I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar.

Chapter 612 The battle has just begun

Nearly 30 people were guarding a building located meters above sea level with numerous bunkers, strong protection, and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

11 people, to take down this building.

No matter how you think about it, this is an almost unsolvable problem, but in fact, the moment they retreated into the building, Chen Chen knew that he had won.

Because it was obvious that the other party just wanted to use this building to delay time.

They wanted to wait for further support, and did not want to risk their lives with the Dongfeng Corps, let alone their own safety.

This means that one's goal has actively narrowed the scope of one's choices, just like a wild beast that is forced into a corner and dives into a dark cave.

Although it seems foolproof, hunters would never dare to enter the cave at will.

However, it also lost the opportunity to fight hard.

While the enemy's firepower network covered the entire camp and blocked all of the Dongfeng Corps' entry routes, the Dongfeng Corps' dispersed firepower points also began to examine the enemy's possible shooting positions.

On the snow, with the help of anti-infrared shielding clothing, the Dongfeng Corps' thermal signature was still controlled at a relatively low level. At first glance, the thermal signature of the friendly forces was not even as obvious as the enemy's thermal signature that flashed by the hotel window.

The principle is very simple, in one word, temperature difference.

The reason why all thermal imagers can form images is due to temperature difference.

After adjusting the temperature difference range, the enemy target who had just entered the house from outside became extremely obvious. On the contrary, the Dongfeng Corps, which had always stayed outdoors, had its camouflage temperature outside its body reduced to almost the same level as the ambient temperature when fully covered.

This gave the Dongfeng Corps a slight advantage, and after the first round of smoke bombs were thrown, the advantage continued to expand.

The modified explosive smoke bomb generates a lot of heat while emitting smoke. After the smoke spreads, the enemy's thermal imaging parameters are completely disrupted. The Dongfeng Corps, relying on its advantage in vision, begins to accurately hunt down the enemy who is maneuvering to occupy shooting positions.

"Sniper in the third window on the right!"

"Machine gun behind the tent at the main entrance to the camp!"

"Machine gun behind the bunker to the right of the main gate!"

Commands from drone pilots kept coming through the headphones. After the delivery was completed, the reserved second batch of drones had taken off and arrived at the combat position, and began to provide vision for the Dongfeng Corps.

Li Bang, holding a grenade launcher, fired six grenades in succession. The sound of explosions came from inside the hotel, mixed with exclamations and curses.

Chen Chen calmly aimed at the slightly weak position below the window, and then fired bullets accurately at the brick wall one by one.

"Bang bang bang bang -"

Rhythmic gunshots rang out, and the brick wall was pierced. Then, an enemy quickly stood up from the window and tried to move. At the moment his position was exposed, the Dongfeng Corps sniper who had already locked onto him fired a 109mm armor-piercing grenade with the XM25 in his hand.

"boom!"

The grenade exploded instantly after penetrating the masonry. The sniper simply opened his mouth to confirm and then moved on to other targets.

Constantly maneuvering, moving, and hunting.

In just a few minutes, the enemy's attempt to establish an outer defense line was completely thwarted.

They left behind at least five bodies and then retreated back into the hotel, intending to continue to hold the compound relying on its complex internal structure.

Chen Chen was breathing heavily. He had changed his shooting position three times in a row. In the oxygen-deficient environment, he even felt a little dizzy.

But fortunately, 3000 meters above sea level is not 4000 meters after all. After calming down for a while, his condition recovered.

But now there is nothing for him to hit.

"The enemy has all retreated into the hotel."

"Perimeter control established, preparing to enter the hotel."

"Assaulters, prepare to receive equipment."

"receive."

"receive."

The drone commander's voice came again from the rear, and then, having completed a round of supply, the drone quickly delivered several sets of equipment simply tied with quick-release buckles to the assaulters who were preparing to enter the bunker.

"boom!"

A huge crash sounded on the snowy mountain, and then several tongues of fire suddenly pounced on the drone in the air.

The enemy machine gunner, who was in a favorable position, accurately captured the slow-flying drone and shot it down in just a few seconds.

The drone crashed to the ground with smoke coming out of it, and huge fires broke out after the fuel leaked. Even snow and water could not put it out.

