Chapter 671: Escape
"Boom-"
Just as Clark was hesitating to go out with his men, an explosion occurred in the distance, and it was north of the camp.
The sound of the explosion was extremely low, and a rising fireball lit up the night sky.
Apparently, the ground troops sent by Lyon were ambushed, and bombs were planted on the roads, killing most of the mercenaries who had been reinforced.
This battle can't be fought!
It's not just Clark who thinks about it, it's everyone.
Actually, Clark had already thought of it.
The enemy outside the camp did not attack, so he was asked to call for reinforcements, and then deal with the mercenaries who were reinforced, so as to achieve the goal of eliminating more mercenaries.
It's just that after knocking out the reinforced mercenaries, the enemy will definitely storm the camp.
Can it be kept?
You know, those guys have individual anti-aircraft missiles, then there must be weapons like bazookas, mortars, and even anti-tank missiles.
In addition, the company "Angu" has air power.
Perhaps, planes laden with bombs are heading this way.
Not necessarily a fighter, maybe a transport plane.
Why?
Transport aircraft have a greater carrying capacity and a longer range.
If it's just to bomb mercenaries, transport planes will be enough.
Bombs were placed in the cargo hold and dropped over the camp.
In addition, it may not be a bomb, but an oil drum with explosives strapped to it.
Previously, when dealing with the Angolan government army, the Holy Cross had done this, throwing oil drums at the positions of the government army with transport planes.
It can't kill people, but it can burn people.
The camp is so big that it only takes a dozen oil drums filled with gasoline to turn the camp into a sea of fire and burn all the mercenaries in the camp.
Break out, you have to break through!
In fact, before Clark gave the order, his mercenaries had already begun to break through, and most of them rushed towards the camp gates.
Why?
There is the only exit.
The enemy was right outside the camp, and no one knew how many troops the enemy had, and no one knew where the enemy was ambushing, so breaking through the gate was ideal, and climbing over the barbed wire around the camp might not be able to avoid the enemy, and would expose yourself in front of the barbed wire.
In the blink of an eye, the gunshots rang out from the other side of the gate.
However, Clark could tell that it was his men who were shooting, and that the enemy outside the camp did not seem to be shooting at the mercenaries who broke through.
How can it be?
Of course not!
The elite personnel of the "Angu" company all use DF8SMGs and are equipped with mufflers, so the sound of gunfire may not be able to reach the camp.
In addition, in the heat of battle, elite mercenaries will never fire indiscriminately.
Especially in night battles, indiscriminate strafing is a waste of bullets, and the correct way is to aim and shoot, and a few shots can kill a mercenary.
With the use of night vision equipment, several elites of the "Angu" company were able to block the door.
Why?
The DF8SMG is a general-purpose firearm, equipped with a large-capacity drum, and even directly fed by a chain, which is a powerful general-purpose machine gun.
A couple of machine guns, absolutely able to block the gate.
To break through from the gate is to send to death.
In fact, the enemy was standing outside the camp, perhaps just waiting for Clark and them to break through.
Why?
The situation inside the camp is even more complicated, and storming the camp and fighting with the mercenaries of the Holy Cross will inevitably lead to casualties.
Staying outside the camp and hiding in the shadows can achieve zero casualties.
The battle was still going on, and several mercenaries drove the vehicle over.
However, Clark did not go to the gate, but went around to the back of the camp, ready to cut through the barbed wire and slip out from the north.
In his opinion, there must be the least number of enemies over there, and the hope of breaking through is greater.
It's just that Clark didn't call anyone else.
Why?
This is not a breakout, it is an escape.
There are too many people, and they will definitely not be able to escape.
As Clark began to cut the barbed wire, explosions were heard from the other side of the gate, and a fire broke out, and the gunfire became more intense.
Perhaps, someone wanted to break through by car, but the vehicle was blown up.
Of course, it's also possible that the mercenary pushes the vehicle out and then blows it up in order to distract the enemy so that they can't aim and fire.
In addition, taking advantage of the explosion, all the mercenaries in the camp who were still able to move were killed.
If you don't break through at this time, there may be no hope.
Although all the mercenaries are extremely vicious, no mercenary wants to die on the battlefield, as long as they can survive, they will do their best.
Actually, this is not the case with Clark.
He had already decided that if he could escape, he would return to South Africa immediately, leave Cape Town with his savings, and go to another city to live incognito for a few years, and then come out to find a job or simply go to another country to make a living.
Life may be hard, but being alive is better than anything else.
Cutting the last wire, Clark put away the multi-purpose dagger, and then rolled the cut wire up, creating a gap just enough to climb out.
After a close look at the SCAR after making sure there was no danger outside, Clark first threw the SCAR out.
The camp was built on a sloping site, at the top of a hill to be exact, with a gentle slope several metres high beyond the barbed wire fence and a dry riverbed below.
Heading southwest along the riverbed, you'll reach a rebel-controlled village just before dawn.
You can get a vehicle there and you can leave Angola.
In any case, he was still a member of the Holy Cross, and he was the captain of the group, and those rebels did not dare to make enemies of him.
Clark cautiously drilled through the barbed wire.
No way, the barbed wire is full of barbs.
Rolling down the slope, Clark grabbed the SCAR that had fallen to the ground.
Just as he was about to get up, a hard gang thing pressed against the back of his head.
Muzzle!?
Clark reacted immediately.
However, before he could make any moves, a sharp dagger silently pressed against his chin, and the blade was on his neck.
At this time, Clark saw a ghost.
Of course, not a ghost, but a man in a desert camouflage suit.
People from the "Angu" company?
That's the gilly suit, the favorite of the special forces.
The camouflage is so good that even if you are close to it, you may not be able to spot it.
What's more, the guy is holding a DF8SMG with a somewhat special appearance.
The first thing Clark notices is actually the DF8SMG, because he has always dreamed of getting one, but he has never seen it in reality.
Obviously, it was a privately customized DF8SMG, with a significantly longer barrel, and it was a sniper type.
Before Clark could speak, the man picked up the butt of his rifle and smashed it over.
Clark didn't resist, didn't even raise his hand to resist.
Whether he is dead or alive, his fate is in the hands of others.
