Chapter Thirty Ambush
Gradually, the entire camp fell silent, and no one would pay much attention to the life or death of a group of mercenaries. Nine people quietly searched through each tent in a circle, and when they returned, everyone's injector was empty. A silent smile, and everyone picked up their equipment and returned to what was called the enemy ammunition depot again.
Because they didn't understand the firepower deployment inside, everyone could only try to launch a sneak attack. After waiting for two hours, they finally caught a lone patrol soldier.
The wolf-like man pulled out a garrote wire and tightened it around the patrolman's throat, whispering in English, "Tell me where the captive is. Blink when you're ready to talk."
The suffocating taste was unbearable. In less than half a minute, the patrol soldier couldn't help but reveal the location of the captive and the distribution of firepower.
He broke the neck of the patrol soldier, leaving a knife and a star to respond. The remaining wolves and everyone looked at each other and got up to move towards the detention point, where a dozen soldiers were sitting around a bonfire, not far away in the shadows, AK was stripped of all equipment and tied to a large tree, even through the scope could see scars all over his body.
The remaining wolves seemed to be as indifferent as the AK brothers, drew out the military dagger in their hands and compared it with others, and everyone nodded knowingly and moved towards their respective targets. Between 3:00 and 4:00 in the morning is when people are least vigilant. The narrow military dagger silently pierced a sentry's lung, and the opponent struggled to fall down.
The lone wolf wiped his face and lightly tapped the earpiece, the sentry in this area had been cleared. The remaining ones were a dozen or so soldiers dozing off beside the bonfire. The lone wolf estimated the distance from the bonfire to AK brother, then sneered and pulled out a lethal grenade, gesturing to the two medics beside him, Hua Tuo and Rattlesnake nodded in understanding and each pulled out a grenade as well.
As the remaining wolves' left hand changed from a palm to a fist, three grenades were simultaneously and accurately thrown into the bonfire. The intense explosion, mixed with scattered debris and burning charcoal, efficiently took care of the last dozen or so soldiers. Before the blast wave dissipated, Jiyan and Yezi had already discarded their unnecessary equipment and rushed towards AK Brothers. After quickly checking that there were no hidden lethal mines around, the two swung their machetes to cut through the ropes and lifted the unconscious AK Brothers before running in the direction of Daozi.
At this time, other rebels had been awakened. The remaining wolves quickly exchanged the M249 from Chicken Eye and decisively ordered a retreat.
Five people had already disappeared into the dark jungle before the rebels found their shooting target.
At dawn, Team VX finally shook off the pursuing rebels and returned to their base.
In the conference room, Big Beard was yelling angrily.
"What you're doing will expose our position! You actually gave my men anesthesia for the sake of a damn team member! This is a breach of protocol!"
Zanlang felt a bit helpless, having never seen such an unreasonable employer. He sighed and took out the velvet bag, tossing it to Big Beard. The diamonds inside were all there, thanks to AK Brothers not bringing them along due to their bulk, otherwise it would have been even more troublesome.
"Master employer, if you think we're just a bunch of worthless mercenaries, then by all means, go ahead and hire someone else. I'm sure it'll cost you dearly to try and stop us with your current forces. What do you say?" The bearded man's face changed color at Wolf's words. Where can one find mercenaries at this hour?
The big-bearded man immediately returned the bag to Can Lang, "Uh, I was just complaining a bit, hope you don't get angry, our agreement continues." The flattering appearance of the big-bearded man made his subordinates roll their eyes, no wonder there were traitors by his side.
The wolf's helpless shake of the head, canceling the contract was just a joke, mercenaries can't easily cancel once they've taken on a task, it's about their team's credibility.
Taking the diamond that was handed over, Zhan Lang suggested again, "Respected employer, I suggest you check the people around you again, this concerns your success or failure in counterattacking."
The big-bearded man nodded silently. The Lone Wolf reluctantly returned to the tent, it seemed that there would be trouble in the future.
"Head, this won't work either," said Hua Tuo with a bitter face.
"Tonight's secret operation, the ammunition depot has been relocated, so we'll assassinate the rebel leader. Also, we need enough medicine, AK brother's wound is already festering, our own medicine won't last for a few more days." The Lone Wolf reluctantly gave out the combat order.
