Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 405 Leading Soldiers
Although Song Heping was trying to appease the already impatient disaster star, he himself suddenly became worried.

Regardless of whether they were from the militia or the White Face Group, these guys had one advantage over outsiders like us - they had been walking on this road for years and were as familiar with every tree and blade of grass here as their own bodies. Any slight change on the roadside would make them notice something unusual.

This is like animal instinct. When danger is nearby, even if you can't see it with your naked eyes, you will be intuitively alert.

The two scouts hid in the bushes for a long time without showing up, giving people the feeling that "you have been discovered."

Song Heping decided to keep calm.

But now I can't move anymore.

If you move, you will definitely not escape the sharp eyes of these two scouts.

"Hold your horses, and don't shoot without my order."

Under Song Heping's command, everyone held their breath and remained motionless. Only the occasional chirping of unknown birds and animals around them could be heard, which sounded quite creepy.

Da da da--

Da da da--

After more than ten minutes of silence, gunshots suddenly rang out near the fork in the road.

The two scouts suddenly raised their guns and fired at the front.

The bullets whizzed through the night sky, and Song Heping and others were startled.

Seeing this, the disaster star was about to pull the trigger and fight back.

Song Heping reached out to stop the disaster star and warned in the channel: "Don't shoot! They are testing us!"

Sure enough, after firing several bursts of bullets, the two scouts stopped shooting, came out from behind a tree on the roadside, stood there for a moment, then turned around and left, about to disappear from everyone's sight.

Gray Wolf whispered in the channel: "They're about to run out of range!"

Song Heping said calmly: "Let them go, they will definitely come back later."

Then he gave the order to the others again: "Remember this, don't shoot without my order."

"I can kill them with just one burst of fire!"

Disaster Star was full of complaints and forced himself to suppress the urge to shoot the two scouts.

Not long after, the two guys disappeared.

Silence returned to the mountain road once again. No one knew if the tactical team's disguise had been seen through, but the two men in black ran away and never appeared again.

The entire three-way intersection was eerily quiet...

Every team member's heart was hanging in the air at this moment.

"Boss, have we really been discovered? If so, we should retreat, otherwise we'll be surrounded..."

After a long silence, the hunter raised his concerns.

"Believe me, they didn't see us."

Song Heping still did not give the order to retreat.

Suddenly, the gray wolf on the northwest mountainside issued a warning: "Hunter, there is a sniper on the hill in front of you on the left, at the 10 o'clock position!"

The hunter was shocked when he heard this. He slowly adjusted the muzzle of his gun and looked over there through the scope.

There are only bushes and grass in sight, so where can we find the sniper?

Did the gray wolf see it wrong?

Or is the other party hiding it too well?
His scalp was numb.

Although I have good marksmanship, when it comes to actual sniper confrontation, accurate marksmanship is not the only decisive factor. There are also factors such as camouflage, location selection, lurking, infiltration, etc.

The ethnic armed groups and government forces in Myanmar have been fighting for many years. They have a lot of practical experience and are very familiar with the terrain here. Could there really be an expert here?
He couldn't help but ask, "Where is the sniper? Why can't I see him?"

Gray Wolf said, "There's a bush under that crooked tree, thirty meters to the right. The sniper must be there."

The hunter peered into the bushes but saw nothing unusual. "I don't see anything..."

The gray wolf continued, "I just saw a bird fly to that tree. Before it landed, it quickly took off again. It must have seen someone and flew away."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hunter immediately aimed the scope at the location the gray wolf mentioned and stared at it intently.

After a long time, the shadow of the bush next to the tree trembled slightly...

It was just a very slight tremor, perhaps caused by the sniper touching a branch when turning the muzzle of the gun.

Ordinary people cannot detect any changes at all, but in front of an experienced sniper like Hunter, just a slight tremor is enough.

He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

There really is someone here!

Come and join us!
The sniper was only 400 meters away from him. At this distance, it was almost certain that he would be killed by a sniper rifle.

The reason why the other party didn't take action was probably because he didn't notice me either.

It seems that there is indeed a large force behind the scouts, and they must have realized that this is a very good ambush point, so after the scouts left, they sent snipers to sneak up and set up a sniper point on a nearby hill, waiting to cover the large force.

If Gray Wolf hadn't reminded me, once the fight started and I fired the gun, the other party would have discovered me quickly, and I would have died without knowing how I died!

"Gray Wolf, I owe you a favor."

He took a deep breath to calm his pounding heart, then slowly moved the muzzle of the gun and carefully aimed at the other party.

As soon as a fight breaks out, I must kill the opponent as soon as possible.

A sniper's worst enemy is another sniper.

However, this made everyone feel much more at ease than before.

First of all, since the other party has sent out a sniper, it means that there is indeed a large force behind them.

Secondly, the other party did not open fire, which also showed that they had not found any clues at all and had no idea that someone was ambushing here. They only sent scouts and snipers out of caution.

The reason why the scouts retreated in a hurry just now was just intentional, they wanted to lure the snake out of its hole. If we had shot at them at that time, we would have fallen into the trap.

After all, they will definitely pass by here, so just wait patiently.

A few minutes later, lights suddenly appeared in the distance.

On the dirt road, several trucks were rumbling and bumping towards this side.

"The big fish is here, so cheer up and get ready to fish."

Song Heping began to count the car lights.

One, two, three, four, five...

"At least a company's worth of troops. Remember, kill as many as you can, and then retreat upon my command!"

My prediction was correct!
Song Heping sneered, the murderous intent in his heart surged, and a smell of blood seemed to penetrate his nostrils.

The Gray Wolf team closest to the convoy began reporting on the channel: "Five vehicles, estimated strength over a hundred men, they are entering the ambush."

Song Heping gave orders calmly, "Let them in! Their cars can't get through this section of the mountain road. They must get off at the fork in the road. Everyone else, wait until they step on a mine and immediately start shooting. Send them to hell. Hunter, you're responsible for dealing with the sniper. Don't give him a chance to shoot at us!"

"clear."

"clear."

After giving the order, he took out a fuel-air explosive rocket launcher from the backpack of the disaster star. This is a new type of individual rocket launcher. The main body is made of fiberglass, which is very light and disposable. It can be thrown away after use. It does not occupy a position in the infantry company. It has a range of 300 meters and can fire different types of ammunition such as armor-piercing bombs and fuel-air explosive bombs. It is a powerful weapon for individual soldiers to deal with clustered targets and armored targets.

Song Heping deftly opened the safety and seal of the rocket launcher and adjusted it to the firing state.

Just after making these preparations, we saw the truck convoy stopped at the three-way intersection. A large number of armed soldiers jumped out of the vehicles. Three of them formed a standard front triangle formation and led the way along the mountain road.

Two of them were the two scouts who had come before!
　Asking for a monthly ticket!
