Thanks to his experience in Africa, Gao Yang is no longer familiar with using bows and arrows. However, the bows and arrows he has used are very small, not very powerful, and his accurate head is not very good. The method of using is to ambush, or quietly approach the prey and shoot at close range. Therefore, Gao Yang is fine for archery, but if the distance is far, the accurate head cannot be guaranteed.

If you want to touch the whistle, you don’t have to have a long range. The key is to get close quietly, so Gao Yang asked Yifan to buy him a sports recurve bow, plus dozens of target arrows.

Generally speaking, recurved bows are more accurate than pulley bows. Modern archery competitions are basically the world of recurved bows. Because to be used at close range, Gao Yang needs an entry-level recurved bow with only 30 pounds of pulling force, and not all of them are auxiliary accessories, but only a naked bow is left.

Lucica could use whistle to whistle, but in Bogota, quivering can be harder to buy than recurve bows, and it was not easy to buy a ready-made quiver. Finally, when it was almost dark, Ivan bought a wooden quivering can and more than a dozen quivering cans from an Indian native.

Gao Yang and his friends stayed in the downtown of Bogota, so they certainly couldn't set off directly from the hotel in broad daylight.

When it was slightly dark, the Ivans' convoy took Gao Yang and the others from the hotel to a manor in the suburbs.

In a room, there were four fully armed people, two of whom were bodyguards who had been following Ivan. Gao Yang had seen them several times, but Ivan had never introduced his two bodyguards to Gao Yang, while the other two were the first time Gao Yang met.

Ivan's four men were all wearing black combat uniforms, carrying an AK74 on their backs, and there was a large night vision device on their helmet. What's more special is that the night vision device has two independent lenses. In addition to all equipped with an Ak74, they also brought a gun with a muffler installed.

It's okay if you don't know each other, but you're going to fight together, so you can't even call your name. Ivan pointed to a bodyguard who followed him at any time and said, "Ram, let me introduce you. Antonov, you can call him a shield from the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Sergei, you can call him wine barrels. Like Antonov, he was also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Special Forces, but they are not the same unit."

"Samuel. You can call him Hammer. He comes from Alpha. I guess you all know this army."

"Brekinvsky, you can call him Xiong, the General Staff Intelligence Bureau Gruu U troops, the airborne troops."

Ivan introduced his four subordinates one by one. And all of his four subordinates are from extraordinary origins, all of whom came from special forces.

The Russian special forces are very complex and basically belong to three categories. One is the FSB special forces of the General Security Administration of the Russian Federation, namely the former KGB special forces. It is famous for the commando teams such as alpha, signal flag, barrier, and beta. Among them, alpha mainly operates in Russia, and Samuel is a former member of Alpha.

Second, the Gruu Special Forces of the General Staff Intelligence Bureau, that is, the special combat brigades of the Army and Navy, and the airborne special combat brigades belonging to independent troops also belong to this category. The combat missions of this type of force are similar to the special combat brigades of the military region in China, or the military-unique special forces such as the Green Beret of the United States. The Gruu Special Forces of Russia are more mysterious than the Alpha and the Signal Flag, and Brekinvsky is the one who came out of this type of force.

Third, the Ministry of Internal Affairs MVD special forces have similar functions to the special forces of the armed police in China. This type of special forces undertakes many tasks. One of the key ones is to take on the security work of politicians and senior officials, and the personal bodyguards of senior officials are also selected from this type of special forces. Antonov and Sergei both came from this type of troops.

Antonov is not too tall, nearly 1.8 meters tall, but he is very honest. At his forties, he usually looks like an ordinary middle-aged man standing beside Ivan. He is neither powerful nor conspicuous. He is the kind of person who can't be distinguished by the crowd. Sergei is the same. Although he is a little taller than Antonov, he also looks like an ordinary person, not showing off. After hearing Ivan's introduction, Gao Yang understood why Antonov and Sergei are always by his side, because these two people must have been responsible for the security work of politicians.

Those who serve as bodyguards must have strong personal strength, but more importantly, when the object of protection is in danger, the first thing to consider is not to kill the enemy, but to stand up and block bullets for the object of protection. Therefore, Ivan made Antonov and Sergei a professional counterpart.

As for Samuel, who was born in the Alpha force and Brekinwsky, who was born in the Gruu Special Forces, it is definitely no problem to let them engage in aggressive combat, but it is not enough to take on the job of a personal bodyguard.

