King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Chapter 160: Chapter 159: Cruelty Under the Sun

It was once said that Africa was a place abandoned by God!

Because "cruelty" was recklessly unleashed under the sun!

Joe Ga and his team drove furiously for 30 minutes, approaching a smoking village.

Old Cow arranged for a truck to carry the injured militia westward to a town with a garrison to continue seeking help, while the rest stayed behind to guard against enemies emerging from the jungle.

It was uncertain if the militia was being pursued by enemies, but if there were any accidents, those villagers delivering food would certainly die.

Joe Ga and his team stopped their car 500 meters from the village at a turn, while Nis and Antar got out to find a high ground position; Joe Ga followed Karman, who seemed utterly unfazed, quickly approaching the village along the roadside jungle.

The village on the border was not the primitive village of thatched huts one might imagine.

Three groups of dozens of yellow mud-brick houses formed the village cluster, scattered in an 'S' shape on both sides of a riverbend.

This was an excellent choice for agricultural land, with both sides of the riverbank full of vegetables ready for harvest.

This place should have been hopeful, but now it had turned into hell!

Hundreds of individuals in tattered uniforms wielded AKs, burning and killing throughout the three villages.

Some of them pushed women into houses while others herded the elderly and men to the riverside, lining them up before pushing out several teenagers to shoot down those people with their AKs.

Joe Ga did not know the fate of those women, but even from a distance of 200 meters, he could hear screams emanating from the mud-brick houses.

Through his binoculars, he watched as a young boy, clearly only about eleven or twelve, was pushed forward.

An African man with a machete and a malevolent expression, wearing a red cap, waved his machete and loudly ordered the boy to shoot.

The boy, perhaps too frightened, let his gun fall to the ground.

He frantically crouched to pick up the rifle but ended up collapsing to the ground because his legs gave out.

The child's panicked actions incited a burst of laughter from the surrounding savages.

The man with the machete, clearly dissatisfied with the boy's performance, grabbed the boy by the neck and lifted him up, then fiercely yelled at him to continue…

As the boy, driven by desperation, screamed and pulled the trigger, sending bullets into the sky, the machete-wielding man was furiously chopping towards the boy's neck...

Unable to bear it anymore, Joe Ga shouted loudly, "Devil Bird—"

"Bang!"

A large-caliber Magnum bullet struck the machete man's forearm, sending his knife-wielding hand flying into the air.

Seeing that Nis had succeeded, Joe Ga, upon noticing that those surrounding the village hadn't yet grasped what had happened, pressed his communicator and loudly asked, "How long till the helicopter arrives?"

"5 minutes!"

Having received a definitive reply, Joe Ga yelled, "King Kong has us covered, Dragon Gecko, Elephant, let's move in and slaughter these sons of bitches!"

Ayu charged out the moment Joe Ga gave the command; this massive woman, wielding a PMK, sprinted 30 meters, then crouched down like she was using an automatic rifle, easily controlling the rhythm of her shots as she fired into the group of militants by the riverbank.

Prolonged training had greatly improved Ayu's skills with the machine gun. Overwhelmingly strong, she held the machine gun bipod as if it were a rifle's foregrip, easily managing its recoil.

'Da-da-da-da-da' 'Da-da-da-da-da'…

Her shooting was not a wild spray; Ayu's bullets spared the panicked villagers by the riverbank and rhythmically suppressed the frenzied militants, preventing them from raising their heads.

Compared to Joe Ga's anger, Dorian was very silent.

This Leather Head, who had fought with both the Mafia and terrorists, had never witnessed such cruelty.

Years of training kept his mind cool, but his heart was on fire.

Following Joe Ga's command, Dorian was the first to burst out of the jungle, holding a G36C and using standard tactical maneuvers, firing while rapidly moving toward the village 150 meters away.

The enemy was numerous, and fighting across an open field put them at a disadvantage; only by getting close to the village could they use its buildings as support and fully leverage their combat ability.

Joe Ga and Karman intuitively followed on either side of Dorian, forming an irregular triangle.

Joe Ga had not stopped shooting since he burst out of the jungle. His range was 400 meters, and now targets were everywhere.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."

"Change the magazine!"

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."

"Change the magazine!"

After depleting two magazines, Joe Ga smoothly entered the village and then leaned against the corner of a house, ignoring the enemy's inaccurate retaliation, and while shooting, he loudly called out, "King Kong, follow up!"

