Chapter 1 (I) The Rescue of the Mercenaries

Armed illegal diamond mines somewhere in Astaya, East Africa, a small country bordering Somalia and Kenya, at 6:30 a.m. local time.

Tian Yehan, who was dressed in self-made disguise, was lying on the spot he had arrived at 3 hours ago, his face was painted with camouflage, and he couldn't see other faces clearly except for his eyes. But he looked very uncomfortable lying on his stomach, and the sniper named Al on the side also looked very uncomfortable - Tian Yehan's tall and short stature was no different from that of Europeans and Americans, and because he had been running around on the battlefield for many years, he couldn't get fat if he wanted to, and he couldn't find a soft place on his body except for his muscles.

Tian Yehan observed for a while, slowly retreated, took off the hat on his head, he used a telescope to observe all the targets that could be seen in the diamond mine area below, moving and fixed, and recorded them one by one in the notebook in his hand, and there was a simple topographic map drawn in the notebook.

"Area A, 9 o'clock, 3rd floor of the tower, there are two militiamen with AK47s." Tian Yehan held the binoculars in his hand and said to the bald sniper in his thirties lying next to him, "Al, those two people are not the primary target. ”

The sniper who called Al said "um" and observed the position of the tower through the M200 sniper scope: "Counting the 2nd floor of the tower and the ground fortifications, there are a total of 7 people, all equipped with assault rifles, 2 of them also have RPGs next to them, and there is an RPD light machine gun on the 3rd floor of the tower, and it is estimated that the ammunition is only 300 rounds at most, which is my primary goal." ”

"Only 300 rounds? 300 rounds is enough to make 5 of us into a honeycomb...... Boss, who is the employer? If you don't tell us, I think other people must have the same idea as me, and they all regret taking this deal, we don't know the exact location of the rescue target, only know that in this mine, this place is as big as the farm in my hometown, and if you throw someone in, you have to find it for ten days and half a month, not to mention that there are gun-wielding everywhere. Heavy Rust chattered and grumbled in the intercom.

"Hey, I hate racists!" The knight who lurked in the bushes at the forefront below, "Chief, I think we should leave?" ”

"I refuse! Because we have already received the deposit, and we have given more than half of the deposit to my wife, and the remaining balance is quite considerable, I have to rest for two years after this vote. Gang Feng, who was covering the right flank, sat on a tree, closed his eyes and recuperated when the mine in front of him did not exist.

The knight chuckled softly: "Gangfeng, I heard you say that you have divorced that woman who spent a lot of money hundreds of times, but you have not taken action until now. ”

Gang Feng opened his eyes and looked at the mine below: "Because we find that we are still in love with each other, the night is cold, you have a saying in China called husband and wife?" ”

"It's like a husband and wife." Tian Yehan said with a smile.

"Yes, that's it, it makes sense, but it's a bit of a mouthful. Boss, we really want to know, who are the targets and employers? Gang Feng complained.

"There are some things that you don't know best, but if you really want to know, I can tell you that the employer is from Shandu." Tian Yehan smiled, "The rescue target is called Zhang Zhikh, Chinese, we don't need to know his background or anything, we just know to find him, rescue him, and then take him to the predetermined place to hand over to the customer, it's as simple as that." ”

"Simple?" Rust let out a long sigh and stared at the mine below from the red dot scope, "There are 35 militiamen that can be seen below, that is, there are 35 AK47s, although their marksmanship is not good, and there may be people who don't know how to change bullets, but firing together, the bullet casings alone can drown us." ”

Tian Yehan replied simply: "I originally planned to start at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, but because we haven't found the location of the target, we can only wait, it's 6:40 now, the sun is already shining, we can only choose to do it in an hour, when the sun will rise high on the mountain behind us, we are backlit, and they are backlit." ”

Tian Yehan said and picked up the telescope again, the reason why he didn't do it in the middle of the night was because he didn't know where Zhang Zhikhan was. At present, there are 6 large houses in the open field, and 4 small houses in the jungle next to it, and from the observation at night, the 4 small houses should be the residence of the militia, and the 6 large houses should be the residence of the workers they kidnapped, and there are 3 huge tents in between.

It stands to reason that all workers will work under the surveillance of the militia, and it should not be difficult to find a yellow-skinned Chinese from among the blacks, but why has the Chinese named Zhang Zhikhan never appeared?

