Chapter 613 Hunting with Patience

The special thing about setting the battle site in the mountains is that, as long as the defender does not receive fatal damage, he can take advantage of the fact that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can evacuate quickly when necessary.

The disadvantage is that once the damage caused by the attack exceeds a certain threshold, the defenders can only rely on rescue if they want to evacuate safely.

The current situation is quite clear. After the Dongfeng Corps broke through the blockade set up in advance by Davis and CIASAD, successfully transported weapons up the mountain, and completed the first round of raids, Davis' counterattack force had completely collapsed.

However, Chen Chen would not regard this as the end of the battle.

On the contrary, this is the beginning of a truly evenly matched battle.

Blowing up the hotel does not mean that the target has been eliminated. Even if the high-strength concrete structure collapses, it will leave a lot of living space. The survival rate of people trapped inside can reach at least 50%.

They still have strength, and as long as they wait for rescue to arrive, they will be able to successfully evacuate in a slightly embarrassing situation.

What Chen Chen was waiting for was their rescue and the opportunity for them to evacuate.

Only in this way can he accurately identify the target and completely destroy it.

In fact, at the beginning, he still had the opportunity to kill Davis directly through assassination.

For example, knowing that CIASAD had set up a large number of secret inspections, a large-caliber XM109 was disassembled and brought up the mountain, and then a place was found to reassemble it.

But the problem is that once you choose this plan, it means you have to give up all your counterattack capabilities. If the mission fails, you can only survive the most difficult weapons vacuum period with bare hands without timely weapons replenishment from drones.

So in the end, he chose to deal with the problem in two parts.

First launch a large-scale heavy fire suppression attack. After destroying most of the enemy's forces, abandon the more difficult and more dangerous CQB operation, retreat directly to the snow mountain, and continue waiting for the second attack opportunity.

This kind of tactics has a unified name, called harassing and annihilating the enemy.

In fact, its source is the hunting activities of truly professional hunters.

With limited equipment, you can't pin your hopes on a "one-shot kill". As long as the first shot hits the prey and makes it start bleeding, the next thing to do is quite simple.

Avoid the prey's counterattack, retreat to a safe position, wait for the prey's physical strength and life to begin to drain, and then slowly kill it.
After abandoning all the equipment, the Dongfeng Corps' movement speed immediately increased a lot.

After giving the wounded a simple bandage, the entire team disappeared into the mountains again, and the gap between them and the enemy was only less than 3 minutes.

Three minutes after evacuating the hotel camp, the enemies trapped in the hotel also launched a pursuit.

The reason why they chose to retreat and defend was that they believed that the Dongfeng Corps would definitely fight CQB with them, and in this field, no one could beat them.

Completely to their surprise, the Dongfeng Corps did go in, but came out within two minutes, leaving behind only a few explosive bad things.

The targeted bombing completely disrupted their defense plan, and they were forced to risk leaving the building shelters and return to the open ground to fight.

Their reaction was so fast that they almost delayed the unarmed evacuating Dongfeng Corps, and together with the CIASAD that had torn off their camouflage and rushed to support them, they completed the encirclement of the Dongfeng Corps.

Fortunately, the number of CIA operatives deployed here was limited, and they were unable to capture any member of the Dongfeng Corps in time.

When Davis finally crawled out of the half-collapsed ruins and met the CIA leader in charge of the on-site control mission, he started cursing.

"FUCK! I told you to be careful about their equipment delivery channels!"

"You've been defending here for so long, and they even brought in mortars and anti-aircraft missiles?!"

"What on earth are you doing? I just want to ask you, did Andrea die because of your negligence?"

His words were quite sharp. Even though the CIA leader on the other side was not responsible for operations in the Middle East, he frowned after hearing his responsibilities.

While directing his team members to spread out and search for cover, he said to Davis with a hint of sarcasm:

"No matter how negligent we are, we are no match for you. We are an elite DEVGRU special forces unit, and we were almost wiped out by them."

"Have you completed your mission? As far as I know, you don't seem to be here to ambush the Dongfeng Corps on the opposite side, right?"

