When I Opened My Eyes, I Was in the Middle of the Battlefield

At the report of the sighting of the RPG-7, Jake’s face hardened.

He reflexively pulled up the hem of his oversized coat and asked as he gripped the handle of his MP7 gun.

“Make sure you’re holding the RPG or it’s still in the vehicle.”

– Appears to be still inside the vehicle.

“few? Are you in the car?”

-It seems that all 4 people got off.

Jake’s eyebrows furrowed at the quick communication with Rachel.

‘Damn it… … .’

It didn’t feel right.

The RPG-7 in the car was clearly intended for attack, not intimidation.

Enemies with weapons also had to be killed. His instincts were giving him a strong warning.

But I couldn’t kill them all and leave the scene.

I couldn’t even give an order like that.

Killing an unarmed enemy without a weapon is a clear war crime.

Even if they have the intent to kill.

They were never to be killed unless they struck first or took up arms.

Also, I don’t think that’s going to happen, but what Rachel witnessed could have been a tool for use in a quarry or lumberyard rather than an RPG-7.

This was because unexpected misunderstandings often occurred in the operation field.

There were also frequent misfires among allies.

In the end, all Jake could come up with was a standard answer.

“Car No. 1, continue to keep an eye on it, and report after self-response in the event of a situation.”

-1 car, good reception.

And right around the time when John, who is in charge of the UN OCHA investigation team and is having a meal with a local member of parliament, is about to inform him of the current situation.

-Car number 2, this is car number 3.

The radio came from Marcus, who was in charge of the back door to the kitchen.

-One silver modern car is stopped in the direction of the back door.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jake’s mouth opened.

“Is the enemy or weapon confirmed?”

-It is not possible to confirm in detail, but it is understood that all passengers are in the front and rear seats.

“… … .”

Jake’s teeth clenched together.

It was now impossible to just swoop down and kill those with RPG-7s and escape. I had to attack back and forth at the same time to neutralize the enemy and get out as quickly as possible.

But even that was impossible.

One side didn’t hold a weapon, and the other side couldn’t even confirm how many there were.

A preemptive strike would be taken as a war crime.

Then you will be expelled from the External Cooperation Agency’s execution team.

Otherwise, I would have to escape, but there was no way they would let me go smoothly. If you leave the building without any cover, you will end up in a beehive.

Jake’s eyes quickly returned to the restaurant.

The location of doors and windows, walls and pillars that will serve as cover, tables and chairs, and even the kitchen inside.

Reflexively, situational alternatives were pictured in his mind.

‘If you have to escape outside, you have to break through the lobby window while suppressing either the front or back door… Otherwise, it would be standard to hold out in the kitchen and wait for support.’

At the same time, he even approached John, the head of the UN OCHA investigation team, and said.

“Suspicious vehicles are parked at the front and back gates. Call the local police or military and ask for security, but send as many troops as you can.”

“… Wait, what is that all of a sudden?”

It was time for John to speak as he looked at the district councilor of Camarnia, who had his hair shaved from the forehead, sitting across from him.

Jake continued as if he didn’t care.

“And in case of an emergency, you have to run into the kitchen, find a safe structure, hide yourself, and quickly follow the instructions of the G&G security team.”

“Hey, Jake. Give me an answer. You’re having dinner with a local councilor here, aren’t you? what nonsense… … ?”

While the local councilor, who does not speak English, tries to smile while looking at Jake and John.

“Did everyone understand?”

Before he knew it, Jake asked, looking at the remaining UN OCHA investigation team.

“… … .”

Except for John, the members of the investigation team blinked as they looked at each other in bewilderment.

It was because he had not yet felt the danger.

Moreover, strictly speaking, this place was no different from a green zone with no danger.

It’s not far from the government office or hotel, and it’s a building on the Caspian Sea with quite a floating population, and the local councilor was also there.

Even if that wasn’t the case, a few locals and visitors were eating.

Of course, those who had been to civil war or danger zones thought it might be dangerous, but as John was still sitting on his back, he had to be quiet.

And soon John, the person in charge, opened his mouth.

“Hey, Jake. I am a person who has been to North Korea. Dictator Kim, you know? Even though he was watched by his soldiers, he walked around undeterred. therefore… … .”

