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

“Have you checked all of the body’s personal items?”

Before leaving the house with 12 dead bodies, Jake asked as if to check one last time.

Any other place I would have passed the SSE (Sensitive Site Exploitation: Information Gathering) was over, but this place had too many dubious things to skip without double-checking.

For example, the ability to install takeover wire and lighting mines and respond to CQB tactics, the use of firearms such as FN’s SCAR-H and SIG SAUER’s MCX, which are difficult to obtain in Congo, plus mercenaries and UN employees Except for the fact that half of the corpses are white people, which is rare in this area.

It was all difficult to comprehend.

More than anything else, Jake was concerned.

‘Maybe it’s guys like Sergei. Evil beings who want national overthrow or chaos in Africa beyond simple terrorism… … .’

I looked at Kang-tae and Jose, who had entrusted SSE, and fortunately, a satisfactory answer came back.

“Yes, I robbed everything, including my belongings. Don’t worry.”

“Lee turns her socks and panties inside out… I thought I was going to open the anus like this.”

José smiled at the end of his words, but Kang-tae was serious about doing anything.

It was because he wanted to uncover the identity of the body as much as Jake. Of course, it was because there was a very high probability that it was related to Pikal, rather than grandiose reasons such as US security or world peace.

Of course, if you look at it closely, it was to prevent the end of the world, but Kang-tae’s beliefs were not that abstract.

I happened to be like this, but in the end, living well is just a dream.

Meanwhile, Jake nodded.

“Then let’s go, to Mike Victor 37.”

This was also one of the buildings suspected of being the command and control room that had been culled in advance.

3 places in total.

I had already identified one of them as a decent accommodation or living space, so I moved on to the next one.

In terms of the military, it was to catch a high-ranking officer or a commander on duty.

– One Charlie, five Charlies here. Mike Victor 37… No specific routes and destinations.

“Charlie Hana, good reception.”

After Jake’s brief reply, each carried a duffel bag full of SSEs.

Weighs from a minimum of 10 kg to 3 or 40 kg.

Jake strapped on a duffel bag full of heavy military electronics, and started moving, carrying the rest one by one.

iron, iron, iron.

Perhaps because of the heavy weight, the mud sticks to the soles of each walker.

It wasn’t long before we arrived at the building we named Mike Victor 37. This building is smaller than the first one, but there was a sentry sleeping at the front door, and there were quite a few fuel tanks outside for the generator, and there was also a car that seemed to be used as a personal vehicle.

Put simply, a place where a high-ranking officer is likely to stay.

This time, Kang Tae, who was in the lead, lowered the HK416 and instead pulled out the greatsword on his side and moved.

Swoop.

Since he was in the lead, he was carrying a relatively light 10kg duffel bag, so his movements were not slow.

Whiik- Fuwook!

The tip of the sword went into the pit of the stomach quickly and accurately, and at the same time it was pulled out, destroying organs.

Chuck, the sentry flinched for a moment as the blade came out of his body.

In a small guardhouse that could be sheltered from the rain, he collapsed as if he were sitting down and died.

Kang-tae, who retrieved the greatsword, radioed while wiping the dripping night vision lens with his hand.

“This is three Charlies, the front gate is secured.”

At the same time, while checking the building and being vigilant, the rest of the personnel moved along with the radio that they would depart.

After that, all operations were carried out as planned and trained.

A CQB tactic in which external and rear guard personnel are deployed, enter the interior, search the compartments in turn, and subdue the enemy.

I had done it before, but this time it was so easy that it couldn’t be compared.

It was because the rebels, waking up from their sleep, did not even think about finding weapons, let alone counterattack, and died in a panic, spitting out a word or two in the local language.

And the only thing left is a fairly large bedroom.

Whether it was alcohol or drugs, they captured a person who looked like a commander who slept uncontrollably without knowing what it was.

It was time to wrap the tape around his mouth and tie his limbs together.

-What the f*ck… … .

Marcus’s bass roared through the headset, followed by an explanation before Jake could even ask.

-One Charlie, two Charlies here. We found three dead women in the room opposite.

“… … .”

At this, José, who was wearing plastic handcuffs on the prisoner’s hands and feet, frowned.

