Blackfield : DeadLine - Chapter 1
Episode 1. Blackfield.(1)
With a puff of heat and dust, the inside of the barracks penetrated.
“Today’s operation is to neutralize the leadership of SISS, a Sunni-affiliated force. “Our troops are forty-nine people from five nine battalions, including us, and the enemy is individually armed, and the estimated number of troops is approximately 350 to 500.”
Unit commander Shahran explained the operation while pointing at the stretched map with his baton.
“what?”
“Just stay still.”
When Algerian Dayeru asked in English, which was slightly better than French, Kang Chan gave a short answer.
“The 3rd district is responsible for path development and cover. Keep this in mind. The operation lasts until the enemy leader Masalan is killed. If the operation is successful, we will withdraw regardless of the remaining enemies.”
“Is it tea?”
“sudden!”
Dayeru stuck his neck out and rolled his big eyes.
“Departure is in 30 minutes. Any questions? There, Gangchan!”
After Shahran finished speaking, he gestured with his chin, and all eyes focused on Kang Chan.
“Is the dropout time the same as before?”
Shahran nodded without hesitation at Kang Chan’s fluent French. This concludes the strategy meeting.
There were 30 minutes left until departure, time to check the equipment and smoke a cigarette.
“Chani!”
Dayeru is so big that his forearms sticking out of his sleeveless shirt are as big as Kang Chan’s thighs. She had a bald head and big eyes. She was born in Algeria, and her skin was dark, so her eyes and white teeth shined particularly brightly.
Once you get angry, you can’t take any action, and because of that personality, you can’t live without losing. However, he too was able to outwit Kang Chan, the district captain, and came in. Because he is even more poisonous than himself.
“All right!”
“Yes.”
“Kill me. And when I say it, you’re out. okay? kill! I signal! Fall in! Understand?”
“okay!”
In dozens of large and small battles, Dayeru only followed Kang Chan. For him, who could not understand the urgent French language coming from the radio, Kang Chan’s simple and clear explanations and instructions were his only lifeline.
Cheek!
“depart.”
When the squad leader’s command was heard, Kang Chan stood up, and the members of the former squad followed him.
Three members have not yet been added to the 12-member team.
There is a Korean captain, three Algerians, one Australian, two Americans, and two French. The official term is French, and although the test is emphasized more than anything, Dayeru insisted on Kang Chan’s insistence to pass it and eventually brought him here.
The winds in Africa are dry and hot.
When you breathe, the heat seems to melt your nose and lungs, so covering your nose and mouth with a muffler actually makes you feel cooler.
There were still about 20 minutes left to reach the destination, so Kang Chan took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket and put it to his mouth.
Clap. Tsk. Tsk. Cheeeeeeeee.
On days when the temperature is high, the gasoline in a Zippo lighter evaporates and burns often occur, and there have also been accidents where the friction of the fibers in the pocket catches fire. So in places like this, they mix oil into Zippo lighters. Instead, the fire doesn’t start right away, but anyway, it’s better than not being able to turn on the fire because the gasoline has run out.
“Whoa.”
Kang Chan exhaled a long puff of cigarette smoke.
‘2007.’
I didn’t want to be in the habit of counting the days every time I went into battle, so I intentionally recalled the training over and over again. It was his resolve not to become a mayfly, but now it has become a habit.
“captain.”
“what?”
Kang Chan was so used to speaking Korean that he could speak Korean unless it was a special situation. And in tense moments, emotions were conveyed with strange accuracy.
“Tonight, harem okay?”
“No-kay!”
Smithen is an ignorant American bastard.
He always talked about his dream of marrying a pretty French woman, growing a ranch, vineyards, and building a winery, but no one among his colleagues believed that he would achieve that dream. The downside was that he liked women too much, and the upside was that his colleagues could rest comfortably while he was out looking for women.
“Stop!”
At the words that Kang Chan muttered to himself, all of Daewon Koo seemed frozen and could not move.
It’s a grassland.
It was still before the dry season, so there were still bushes here and there.
Kang Chan stepped on the cigarette he had thrown on the floor and quickly looked around.
‘what?’
The most obvious reason why Kang Chan has been able to survive in this bloody land so far, and the reason why the members of the old guard believe his every word more than a weapon, is because of his current sense.
