Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger
Chapter 515 - 479: Ambush from Ten Sides
CHAPTER 515: CHAPTER 479: AMBUSH FROM TEN SIDES
Little Tom led thirty men to land about one kilometer upstream of the Brown Bear Camp, then circled around in the woods, preparing to launch a raid on the north side of the camp.
He still didn’t know what had happened in Russian Mission Town and only wanted to take down Brown Bear Camp, not only to vent his frustration but also to force the natives to search for the two giant wolves, so he could report back to the boss behind the scenes.
As long as the commotion was big enough, even if there were some flaws in the mission, he would be able to claim he had tried his best when facing the employer’s questions.
Little Tom couldn’t possibly conceive that all his moves were under the surveillance of Mountain Eagle...
From the moment they landed upstream, Crow had already locked onto them.
When they entered the patrol area of several Big Dogs, they had already come into the view of people inside the camp.
The nights in Alaska are not pitch-black, so Little Tom’s group didn’t even have night vision goggles.
They used the starlight to successfully navigate 3 kilometers through the woods and arrived at the north side of the camp.
The woods on the north side had been partially cut down due to the camp’s expansion, making it sparser, and because Little Ruby had been planning to expand the greenhouse, a large area of land had been cleared there, and a huge amount of construction materials were piled up.
Now, 6 members of the Alaska State Police STER team were stationed inside cover made from construction materials, while another 4 occupied several high points inside the camp.
When Little Tom led his team to approach the edge of the camp, they heard music and laughter from the natives.
Separated by the main house, Little Tom couldn’t see the happy scene, but he saw Mountain Eagle...
The man he hated to the core was slumped in a lounger, with a small charcoal stove in front of him, grilling and joking with two ladies at his side.
There were no defenses around, not even patrols, which surprised Little Tom and, moreover, displeased him.
It wasn’t that there was anything particularly strange, but because he felt that Mountain Eagle simply hadn’t taken his warning seriously – to put it more bluntly, he felt that Mountain Eagle completely looked down on him.
Little Tom gestured for his comrades to spread out and start moving towards the camp in an encircling formation.
The group of thirty-plus spread out at a distance and slowly approached the area piled with building materials under the cover of night...
Just as most gunmen left the woods, the laughter and chatter in the camp suddenly stopped, several large searchlights suddenly lit up, and at the same time, more than a dozen Flash Lights turned on in the construction area, flashing high-intensity lights that made the gunmen instinctively shut their eyes...
"Put down your guns, put down your guns, we are the Alaska State Police, everyone put down your guns..."
Miranda never abandoned her professional mindset, as an elite trained within the system, it was hard for her to act like the average Mercenary who would just start shooting without a word.
Mountain Eagle saw the situation from a distance and knew that Miranda had missed the best opportunity, so he helped Daria to stand up and picked up a VSS, then walked down the tent platform and sat down beside a barricade made of sandbags.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
Sure enough, as soon as Mountain Eagle sat down, the group led by Little Tom initiated their attack...
The searchlights and Flash Lights interfered with their vision, so their shooting was wildly inaccurate, but the few STER members hiding in the construction cover were still pinned down, crying out loudly.
Daria, sitting next to Mountain Eagle with an UMP45, squeezed her boss to the space below the platform and called through the radio, "Are you guys useless?"
After that, she pulled the trigger and sprayed a barrage of bullets at the enemy a hundred meters away.
As Daria was reloading, Mountain Eagle pulled the trigger, and a 9mm special sniper bullet traveled a hundred meters and hit a gunman holding an AR15...
Disturbed by his physical condition, the bullet, originally aimed at the head, hit the gunman’s abdomen, causing him to fall to the ground with a piercing scream after running a couple of steps.
At the same time, the 4 STER members at high points in the camp opened fire...
With the high ground advantage and the enemy exposed, these STER members, even with average military literacy, had definitely sufficient shooting skills.
"Bang"
"Bang"
...
...
Four gunshots later, four gunmen instantly fell.
At this point, even the dumbest Little Tom realized that he had walked into an ambush; he aimed his gun towards the direction of the Flash Lights and fired while retreating, shouting loudly, "Retreat, retreat, get back into the woods, team 2 swing south and avoid the light range...
Sniper, take down those searchlights!"
As these people retreated in disarray, three individuals stood up from under the saw machine in the southern warehouse of the camp...
With Tiffany as the spearhead, Miranda on the left, and Red Sparrow on the right, they each held an UMP45 and used the messy pile of lumber as cover to launch a flank attack on the enemy.
The gunmen trying to flee and regroup were instantly hit hard...
"Da da da..."
Tiffany, standing behind a pile of logs, emptied a magazine at several attackers...
"Changing magazines..."
As Tiffany yelled, Miranda and Red Sparrow on both sides fired and moved forward, suppressing and taking down a few opponents, then passed by Tiffany to take new positions.
Miranda pulled the trigger rhythmically, hitting two fleeing enemies and...
"Red Sparrow..."
