Click! A bush as thick as a bowl was torn open and broken by bullets from a sniper rifle. But a second before the bullet hit the bush, Xia Lei had already bypassed the bush and ran to a higher place.
"Is that guy still a human? He ran as fast on the hillside as I did on the flat ground. How is this possible?" The sniper on the opposite hillside couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and he observed nervously Looking at Xia Lei, who was jumping around on the hillside, he could see Xia Lei, but couldn't lock on to him. As the distance lengthened, the bullet's flight time alone took about 1.5 seconds to two seconds, and during this time, Xia Lei had already run at least a dozen meters away.
At this moment, Xia Lei suddenly disappeared from his sight, no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't see it.
"That guy... couldn't have escaped, right?" The sniper lurking at the high sniper point guessed this, but he did not dare to give up searching for Xia Lei's traces, nor did he dare to snipe other targets rashly, because he was afraid Once he changes his target, he himself becomes Xia Lei's target!
After a minute of stalemate like this, the sniper gave up. He slowly climbed out of the sniper spot and crawled elsewhere.
The fighting became more intense down the hillside. The two sides did not know how many bullets were fired at each other, nor how many magazines were emptied. However, neither China's agents nor the armed personnel ambushing here could repel the other party and expand the results. For a while, both sides were in a state of anxiety.
It is not surprising that even the most powerful US military in the world may need 250,000 bullets to kill a Santa Ita militant. And, this is real data.
On the hillside, Xia Lei climbed into a pile of rocks using his hands and feet. His left eye was fixed on the opposite hillside. Although the sniper was wearing camouflage and almost blended into the mountain, in his left eye, the sniper looked like a man walking in the dark with a flashlight. It couldn't be more obvious.
Xia Lei stretched out the barrel of the sniper rifle from the gap between the two rocks, aimed at the head of the sniper rifle, and then pulled the trigger.
boom! There was a muffled sound, and a bullet shot out, hitting the sniper in the back one point and five seconds later. Although the sniper was wearing a bullet-proof vest, the current bullet-proof vest could not protect against sniper rifle bullets. What's more, Xia Lei's sniper rifle was specially modified and was very powerful in terms of rate of fire and power!
A large piece of flesh and blood was ripped off the sniper's back, and his lungs were shredded by the impact. There was no possibility of survival.
Xia Lei breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the sniper had been killed. He said to the communicator: "The enemy's sniper has been killed. Don't rush out. Keep shooting. I will clear them out."
"Well done!" Tang Yuyan's voice was full of excitement.
Bang! There was another gunshot, and an armed man's chest was shattered.
boom! Another armed man fell to the ground.
boom! An armed man who just poked his head out from behind the rock was shot to pieces...
After killing the opponent's RPG operator and the opponent's sniper, Xia Lei could find the target and kill it without any scruples. Moreover, he is outside the opponent's shooting range, so there is no need to worry about bullets threatening him!
After a few minutes, the opponent couldn't bear it anymore. They gave up the attack and fled to the other side of the hillside in embarrassment. Xia Lei did not give up on sniping, and took advantage of the enemy's escape to kill several more. Of thirty armed men, less than fifteen could leave the battlefield alive!
This time, Xia Lei didn't feel sick after killing someone. What Long Bing said seems to be right. Killing people is indeed disgusting, but once you get used to it, it will be fine. Including the two professional killers he killed before and the people he killed tonight, the number of people Xia Lei killed was already in double digits.
The absence of nausea does not mean that it feels better. After the battle, after the tense nerves and desire to kill were relaxed, Xia Lei's mind went blank again, terrifyingly empty.
"It's over, Lei, come down quickly, we have to get out of here." Tang Yuyan's voice came from the communicator again.
Xia Lei finally came to his senses, he responded, and then walked down the hillside with his sniper rifle. During the battle, he held his breath and rushed upward. All the nerves in his body were tense, and he felt like he was wandering outside the gates of hell. Now that he was completely relaxed, he found that his legs were shaking.
"If I want to become someone like Long Bing and Tang Yuyan, I'm afraid I still have a long way to go, right?" A wry smile appeared on the corner of Xia Lei's mouth.
Down the hillside, agents from the 101st Bureau were already clearing the battlefield. Three people died in the 101st round, but this was not the worst. The worst thing was that the guide Karam was killed.
Seventeen people died on the unknown armed side, twelve of them were killed by Xia Lei. In this battle alone, the agents of Bureau 101 were impressed by this seemingly gentle "consultant". Before this, these agents thought that Xia Lei was a pure technician, such as a computer hacker, a language expert, etc., but they did not expect that he was such a powerful sniper!
Agents from Bureau 101 searched the enemy's corpse and found no identifying information, but some items on the corpse also provided some clues.
A lot of odds and ends were piled on the floor, including chewing gum, chocolate, Playboy magazines and a few photos. Among these photos, the background of one is New York’s Central Park, and the other is the gate of Harvard University. These two photos are of a man and a woman together, very intimate.
