Chapter 202: Chapter 190: Giving a Big Gift

Just moments ago, Gao Yi and his team had fired on the CIA with three cannons and three Gatling guns, to which the CIA could do nothing.

Now it was the CIA’s turn for retaliation, but all they sent were a few light infantry to face certain death. After three rounds of gunfire, there were casualties, yet they couldn’t breach the position.

Naaoi had been talked up to the skies, the fame of the CIA Special Action Team was thunderous, yet when it came to the crunch, that was it?

That wasn’t very impressive.

Now Gao Yi felt confident again, whispering, "Seems that’s all they’ve got."

"You’d think that from inside the house, but we can’t get out."

Li Jie’s voice was grave. Gao Yi’s ears kept ringing, so Li Jie’s voice sounded muffled and unclear to him.

"What do you mean, can’t get out? What happens if we go out?"

"Whoever shows their head dies. If the enemy just blockades us without attacking, there’s no chance for us to leave."

Li Jie sighed and whispered, "The Special Action Team is indeed strong."

"How so?"

Gao Yi hesitated for a moment but then clarified, "I’m not arguing for the sake of it. I’m just curious, how did they seem formidable?"

"If they have a chance to shoot, they never miss. Now that they’ve stopped attacking, it’s us who’s feeling uncomfortable. Who benefits from dragging this out?"

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Still in their favor."

"That’s a problem then. We can only forcefully break out... if we do..."

Li Jie glanced at Lin Xianghua and said, "Put on another layer of Bullet-Proof Vest and we’ll break out. You go in front of me. If you get shot in the head, I’ll take your place. If you’re shot in the limbs, should I finish you off or leave you?"

Lin Xianghua whispered, "Finish me off, make sure to finish me off."

"Alright, wear an extra layer."

While the two were conversing, Gao Yi interjected discontentedly, "Why just..."

"Don’t talk. This is old soldiers’ tacit understanding. You wouldn’t understand."

Li Jie truly didn’t treat Gao Yi like a boss, just following the experience of an old soldier, doing what was necessary.

At that moment, Gao Yi felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and took it out to have a look.

When he entered with Mu Tianwen earlier, they couldn’t bring radios, so they had to use cell phones instead. He had received a message from Grins.

"The enemy has twelve men, eight ahead and four behind, all lightly armed, using four cars. After three attacks, four from behind reinforced the front gate, leaving six remaining. Among them, four are wounded and hiding behind the cars, two are unscathed, with rifles guarding the front, separated left and right. Ten meters behind the left car in front of the gate, and fourteen meters behind the right pillar of the surrounding wall, these two can cover the front, left, and right sides. You can leave directly from the back."

"Enemy reinforcements, an Iraqi Defense Army unit should arrive in four minutes and reach us in ten at the fastest after being stopped by us. They will complete the encirclement then. If you breakout, do so quickly."

Two texts had been sent, essentially arriving at the same time.

Gao Yi nudged Li Jie and showed him the phone. Li Jie took a glance and immediately said, "Just this few people? No problem then. Wind Vane will provide some cover from outside, we can fight our way out."

"Fight our way out? Yeah, that sounds good!"

It wasn’t about escaping, but about boldly breaking out, breaking the CIA Special Action Team’s encirclement before leaving.

No, it was about decisively crushing the Special Action Team before departing, not just breaking out.

The CIA lacked aerial reconnaissance; Gao Yi had it.

He was aware of every move outside, leaving no room for politeness or fear.

But one thing Gao Yi didn’t understand and he asked softly, "If the enemy is in short supply and their firepower isn’t strong, why doesn’t Wind Vane provide support from outside?"

"It’s not time yet. He’s a sniper; he can’t fire consecutively. He must shoot suddenly at the moment we breakout to maximize the element of surprise. He only has one chance to provide suppressing cover fire. If he fires too soon, he loses the element of cover."

Explaining on behalf of Feng Biao was Lin Xianghua.

Ultimately, professionals are just that, Lin Xianghua, Li Jie, Feng Biao. Although this was their first formal collaboration, each had experience, knew what to do without much talk, and would act when the moment came.

However, the situation was different now. Gao Yi had aerial reconnaissance on his side, likely a close-range drone providing clear visuals.

Having the enemy’s field of vision was like having the whole map visible, knowing their position changed everything.

What was a lifesaving shot at a critical moment had become an active lethal blow, altering Feng Biao’s role.

Li Jie picked up the radio he had brought in and said, "Wind Vane."

"Roger."

"All the enemy are concentrated at the front entrance. Ten meters to the left, fourteen to the right, four wounded relying on the body of the car for cover, still combat-capable. What can you do?"

"My position allows me to take out the ambush on the left at ten meters and the four wounded, one by one. The enemy at fourteen meters to the right is outside my clear line of sight. I can’t ensure a hit. Over."

"You handle the targets on the left. After luring the fire of the wounded, we’ll attack the target on the right, then focus fire on suppressing the wounded behind the car. You’ll be responsible for taking them out. Is that feasible?"

