Chapter 494: Silence

Times are developing, technology is updating, and the speed of military technology updating is much faster than people imagine.

The most advanced thermal imaging ten years ago is not as good as the most common model now. Ten years ago, only a few elites were qualified to use thermal imaging, but now you can buy it as long as you have money.

In the past, the night was one-way transparent to advanced armies, but now there is basically no such thing as one-way transparency. Gao Guang and his team have night vision goggles, and the enemy also has them, so the era of being able to get close to the enemy under the cover of night is basically gone.

However, if you want to always be at the forefront of technology, money alone is not enough, because the most advanced technology that can represent a country and an army cannot be bought with money.

Not to mention the optoelectronic pods used on reconnaissance aircraft or fighters, not to mention the large thermal imaging on tanks, even the small night vision goggles used by special forces, all the most advanced and high-end ones must be strictly blocked and absolutely prohibited from appearing on the civilian market.

The night vision equipment used by Gao Guang and his team is one generation behind the known advanced level. It is impossible to appear in the civilian market and is the top-notch stuff that can be bought at a high price in the arms market.

What Gao Guang can buy, Morris can definitely buy, so Basha Kuba must have it, and Basha's villa has large night vision equipment, so King's Defense has no advantage in night vision, but is at a disadvantage.

So Gao Guang and his team had to approach during the day, lurk under the noses of the enemy's sentry, try to shorten the attack distance, and then attack Basha's villa after killing the enemy's sentry.

The best result is that the enemy does not find that the sentry has been taken down at all. The worst result, which is also the situation that Gao Guang and his team are prepared to deal with, is to forcibly kill the two enemy sentries and forcibly attack Basha's villa.

Always prepare for the worst.

Gao Guang has rested well. He ate, drank water, and took a nap behind the stone. At two o'clock in the morning, his physical strength has basically recovered.

It's time to touch the sentry.

There was no movement. Gao Guang pulled out his pistol and began to screw the silencer on his M17 pistol.

The silencer is not as quiet or magical as it is in the movies. In fact, after installing the silencer, the noise is still very loud, but it can effectively reduce the noise, and it is enough to make the sound in the fortress a thousand meters away.

Since we know that we have to touch the sentry, we must be prepared. The real means of attack is not to shoot with a pistol with a high light, but the two special rifles in John and Paul's hands.

The two honey badger rifles using .300BLK bullets are specially prepared for nighttime touch sentries.

.300BLK bullets are another representative bullet type of civilian-to-military conversion. This bullet was originally developed by American gun dealers for hunting. The muzzle velocity is very low, and it mainly relies on the powerful kinetic energy of the heavy bullet to provide lethality, but the biggest advantage of this bullet is that when used with a silencer, the muzzle noise can be reduced to a very low level.

But it just sounds powerful. In fact, it is the same as the VSS silent rifle developed by the Soviet Union. It just provides Americans with a new choice of silent weapons.

If you can get close enough to use a knife, that would be the best. If you can't get close enough to use a knife, then use a silent weapon to kill the enemy sentry. If you are discovered by the enemy too early, you have to open fire and let the luxurious covering firepower of four snipers and a precision shooter kill the sentry directly.

Nothing in this world is certain to succeed, anyway, it is definitely right to make more preparations.

Within a straight line distance of 50 meters, but to get close to the enemy, you must pass a road of more than 50 meters, and there is no cover. If the enemy's vigilance is always high, it is almost impossible to approach quietly.

But human beings are inert. They may be highly alert on the first day, and they have to relax on the second day. As long as there is peace for more than three days, it is impossible to expect a few people to keep their eyes wide open and ears erect all night, concentrating on monitoring the movements around them.

Without making any sound, John quietly popped his head out and observed the outside for a moment, then he retracted and started to sign.

If they didn't see the enemy, it meant that the enemy couldn't see Gao Guang and his men either. If nothing unexpected happened, the enemy's sentry was either asleep or resting, and they definitely didn't do their duty to watch the movement on the mountain.

Counting down, when John put away the last finger, he picked up his rifle and slowly walked out of the stone where he was hiding. Paul followed closely behind him. After the two walked out five meters, Gao Guang held the gun with one hand and walked out slowly with his left hand touching the stone.

When they first came out, they were highly alert, but after two steps, the three of them put down their guns and focused all their energy on the process of moving without making any sound.

Don't step on the gravel, don't make any sound. As for whether the enemy will suddenly open fire, don't worry. Before Gao Guang and his men came out, four snipers plus a precision shooter had already set up their guns.

The next step is either to expose and attack, or to approach silently.

John held the gun with both hands, but when he approached the enemy's sentry, he put down the rifle, pressed the scabbard hanging on his chest with his left hand, and slowly pulled out the knife with his right hand.

