Chapter 3: Night of Bloodlust

Song Yuanhang's observation has not yet concluded. As a sniper, he possesses sufficient patience to engage with this group of anti-government scoundrels until the very last one is eliminated. He will not retreat under any circumstances.

On the small island, Ichifu had already seen the terrified gaze of Miura Yoko and the distance of her outstretched left hand, when three bullets struck in succession, piercing through Miura Yoko's body

Song Yuanhang set down the observation instrument against a nearby tree trunk. For him, the natural geographical position of the town was his greatest obstacle. Not to mention the climbing difficulties of the cliffs to the east, north, and west, it was clearly unrealistic for one person to infiltrate the enemy camp. After all, this was not a novel or a movie. He could only lure his opponent out of the town and use the traps set in the jungle to carry out maximum annihilation.

Due to the unique geographical location of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the time difference in September is quite similar to that of Xinjiang in China, with complete darkness not settling until around 10 PM, and dawn not breaking until after 8 AM the following day. Soon, a large bonfire was lit in the center of the town. Soldiers of the anti-government forces, dressed in tank tops and shorts, barefoot and carrying AK-47s, seemed to be preparing for something. A banquet?

In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight filtered through the treetops into the jungle, Song Yuanhang, with two bullets lodged in his body, leaned against a large tree. With great difficulty, he used his injured right arm to press bullets into the magazine. When he reached the 13th bullet, he reached into his spare weapon bag with an empty hand and pulled out his rifle, which had 13 rounds left, while his pistol had only 1 bullet remaining

Song Yuanhang's experience told him that the target he needed was within the Universal Leap Wild Vehicle. A distance of 500 meters was slightly beyond the design precision of the Type 85 semi-automatic sniper rifle, which was 300 meters. Moreover, the 9x infrared night vision scope produced by Shanghai Optical Instrument Factory No. 3 did not have an automatic focus adjustment feature. After several shots, it would deviate due to the intense recoil, and at that point, the shooter would have to rely entirely on their own experience for aiming. Furthermore, the 9x infrared night vision scope produced by Shanghai Optical Instrument Factory No. 3 did not have an automatic focus adjustment feature. After several shots, it would deviate due to the intense recoil, and at that point, the shooter would have to rely entirely on their own experience for aiming.

"You have destroyed my greatest love, so I will send your beauty to hell!" Song Yuanhang was fully focused, firing continuously.

Dazed and seeing stars, as if his whole body had fallen apart, Xiaodao Yifu suddenly discovered that there was a headless corpse beside him. On the chest of the corpse was a tattoo of a chrysanthemum.

"Damn it, Lafes, look at what you've done! If you do not rescue Miss Miura Yoko, our assistance will be terminated!" Kojiro Kazuo's outrageous words startled both himself and the subordinate beside him. Feeling threatened, Lafes roared like an enraged boar, calling his subordinates together. Lured by the promise of U.S. dollars, over five hundred desperate men shouted as they charged out of the town.

Kazuo Kojima shared his brilliant idea with Lafes. Lafes frowned and gestured while saying: "Cook it directly in a large pot, the meat of the warrior can enhance courage, and while still alive, when the skin just starts to peel, everyone can cut pieces and dip them in rubar to eat!"

Subsequently, Kazuo Kojima took an M4A1 carbine from the Japanese instructor beside him, chambered a round with a click, and commanded the troops to rush forward along the traces left by Song Yuanhang.

A bloody jungle battle has now commenced. Although there are no official records of this conflict, it has been included in the jungle warfare curriculum by special forces around the world after the war, becoming a classic case study and a popular topic for individual combat tactics research

Song Yuanhang let out a faint sigh. After a night of maneuvering, he initially thrived in the situation, using the cover of traps to freely hunt his targets. However, his opponents quickly saw through his tactics, employing a squad-based strategy and ruthlessly filling all the traps with lives. Song Yuanhang also exhausted all the weapons and ammunition he had hidden in the jungle beforehand

Two hours later, under the cover of the Palestinian armored battalion dispatched by the United Nations, a delayed tactical reinforcement team arrived in the jungle where Song Yuanhang had fought fiercely for an entire night, aboard four Z-10 helicopters

From the first gunshot, Lafes and Koji rushed to the top of the church in the small town. The burning cars and the bodies lying haphazardly caused Lafes's plump face to twitch from time to time. Was it fear? Or was it anger? Perhaps only Lafes himself could clarify.

