When I Opened My Eyes, I Was in the Middle of the Battlefield

Two days later, early morning.

The operation began with a container in the command room on one side of the plant site.

Gathering as a group, they inspected guns, ammunition, and other individual accessories, checked the status of radio neck microphones and in-ear receivers, and reconfirmed their movement routes and missions.

Amidst the light tension, only a few words and the noise of checking equipment resounded.

Ron, the person in charge, showed up.

“Now, pay attention.”

Attracting attention, he reviewed the strategy more seriously than two days ago and mentioned the rules of engagement.

“… We must never open fire on unarmed civilians, even if he pulls out his phone in front of us and relays information to the insurgents. Got it?”

“I know very well, Boss. Are you saying you’re worried about this body cam?”

Jose held up the body cams given to each team.

These were given to determine the progress of the operation and whether or not the laws of war were violated.

Wearers are each team leader.

It has been worn by G&G Corp for self-review of operations since several years ago, but this time, the US military said they are going to collect the SD card containing the original in order to check the operation progress and whether there is any illegality.

Ron smiled bitterly and shook his head.

“Yes, I know you well. Rather, no one gets hurt, and we have to do our mission safely and come back. Do you know what this means?”

“Yes, I know, boss.”

José, who was full of playfulness, answered very firmly, and Jake and other team members followed suit.

It must be because Luke returned home with a body a few days ago.

I also answered with strength.

“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”

There shouldn’t be more casualties like Luke.

It wasn’t because it was different from the gameplay or because of human losses.

It was because Jake, Rachel, Jose, and Marcus were no longer game characters, but felt like comrades and colleagues. Although they had only been together for a few days, they were quickly becoming friends through human exchanges.

I heard about Jose’s love story that I couldn’t find out in the game, and I also heard about Marcus’ three daughters. After working out, we also took a bath together in the shared shower room.

For that reason, this place felt like the reality I was originally living in.

It was often forgotten that it was Rareple.

Of course, I didn’t get used to my changed appearance yet, so I flinched every time I looked in the mirror, but I’ll get used to it over time. People are called animals of adaptation, and I was also adapting to the world in this game.

It was time to complete the preparations with such thoughts.

“Five minutes before departure, everyone get on board.”

Ron’s instructions fell.

Each team climbed into a prepared vehicle, and the vehicles with headlights on ran out into the darkness of dawn.

Take a moment to run through the quiet roads and alleys.

Tick.

The driver turned off his headlights and slowed down to reduce the sound of the engine.

At the same time, like the hydrated dawn air, the atmosphere in the car becomes quiet as if it is sinking.

Jose’s mouth opened.

“… It’s a bad word, but it doesn’t feel good for some reason. No matter how much I think about it, I think I’m going to go with plan B or C.”

The existing operation of reconnaissance and securing entrance and exit was Plan A, and from B, a battle plan was established assuming an all-out war, and C was promised to retreat unconditionally assuming the worst.

In a word, whether B or C, things go wrong.

“You should have deployed Force Recons or Raiders. Of course, the best seal is… … .”

“No, Delta is the best.”

“Marcus, do you really have to be so picky in this situation? I’m serious?”

Jose, who was talking to himself, looked back at Marcus next to him and furrowed his eyebrows.

However, the answer that came back was very calm.

“I just corrected it, Jose.”

“after… yes i will correct it I made a mistake. The best is SEAL Team 6.”

I was referring to Navy SEAL Team 6, or Devgrew, but Marcus reacted like an unconditioned reflex.

“what? Seeing as you didn’t make it, SEAL Team 6 might be great, but that’s not to say they’re the best. Remember where our team leader is from, Jose.”

“No. The team leader should make an exception. Isn’t the team leader himself f*cking strong? The team leader is a person who would have become a monster even if he was in the National Guard.”

“That’s not wrong, but know that the Delta is the place such a monster chose.”

There was no tension at all, around the time when the conversation continued.

“Stop, we’re almost there.”

Jake intervened between the two. The two people who were talking at the same time stopped talking.

The moving SUV also came to a complete stop.

Jake, who was looking through the car window, pressed the transmit button on the radio.

“head. Charlie one here. Arrived at the operation site completed. let’s begin.”

-Here is the head. to carry out the operation safely. good reception.

The radio went silent with a crackling sound.

Soon, Jake’s gaze fell straight to mine.

“Lee, the operation starts the moment you leave the car. Concentrate and get moving.”

“of course.”

“And, as José said, consider plans B and C, so that you can change your strategy immediately. I don’t feel good.”

Certainly Jose and Jake felt good.

This operation was meant to be Plan B.

Beyond reconnaissance and securing entrances and exits, it means that we will also participate in battle.

So I briefly looked around at the team members inside the car.

It seemed that the eyes of the team members were shining white in the darkness of dawn.

Even Rachel, who decided to remain in the car to operate and communicate with the drone, seemed to be excited about the battlefield.

In an instant, admiration rose from the depths of his heart to his throat.

‘Big… It’s very cool.’

I almost said it.

I was with a really ideal team, and it was because it was my first real match in 10 years.

I thought I would even laugh, so I quickly turned my head.

Then, as I took a deep breath, I calmed down my elation.

I didn’t expect the real world to be so enjoyable.

“Whoa… Then we depart.”

* * *

I opened the car door and came out and quickly entered the four weeks boundary.

It was a time when only the outlines of the buildings were faintly revealed with the dawn twilight, so there was not much to see or hear.

I put the few hundred dollar Chinese monocular field sight on my helmet down briefly, then put it back on.

It was because the viewing angle was too narrow and the image quality was degraded, resulting in poor efficiency.

A shallow sigh came out as if I was happy.

