Chapter 830 - 775: Blow for Blow
The shattered stone pieces of the step tore Mountain Eagle's pants, but were stopped by the internal flexible armor, causing no harm...
Mountain Eagle was in no hurry to go upstairs now. He could see what the people on the second floor were thinking and smelled the panic on them...
They intended to hold onto the only exit and wait for reinforcements from outside to encircle him, swallowing Mountain Eagle whole.
Mountain Eagle pulled out a magazine from his chest to reload the AK-105, then discarded the damaged clip shot by bullets, and threw two Thermo-baric Bombs toward the basement from a distance of several meters...
With two loud explosions, the basement spewed out a large plume of smoke as if vomiting, and smoke was also coming out from the exit of the cellar outside.
Now the basement was uninhabitable, and just then, Chakdi, following Mountain Eagle's instructions, abandoned the interception and charged forward, giving those people a chance...
Just as they were desperately trying to crawl out of the cellar, a Spring Knife descended from above and pierced into the cellar exit...
"Boom..."
After a loud explosion, due to the pressure, a thick plume of smoke shot up from the rear of the small building, and the basement fell silent.
When the snow-covered Chakdi rushed to Mountain Eagle's side, he saw his boss loading a new Jump Mine onto Balang...
Corpses littered the floor of the first level of the small building!
Their equipment was top-notch; not only did they have advanced night vision devices, but their bullet-proof gear was also top-tier...
Their full Interceptor Bullet-Proof Vests could block 5.56 bullets at close range. In such a scenario, the best way to kill them was to aim for the head.
Chakdi was not exactly battle-hardened, but anyone who could survive the special forces in North Korea had nerves of steel.
While running, he reloaded his rifle with a new magazine, then stopped inside the doorway, aiming his gun at the snowmobiles approaching within a range of 400 meters...
"Boss, what do we do next?"
At this moment, Chakdi had a near-reverential faith in Mountain Eagle...
In no more than 5 minutes of fierce fighting, the pile of corpses was certainly not due to suicide. If it was all the boss's doing, then Chakdi felt there was nothing the boss couldn't solve.
In fact, Mountain Eagle now had only two Spring Knives left hovering in the air, and there were still 8 Spearhead Missiles available in the distance.
Moreover, the 'Sled' was facing an attack from more than ten skilled opponents. The situation wasn't critically dangerous, but it couldn't last too long either.
Mountain Eagle didn't directly respond to Chakdi. He stared at the stairs for a long time...
Four opponents were armed and waiting near the second-floor stairway exit. The U-shaped staircase, only about a meter wide, couldn't be rushed, not even with Chakdi.
At this point, he couldn't take the risk of injury in a direct assault because the enemies outside were closing in quickly. If they managed to block them at the staircase, the situation would be instantly reversed.
Hearing Chakdi's question, Mountain Eagle leaned against the corridor corner to observe the top of the lobby, then, with one hand, he set down his tactical backpack, took out a few blocks of plastic explosives, quickly inserted detonators into them, and shouted: "Chakdi, I'll force them to walk, don't let them into the yard..."
While speaking, Mountain Eagle used Crow to lock onto the four snowmobiles charging in the furthest...
"Spearhead Missile, four rounds, fire..."
Four micro-missiles shot up from the distant forest, tracing an arc as they ascended, diving directly toward the motorcycle team upon reaching their peak, instantly blowing over the four fastest snowmobiles...
The less violent explosion caused the snowmobiles to tumble, and the people on them, hit by a few pieces of shrapnel, were flung into the air like discarded toys.
The sudden attack, combined with the tumbling snowmobiles, slowed down the following team. Just as they tried to circle around the accident site, Chakdi opened fire...
"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."
This North Korean special forces soldier wasn't a sharpshooter; he was a standard assault man. With the night vision enhancement from tactical glasses and the AK-105's small-caliber, low-recoil rifle in his hands, he achieved an effective suppression...
A series of three-shot bursts found two snowmobiles in the assault, and the sparks from the bullets hitting the snowmobiles forced the people on them to abandon the bikes, turning to a skirmish line for the attack.
However, as Chakdi forced them to dismount and walk, their retaliatory fire followed.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
"Bang bang bang bang..."
More than ten people, from less than 200 meters away, began pouring bullets toward the front door of the small building. Although their accuracy was limited, it was enough to temporarily suppress Chakdi...
Meanwhile, the dozen people rushing from the side of the runway hangar, seeing the intense firefight at the front door, decisively turned and made a circle, attempting to storm in from the riverside and launch an attack from the backyard.
The situation turned dangerous once again...
Mountain Eagle's strength lay in his ability to access enigmatic equipment and keenly exploit the enemy's gaps, launching the most intense attacks to gain the upper hand.