Song Yuanhang's reticle was rapidly moving towards the first target arrow, and with each movement, a target fell. By the time Song Yuanhang replaced the fourth magazine in his sniper rifle, a number of armed militants lay sprawled around the utility vehicle.

Now, Song Yuanhang has finally experienced the feeling of fighting alone against a thousand troops. No longer fearful, he is overwhelmed by his desire for revenge. At this moment, the only thing that makes Song Yuanhang feel uneasy is the purpose of his revenge. He can be said to be driven by anger for the sake of a beautiful woman, indulging in the thrill of it all. However, as a soldier, he is also tormented by the weight of responsibility and mission.

Before killing his opponent, Kojiro decided to humiliate him one last time! This detestable rival had instilled a profound fear in him, a fear that was deeply etched in his bones and could not be shaken off. All 27 instructors he brought from Japan would forever remain in this forest. Kojiro himself was acutely aware that his career was over, and upon returning to his country, he would likely face a military trial.

At this moment, a beautiful figure appeared in Song Yuanhang's scope, exuding a mature aura of beauty even amidst the panic

After emptying the last magazine, Song Yuanhang left a gift on the abandoned sniper rifle using two grenades and five and a half kilograms of G-type explosives, then disappeared into the jungle with his Type 02 short-barreled assault rifle. Of course, the destructive path left by Song Yuanhang was so obvious that even a blind tracker could see the traces.

Tanaka-kun! Kojiro Ishikawa, completely disregarding his bleeding ears from the shock, pounded the ground in anguish. Due to his obesity, Rafes had fallen to the back of the line. When he saw Kojiro Ishikawa's bloodied face, he felt extremely relieved that he had not foolishly rushed to the front.

A piercing scream from a woman suddenly erupted from the passenger seat! The out-of-control car plunged down the mountain road, rolling into a ditch beside it

After consuming approximately one-third of a package of sniper-specific high-energy rations, Song Yuanhang did not drink water, as he was uncertain whether his opponent had hunting dogs, and abstaining from water was the simplest and most effective method to reduce sweating. After applying infrared camouflage oil to all exposed areas of his body, Song Yuanhang quietly entered the sniper position he had previously selected, a large pit on a hillside covered with fallen leaves

The six urns of the seven fallen heroes will soon be returned to the country, with Song Yuanhang sharing one with Hu Na! This is also the only thing the team could secure for Song Yuanhang, within a small space!

In the evening, Song Yuanhang finally infiltrated his destination, a so-called "small town" that was not even marked on military operational maps, by navigating through the checkpoints set up by the anti-government forces.

On the hill outside the town, Song Yuanhang activated the thermal infrared observation device and repeatedly observed the "small town" located in the valley, aligned along the mountain's slope.

Boom! A column of smoke several dozen meters high suddenly shot up into the sky

Faced with the overwhelming presence of the sponsor's spokesperson, a helpless Lafes could only follow behind, panting heavily

The fierce battle of one night not only exhausted all of Song Yuanhang's weapons and equipment, but also drained his energy and blood. The place where Song Yuanhang is currently sitting is the last trap he created using five anti-infantry mines and 15 kilograms of G-type explosives

The vehicle wound its way along the rugged path, while Song Yuanhang leisurely laid out ten magazines filled to the brim with bullets. After gently kissing the sniper rifle, Song Yuanhang seemed to turn to stone. Those familiar with Song Yuanhang knew that he was about to unleash a massacre

Wang Huaimin stood alone by the pit where Song Yuanhang had met his tragic end, lighting a cigarette. He wiped away a tear from the corner of his eye and placed the cigarette beside the still-warm pit, nourished by blood and flesh

At this moment, as the sun sets in the west, the golden rays illuminate the "small town," where the curling smoke from chimneys and the children running back and forth almost create an illusion for Song Yuanhang. The anti-aircraft machine guns mounted on the two Aluoman trucks parked at the town's entrance shattered this peaceful harmony.