Chen Chen continued to be on guard, and two minutes later, he heard Li Bang's voice in his headphones.

"Prepare to enter, follow the sinking ship!"

"Roger that!"

Chen Chen turned over and stood up. Less than 30 meters to his right, Li Bang had already put on a full set of equipment and was rushing towards the hotel about 150 meters below at a "slow" speed.

His body was extremely bloated, and he was holding an arm shield in his hand.

The huge weight made every step he took extremely difficult. In order to avoid being dragged down by the snow, he could only choose to move forward on exposed rocks.

In an instant, enemy fire poured down from inside the hotel.

Chen Chen raised his gun and fought back. The advantage of the heavy-barrel MG36 was fully revealed at this moment. Under the intensive counterattacks from the two firepower points, the enemy's limited shooting positions were suppressed once again.

"Forward! Forward! Forward!"

Chen Chen shouted orders, and Li Bang hurried forward, almost crawling towards the side and rear of the hotel.

Chen Chen followed closely behind, and the distance of 150 meters, even on the snowy mountain, only took him one minute at most.

The two men successfully reached the side of the hotel building, and at this time, the firing point above their heads had completely lost its range.

This is a temporary safety zone.

Chen Chen took two deep breaths, and Li Bang handed his oxygen mask to Chen Chen who took two deep breaths. The high concentration of oxygen made Chen Chen instantly sober. Then, he patted Li Bang on the shoulder, and the two of them began to move towards the main entrance of the hotel, one after the other.

At the same time, in addition to the outer fire support team, the other two two-man assault teams were also ready.

The three groups gathered at the main entrance of the hotel, and then Chen Chen gave the order:

"Control hall, find the load-bearing structure!"

"Demolition man, get ready to synch up and start blasting immediately after entering!"

The Demoman immediately understood what Chen Chen meant.

He didn't really want to have a CQB fight with those special forces, he just wanted to get into the building and blow this thing up from the inside out!
"Roger that!"

After a brief reply, the demolitionist of the third assault team immediately took out a grenade.

He carried the most grenades in the entire team. In the air-dropped blasting equipment package, there were a total of 12 tandem grenades of "unknown model".

These modularly designed grenades were quickly combined into three long blasting tubes. Everything was ready. Chen Chen made a prompt decision and threw a defensive grenade directly into the house without thinking twice.

The same happened to the team members on the front right side. At the moment the defensive grenade was launched, three heavily armed assaulters, including Li Bang, stepped directly into the door by the explosion.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After three huge explosions, intensive gunfire rang out.

Chen Chen then threw a stun grenade, and then quickly flashed into the gate following the rolling stun grenade.

At this time, the three assaulters had been hit from at least four directions at the same time. However, under the protection of the "super heavy" and even heavy protection that was almost as heavy as the explosion-proof suit, they withstood the first round of attacks and cleared out the enemies in the dangerous corner.

Stepping slightly to the left, the second breakthrough player following behind found his shooting position.

The enemy who was shooting with a gun at the back of the hall was shot in the head by Chen Chen's long burst of fire.

"Keep cover! Control the passage!"

"Received, control channel!"

"We need to continue to move forward and clean up. There are not enough bearing points that can be destroyed!"

"Understood. Continue to advance to the rear."

Chen Chen tilted the gun and quickly replaced the drum magazine. In fact, this was also his last drum magazine.

The next wave of airdrops is on the way, but in order to get supplies, they must withdraw from the building and abandon the positions they have already gained.

Therefore, the best solution is to find a second destructible structure in the next round of assault and try to take down the hotel with one attack.

To be precise, it collapsed.

Two heavily-armored assaulters searched forward along the corridor, while Chen Chen and the second vanguard of the second team followed closely behind, using the assaulters' bodies as cover and providing them with fire support.

After taking only two steps, two grenades were thrown simultaneously from behind the assaulter and landed at the end of the corridor less than 15 meters in front of them.

"boom!"

The explosion in the enclosed environment caused intense sound pressure, and Chen Chen's ears were buzzing, but Li Bang continued to advance in the aftermath of the explosion as if nothing had happened.

At this time, the enemy also threw grenades into the corridor, but due to the angle, the grenades could not be thrown into the corridor at all, and instead became a cover for the assault team's attack.

"Found Hall No. 2!"