Something can't be wrong, right? Tian Yehan was a little worried, and at this moment, Al on the side asked in a low voice: "Boss, who are the people in that photo you are carrying?" In addition to your father, are the other two [***] people, and the other two children all your friends? ”

Tian Yehan looked sideways at Al, and nodded for a long time: "Yes, my hair is small, do you know what it means to be small?" It's friends who grew up together, their father and my father are comrades-in-arms, and they both came back from fighting self-defense and fighting back, but after my father retired, he went to Hong Kong in a daze, saying that he wanted to take me and my mother to make a fortune against the trend of reform and opening up, but it ......backfired."

Tian Yehan and his mother went to Hong Kong with their father Tian Huimin, who knew that the first transaction was actually used by the big circle gang in Hong Kong, Tian Huimin secretly called the police in desperation, but was discovered, and started a shootout with others in Tsuen Wan, although he retreated, and since then he has made a feud with the big circle gang, and later under the guidance of an old comrade-in-arms, he was hired by a mercenary company and went to the war-torn Middle East at that time.

A few years later, Tian Huimin registered a mercenary company by himself, employing all Chinese retired soldiers, Tian Yehan also naturally inherited his father's business and started this business, but unfortunately his mother couldn't stand this kind of life, and separated from his father in a fit of anger, and finally returned to China.

Tian Yehan took out the black and white photo again, looked at the two children standing with him on it, and said, "The two of them, one is called Tang Shuxing and the other is called Ji Kefeng, they are both bastards like me. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Yehan sighed and said to himself: "Maybe both of them are married and have children, living ordinary people's lives, worrying about mortgages and children's schooling all day long, unlike me, who live a life of licking blood with a knife." ”

When Al was about to speak, he suddenly heard gunshots in the mine, and he immediately grabbed his sniper rifle and searched below with Tian Yehan, who was holding a telescope.

"Boss, what's going on? I couldn't see anyone shooting in my position. Tian Yehan's headphones came from Gang Feng's question.

Tian Yehan searched below: "The situation is unknown, and we haven't seen it either." Just as Tian Yehan continued to search, a second gunshot was heard at this time.

"I see, you shouldn't be able to see where you are, it's behind a room on the right, at 1 o'clock in my direction, it looks like I'm executing." Gang Feng saw through the telescope 7 people with their hands tied behind their backs, 5 to be exact, because 2 of their heads had blossomed and fell to the ground.

The shooters were dressed strangely, with their bodies covered in white paint with all sorts of strange symbols, as if they were performing some kind of weird religious ritual. After each killing, the person would kneel in front of the corpse, raise his hand and place it on the back of the corpse's neck, and then touch it all the way to the buttocks, still saying something in his mouth.

After hearing the situation, Tian Yehan hurriedly asked: "Have you found that the target of our rescue is a Chinese, very conspicuous." ”

"I'm sorry, but on the shady side of the back of the house, I can't tell if it's black or yellow, and I'm trying." Gang Feng struggled to see it.

The knight at the forefront spoke at this time: "Chief, do you need to act?" I'm here to the location that Gangfeng is pointing at, and it only takes 2 minutes to sneak in. ”

Gang Feng said in a deep voice: "Two minutes is enough for them to execute several people." ”

Tian Yehan put down the binoculars and decided to take a gamble: "The knight will stay put, keep the current state, Gang Feng will continue to observe, and in addition, everyone will check the weapons." ”

Rust said at this point, "Boss, my M240 doesn't have a muffler. ”

Tian Yehan held the binoculars and continued to observe: "The machine gun is loaded, use your assault rifle before it is exposed." ”

"Be quiet!" Al interjected in the intercom at this time, "Chief, there are two more towers around the house, report the location and distance of the target." ”

"Tower 1 in Area B, direction at 3 o'clock, 1 person on the 1st floor, 2 people on the 2nd floor, 1 person on the 3rd floor, 900 yards away. Tower 2, 1 o'clock, 2 people on the 1st floor, 1 person on the 2nd floor, 1 person on the 3rd floor, 1400 yards away, now the wind direction is 400 to the right, and the wind direction can only be determined according to the time of shooting. Tian Yehan said while observing, and at the same time recorded it in the notebook.

"Tower 2 is a bit difficult to hit at this distance, I suggest waiting until they disperse, and let the knight and Gangfeng cooperate with me." Al said softly.

"Wait! There is a case! Tian Yehan saw three ragged people coming out of one of the rooms through the binoculars, one of them was full of stubble, looking around, Tian Yehan locked on the person's face, and immediately said, "Target confirmed, my 3 o'clock position, the man with an Asian face and beard, is Zhang Zhikhun." ”

After speaking, Tian Yehan repeated: "All attention, the rescue target has appeared, so far in my 3 o'clock direction, the visual distance is 800 yards, there are no militia around, and the nearest militia is at least 400 yards away from them, but I don't know the identities of the two people behind the target...... Knight, you check. ”

"Roger!" The knight crawled forward from the bushes, crawled towards Zhang Zhikhan who was walking towards his position, stopped when he was about to climb to the mouth of the bushes, and was about to speak, when he found that the three people had approached, and they were still talking something, the knight could not understand, so he had to take out the spare intercom and put it in the grass on the edge of the bushes, and he lurked and did not move.