The small island, which had let out a long breath, hetushu.com. One husband and Rafis exchanged glances, and just as the small island husband was about to raise his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Song Yuanhang's body suddenly tilted over

In front of him, Song Yuanhang, feeling faint and cold all over, seemed to see the man from the small island, Yifu, and Rafis laughing maniacally after surviving a catastrophe. He also seemed to see a large white door.

Ishida Kazuo was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth. There was only one enemy, yet nearly a thousand soldiers of the National Defense and Rescue Army were huddled in the town. In the effort to rescue the medical team, five or sixty people had already fallen at the town's entrance, with almost half of them shot in the head and killed. This indicated that their opponent was an extremely bloodthirsty and experienced individual. Such a person is a national treasure for any country's special forces; they only strike at worthy targets, delivering a fatal blow and disappearing without a trace, never engaging in the kind of relentless struggle seen today. What kind of hatred could compel the other side to act so crazily?

Although the geographical location of the "town" appears to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, in the face of modern warfare's firepower, it is essentially a dead zone! Song Yuanhang is well aware that the presence of the anti-government forces in this camp indicates one of two possibilities: either they are overconfident, or their commander lacks the most basic military competence

The anticipated guest appeared cautiously, and Song Yuanhang had only two accomplices for his 13 bullets. In a moment of desperation, Song Yuanhang used his last bullet to take down another one.

Without any grandiose words, every breath of Song Yuanhang at this moment is incredibly difficult. He envies the scenes in movies where protagonists, despite being shot multiple times, can still curse their enemies. However, now he can only express his greetings to the female family members of Xiao Dao and others through his gaze.

Bang! The first gunshot startled the birds in the forest! The bullet shot in through the ventilation window at the back of the first truck compartment, and as the driver's head shattered into pieces, a cloud of blood mist splattered all over the cabin's glass.

Song Yuanhang finally understood the main reason why this rebel camp had remained undiscovered. Three peaks, each exceeding 300 meters in height, stood like raised hands, with the town situated at the center of the palm. Apart from a rugged path to the south, the other three sides were bordered by barren ridges and cliffs. The town, nestled in the shadow of the peaks, was difficult to detect even with aerial reconnaissance.

Each team member walked past the pit, tossed a few wildflowers, lit a cigarette, and everything was just so simple and tranquil

The end is but a new beginning

During this period, the people in the general vehicle attempted several times to get out and break through, but were thwarted by Song Yuanhang's obstructive gunfire.

As several anti-government soldiers approached the concealed position of Song Yuanhang and pulled out a sniper rifle from beneath the dry leaves, Kōjima Kazuo, who was standing nearby to coordinate the encirclement, caught sight of the soldiers' actions out of the corner of his eye. While shouting "No!", Kōjima Kazuo quickly threw himself to the ground and rolled down the slope.

After a while, the sound of car engines echoed from below the mountain. Alert, Song Yuanhang immediately used his scope to search for the target, and then switched the scope to thermal infrared mode. Four small trucks and a General Motors SUV came into Song Yuanhang's view. The small town also seemed to come alive with the arrival of the convoy, and music even began to play.

The look of joyful satisfaction on Song Yuanhang's face startled both Kojiro and Lafes, causing them to exchange terrified glances. They almost simultaneously realized that Song Yuanhang's raised right hand was about to strike the inconspicuous yellow detonator switch buried in the ground.

After clearing all the bodies from the jungle, there were a total of 279 intact bodies, approximately 45 dismembered bodies that could not be reassembled, and the final tally stood at 324

After completing all the tasks, Song Yuanhang closed his eyes. What he needed now was rest and patience. Without targeting the other party's key figures, it would be impossible to achieve the goal of luring the snake out of its hole

Song Yuanhang's hiding place was quickly discovered by an anti-government soldier. Although Song Yuanhang swiftly eliminated him, his location had already been exposed. Amidst the torrential rain of bullets, there were even 40 mm grenades, RPG rockets, and 60 mm mortars mixed in.

In order to rescue the military doctor Miura Yoko, who was trapped in the vehicle, Ko Island dispatched five instructors in succession, all of whom fell on the roadside just over ten meters away from Miura Yoko.

