Chapter 32: Ambush

  Norwegian troops entered from Pakistan to the US military base in southern Afghanistan, and then transferred to Kandahar. The US then withdrew most of its forces from the south after Norway's entry into Kandahar and marched towards the Arghandab region to conduct a clearing operation against Taliban militants.

  Bahrain border

  This is a typical mountainous terrain, with only rocks on the mountains and not even a single tree. This is the must-pass route for Norwegian troops entering southern Afghanistan's desert.

  About ten kilometers north of here, there is a small town. The town is square in shape and serves as a buffer zone between Afghanistan and Pakistan. There are only indigenous people in the town, no troops, occasionally some mercenaries come to rest or buy various information.

  Without military control, the town is destined to be filled with all sorts of rare filth and strangeness, every household has guns, many drug dealers gather here, there are prisoners everywhere, and brothels and casinos can be seen everywhere.

  Every day someone dies here, but every day many people come to pay their respects, because this place is where fate and danger coexist. The dark side of a country under the rule of law is a way of life here.

  The town's former name has been forgotten and it is usually referred to as Black Town.

  On a not-so-high mountain top, Zhao Ziyang and Ao Mo, Suo Te, Dao Feng, and Liandao Shou were quietly lying there, waiting for the appearance of the Norwegian army.

  "Special Forces, are you sure the first one to appear was the Guardian?" Omo asked, sipping water from a straw in his mouth while wiping down the M134 in his hand.

  "Alright." Zhao Ziyang nodded, pushing his sunglasses up the bridge of his nose and squinting at the scorching sun in the sky. "Our mission is simple: complete the diversion and create an opportunity for Anqi'er and Pandora."

  "A simple task?" The scythe-wielding man muttered to himself, a hint of a smile on his face.

  It's not a simple task that anyone can understand. With the strength of five people, completing the containment and firepower attraction of the defender mercenary is simply not a simple task.

  However, nothing is absolute, and this is their last stand, where they can only succeed but not fail.

  "Alright, simple task." Zhao Ziyang's face showed a confident smile as he lightly patted the shoulder of the scythe-wielding man and said to him: "After completing the task, I'll treat you to Chinese food."

  Zhao Ziyang now has a good impression of the scythe-wielding Austrian, who has a stronger sense of obedience than other mercenaries and is also a decent person, just like Omo.

  "Alright!" The scythe-wielding man grinned, his mouth twisted in a smile.

  Some guys in the group like Chinese food and are very curious about it. They think Chinese food is mysterious, when cooking, casually put some leaves and bark, and the aroma makes people drool, it's simply too magical.

  "Special forces, can you send me a few bottles of soy sauce?" Ao Mo's voice came over, with a tone of simplicity and expectation.

  "Soy sauce?" Zhao Ziyang looked at Omo with great surprise.

  "Really!" Omomo nodded in agreement, savoring the memory as he spoke: "Mayonnaise on bread is the best flavor in the world. We all love mayonnaise."

  Zhao Ziyang was delighted, he really couldn't imagine soy sauce could be eaten this way.

  "No problem, I'll send you a jar of fermented tofu sauce, it's even better than soy sauce." Zhao Ziyang made the promise.

  "Really? Hehe......" Ao Mo smiled contentedly, muttering the three words "bean curd sauce" to himself.

  The blade edge was observing the situation in front of it without interruption, and entered a state of combat readiness ahead of time. As for Swote, he was watching Zhao Ziyang and others joking around, quietly lying there, weighing the bullets back and forth, checking if there were any duds.

  "Swore, mission accomplished..."

  "The task hasn't even started yet." Swort replied coldly to Zhao Ziyang, his face full of disdain.

  Zhao Ziyang was taken aback by Su's retort and shut his mouth, no longer seeking trouble for himself.

  He just wanted to liven up the atmosphere before the battle, nothing more. It's impossible for him to try to get in good with Swett. The two of them seem to have a bit of an incompatible relationship from the start. But it doesn't matter, they are both professional soldiers through and through, when doing serious business they will put aside personal grudges.

  。

  "Zizizi... Special troops, special troops, I am Night Rose, I am Night Rose, everything is ready, look at you." The voice of Angel came from the wireless radio.

  "Understood, complete mission and withdraw immediately, repeat, complete mission and withdraw immediately!"

  "I understand! Hehe......"

  The division of labor is clear, Zhao Ziyang and his team are just holding down the ambushers, Angie and Pandora are hunting and filming Norwegian soldiers. Without Seth to receive post-production, Angie and her team must retreat after completing the task and complete the video post-production as soon as possible to spread it in Norway.

  This time is very tight, according to estimates, it will take three to five days after the video is released for the effect to appear, and the real time when Norway can't hold on and choose to withdraw should be around seven to nine days.

  That is to say, Zhao Ziyang and the five others were a bit like the Five Tigers of Mount Wolf, who had to complete the tactical retreat without any support. The signal for their withdrawal was that An Qi and Er would have to successfully withdraw first, otherwise there would be great variables.

  "Attention, attention, Norwegian vanguard approaching center, Norwegian vanguard approaching center." The sound of the blade was clear and resonated in everyone's ears.

