Tranxending Vision - Chapter 823

Chapter 823: 823

The four helicopters started to approach them . When they were about two kilometres away, Xia Lei caught sight of the logo displayed on the LCH military helicopter . It was India’s elite counter-terrorist sixty-two Air Force Assault Team . It didn’t take long for him to be able to see the armed forces piloting the aircraft . The nearest military helicopter had two of the Special Forces from the elite team . The two behind were carrying armed personnel dressed in black . There was no indication of their identity but from their face and physique, it wasn’t difficult to deduce that they were Japanese . With that being said, the passengers on the two helicopters sandwiched between the more advanced aircraft were from the Hattori clan . The Chinook aircraft in the very back had its hatch tightly shut . Xia Lei could only catch glimpses of the pilot, who was dressed in the sixty-two Air Force Assault Team’s uniform .

“It’s the Indian counter-terrorist troupe!” Xia Lei whispered harshly into the transmitter .

“Fucking hell!” Anjum Khan yelled . “They’re usually slow but today they’re exceptionally fast . They’ve been bribed to work as mercenaries now!”

“Chill out . This isn’t the time to rant about the Indian government . ” Xia Lei’s tone was heavy . “Everyone, hide well . Do not fire recklessly . We need to focus on destroying the military helicopter in the front, it poses the biggest threat to us . ”

“Got it!” responded five of the Chinese Zodiac Battle Team members .

As soon as Xia Lei had laid out the arrangements, the LCH military helicopter had entered their five hundred metre radius . The pilot was smart, choosing not to close in on the peak . They were obviously trying to use the first aircraft as bait . As soon as someone opens fire towards it, it would be akin to disturbing a beehive . The rocket launchers and cannons of the LCH aircraft would trigger the start of the intense bloodshed . With its firepower, not only was it possible to blast the mountain flat, it would definitely wipe out anyone hiding between the cracks of the rocks .

“Keep calm, keep calm…” Xia Lei instructed . “They’re trying to bait us . Do not fire your weapons!”

“But it’s just right there! It’s our best chance to fire, boss!” replied Alessio .

“I repeat, do not fire your weapons . The rotor blades will affect your aim . The glass surrounding the cabin is heavily reinforced . There’s no guarantee that we’d be able to take out the pilot in one shot and we’d only have one chance for that,” explained Xia Lei .

Though he was doing his best to calm his subordinates, he couldn’t help but get anxious too . His palms were starting to sweat from the tension . Their opponent was India’s best counter-terrorist team . They were elites of the Special Forces and the aircraft they controlled were equipped with great firepower . Great caution needed to be exercised .

The military helicopter paused in the air, prompting the three helicopters behind it to halt their approach .

This was a mind game strategy . The opponent was trying to pressure Xia Lei and the Chinese Zodiac Battle Team . There was so much one could tolerate . As soon as the stress became too much to handle, they would buckle and cave into it . This phenomenon was common in those fleeing the war, deserters would succumb to the mental stress and fall into the hands of their enemy .

Two minutes passed .

Those two minutes felt like two days to Xia Lei . It was excruciatingly difficult to sit through it . They shouldered great threats to their life with each passing second and every single second was torture .

But this was war, a gamble made on lives .

The Chinook aircraft approached them .

“What is that military helicopter in front waiting for?” Hattori Mei directed her question to a counterterrorist Special Force commander .

“Miss Beryl, please be patient . Can’t you see that everything is under control?” replied the commander . “What we’re trying to do here is pressure them . As soon as they reach their limits and fire their bullets at us, we’d be able to deduce their position and blast them to ashes . And if they plan to escape, that would make things simpler . ”

“But isn’t it obvious that the target hadn’t left the mountain? I’m just worried that they’d cross over into Pakistan before this . I think you should circle the peak to see what it’s like at the back,” said Hattori Mei .

“Give us another two minutes . If there’s no response after that, I’ll do as you say,” replied the commander .

“Are there no thermal detectors on the military helicopter?” asked Hattori Geppa, who was on the same Chinook aircraft .

“Of course, we do . Unfortunately, the detector is only useful within a certain proximity . The device is better used at night,” the commander answered .

Hattori Geppa said nothing else . It was evident from his expression that he wasn’t too pleased with the commander’s explanation and execution .

Hattori Mei anxiously glanced at her wristwatch .

Soon enough, another two minutes had passed .

“Alright, time’s up . Please have that helicopter cross over to check on the other side of the mountain,” urged Hattori Mei .

“Miss Beryl, what are you in a rush for?” The commander was reluctant to heed her request .

Hattori Mei answered, “Aren’t you aware of how cunning our opponent is? Did you know that he single-handedly took down fifty of your Mountain Division fighters?”

