Chapter 35: The Madman Creator

  The defenders won't move, and Zhao Ziyang and the others naturally won't either. What they're doing is just holding them back, the longer the better, so that they can buy more time for An Qi'er and the others.

  "Boom! Boom!..." The sound of explosions echoed from the valley in front, where a Taliban-laid mine had been triggered by Norwegian soldiers.

  In the midst of a landmine explosion, sniper rifle shots rang out continuously as Angel and Pando began to snipe Norwegian soldiers.

  This terrain was well studied by them, it was necessary to use the open area between the two mountains to separate the defenders from the Norwegian soldiers. Gun smoke is always in the front row, this point will never change.

  The south-facing mountain was in disarray, but the guardians of the open terrain remained calm and composed, hiding behind rocks without making any moves to offer assistance.

  In fact, they were also unable to provide assistance. As soon as they left the shelter of the rocks, they would be sniped at immediately. The other side was not Taliban soldiers, but mercenaries of the same level as them, which could be seen from the neat and efficient sniping.

  It's already obvious who it is, the Guardian Mercenary guessed that the enemy on the mountain was a Lurker, their greatest opponent all along.

  "Boom! Boom!" The mountain on the other side erupted with a fierce explosion again, causing the valley to tremble.

  These are two modified poisonous dart missiles, in pursuit of massive casualties to maximize the injury of Norwegian soldiers. This is what the video requires, the more casualties the better, the bloodier the scene the better, only this way can we maximize the dissatisfaction and anger of the Norwegian people, and force Norway to withdraw its troops with public opinion.

  As the two poisonous stinger missiles exploded violently among the soldiers, everything around was torn to pieces in the explosion. A severed leg flew high into the air and fell straight down with the dispersal of the air energy, heavily smashing onto the ground.

  A Norwegian soldier who had lost both legs was crawling forward on his hands, apparently the farther he crawled the safer he felt. His face was that of a child of ten years old, with the tender bloom of youth still on it, but now distorted in agony as he wailed and wept.

  The rest of the wounded soldiers also let out mournful cries, one soldier whose waist was directly cut in half by a shrapnel shell used both hands to stuff his intestines back into the abdominal cavity, but the more he stuffed them in, the more they flowed out, and finally he could not withstand it and fell heavily to the ground, dead.

  "Dada dada dada..."

  The sudden burst of gunfire sent the Norwegian soldiers into a panic, firing blindly in all directions. The officers' shouted commands were drowned out by the cannon and rifle fire, unable to restrain the troops.

  Perhaps the Norwegian troops were of very good quality, but most of them had never been on a battlefield before. When their lives were threatened, in the midst of flying bullets, all the calm and rational thoughts they had held onto were gone, leaving only the fear of danger as human beings.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!......

  The sniper rifle sounds continued to be emitted without interruption, and Angel and Pandora were like two killing gods harvesting life one by one. Under the thick sunglasses, the light in their eyes could not be seen, but one thing was certain, the two treated this sniping as a competition, because they were softly counting Arabic numerals in their mouths.

  The bewildered Norwegian soldiers finally calmed down under the commander's stern rebuke, too many corpses and blood shocked their visual and olfactory nerves, letting them complete their first growth in blood.

  Usually after the first growth ceremony is completed, it's a reckless frenzy. Dozens of calm Norwegian soldiers recklessly rush towards Angel and Pandora's sniper point, determined to tear the ambushing snipers to shreds.

  Withdraw.

  As Angel's voice sounded, the two simultaneously retracted their guns and put the camera into a backpack heading northeast. As they retreated, Angel casually threw down a small package.

  A crazy Norwegian soldier rushed quickly to the sniper point where the two had just been, and saw the scattered shells on the ground and a small package.

  "Boom!" A deafeningly violent explosion erupted, a black-red flame shot straight into the sky, the air was instantly scorched, and the thick smell of gunpowder and charred flesh spread rapidly in waves.

  Dozens of soldiers were killed, with only a few lucky ones surviving. The two kilograms of C4 in the small package was enough to blow off a layer from this mountain peak.