The CIA leader looked past Davis and behind him. In that direction, Davis' former colleagues and his men had regained advantageous combat positions, forming a three-way confrontation with DEVGRU and CIA.

Davis took a deep breath and continued:
"You don't need to change the subject here. In fact, you know exactly what is going on."

"There's no point in infighting at a time like this."

"They are still out there, and they still have the ability to continue attacking. We have to take them out first, and then deal with our own problems."

"Don't touch them. They are the most direct support we can get at the moment."

"If we take action at this point in time, that would be the situation the Dongfeng Corps wants to see the most!"

Davis lowered his voice slightly, and the CIA leader looked at the people behind him with complicated eyes, then took a deep breath and continued to say to Davis:
"You know, the mission must be accomplished."

"I have my own plans."

Davis answered without question, then immediately turned to Robin and said:
"Robin, now is the time to use your connections."

"Arrange support as soon as possible to withstand the next wave of attacks."

"The support from Georgia was not that fast, we"

"It's not that it's not that fast, it's almost impossible for them to come."

The CIA leader interrupted Davis again and said:
"Before they launched their attack, one of their demolition teams down the mountain blew up the SSSG compound."

"The streets are now littered with dead bodies and severed limbs."

"Next, even if the Georgian military intervenes, the focus will be on maintaining law and order in Mestia, and it will be impossible for them to spare the energy to help us."

"Are you kidding me? Is it that serious?!"

Davis was stunned.

He did see the explosion at the foot of the mountain, but he always believed that the explosion was just a "harassment" action targeting equipment, which meant it was just a loud noise and should not cause too many casualties.

But obviously, he was wrong.

"What kind of explosives did they use? Why was it so serious?"

Davis continued to ask.

"A very primitive ANFO combined with a large amount of TNT, creating a thermobaric bomb effect."

"In short, this is a complete terrorist attack against official institutions. They are probably crazy."

"They'll do anything to get you dead."

"You'd better hide well. There might be a gun pointed at your head right now."

Davis subconsciously shrank his head and turned his gaze to the higher snow-capped mountains.

After the avalanche, not even footprints could be seen on the mountain.

He didn't know where the enemy was, but he knew that he had been dragged into a dead end by the enemy.

From now on, this snowy mountain will be their final battlefield.

No one can leave here until the winner is decided.
Under the heavy snow, Chen Chen gently moved his fingers to keep the blood circulating.

After the evacuation, he had been hiding in this snow cave for 20 minutes. In just 20 minutes, his body had begun to stiffen and he was on the verge of hypothermia.

Fortunately, the reconnaissance forces sent out by CIASAD quickly withdrew after the first round of search failed, which gave him the opportunity to move.

Carefully crawling out of the snow, Chen Chen hid behind a large rock about 600 meters away from the hotel. With the help of a narrow gap, he carefully observed the situation outside the hotel.

Just as he expected, the support from Georgia did not arrive in time, and the two isolated and helpless parties, which were supposed to be in opposition, miraculously came together.

Their actions were quite professional and their coordination was quite tacit - after all, the two sides were really taught by the same master. If they launched a surprise attack now, they would have almost no chance of winning - even if six of the 11 people actually had sufficient ammunition, these six guns were completely insufficient with the close coordination of nearly 20 people on the other side.

We can only wait until the drones organize the next round of airdrops, and then launch a decisive attack.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen let out a sigh of relief. Then, he turned on the radio and asked Shi Dakai, who was in charge of unified command at the foot of the mountain:

"Dakai, what's the situation now?"

"The enemy is assembling their troops and may come down the mountain in a short time."

“When will the third batch be delivered?”

"The situation in Mestia is very chaotic right now."

Shi Dakai's voice was a little hoarse, but frighteningly calm.

"I just blew up the SSSG base. It was a mixture of TNT and ANFO. The power was beyond the limit."

"All police officers have been dispatched and are searching for suspicious persons."

"We just managed to get by, and the first hiding place has been exposed."

"There may be a direct conflict next. I will arrange for pilots to launch drones before the conflict begins."

"But this is the last airdrop. We can't continue to provide support and must evacuate."