That night, the remaining wolves tore through the tent, and ten people quietly slipped out.
The tropical rainforests of Africa are not as dense as those in Southeast Asia, but rather scattered in patches. The rebel headquarters is located near another patch of rainforest, with a 15-kilometer-wide African savannah in between the two patches.
Walking on the vast grassland that still retains the scorching heat of the daytime, the African lion's body weighing over a hundred kilograms pounded the ground, emitting a thick and heavy masculine aura. Pairs of green eyes stared at this group of strange outsiders. Zhunxing couldn't help but shudder, quickly quickening his pace to run to the middle of the team.
At 2 am, the VX squad finally arrived at the edge of the jungle. Fortunately, it was now the rainy season, and there were obvious tire tracks on the ground, so everyone carefully made their way to the rebel base.
Row upon row of simple houses surrounded a dilapidated church, and although it was already dawn, there were still many soldiers patrolling around on high alert. In comparison, the place with the big beard was like a kindergarten.
Pliers looked at the opponent's formation with difficulty, "Boss, this job is not easy to do. We don't have heavy weapons and it's hard to break through their defense."
"No rush, our main task is the enemy's field hospital. As long as we have enough medicine, we're not afraid." Zan Lang said in a low voice.
Saying they're not in a hurry, but the Lone Wolf is more anxious than anyone else. The other side's defense is too tight. The field hospital and church are right next to each other in the center, making it hard to get in. But AK brother's injury can't wait any longer, for the first time, the Lone Wolf feels the pressure of being a captain.
"Like this, the chicken eye takes the assault hand to go north and feign an attack to attract firepower. The knife stays here ready to take out the mission target at any time. The pliers and I will sneak in to find medicine. Action! For now, it can only be like this, the pliers reluctantly follow the remnants of the wolf pack to find an opportunity to infiltrate."
Ten minutes later, three mortar shells whizzed in and destroyed a simple house. Suddenly the entire base was on high alert, and another three mortar shells flew in, shrapnel scattering everywhere and injuring rebel soldiers around the impact zone.
A group of soldiers quickly brought over a stretcher and carried the wounded up. The wolf and pliers exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and rushed towards the wounded. Fortunately, at this time, the third wave of artillery shells destroyed the diesel generator set, otherwise the bright searchlight would have easily exposed the two.
Following the stretcher in front, the two of them slipped smoothly into the field hospital. The so-called field hospital was actually just two large tents side by side, with two military doctors performing surgery on wounded soldiers inside. The only three nurses were also assisting the surgery with flashlights, and no one noticed the sneaking in of the two half-grown children.
Zan Lang quickly felt behind the box where the medicine was placed and picked out the useful medicine, while Qian Zi took advantage of no one's attention to stuff a timed bomb into the medicine box.
Before long, both of them had completed their respective tasks. The two brothers smiled slyly and slipped away secretly, at this time the entire base had restored order, with troops rushing to reinforce in batches.
The remaining wolves were still not satisfied with the chaos, and they took advantage of the darkness to throw out two more offensive grenades. In the rebel base where there was no lighting facilities, no one noticed the small movements of the two people.
After the grenade exploded, another burst was triggered. Some soldiers even thought that the enemy had already launched an attack and raised their AK-47s to start firing wildly, fully demonstrating the African characteristic of holding guns.
Carrying a large package of medicine, Lang Shuang successfully converged with the dagger hiding in the dark. "Has the target appeared?" asked Qianzi in a low voice.
"He appeared, but missed his aim, and the bullet hit him in the shoulder..."
The knife's words were not yet finished, the war hospital in the sniper scope suddenly exploded, and the rising flames illuminated half of the base. The knife also took advantage of the situation to fire a armor-piercing incendiary shell at the stacked oil barrels.
"Confirming target personnel casualties, they were killed by your bombing." Daozi said gloomily.
The remaining wolves have already sent a retreat message to the chicken eyes, and the three of them quickly divided the medicine in their bags and retreated. For the time being, there is no need to worry about the rebel army catching up while cleaning up the mess, so everyone doesn't rush either.
Halfway through the gathering, they reported their losses one by one. Except for the Rattlesnake being grazed on the shoulder by a flying bullet fragment, everyone else was safe and sound. This mission finally came to a relatively perfect temporary end.