  A few surviving soldiers crawled out of the ground, with pieces of their comrades' flesh hanging from their bodies and faces. They stared blankly at the huge crater that had appeared before them. After a while, these soldiers collapsed to their knees, covering their faces and wailing in agony, muttering repeatedly that they wanted to go home, wanted to go home...

  This is the battlefield. The battlefield is a machine that produces madmen. Those who survive become war maniacs, and those who don't become madmen in the ordinary sense.

  No one pities the madman, war is like this.

  Angel and Pandora successfully retreated after capturing the final explosion scene, calling Zhao Ziyang by radio to indicate that the mission was completed and they could withdraw.

  Having obtained a clear victory, Zhao Ziyang immediately ordered a retreat, as the task had been accomplished and there was no need to drag things out.

  "Mission accomplished, retreat!" Zhao Ziyang gave the order, gunning down at the rocks where the defenders were hiding.

  Swoot, who was lying on the mountain top, slowly crawled backwards, and only turned around to retreat after crawling over the mountain. The scythe-wielding man followed closely behind him, then Knife Edge, and finally Ou Mo and Zhao Zi Yang.

  "Ao Mo, you retreat first." Zhao Ziyang let Aomo retreat first.

  "You withdraw first!"

  "This is an order."

  Ao Mo took a glance at Zhao Zi Yang, nodded and slowly retreated backwards.

  In Zhao Ziyang's former unit, the commander was always at the forefront and stayed in the last position. This is what Zhao Ziyang remembered very firmly. Because his martyred captain had told him that if you want people to obey you, you must put their lives above your own life, otherwise you can never be a qualified commander.

  After everyone had retreated, Zhao Ziyang cautiously stared at the guardian in front of him and slowly crawled backwards, completing the final retreat.

  Bang! Bang! ……

  Just as Zhao Ziyang was about to complete the withdrawal, a dense gunfire suddenly came from behind, and then, the Blade and others who had just retreated to the back quickly crawled over, hiding in the rock shelter on the mountain head.

  "Damn it! A group of guardians is coming from behind, we're surrounded!" Blade's voice was urgent and exasperated, spitting a mouthful of saliva on the ground.

  "How many people?" Zhao Ziyang hastily asked.

  "A small squad, seven people!" Swarte says, turning around.

  Seven people!

  Zhao Ziyang felt his heart suddenly thumping, and he immediately realized that these seven people were the elite of the defenders, but how did they appear in the rear?

  "General, Huntsman, Jesus, Vampire, Ice Angel..." The scythe-wielding man let out a bitter voice as he clearly saw the seven Guardian mercenaries appearing behind him.

  Upon hearing these names, Zhao Ziyang's pupils directly turned into pinpricks. Colonel is the leader of the Guardians, Hunter had a run-in with Fogel Island last time, Mu Anqier and Mandala couldn't even keep him back, Jesus is the Guardian's number one sniper, Vampire and Ice Angel are also strong enemies on the same level as them.

  The real focus is after the body, if entangled by them, there is only one dead end, they are only five people, and five people can't complete the confrontation.

  But now it's not possible to resist at all, they are sandwiched in the middle, the Norwegian army will appear soon from the south, and once they face the tide of the Norwegian army, they can't even hold on for five minutes.

  "How could the guardians appear behind us?" Zhao Ziyang muttered to himself in a questioning tone, but no one gave him any answer.

  "Angel! Angel, I need a helicopter, I need a helicopter!" Zhao Ziyang shouted loudly into the wireless radio to call out to Angel, but there was no response.

  "Damn it!" Zhao Ziyang let out a loud curse and threw the wireless radio back onto the ground.

  The area is experiencing electromagnetic interference, all wireless communication has been completely disrupted and I am unable to contact Angel.

  "Blade, Swort, Scythe, take cover behind the ridge and snipe at Colonel's troops! Omo, set up the machine gun and prepare to concentrate firepower!" Zhao Ziyang let out a loud roar, and with one swift motion, he opened a box under his feet, pulled out a terrifying sniper rifle, and mounted it on the mountain head.

