Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 613 Enemies in the Shadows
"Do you see it?"

On the mountain near the pass, Song Heping had already set up the M24 sniper rifle.

He has been lying here for a full hour.

It was already three o'clock in the morning.

Midnight is the time when the human body is most tired.

A full hour passed before he finally saw a little movement on the camera.

A little red spot suddenly appeared in the night vision goggles.

It was this tiny red spot that made him interested in a stone 400 meters away.

That's the red spot in the night vision goggles that's produced when infrared radiation is released.

"That's a sniper, at the 10 o'clock position, halfway up the mountain."

He whispered, keeping his crosshairs firmly on the other person.

But this is not the time to shoot, after all, there is only one enemy in sight.

I don’t know how many people are left on the other side.

"I saw it."

Willy searched according to Song Heping's directions, and indeed saw the enemy hiding on the mountainside with the reconnaissance device.

The observation effect of his reconnaissance device is better than Song Heping's scope and night vision device, and it can be seen more clearly after adjusting the focus.

“What a master.”

After careful observation, Willy issued a reminder.

"Yes, that was just a perimeter guard post." Song Heping had to admit: "If he hadn't moved just now, I wouldn't have noticed him."

As he spoke, his eyes looked towards the endless darkness ahead.

Who knows how many enemies are hiding there.

"The equipment is excellent, too." Willy concluded, "The ghillie suit he's wearing is state-of-the-art. Otherwise, it wouldn't have such a good isolation effect, fooling our night vision equipment."

Song Heping tilted his head slightly and looked at Willy: "What level of tactical team do you think has this kind of equipment?"

Willy was stunned.

His lips moved.

I wanted to answer, but I didn't want to.

Because that further confirmed Song Heping's previous guess that the enemy coming to deal with him this time might not be an ordinary military personnel.

Ordinary military personnel, or Ata's pursuit forces, and those border smugglers, could not have such advanced equipment.

The price of a ghillie suit with excellent isolation effect that can deceive infrared night vision goggles in the dark is not affordable for ordinary people, and you can't even buy it if you have money.

In this case, it is very likely that these people are from the US special forces.

"Why? Didn't you expect that? It's probably your comrade."

Song Heping couldn't help but start the mocking mode again.

“Don’t overestimate the morality of your superiors, and don’t underestimate the meanness of politicians.”

"Let's keep waiting..."

Willy was no longer willing to talk.

The two of them quietly fell into silence, as silent as the stones on the mountain.

The night remained dark, and both groups were hiding in the shadows.

Now it's a test of endurance, just like whoever blinks first loses.

On the mountain near the pass, radio waves are transmitted to each other at four points in different directions.

"It's three o'clock..."

Suddenly, a team member's question was heard on the radio channel.

"Boss, is the route we got wrong? Are they not going to take this route at all?"

“There’s no problem with the route.”

A hoarse duck voice soon came from the channel, speaking authentic American English.

"They reported their route and wouldn't have misreported it. After all, after entering Afghanistan, they'd need support troops to take them back to Kandahar. If they had falsely reported their location and route, it would have affected the entire operation plan and would not be in line with operational principles."

"But we've been waiting here for four hours. Based on their speed, they should have arrived an hour ago..."

"Maybe something else has happened... Let's wait a little longer."

The conversation ended, and the area near the pass fell into silence again.

A long-tailed minke flew over and landed on a rock at the ambush site.

After looking around, it seemed to smell the scent of murder in the air and felt threatened, so it flapped its wings and quickly fled from this ghost place.

It was four in the morning, and although it was still dark, it was almost dawn.

In that mysterious channel, the conversation started again.

"It looks like something went wrong."

"Yes, something seems to be wrong."

"Teams 2 and 3 also set up pockets in various locations nearby, but they didn't notice it either."

"Did they put on wings and fly back?"

"Impossible, the people over there said they haven't come back yet."

"Something's wrong..."

"It's almost daybreak, Boss. It won't be safe here when it's daybreak."

The channel fell silent again.

The man called "the boss" seemed to be thinking about what to do next.

After all, he never thought this would happen.

The target never appeared.

Their three teams of nine people set up defenses at different locations. Although they had accurate intelligence on the retreat route of the two-person team, the commander still bought himself a backup plan and deployed a team at the other two most likely locations to block the enemy.

Now all three teams have failed.

It's almost dawn, and there's no one in sight. This is weird!
An ominous feeling arose in the commander's heart.

"Call each team and hear the answer."

"Team 2 received it."

"Team 3 received it."

