Chapter 16 Mekong River Basin, Canyon Operations
The shock wave created by the explosion instantly bent all the reeds on the river bank, and it was the explosion of weapons and ammunition placed in the speedboat that could produce such great power.
Before the helicopter arrived at the water, the dragon had already lurked from the middle of the river to the hilly heights on the opposite bank.
The scene of the enemy flying a helicopter hovering over the river and a large explosion of the speedboat under intensive fire was all seen in his sniper scope, and he continued to wait...... Waiting for the opportunity to come!
"That kid must be lurking in the nearby waters!" the man in the helicopter seat speculated.
"He's really a mercenary wanted in Southeast Asia years ago...... Chasing the dragon?" the man in the back cabin with a rushing rifle asked.
"Of course, is there anything wrong with the boss's information? Didn't you see that we almost died at the hands of the woman who was traveling with him? If we hadn't avoided the fire and arrow bullets in time, I guess everyone would have become cannon fodder by now! Hmph......" The man in the driver's seat analyzed.
"But don't worry, Chasing Dragon and that woman are weak and at a disadvantage, wait for the three of you to go down at the same time, and you must kill that kid. As long as we complete this task, the boss will definitely be well paid!" said the man in the driver's seat, cheering up.
"Okay, wait for the helicopter to fly close to the river, then everyone will look for an opportunity to land, pay attention to wear communication equipment, and contact in time after successfully killing the target, and I will pick you up." The driver commanded.
"A bunch of ignorant people, he's not that easy to deal with!" hum ......," said the co-pilot, the man with headphones, whose face was covered in leopard-like tattoos, and the yellow and black leopard prints were so vivid that it made people shudder.
"Lightning Leopard, the boss invited you to come here at the beginning, and you were on a mission! ”
Although the driver was furious in his heart, when he saw the terrifying totem on the leopard man's face, his eyes were red and murderous, and he had to suppress the anger in his heart.
At the same time, two sturdy men at the back of the cockpit were sorting out their equipment, each carrying a chargearm, a sniper rifle, and a bayonet.
Not much.
The helicopter gradually lowered its flight attitude, and a black rope fell from the helicopter hatch over the river.
Chasing the dragon was lying on the mountainside about 800 meters away from the helicopter at this time, a few haphazard piles of rocks covering his entire head, and the barrel of a black hole was swaying fresh leaves, which was indeed a perfect camouflage.
At the door of the helicopter in the sniper scope, a man in camouflage uniform was holding a charge rifle and fastening the buckle around his waist to the rope rope, and was rappelling in the air......
Chasing the dragon aimed the crosshair of the sniper scope at the back of the man who was landing, and he only needed to pull the trigger lightly to send him to God to confess his sins.
The sniper rifle is like an extremely sharp knife, and the enemy is like meat on the chopping board, allowing him to slaughter.
It wasn't until the third enemy landed on the shallows of the river that Chasing Long saw that his face was covered in leopard tattoos, even if he saw it in a sniper scope, it couldn't help but make people shudder.
Chasing the dragon still didn't pull the trigger, he thought that on this empty river, it would be easy to shoot these enemies, but the people in the helicopter could easily escape.
"Since you're here, let's all stay!" muttered to himself.
After the helicopter pilot put down his companion, he reached out to signal that the handover was complete, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
People are often most likely to ignore the arrival of potential dangers, which are often the deadliest, when they are triumphant.
The crosshair in the sniper scope in the dragon chaser's hand was facing the raised arm, and he estimated it in his mind......
The wind speed is 2 meters per second, the southwest wind direction is suitable.
"Bang!"
A blazing line of fire roared out, and the sound of gunfire instantly spread through every corner of the deep rainforest.
The M21 sniper rifle bullet in Chalong's hand instantly pierced the glass window of the helicopter's cockpit, leaving a snowflake-shaped bullet hole. The arm hit by the bullet was long gone, and bright red plasma splattered around the bridge and on the windshield, creating a bloody blur.
Through the sniper lens, the chasing dragon could not tell if the pilot was instantly dead, and it took a little more than three seconds......
After the helicopter lost control, its flight attitude changed and began to sway from side to side, like a wild goose that had been shot, and flew straight towards the rainforest on the bank of the river......
Thundered......
A huge explosion rang out, accompanied by a thick cloud of black smoke and flames, and the helicopter crashed deep into the rainforest.
The three enemies, who had landed near the shallows of the riverbank, hurried into the jungle around the riverbank after hearing the sound of gunfire.
Chasing the dragon peeked into the overgrown waters in front of him in the sniper scope, and his mind kept turning over the memories of the scene that were still there.
There was no discernible movement around the calm shallows except for the half-man-tall reed branches and leaves fluttering in the wind, and the three enemies seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind.
Judging from the weapons and equipment of the three people, the other party is also a soldier who is good at using sniper rifles, and the calmer and surprisingly calm around the river, this is the aspect that worries Chasing Dragon the most. It shows that the enemy's psychological quality and jungle combat experience are very rich, and at this time, in the sniper battle with one enemy and three enemies, the slightest negligence can change their respective fate.
Despising the enemy often costs you dearly, as previous combat experience has taught him.
Chasing the dragon lay in the crack of the rock and looked at his watch, just after noon. The sky was already under heavy pressure from lead clouds, the light was getting dimmer, and visibility was greatly reduced. A slight breeze blows on your face, and the air is humid, indicating that a heavy rainstorm is coming.