John's knife is a Cold Steel SRK, which is cheap and plentiful, and is a truly low-end commodity in the United States. John has used this knife for many years, and the most luxurious modification he has made to his knife was just spending thirty dollars to get a K sheath.

But it is true that John's knife is sharpened very quickly.

Paul also put down his gun, and he also slowly and quietly pulled out his knife, a Russian-made Kizlyar Phoenix combat knife.

The Russian Phoenix knife has been popular in the past two years, and it is also cheap and in large quantities, but Paul's knife still took some effort to buy. However, according to Gao Guang's eyes, although it is sharp and indeed strong enough, it is a bit too heavy.

John and Paul approached the first sentry post one after another. The so-called sentry post was just a round wall less than one meter high made of stones. The night on the mountain was windy, and the sentry could hide from the wind, but that was all.

There were three people in the stone circle. One was lying on a blanket, snoring evenly, one was leaning against the stone wall, holding a gun in his arms, and sleeping soundly, and another was leaning against the wall, with a thermal imaging with an external display screen next to him, curling up his legs, and seemed to be dozing off, but not completely asleep.

John pointed at the man who didn't seem to be asleep, and then he didn't step into the stone wall, but just stood outside the stone wall, and then suddenly pressed the man's head down, and the knife stabbed fiercely from the cervical vertebrae.

Gao Guang saw this technique for the first time, and he must admit that he was a little surprised, because he didn't know John had this skill.

Silently, the sentry under John's command not only didn't scream, but didn't even kick his legs.

John slowly pulled out the knife with his left hand, then he stepped and squatted beside the enemy who was sleeping on the ground.

At this time, Paul started to act, and his skills were very traditional. He suddenly covered the enemy's mouth with his left hand, and his right hand suddenly scratched his neck, and then he turned sideways to prevent the rapidly gushing blood from splashing on his body.

At this time, John covered the lying enemy, stabbed him quickly, and waited for a while, about ten seconds, and slowly let go of his hand after the enemy was completely motionless.

Gao Guang stood outside the stone circle. Apart from the slight sound of the wind, he could only hear the rustling sound of blood falling, which was similar to the sound of rain.

John and Paul both stood up. They still needed to go to another sentry post, which was not far away, only about 20 meters away, and it seemed that the enemy was also sleeping soundly.

The three of them walked over quietly.

The second stone circle had an exit, and the stone wall was slightly higher. There was a night vision device on the top of the wall. The three of them had enough space to lie down and sleep, instead of having to lie down like the first one and the other two had to sit.

John pointed to the person in the innermost, and Paul pointed to the second one, and then they both looked at Gao Guang.

Gao Guang felt a little sudden, and he was not mentally prepared to use a knife.

But the atmosphere was set here, and Gao Guang had to show what he should do.

Why did Gao Guang have to take action this time? Because the three people were lying too close, and there was not much space for them to stand. If they moved a little, they could step on people. So this time they couldn't act slowly, and the three of them had to use their knives at the same time.

Gao Guang pulled out his knife, a Winkler K011.

Why did Gao Guang use this knife? Because it was more expensive, and he didn't usually use a knife.

The three men each selected a target. Gao Guang dealt with the one on the outside. John raised his left arm and suddenly dropped it, and then he rushed into the stone circle.

Paul was the second.

Gao Guang stared at his target, a white man in his forties, who didn't dress like a Middle Easterner. He should be a mercenary, because he was holding an HK416 in his arms. Judging from his gun, he was rich.

Gao Guang suddenly knelt on one knee, his knee pressed on the enemy, his left hand covered the enemy's mouth, and his right hand cut horizontally.

Blood suddenly spurted out, spraying half of Gao Guang's face. His night vision lens was also splashed with blood, so strange spots appeared in front of his eyes.

Gao Guang's enemy quickly stopped struggling. The enemy stopped moving, completely stopped moving, so Gao Guang slowly took away his left hand.

Because he had to use a pistol, Gao Guang didn't wear gloves. At this time, he felt his left hand was wet, probably because of the enemy's saliva, which made him feel a little disgusted.

When he stood up, put away the knife, and rubbed his left hand hard on his body, Gao Guang saw John and Paul were looking at him.

There was a lot of blood on Paul's body. He looked at Gao Guang helplessly, but John raised his middle finger to him.

Gao Guang turned around silently, put the knife back into the sheath, then he wiped the lens of the night vision goggles and pulled out the pistol again.

It was not a mistake, but blood was sprayed everywhere. It really couldn't be considered a mistake. John and Paul were a little too much.

Some regrets, if I had known that I wouldn't shoot at all, I might as well let Francisco or Mike do it.
