Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Wolf Pack Tactics

Mountain Eagle alerted Butcher and his team about the drone’s presence merely as a pretext for his own ’vision’. He then ordered Crow to attack the quadcopter drone that had just flown over the cemetery.

The essence of ’cheating’ is its uniqueness, which allowed Mountain Eagle to always maintain a tactical advantage.

Otherwise, without the ’asymmetric’ advantage, they wouldn’t be able to stand ground on the increasingly crowded battlefield.

The bionic drone was not only bionically designed in appearance, but its 60-centimeter wingspan Crow could do more than just surveillance, its alloy claws were also functional.

It was a mere swift dive, then the claws touched the drone’s propeller, causing the valuable drone, a high-cost item in 2014, to lose balance, spin out of control, and smash into the ground, turning into a heap of useless scrap.

After dealing with the drone, Mountain Eagle signaled the now rehydrated Butcher and his team to relocate...

After instructing them to rest for a bit, Mountain Eagle himself quickly ran towards the fourth section of the highway along the shadows of the tombstones...

To his surprise, there were people checking the bodies on the ground!

And the squad, supposedly allies, approached slowly like a Wolf Pack towards those inspecting the bodies.

However, they hadn’t noticed that the enemy was split into two groups...

The 8 people checking the bodies were just the vanguard, while two other squads of 6, situated around 600 meters away from the vanguard, were providing pincer movement protection.

Once Chi Hu’s people launched an attack, those two squads could react quickly...

Mountain Eagle squeezed his radio and called Mi Lu...

"Warn Chi Hu’s people, there are two groups behind the enemy vanguard..."

Mi Lu was stunned for a moment, he lifted the hastily made Ghillie Suit from his body, moved sideways for several meters, then climbed onto a bush with some difficulty and used infrared binoculars to observe...

After locating the targets Mountain Eagle mentioned, Mi Lu frowned, set up his sniper rifle, switched the radio frequency, and said: "Odin, caution your wolf cubs, the first group is a trap!"

Less than two minutes after Mi Lu reported, he saw Chi Hu’s squad not only didn’t retreat, but launched a fierce assault...

Lurking in the bushes, Gray Wolf, like a hunting alpha, fired his RPK, initiating ’Wolf Howl’. Immediately, his surrounding Wolf Pack, at the moment when the enemies checking the bodies were suppressed by machine gun fire, fiercely pounced out...

Four assault men with automatic rifles launched the attack from four different directions, emptying a magazine each before quickly fading into the darkness, just before the enemy could counterattack.

The first wave of the assault took down two enemies and severely wounded two...

Just as the battle erupted, the two supporting squads about 500 meters away suddenly spread out and began to rush forward to support the ambushed team.

Mountain Eagle did not expect that even after he had warned them, Chi Hu’s people were still so reckless...

However, as he looked carefully, he noticed the assaulting ’Wolf Pack’ under the lead of the alpha wolf executed a small-scale maneuver and fiercely hit the flank of one of the support squads.

The two sides clashed fiercely within a distance of about 40 meters, but since Gray Wolf held the initiative in the attack, the supporting squad suffered.

Seeing one of their own fall, the attacked support squad resisted the Wolf Pack’s onslaught with a fierce counterattack...

While trying to hold off Gray Wolf and his team, they also called the other support squad and the first attacked squad to quickly enclose from two directions.

But Gray Wolf’s team, truly like a Wolf Pack, realizing a forceful attack was futile, decisively chose the machine gunner Gray Wolf to cover their retreat, commanding his comrades to start pulling back.

Moreover, their retreat direction just misaligned with the enclosing teams, escaping the encirclement half a minute before the blockade was complete.

Following this, they again ’bit’ into one of the enclosing squads, with four men and Gray Wolf performing a textbook-like rolling retreat.

Mountain Eagle had faced many formidable opponents, but he had never seen such sharp battlefield responsiveness and maneuverability.

Crouching behind a tombstone in the cemetery, Mountain Eagle watched the battle across the road in the bush...

If he weren’t sure there were no other drones in the sky, he might suspect that ’Gray Wolf’ was also cheating.

Too sharp!

Within a radius of about 500 meters, this guy danced on the edge of a knife, repeatedly brushing past the enemy, and each time he managed to rip something off them.

Although his Wolf Pack also took some damage, two assault men were lightly wounded by enemy bullets during the maneuver, but looking at the result...

It was 5 against 20, yet they did not appear at a disadvantage.

The skirmish lasted for about 5 minutes, then the group with more people, realizing they were falling behind in situational awareness on the battlefield, voluntarily started to retreat towards the edge of the highway, preparing to complete their mission...

Mountain Eagle didn’t know the exact identity of these people, but from their method of searching bodies, he could guess they were after the bodies of the United States Marine Corps.

Instructing Victoria to send photos to the United States Embassy was what Mountain Eagle had asked for; strictly speaking, these people were responding to Mountain Eagle’s ’invitation’, using it as a key prop to establish ’deterrence’ against the opponent.

Watching the opponents in the bush, confronting Gray Wolf and his team across several hundred meters, slowly retreating...