The moment Jake tries to go into action instead of words.

Jose quickly intervened.

“You would have known if you had been to North Korea yourself, right? don’t you know? There are no crazy Muslim extremists in the country of that piggy dictator. However, several people are already waiting at the front and back entrances of this restaurant. And with an RPG suitable for blowing up this table.”

“… … .”

“By the way, even if the team leader’s fist doesn’t explode like an RPG warhead, it will be just as hard. If you get hit, it will hurt like hell. I hope you think and speak.”

It was when Jose warned John, who hesitated and panicked.

An unexpected sound reached everyone’s ears.

Todo! To Do Do Do! To Do Do Do!

It was an MP7 with a silencer attached.

The noise was significantly less than that of an assault rifle, so it wasn’t a surprise, but everyone with normal hearing flinched.

Because I knew what that gunshot meant.

shooting.

That is, it was an emergency.

“Everyone, go to the kitchen and ask for help! right now!”

Jake yelled, and sent a hand signal to Jose as he headed in Kang-tae’s direction.

guard and wait.

It meant protecting the UN OCHA investigation team that was running late.

While Jose understands and quickly leads the people.

Ride on and on!

A completely different, ear-piercing gunshot rang out from outside.

It was clearly an assault rifle shot.

At the same time, Kang Tae’s voice was transmitted over the radio.

-This is car number 1. The enemy has been killed by aiming the RPG, and the enemy is firing back! Reinforcements have arrived, and the current estimate is approximately… … .

The moment I was talking.

Too gaga gag gag gag-!

Clink! Quagga-! Tang! Tadadak.

The restaurant’s windows shattered, and the noise of smashing furnishings exploded in all directions.

“town!”

Parbat and Jake also reflexively fell down.

It was because he knew very well without checking what was destroying the restaurant. A machine gun of at least 7.62 mm.

As expected, Kang-tae’s answer came out of the in-ear receiver.

– One North Korean type 73 anti-aircraft machine gun found! About 30 enemies!

After that, gunshots rang out.

Jake lay on his stomach and took out his cell phone, but Marcus’s radio continued.

-This is car number 3! About 20 enemies are deploying machine guns at the back gate! Unable to secure a retreat!

Jake, clenching his teeth tightly, hurriedly dialed the radio while making a call to his superior, Al Jamash’s G&G Corp Southwest Asia.

“Get to the kitchen ASAP! Fight back there!”

At the same time, the call was connected with the Southwest Asia branch of G&G Corp.

-… RPG!

Along with Kangtae’s loud voice, an explosion soon filled the room.

aaa!

Kururu – To-do-duk.

Behind the roar, dust rose, stones and all sorts of debris spread out.

At the same time, Jake’s body, which received the shock wave, was also sprinkled with white dust for a while.

“Damn it… … !”

Jake reflexively pointed his MP7 at the entrance, even as he opened his eyes, which were reflexively closed and stuffy with dust.

My vision was blurry and I heard some tinnitus in my ears, but I was able to distinguish between friends and family and was able to deal with enemies.

If any form other than Kangtae or Rachel enters, they will be killed immediately.

Of course, in this situation, there was a high possibility that he too would be killed sooner or later, but he held the MP7 straight and aimed.

To kill even one more guy before he dies.

And around the time I pressed the radio transmission button to know the situation at the front gate.

-… Jake? What’s going on?!

A voice came from the cell phone lying on the floor.

It was the voice of Ron Myers, General Manager of G&G Corp’s Southwest Asia Branch, but a more welcome sound followed.

-after… This is car number 1, they’re approaching the front door.

It was Kang Tae’s words.

At the same time, Jake’s vision seemed to brighten a little.

I was prepared for death right up until the moment before, but if he was still alive, I still had a chance.

Jake hurriedly grabbed the phone that had fallen to the floor.

* * *

Around 4 am, Arlington, Virginia, USA.

Tiriri- Tiri-ri-

Wait a minute for the bell to ring.

Robert, director of the Department of External Affairs, woke up three hours after falling asleep.

Robert, with only one eye open, picked up his phone and checked the screen, then struggled to raise his upper body to answer the call.

It was because the number of the duty room of the Foreign Cooperation Bureau was printed on the screen.

