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

Andrei felt again the feelings he had just felt.

Surprise and admiration for Kang Tae.

‘What the hell is this bastard?’

It was because the appearance of Kang-tae, which he witnessed up close in the process of being kicked out, was not normal.

It’s more amazing than what I’ve seen and heard indirectly over the past few weeks.

Tadadadadat!

Burst-!

They fired while running, but they all got stuck without missing a single shot.

It’s not a short distance like CQB (Close Quarters Battle), but a fairly long distance over 50M.

Also, it wasn’t even in the direction the enemy was running.

Diagonal or lateral.

It had to stop in order to trigger properly.

That was basic.

It was what Andrei, a former French Foreign Legion Airborne Regiment who served in Africa and Eastern Europe, learned, and it was also the same that he learned directly in the real world.

Of course, if the enemy is coming from the front, it would be okay to run and shoot, but the side was different.

It was because the muzzle was shaking up and down, left and right.

However, Kangtae was still running, firing towards the side.

Burst! turd- empty!

Then, at a distance of 40 to 50 meters, the two rebels who were chasing them as if running were knocked down.

He was killed with only 6 bullets.

In addition, if his guess was correct, there would be no missed shots.

Since 5.56mm rifle bullets sometimes move even after being hit by 1 or 2 shots, they must have put in 3 shots out of habit.

Andrei did not see the whole battle scene.

It was a situation where one side had to be on guard, so what I witnessed was only a small part. Even so, it was about that.

Tak, Andrei asked at the timing of the pause.

“… How much did you down?”

“Eleven.”

“Eleven people?”

Andrei flinched as he asked.

There were a few rebels he saw in the process of expelling them, because he only managed to take down one or two with good hits.

I couldn’t tell if he was dead or alive.

It was because only the feeling of being hit remained, and the field of vision was somewhat reduced due to the tension of the actual battle.

In that respect, Kangtae was more like a monster.

It wasn’t just that he was excellent at marksmanship, it was because he didn’t even get a little shaken on the battlefield.

It was really unbelievable.

On the battlefield, even veterans are bound to make mistakes due to overexertion, and PTSD is not uncommon when the stress gets worse.

But Kangtae didn’t seem to have much of an impact.

Of course, there’s no way to know exactly what’s inside, but from Andrei’s point of view, it was very fine.

It was the same even when compared to myself, including the people around me who had collapsed.

“Pipe, this is a dolphin. Can I move?”

-This is a pipe. Dolphin, good to move. Rear safety secured.

In the meantime, Kang-tae put his hand on Andrei’s shoulder after finishing the radio call with Jose.

signal to move.

Andrei also let go of his thoughts and ran with Kang-tae.

This was the final stage of evacuation.

A situation where you leave the mine complex and enter the thick bush.

everything ended smoothly

To be precise, Andrei alone was admiring, surprised, and nervous, but Kang-tae moved as if he were doing his training routine.

With a click, Kangtae unfolded the navigation board in the middle of his body armor and looked away.

“Andrei, clear the way with the machete.”

“Ah, yes.”

Andrei pulled out the machete from his belt, and with Kang-tae’s cover he made a passage, cutting through thick brush and branches.

And soon I faced the team members I had been waiting for.

Rachel looking at the screen and operating a drone, and Jose sitting down with a tripod spread out as if hugging a sniper rifle.

Before he could say anything, Kang-tae put down his bag and took out the business first.

“This is the bag after SSE. How is our team leader now?”

“… It is still successfully carrying out its mission.”

“Not yet?”

Kang-tae asked again, and Rachel answered without taking her eyes off the portable monitor.

“We destroyed several technical units using grenades, and we are in a situation where we are engaged in a quick guerrilla war… The rebels have gathered more than expected.”

“Gathering? Wasn’t it chaotic?”

“It was just like that, but it has been sorted out to some extent and we are preparing to leave. maybe… There is a high possibility that it will be out in about 10 minutes.”

At those words, Andrei, who also put down his bag, tilted his head.

“Those idiots take care of themselves and even leave?”

“Perhaps the commander is excellent.”

“Rebel commander? Wasn’t it chaotic yet?”

“It wasn’t the fighting that was disorderly. It was because the internal organization was not organized, and after the engagement, the force concentration and reaction were quite fast.”

“Crazy, why is there a combat commander here?”

“Yes, he is still fighting and conducting in the T-shaped trench line.”

Kang-tae also nodded as if he hadn’t noticed, and Andrei frowned.

“trench?! Didn’t you say anything like that?”

At that, Rachel nodded as well.

“In peacetime, the trenches are covered with a lid, so I don’t think they even appeared in aerial photos. need… So, in the current situation, it seems to be used openly.”

“Can I see the trenches?”

Suddenly, Kang-tae approached Rachel and asked, and the battlefield situation was soon revealed on the portable monitor.

“ruler… here… … .”

“Oh, you made a real trench?”

There was a trench made in the shape of a ‘T’ just mentioned.

It just looked like it was made right.

The location, shape, and depth were all good enough to be used, so it was very compliant.

I was also making good use of it.

“If you have a good commanding ability… Or maybe the special forces ex-members did some tricks… … .”

“I am of the same judgment, but the former is probably right.”

“Has the command been good?”

“Yes, we have gathered most of our troops and are fighting, but behind the fence we are even preparing to leave. It has all the ranks of transport trucks in good technical condition. I will probably leave soon.”