Mountain Eagle, grinning, commanded the Sergeant System to produce two relatively powerful ’Thermal Pressure Hand Grenades’, then used duct tape to pick up hundreds of small stones from the ground, avoiding the handles, and wrapped two layers around the tea-cup-sized Thermal Pressure Hand Grenades...

Then he had Crow land beside him, and controlled Crow’s claws to grasp the two Hand Grenades.

"Crow made sure the Thermo-baric Hand Grenade’s safety pin was attached to its claws, and Mountain Eagle carefully pulled the pin, so that the moment Crow released its claws over the enemy, the grenades would drop on the enemy’s heads.

If controlled well on height and precision, these grenades might explode about a meter above the ground, maximizing damage.

Honestly, this was the first time Mountain Eagle had used this tactic in reality, and even he was a bit afraid.

The quality of the Sergeant System’s products was definitely guaranteed, but Crow had never been used like this outside of the ’game’, and even within the game, it was not recommended to do so.

Thus, after setting it up, Mountain Eagle quickly controlled Crow to soar and hover above the enemy.

When the enemy retreated towards the roadside, through Crow’s vision, Mountain Eagle noticed that Gray Wolf stubbornly maneuvered again, halting near the shrubs about 80 meters south of the enemy...

Feeling that these guys might mount another attack, Mountain Eagle decisively held the radio and whispered: "Mi Lu, can you get that Gray Wolf to keep some distance?

I’m worried I might hurt them if I can’t control myself."

Hearing this, Mi Lu immediately contacted Odin, then curiously asked, "Where are you?"

Mountain Eagle scoffed and replied, "I’m just across the road from those chaps circling the bodies. I also know Chi Hu’s men are about 80 meters south.

Do they think they’re invincible?

The enemy has set up fire points on both sides, they’ll face a head-on hammering the moment they expose themselves."

Mi Lu did not speak for Gray Wolf, but curiously asked, "So, what’s your plan?

These new guys are well-trained and fully equipped!

You only have 5 people..."

Mountain Eagle, seeing that Gray Wolf had no intention of retreating but seemed ready for action, sighed in annoyance, and held a Shock Bomb in his left hand and the handle of a VSS in his right...

......

Major Kane had not expected to encounter such formidable enemies just upon arrival; his elite squadron of 20 men immediately lost three and four were severely wounded, while they were just 5.

The rest pulled back to a position near the road, creating a layered defensive line.

Using a bush as cover and through night vision goggles, Major Kane squeezed the radio and said, "Firestorm, plant the Incendiary Bomb on the body piles, let’s complete the mission..."

Just as a stocky figure appeared from the bushes, pouring gasoline from a cola bottle onto the bodies, he suddenly heard a flapping sound overhead...

Almost instinctively, the elites aimed their guns towards the sound, and then someone saw something large and dark dropping from above...

"Boom"

"Boom"

Two Thermal Pressure Hand Grenades went off explosively in the middle of their formation...

To be fair, Thermo-baric Bombs have reduced effects in open spaces, and given their size, their power was honestly average.

But that doesn’t mean the impact wave and shrapnel effects weren’t deadly.

Normal Thermo-baric Bombs have smooth casings, but with a little modification by Mountain Eagle, they became deadly weapons with a minimum kill radius of 15 meters.

After the orange flashes, a thick smoke followed, and the high-pressure wave sent shrapnel and stones flying in all directions...

Several gunmen within close proximity were instantly taken down, with others groaning in pain as they were hit by flying stones.

The moment the explosion occurred, Mountain Eagle stood up from his hideout and fiercely threw the Shock Bomb he was holding...

With the Shock Bomb’s explosion causing flashes and loud noises, Mountain Eagle, advancing from behind cover, pulled the trigger...

"Da-da, da-da..."

Responsible for lighting the fire, ’Firestorm’ sat on the ground, a 9mm subsonic bullet hitting his body causing him to reel backward violently, the second bullet went through his chin and exited his occiput.

A slightly dazed gunman was shouting loudly, trying to locate his comrades’ positions, as two bullets consecutively hit his ribs, precision-avoiding the bulletproof plates and penetrating his body.

Knowing his death was imminent, the gunman instinctively looked towards Mountain Eagle’s direction, wanting to loudly warn his teammates but unable to make a sound...

And Mountain Eagle’s harvest continued...

Thermal Pressure Bombs led the assault, Shock Bomb provided preliminary cover, with Mountain Eagle shooting and downing three men, the others hadn’t even located him.

Not until the fourth gunman was shot and stubbornly retaliated in Mountain Eagle’s direction did the survivors finally snap to realization.

Major Kane pushed away his night vision goggles, vigorously rubbed his eyes, and gripping the radio yelled, "Rock, Kenmu cover, everyone else retreat, retreat..."

The moment the opponents’ machine guns started, Mountain Eagle ceased firing and sprinted northwards for several meters, then diagonally entered the shrubbery...

Passing by an enemy corpse, Mountain Eagle crouched to inspect it, discovered it was equipped with full NATO gear, and grinned as he picked up the enemy’s radio...

"Run fast, I’m coming for you..."