‘Nimi, after the operation is over, I’ll have to change the night vision goggles to 4-eye lenses. I changed the gun options to something that fits well in my hand… … .’

It’s only been a few days since I came to Larreple, and I couldn’t afford to take care of my existing equipment. To be precise, things were bad because of Scott, the traitor.

And my eyesight was good enough that I didn’t have to use night vision goggles.

Better than when I was active.

In the meantime, a signal to advance was sent to my left shoulder.

Tuck, Tuck.

As soon as I felt Jake’s heavy palm, I immediately moved down the alley.

The distance to the destination, Cinnamon’s hideout, is about 30 meters.

A building soon came into view.

A white brick three-story house located on a hillside.

It was one of the common Arab-style buildings, but I had seen it a hundred times through film photos and satellite images, so I didn’t get confused in the slightest.

The location of each room, inferred from photos and videos, doors and windows, and the size of the building, also caught my eye.

Also, thanks to the experience of playing Lareple dozens of times, there was even an effect of a kind of simulation.

‘After subduing the soldiers at the guard post with a bayonet, sneak into the building, CQB (Close Quarter Battle) with a pistol inside, and engage in rifle combat in the city area, belatedly discovering Cinnamon’s escape route… The operation ended in failure.’

In Kang-tae’s mind, the scene of Lareple’s play vividly came to mind.

Cinnamon had escaped alive in the first battle.

Just as ISIL leaders did, they created an escape route and fled there.

It was also a more meticulous and sophisticated preparation than the heads of ISIL, and it was worth it.

It was because Cinnamon was not just a second-in-command, but a strong enough commander to be a rebel commander, and he was also connected to Sergei Volkov.

In a word, the highest level of power in Al Jamash.

‘It has to be cooked as quickly as possible.’

Or Cinnamon will escape from that house, and we’ll have to go to street fighting.

After a while, I heard Rachel’s voice from the in-ear receiver.

-All Charlie, five Charlies here. I’ll brief you on the drone flight results.

-Charlie Hana, good reception.

Wait a moment to hear Jake’s heavy bass.

As if waiting, the briefing began.

-Two armed guards at the main gate, three on the roof, two on the balcony at 10:00 on the 3rd floor, and the number of outsiders is 7 in total, which is the same as the data identified in advance. The thermal imaging response is the same. A peculiarity is that all 7 of them do not move at all, so it seems that they are sleeping.

Really quick and accurate briefing.

I didn’t know when I played the same role in the game, but listening to that briefing on the spot gave me admiration.

‘Oh, how fast?’

It’s only been a few minutes since I got out of the car.

However, in the meantime, Rachel flew a drone and scanned the building to find out the location of all the sentries.

Around the time Jake’s voice said that he had received it afterwards.

Finally, we arrived at the main gate of the hideout.

It was a large iron gate with a width of 4m and a height of 2m and 50cm, and a 50cm barbed wire was additionally welded on top of it, making it look like a castle gate.

The walls surrounding the building were also different, so it looked like a fortress… … .

That didn’t mean I couldn’t get over it. There was a place to put your feet on the top of the pillar at the front door.

You just have to step over there. The barbed wire on the wall was only 50 cm.

Swoop.

Before I knew it, Jake, who was next to the pillar, made a foothold with the previously promised handcuffs.

At the same time, the chin gesture to step on and climb continued.

Carrying the HK416 on my back, instead of talking, I only briefly made eye contact and quickly stepped on Jake’s hand and ran.

Tadadak.

It was an instant. I stepped on the narrow space above the pillar and went over to the other side.

Then, as if clinging to the pole on the other side, he landed slowly.

chin.

There was a noise that would shake the quiet dawn.

He reflexively lowered his posture and held his breath as if he was wary of his surroundings.

Fortunately, the darkness of dawn was still calm.

In particular, even the sound of even breathing came out of the guard post, as if he had slept soundly.

After being vigilant with all five senses, I grabbed the handle of the bayonet bound to the plate carrier.

Swoop-

At the same time, a military greatsword painted in black paint was lifted from the scabbard.

Immediately after aiming the sharp blade at the guard post.

step out slowly Like a cat and a beast approaching with their claws hidden.

Of course, the dirt floor was stepped on by the boots and creaked, but fortunately we arrived in front of the guard post without incident.

Through the window, which had only iron bars, not glass, I could see the sleeping sentries. With the gun standing on the wall, he even covered it with a blanket to block the chill of dawn.

One was lying face down on a desk, and the other was sprawled across a chair with arms crossed.

As soon as I finished grasping it, I moved quickly without any hesitation.

hooked

It was an accurate stabbing of a soldier with his arms folded in the upper part of his collarbone with a bayonet.

I shouldn’t have delayed.

“Cer… … .”

I stabbed again before the sound of gasping for breath spread.

This time on the flank under the right rib.

Fu-wook-

Raised a blade and stabbed it upwards, enough to split the liver.

Tuduk, the moment the disparate tactile sensation of something exploding passed through the sword to the fingertips, the briefly convulsed soldier slumped.

Slowly, he quietly drew his greatsword and approached the soldier lying on the desk.

He cut the knife once.

After a simple process, the situation was spread through the neck micro.

“Charlie 1, this is Charlie 4, guard post clear. I will open the door.”

-Charlie Hana, reception complete.

The moment he heard Jake’s voice, approached the front door and tried to open the lock.

Tadadang! Fight against each other!

Gunshots rang out.

The sound of gunfire as M4s and AK-47s engage.

It was a kind of signal that Charlie’s team’s strategy was shifting to Plan B.

He spoke briefly to the hard-faced Jake.

“I’m in the lead again this time.”