  This is a 25 mm caliber XM109 sniper rifle, which was developed due to the lack of power in some tasks of the 12.7 mm caliber sniper rifle. The barrel is 447 mm long, the overall length is 1168 mm, and the weight is approximately 20.9 kg, equipped with a 5-round magazine.

  The ammunition used is the 25mm high-pressure grenade developed by the XM307 automatic grenade launcher, which should be classified as a grenade launcher. This is an improved grenade launching weapon, and when it is used on a sniper rifle, the power displayed is unimaginable.

  Equipped with the Barrett Optical Ranging System, it collects data such as atmospheric pressure, temperature and weapon angle related to target measurement and correction, processes and calculates them, and improves the accuracy of hitting the target with the first bullet. After accurately calculating the impact point of the first shot, all the shooter needs to do is use the elevation knob to aim at the target at long range, select the ammunition type, and align the crosshairs on the target.

  The 25mm ammunition is specifically designed to penetrate a 50mm armor steel plate, and the unique high-explosive ammunition has 2.5 times more power than the Barrett M82A1.

  This XM109 is the latest research result of Remington Company, and Pandora participated in the whole process. This gun was made by Pandora himself, its power far exceeds the test version of Remington Company, which can't be seen on the market at all.

  With a "click", Zhao Ziyang pulled the trigger, his right eye lightly pressed against the scope, using the crosshairs to aim at the mountain rocks where the mercenary bodyguard was hiding, and gently squeezed the trigger.

  A loud "bang" sound, a burst of visible air waves in front of the barrel, a 25mm caliber sniper bullet roared towards that half-person-high rock, ferocious and terrifying.

  At the same time, Zhao Ziyang's body was violently pushed backward by a powerful recoil, and his body, which had been lying on the ground, was lightly lifted up by the recoil before heavily falling back to the ground. His right shoulder socket felt a numbness after a wave of pain under the cannon-like recoil, almost without using any strength.

  Without any protective gear, Zhao Ziyang's physique would allow him to fire at most five shots in a row. After the fifth shot, his entire right arm would become numb and completely lose its motor function.

  In Pandora's pursuit of powerful destructive power, this XM109 sniper rifle is not something that ordinary people can play with. Only someone like Omo with a strong physique can carry such a sniper rifle into battle.

  With a loud "boom", the rock that was hit by the bullet head directly burst into several pieces, revealing the guardian mercenary hidden behind.

  Even hard rocks can't stop the high-explosive capability of the XM109 sniper rifle bullet, while grenades don't have penetration capabilities, and it has not only the high-explosive capability of a grenade but also any gun's penetration capability.

  Bang!

  "Boom!"

  Bang!

  "Boom!"

  Three consecutive shots, the rocks that the guardian relied on to hide were all blown up under the beast-like howl of the XM109, exposing the guardian's figure.

  "Ahhh!" A loud roar came out of Zhao Ziyang's mouth.

  "Waaaah......" "Dadada......"

  The Gatling M134's barrel spun at extreme speed, six barrels spewing out dazzling flames, with 6,000 rounds of high-speed bullets pouring out every minute, filling the entire open space, and brutally drilling into the bodies of the defending mercenaries.

  "Hmm...Hmm...Hmm..."

  As Gatling's violent sweep of fire raked them, the bodies of the Southern defenders were instantly torn apart and crashed to the ground dead.

  "Hahaha, refreshing!" Omo let out a crazy loud laughter, heavily smelling the scent of fresh blood and gunpowder in the air.

  The open space south of Shantou was piled with the remains of the defenders' mercenaries, and blood flowed like a river.

  As the M134 in Ou Mo's hand had just stopped its roar, a large number of fully armed Norwegian soldiers appeared at the mountain pass to the south. These soldiers stared with their blood-red eyes and charged towards the top of the mountain.

  The Norwegian warriors, baptized in death and blood by Anqi'er and Pandora, went mad, the bloody war making them real lunatics.