"What do you want to do?" Outside the bushes, Zhang Zhikhan asked the two black men behind him, and the two black men looked at each other and asked in the local language, "Please hand over that thing, or we will all die with you!" ”

Zhang Zhikhan shook his head, very calm: "I don't understand what you're talking about." ”

Tian Yehan heard clearly from the knight's spare intercom, and Al, who was on the side, translated the words of the two black men into English in time.

The two blacks repeated their previous words, but Zhang Zhikhan still said that he did not understand their language, and then he was pressed down by the two and began to search his body, with very rough movements.

Seeing all this in the scope, Al immediately asked: "The target is pressed down, is the attack allowed?" ”

Tian Yehan didn't answer, just watched, because the two blacks were obviously kidnapped workers here, this was not an official battlefield, and the two blacks were just civilians, and they couldn't take lethal measures until they showed that they wanted to kill Zhang Zhikh.

"Boss! Is the attack allowed? Al asked again, already aiming at the man's head on the right.

At this time, two black men were already punching Zhang Zhikh, and one of them shouted loudly: "If you don't hand over the diamonds, we will all die, and we shouldn't have taken you in the first place!" ”

As soon as the word "diamond" came out, Al was stunned, and at the same time, Knight, Rust, and Gangfeng, who were familiar with the local language, were also shocked. Tian Yehan didn't understand the local language, so he didn't know why Al turned his head to look at him at this juncture, and thought he was urging him to ask if he was attacking.

The two negroes were tired, and one of them lifted a stone and said coldly: "If you don't die, we all have to die." ”

Seeing this scene, Al immediately said: "Knight, you solve the one who holds the target, I solve the one who holds the stone, 3-2-1, action!" ”

After Al finished speaking, he pulled the trigger, and the bullet hit the head of the man who lifted the stone, and at the same time, the knight who escaped from the bushes also used a dagger to instantly cut the neck of the person holding Zhang Zhikh, and quickly dragged the two corpses into the bushes, and then dragged the frightened Zhang Zhikhan into the grass, covered his mouth, and asked in English: "Can you understand English?" What is your name? ”

Zhang Zhikhan nodded, the knight slowly let go of his hand, and he replied in a low voice: "My name is Zhang Zhikhun." ”

The knight nodded, pressed the intercom and said to the others, "The target is rescued and confirmed, now bring it back." ”

When Tian Yehan heard the news, he immediately ordered: "Al, Rust, and Gangfeng are on guard, and when the knight brings the target back, there is no time to dispose of the corpse, and they should find out in a few minutes." ”

After Tian Yehan finished speaking, he grabbed the AKM that was placed on the side, and stared at the position of the knight with a telescope in one hand.

Soon, the knight brought Zhang Zhikhan back and brought him to Tian Yehan, who immediately asked in Chinese: "Your name is Zhang Zhikhun?" ”

Zhang Zhikhan nodded, very strange that the person in front of him with a face full of camouflage camouflage actually spoke Chinese.

Tian Yehan asked again: "I have to confirm again, what obvious evidence do you have?" ”

Zhang Zhikhan pondered for two seconds and said in a low voice: "Shangdu! ”

Tian Yehan nodded slightly, and when he was about to give an order again, Gang Feng's voice came from the earphones: "At 3 o'clock, two militiamen armed with AKs came over from the position where the two killed targets fell to the ground, and they should soon find blood stains on the ground, so it is recommended to prepare to shoot." ”

"Veto!" Tian Yehan looked at the two so-called militiamen, both smoking cigarettes, but only 13 or 14-year-old children, "They are just children, don't shoot!" ”

Gang Feng shook his head and said, "Boss, you don't know what will happen if you fall into the hands of these so-called 'gun children', they will turn you into shredded corpses with machetes, and then dry them!" ”

Tian Yehan pointed at Zhang Zhikh, signaled him to follow him, and patted Al Dao again: "Prepare to retreat!" ”

Al nodded, got up and put away the sniper rifle, and was about to leave, Zhang Zhikhan suddenly grabbed Tian Yehan and said: "I can't go yet, I have a very important thing underneath, if there is no it, I can't go, I can't die." ”
