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

Democratic Republic of the Congo, Bandundu Province.

Two regiments of troops, including the local Congolese Army, French Army, US Army, UN Army, and private mercenaries, moved.

The operation area is two small and medium-sized gold mines and a uranium mine.

Among them, the G&G Corp team, including our Charlie team, was deployed to the uranium mine that will be the nuclear fuel for Pikal.

Of course, it was one of the places in Lareple.

Pikal took this and used it to develop nuclear missiles, and eventually launched them to cause nuclear war.

Of course, in the main story, there was a difference between small and secret infiltration, but the important thing was that I was here.

It could have been placed elsewhere.

Gold mines, for example.

It wasn’t just because there was gold. It’s not just uranium mines, it’s because gold mines were also places related to Pikal.

One of a kind of money line.

However, I was assigned to a uranium mine, not a gold mine.

In other words, it means that you know something from above.

‘Then may I mention nuclear missiles soon… … ?’

The names of Walt Grayson and Pikal were brought up while lying out of the blue, but the main topic, ‘the threat of nuclear war’, was not even mentioned.

Even if I had heard the names of people, it was because it was difficult to mention even nuclear war.

I won’t be accused of being a conspirator, but at least I’ll get rid of the gossip.

If not, it was obvious that it would be quite strange.

In peacetime like now, the ones who talk about nuclear war are usually of the same type as the crazy seeds who shout about the advent of Satan.

‘… I’ll have to take a peek at the situation and poke it.’

By the time I draw my own conclusions and bury my thoughts.

I reached the sniping point before I knew it.

A location overlooking the uranium mine, about 850m away from the operation site.

And on the left and right, each group of Jose and Marcus and Jake and Rachel was scheduled to take their place, so they could complement each other.

Of course, as the top priority was securing visibility of the uranium mine, that was not lacking either.

Because they completely surrounded the promised ground from an angle.

“Seniors?”

Harry, who had finished guarding the surroundings before he knew it, continued talking.

“How about selling beats 15 meters at 11 o’clock?”

“where… Oh, that’s fine.”

Picking a good spot Harry had picked out, they started digging with a shovel, and in less than ten minutes they had created their own cozy burrows.

It was a set of lids made by intertwining twigs, vines, and leaves.

Harry, who had hidden himself in the beat before he knew it, took out his observation glasses and raised his voice.

“I think it would be perfect with the Gilli suit, but it’s a bit disappointing.”

“Gilli suit? Yes, it would be better if there was.”

Of course, if I shoot first, it’s enough, but if I shoot from my blind spot, I’ll die without moving.

Even though I have good abilities, I am a normal person after all.

Moreover, the number of sniper missions has increased in recent years.

I didn’t think of it even when I was in charge role at the front, but now that I often take on the role of sniper, it seemed that I needed something to cover my body.

A top that covers from head to waist.

It was because the parts that were usually exposed or discovered in these field battles were the head and shoulders of a person.

It was because it looked uniquely different compared to nature in terms of body structure.

Even if it wasn’t for that reason, covering only the upper body was a bit easier to handle because the weight and volume were more than enough.

‘When I return, I’ll have to add it to my shopping cart right away…’ … .’

By the time I put off thinking like that.

Jake’s gruff voice came through the headset.

– Hotel Sierra 402, Hotel Sierra 403, it will happen 5 minutes after allies enter, and as of the current time, if an enemy is found, kill them in order of priority.

At the end of the dirty words calling Jose and me, the order came down.

Kills according to priority.

It was the official order to kill the commander, the antitank gunner, the sniper, the technical driver, etc. first.

The top priority order from the Foreign Cooperation Agency was to kill and capture illegal mercenaries.

Of course, since he was assigned a sniper mission, it was impossible to capture him alive.

It had to be killed as seen, and the number of cases corresponding to that could be divided into three.

If you are still in the mine area, or if you are escaping or have already escaped.

All three were possible.

Although the high-altitude UAVs were constantly floating, it was also due to the fact that there were quite a lot of misses due to the lush rainforest.

Of course, I heard that there was a high possibility that they would remain, so I had to work on the operation considering contacting them in the process of escaping.

Digging beats and doing Gilly suits weren’t just sounds that came out.