It was because the guy who was still bound in a daze was naked.

At a glance, I guessed the situation before and after.

“This damn baby will be done.”

“… … .”

At Jose’s words, Jake also responded with a frown.

“… This is Charlie, come out without weapons or other threats.”

-Charlie two, good reception.

After that answer, Marcus and Kangtae, who had searched the room in pairs, returned to the bedroom together.

Both of them didn’t look good.

It was because I had confirmed with my own eyes that the bodies in the room across from me had died in a bad way.

Soon Kang-tae muttered Korean with a sigh.

“Actually, it’s really f*cked up… … .”

While playing Rareple, I had seen episodes of war crimes such as the abuse and killing of civilians, but it was the first time I had actually seen them up close.

Of course, the steel mental held the spirit, but it did not relieve other emotions.

Simply put, unpleasant or disgusting means clear.

‘but… Lucky so far… … .’

Kang-tae, with a furrowed brow, recalled his life as a mercenary for more than half a year before he knew it.

Even in the midst of being shot, passing out, undergoing surgery and rehabilitation, I hadn’t seen a scene like today.

It finally came out of a mountain village in Congo.

Jake, with a hard face, came into Kang-tae’s gaze as he recalled a momentary thought.

‘Is that why Jake wants world peace or something… … .’

If he had served in the 75th Ranger Regiment, including Special Forces and Delta Forces, he must have seen similar situations countless times.

It was to the extent that it was known that he did the most real operations in the world.

At the same time, it was a time when I thought that it was worth it even though I was like myself.

Swish- chin.

Jake opened his mouth as he slung the prisoner over his shoulder like a load.

“We have completed securing the SSE and prisoners, and we are moving right away to destroy the technical.”

“… All right.”

Everyone exited the room behind Marcus’ words and headed to the garage where the technical was parked.

In addition to common Japanese pick-up trucks, there were several technicals that remodeled the top of agricultural machinery such as tractors and installed miniguns and vulcan guns, and even armored vehicles that seemed to have been captured from the regular army.

Among them, after Kang-tae took care of the guard who fell asleep in the car.

The remaining personnel stood guard and began to plant the explosives Marcus had brought with them.

Waiting for the rather bland time to pass, Jake’s ear heard the radio he had been waiting for.

-One Charlie, two Charlies here. Explosives installed.

“Here is Charlie. As of the current time, move to a safe area and prepare to leave.”

With no prior information and no time to prepare, everything went smoothly.

To be precise, the enemy was too incompetent.

Except for killing 12 people presumed to be special forces in the middle, the infiltration was not exposed, and there were no injuries or deaths.

Also, the village where it rained was still immersed in darkness and quiet.

Eventually, the line connected to the explosives was untied for tens of meters, and it was time to retreat, and all personnel hid behind cover.

“blasting.”

Jake said, and Marcus pressed the on/off switch while repeating the blast.

After a small clicking sound.

Quagga gagaaa!

The garage exploded.

Vibration spread with a roar, and at the same time, flames exploded.

The heat spread as the place became brighter.

By the time you feel the power to forget that it is raining.

Thududuk, thump. kugung.

All kinds of debris and fragments from the explosion started pouring down.

By the time everyone realized it had exploded successfully, Jake gave the final instructions at the site.

“Everyone, leave immediately.”

* * *

The exit was as expected.

It became noisy due to a sudden explosion, but it was not possible to properly cope with the rainy situation at night.

Out of several thousand battalions combined, not a single one pursued us.

There was no such thing as Obundaegijo or Special Forces QRF (Quick Reaction Forces) in the Republic of Korea Army at all.

By the time I ran for a few minutes without stopping.

-head… … ! Charlie three! Whoa… Why don’t you slow down a bit? Charlie’s team and our distance are too far, Delta Net is spreading.

I heard Andrei’s breathy voice in my ears.

Since he is in charge of Delta 1, Delta 4 must be the team members that used to work together.

It was just when I slowed down and looked back.

“… … !”

I spotted Jake following right behind me.

