An RPG exploded on the hull of that tank. It wouldn't take long until the other tanks found their location due to the deafening sound of the explosion. The tanks would flank them easily if an effective countermeasure wasn't established. Lynn and Lizeth would be working to prevent that from happening.
"Here's the deal. Get to a rooftop, find a tank, then jump down. Easy right?" Lynn ran away from the tank battle.
"Easier said than done," Lizeth and Lynn ran together with the Javelin on the back of their body. They ran from house to house as the Hitman 1 was battling two tanks at once.
Lynn kicked the door of a house. "Sorry," Lynn said as Lizeth charged through the door of the staircase. The house was empty. She looked for any room on that second floor that could have a window on it. Lizeth kicked a door and opened it.
She broke the glass of a window and spotted a tank coming to the direction of Hitman 1. She aimed her Javelin at it and pulled the trigger of the launcher. The rocket flew away from the house and hit the top of the tank.
Of course, the tank didn't come alone. It was accompanied by two BMP that immediately aimed their autocannon at the building where Lizeth shot the Javelin from.
"SHIT," she ran from that room as a barrage of 30mm bullets were fired at that house. It destroyed the room as Lizeth ran away and threw her Javelin away from her back. She had run out of anti-tank missile now.
Lynn ran out of that house as the second floor collapsed right above Lizeth's head. They also saw that an APFSDS was fired on the first floor. There was a large hole from that APFSDS.
"I disable one tank, how about you?" Lynn asked Lizeth as she ran away from that house. Both of them didn't have any anti-tank launcher left. They would be left defenseless now.
Without any answer from Lizeth, they noticed that one of the tanks was ramming on a house to take a shortcut. Well, it was unfortunate since the tank was looking for them. The tank turned its turret to their direction.
"WATCHOUT!" Lizeth pulled Lynn's hand to a corner of a street a mere second before the tank fired its cannon in their direction. The round landed right at a wall beside them and fragments flew in their direction.
Lynn looked at the hole that the tank made. It was HEAT round. They really wanted to hunt down two people with a tank.
Lizeth: "Charlie, Echo, Do you copy?"
Static. They could be dead. Well, they were the team that shot the BMP so there wouldn't be any surprise if the military hunt them down first.
"No respond," Lizeth climbed a wall of someone's house as the tank moved closer to them. They landed on the lawn of someone's house. There was a glass door that led to someone's house.
Lynn: "Alpha, how far are you?"
Alpha: "ETA is 1000 seconds."
Lynn: "Might as well the last thousand seconds of my life."
Lizeth broke that glass door using the stock of her rifle and gained access to that house. The house was empty, or it was Lizeth's thought before someone tried to ambush her with a kitchen knife.
"Die you robber!" A female teenager with a kitchen knife charged in her direction. Lynn intervened by beating her hand with a baton.
The girl threw the knife away as her hand was hit by the baton. Lynn immediately tackled her and tied her hand with a plastic cuff designed for that purpose.
"Damn, never thought to meet a yandere in this kind of situation," Lizeth said as Lynn tied that girl on the ground. She realized that it was a bad idea to enter that house since that girl was shouting too loud.
As a result, the tank would find them easily. It was a gamble between whether they would send in a foot soldier because there was a civilian or whether they would go IDGAF and shoot at the wall to reveal their position.
"Lima, Run!" Lizeth grabbed Lynn's hand as they heard the distinctive sound of the tank's diesel engine.
They ran across the rooms at that house before they realized that the tank crew decided to choose the latter option. The tank blasted a HEAT round at that house and killed that teenager that Lynn tied on the floor.
It was good news since that girl killing could divert the military attention away from them and to their PR team since killing a little girl was a disaster for PR.
Lynn kicked a door that led to the other side of the house.
They climbed up the concrete wall and arrived at another house. They decided to go around the house and find an exit to the main street. It was better for them to have better mobility than before. If they kept jumping from house to another house, the tank would eventually catch them.
The residential area where they were being hunted down was a semi-maze after all. Without good coordination, it would be harder for the tanks to find them.
Zulu: "Hitman 2, Give me your status."
Yankee: "Fine. I just destroyed a T-72. But three angry BMPs are chasing after me now."
Zulu: "Two tanks. I think I don't have any tank coming after me now. I will go to your position."
Yankee: "Be careful."
It looked like that quality could overcome quantity after all. It was good news for them but little did they know, the tanks actually were hunting them down instead of Hitman team.
As Lynn and Lizeth got out of the house. She immediately greeted by a BMP that was looking for them. Lizeth's eyes opened widely as she saw that the BMP slowly turned its cannon in their direction.