“Took down fifty of our Mountain Division fighters?” The Indian laughed . “Miss Beryl, you must be joking . ”

“I am not! Let me remind you that we’re near the borders to Pakistan!” Hattori Mei fumed . “If the Pakistani radar notices four Indian aircraft, their Air Forces and infantries would spring into action . The Pakistanis will definitely protect that bastard from us . By then, we’ll lose our chance to capture him! Don’t you understand the situation? You better not forget how much we paid for this operation!”

“Alright . ” The commander finally agreed . He picked up the transmitter . “Falcon, begin the operation . ”

The suspended LCH military helicopter finally began to move towards the peak of Bone Mountain .

Meanwhile, hidden between the rocks, Tsukino Kyoko was starting to get nervous .

“It’s coming closer . ”

“Yeah, I see it . Everyone, stay calm and do not open fire . We must wait for the best opportunity,” responded Xia Lei .

Abruptly, the military helicopter started to concentrate a few rocket bombs towards one spot .

Ka-boom! Ka-boom! Ka-boom!

Roaring explosion echoed through the air, reducing stones and rocks into debris . Thick smoke soon suffocated the air .

“Do not open fire! Do not open fire! This is their last probe!” Xia Lei continued to insist on staying calm . Despite that, his back was already drenched in a cold patch of sweat . The helicopter was just aimlessly launching bombs . If they somehow guessed the direction right, Xia Lei and his team would be in great danger .

Thankfully, the surface area of the peak was relatively large . It wouldn’t be easy to bomb the right spots . The statistics and their luck had to be in their favour to get through this safely . Fortunately, lady luck was still on their side for now .

After a few bombs, the military helicopter suddenly lowered its body . As it flew, it started to use its cannons on the two four-wheel drives parked at the foot of the mountain .

Whoosh!

A bomb zoomed across the air . In a blink of the eye, the two vehicles were sent flying by the impact .

“Bullseye!” The pilot in the LCH military helicopter cheered, overwhelmed with excitement . After destroying the two vehicles, he adjusted the head and flew in a straight path towards the peak .

What he hadn’t noticed was that the aircraft’s position was now on the same level as the peak .

“Fire! Now!” Xia Lei shouted through the transmitter .

As soon as his voice dropped, armour-piercing bullets were fired from seven gust assault rifles towards the pilot cabin . In that split second, it broke the bulletproof windshield, killing the pilot on the spot . If things had happened in slow motion, one would be able to see that four bullets destroyed the fortified glass and the remaining three had taken the pilot’s life .

Due to the differences in their position, their bullets had hit their target at different intervals . It wasn’t mere coincidence that the first four broke the obstacle letting the following three bullets get rid of their opponent . It was just ingenious planning!

Having lost its pilot, the helicopter went out of control . It flew past the peak and started to fall towards the ground behind the mountain . The co-pilot frantically released himself from his seat belts . Before he could take control of the wild aircraft, it was already too late!

Boom!

Flames rushed towards the sky . The deafening explosion could probably be heard from ten miles away .

“Kill them!” The commander in the Chinook aircraft went berserk .

The back hatch of the Chinook opened to allow the team’s Special Forces to abseil down from it .

At the same time, Hattori Geppa picked up one of the transmitters and proceeded to roar into it .

“Fire! Shoot them all! Kill them all!”

The other two suspended helicopters soon began to move . It closed onto the peak from both sides in coordinated timing . Inclining its body to aim its machine guns towards the peak, they started to open fire . It began to rain bullets as if it was a storm that hit the rocks . However, machine guns were not as effective as cannons . They could tear apart trees and walls but they were ultimately ineffective towards boulders . Shielded by the tough rocks, its opponents were hiding just like the army once did during World War II .

Bang! As one of the helicopters made its way around the peak, Xia Lei raised his gun . Within a second, its pilot was already slumped against its seat .

Ka-boom! Another aircraft carrying the armed Hattori men had also lost the battle .

The remaining men in the Chinook were terrified . The pilot quickly adjusted its height and retreated sideways . After pulling themselves away from the mountain at about a distance of four thousand metres, it started to unload all its firepower onto the mountain . Its heavy-duty machine guns had a bigger shooting range than the gust assault rifle did . Fortunately, the distance had made it difficult to aim precisely . The Chinook could only exercise this to pressure its enemies on the peak, buying time for themselves to land their men .

The aircraft flew rapidly towards a position beneath the peak . Ropes emerged from its hatches and sure enough, armoured counterterrorist elites came sliding down .

Holding a Hellbound One-soldier Cannon in his arms, Xia Lei called out to his team . “Hold it, hold it… Wait till they come closer . ”