Kazuo Kojima looked at Rafis, who was standing a few meters away, with the gaze of a wild beast. After confirming that he was serious, he nodded. However, prior to that, he had arranged for the doctor to administer a cardiac stimulant and a hemostatic spray to Song Yuanhang.

As the anti-government soldiers, realizing that the enemy had run out of bullets, surged forward and kicked away Song Yuanhang's pistol, they also broke two of his fingers. Looking at his severely distorted fingers, Song Yuanhang leaned against a large tree and fell to the ground.

After crying for a few minutes, Kazuo Kojima stood up with a serious expression and glanced at Rafis, who was standing nearby, saying: "From now on, I will take over the command of the troops!"

The 7.62 mm caliber full metal jacket round penetrated the bulletproof vest at an extremely close range, instantly turning Song Yuanhang's chest into a bloody mess, and his raised right hand lost its aim, crashing down onto the ground beside him

Looking at the handgun in his hand, which was in the empty chamber state, Song Yuanhang let out a helpless smile, realizing that he was still so impulsive that he hadn't even saved the last bullet for himself

First, rescue this guy, then perform a vivisection, allowing him to watch as his own organs are removed

Song Yuanhang, concealed beneath the leaves, wrapped the suppressor of the sniper rifle with aluminum foil and aluminum sheets. Although this would increase the recoil, it would reduce the muzzle flash during firing, thereby enhancing concealment.

Even a fool can see that the other party's intention is to use the medical team as bait; this is a form of bloodletting! They aim to make us bleed to death

The road up the mountain was blocked, and more than a dozen armed anti-government militants on the truck in front immediately jumped down, shooting indiscriminately while shouting as if to provide support for those inside the utility vehicle

The nature of the peacekeeping forces destined this immensely honorable battle to remain unrecorded, and Song Yuanhang, unlike Hu Na, could not become a martyr, but could only be included in the list of personnel who died in the line of duty

Are there actually Japanese people? The native language spoken by the Japanese instructors when they called out to each other made them a key focus of attention for Song Yuanhang

No! The quick-reacting Yifu on the island snatched an AK-47 from the side and unleashed a long series of shots at Song Yuanhang

He is a sniper, a very cold-blooded professional. This is the only sentence that Kazuo Kojima uttered after putting down the telescope

Finally, Kazuo and Lafes both stepped into the explosion zone, and the only thing that troubled Song Yuanhang was that two fingers on his right hand were broken, preventing him from pressing the detonator hidden beside his buttocks

With a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and the earth, more than a dozen soldiers from the anti-government forces, along with two instructors, were propelled into the sky

Rafis, holding an AK-47M, stood beside Yifu on the small island. Last night, this forest had devoured more than three hundred of his subordinates, and with the previous loss of eighty-six at the town entrance, his so-called troops had successfully completed their streamlining and reorganization. At this moment, although he wished he could tear Song Yuanhang apart, the order to capture him alive had been issued by the Japanese.

Kojima Kazuo first kicked Song Yuanhang heavily in the face. Faced with this maddening opponent, Kojima Kazuo was both ecstatic and trembling with fear! Without needing to ask, from Song Yuanhang's appearance and the weapon he wielded, Kojima Kazuo knew that his opponent was a Chinese person, a formidable and indescribable Chinese special forces soldier! If it were not for the opponent's determination to fight to the death, Kojima Kazuo believed that with just the ragtag group he led, they would not be able to hold their ground against him.

From the sound of a large amount of glass shattering when the truck rolled over, Song Yuanhang deduced that the first vehicle was likely carrying alcohol. The Soviet-made anti-aircraft machine gun on the second vehicle began to fire aimlessly, the long flames exposing the shooter to Song Yuanhang's gunpoint. The bullet pierced through the machine gunner's abdomen, tearing through the thin metal of the driver's cabin and severing half of the driver's neck. Blood gushed forth, and the driver, who did not die instantly, stepped on the brake.

Song Yuanhang struggled to sit up, his face unusually pale from significant blood loss. Jiao Yifu had no hope of capturing the opponent alive! But how should he deal with this guy? He killed so many of us? Letting him die seems too lenient for him. How should he be punished?