"Holy cow. That's a BMP," Lizeth ignited two smoke grenades at the ground and pulled Lynn's body as she hadn't realized the presence of the BMP. Lizeth threw Lynn above a wall of a house and she climbed that wall and pushed Lynn to the yard of that house.
As expected, seconds later, the BMP was firing its autocannon at them mercilessly. The cannon made a fragmentation similar to a 40mm grenades, but only bigger. It was very nasty. One second and they wouldn't be able to escape that kill zone.
"Why the heck did you throw me?" Lynn asked as she stood up.
"Shh," Lizeth shushed her. She needed to be quiet so the BMP wouldn't notice them and would drive away.
Lynn: "Alpha, ETA?"
Alpha: "240 seconds."
6 minutes remaining until the helicopter came. Well, six minutes with a BMP hunting you down was definitely unpleasant. It was a certainly straight dead wish.
"Can you give me another anti-tank something?" Lynn asked Lizeth.
"Hell Nah," Lynn said as both of them entered that house that was empty at that moment. They wanted to catch a breath, but with a BMP hunting them down, It was impossible to do that.
Lizeth: "Charlie, do you copy?"
Static.
"WATCH OUT!" Lizeth pulled Lynn's hand. She hadn't noticed what was going on until she looked at the wall. The BMP rammed that wall until it fell to the ground. The BMP immediately fired its cannon in their direction.
"Shit, run Lima!" Lizeth said as she was pulling Lynn's hand. Wait, where is Lynn? She just realized that she only grabbed her hand. Lynn wasn't following her at all. Her hand was severed from its user.
Lizeth ran back to the place where she was located and found Lynn was laying on the ground. She was laying down on the ground between the rubbles and the smoke. Lizeth immediately picked her up and carried her on her back.
The BMP hadn't fired its cannon again since the optics of the cannon was obstructed by the smoke that was coming from the rubble of the building.
Lizeth immediately kicked the door of that house. She ran in that room while carrying Lynn on her back. Once she got out of that house, it only got worse.
"Holy mother of God," Lizeth looked at her left and her right. There were two tanks surrounding her. Not stopping there, she also hadn't seen Lynn's condition.
She felt a warm liquid on her shoulder. She peeked back and saw it, 'Holy moly,' Lynn was mortally injured. Mortally injured was an understatement, it was more like a miracle that she was still conscious.
"Hi, Lizeth," she vomited blood. Her lower arm was gone and her right foot was missing. Not stopping there, there was also rebar attached to her head. It came from her left eye and exited on the back of her head.
"OH SHIT," Lizeth shouted as she ran back to that house. Too bad for her though, the BMP was still in that house and it fired its autocannon at her. It missed, but the only choice was to get back to the street that was blocked by the tank.
Lynn whispered in her ear, "It's...ok...drop...me."
"Hell no!" Lizeth said as she thought of a way out. Actually, she didn't know a way out either. She was surrounded by three armored vehicles.
She ran back to the street and the tank immediately fired its heavy machine gun turret in her direction. She jumped for the house, but it was useless since the house had BMP parked on it.
Lizeth: "WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU GUYS?"
As she shouted in desperation, suddenly, an explosion appeared on top of both tanks and the BMP. Lizeth looked at the exploding rocket, but she didn't realize where the source of the incoming fire.
Hotel: "Air support has arrived at the A.O."
Charlie: "Sorry, I have to set up this TOW with Echo first."
She couldn't believe what she just saw as two Blackhawks appeared on top of her head while firing its AGM-114 Hellfire missiles at the tanks.
An M1A2C rammed the wreckage of one of the tanks. It was Hitman 1's tank and Zulu popped from the hatch of the tank. He immediately ran to Lizeth's direction.
He noticed that Lynn was wounded and immediately requested a medevac.
Zulu: "Tango, are you in the helicopter."
Tango: "Yup, I'm here with Foxtrot. How may I help you."
Zulu: "I need Medevac here. Lima is mortally wounded."
Tango: "Copy that."
No longer from a mere second. The Blackhawk hovered on top of their heads and lowered a stretcher with Tango to Lynn's position. The three of them put Lynn on the stretcher and the helicopter lifted Lynn and Tango away.
Foxtrot: "I'm leaving the A.O due to evac. Good luck."
The Blackhawk flew away and Zulu offered a ride on his Abrams, "The loader MG is empty. Mind to use it?" He asked.
Lizeth nodded and she climbed to the top of the tank and manned that turret. The tank drove away from the position as the others destroyed the armored vehicle company using the combination of cannon and close air support.
