Taking advantage of the terrain and his first-rate marksmanship, Qin Fang once again stealthily eliminated another three-person mercenary squad...
Meanwhile, Qin Fang himself had no losses at all; in fact, he gained quite a bit in terms of loot...
Just like a sweeping operation, he stripped all the useful equipment from two bodies, then left the three bare corpses right there and once again quickly disappeared into the dark forest.
It must be said that the mercenaries who were killed were particularly tragic, dying inexplicably without even seeing a shadow, not to mention they couldn't make a sound to alert their companions.
After eliminating the three-person squad, the remaining ones were not so easy to deal with, being composed of at least four, and even some having five members...
"Seems like it's time to storm the stronghold!"
Without a doubt, Qin Fang could silently annihilate a three-person squad, but four or five-member squads were out of the question, not to mention the remaining teams had some very formidable gunmen and the sniper who almost killed Qin Fang.
That sniper was undoubtedly the one Qin Fang feared the most, yet he still hadn't appeared before Qin Fang. The reason Qin Fang stripped the dead mercenaries of their equipment was to check if the sniper was among them...
Clearly, he was not; none of those men were carrying sniper rifles. The sniper was certainly protected by several men, so Qin Fang leaned towards the belief that this person was hiding in one of the five-person teams, or he might not even have entered the forest.
Regardless, Qin Fang had to take out these men or else he would face their pursuit later...
Mercenary groups are different from assassin organizations, which typically give up on a target after three failed attempts. Mercenary groups, on the other hand, are much more vengeful... Losing one person weakens their collective strength and heavy losses could even lead to their disbandment; for their own sakes and the group's reputation, they would certainly seek revenge... Otherwise, if it becomes known that a mercenary group was taken down by just one person, they wouldn't be able to show their faces anymore...
Even so, Qin Fang's feud with the mercenary group had reached a point of no return, so he might as well be ruthless and leave all these men here, causing the group to suffer heavy losses and severe damage to their reputation, which could lead to being eliminated by other mercenary groups without Qin having to lift a finger.
Approximately five or six squads entered the mountain, totaling more than twenty men. Qin Fang had eliminated two squads, six men, leaving three or four squads, more than ten enemies—his pressure was still quite considerable...
But pressure is motivation, and Qin Fang felt more confident than before.
"Tsk tsk, poor kids, wash your necks and wait for me to slaughter you..."
Looking at the quiet forest, Qin Fang inwardly exhaled in amazement, then like a shadow, he merged into the trees, seeking his next target.
With all the remaining squads having four or more members, it was impossible for Qin Fang to annihilate them entirely, so naturally, he had to change his strategy and resort to guerrilla tactics.
Between four and five-person squads, Qin Fang naturally chose a four-man team as his target. He found a good position and began lying in wait.
After eliminating the squad in two directions, Qin Fang had a good idea of their movement pattern, which allowed him to set up an ambush. The first to enter his sight was a four-person squad.
All Qin Fang needed was to observe for a while before he raised his gun, aimed gently at one of the four, and resolutely fired!
Bang~~
A faint gun report sounded as the bullet rapidly traversed the air, covering a few dozen meters, and hit an unlucky mercenary straight in the forehead.
The mercenary almost fell dead on the spot... dying a senseless death without any suspense.
"Enemy attack... ah!"
Bang~~
Unlike the previous two sneak attacks, a four-man team didn't form a triangular defense but rather a diamond-shaped formation where all four covered each other, making any attack from Qin Fang quickly noticed.
However... as soon as a mercenary discovered his comrade had been hit, Qin Fang's second bullet had already been on its way, blooming yet another garish blood flower on his head, which unfortunately wasn't very noticeable on such a night.
The reaction of the mercenaries was understandably swift. After Qin Fang fired two shots and killed two men, achieving a decent success, the remaining two immediately ducked behind nearby trees and bushes.
Thump thump thump~~~
As mercenaries constantly operating on battlefields and slaughterfields, their instincts were quite sharp. Almost as soon as they hid, they fiercely retaliated towards the direction the bullets came from.