A duffel bag weighing over 30 kg of SSE was slung on his back, a prisoner weighing easily over 70 kg was carried on his back on his left shoulder, and he was firmly gripping a firearm with his right hand.

Of course, it’s 100kg. I can lift it with squats and deadlifts, but that was only at the gym.

Running through the mountains, I couldn’t even lift something that wasn’t fixed like that.

When you wonder where the hell is the limit.

I stopped.

It was because Jake’s chest, unlike usual, swelled and sank beyond the green light-emitting night vision glasses.

means shortness of breath.

However, looking at his tightly closed mouth, it didn’t look like he was going to say that he was having a hard time.

As expected, he instructed briefly.

-Charlie 3, keep going. The distance to the enemy is still small.

He was right.

I ran as hard as I could for several minutes, but at most I was about 600 to 700 meters away.

There was little chance of that, but it was such a distance that if they followed our trail, they would catch up quickly.

It will take 10 hours to go back.

As team leader, Jake seemed to have the worst in mind.

But again, that didn’t make sense.

I had been hiking for more than 10 hours even in the rain, had been through several battles in the village, and had been carrying various burdens from SSE.

Of course, training during active duty would be more difficult, but they were all retired men in their 30s.

Jake was about to turn 40.

Whoops, whoops.

At some point, even Jake began to breathe heavily.

Because of the situation, the distance started to get farther away, so I didn’t have to look at the people behind me.

Because I must have been tired.

In the end, Jake’s voice, which seemed to have no choice, was conveyed.

-Here is Charlie Hana, all of them take a 5-minute break at their current location, and the boundary between breaks is… … .

“The three of Charlie will be on guard.”

As soon as I stepped out, a voice with a lot of breathing came back at the same time.

-okay… Thanks, Charlie Seth.

“What is it, take a break.”

I couldn’t help it.

I was the only one who wasn’t breathing hard here.

I straightened my gun and moved to a position suitable for vigilance.

The feet and the walker, which must have been blown by the rain, slowly stepped down the slope, and alerted the surroundings while announcing the location by radio.

At the same time, from a distance of about 1km, we could see the panoramic view of the village we had swept through.

Even though it was raining on a pitch-black night, there were still sparks, and the lights were turned on as if electricity had been turned on in the middle of the village.

The moment he tried to take a look at the village by pulling out the folding 3x scope he had pushed aside.

“… … !”

Something out of the ordinary appeared.

About 400~500m distance.

It was a movement not so far away.

I didn’t know if it was a person or an animal, I didn’t know if I was seeing it wrong, so I paid attention and aimed, but then I hesitated.

‘de… theory?’

It was difficult to see because of the trees and bushes, but the shape resembled a drone operating at low altitude.

The moment you turn on the infrared laser and try to aim it.

“… … !”

drone is gone

It seems to have recognized the infrared laser that was just turned on.

However, my marksman trait moved the muzzle faster than that.

I had already set the control to a single shot, and my index finger was also on the verge of entering the trigger and pressing it.

While aiming the drone, I pulled it as it was.

Turong-!

HK416’s gunfire rang softly.

It was a bit overshadowed by the sound of the rain, but it wasn’t so low that you couldn’t hear it.

enough to hear it all.

But I couldn’t help it.

It was because all of this happened in seconds, so there was no time to report.

– Three Charlies?!

I looked through the scope at Jake’s flustered voice and answered.

“… Three Charlies here, I think we hit a drone.”

– I want to see it accurately.

“At a distance of 400 to 500 meters, an object presumed to be a drone was found, aiming and shooting rising. You have to approach and check for accurate confirmation.”

-… … .

Instead of answering, the soft sound of rain is heard over the headset.

-under… I’m going crazy, f*ck. a drone?

Andrei’s curse came out, and I shook my head too.

It was because until Rachel joined our ranks, there were no pursuers in the vicinity.

I really want to collect the drone I just shot down, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it because I had to go back hundreds of meters.

You might get hit by a sniper bullet if you go there for nothing.

Eventually, Jake gave the answer.

– End power break, resume exit immediately.

I also have all sorts of luggage collected by SSE, so when I go back, whatever it is, the results will come out.

As I finished my judgment, I turned my body in the direction I was going to go.