2km to destination.
The rescue team members were desperately looking around and trying to find the reason why Kang Chan stopped.
“Hey, Malkop!”
Kang Chan pointed his index and middle fingers toward Malkov’s eyes and then pointed his fingers toward the ten o’clock and two o’clock directions again. He tells us to look in that direction with a telescope.
“No, Chani.”
Malkov shook his head.
“What?”
If you do not participate in the operation without a specific reason, you will be forced to leave the country if you are lucky, and if you are unlucky, you may be sentenced to death.
My heart is pounding.
But what on earth is this anxiety that comes over me to the point where my heart feels tight?
Kang Chan took a deep breath.
He put his index and middle fingers together to indicate where each person should sit, starting from the left. At his gesture, the crew members moved quickly and nimbly as if the battle had already begun.
Faba Park.
Smithen was even jumping behind a slender tree with a clear view ahead, like a scene from a movie.
‘That bastard!’
Kang Chan, who saw the white dust created by Smithen rising like a signal flare, took two deep breaths to suppress his murderous intent.
Now the only one left is Dayeru.
“All right.”
‘Daye’, which started out as a short name because the letters at the end sound like a Japanese word, eventually became the name the entire crew called him.
He approached quickly, shaking his large body from side to side.
The eyes of Kang Chan’s tanned, chocolate-colored face were shining. A person with a thin face, big eyes, and an Asian face. There are more than a few people who attacked someone who saw their slim body and ended up with a damaged body. Well, now the rumors are spreading, so no one is attacking me.
“I will kill you no matter what.”
“must?”
The word “unconditional” came out of Kang Chan’s mouth. Of course, the Korean word for ‘unconditionally’ is ‘unconditional’. It was the seventh time I had heard this in the past five years of being together, and it meant that today was going to be a really difficult day.
Dayeru nodded and thought that Koreans were a very harsh people. The Korean word he knows, ‘unconditionally’, means to kill everything in sight. What kind of people lives with words like that?
“What are you doing?”
Dayeru hurriedly moved to the instructed position.
“hmm.”
Kang Chan crouched down behind Dayeru with the eight members of the team spread out like a bow.
‘Even if it’s a shame, let’s not regret it.’
This was a thought in case the current choice was wrong. Because of his previous achievements, deportation was almost certain. It is better to be exiled than to kill all my men in this damned land.
At first, he thought it was a coincidence.
However, after ignoring my senses, I faced a critical situation and lost several colleagues there, my thoughts changed, and the effect was almost perfect.
Piyung! Piyyyung! Piyung! Piyuuung!
At that time, a sharp sound of cutting through the air was heard.
“Chani!”
Malkov threw down his telescope and called out to him.
I already saw Kang Chan too.
Almost all of our allies who were walking fell to the sniper’s gun.
“Fuck.”
It’s a trap. It was completely missing.
“어떤 개새끼가!”
At this rate, information was clearly leaked internally.
Kang Chan quickly looked back. He saw an enemy approaching from afar. Surrounded widely like a net.
“Listen carefully!”
In this case, it is always Korean.
“Kill me absolutely!”
Kang Chan glanced at his colleagues.
“Retreat to Alpha Kill. okay? “Retreat to Alpha Kill.”
It was a location designated separately by Kang Chan before departure. This is the method that Kang Chan has set since he became the district captain, so of course the headquarters does not know about it.
There is no rescue for this damned mercenary after the retreat time has passed.
So Kang Chan would always designate a separate location, wait there, and then join separately. This is the reason why he is still the district captain despite his tremendous achievements, and the reason why the members follow him, risking death if he says so.
“Chani!”
When he turned his head, Dayeru’s white eyes were flashing and he was spewing out murderous energy.
“No-kay today?”
“Kill them all!”
Dayeru opened its large snout and exposed its white teeth. She meant he knew too. The meaning of Kang Chan being supported by evil to this extent.
Kang Chan quickly looked away.
You can distinguish the enemy’s face if you approach him ten steps. It is true that they are Sunni because they cover their front with a hood and turn the end of their turban from the left to their chin.
“Mong!”
Kang Chan put two fingers together and pointed at 11 o’clock. French names were cut because they were too long and difficult to say during battle.