  "Received! Received!" Zhao Ziyang responded, picking up his binoculars and gazing into the distance.

  A pair of soldiers wearing Norwegian military uniforms appeared at the mountain pass half a kilometer south of the strategic location. The team consisted of twenty-seven people, with three people forming a combat unit in an equilateral triangle formation. Nine front-line combat units formed a dispersed yet compact saw-toothed equilateral triangle, marching into the open plain between the two mountains with guns at the ready and tactical steps, approaching this place.

  "Watch their tactical movements." Zhao Ziyang reminded his teammates around him.

  The tactical movements of these soldiers are extremely sophisticated, and they can turn an ambush into a powerful firepower at the first time, or switch to defense in the first place. The randomness of these soldiers' tactical steps, they don't have the stereotype of regular soldiers, and each person's step frequency is proportional to their height.

  The ground may be very messy, but overall it gives people a very harmonious feeling.

  The most striking thing is the firearms in their hands, from American equipment to Russian equipment, wrapping British equipment and so on, mixed and uneven, and the amount of equipment is much more than that of regular soldiers. Basically, each person will carry three or more handguns and military knives on various parts of their body.

  。

  "Guardians." Omo let out a soft breath as he revealed the true identity of these soldiers.

  The mercenaries who accepted the employment put on Norwegian military uniforms, firstly to avoid unnecessary trouble and secondly because the Norwegian military also required them to do so.

  For which country to die, you have to wear the military uniform of that country. This is an unwritten rule, after all, no country wants to make it clear that they are using mercenaries, and doing so would lead to criticism from around the world.

  Mercenaries are everywhere despised by all righteous men, yet they are a necessary tool for every state's military actions.

  A thick bulletproof steel plate, about ten centimeters thick, was propped up by Amo, with the Gatling M134 mounted in a recessed groove in the middle of the steel plate. The whole person hid behind the steel plate and stared forward through the shooting hole.

  A 10mm steel plate can stop all rifle bullets, including armor-piercing rounds from any sniper rifle. The clumsy yet powerful protective steel plate will allow the OMO to exert its maximum power, making it an impregnable fortress of firepower.

  Only a freak like Omo would use something as crude but effective as this, no one can break through the vitality point he built by himself.

  The blade that completed the observation returns to the formation, pulls out the Russian-made SVD sniper rifle from behind his back, and lies on the mountain head to aim at the defender mercenary a thousand meters away.

  At the same time, Swartz and Scythe also pulled out a sniper rifle on the mountain, an M107 long-range sniper rifle, and an AMP sniper rifle.

  They had only five people for this tactical tug-of-war, or a difficult battle.

  Zhao Ziyang still held up his 95-style assault rifle, gently placing his eyes on the scope, aiming at a height of about fifteen centimeters above the head of a Guardian mercenary about a kilometer away.

  "Get in a bit closer, again, get in a bit closer, 800 meters distance, pay attention to adjust."

  Several people immediately adjusted the sniper rifle's sight to a distance of eight hundred meters.

  In the scope, the Guardian mercenaries cautiously continued to advance in tactical steps. At this time, they looked extremely ridiculous in Zhao Ziyang's eyes, a group of cannon fodder, a group of poor cannon fodder who were about to die.

  1,200 meters, 1,000 meters, 900 meters...

  "Get ready"

  "Zhao Ziyang's voice echoed in the ears of several people including Knife Edge."

  Three!

  Two!

  "Ah!"

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Kael and Swartz, the scythe-wielding hand simultaneously pulled the trigger to fire sniper bullets at the Guardian mercenaries who had entered within 800 meters. The moment the guns fired, three Guardians' bodies were clearly seen flying backward, heavily falling to the ground.

  Zhao Ziyang also fired after the three men opened fire, and a bullet that he had previously flattened on a stone was ejected from the chamber, accurately hitting one of the guards in the head.

  In the sniper's scope, the defender's head exploded like a watermelon, his body slumping to one side and crashing heavily to the ground.

  Using an assault rifle to achieve the effect of a sniper rifle, perhaps no one can do it except Zhao Ziyang.

  The four guardians who fell down instantly reacted quickly, immediately choosing to lie down on the ground and look for cover. However, the terrain they were in was an open area between two mountains, the open area was a plain, and the plain meant that there were not many covers for them to use.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!......" The sniper rifle continuously emitted the roar of death, one after another defender who could not find effective cover was penetrated by sniper bullets, and countless people were killed or injured at that time.

  But even when they were ambushed, they remained calm and used various tactics to evade the sniper's line of sight, creating time for themselves to find cover.

  After six more bodies fell, the remaining defenders hid their bodies behind three rocks and used the rocks to avoid Zhao Ziyang's sniping again.

  Ten corpses lying horizontally and vertically cast a shadow of death over this small open space, the originally yellow land presents a gaudy sheen after absorbing a large amount of fresh blood.

  The gunfire stopped, the wailing sound also disappeared, and the defenders quietly hid behind the rocks waiting. Zhao Ziyang and his group were also silent, quietly waiting too.

  The wind stopped blowing, and a deathly silence enveloped the area.
