"Move it, hurry up you swine! Mohamd, make them move faster, beat them hard if you have to, and if that doesn't work, kill one to show them the consequences!"
Hou Saini kept urging his subordinates, barking like a mad dog.
His back was completely wet at this mont, all from cold sweat.
The blast just now was so powerful that he almost lost his hearing, and the huge vibration still made him feel nauseous.
The shockwave generated by the explosion did not harm the highest commander of the student brigade.
For this, they actually had to thank those Soviets.
Da Maozi, in their efforts to eliminate the mbers of the Resistance Organization hiding in the Afghan caves, had resorted to any ans possible, using a variety of powerful bombs and attack thods.
This led to the resistance fighters digging out the caves with their lives, and while the main structure of Main God Mountain looked like weathered stone and sand from the outside, it was actually all large rocks inside.
The GBU-57A, despite its strong penetrating ability to enter about sixty ters underground, the years of experience fighting with the Soviets told these Ata Organization mbers that just these few tens of ters wouldn't withstand an attack of advanced Arican technology.
Therefore, the headquarters of the student brigade was another 30 ters down below the Main God Mountain.
These 30 ters of depth were unknown to the Aricans.
When researching the bombing plan, technicians estimated the thickness of the Main God Mountain, but they did not expect that the headquarters were not there; instead, just so henchn hiding within the mountain.
The explosion shook Hou Saini out of bed and onto the floor while he was sleeping underground, and it took him a while to understand what had happened.
Since the US Army's ODA team had previously co to attempt to rescue hostages, Hou Saini had the hostages locked down underground for these two days.
It would be nearly an impossible mission to enter here for a rescue; the pathways and caves in the mountain are intricate, and without a guide, one would definitely get lost like in a labyrinth.
What he did not expect was that the Aricans would be so ruthless as to use a Ground Penetrating Bomb to bomb him directly, regardless of the hostages' safety.
On his way out, escaping for his life, he slled the scent of scorched flesh all along the path, and what most horrified him was that on one wall of a collapsed cave, there were human-shaped burn marks where soone had been stuck, even as a terrorist for so many years, it made his stomach churn.
Keeping the remaining three US Army ODA Special Soldiers by his side, Hou Saini felt a bit more at ease.
Still, he kept casting glances at the sky from ti to ti. Just as he got out of the cave entrance, his n were subjected to another round of attacks, and Hou Saini, who thought he was dood this ti, found that after only two bombs, the Arican planes stopped bombing.
In fact, he did not know that it was just Arican drones launching attacks on them. The drones were responsible for long-term aerial surveillance, which ant they had forsaken the weight of ammunition for added fuel capacity. This incidental reason allowed Hou Saini to escape a catastrophe.
Now, he had to initiate the escape plan that had long been prepared.
Head east.
Less than ten kiloters away is the Abba Border; crossing the border is like reaching heaven. That territory belongs to Ba Country, and the Aricans would surely hold back, not daring to send anyone to pursue them.
He must enter the territory of Ba Country as quickly as possible to be safe.
Soon, they arrived at the mountain valley that was a necessary route.
But he quickly noticed sothing was off.
"Stop!"
Hou Saini raised his hand, ordering his people to stop.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Mohamd, responsible for escorting the prisoners, quickly ca up to inquire when he saw Hou Saini ordering a halt.
He wished he had more legs himself, as no one knew if the Arican planes would co again or not.
"Sothing's not right."
Hou Saini peered in the direction of the valley and expressed his doubts, "Where are Casemi and his n?"
Mohamd was also slightly shocked upon hearing this.
Casemi was the minor leader in charge of the security on both sides of the valley.
He was supposed to be here tonight.
There wasn't any issue during the previous bombing.
But now, as he and Boss Hou Saini had co here, they were nowhere to be seen? No one ca to check what had happened.
This definitely wasn't normal.
"Could they have gone to Main God Mountain to see what happened after hearing the explosion?"
Mohamd was trying to co up with excuses for Casemi.
If it really was because Casemi was slacking off, then according to the boss's temperant, he would be severely punished.
"Impossible. We didn't run into them all the way here. If they went back, they would've definitely bumped into us."
Hou Saini deserves to be the commander of the student brigade.
He didn't reach his position over so many years by luck, but by real strength.
"Send soone up the hillside to check, look for Casemi."
Mohamd hurriedly called two of his n: "Go to the top of the slopes on both sides of the valley and see where Casemi and his group are!"
"Yes, boss."
After the two n left, Mohamd sneaked a glance at Hou Saini.
Hou Saini looked to be in very bad shape.
The location of the explosion was not far from where he was. Although his body was not directly injured, the violent force of the explosion shook the mountain, leaving Hou Saini in low spirits. He had vomited twice on the way here...
Just as Hou Saini dispatched Vanguard to scout, at the top of the hillside, Song Heping and his team also faced a critical issue.
Because from the drone footage, they were in trouble.
"Commander, soone is coming from the border, heading this way."
"Who is it? How many people?!"
"Probably Ata mbers hiding within Ba Country's territory. The bombing here was too loud, and they probably connected with the other side to learn sothing went wrong. Currently, from the footage, there seem to be three to four hundred people."
"They're coming as reinforcents."
Willie said: "No worries, they need ti to travel at night. Hou Saini will soon reach the valley entrance. We just need to finish up quickly and can leave before they arrive."
"They've stopped!"
Dax stared at the screen, suddenly frowning.
Song Heping also saw on the screen that the small fleeing unit of Ata had indeed stopped about two hundred ters outside the valley, and were not hurrying along as before.
"They must have sensed sothing."
Song Heping said: "It seems their commander is very calm, probably realizing that upon arriving here, none of their own appeared, so they beca suspicious."
He wasn't wrong.
A person who can remain calm even during a frantic escape is indeed a difficult character to deal with.
"So what now?"
Dax took his eyes off the screen and turned to look at Song Heping.
Song Heping said: "Since they're suspicious, let's start early. I was originally expecting more than a hundred of them running together, but only about twenty have co, it's very simple and easy!"
He turned and walked to Jiang Feng, asking him to notify the three squads to prepare for the attack, then he requested an M24 sniper rifle from the sniper. He crouched down behind a rock with the reconnaissance device aid at Hou Saini's position.
"Distance 350..."
He put down the reconnaissance device and whispered on the communication channel: "The gunfire is the signal, move together, pincer from the left and right. I only have one word—quick!"
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
Gabri and Arthur answered very crisply.
Song Heping set up the M24 sniper rifle and through the scope, he saw the Vanguard who was walking towards his direction, less than two hundred ters away.
There was not much ti.
Before the Vanguard could discover them, he had to fire.
He had no interest in the Vanguard.
The sniper's first choice is never a low-value Vanguard.
He aid the rifle at the Ata mbers who were still not far from the entrance of the valley.
Because of the night-vision conditions, Song Heping couldn't distinguish who Hou Saini was from that distance.
But he saw Mohamd gesticulating orders to his n, and from the waving limbs and his position, guessed that this was not a regular Ata mber, but a commander.
"You're the one."
Having said that, he began to estimate the wind force and velocity, not bothering to adjust the turrets on the scope, he made corrections directly on the reticle.
The crosshair quickly overtook Mohamd.
This mid-level Ata commander was still gesturing animatedly, directing his subordinates.
Song Heping didn't waste words, after aiming he steadied his breathing slightly, and his finger gently pressed on the trigger.
Bang—
An M118LR long-range bullet left the chamber, hurtling directly towards Mohamd.
Crack—
In less than a second, Mohamd's head burst open, splattering blood like dye in the night vision goggles before promptly disappearing from the lenses.