Our Charlie team’s route just happened to be a good escape route.

No, to be precise, it was a place that mercenaries from the trained special forces could deliberately find and move to.

Quite high points, rough slopes, and lush trees.

As it was difficult to escape, it was not easy to search, so it was a suitable place to detour.

There were no Congolese forces nearby, and regimental-level supplies were surrounded and waiting in relatively flat or easy-to-escape places.

Of course, it was possible to escape from anywhere.

I don’t know exactly where I’m going

‘first… Let’s shoot wherever it takes.’

As I was about to blow away my thoughts, I saw a person in the scope.

on the roof of a one-story building.

It was the figure of a gunner holding a cylindrical rocket cannon and loading bullets.

He probably found an ally entering.

Without delay, I pulled the trigger right away.

Tuong-!

By the time a heavy gunshot rang through the silencer, the enemy with a burst chest was falling helplessly from the roof.

Cheeky.

It was a clean one-shot one-kill.

The sniper skills he had become accustomed to had a big impact, but there was also the influence of the customized, state-of-the-art TAC-50 and high-quality brass bullets costing more than 12 dollars per shot.

It was the same with the feeling that exploded.

It’s a perfect state because everything is comfortable.

If it was a cheap Chinese replica gun, it would be equally difficult to imitate.

‘nice… After all, it’s worth earning like a dog.’

After that, he reflexively pulled out the cartridge case, filled it with a new cartridge, and blew his thoughts.

sparked again

Turu-!

He had shot a young rebel trying to pick up a fallen rocket launcher.

After he fell to the floor.

I turned the angle slightly and aimed at the crack in the alley dozens of meters away.

It was confirmed that something moved on the tip of the scope, but there was also an enemy there.

An old bald man pointing with his arm moving about.

He looked roughly like a commander.

Likewise, I shot right away without having to look further.

Tuong-!

A percussion sound went off, and the gas pressure spread to the left and right of the gun, shaking the weeds.

The bald head in the scope fell as if it was being pushed, and then fell face down and couldn’t get up.

It was around the time I checked the blood that would flow out.

-Seniors… … ?

Harry called me.

A cautious voice, different from the usual compliments about how great it is.

“say.”

As I replied while looking for the fourth target with the scope berthed, Harry’s voice became more whispered.

-… Movement was confirmed at the bottom of the observation glass.

“lower?”

-Yes, at 2 o’clock, about 190 meters.

“190 meters?”

Even as he asked, he moved the muzzle almost reflexively, and with his left hand he turned the turret on the scope to lower the magnification.

By the time the gun shakes, a thick, blurry shadow forms within the scope.

Before I knew it, I could see the 190M point at 2 o’clock.

“… … .”

Only grass is overgrown, and there is nothing to see.

“… Are you quiet?”

-I couldn’t see it clearly because I was looking towards the village, but when I took my eyes off for a moment… What moved then?

“Isn’t it an animal?”

-I don’t know, but it’s kind of weird… … .

The moment he continued to speak.

-uh?

“uh?”

Harry’s voice came through the headset, and I paused at the same time.

It was because it looked very slightly heterogeneous.

– Do you see the same thing as me? something like a shoulder?

“ah… Yes, it’s like a shoulder.”

Harry pointed it out more sharply, so it was time to aim while accepting.

‘Wait this… … .’

I stopped.

Out of habit, I prepare for shooting, but after I finished, I felt cheap.

It was because of the gun, not anything else.

A bolt-action TAC-50 sniper rifle that must be retracted and loaded one shot at a time.

This is a tool for sending enemies to the goal one by one from a long distance, but it was not a suitable weapon against enemies hiding at 190M.

If the enemy was not alone, but many, it was actually a disadvantageous weapon.

You’ll have to reload every time you shoot.

-Oh right. Senior, using my M4… … .

Harry, quick-witted, continued, but it was a little vague to receive.

It was because he was selling bits, and the distance from him was 2 to 3 meters away, and Harry had no weapon to use when he received the M4.

There is a Glock, but it was impossible to use it at this distance.

That’s because it had an effective range of 50M at most.

Of course, it could kill an enemy of 190M, but it was not easy to hit a distance that was close to 4 times the effective range in proportion.