"clear."

Chen Chen nodded subconsciously, and then ordered:

"Evacuate immediately after completing the next round of delivery."

“How many drones are available?”

"8, all in safe house number 2."

"That's enough."

Chen Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the specific actions had deviated from the plan, fortunately, the plan had a high tolerance rate. Even in such an extreme situation, his side still had a chance to continue fighting.

After a brief pause, he continued:
"You should evacuate to the Russian side according to the original plan. Someone will pick you up there."

"After you complete the connection, find a way to turn around and meet us."

"Whether the mission is accomplished or not, we can't go down the mountain the same way we came. We must cross the Ushba Mountains and head north."

"If there is no support, we may not be able to reach the border."

"Understood. The drone will take off in 10 minutes and bypass the front and drop the ball from the north."

"I will lead a team to pick you up in 40 minutes. You only have minutes. Regardless of whether the target has been cleared or not, you must evacuate immediately."

"clear."

Chen Chen answered briefly, then raised the telescope again.

At this time, the enemy's defense line outside the hotel had been completely formed. The key figures retreated back into the bunkers that had been confirmed to be safe, while the surplus manpower began to search in the direction of the Dongfeng Corps' withdrawal in groups of three.

They had no intention of retreating.

Chen Chen frowned, then turned on the radio and gave the order:

"Everyone confirm hidden positions, enemy reconnaissance teams are searching."

“Avoid conflict as much as possible and wait for the drone to be dropped.”

"clear."

"receive."

There were intermittent replies coming from the radio, and at this time, the enemy group closest to Chen Chen had already discovered the traces he left on the snow.

Less than 400 meters away, the three-person team immediately became alert.

Chen Chen watched them call for support from other teams, and then the other two teams began to converge towards the center.

Their actions were quite professional. From the moment they discovered the traces, they never put down their guns.

The three members of the group pointed in three different directions respectively. After the other two groups joined in, they continued searching forward with each person controlling an angle of about 30 degrees.

Every bunker was used in the most reasonable way. If attacked, they could immediately gather several fire output points to form a rapid counterattack and suppression.

Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, Chen Chen's heartbeat began to gradually accelerate.

He still had half a drum magazine in his hand, with less than 40 rounds of bullets.

This was the result of rapid redistribution of ammunition during the evacuation. If he had not received the drum ammunition from other team members, he might even be unarmed now.

There was no protective gear on him, not enough bullets in his gun, let alone projectiles.

Once the opponent gets close, your ability to counterattack is quite limited.

At this time, continuing to retreat seems to be the best option.

But the problem is that once Chen Chen gives up his current position, he will be giving up the position to launch subsequent attacks.

He was going to take a gamble.

I bet that the other party’s searching and advancing speed cannot keep up with the speed of the drone airdrop.

Since Shi Dakai said ten minutes, then it will be ten minutes.

At this time, the enemy reconnaissance team was less than 200 meters away from Chen Chen. Chen Chen set up his gun, switched to single-shot mode, and had already made plans in his mind.

If the airdrop fails, these 30 bullets will take away all 9 enemies.

Accept your fate? Die together?
nonexistent.

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, Chen Chen must survive.

At a distance of 150 meters, the crosshairs in Chen Chen's sight had already locked onto an enemy's head.

As long as he pulls the trigger, he can immediately take the first life.

But, the time has not come yet.

Chen Chen patiently half-pulled the trigger, and his originally stiff hands became flexible again due to the effect of adrenaline.

100 m.

This is the final decision distance.

Just at this moment, a dense buzzing sound suddenly came from behind Chen Chen, coming closer and closer.

Immediately afterwards, a package that was not considered "huge" fell from the sky and landed on the snow with a loud bang.

Airdrop is coming!
Chen Chen turned over and pounced on the still rolling package, while the drone flew past his scalp and pounced on the enemy 100 meters away.

Chen Chen unfastened the quick release with one hand, and at the same time, he fired the MG36 in his right hand.

Continuous gunshots rang out, and the two enemies facing Chen Chen fell down!
After less than an hour of respite, the battle began again!
