At the same time, the bullets were lighter and they could bring more ammunition to the battlefield. There won't be an instance where one would run out of bullets while fighting.
It was after a comprehensive discussion that the M16 was selected for this operation.
And the QBZ-95s that T6 had mentioned were assault rifles manufactured by their country. The 7.62 bullets were discarded during the design process and they chose to incorporate the M16's 5.8 bullets into the design. Although it was close, they didn't manage to reach those parameters.
Ye Jian was tempted too when K7 mentioned that he wanted to get a few M16s back.
It was possible to get one back. There was also an M16 assault rifle in Fujun Town's armory. However, the magazine could only be filled with twenty rounds, unlike the magazines that Captain Xia and the rest had. Those were thirty round magazines.
As a gun enthusiast, she also likes disassembling and assembling different guns.
"Let's find them once we have sorted this out. If we manage to find any, we can take them. The government of Pakistan doesn't have the time to clean up the guns from these al-Qaeda members." Xia Jinyuan opened his mouth immediately after Ye Jian had thought about it, as if… he understood what Ye Jian had in mind.
That conversation was the last sentence that consisted of more than ten words. What followed were all short phrases.
The gunfire from the government forces was still strong and had never stopped for a moment. Meanwhile, gunfire from the al-Qaeda was not to be underestimated too, posing a problem for the government forces. They couldn't send any of their forces to help with entering the base camp. Snow Region Brigade would have to go in alone!
J5 was getting nearer to K7 when he shouted, "I have an infrared on me. I need support, clear the infrared!"
The only one who could support him was K7, but a voice came over from K7, "I have an infrared on me too. Brother, help yourself!"
They had entered an area of infrared surveillance cameras that flies couldn't even escape from. They could only help themselves now.
As soon as the transport plane arrived, the infrared surveillance cameras that they shut down to evacuate the space were turned on again. What a frustrating outcome! According to the reports from Pakistan, there were no infrared surveillance cameras in the mountains, they were all human sentries!
It could be seen that the information pried out from Pabel was not completely true. The interrogator didn't check it thoroughly and gave the Chinese side the wrong intel.
"I think… I know where the controls are." Ye Jian kept her sniper rifle. "Identity will temporarily change from sniper to assault. Rest assured, I will handle it now."
Bending down from a slope, she fluttered to the ground like a hawk. "There are a total of four people here. 80% probability of winning."
Leaning against the wall, before Xia Jinyuan could even answer Ye Jian, he saw a red dot flashing in front of him. Thanks to his sharp eyes, he rolled on the ground and towards another corner.
Sweating slightly on his back, he whispered, "Half has been blown up, the other half is still operating normally. I'm discovered."
Just as he finished his sentence, shots were fired and what followed was the sound of continuous machine guns firing at him. "I've run into machine guns. Ye Jian, destroy the infrared within five minutes! Go!"
The low-pitched voice came quickly and steadily. Ye Jian knew that he had run into a machine gun when she heard the shots.
Her body was pressed against the wall as she entered the back of the muddy dwelling house where she had been observing from her sniper position.