“… What is it?”

It was when I was still awake and asked a business in a heavy voice.

An urgent voice burst through the speakers.

– Chief! Charlie’s team is currently under attack from Branch Manager Myers, and he asks for immediate support through the local military and police… … .

“Now, wait.”

When it comes to Charlie’s entourage, I was referring to the work of Jake and Rachel from G&G Corp in Camarnia.

Robert’s eyes lit up.

“Explain again in detail, what did you say?”

– Oh, yes! I’ll tell you what I recorded. While the UN OCHA investigation team was dining with a local lawmaker, 4 to 50 people, presumed to be radical Muslims, surrounded the front and back doors of the restaurant and were attacking them with RPGs and machine guns. We are currently responding inside the restaurant, but we have requested that the bar, which is highly likely to be wiped out, immediately mobilize nearby units or local military police who can be mobilized.

“… … !”

Robert hesitated.

It was because there were words I didn’t want to hear in the long explanation that popped out.

Radical Muslims, 40-50 people, RPGs, machine guns.

To put it simply, it was the worst situation, but I couldn’t believe it easily.

It was because it was only the first day since G&G Corp Charlie’s team went to Camarnia.

Moreover, the official schedule was all events in a safe green zone, and a crisis to face the enemy was likely to occur in a few days, not today.

For example, when conducting field research around the suburbs or slums.

But, you’ve been under attack since day one?

Robert asked with an incomprehensible face.

“Are you sure? Who contacted you?”

-It is said that team leader Jake Russell did it directly to the branch manager.

Robert’s brow wrinkled.

Ron, the branch manager, must have already carried out all the verification procedures.

It was a certainty.

“damn… … .”

More than anything, this situation was a problem. It was too serious.

There was a possibility that even Kang-tae, who was no different from a human weapon, would not be able to overcome it.

It was because the numbers were quite menacing.

Not 1, 20 people, 4, 50 people.

It was not the rebels who were frightened of the attack and ran away, but the fanatics who threw themselves into suicide bomb vests and threw themselves into martyrdom.

Fortunately, you won’t be able to use strategy or tactics, but if you had 50 lunatics, it wouldn’t be too much trouble to occupy a restaurant.

It’s because they’re the ones who throw their comrades into cannon fodder or intentionally commit suicide.

To get out of this situation, you will have to either escape from 50 people or kill all 50 people.

After making his judgment, Robert quickly gave instructions.

“… Contact Camarnia immediately and tell them to mobilize the army or the police as quickly as possible.”

-Can I use a broker that worked for Line?

“What broker?! Just call us on the State Department line! This is not an execution team, it’s a matter of people’s lives at stake!”

– Oh, I see.

“And whatever mercenaries can be recruited in Camarnia, send them all to the execution team!”

-Yes, chief.

“Hang up and move right away!”

Tak, Robert hung up the phone and let out a long snort.

And the moment I was about to get out of bed.

Unpleasantness passed through my mind.

It wasn’t just because of the dangerous situation of Charlie’s team, including Jake, Rachel, and Kangtae.

That was the cause of this situation.

‘Why would those lunatics do this in broad daylight… … .’

Of course, it didn’t make sense.

It was possible.

As crazy as they are, they’re going to shoot and bomb regardless of the green zone.

But radical Muslims in Camarnia were much smaller in number than in Azerbaijan, let alone in Iran.

almost point-like form.

There were no giant groups leading to the famous Taliban, Al Qaeda or ISIL in the Middle East.

There wasn’t even enough population.

In addition, religions were diverse and their power was weak.

Sunni Islam, Shia Islam, Russian Orthodox, Christianity, and Judaism were divided, and even the few believers were separated into each region.

But, 40 to 50 martyrs among the few radical Muslims storming the restaurant?

It was difficult to understand easily.

Not even the usual AK-type rifles or machetes, but rather heavily armed situations.

For the purpose of killing a UN OCHA investigation team, not UN forces, it was too much. The same was true even considering the mercenaries under guard.

It didn’t look like simple terrorism.

It had to be seen as a very well-prepared affair.

‘… The chances of all of this being a coincidence are slim.’

Wait a moment for Robert’s forehead to crinkle.

An inference was made.

“… The team may have been exposed.”
