After driving and then walking, Gao Yang quickly led the Satan group to the mountain top where the border line was located.

The sun was scorching, and the entire mountain was made of rocks, black rocks at that, heated to the point where they could roast meat. Scouting at this time was definitely not a pleasant task.

Gao Yang carried a gun and stood beside a tall rock. After securing a large, high-powered telescope on a tripod, he began to observe the situation across the way.

The north of the mountain was Shah, and the south was Yemen. At the top of the mountain was the forward observation post for both Shah and Yemen, but at noon, no one was willing to stand under the sun, so they all sought shade to hide.

It’s actually springtime in Yemen now, and being on the mountain, the temperature isn’t high for the locals, but for people like Gao Yang and the others, it’s already very hot.

Wearing a white robe commonly worn by Yemenis, Gao Yang, strikingly visible, was definitely a good target for snipers, but Gao Yang was not afraid.

The magnification of the binoculars was too high, making it dizzying and impossible to see anything clearly when held by hand, but on a tripod, one could see very far.

"It’s really so close."

Gao Yang couldn’t help but remark as he stood high looking at Najran. The weather conditions were very favorable, and he could clearly see the cars driving in the city through the binoculars.

Salim stood next to Gao Yang, holding binoculars, also observing Najran. But he quickly focused his attention on the nearby area, on the mountain top opposite him, because there were Shah infantry there.

"Could it be too risky? Let’s find a more concealed place to observe."

As a high-ranking member of the Houthis Armed Forces, Salim’s courage was definitely not lacking, but he still felt it wasn’t a good idea to scout openly under the enemy’s gunpoint.

"Shah has already sent troops to attack Aden, so at any time this place could become a battlefield. We are already practically at war with Shah. If discovered, they would dare to attack us. In fact, our patrols have been exchanging fire with the Shah People these days. Just this morning, there was a small-scale battle on a nearby mountain."

Salim didn’t want to leave Gao Yang alone and hide in a safe place, as he felt it would be a loss of face, but he also felt that staying here was indeed dangerous. As he said, both sides had officially started fighting; even though the main battlefield wasn’t here, Shah didn’t need to exercise restraint anymore. The only question was whether they would treat this as the main battlefield.

Gao Yang naturally didn’t want to be a target for snipers either. The Shah People had infiltrated this area quite thoroughly; otherwise, the Yemeni patrols wouldn’t have been consistently exchanging fire with them.

"Alright, let’s leave. I just wanted to take a look at Najran."

Standing upright, Gao Yang decided to leave. He just wanted to see Najran. This was a vantage point, and moving elsewhere might obstruct the view. Now that he’d had a glance, he could naturally leave.

But at this moment, Phoenix and Salim simultaneously said, "We’ve got company!"

Phoenix was very calm, but Salim looked very surprised. Following the direction of Salim’s finger, Gao Yang quickly saw seven or eight soldiers in camouflage uniforms emerging from behind a pile of rocks.

Gao Yang swiveled the high-powered binoculars and observed the Shah soldiers only about one thousand five hundred meters away through the lens.

Through the high-powered binoculars, they could even see the ranks of the Shah soldiers. Gao Yang was surprised to discover that among the eight people on the opposite mountain top, the highest rank was a lieutenant, not a sergeant, but a lieutenant.

The lieutenant opposite was also holding binoculars and looking over, pointing and gesturing. Gao Yang couldn’t help but say, "Haha, a lieutenant, what an idiot, even wearing his rank badges."

Finishing his remark, he stood up and pointed to the tripod-mounted binoculars, saying to Salim, "Do you want to take a look? Your binoculars can’t see clearly."

Salim immediately crouched behind the binoculars, and Gao Yang took Salim’s binoculars, lifted them up for a casual look, and immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, hey, they’re setting up machine guns over there! Do you think they’re trying to scare us, or do they really want to take us out?"

Glolov, in a muffled voice, said, "I think they want to shoot at us just for the fun of it."

Salim whispered, "It’s really a lieutenant. They’re almost done setting up their machine gun. Let’s retreat."

"No, let’s take them out across the way, shall we?"

Gao Yang was discussing with Salim. If Salim was not present, he would have ordered to fire directly, but with Salim here, Gao Yang didn’t want Salim to think he was provoking the Shah military, which might prompt them to attack earlier, so he sought Salim’s opinion.

"Can you take them out?"

The question was enough. Gao Yang immediately looked at Cui Bo and shouted, "Rabbit! Right three, that’s the lieutenant."

"I’ve had my sights on him for a while, only need one shot, want to bet?"

Asking if Gao Yang wanted to bet, Cui Bo immediately fired the gun. Almost two seconds after an extremely loud gunshot, Gao Yang saw through the binoculars that the stone hill behind the lieutenant on the opposite side suddenly turned red, and the lieutenant immediately dropped to the ground.

"Wow! Lord Rabbit, awesome!"

Gao Yang gave Cui Bo a thumbs-up. Hitting a target from a distance of one thousand five hundred meters with one shot is truly difficult.

A straight-line distance of one thousand five hundred meters, but walking five kilometers might still not get there. That’s just how mountainous terrain is, so both sides could only shoot at each other over the mountain, with no one trying to rush to the opposite side.

Clearly, the Satan group was definitely not going to back down in this firefight.

"Haha, do they even know who I am? A piece of cake."

Cui Bo was also very pleased with his shot. It was indeed quite an achievement, so he didn’t hesitate to brag. At this time, however, Phoenix quietly started shooting.

Cui Bo’s gun was a 12.7mm caliber, shooting at a range of one thousand five hundred meters was challenging but within normal limits, not particularly astonishing. But Phoenix was different; she used a .338 Lapua Magnum round, which is 8.6mm in caliber. Though the cartridge was designed to improve range and power without increasing the burden on the shooter, the distance of one thousand five hundred meters was still quite far.

Yet, Phoenix took the shot and hit.

Watching Phoenix’s first shot miss the target, but hitting the machine gunner on the second shot, Gao Yang shouted more exaggeratedly, "Crow, you’re amazing!"

Cui Bo immediately fell silent, starting to continue shooting. He didn’t want Phoenix to overshadow him, but his gun had too great an advantage in this kind of competition, so he couldn’t get support from others.

Andy He shouted loudly, "Crow is amazing! Rabbit, you embarrassed yourself. You didn’t hit the target; Crow did!"
