I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar - #435 - Chapter 427 Assassin
“They actually went to the airport.”
“Nonsense, where else can they go if not to the airport?”
In the garbage pool, Cheng Lei endured the unpleasant smell and carefully moved his slightly stiff arms. He looked out through the gaps in the garbage and answered casually.
Next to him was Zhang Qian, who was injured in the waist when the helicopter crashed. At this time, his originally white face had completely lost all color, but his spirit was still active.
Listening to the sound of gunfire from a distance, and looking at the Kachin militiamen who occasionally flashed past the end of his sight, Zhang Qian sighed involuntarily, and then continued to ask in a low voice:
“Do you think they really have a chance?”
“Two people attacked an airport and captured the commander in chief?”
“Even if most of the airport’s defense personnel have been deployed, there are still at least dozens of people there.”
“Chen Chen and Lin He only have two MP5-Ks and a few grenades in their hands. How are they going to get in?”
“How do I know? When they come back, you can ask him directly.”
Cheng Lei moved his leg, which had begun to ache after the painkillers wore off, and then said:
“Instead of worrying about them, we should worry about whether support can arrive in time.”
“The Wa State has always been unreliable, otherwise the leader would not have used the Dongfeng Corps.”
“Chen Chen said that a seaplane will come, but the reliability of this thing on the battlefield is too poor.”
“In the final analysis, our victory lies with Chen Chen.”
“If he really catches a big fish, then we have no worries at all.”
“If he can’t catch him, even if support comes, we will still have a battle to fight.”
“Don’t think too much. We are all wounded. The wounded can only watch.”
Hearing Cheng Lei’s words, Zhang Qian sighed softly and replied:
“Yeah, I can only watch.”
“But I actually can’t figure it out. Is it really worth it for Chen Chen to do this?”
“They have already left Mogang. Theoretically, as long as they walk through the jungle and return to Taiping Village, they can escape and ascend to heaven without caring about our life or death.”
“He is a mercenary. To him, everyone should be just expendable.”
“Now that he’s fighting like this, it makes me feel a little bit…seriously, isn’t this asking for death?”
“If he was really a mercenary, this attack would never have happened.”
Cheng Lei interrupted Zhang Qian and continued:
“He is not going to die, he is risking his life to keep us alive.”
“Stop talking nonsense here, we have to find a way to do something.”
“Those who can move have a way of playing that they can move, and those who can’t move have a way of playing that they can’t move.”
“You stay here and are responsible for monitoring communications and keeping in touch with support.”
“I want to go out and take a look.”
“Our planes are coming. The terrain here is too complex and they need ground guidance.”
“Does your leg work?”
Zhang Qian asked subconsciously.
“It’s okay to just make do, that’s not impossible.”
“Small injury, I can walk.”
As he spoke, Cheng Lei carefully dug out the garbage pool.
Then, he straightened his clothes a little and limped away.
His figure finally disappeared at the door of a residential building. At this time, Zhang Qian had already turned on his mobile phone and broadcast the number that Chen Chen gave them.
On the other side, inside the airport headquarters.
The white man who had predicted the Dongfeng Corps’ offensive looked helplessly at the P51 that had been burned to blackened remains on the runway. He shook his head and said to the Kachin commander beside him:
“Our actions are still a step too slow.”
“If the decision to relocate and evacuate could have been made two hours in advance, today’s heavy losses would never have occurred.”
“But it’s no one’s fault.”
“I don’t blame you, and I don’t blame you either.”
“I really didn’t expect that the Dongfeng Corps would continue to organize such a high-risk operation after fighting DEVGRU and suffering heavy losses.”
“I underestimated their determination and I underestimated their ambition.”
“Of course, I also underestimated the involvement of those Northerners in this war.”
“They actually detected the location of our airport in such a short period of time. It is obvious that whether it is radar technology or satellite technology, they have undergone earth-shaking changes from the country we know.”
“Well, it’s too late to say anything now. Everything that should have happened and what shouldn’t have happened has happened. We can only swallow this bitter pill.”
“Be prepared to evacuate, this airport can no longer be used.”
“Those rats in the city will eventually be caught, and we won’t have to worry about them anymore.”