Gunshots were heard in front, and Li Bang, who had already crossed the corridor, retreated again.

"Three, a rifle in the left corner and two machine guns on the right!"

"Roger that!"

Chen Chen held a stun grenade that had been prepared long ago in his left hand and threw it directly at the wall at the end of the corridor.

At the same time, the second vanguard of the assault team advancing from the left side of the corridor took a step to the right at almost the same speed and threw an offensive grenade.

"Enter!"

Two heavily-armored assaulters stepped forward. The enemy's resistance inside was quite stubborn. They were firing directly at the explosions of stun grenades and grenades.

The dense machine gun fire knocked the two assaulters to the ground in an instant, and their bodies fell heavily to the ground as if they were blown down by a strong wind.

The arm shield saved their lives, and the large-caliber 7.62mm bullets could not penetrate the bulletproof vests with double layers of new inserts.

But this is only temporary.

Because the moment they fall to the ground, all their weaknesses will be exposed, and as long as the firepower can be connected, these two people will die no matter what.

But Chen Chen would not give them the chance to continue their firepower.

He and the second group's scouts moved sideways, he was responsible for one person on the left, while the other was responsible for the high ground on the right.

The two people's tactical choices were completely different. Chen Chen dodged and immediately looked for the target, aiming and preparing for precise shooting.

The second group of scouts began to splash water the moment they dodged, raising the angle to suppress the two machine gunners.

"Bang! Boom!"

After three bullets, the enemy in the dangerous corner on the left was accurately shot through the head, while Chen Chen continued to lower his body and pass through the scout's shooting range, creating time for him to reload.

At the same time, Li Bang and another heavy assaulter had stood up.

It was obvious that they were both injured.

But fortunately, their protection was strong enough and their injuries were not serious enough to affect further actions.

At this time, the enemy troops who were completely suppressed on the stairs above Hall No. 2 were already confused.

They huddled behind a marble countertop and radioed for support from friendly forces scattered throughout the hotel.

But even though they were only a few rooms away, the support did not arrive that quickly, and the suppression they were under did not weaken in the slightest!

What the hell is this tactic! ?

Infantry-tank coordination? !
Infantry-tank coordination at the corner of the stairs?!
They wanted to get up and fight back, but after losing their shooting position, it was impossible for them to get it back in a short time without the help of other friendly forces.

The gunfire never stopped, and the demolition team's blaster finally found the second blasting location.

He casually attached the assembled tandem grenade to the pillar, and then immediately shouted to evacuate.

Chen Chen had used up all his bullets, and he didn't even bring a pistol with him on this operation.

However, there is no need to consider continuing the fight now.

The assaulter of the third assault group had already set up his gun and established a fire support point on the route. The five people who were evacuated ran past him. Two members of the fire support group arrived at the door at the same time and began to take over the cover.

"boom--"

A huge explosion sounded, and the innermost grenade exploded first.

Immediately afterwards, the tandem grenades tied to the two load-bearing columns in the hall exploded one after another.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Chen Chen didn't even look back. He quickly ran towards the fire support team member, took the remaining drum from his waist, and then ordered:
"All thrown objects are thrown!"

"Alternately cover the retreat and hide!"

"Assaulters take off their equipment!"

"understand!"

Everyone's movements sped up again. Within half a minute, Chen Chen had used up all the magazines in his hand, and the entire team retreated to the shelter outside the camp.

Snipers high up and far away were still suppressing the enemy intermittently, but their suppression did not last long.

Because soon, the hotel, which suffered structural damage, finally could not hold on.

When this hotel was first built, it was designed to avoid the danger of avalanches, but it could not withstand the severe bombing by the Dongfeng Corps.

The huge explosion finally triggered a "small" avalanche. The thickest snow in early February collapsed towards the hotel, rolled down, and stopped after hitting the outer wall of the hotel.

This was the straw that broke the camel's back.

The balance was disturbed and the hotel collapsed sideways.
-
It wasn't razed to the ground.

But enough is enough.

"Retreat lightly!"

Chen Chen gave the order again, and everyone immediately abandoned all their equipment and began to evacuate.

One by one, the white shadows disappeared on the snowy plain, but Chen Chen knew very well that after the first round of attack, their battle had actually just begun.
