Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger
Chapter 109: Exposure

Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Exposure

At 3 o’clock in the morning, Ao Nan Beach...

The cool and moist sea breeze feels very comfortable on the skin...

In the yard of the Volunteer Police office, Mountain Eagle and Blood Fox are each lying on a lounger asleep, the small charcoal grill they used for barbecue in front of them is nearly extinguished, and the surrounding area is littered with beer bottles in disarray.

The interior of the office courtyard is very messy, and the house is dilapidated, but the surrounding walls of the courtyard are still intact.

A 60 cm high base wall is built with brick pillars erected every 2 meters, and between the pillars are rusty iron railings.

The clutter in the courtyard provides excellent cover; the rotten wood leaning against the iron railings and the piled construction debris make it very difficult for outsiders to clearly see the inside details through the mess.

Luo Yang is extremely tense; the two Indians had gasped their last breaths painfully at midnight, and the scent of death pervaded the cramped office, giving Luo Yang an immense sense of pressure, to the extent that the Glock 17 in his hands couldn’t provide enough security.

Since yesterday, Mountain Eagle’s display of ruthless traits has made Luo Yang very nervous, and at the same time, he’s experiencing an indescribable thrill.

Just as a fly landed on an Indian’s eyeball, several knocking sounds suddenly came from the radio inside the office...

When Luo Yang excitedly picked up the old radio handset to speak, a burst of static came from the radio.

In the past few hours, Luo Yang had to report the situation here to a man on the other end of the radio every fifteen minutes; now the sudden loss of function of the radio made him instantly tense...

As Luo Yang took out his phone and was about to try dialing, Mountain Eagle, outside the door, suddenly said, "Don’t bother, the cell phones have no signal either."

Mountain Eagle lay on the lounger without moving, and he and Blood Fox’s positions formed an angle, with their lines of sight precisely monitoring both the land road and the seaside.

Blood Fox is holding a compact night vision goggles...

Looking through the night vision at the scene on the sea, Blood Fox chuckled and said, "At your 6 o’clock, the fishing boat by the shore, IR lights, 8 of them. I told you that you’re in trouble."

Mountain Eagle’s Hummingbird system also has night vision capabilities; he watched as a sedan and a small truck stopped on the coastal road a hundred meters away, and about a dozen people got out of the truck’s cargo hold...

From a hundred meters away, it’s impossible to make out the model of the weapons in their hands, but it could almost be confirmed they were coming for them.

"You retreat into the room and watch the people on the fishing boat; I’ll hold them off...

The people coming from Bangkok are already in position, and they can ambush those ashore from the flank at any moment."

Blood Fox listened and shook his head slightly, saying, "Don’t pin your hopes on others. Mi Lu is nearby, I’ll notify him to coordinate with you."

As he spoke, Blood Fox took out a small flashlight, flickered it several times quickly in one direction, then stood up, crouched, and darted into the office; he lay behind a crude fortification made from a broken table and decorating sandbags, set up his AK74, and aimed at the position of the target fishing boat.

Combat sounds complicated, but in fact, when it comes down to face-to-face confrontation, it can also be quite simple.

Theoretically, whoever fires first and suppresses the opponent gains the advantage!

However, Mountain Eagle and Blood Fox being only two people meant even if they managed to get the initiative, it wouldn’t last long.

If the follow-up reinforcements were not timely, they would need to withdraw through pre-planned routes before being surrounded.

Normally, Blood Fox would never let himself fall into such a disadvantageous situation, but to cooperate with Mountain Eagle’s plan, the old guy didn’t hesitate to trust Mountain Eagle.

Mountain Eagle rarely lets those who trust him down. After Blood Fox was positioned, he tore off his shirt to reveal the bullet-proof vested underneath, then picked up the modified AK74, using the construction debris as cover, and pressed against a pillar of the courtyard wall.

Now that the radio is jammed, Mountain Eagle can’t contact the outside world, but he didn’t seem the least bit nervous, as a matter of fact, he appeared very comfortable.

Protected by the pre-designed cover, Mountain Eagle squatted on the ground. His gun barrel did not protrude from the cover, and with no warning before those on the road could disperse, he pulled the trigger...

"Bang"

The sound of the AK firing was particularly harsh in the early morning...

Equipped with a flash suppressor, the modernized AK74 achieved near-perfect shooting effects despite the loud sound.

A bullet hit a gunman in the abdomen, piercing through the less-than-high-quality bullet-proof vest and tearing a large hole as it tumbled through the gunman’s belly.

The sudden strike caused the gunman’s body to jolt, and then he sat down on the ground with a thud...

A few seconds later, the man looked down at the terrible wound on his abdomen and let out a painful howl.