Having said that, Joe Ga shot and killed a guy who was trying to climb onto a pickup truck parked at the village entrance, then switched positions with Karman and quickly moved to the front of the house. He drew his pistol and nodded to Dorian...

Dorian stuck by the door, pulled out a flashbang grenade, and after pushing the door open with his side, he threw the flashbang inside.

Following a loud explosion, the two of them burst into the house and, sticking to the walls, they fired to the left and right, killing three men inside the house.

A few women, distressed by the flashbang, were holding their heads and screaming. Joe Ga glanced around and saw no active enemies, so he pressed his communicator and said, "The house's windows overlook the village square, let King Kong come in."

Joe Ga, who had undergone diving training, was no longer the hothead who acted without regard for the consequences.

He could trust his back to Karman, Dorian, Nis, and Antar, but he just didn't dare let Ayu follow behind him, so he always ordered her to secure his flanks as he advanced.

Karman had noticed Joe Ga's issue, but the old man didn't waste words. He briskly walked to Joe Ga's back as Ayu rushed into the house, beginning to fire at the armed militants seeking cover in the village square, and to the pointman Dorian, he said, "We're up."

With the enemy in the square suppressed, Dorian was the first to charge out the back door, ran to the entrance of another house, and began to establish reverse cover.

As soon as Dorian steadied himself, Joe Ga started running, covering more than 30 meters in a few seconds, and hugged the doorjamb to cover for the final Karman.

Just as Karman started moving, a sudden roar came from inside the house and the door was flung open...

Joe Ga, seeing the enemy up close, instantly pulled out the pistol from his thigh holster and fired a shot at the enemy's chin while twisting his body, and then grabbing the dead enemy's neck, he rushed into the room. Using the man's shoulder as a shield, he kept pulling the trigger, blowing the heads off two men crouching in the corner.

Looking at the dirty floor, where lay a woman's corpse that would need to be blurred out anywhere and several dead babies in the corner, an increasingly enraged Joe Ga was about to move forward but was pulled back by Karman, catching up to him.

The old man glared angrily at Dorian, then said to Joe Ga, "We'll kill the people in the square first..."

Saying this, Karman rushed to the side window of the house, from which he could clearly see the enemies huddled around the pickup truck, and with Ayu, they formed a perfect crossfire.

Since the window was not wide, the old man, despite Joe Ga's better marksmanship, signaled Dorian to come forward, and the pair began designating targets in their own style for those enemies over 40 meters away.

The suppressed enemies, who couldn't raise their heads, didn't realize someone had flanked them. These people had not undergone any formal training and could only fight by relying on their wild instincts.

When they encountered a machine gun that pinned them down, their fate was sealed.

There were more than twenty individuals in the village square who, like the villagers they had previously killed, lay on the ground in the least capable postures, shot down like wild dogs.

After the main force in the first village had been dealt with, what remained was a practical CQB (Close Quarters Battle) for clearing the houses.

The S-shaped bend in the river acted as a barrier against the enemy reinforcements.

From the beginning of the assault to this point, less than five minutes had passed when the enemies across the river to the southwest attempted to cross with wooden boats to provide support, only to be shot dead on the boats by Ayu and Nis.

Similarly, enemies located in a village on the east bank of the river to the south, who were driving an armed pickup, collided in mid-route with the incoming Mi-24 helicopter.

Piloting the Mi-24, 'Fat Goose' saw the convoy of pickup trucks, grinned, and loudly said to the forward gunner position known as 'Wrench', "Shoot them, shoot them..."

'Wrench' coolly pressed the firing button, and the Mi-24 fired five 80mm rockets from each of the side-mounted pods, plowing through the entire convoy.

The impact and precision of the rockets were not as high as imagined; although they stopped the convoy, they didn't kill all the people inside.

However, 'Fat Goose', being an experienced pilot, seeing that 'Wrench' had ceased firing, grinned and controlled the 'Hind' to dive toward the convoy near the embarking village, hovering at 25 meters to give the rear cabin gunner a shooting angle.

With the firing from the cabin gunner, the remaining enemies in the convoy were completely suppressed.

Seeing the situation stabilize, Cavalryman Sanderson and 'Chainsaw' of Diamond exchanged a glance and decisively opened the cabin door, kicking down the fast-rope.

"Keep firing 'Hemostatic Forceps', 'Kitten' keep an eye on the other side, 'Chainsaw' and I will go down first."

Speaking, Sanderson leaned forward, grabbed the rope, and quickly slid down, followed by 'Chainsaw'. Together, they took a few steps away from the ropes and then crouched back-to-back to establish a guard.
