Mercenary’s War
Chapter 1111 - 1111 One Thousand and Ninety-Four If We Can't Leave Then We Won't

1111: Chapter One Thousand and Ninety-Four: If We Can’t Leave, Then We Won’t 1111: Chapter One Thousand and Ninety-Four: If We Can’t Leave, Then We Won’t The psychological pressure a sniper brings to the unprotected infantry is incomparable.

Just popping your head out equals death—who can withstand that?

If it’s a distance over seven or eight hundred meters, or even over a kilometer, no infantry would try to kill a sniper with their own rifle.

If they have artillery support, they call for fire; if not, they tactfully retreat.

But what if the distance is shorter?

Then things get easier.

Ten or even dozens of men charge at once, willing to sacrifice a few to spot the sniper’s position and eliminate him with a barrage of gunfire.

But the problem is, who can guarantee that when they charge with the others, they won’t be the one to fall?

Without solving this problem, matters become complicated.

Especially knowing that the enemy is a hundred percent hit-rate sharpshooter, and not just a sniper but a precision shooter with extremely fast firing rate.

If it takes sacrificing fifteen out of thirty men to take down the enemy, who would dare bet they won’t be the one missed?

Unless one truly does not fear death, no one dares to directly charge a precision shooter’s position.

Maybe some clueless rookies would recklessly advance, but anyone with a bit of sense who doesn’t wish to die wouldn’t take the risk.

Members of Iron Madonna are all cunning; they wouldn’t stick their heads out to be killed by Gao Yang.

They would only consider advancing after neutralizing the threat Gao Yang posed.

With a few shots from Gao Yang, the threat from behind in the village drastically diminished.

At least for the time being, the enemy wouldn’t dare show themselves.

Having suppressed the enemy and making them duck for cover, Gao Yang immediately yelled, “Run!”

The others stood up and continued to run away from the village, while Gao Yang lay prone, his rifle at the ready, providing cover fire.

After running a few dozen meters, Glolov turned and fell prone, setting up his machine gun before shouting loudly, “Retreat!”

Gao Yang was about to fall back when he heard Jansen loudly warn, “Enemy’s taking position on the roof!

From due south, two o’clock!

It’s a sniper!”

Gao Yang immediately stopped moving, aiming his rifle toward the two o’clock rooftop.

He kept his left eye open to observe other locations for movement while his right eye stayed on the scope, constantly watching for anyone appearing on the roof.

A Glow Night Vision Device was placed before his left eye, painting his view in pale green.

With his right eye behind a thermal imager, he saw a whitish world, but any heat source would appear as a red object.

Seeing two different colors with both eyes made Gao Yang feel somewhat uncomfortable, but he couldn’t close his left eye because it would mean giving up his main field of vision.

Don’t be fooled by movies; a good sniper always shoots with both eyes open.

No one had appeared on the rooftop yet, but near the one Jansen reported, someone peeked out for a glance.

Gao Yang swiftly aimed his rifle in that direction but was too slow to fire before the enemy ducked back down.

Gao Yang returned his aim to the rooftop, but just as he moved away, the same person who had peeked out before stuck their head out again.

This time was different.

Having peeked once, Gao Yang had already pinpointed the enemy’s position.

He swiftly swung his rifle around and fired.

The shot hit the head of the person showing themselves for the second time.

With a sniper on the other side, never appear twice in the same spot.

The enemy might know this rule, but they didn’t know Gao Yang’s firing speed.

Just peeking out was suicidal.

The bullet likely hit the helmet.

Gao Yang wasn’t sure if it was a fatal shot, but as he moved his rifle again, he spotted a red dot on the roof Jansen pointed out.

Executing a roll without moving too far from his original spot, Gao Yang kept his rifle generally aimed at the rooftop’s red dot.

Popping out was to pinpoint his location, so the sniper could take a shot—Gao Yang thought so.

Therefore, he didn’t dare to be complacent and rolled on the spot.

After the roll, locking onto the red dot, he fired.

At the moment he fired, he saw the red dot also let off a shot.

Gao Yang heard the sound of a bullet burrowing into the ground; had he not rolled, he would’ve been hit.

As for the enemy, Gao Yang felt confident he had hit them.

“Headshot, killed!

Nicely done!”

Jansen shouted loudly, and Gao Yang quickly packed his rifle and sprinted away.

“Hit the ground!”

Having run forward a dozen steps, Gao Yang heard Jansen’s shout and fell backwards, lying down but facing the enemy.

Lying on the ground, rifle raised slightly, Gao Yang quickly spotted four or five people running out.

The enemy wanted to seize the opportunity for a rear attack while he was turning to flee.

Unfortunately for them, Gao Yang had a god-like view.

Two shots rang out and took down two pursuers.

The remainder ducked back into cover, although one lying enemy’s legs were still exposed.

Gao Yang’s third shot hit that third person’s leg, but they quickly crawled back behind cover.

Flipping over, he got up to keep running, covering another twenty meters.

Fire, stop, run, more stops and runs, after several rounds of this, Gao Yang and his companions finally retreated beyond three hundred and fifty meters.