Meanwhile, Mountain Eagle didn’t idle, entering the zone the moment he squeezed the trigger to fire the first bullet...

"Bang," another gunman fell to the ground with a shot in the abdomen...

"Bang," one trying to lift the first fallen unlucky shooter was hit in the temple...

The bullet entered from the left side of his head and burst out to create a fist-sized wound on the right side, spattering the brain matter and blood all over the first unfortunate one, elevating his screams to a new level.

Three consecutive hits alerted the gunmen, who frantically threw themselves to the ground, crawling rapidly along the gravel-littered surface in search of cover.

The coastal road offered little shelter, with only a few coconut trees and some rocks to serve as their lifesaving straws.

At the same time, Blood Fox in the office also opened fire...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

A dozen bullets struck around a fishing boat by the shore, eliciting a series of yelps from the people hiding inside.

The long, narrow fishing boats commonly used by fishermen around Kamui offered no protection against the bullets from AK74s. Following an outraged shout, shadows leaped from both sides of the boat. The moment their feet hit the ground, they started sprinting...

Blood Fox watched the tactical postures of those shadows, smirked, and squeezed the trigger, pouring all the bullets from the magazine, downing a man who had disembarked from the left side of the fishing boat.

The bullet hit the man’s waist, causing him to stagger before falling onto the dirty, black seaweed-covered shoreline.

His comrade heard the commotion behind and, while firing his gun towards the office, called for his people to provide suppressing fire in that direction...

These people were highly skilled, and their rushed counterattack managed to focus on the side where Blood Fox was located.

Some bullets penetrated the thin walls and shot into the office interior, startling Luo Yang who had no experience in such matters; he instinctively crouched in the corner with his head in his hands.

Blood Fox lay behind a pre-arranged position, calmly reloading a new magazine into his rifle. He glanced back at the terrified Luo Yang and shouted loudly, "Get down, go to the restroom; it’s safer there..."

After speaking, Blood Fox pulled the charging handle and fired the trigger...

"Bang bang bang bang..."

This time, Blood Fox’s shooting achieved results once again, taking down one trying to lift their injured comrade. Several bullets hit both men, causing them to fall simultaneously.

This thoroughly enraged the well-equipped gunmen...

Now unencumbered by the wounded, the group’s movement quickened. They split into two teams skillfully avoiding Blood Fox’s line of fire and began to flank the office from two directions.

Blood Fox’s field of vision was cleared of enemy figures. The old fellow showed no sign of panic; he stood up, took a signal flare, and stretched it out the window towards the office side, launching a flare.

The bright flare instantly illuminated a stretch of the beach, exposing two gunmen clad in black combat uniforms...

Just as they tried to quicken their pace and rush out of the illuminated zone, a bullet flew from afar, hitting one black-clad figure in the shoulder.

The 7.62mm sniper round from the SVD sniper rifle pierced the black-clad man’s shoulder, shattering his shoulder blade and eliciting a horrified roar from another black figure.

There was no proper cover by the beach for seeking protection, and facing a sniper under such circumstances spelled a certain death.

Indeed, only two seconds later, another bullet struck the thigh of another black figure...

Mi Lu’s extremely nasty tactics caused further shock and anger to the other black-clad assailants moving around the flank...

A curly-haired man with face paint pressed his radio and shouted loudly, "This is a damn trap, it’s a trap...

Our men are wounded; we need support..."

At this time, Martha, deep inside Ao Nan, also realized things were going awry. She grabbed the radio and spoke urgently, "We must eliminate the target; sea support is on its way. They’ll use machine guns to cover your assault, then extract you...

Move quickly, if it’s a trap, the Thai Police will surely take action..."

As Martha spoke, she glanced at the still indifferent CIA officer beside her and said angrily, "Do something, this is a trap. That guy called Yue Shan is probably linked to those smugglers..."

The CIA officer, a balding middle-aged Caucasian man, stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead, shaking his head, "If this is a trap, it means we’re on the right path...

Thai smugglers don’t have the capability for such a counterattack; it must be those terrorists...

This is good news!"

Martha was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "Your good news only holds if we capture that Yue Shan. Get your men moving."

The balding middle-aged man shook his head, "No, we need to evacuate. You’ve been exposed, and I don’t think the other side would let us go after setting up a trap.

Lady, all our operations here are unregistered with the Thai authorities, the Thai Police won’t hesitate to wipe us out."

As he spoke, the balding middle-aged man instructed his subordinates to pack up and said, "We need to move to the safe house and put some pressure on those from the ’Short-snouted Crocodile Mercenary Corps’. Ever since they got out of the car, they haven’t moved an inch forward...

Such behavior is too foolish!"