But in reality, the guy who set up this trap left enough margin for error from the start.
There are large numbers of patrolling gunmen on the perimeter, two teams of experts hidden in the cellar, two teams hidden in the houses of Saint Mary's Town natives, and two groups on standby in the runway hangar.
If Mountain Eagle were just an ordinary person, he would've been done for when trapped against the wall.
However, the opponent clearly raised Mountain Eagle's threat level as high as possible, so when Mountain Eagle was cornered, the perimeter forces immediately rushed to support.
When Mountain Eagle charged onto the corridor, the elite in the cellar also began to flank.
Theoretically, by this point, even if Mountain Eagle were a heavenly deity, he should've been done for. But who could've imagined that not only was Mountain Eagle fierce, but the dogs and wolves with him were equally formidable?
Human-animal cooperation in combat has always been a major topic in special forces of major countries, with deploying military dogs becoming routine in many Tier 1-level units.
Yet the human-dog cooperation demonstrated by Mountain Eagle is unmatched globally in terms of technology and equipment.
Not to mention the Spring Knives in the sky and the Spearhead Missiles from afar...
If Mountain Eagle hadn't summoned missiles to blow up the two windows' fire points on the second floor, he wouldn't have had any chance to rush into the courtyard.
Without the Spring Knives, the elite gunmen in the cellar of the backyard wouldn't have died silently!
Now, they only need to defend the staircase on the second floor, waiting for their large group to flank, sealing Mountain Eagle's fate...
However, Mountain Eagle possesses uncommon clarity of mind, most importantly having the Sergeant System to provide him with various 'unexpected' gear...
Taking advantage of Chakdi holding off the enemy, Mountain Eagle stepped onto a table along one side of the hall, pasting the poised explosives along the edge of the ceiling.
It took less than 5 minutes, and by the time Mountain Eagle was ready, the enemy from the front was already nearing the courtyard wall...
After securing the explosives, standing on the corridor on the other side, Mountain Eagle watched Chakdi endure enemy suppression, throwing the last few hand grenades, causing a cry of alarm, while blowing up several rash gunmen...
Seeing the flanking enemies almost reaching the dock, Mountain Eagle decisively summoned a Spring Knife...
A team of six snowmobiles sped along the Yukon River bank and charged toward the dock. As the riders were about to disembark and assault the rear courtyard of the small building, a roar came from the sky...
"Boom..."
The Spring Knife accurately hit the fuel tank of one snowmobile, exploding and spewing vast amounts of fuel in all directions...
Several guys pushed by the blast waves fell into the Yukon River were lucky; three closer to the inside had their clothes ignited by fuel and were blown off by the blast. Though unconscious during their airborne state, when they landed, the flames on their bodies woke them up...
"Ah..."
The fierce screams made everyone on the second floor shudder...
General Sid looked pale!
He was the insider; turning the small building into a trap was his and Chak's plan...
No matter how meticulous, he didn't think attacking Brown Bear Camp required deploying all his forces, especially when multiple preparations were in place...
Chak's presence gave him the excuse to leave half of his 80 men by his side, sending only 40 to control heavy weapons on the cargo ship, while leading Sinaloa Group's cannon fodder in the landing operation.
And Chak went even more extreme. Once confirming the availability of the four aerial bombs, he brought Medusa and Oberon from the remaining three teams of Demon Group here, leaving only an 80-mercenary squad on the ship for river assault, and designated 'Curious Cat Team' as the landing squad.
This guy is incredibly smart and skilled at calculations, believing their manpower far exceeded Brown Bear Camp. With so many involved in the assault, even if Mountain Eagle were there, Brown Bear Camp couldn't withstand it...
Yet once Mountain Eagle, already showing sufficient intelligence and activity scope, targeted Saint Mary's, his manpower allocation and deployment would prove effective.
An exceptional commander, unafraid to perform seemingly useless actions initially, and indeed waited out Mountain Eagle, this big fish!
Compared to the pale General Sid and the obviously frightened Tiago, Chak remained calm...
As the reinforcements reached the courtyard wall, Chak forcefully nudged the bodyguard beside him and said: "Deploy 4 people at the west-side windows to prevent Mountain Eagle from escaping via the riverbank; the rest hold the stairs to the death..."
Chak disdainfully glanced at Tiago clutching the Cross incessantly and then looked at the ground, shaking his head and said: "Even God can't save you this time!!"
Just then, as reinforcements rushed into the small building and began suppressive fire at both corridors and started capturing advantageous positions...
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Chak suddenly felt a lightening beneath his feet; the side of the command room they were in started collapsing extensively as if the whole house was tilting...
With his feet unstable, Chak sat on the ground, watching people and things around slide like on a chute to one side, unable to help but angrily shout...
"Fuck..."