Standing 15 meters away from her, Red Sparrow stood up and emptied the bullets in the magazine, then grabbed a grenade launcher...
"Thump thump thump..."
Six grenades exploded on the edge of the woods, blasting several fleeing gunmen into howling misery.
Little Tom and his so-called "Team 2" hadn’t had the chance to regroup when they were paralyzed by the three Ladies.
After gaining the upper hand completely, those STER team members, who hadn’t appeared very brave, also began to exert their strength.
The high-point shooters kept pulling the trigger, hunting down the fleeing gunmen just like they would hunt animals on any other day.
At the same time, 6 STER team members hidden behind building material barricades charged out, wanting to join in beating the fallen dogs...
Miranda saw what was happening and, clutching her radio, called out: "Don’t chase..."
Just as Miranda’s voice fell, several gunshots rang out from the woods...
The huge searchlights went out instantly, leaving only dozens of Flash Lights flashing towards the north.
"Sniper..."
Tiffany sensed something was wrong the moment she heard the noise, sprinting two steps before rushing over to Miranda’s side and pulling her down behind a stack of logs...
The instant the two fell, two bullets hit the ground where Miranda had just been standing.
"Hummingbird, lights out..."
Although Miranda fell dusty and disheveled, she maintained her composure and gave orders to the outside.
With the command given, all lights in the camp extinguished, plunging it into darkness.
"There’s a sniper among the enemy. Everyone, return to your positions. People on high ground, be cautious and conceal yourselves."
Little Tom was enraged, as that round of ambush and assault had cost him a third of his manpower.
And he had roughly figured out the personnel deployment of the camp; his side still had the numerical advantage.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
...
...
Following Little Tom’s lead, as his men started shooting from the shelter of the forest, an ambush battle directed by Miranda gradually turned into a standoff.
Mountain Eagle showed great patience, but since the battle began, Daria’s curses had not stopped...
In her mind, turning a battle into this, despite possessing an absolute advantage, was an extremely incompetent performance.
Compared to Daria, Mountain Eagle was patient. He didn’t agree with Miranda’s approach either, but he respected the professional habits of this woman, as well as those of the STER team members.
He couldn’t expect these official personnel to pull the trigger on others without any hesitation...
Under the limitations of professional habits, to leave one-third of the enemy’s manpower behind after a raid and press them to the periphery without allowing them to advance an inch was enough!
Bodyguards don’t need to be too aggressive. The more professional Miranda acted, the more Mountain Eagle appreciated her.
Miranda seemed to know what Mountain Eagle was thinking as well. She, Tiffany, and Red Sparrow moved back and forth through the camp like firefighters, the pre-arranged cover providing them with adequate protection, and simultaneously making life extremely difficult for Little Tom and his men.
A charge was definitely out of the question, and once caught in the Flash Lights, they would become sitting ducks.
However, a prolonged standoff was also untenable, so Little Tom chose to split his forces. He ordered some of his men to continue putting pressure on the camp, while he led others in a detour eastward, trying to find a breakthrough on the eastern side.
If they could break into the camp, they would completely disrupt the defense.
Mountain Eagle almost immediately spotted the enemy’s movement and was about to remind Miranda when Hummingbird, who had been watching the computer, grabbed an AT4 rocket launcher and jogged to the side of the pier...
Hummingbird was probably around 1.5 meters tall...
Watching the little girl running with the AT4, Mountain Eagle shook his head with a chuckle and asked, "What did Miranda set up on the east side?"
Daria pouted and said, "Remember those beehives that Luna and the others poked at?"
As Daria spoke, Hummingbird fired the rocket...
In movies, you can see the trajectory of a rocket launch clearly, but in reality, you can only see a trail, followed by an explosion.
The armor-piercing projectile launched by Hummingbird wasn’t ideal for causing casualties, but the vibration and intimidating effect of the rocket’s explosion forced Little Tom and his men, who were approaching the eastern edge, to fall back a dozen meters inward.
Balang, who had been trailing them from a distance, darted away with his wife as if stung by a needle.
Immediately afterward, Little Tom heard a buzzing sound like that of bombers...
"FUCK..."
"Ah..."
Hummingbird heard the ruckus inside the forest and, grinning from ear to ear, started bouncing towards Mountain Eagle, laughing as she said, "I set up more than a dozen honeycombs over there; those guys are done for..."
Mountain Eagle watched the proud Hummingbird deviate from the prescribed route and shouted loudly, "Get down..."
"Snap"
As soon as he heard the gunshot, Hummingbird’s body jolted and then she plopped down on the ground.
Seeing Hummingbird dazed by the shot, Mountain Eagle roared, "Get down..."
Immediately after, smoke bombs and Jump Mines strapped to the 5 Big Dobermans in the forest were all triggered...
"Tiffany, Miranda, pull back the line. Leave the rest to me..."
Mountain Eagle was screaming when a series of Jump Mines exploded, utterly shattering the last iota of the enemy’s will to attack...