"Sure, I am in a stealth position now, I need to move to the attack position, just a moment, wait for me to finish preparing, then after counting down from three, you guys initiate the attack."

"Roger."

Li Jie ended the call and said to Gao Yi, "Call out to you, and then you come out."

He didn’t forget to tell Gao Yi, then Li Jie said to Lin Xianghua, "Move to the attack launch position."

Now the enemy is powerless to attack, they are waiting for reinforcements, the task is to hold Gao Yi and his team, just making sure they don’t escape.

But Gao Yi still had an ambush outside, and it was a sniper.

Considering this battle, the CIA really lost fair and square.

First off, they were significantly underprepared, with equipment meant for proactive terrorist attacks, and then transiting through Baghdad, they hadn’t planned for heavy equipment at all. Suddenly receiving news of Naaoi’s death, they hurried into the operation, resulting in a complete lack of equipment superiority.

But most importantly, the Special Action Team had absolutely no intelligence; on the contrary, Gao Yi’s side had a full-map view, thanks to the assistance of the Secret Action Bureau. With this alone, the CIA’s Special Action Team was doomed.

In this battle, numbers didn’t even matter.

Of course, in terms of numbers, Gao Yi’s side had more people.

However, Gao Yi never considered the National Intelligence Bureau’s people as helpers; he regarded them as a burden instead.

Even for the final assault, Gao Yi still didn’t plan on having anyone from the National Intelligence Bureau join them, just acted as if they didn’t exist.

Lin Xianghua and Li Jie first switched to full magazines, then tiptoed to the villa’s entrance, hiding on the same side of the doorway, waiting for Feng Biao to open fire first.

Feng Biao and Luca drove to a position where they could shoot, and the moment they were ready to fire, Feng Biao began the countdown.

"3."

"2."

Counting to two, Feng Biao fired immediately.

Feng Biao was at a bit of a distance, but his sniper rifle was not affected by the range at all. The ambushing troops at the villa entrance, however, were not as lucky; at over 300 meters away, their rifles had the range, but the accuracy had plummeted significantly.

"1."

The person ambushing at the left of the entrance suddenly burst open, dying before the gunshots were heard.

The person on the right glanced at his comrade, but as his head stayed still and just his eyes glanced over, Lin Xianghua and Li Jie had already dashed out from behind the door.

First coming out of the villa, rushing to the gate, then veering right was the only way to get a shot at the person ambushing on the right.

While running, Lin Xianghua let loose a burst of bullets. He didn’t know if he had hit his target, but Li Jie followed closely and threw two hand grenades toward the courtyard wall before charging out.

Lin Xianghua ignored the cars blocking the doorway, while Li Jie shot at the vehicles to cover up the firing angles of a few injured soldiers hiding behind them.

The two shot together, catching the ambusher hiding at the corner of the wall entirely off guard, but even in such an unfavorable situation, he still managed to accurately hit Lin Xianghua in the chest.

Small caliber bullets, hitting the bullet-proof vest, were not a problem, as the basic version of today’s bullet-proof vests can withstand close-range direct shots from 7.62 NATO rounds.

Gunshots rang out, grenades exploded, and an injured soldier hiding behind a car’s hood fired with one hand propped on the car, but Li Jie was quick and shot the soldier’s helmet first.

Feng Biao fired another shot, and a soldier hiding behind the car burst out with a large cloud of blood.

Lin Xianghua swung his rifle around, and he and Li Jie, flanking left and right, decisively took out the remaining two.

Four injured soldiers, one shot in the arm, two in the legs, and the wounds on those shot in the legs were severe, with no reaction until death.

If intelligence was accurate, then not a single member of the Special Action Team would be left.

Li Jie shouted, "Double-tap! Double-tap, then retreat!"

Lin Xianghua and Li Jie began the double-tap procedure, from the outside in, regardless of whether they were dead, they shot each person in the head.

The sound of gunfire started continuously once more, as Lin Xianghua and Li Jie double-tapped their way back from outside.

"Let’s go, let’s go!"

When Li Jie began to shout, two people staggered to their feet in the living room.

Gao Yi truly thought all of the National Intelligence Bureau’s people were gone, but unexpectedly, once the fight was over, two were still perfectly fine. Then, after a brief moment, someone else cried out painfully in a language he didn’t understand.

Lin Xianghua quickly ran to Gao Yi’s side, standing in front of him before whispering, "Let’s go, follow me."

Gao Yi and Lucy began to follow Lin Xianghua outside; they hadn’t gone far when they heard someone cry out in agony, "Take him with you... please, help take him..."

Gao Yi looked in the direction of the voice, into complete darkness, unable to see anything.

Then, Lin Xianghua suddenly turned on a flashlight.

The rifle had a flashlight attached, Lin Xianghua turned it on for illumination, and only then Gao Yi could see that the corner was occupied by the person who had led the team, and beside him was Abdulla.

The living room had seen fierce combat and had been bombed several times; it was unknown whether Abdulla was dead or alive.

However, at this point, there was no need to think too much, Gao Yi immediately said, "He’ll be safer with us, take him with us. Where’s the camera? Take the camera too, we should follow through with the gift to the end."
