Chapter 2 (1/2)

Compared to a normal airliner, the plane’s alt.i.tude was much lower, at this moment, the moon was still s.h.i.+ning, the drug traffickers on the ground could see that people were coming down, they didn’t know who they were, but they knew they weren’t their friends.

The plane took a U-turn, the soldiers one by one jumped of the plane, Donford Wu was the last to jump, even though the drug traffickers shot at the plane, but it didn’t cause any damage to the plane, when a 7.62 mm rifle shoots over eight hundred meters, its power starts to falter.

The bullets couldn’t cause any damage to the plane, but it could threaten the descending soldiers, to insure their safety, all soldiers tried to open their parachute at the last possible second, this could decrease the amount of time spent in the air.

The borders between China and Myanmar was mostly made of ancient forests, these forests were extremely dense, after parachuting down, Donford Wu’s parachute snagged on top of a tree, hanging him over the ground five or six meters.

The light under the forest was abnormally dim, Donford Wu used his rifle to quickly check his surrounding area, after determining his height from the ground, he unlocked his parachute and touched the ground rolling. Now in a crawling position, he used the tracker on his wrist to see his approximate location.

His position was slightly to the west, going west, you could reach the borders in less than five kilometers, the dense gunfire,which was the area where the drug traffickers where, was two kilometers to the east.

After determining his location, he didn’t go to encircle them, but quickly got up and went west, after being a.s.saulted, the drug traffickers would surely retreat back to Myanmar, what he was doing was to become familiar with the surrounding area as fast as possible, and find a good position to a.s.sault them.

While looking at his surroundings, Donford Wu also determined the caliber of the rifles from the gunfire, the squad’s QBZ-95 and the adversaries’ AK-47 had different barrel sizes, the sound of the gun was also slightly different. Through the gunfire, when could determine that both sides were all on automatic, but the adversaries weren’t just spraying gunfire, but clearly had rhythm, this showed that they weren’t just grouped together, but highly possible they were mercenaries with formal training.

At this moment, there were only three soldiers that were behind the enemy in the firefight, their main objective was to slow down the enemy so that they could make time for their comrades that were in the front, left and right encircle the enemy. The six soldiers on the left and right were to kill the enemy’s main firepower, their mission was to ambush the enemy when they are retreating, snipers and combat crossbowmen were both on the two sides. Donford Wu was the last line of defense, he was responsible for blocking the fish that escaped from the net.

As Donford Wu was quickly heading west, his earpiece transmitted a soldier’s voice, “ They’re quickly retreating.”

Even though Donford Wu was anxious, but he didn’t urge his squad to hurry, all the communication devices were all connected, the soldiers on the two sides would surely rapidly get to their combat position.

Different from the normal mountains and outbacks, the borders between China and Myanmar had a real ancient forest, it was hot and humid, you could find little traces of people, the giant trees block your path, the thorns sting your legs, going through this place was abnormally hard and painful, but what Donford Wu feared was not these, but Asia’s most venomous snake that lived in this area, the king cobra.

The two sides finally sounded gunfire, the snipers and crossbowmen held their position and showed their might, the soldiers using rifles were in direct combat facing the enemy, while the snipers and crossbowmen stealthily killed them, even though the crossbows had shorter range, but it had its own advantage, it shot without noise, and there are no sparks to be seen, especially suitable for a night forest battle.

Being surrounded, the enemy started throwing hand grenades to counter attack and at the same time accelerated their retreat.

After a few hundred meters, Donford Wu finally found the hidden trail in the forest, behind him, there was still the dense sound of gunfire, clearly showing that there were still lots of enemies that have not been killed. After thinking for a short period of time, Donford Wu followed the trail and ran west, if he went back to block the trail, he would force the drug traffickers off the trail, making them hard to find.

Less than a mile from the border, Donford Wu ordered, “How many left.”

“Seems to be seven.” “It should be three.” “Around four or five.” …..

“I’m about to reach the border.” Donford Wu cut off the soldiers counting, in this dark forest, it was hard to determine the exact amount of enemies killed, making it also hard to calculate how many enemies were left.

Not knowing the amount of enemies left was impossible to directly confront them, if there were only three or five people left, he had confidence to kill them before they disappeared through the forest, but if it was more, it was hard not to let some escape.

After thinking about this, Donford Wu hid himself in a secluded place fifty meters away from the trail.

In a moment, the enemies came rus.h.i.+ng here, the ones running in the front were all wearing vests, these vests were sewed out of coa.r.s.e materials, and they were bulging out, the drugs were highly likely to be stored there, behind them were ten plus mercenaries wearing camouflage, their gunfire covering the drug trafficker’s retreat.

Donford Wu was waiting for the drug traffickers to pa.s.s him so he can open fire at the mercenaries, he had set his rifle to automatic.

Compared against single bursts, fully automatic was much more powerful, it could kill more enemies, but it also came with more risks, because shooting automatic required one to stay in the shooting stance, the barrel also continues to spark, there was no way to hide, so the enemies could fire right back at him right away.

The longer he shot in automatic, the more enemies he killed, and the more danger he put himself in, this is a time which tested a person’s courage and judgment, Donford Wu shot for five seconds, the first second of the five, he was safe, the following four seconds, he had a chance to be shot.

After five seconds, Donford Wu immediately lied down, the enemy’s’ gunfire quickly followed, a spray of bullets flew over his head, he laid closely to the ground, waiting until the gunfire stopped, he immediately rolled to the south western side, his opponents knew where he was, to ensure he was dead, they would most likely throw a hand grenade.

Donford Wu’s guess was right, the opponents really did want to throw a grenade, but while trying to throw it, the mercenary got shot and killed by a far away sniper, the remaining two mercenaries were in a panic, they rushed away and tried to escape from the explosion,

The grenade exploded, it sended out a low sound and a short period of light, Donford Wu quickly got up, he raised his rifle and finished off the other two mercenaries, he then turned around to chase the far away drug traffickers.

“Boss, Grandmother’s Bear is with me.” his earpiece sent a soldier’s voice.

“And I thought he already died.” Donford Wu sighed crudely.

“Boss, you are five hundred meters away from the border.” The correspondent with the GPS quickly reminded him.

At this moment, all his squad members were all behind him, only Donford Wu was in the front, and because he didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the firefight, Donford Wu’s stamina was still full, he quickly rushed through the forest.

One of the drug traffickers heard the explosion from behind, he slightly turned his body and shot wherever, he was using a handgun, not only did that bullet not hit Donford Wu, but also exposed his position, letting Donford Wu kill him.