"Something's changed. We might be in trouble, or our target might be in trouble. We can't just sit here and wait any longer. We need to proactively search back. From now on, according to the three routes I estimated, each of our three teams will be responsible for one, searching back to last night's exchange of fire. If they haven't left Pakistan yet, we should be able to encounter them."

"clear."

"clear."

"Then let's act. Whichever team spots the target first will send a message immediately. The other teams will rush to support as quickly as possible. The search area is not large, so we should be able to close it in quickly. They can't escape unless they really have wings."

call ended.

Song Heping kept staring at the alert sentry.

His eyelids were heavy.

The extreme physical exhaustion last night and the continuous marching and surveillance today have made him exhausted.

After eating several refreshing chocolates, I finally managed to hold on and not fall asleep.

But at four o'clock, I suddenly became energetic again.

The human body is so strange. Just like when we were doing the high-intensity sprint march in 203, I felt very uncomfortable in the first ten kilometers, but I felt more energetic as time went on.

Just as he opened his mouth to yawn and cheer himself up, he suddenly saw the guard sentry he was targeting in the scope move, and the infrared heat source spot appeared in the camera again.

This time, the sentry finally did not just move and then immediately return to silence, but stood up completely.

Suddenly, a glowing human figure appeared in the night vision goggles, which immediately made Song Heping alert.

Song Heping said: "The sentries have moved, they are going to retreat!"

Willy said, "Just as you guessed, they didn't have the patience to wait until daybreak."

"There's no point waiting until daybreak. We have the initiative. When we discovered them, we had a good start in the game," Song Heping said. "Now we have to see who they are, how many people there are, and what methods we use to kill them."

"Well, I'm also interested to know which special forces unit would be sent to kill a high-ranking ISA operative, Delta or Team Six."

Song Heping's sight began to move slowly, scanning the front.

He was in no hurry to lock onto the sentinel now.

After all, you can't shoot randomly before you figure out the other party's situation.

Five minutes later, more and more infrared heat sources appeared in the camera.

"1..."

"2..."

"3..."

"4..."

……

Keep counting to 9.

9 enemies.

"It's a medium-sized tactical unit," Willy said. "They think highly of us, sending nine top-tier special forces soldiers to kill us."

"Willy, what would you do if your superior really wanted to kill you?"

Song Heping never asked Willy this question.

If so, and he killed these people.

What about the ending?
The question was obviously difficult, and Willy felt a little confused.

"Don't be distracted at this time. Save your life first. I haven't considered this matter yet."

Song Heping smiled and said, "If it were me, I would go back in a swagger, because that is the safest way."

Willy was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't.

Soon, the 9-member team began to gather. They cooperated with each other very well and immediately formed four groups when they walked together.

The first group in front consists of 3 people, the vanguard group.

Song Heping knew without even looking that at least two of the three men were machine gunners, holding light machine guns.

Because when the squad is marching, light machine gunners are often arranged in the front. Once an emergency occurs and they encounter the enemy, the light machine gunners can use their firepower advantage to suppress the enemy as quickly as possible, and then let the squad leader decide whether to engage in a firefight or adopt a hellfire-style escape tactic.

Two light machine gunners can achieve the best suppression effect.

Several groups were separated by about 30 meters and used a "/" formation to search forward.

This formation has a larger search range than a straight line, and they walk on a high ground so that they can find the target at the first time.

"I'll take out the sniper. Can you quickly take out the two machine gunners in front of the squad at a distance of 300-400 meters?"

Seeing that the other party had entered the attack range, Song Heping decided to take action.

After all, there is no way to avoid it.

The mountain roads here are very narrow, and in many places there is only one direction to go.

Even if Willy and I disguised ourselves better to avoid being discovered, the footprints on the ground could not deceive anyone.

I can see the other person's footprints, and the other person is not stupid either, so he will definitely be able to find them as well.

Once they discovered their own and Willy's military boot prints, they would probably become alert and take the initiative.

In this case, it is better to strike first.

"No problem. I have an assault rifle, and I can still kill 2-3 people at the same time with bursts of fire. I'll take care of the vanguard group up front, and you go take out the sniper."

The biggest threat to snipers is snipers.

Song Heping is the main sniper in the duo. Of course, he cannot let the opponent's sniper live. Even the opponent's commander is only worthy of being ranked second.

bah—

Just as the enemy squad entered a relatively open area with relatively few concealments, Song Heping aimed at the guy holding a sniper rifle in the squad without hesitation and pulled the trigger.