“Suppress the enemy twice more, then retreat beyond four hundred meters!”

Beyond four hundred meters, the AK47 wouldn’t pose much of a threat.

The bullets were still deadly, but they wouldn’t hit the target.

As for the 5.56mm rifles the enemy was using, they also lost their menace at this distance.

Four hundred meters was just the effective range—it didn’t mean everyone could make the shot.

After reloading his magazine, Gao Yang waited to fire another two rounds as soon as the enemies appeared.

Now, the pickup truck dared not approach, and the enemies didn’t dare leave the village.

Their chances of escaping had become much greater.

Just then, Taylor shouted ecstatically, “Helicopter!

Our helicopter is here!”

The gunfire was too loud for Gao Yang to hear the sound of the approaching helicopter.

After hearing Taylor’s shout, Gao Yang quickly looked up and indeed spotted a helicopter in the sky, not far away.

It’s finally here, Gao Yang also felt immensely relieved, but this was no time to relax.

“Hurry up and retreat further back!

Go!”

Seeing no enemies in sight, Gao Yang immediately stood up and started to retreat backward.

Cui Bo got up first intending to carry Andy He.

Every time they had to hit the ground, he had to toss Andy out, then pick him back up.

The back and forth had worn Cui Bo out, not to mention Andy He had been thrown around quite a bit.

“Rabbit!

This time just carry me on your back, so I can be your meat shield, and don’t throw me away anymore, okay?”

Seeing the helicopter arrive and their hopes soar, Andy He finally had the leisure to make his request, only to be flatly rejected by Cui Bo.

“Idiot, it’s better to be thrown around than to get shot!”

Cui Bo also expressed his joy while scolding Andy He.

Hefting Andy He onto his back again, the limping Cui Bo ran even faster.

Since the enemy still hadn’t emerged, Gao Yang shouted, “Tell the helicopter to land a bit further away, we’ll run to meet up with it.”

Boarding the helicopter was also the most dangerous moment, giving the enemy an opportunity to open fire.

Light and heavy machine guns and rocket launchers could pose a huge threat to a helicopter taking off from the ground, especially since they were only four to five hundred meters from the village—a very unsafe distance.

The helicopter was still at a height of two to three hundred meters in the air and had already spotted Gao Yang’s position.

It was rapidly descending when Taylor screamed, “Don’t land, pull up, move back, don’t land here, move back further, find a safe place to land; release the Decoy Flares, Anti-aircraft missiles, fire the Decoy Flares quickly…”

Taylor hadn’t finished speaking when Frey howled in utter terror, “Missile!”

Two flashes streaked above the village; those were the tail flames produced by the missile engines.

The missile tail flames flickered momentarily, and the helicopter in the sky released numerous infrared Decoy Flares.

Soon after, two flashes exploded in the air as the missiles hit the Decoy Flares.

Gao Yang took a deep breath, and Taylor spoke in a drained tone, “Quick, retreat!

Helicopter, pull back!

Go to a safe place and wait for us.”

Frey exhaled a moaning sigh of relief, loudly saying, “That was close, thank God.”

The helicopter maintained their hope of escape.

Seeing it evade the Anti-aircraft missiles, everyone felt a sense of relief—it was terrifying.

“Quick!

Keep going…

Fuck me!”

Gao Yang hadn’t finished speaking when he let out another despairing and meaningless curse.

There were two more flashes over the village.

The escaping helicopter had no infrared Decoy Flares left to use.

Soon, a loud explosion rang out in the sky, and the escaping helicopter began to sway from side to side as it fell towards the ground.

Following another explosion, this time the Anti-aircraft missile struck the helicopter directly, exploding it into a fireball in the air before it even hit the ground.

Watching the fireball plummet to the ground, everyone from Satan fell into a deathly silence.

Gao Yang saw the helicopter explode in midair but didn’t watch it hit the ground because he dared not take his eyes off the enemy’s position.

“Are the enemy’s Anti-aircraft missiles free?”

After a moment, Cui Bo muttered, then Frey spoke in an extremely helpless voice, “We’re not getting out of here.”

The enemy’s destruction of the helicopter dealt a crushing blow to their morale.

Gao Yang felt very discouraged and annoyed, but he couldn’t show it.

If they all truly lost their fighting spirit, it would really be the end.

Gao Yang bellowed, “What’s there to fear!

We still have Eileen!

Just wait for Eileen to come pick us up.”

Rafael forced a smile and said, “The enemy seems to have a lot of Anti-aircraft missiles; Eileen won’t have a chance to land…”

F**k, if the enemy won’t let us leave, then we won’t go either!

Let’s pull back a bit more, set up a defensive position, and we’re not fucking retreating!

We’ll fight them right here!

Let’s see who’s scared!”

Caught off guard, Cui Bo said, “Yeah, the enemy has more people, what’s there to be scared of?

We’ll take them down!”

Taylor laughed out loud, saying, “Who has a spare gun?

Give me one; mine’s been shot.

Fuck!

We fight them here to the very end, and we avenge Test Tube today!

We have the Gun God, what’s there to fear!

I’m not afraid of anyone, bring it on!” (To be continued.