After Ivan introduced others one by one, Gao Yang had to introduce all the members of the Satan Mercenary Group. When introducing Grolev, Grolev nodded at Brekinvsky and said, "You are an airborne soldier, and the original troops are also affiliated with Gruu. So are you from the 45th Special Forces of the Independent Guards of the Airborne Army?"

Brikinwsky's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, I came from the 45th Regiment, but when I was in service, my team number was the 45th Independent Reconnaissance Regiment. In the year I retired, the number was changed back to the 45th Special Regiment of the Airborne Independent Guards. Why, you also came from the 45th Regiment?"

Grolev smiled and said, "Yes, I am from the 218th Special Operations Battalion of the Independent Airborne Forces. Since I merged with the 901st Battalion to form the 45th Regiment, I have been a member of the 45th Regiment."

Brikinvsky could be said to be in awe. He looked in disbelief and said, "You are from the 218th Battalion? Then you must have participated in the Chechen War, right? What is your military rank?"

When he met his comrades from the same unit, Grolev seemed in a good mood. He nodded and smiled, "Yes, I participated. He arrived in Chechnya on December 2, 1994 and returned to Moscow in 1995. Then he joined the mixed squadron and went to Chechnya again. He stayed in Grozny for a while. Then, the Second Chechen War went to Grozny again. He entered Grozny again in December 1999. After recovering Grozny in February 2000, I quickly withdrew from the army. Well, when I retired, I was the rank of warrant officer platoon leader."

Brikinvsky stood at attention, then raised his hand and saluted, and said with his head raised: "Sir, the Second Assault Team of the 45th Independent Investigation Corps, Sergeant Brikinvsky saluted you!"

Grolev responded to Brikinvsky with a serious salute, and then chuckled: "It's been many years since I came out, and it's the first time I've met someone from the old army. I'm very happy."

Grolev was very happy, but Brekinvsky looked nervous and anxious. After Grolev finished speaking, he said carefully: "Sir, the 45th Regiment participated in two Chechen wars, and they participated in the war as soldiers or subordinate officers. There seemed to be only seven people. I remember that only one of these seven people retired as a platoon leader. The man was called Yuri Grolevsky Ivanov. I want to know if that person is you?"

After a moment of silence, Grolev finally nodded and said, "Yes, that person is me, well, how did you know me?"

Brekinvsky was breathing rapidly. He looked at Grolev with admiration and said, "My God, I saw the living legend. Why do I know you? Because your photos and names are hung on the wall of honor of the 45th Regiment. In order to avenge the dead comrades in the First Chechen War, they insisted on retiring until the end of the Second Chechen War. You were alive and won the title of hero of the Russian Federation, first-class national medal, and the Medal of Braveness. I think it is difficult for a legend like you to not know you. Sir, as your junior comrade, I admire the deeds you have done, but I don't understand why you were not promoted to a senior officer, why did you insist on retiring?"

Listening to the pile of titles that Brikinvsky said, Gao Yang and others who claim to be very familiar with Grolev were stunned. After Brikinvsky asked the last question, Gao Yang and the others wanted to know more than Brikinvsky that if Grolev was promoted to a senior officer, it would definitely be ten thousand times better than being a mercenary. And even if they retired, these contributions alone would be enough to let Grolev lie on the credit book for his whole life.

After a moment of silence, Grolev shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "I really don't know that I can still get on the wall of honor of the 45th Regiment. As for why I insist on retiring, this reason is very complicated. If I didn't want to avenge my dead brothers, I would retire if I ended the First Chechen War. In the Second Chechen War, I avenged my brothers, so I retired immediately."

Gao Yang couldn't help saying, "Fak, you told us that a big man gave you a medal, and then you retired, but you didn't say you were a Russian hero."

Grolev's experience and honors he received were too different from Gao Yang's impression when he first met him. When he first met Grolev, he was a free mercenary, and he was a free mercenary who could participate in a battle for 500 dollars. A Russian hero was the lowest cannon fodder mercenary. Although there was his friend at the time, the contrast was still too strong.

Grolev shrugged and said, "There is nothing to be proud of as a hero. No, there are only a few people left in our commando team. Everyone's credit, but I finally got the medal. Is there anything to be proud of?"
