Chapter 203: Chapter 203 The Fool

Mountain Eagle made a call to Victoria, telling her what he wanted the undercover agent to do, and received a quite positive response.

Bolonicov was clearing the area. In reality, the manpower he had prepared was far more than just those in the factory; there were others currently scattered across other parts of Moscow. They were the real action team. The security at the factory was primarily for his safety.

This is getting interesting!

Upon receiving the news, as Mountain Eagle waited for the undercover operation to commence, he took Butcher and the others around the vast cemetery park.

Using Crow’s aerial perspective, they swiftly identified about twenty shooting positions, leaving some water and ammunition as supplies at each spot.

Then they moved onto the highway. At a distance of 3 kilometers from the factory, centered around a large tree, they turned a 500-meter radius area into a battlefield. All positions suitable for cover were marked, and more supplies were left there.

Butcher’s trust in Mountain Eagle was not blind. At first, when searching for positions in the cemetery, Butcher even felt it was somewhat superfluous.

But it wasn’t until he stood at a relatively higher vantage point and looked again that he realized those seemingly haphazard shooting spots actually all had mutual covering relationships.

Moreover, there were at least two escape routes near each position, and though they were almost forty to fifty meters apart, plenty of objects could serve as cover in between.

If the enemy wasn’t prepared, it might be possible for just two to three men to hold many of the enemy at bay in the cemetery.

The battlefield on the highway was even more so, with the bushes on both sides and some natural ditches and pits being utilized.

Butcher, an old gun, knew all too well that on a relatively flat battlefield, having cover versus not having it, resulted in vastly different pressures and outcomes.

Firing from behind cover compared to returning fire under immense pressure without any cover would lead to completely different results.

What surprised Butcher the most was Mountain Eagle’s ’battlefield perception’ ability—it was too strong!

It was as if he didn’t even need to think to know which positions were suitable shooting points. Even when finding one position, he had already thought of the next one and in what form it would exist.

Though they were only six people, the ambush circle they created would leave the enemy at a huge disadvantage—not only small units but even if a whole platoon fell into it, unless they were heavily armored troops.

After nearly two hours, under Mountain Eagle’s lead, Butcher and his team finally finished surveying the terrain around them.

As the time reached half-past midnight, Mi Lu, responsible for surveillance from a high point, suddenly signaled...

"Attention, some people are coming out, two vehicles, a sedan and a cargo truck, they are the targets we’ve been waiting for..."

As Mountain Eagle stood tall explaining his tactical thoughts to Butcher and the others, he abruptly straightened up and decisively ordered...

"Pigeon to G1 position, everyone else go to section 4, find your own positions. We’ll hold this wave of people first and see if we can draw out the ones inside the factory to check the situation."

Saying so, Mountain Eagle looked at the several expressionless veterans and said solemnly: "We don’t have extra manpower, nor any backup, so ensuring your own safety is very important. Upon entering any position, be clear about the nearby escape points...

Don’t insist on holding your ground under all circumstances, call for support in any situation. The lookout Mi Lu will provide cover from high ground, and I will also find a way to support you all.

You are not afraid, are you?"

Butcher exchanged glances with his comrades, then grinned at Mountain Eagle, speaking in a hoarse voice: "Boss, we have been through battlefields far crueler than this...

We might die, but we won’t be frightened!"

With those words, Butcher adjusted his helmet, pulled back the bolt of his AK-105 rifle, nodding heavily towards Mountain Eagle...

"To victory..."

"Ura..."

Watching the four old guns emit an intimidating growl before turning and disappearing into the darkness, Mountain Eagle grinned and pulled out two tire puncture nails, scattering them onto the highway.

He divided the highway emerging from the factory into 5 sections, each section about a kilometer in length.

Each highway section would have different shooting positions and tactics established according to the conditions on both sides.

Of course, in a short period of time, it was impossible to arrange everything in detail, and Butcher and his men couldn’t memorize so much information. However, as Mountain Eagle passed by those places, he left marks with special spray paint...

When they lay in position, a glance to the left and right would reveal the next position, and the marks could only be seen with night vision goggles.

Mountain Eagle didn’t know if the opponent had night vision goggles, but he felt that even if they did, they definitely wouldn’t have one for each man...

This single advantage could secure for them a tactical asymmetry!

The ambush position Mountain Eagle set was in section four, and where he sowed the tire nails was the midpoint of that section.

For the first wave of ambushes, to draw out people from inside the factory to check, it shouldn’t make too much noise. Explosives, hand grenades, and such should be avoided as much as possible.