Ammunition was also underpowered.

He hesitated at this, but quickly realized and responded.

“You write that.”

-yes?

“I think this will work.”

-Seniors?

It wasn’t bravado or conceit.

Although there is a disadvantage of having to reload every shot, it is because there is also an advantage.

e.g. calculation.

Unlike shooting the enemy at 850M, this time I didn’t have to calculate the wind speed, wind direction, or distance-dependent deviation.

I just had to shoot as I aimed and as the sharpshooter trait helped.

And even if the sky helped and missed, it was clear that no matter what the power of the 12.7×99mm bullet would explode, it would not be able to return fire.

If you have colleagues, it will affect them psychologically as well.

If it didn’t work out, I could use the Glock 19.

It was impossible to suppress it with one shot, so it had to be fired like a barrage, and it had to be aimed considering the short range, but there was no reason not to use it anyway.

The conclusion came before such a brief gap had passed.

‘I just need to reload quickly, and ask for support from the side… … ?’

As soon as I made a decision, I looked ahead.

“Hotel Sierra 401, this is Hotel Sierra 402. An enemy presumed object was found at 190 meters from our location at 2 o’clock, we are currently on alert… … .”

The moment I was talking.

“… … !”

What seemed like a shoulder moved and the shape became clear.

It really hit the shoulder.

Of course, there was nothing to do but be alert and sleep.

just pulled the trigger

The part was the shoulder, but I didn’t mind.

It was because if you went in correctly, about a quarter of your upper body would explode.

It would be fortunate if he didn’t die instantly, let alone respond.

Tuong-! Puff!

I realized it when I witnessed my shoulder being smashed with gunshots.

It was because of the appearance of the enemy caught in sight at first glance.

A tanned Latino.

‘mercenary?’

An illegal mercenary I encountered in Congo.

It was the one that Giandro would have sent, related to Pikal.

That’s a lot of people to deal with with a sniper rifle, as many as 6 people.

Now that one person is dying, there are five left, but the important thing is that the gun that came out of their hands was a good assault rifle for short and medium range.

At the same time as the judgment, bullets rained down.

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do!

Piyung – Papabak! Piyung!

The bullets grazed nearby, hitting the surrounding soil and trees.

They were on the move.

Harry is responding urgently, but the situation is not enough.

i had to move

Cheeky.

While reloading the bullet, I quickly lifted the TAC-50 as much as I could to make the strength training I had done so far worthwhile.

Aim was instant.

It was a guy who had already decided to shoot, and it was a distance that did not need to be calculated.

Empty! clap.

While shooting, he quickly hid himself and reloaded.

Piyung! Papababak!

The bullets grazed closer, and the dirt splattered.

They weren’t just shooting suppressive or suppressive shots either.

purpose to kill me.

If I was alone, I would have to keep crouching, but there was one more person next to me.

Harry.

He fought back as best he could.

To the point where bulletproof helmets would tear as they rotated from the bullets that hit them.

Kang!

At the same time, the moment Harry flinched in shock.

I stepped out.

Tuong-! Clap!

At the same time, the hail of gunfire cut off.

I knew very well why.

“These bastards… Are you pulling your foot out because it’s a difficult 2-on-2 match?”

I muttered, but I couldn’t raise my head in haste, so it was around the time I waited.

A different sound came.

The noise of the propellers of Rachel’s drone.

It was not a soft sound from a high place, but a low-flying sound, penetrating under a dense tree.

Weiyiyin-

It may seem intrusive during the operation, but now it is more welcome than ever.

And soon, Rachel’s voice was heard.

– Hotel Sierra 403, 1 person crawling 140 meters in front of the home, 1 person confirmed behind a tree 175 meters in the 4 o’clock direction.

It was 190M until just now, so you’re approaching?

It was what I was hoping for anyway.

From nob le mt l dot com

Leaving Harry, who hadn’t come to his senses yet, and Jake, who said he would arrive, held the gun.

Tuong!

Now there is one last man left, who flinches as he turns the gun.

It was because of the voice I heard.

“Ha, surrender! I will surrender!”

It was the first declaration of surrender I heard from an illegal mercenary.