“clear.”
The Kachin commander nodded slightly ashamedly, and then said:
“Our speed is too slow. If I can go faster.”
By saying this, he was taking all the responsibility for this “fiasco” on himself. This was undoubtedly a gesture of goodwill to the white man in front of him, but to his surprise, the white man opposite him neither answered nor offered any words of comfort. , but frowned and looked out the window, seeming to have been caught in some kind of long exam.
The commander did not dare to say more, but carefully observed the other party’s expression. After a long time, he asked:
“Sir, what’s the problem?”
The white man shook his head slowly, paused for a few seconds, and finally answered:
“There shouldn’t be a problem.”
“But, I always feel like it won’t be that simple.”
“If they send an elite team to sneak into the airport at this time, can we stop it?”
“Elite team?”
The commander’s eyes widened in astonishment and then asked:
“How many people are there in the elite team?”
“Four people? Maybe three, or two.”
The white man scratched his head subconsciously and continued:
“The airport’s defenses are too weak, aren’t they?”
“There are less than 40 defenders around us now. Although they hold heavy weapons, it is difficult for them to establish much advantage in close combat.”
“It only takes a small team to enter the airport and they can quickly control the situation. As long as they catch me, they can completely seize the initiative.”
“If I were their commander, in this situation, I would definitely take the risk and give it a try.”
“If you fail, it’s just death, but if you succeed, everyone can live.”
“Yes, this is an option with absolutely positive returns. There is no way they will not take action!”
Having said this, the white man’s eyes suddenly became sharp. After another pause for a few seconds, he spoke:
“I’m leaving now!”
“I can’t stay at the headquarters, this place is a target!”
“It’s not safe here anymore, me.”
“Bang bang bang bang -“
“stop!”
“do not move!”
“Enemies! There are enemies!”
Before the white man finished speaking, a burst of chaotic gunshots and shouts suddenly came from outside the door.
The expression on his face changed rapidly, but in the end, it turned into an expression of relief.
“I knew it.”
“They’re always one step ahead of us.”
“Let’s go, it’s too late.”
“retreat!”
At the same time, Chen Chen and Lin He, who had sneaked into the airport, were fighting fiercely with the airport defenders outside the headquarters.
What they were holding in their hands was no longer the MP5-K, but the Bayi Bar that had just been captured from the enemy.
Although this gun has not been used for a long time, the muscle memory is not easily erased. Every time the two fire, a life can be taken away.
But even so, the situation they faced could still be said to be precarious.
The location has been exposed, and all the defenders at the airport have reacted. Everyone is running and shouting to convey information, and various firepower points have begun to be deployed. If it were not blocked by smoke bombs, they would have been hit by heavy machine gun bullets. Sieved.
The headquarters was less than 20 meters in front of them. In a sudden glance, Chen Chen had even seen the white man’s face inside.
But now he had completely lost the opportunity to fire and had to retreat behind the bunker to wait for Lin He’s response.
——
In fact, they are really only one step away from success.
The early stealth was very smooth. He and Lin He successfully bypassed most of the defensive forces and arrived at the rear of the airport. Under the cover of hillsides and bushes, they took advantage of the chaos of the defenders and launched an attack in broad daylight under their noses. He sneaked into the airport.
They bypassed most of the sentry posts and approached the headquarters step by step, but just as they were about to sneak into the command post, the increasingly dense sentry posts finally discovered them.
Without any hesitation, Chen Chen immediately opened fire and knocked down the sentry, but the sound of the gunfire also exposed their position. When he tried to directly cross the last distance, several bullets from a distance blocked his path.
Lin He behind him immediately opened fire to cover, and Chen Chen was forced to retreat behind the bunker. This also caused him to lose his best and only chance to get close to the “real commander”.
Chen Chen was not reckless, but immediately ordered a retreat. He threw out the smoke bombs he had prepared, then pointed at the jeep parked beside the runway not far behind him and ordered Lin He to drive away.
Lin He moved very quickly. In the time it took Chen Chen to empty a magazine, he had already completed the preparation of the vehicle. With the cover of smoke bombs, Chen Chen also ran to the side of the vehicle smoothly and turned over in one go.
“Retreat, retreat!”