When Mountain Eagle finished his work and entered his combat position, through Crow’s clear vision, he saw that except for Pigeon, who was slightly delayed, finding a relatively high point in a bush about 200 meters away...

He and Butcher had formed an irregular semi-circular encirclement, where four people turned a small section of the highway into a kill zone with no blind spots.

Crouching behind a large tree, Mountain Eagle pulled the charging handle of the AK-105 to ensure a round was chambered, then took out a full magazine from the pouch on his left chest, tapped it against the tree roots, and placed the magazine at his feet...

From the high vantage point, Mi Lu, who was not very far from Mountain Eagle and was using infrared night vision equipment for observation, could see everything very clearly...

He and Blood Fox had always thought Mountain Eagle was a Lone Wolf because, during their few collaborations, this guy had shown a serious ’lack of sociability’ - they always had to rely on their own experience to actively coordinate with him.

But now, Mi Lu realized that Mountain Eagle wasn’t inept at teamwork; he needed comrades who could act according to his thoughts and keep pace with his rhythm.

The tactical capabilities of Butcher and the others were sufficient, and they were agreeable and obedient, so they could be quickly mobilized under Mountain Eagle’s leadership.

They didn’t even need to speak loudly; true veterans just know what they can and should do once they are in position.

A simple pre-battle mobilization completely stirred up everyone’s aggressiveness.

This is an extraordinary tactical ability!

The only problem is that it requires teammates with sufficient capability and experience!

For those who are too incompetent, they may talk a good game, but once in position, they might freeze instantly.

Mi Lu lamented to himself that even an old soldier like him could sometimes misjudge, and he pressed the communicator to say, "The enemy has left the building, not too fast, three minutes..."

After confirming the enemy was about to walk into the ambush circle, Mi Lu took out the phone and made a call...

"Blood Fox, have Erin’s prepared team withdraw, and don’t expose yourselves unless necessary.

Mountain Eagle and his team should be able to handle it, this guy is much more formidable than we imagined!"

On the other end of the phone, Blood Fox exclaimed with surprise, "Are you joking? How many of them are there?"

Mi Lu, holding the infrared binoculars, gazed at the nearby highway and said with some emotion, "You definitely won’t believe it if I tell you, they’ve surrounded the enemy.

This guy is a madman with an overwhelming desire to attack. We’re too old to match his craziness, that’s why we always feel out of sync when fighting alongside him.

FUCK, those ’warriors’ were even brought in by Victoria at my request, and I didn’t expect he would get them into fighting shape in less than a day."

As he spoke, Blood Fox lying inside the Bell Tower, put down the phone on speaker mode, put down the binoculars, and picked up the SVDK sniper rifle...

Through the scope, watching the enemy’s two vehicles suddenly get flat tires, Mi Lu placed his finger on the trigger...

"It’s starting..."

...............

"Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang..."

"Bang Bang Bang..."

As the two cars slowed down with flat tires, a bullet penetrated the passenger window of the sedan, grazing the passenger’s neck and slanting downward to hit the driver’s right arm.

The bullet, which destabilized due to shattering the glass and rolled, left a deep wound on the neck of the passenger like a scraper, at the same time removing a large chunk of flesh from the driver’s arm.

Then, just as the driver of the sedan cried out in shock, a barrage of bullets came from all directions, completely enveloping the two vehicles’ positions.

In fact, it’s difficult to hit a moving vehicle with bullets, but when the distance is only about 50 meters, the vehicles get flat tires, and there’s only a nearly 200-meter straight road ahead, they become sitting ducks.

They had no time to react; a range of Mini Mi Machine Gun bullets lashed inside the sedan at a 45-degree angle, beginning to churn repeatedly.

The occupants of the sedan were like eggs beaten into a bowl, quickly stirred until they were broken.

The situation with the truck behind wasn’t any better, with the driver and the passenger killed by concentrated fire right away.

When the gunfire reached the back of the truck, the people inside were like mice in a microwave...

There was none of the explosive action you see in movies; things like counterattacks just didn’t exist, it was a one-sided slaughter.

But the opponents indeed deserved the title of undercover ’elite’...

Even under these circumstances, the rear doors of the truck were pushed open, 4 gunmen dragged out two severely wounded comrades, and after two of them were taken out by crossfire, the remaining two dashed underneath the vehicle...

This was almost the only angle Mountain Eagle and his team couldn’t shoot!

"Don’t rush, let them call for reinforcements..."