When he pointed at an enemy who was carrying a heavy weapon that would be used to kill a tank, Mon Aschel, who is excellent at sniping, immediately aimed at him.
Taaaang!
“hey! “You can’t shoot straight!”
“Zuuu Desjolais!”
Crunch. Taaaaang!
As dust rose, the enemy holding the grenade launcher was spread out on the floor. At the same time, the dirt bounced up from under Kang Chan’s feet.
Kang Chan quickly picked up the gun and pulled the trigger.
Taaaang!
The familiar smell of gunpowder filled my nose, and the target immediately disappeared to the floor.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-tang!
The sounds of various gunshots mixed together, making my ears tingle.
‘500 people.’
Taaaang!
Each time he pulled the trigger, they fell one by one.
‘There are enough bullets.’
Kang Chan flipped over from his prone position and lifted only his upper body.
“Mong!”
He raised his left index finger and wrapped it around his right three fingers. The operation was ridiculously simple. This means that the three of you should surround and cover the sniper Mon Aschel. When someone dies, they place the loaded gun on the ground and lean it against it to use it as cover.
Kang Chan turned around again and pulled the trigger in succession.
Taaaang! Taaaang! Taaaang!
In this damned land, even the sound of gunfire rings like shit.
He pulled the trigger as fast as he could. This is because my heart is pounding because there is still something left.
“Boo!”
At that moment, the sound of Smithen swearing was heard.
There is no time to look back now. It was a time when my colleagues had to take care of themselves. I had to kill at least one more enemy before they all fell. Mont Ashel aims for the heads of enemies holding heavy weapons and those lying prone, while other members of the old squad kill anyone who comes close.
70m.
Taang! Taaaang! Taaaang!
They heard someone talking from over there, so they all fell to the ground and didn’t come any closer. Only then did Kang Chan approach Smithen, holding his gun by his side and holding him on the ground.
“Damn it! “Does it hurt a lot?”
Smithen gasped and looked at him. Another Algerian, Apsala, was pressing hard on his right abdomen, red blood seeping out between his fingers.
“Give me morphine?”
“No morphine, Chani. Heo-eok, heo-eok.”
If the hole in the front was that big, there was a hole in the back that was over a span, so the intestines must have touched the dirt. Kang Chan looked around again, thinking that he needed to find a way.
“Chani.”
When Kang Chan turned his head, Smithen was trying to hold on to a ray of hope with his extremely ignorant gaze.
“Am I no-kay?”
“You idiot. Who am I? Smithen! Hoo, em, ai!”
Smithen opened his mouth wide and smiled.
“God, of, oh oh oh oh! Blackfield. Huh! Haaa… … .”
He barely finished speaking and took a deep breath.
Apsala looked up and saw him.
know. That there is not much time left.
Crumbling.
At that time, a loud mechanical sound struck the surroundings.
‘Even a tank?’
But my heart is still pounding. It meant that there was more danger left. Now was the time to make a decision.
‘We’ll break through like this.’
I was prepared to go to the headquarters where the enemy’s leadership was hiding.
Just as he was about to explain the situation,
Pow!
A dull sound was heard and the world turned white.
‘Plague… … .’
And it hurt like my head and neck were being torn apart.
***
Intense light penetrated my eyes.
The back of my head and neck hurt like I had broken it, and I had no energy at all, as if my whole body had been vacuumed.
‘Isn’t he dead?’
I tried to open my eyes, but I couldn’t lift a finger.
‘water… water.’
I was thirsty. My throat was burning as if I had swallowed cracked rice fields, so I couldn’t even speak properly.
“teacher! Here you go!”
‘Ask for water… … .’
Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.
It was then that I started hearing mechanical sounds.
I felt someone hand over my eyes, but all I could see was still white light.
‘Ask for water.’
“Can you hear me? “If you hear it, blink.”
‘You stupid bastard. ‘You have to let go to blink.’
This time I felt them holding my hand.
“Try squeezing my hand.”
Kang Chan tried his best to move his hands with the sole intention of wanting to drink water.
“great! good!”
I kept hearing people talking about what was good, but they didn’t actually give me any water.
‘Muul.’
Kang Chan’s consciousness became blurred, as if he was falling asleep again.