Tang Yuyan pointed to the things on the ground, "Chewing gum, chocolate and flowers? Young Master Magazine, what are the identities of these people? What do you think?"
Xia Lei said: "Don't these photos already give the necessary information? Where they come from, you should know better than me."
These people are all Americans. Tang Yuyan knew it very well, but she just didn't say it out loud. In fact, she had already made a preliminary judgment in her mind, that is, these people were American special forces, not CIA agents. Because it is impossible for CIA to gather so many agents to perform tasks in one operation, these special forces should only be commanded by one or two CIA agents, but they are not among the corpses.
After a moment of silence, Tang Yuyan said: "Lei, tell me...are these people here for you?"
Xia Lei's expression changed slightly, and then he shook his head, "Are you saying it's because of the last mission Long Bing and I performed in Germany? It's possible, but I prefer Jing Jing and other experts. You Didn’t I say that the last rescue operation also failed and there were heavy casualties, so it’s not necessarily the fault of this group of people.”
Although he said this, Xia Lei was thinking about the woman who spit gum at him and what his father Xia Changhe wrote on the note. In fact, he was more inclined to think that these people were targeting him.
Tang Yuyan said: "You may be right. This group of people will definitely come back. Next time, we must catch someone alive. I will personally interrogate them."
Xia Lei said: "Our guide is dead, what should we do now?"
"We have to continue moving forward without a guide." Tang Yuyan then gave the order, "Bury our people, sort out the weapons and equipment, check the condition of the vehicles, and set off in half an hour."
Agents from the 101st Bureau took action. Some dug holes to bury the bodies of their comrades, some counted weapons and equipment, and some inspected and repaired damaged vehicles. As for the bodies of the armed men, they were thrown under a cliff. They will become food for crows and bacteria, and will eventually turn into bones.
This was also a helpless move, especially for the three dead agents from the 101st Bureau. Their bodies should have been transported back to the country, but the mission had to continue and no one sent their bodies back. They will be laid to rest in this deserted land, and their families will not even have a chance to pay their respects.
This is war, one of the most evil behaviors of mankind.
Half an hour later, three Ford Raptors hit the road and drove deep into the mountains.
This time it was Xia Lei who was driving, and Tang Yuyan used a satellite phone and code words in the passenger seat to transmit information to the intelligence station. What happens here will be sent back to the 101st Bureau headquarters through the intelligence station.
Tang Yuyan's codeword was very special. It was an ancient poem, and it was also written in classical Chinese. Even if someone intercepted her communication with the intelligence station, it would be useless. Chinese classical Chinese is the most difficult writing and language in the world, and it is as difficult as heaven to decipher it.
After Tang Yuyan ended the satellite call, Xia Lei said aloud: "What did it say above?"
"Continue to carry out the mission, and another person will be sent to pick us up. He will lead us through the area controlled by tribal armed forces." Tang Yuyan said.
"Where is he?"
"Tomorrow morning we will pass through the territory of the Baishi tribe, and I estimate that the new guide will meet us before then." Tang Yuyan said.
"What tribe controls the Bamiyan Valley we are going to?" Xia Lei wanted to know more about the situation.
Tang Yuyan smiled bitterly, "There are hundreds of tribes in Afghanistan, and I only know a dozen, and they are all relatively famous large tribes. Some small tribes are like our small towns and villages over there, they are deep in the mountains. Who knows. This is why we need guides. Without the guidance and negotiation of guides, we can easily be regarded as enemies and engage in firefights with tribal armed forces."
"Is the White Stone Tribe you are talking about a large tribe or a small tribe?"
"Not big, not small. If you want to ask how many armed personnel they have, I can tell you that they have more than a thousand armed personnel." Tang Yuyan said: "So, when passing through the area controlled by the Baishi tribe, we must Be careful not to conflict with them, otherwise we will be in big trouble."
Xia Lei was silent for a moment before saying: "Actually, we should use airplanes to perform this mission. The ground is too complicated."
Tang Yuyan said: "Brother, this is Afghanistan, a mountainous country. Besides helicopters, what other aircraft can take us in? Helicopters fly too slowly and will become a living target for shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles. More importantly, Afghanistan's airspace Already controlled by the United States and its allies, we cannot avoid the US military's radar. Once we choose an aircraft to perform this mission, their fighter planes will come over to greet us before our aircraft reaches its destination. "
"So that's it. Forget it, let's talk about something else. For such a dangerous mission, we might be sacrificed here. Can you tell me about your Tang Sect's hidden weapon skills?"
"Haha, I know you won't give up and want to secretly learn our Tang Sect's special skills. How many times do I have to tell you before you give up? Our Tang Sect's hidden weapon skills are not passed on to outsiders unless you are a member of the Tang family."
"I also told you, does your father still accept his godson?"
"screw you."
"mean… "
As we talked like this, mountains were left behind.