“I just want to blow it up, this… … .”

“yes?”

“no.”

Kangtae answered briefly.

On top of that, it was because it would be over with just a couple of air-to-surface missiles.

Of course it couldn’t be.

Although it is a small copper mine, it is one of the strategic resources and should not be destroyed carelessly.

So there were no anti-tank firearms like the Faust, the Javelin, or the AT4.

Only hand-held grenade launchers and sniper rifles attached to the underside of the gun were allowed, but attacks that would cause additional damage to mines were avoided.

There was only one conclusion Kangtae could draw here.

“Then I have no choice but to choose the commander… … .”

“It is difficult for the commander to sniper on this side of the mountain because the view is not secured due to buildings and obstacles.

“Do you want to go back?”

“Back… There are guards differently from the first intrusion, and if a situation arises, spare troops will be turned around. Access to this building is easy, but the inside is more dangerous.”

In simple terms, it means that you can approach from a distance, but it is difficult to get close.

“On a small scale… Can’t one or two infiltrate?”

“that… … .”

Rachel shook her head.

It was because it was impossible. I don’t know if everyone was careless and broke into a sleeping unit or disguised like a local, but there was no case of infiltrating in the afternoon during an engagement.

Of course, it was not even in the case of engagement.

I don’t know if an extremist Muslim is wearing a bomb vest, but I don’t know if my ally won’t go in the opposite way.

However, Kang-tae continued talking as if he had finished his calculations.

“Aren’t there any mercenaries? Where do you think you are?”

“I would have killed them all.”

“That’s all right. I’ll go.”

“but… … .”

“If you leave like that, can you stop it?”

“That will be difficult. If you push it randomly… Dropping a few vehicles is all it takes. The grenades have already run out.”

“So. I should have helped the team leader anyway… I’ll take a faster route, so please help me.”

Kang-tae spoke as if he had made up his mind, but Rachel couldn’t say he liked it either.

This was because it was just as dangerous as the previous infiltration.

Of course, it is said that none of them were from special forces, but the difference in personnel was so great. If done wrong, casualties could result.

So I was worried.

If Kang-tae was seriously injured, it was clear that she would also be shaken.

Of course, the relationship didn’t develop, and the feelings weren’t deep.

She had feelings of her own.

It was indescribable, but I couldn’t say no to it.

The situation was a situation, but it was because Kang Tae’s skills were just as great.

I’m sure if you send it, I’ll do anything.

There was a time when I couldn’t answer this easily.

“Ah f*ck… lee! Let’s just go, you pierce it like before, I’ll assist you from the side. Is that enough?”

Andrei, who removed the bandage from his neck, said while rubbing the dried blood on his neck.

At the same time, José, who was looking through the scope from a few steps away, spoke up in a voice.

“I’ll cover as much as I can, so do as you please.”

He also believed in Kang Tae.

Unlike the CQB situation, it was because the difference in marksmanship skills was greater in the distance of the street fighting.

It was the same when I just left.

Not inside the building, but outside the building, I hit all the enemies while moving several tens of meters away.

A level close to the god of shooting.

Eventually, even Rachel nodded.

“Don’t get hurt. If you feel like you’re going to overdo it, get out. you are… He is the most important person on our team.”

“Then, instead of joining the main unit, I’ll just radio by hitting the rear.”

It was the moment when the diversionary action, which had been disguised as an infiltration, finally became real.

* * *

A middle-aged man, an officer and military commander at M23, who controlled one of the copper mines in southern North Kivu, ran through the trenches and beckoned.

“Six of you! there! Go to the tree hit by lightning! Yankees go that way!”

A former lieutenant officer in the Congolese government army, he learned military doctrine when he was young and learned real combat through terrorism after transferring to M23.

It’s only been about ten years.

In the meantime, without losing a part of his body or being imprisoned, he survived intact and rose to the position of manager of the mine.

In other words, it means that one ability is good, and he was using it to the fullest.

If he had received the right education in the right country, he might have become a good officer.

I used to think that way too.

It was time for him to hear the sound of a gunshot and estimate his location.

support position –

The Chinese-made radio made a sound, and behind it the voice of a low-ranking officer in charge of guarding the rear was transmitted.

– There’s a spy pup in the back!

“spy?! What are you talking about?”

-I’m not sure, but it looks like that intruder. But it shoots really well… … !

At those words, the middle-aged man’s forehead wrinkled.

Because there were only two reported intruders.

Of course, I couldn’t stop it, I couldn’t catch it, but there was a big difference between then and now.

It was because since the beginning of the engagement, sentries with telescopes had been erected, troops had been increased, and even machine guns had been removed and deployed from out of order technicals.

But just in case, I asked.

Not two people, but two squads could come in.

Of course that was it. It was because it was a hillside where it was not easy for more people to come down at once.

Even if he had come down, he would have been caught by the sentry.

If not, there was only one way.

unconditional retreat.

We had to immediately stop loading the cargo and get out immediately.

Leave the one who can’t ride.

The man’s mouth fell open at this.

“… How many are there?”

It was time to listen closely to the gunshots of the other party while being very nervous.

– Oh, yes. 2 people. Aren’t they the ones who came in earlier? … .

In an instant, a wrinkle formed between the man’s brows.

Then came a voice filled with absurdity and anger.

“Not two squads… Two people… … ?”