Chen Chen shouted loudly.
Lin He, who was in the driver’s seat, stepped on the accelerator. Chen Chen fell backwards on the back seat, but he immediately stood up and pounced on the general-purpose machine gun mounted on the co-pilot.
Immediately afterwards, continuous firing sounded. The two Kachin defenders blocking the jeep were knocked down before they had time to react. Chen Chen used the bulletproof insert on his chest to resist two 7.62mm rounds. Bullet, steady his muzzle.
At this time, Lin He had already driven the car onto the airport runway. He almost rushed past the distance of less than 200 meters from the headquarters to the runway. The previous stunt driving training played its unique role at this moment. The continuous changes in direction and acceleration allowed the car to throw away almost all the pursuing bullets and rush directly towards the road outside the airport.
Their speed was very fast, and the two of them were like legendary assassins, missing a single hit and escaping immediately.
The bad news is that the infiltration appears to have failed.
After all, Chen Chen’s purpose was to capture him alive, to use the commander’s life as a bargaining chip in exchange for the lives of his own team members.
And as long as they are discovered, it means that they have lost the opportunity.
But the good news is that less than a minute passed from the time the two were discovered to the time they got into the car and evacuated.
From the perspective of the airport defenders, they appeared at the airport inexplicably, fired several shots, and threw several smoke bombs and grenades.
Then when our own side reacted, their jeep was almost out of sight.
Most people were in a state of confusion, which gave Chen and Chen an excellent opportunity to escape.
It took them 30 seconds to see the main entrance of the airport, but the Kachin defenders, whose vision was blocked by smoke bombs, were still firing aimlessly at the smoke.
“Keep moving forward and attract the defenders’ attention.”
“We can’t catch anyone, but at least we disrupted the opponent’s arrangement, and the pressure on the Mogang residential area will be less.”
“The plane is still over there, so I can’t react at the moment.”
“Drive towards the jungle and run away!”
“clear!”
Chen Chen turned the muzzle of his gun to look back and gave quick orders, while Lin He stepped on the accelerator into the fuel tank and accelerated desperately.
The defenders in the airport have been pushed further and further away, and the heavy machine gun post on the guard post at the main entrance was silenced by Chen Chen’s two short bursts. They were only one step away from the enemy completely.
As long as you drive out of the airport, even if the mission fails, at least you will be safe.
Chen Chen spat and moved his fingers, which were slightly stiff due to the continuous firing, but at this moment, a Hummer suddenly appeared in his sight.
The Hummer was also running at full speed, but its route was different from Chen Chen’s.
The destination of both vehicles was the airport gate, but Chen Chen’s Jeep was facing directly, while the Hummer was facing diagonally.
Chen Chen stared blankly at the Hummer approaching at high speed from the right. For a moment, he thought that this car was specially coming to intercept him.
However, he soon discovered something unusual.
The other party didn’t seem to be interested in him at all – or in other words, the other party seemed to have misjudged the jeep’s identity as friend or foe!
They seemed to think that the enemies who attacked the airport were still at the airport, because the gunfire from behind was still ringing out, and this jeep was just an evacuee like them!
The two cars got closer and closer without incident. Chen Chen looked at the window of the Hummer, and then saw a white-skinned face there.
The other party also saw him.
The two looked at each other.
Three seconds later, Chen Chen said:
“Crash into it.”
Without any hesitation, Lin He suddenly turned the steering wheel.
Immediately afterwards, the Jeep hit the rear of the Hummer at an extremely high speed and at an angle of almost 60 degrees.
This is a non-standard American stop, but its effect is indeed surprisingly good!
The huge impact and the uneven runway caused even the heavy Hummer to roll over on the spot. Chen Chen, who was not wearing a seat belt, flew directly out of the car, spun around twice in the air, and then smashed hard. On the ground.
The intense dizziness and severe pain caused him to completely lose the ability to move. His vision became darker and darker, and just before losing consciousness, he saw Lin He staggering over and the soldier who climbed out of the Humvee raised his hand. Before the gun, a shot shattered his head.
Lin He didn’t care about Chen Chen.
He just held the grenade and shouted:
“Surrender! Otherwise it will explode!”
