"They should be here soon." I grabbed my laser rangefinder and looked around, the sound of birds chirping all around me, "Six minutes to go."
"I would have expected you to complain." Jiang Li stepped out of the bushes, her ghillie suit more or less baggy, she got down beside me to set up the jungle camouflage M40A3, "I see you were talking quite a bit at Elsa's yesterday. I would have thought you would have let us go ahead and decapitate that commander."
"That's different. It's not like the game will end if we decapitate. Is Ray down yet?"
"Do you have so little trust in me?" Jiang Li's tone sounded regretful, "I at least took you out."
Our current position was located halfway up a mountain, I spent ten minutes under the action of an engineer's shovel digging out a foxhole for firing and concealment, the lush trees nearby were my best camouflage, and the height gave me a wide field of vision.
There are two reasons for choosing this place: one, the terrain of this mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, this side of the mountain I'm on is full of trees but the other side lacks is almost all rocky, there's only a path that can barely go down the mountain, and this neighborhood is full of Jiang Li's trick mines; and two, this place is only about 800 meters away from the A2 group's airborne landing site.
"The other side's information was just sent over."
"What is it?"
"The commander's name is Huang Mingli, and he's an a**." Jiang Li bristled, "A3 , 5 people; A2, 24 people, no snipers, in teams of 12, but each paratrooper team has two M249 SAWs in it; the rest are in A1, but A1 has three sniper teams."
"You know that Huang Mingli?" I detected the strangeness in Jiang Li's tone.
"Don't mind him, a particularly nauseating second-generation official. We're bound to win the beheading with him anyway."
"Shouldn't we be happy then?"
"It's just not a happy thing to know this guy."
The sound of propellers interrupted our conversation. Two Mi-171s flew over our heads, air currents swirling fallen leaves in all directions. The helicopter slowed down and slowly hovered, I grabbed the rangefinder, "Wind 1.3 knots east, range 871 meters."
"Roger that." Jiang Li adjusted the collimation screw on his gun with his left hand, his eyes checking against the scale card, "Farther than we thought."
The silencer let out a sharp click, the helicopter that first released the two members flew away, the infantry on the ground immediately tried to escape but none of them took a few steps before they were eliminated under Jiang Li's sniper. The other helicopter didn't even open its hatch at this point, and when it saw this, it hurriedly stretched, and after swinging a few emergency evasive maneuvers in the air and realizing our general location it shot a round of rockets towards the area and turned around to head to another airfield. In reality, the rounds did not have the ability to penetrate the helicopter's cockpit cover; however, the magical maneuver ruled that the pilot, along with the entire helicopter crew, was nominally dead in the system.
The drill rounds emitted a violent yellow smoke, and a strong sulfur odor evaporated up from the foothills. I choked and coughed a few times, "Man, doesn't that count as cheating?"
"No mortars counts as reasonable." Jiang Li stared at the yellow smoke at the foot of the mountain, "The mines I laid there were kind of for nothing."
"Also true." I stood up and ran through the jungle, Jiang Li carrying her sniper rifle close behind her, the two ghillie suits one behind the other in the shadow of the gloomy trees, almost blending in with the environment.
"Hey - you run so fast for what." Jiang Li's voice came from behind, carrying the rustling sound of leaves rubbing together.
"You don't have any B numbers in your heart if I ran that fast? Waiting for them to turn around and fuck me, right?"
Infantry in the face of many against few situation, especially as a special forces, must use their own high mobility to grasp the initiative in their own hands, otherwise once the enemy forces to stabilize the position to start a large-scale orderly search to be surrounded to death is sooner or later. In fact, the most suitable thing for us to do in this situation is to raid the local base camp, but that's too shady.
"You're going to interrupt my arrangement like that-lying down!"
Jiang Li suddenly swooped over from behind to pounce on me, and the two of us plopped down in the bushes one by one, the leaves clattering together above our heads. Without the obstruction of people the bushes finally returned to its original form, encircling us in it. Sniffling, Jiang Li had a nice refreshing scent of gardenia to refresh one's mind.
"What's the situation?" I quietly asked Jiang Li.
"Don't talk."

About a minute later there was a rustle in the bushes ahead and several camouflage-faced infantrymen appeared among them. A total of four people, two people equipped with a grenade launcher mounted G36 assault rifles, one person holding an Eotech-mounted MK46 light machine gun, light machine at the same time equipped with a folding bipod and foregrip. The last person was a foreign trade version of the Type 88 sniper rifle, a Type 97 5.56mm shooter's rifle, with a PDW2000 submachine pistol plainly equipped in a quick-draw holster on the precision shooter's waist.
If Jiang Li hadn't reacted we would have met this squad head on or even been ambushed. They weren't on the same level of firepower as us at all, and I didn't have any tricks up my sleeve to be able to take two axes and hit four in a row in the woods.
I lowered my voice and asked Jiang Li who was lying on my back with a sandy voice, "How are they so rich?"
Jiang Li was a bit speechless, "Shouldn't you be asking me how I found them?"
"Oh, that's that's that. So you found them specifically?"
That squad started to stop and rest in place, which is why we were dry and chatting secretly.
That being said, I carefully raised my M4 and dialed the fast and slow to full auto.
"You know, it makes me lose face when you say it out loud like that."
"It's okay, I can't even see your face, what do I need face for?"
I couldn't see the expression, but I extremely intuitively felt that Jiang Li wasn't heavy even with all her equipment. Her height is around 162, she looks a bit petite, earlier when she was carrying her M40A3 it felt like the gun was as tall as the person.
It's a bit flat though, won't it pinch?
By the time I reacted Jiang Li had already pressed the SG552 against the back of my head, "You said it."
"Which did which did." I let out a sarcastic smile, "I was afraid that if my body was too hard it would be bad if I pinched your ten-thousand gold body."
Jiang Li grunted and moved the gun away from my head, forming a shooting position with my shoulder as a support. I didn't have to worry about my ears today, Jiang Li's rifle had been retrofitted with a silencer last night.