This method of locating the origin of gunfire came from their countless battles. Even though the suppressed MP5's gunshots weren't loud, they were not totally silent. In the stillness of the forest, the sound of the gun became only more distinct.
The two swiftly counterattacked, with their MP5s spitting fire and churning up the soil and debris in that area, but... no further sound came.
"Idiot!"
And about a hundred meters away from that clump of grass, Qin Fang stood to the side of a large tree, cursing inwardly.
Knowing full well these people were mercenaries who killed without blinking, how could he possibly take them lightly? Almost as soon as he fired, he had already swiftly left that position and disappeared at top speed…
The two mercenaries didn't dare to move a muscle, nor make the slightest sound, for Qin Fang's gunmanship had instilled considerable fear in them.
Their cover wasn't very reliable—a mere tree and a clump of grass—that the dim environment sheltered them, but any noise would have easily made them targets.
With just a slight delay, Qin Fang had already encountered another small squad of five…
Bang bang bang~~
This time, Qin Fang was even more ruthless, employing guerrilla tactics of shooting and changing positions, wildly spraying bullets at the enemy with his MP5... and two unlucky souls fell to the ground immediately!
The MP5's recoil was small, its firing rate considerably fast, and its accuracy much higher than that of an average rifle. In almost no time at all, Qin Fang had emptied a whole magazine!
Rat-a-tat-tat-tat~~~
The enemy's counterattack was equally swift. They quickly scattered, each finding suitable cover to hide behind while launching an even more ferocious counteroffensive than Qin Fang. For a moment, bullets flew chaotically through the woods, the poor trees taking the brunt of the fire, their bark and splinters flying everywhere.
With such strong firepower support, they soon reached the position where Qin Fang had hidden just moments before.
But...
They still hadn't managed to hit Qin Fang, and they lost his trail once again. That place was empty, or rather, apart from the spent cartridge cases, there was nothing to prove that Qin Fang had ever been there.
"Fuck..."
Facing such a situation, the leader of the squad couldn't help but let out an angry curse.
Bang~~
But... with a faint thud, a bullet whistled swiftly towards them, and the squad leader's gaze instantly narrowed. Instinctively wanting to dodge, it was too late as a bullet blasted his head open, and he fell backward to the ground...
The five-man squad, two dead, one injured—half their combat power gone!
Only two remained unharmed, along with one wounded, but without their teammates' support, the squad's strength had diminished by far more than half!
All this happened within just a few minutes, with heavy losses, and Qin Fang had vanished again.
"Vice-Captain, the situation doesn't look good..."
Just like that, half of the two squads was easily wiped out, sustaining serious casualties, which was quite unexpected for the mercenaries, especially since they discovered that the enemy actually had guns. This change was indeed significant.
"The enemy has guns, and we've suffered heavy losses..."
Soon, the news about Qin Fang reached the hands of the commanders in the rear, and they also reported their own situation. However, what they hadn't expected was that Qin Fang had, unnoticed, annihilated two entire squads and wiped out half of two others...
"Report the enemy's position, quickly encircle them..."
The Vice-Captain's face was calm, as if he didn't care about the many deaths of his subordinates, and he calmly ordered. Then he too quickly rushed into the forest, leaving behind only a robust figure carrying a heavy sniper rifle.
Somewhere in the mountains.
Qin Fang clutched his still-bleeding leg, wincing, despite having escaped quickly just before; the enemy's firepower had been too strong, and he had been hit.
Fortunately, it was only a leg wound and not a vital spot, so the bleeding stopped quickly, and his Life Points rapidly returned to full. However, the pain in his leg was somewhat affecting his movement.
"Looks like my luck isn't always that great..."
Qin Fang said with a self-deprecating smile.
Guerrilla tactics were obviously the right choice, but he was just one person, which made execution relatively difficult, and the enemy's firepower was too strong; he was somewhat at a loss.
"Damn, looks like I have to pull out the big guns..."
He was injured, his movement was impaired, but the enemy still needed to be eliminated; Qin Fang was getting desperate. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