Is Myna still lurking on the riverbank as planned?
Will the three sniper killers who have successfully rappelled down in the helicopter find any trace of Maina?
Time seemed to stand still, the breeze was constantly blowing in his face, carrying a thick mist in the air, he could not wait any longer, the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for him, and he had to take the initiative to find the hiding place of the three enemies.
Chasing the dragon reached into the small bag hanging from his waist, and kept groping for something, which was a slender and transparent fishing line.
He carefully fastened one end to the trigger of his sniper rifle, then bent slightly to move his body lying on the rocky ground, moving slowly backwards......
The slender and sturdy fishing line went around the branches and extended out for about ten meters, and the end of the fishing line was wrapped around the thumb of the chasing dragon, and he was lying under a dwarf palm tree, and the green hanging palm leaves covered the body of the chasing dragon tightly.
After making sure that the fishing line was successfully arranged, Chasing Long took out the binoculars in his bag and observed the shallows of the river.
The location of the explosion of the white speedboat was in the middle of the river, with undulating hills on both sides, and the shallow river where the three enemies had descended was in the canyon area......
He slowly tightened the line in his hand, and the telescope continued to observe the possible enemy positions around the river.
"Bang!"
The taut line finally pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle, and the bullet whistled out instantly, leaving a faint trail of smoke in the humid air.
Chasing the dragon knows that it doesn't matter where the bullet goes, and the sound of the sniper rifle is bound to alarm the enemy, so it is best to make the enemy immediately misjudge and counterattack the sniper rifle position.
After three seconds......
The reed flowers that fell on the surface of the water on the shallow of the river moved abnormally, which was a movement that did not move much, but it was still caught by the sharp gaze of the chasing dragon in an instant.
Through the binoculars, Chasing Dragon observed that they were several reed flowers floating in shallow water, a swarthy barrel hidden under a soft spike of flowers, and the entire body of the spear was covered with weeds and dry vines.
The enemy's body was buried beneath the thick sand, and a face covered in oil paint was clinging to the sniper scope.
Chasing the dragon slowly moved backwards, returned to the original point to retrieve the sniper rifle, and quickly lurked under the dwarf and dense palm tree. Deftly poking the swarthy barrel out from under the leaves of the palm tree.
The enemy lurking in the shallows of the mud and sand in the sniper scope is motionless, as if petrified, staring at the landscape of Chasing Dragons.
"When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you. Chasing the dragon can't help but think of this sentence, this is a battle between two killers, there is no judgment of good and evil, and living is the truth.
Chasing the dragon rests the crosshair on the opponent's painted face......
Where are the other two enemies?
If they discovered this commanding heights of sniping at the same time, would they sneak into the mountains behind them in an encirclement posture and catch turtles in an urn? The head of the chasing dragon attached to the sniper scope couldn't help but think of these questions.
After three seconds......
Chasing the dragon slowly pulls the trigger...... Of course, he already had a corresponding combat strategy in mind.
"Bang!"
The sniper bullet pierced the sky and fired at the shallows of the river bank at an initial velocity of 800 meters per second, and the front of the barrel was filled with white smoke and was rising and spreading......
A fist-sized blood hole immediately appeared in the head of the enemy lurking in the mud and sand, and blood-red flesh splattered on the muddy ground, and dark red blood spread freely on the damp mud surface.
The moment when Chasing Dragon immediately retracted the sniper rifle after pulling the trigger......
"Bang!"
Another gunshot, followed by a bang......
The branches and leaves of the palm tree above the head of the chasing dragon rustled, and the thick trunk behind it had been broken by a powerful bullet, and the trunk fell to one side.
Chasing the dragon instinctively crouched on the ground, the skin on the back of his neck exposed, the pain of being cut by the fibers of the blasted branches, and at the same time his body clinging to the cold and damp ground, a rotting smell of plants mixed with animal feces came to his nose.
At present, he can only continue to lie on the ground, obviously the enemy's firing point is lower than the lurking position of chasing the dragon, if he hadn't retracted his head instantly after shooting, the tragic scene on the shoal just now would have happened to him.
"Fate can change, but good fortune can accompany it. Chasing the dragon said to himself.
The other two enemies had already discovered the lurking position, and he had to get out of it immediately, and God didn't let him see from which direction the bullet had just fired.
The enemy is in the dark, he is in the light, and now the scales of life and death have tilted.
Chasing the dragon bent his arms slowly, his limbs moving backwards against the wet, the metal objects on his chest occasionally scraping against the stones.
It wasn't until he had retreated to a grassy ground that he rolled over and picked up his steps and ran quickly to the other side of the mountainside.
At this time, the sky was drizzling with drizzle, and the sky was even darker.
Chasing the dragon was running under his feet, the crumbling droplets on the tips of the branches and leaves felt unusually cold and wet when splashing on his face, and the rifle and sniper rifle on his back collided with each other, and the sound was non-stop......
At this time, he kept clearing up useful clues in his mind, only that there was an enemy in the opposite mountain forest, and that he could determine that the sniper rifle used by that enemy was Barrett.
Only the 12.7mm bullet caliber of a long-range sniper rifle like Barrett can shoot a bowl-thick palm tree at the waist.
