Chapter 922 Action Begins (asking for monthly ticket)

After two days of simulation training.

Ronnie had long seen through this mysterious special operations team called Nuofu.

Not only the captain Lei Wanshan, but also the young man code-named "Night Owl" is a very powerful character.

Many times, even Lei Wanshan had to ask for his opinion.

"The original plan for the coordinated raid by Group A and Group B was to use air superiority to achieve a quick victory, but if the convoy carries heavy weapons, our helicopters will become sitting ducks."

Lei Wanshan stroked the wrinkles on the edge of the tactical map, his eyes swept over the contour lines marking the town of Bashim, and he poked the tactical pen heavily on the mountain pass outside the town.

"This is the only way to enter the town. We suggest sending someone to conduct reconnaissance nearby to confirm the equipment status of the convoy."

"Don't worry, we have already arranged people to investigate."

Carlos replied.

Lei Wanshan nodded and continued:

"The action plan can remain unchanged, but if this convoy is really a reinforcement, regardless of whether the intelligence has been leaked, the target may be prepared. We must have the electronic warfare troops paralyze the communications around the town before the rooftop rappel. The Al-Qaeda armed forces that lose contact will be at least 10 to 15 minutes late in their response."

“We can set up tackles.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ji followed up with another sentence.

He ran his finger across the desert at the edge of the screen. "This open area is suitable for setting up an interception. It allows the rapid response forces to prepare here in advance. If necessary, it can effectively delay the time it takes for the enemy's support to enter the town."

"I'll arrange this."

Ronnie agreed immediately.

Just like that, everyone worked out a new plan in a few words.

Time passed by minute by minute.

In less than twenty minutes, new intelligence arrived from the Yemeni front.

The investigator sent the video.

The picture shows that after the convoy entered the town, it went straight to every household to negotiate, probably to collect spices.

Yemen is a country of spices, and almost all farmers grow some frankincense, myrrh, etc. for festivals, religious ceremonies and sales.

Everyone was relieved.

But the suspicion of the convoy was not completely cleared, and people continued to keep an eye on it.

Until the next morning.

Gu Ji packed his equipment, boarded the transport plane with the Stinger on time, and flew directly to the US military base in Saudi Arabia.

It was exactly 130: a.m. local time when the landing gear of the C- transport plane rolled over the asphalt runway of the U.S. military base in Saudi Arabia.

The runway lights outside the porthole formed a cold blue light chain in the night. The airflow stirred by the propeller carried fine sand and hit the fuselage, making a crackling sound like sandpaper polishing metal.

Gu Ji, Gao Bo and others walked to the rear hatch.

I immediately smelled the dry, hot air coming in through the gap in the sealed door, mixed with the rough smell of diesel and fine sand.

The hatch was barely open.

At a glance, they saw four helicopters arranged in a diamond shape on the tarmac, and the desert digital camouflage on the surface of the fuselage had a matte texture under the moonlight.

Two of the helicopters, which look like Black Hawks, are the latest high-tech of the US military mentioned in the plan: the MH-X stealth helicopter.

However, Gao Bo and others did not find it strange.

Because this was not the first time they had seen this thing.

As early as the Iran mission.

Riddle had used the same type of helicopter to steal a high-value hypersonic intercontinental nuclear missile head in front of everyone.

Compared with the ordinary Black Hawk, its five-blade rotor uses a serrated noise-reduction edge, which can effectively reduce the noise generated by the high-speed rotation of the blades. The radar-absorbing coating covering the fuselage skin presents a fine scaly texture under the light.

"Our people should be arriving soon, right?"

"According to the time, we should have landed in Saudi Arabia by now."

The town of Bashim in Abyan Governorate, Yemen.

Zeng Dan and Chen Zhiyu followed Carlos to the observation point early in the morning.

The room they are currently in is about 400 meters away from the target building, and the entrance and exit doors can be seen directly with a telescope.

"Have you seen the information about the personnel activities of that team today?"

"I've checked it, and it's all right."

"I hope everything goes well..."

"Wait, Sister Ma, look at this!"

Zeng Dan left the telescope and just sighed.

As a result, he was interrupted by Chen Zhiyu's exclamation.

I saw someone coming over with a special military tablet, and the screen displayed the current temperature, wind speed, humidity, and air thermal value.

That's right.

Ever since CTOC learned the lesson from the Jingzhou incident, their intelligence department has been more cautious.

In addition to monitoring the target Al-Qaeda base and foreign convoys here with the CIA, Zeng Dan also asked Chen Zhiyu to investigate the local weather and environmental data every day.

I am just afraid that the disaster of heavy rain in Jingzhou will happen again.

In recent days, humidity in Abyan province has remained below 50%.

This is normal. After all, most parts of Yemen are dry and water-scarce. Otherwise, they would not only grow drought-resistant crops such as spices and coffee beans.

However, the wind speed and air thermal value increased by 13% percentage points in just a few hours, which has deviated from normal changes and is equivalent to a precursor to sudden abnormal weather.

"Sister Ma, will it be possible..."

Chen Zhiyu hesitated.

In a country like Yemen, most areas have a tropical arid climate, and the possibility of heavy rain is relatively low, but sandstorms are frequent, especially in the spring between March and April.

And humidity, wind speed, air thermal value;

These are the three necessary conditions for extreme sandstorm weather!

"No, we have to inform Captain Lei about this immediately..."

"Buzz!"

"There's news from home!"

US military base in Saudi Arabia.

Just as Gu Ji and others were about to board the Black Hawk stealth helicopter, Lei Wanshan suddenly took out a special satellite phone and shouted.

Then he showed the message sent by Zeng Dan.

"Combined with meteorological satellite monitoring, there is a 70% probability of a strong sandstorm occurring in the target area within eight hours."

"Sandstorm?"

"Damn it, this isn't a natural phenomenon, but something created by that THEO organization using weather weapons, right?"

The air froze instantly in front of the Black Hawk helicopter.

This time, before Gao Bo could speak, Wu Kang couldn't help but burst into cursing.

He had witnessed the heavy rain in Jingzhou with his own eyes, and had participated in the prevention and control of the Baihe Dam breach. Naturally, he knew how terrifying this natural disaster was.

It is simply beyond human control.

"If a sandstorm breaks out during an operation, our drone swarms and satellite communications will all fail."

Ronnie's face immediately turned serious when he heard the news.

Then he swept his eyes across everyone's tense faces and said, "This will render the originally planned air support, electronic jamming, and reconnaissance systems useless."

"Whether the sandstorm is man-made or not, we must be prepared for no satellite navigation and no communication relay."

Gu Ji took out a waterproof map from his tactical backpack and used a red pen to draw a hidden canyon on the west side of the town.

"If air support fails, we must choose a safe evacuation route that can get closer to the interception area of ​​the rapid reaction force that was previously responsible for the interception, so as to buy us more evacuation windows."

“This is a good change!”

Ronnie nodded, his cheeks puffed up as he said, "Then adjust the combat deployment. Once the sandstorm comes, all operations will immediately switch to ground combat. The quick reaction force will give priority to covering us in evacuating the target Zaka and the intelligence data!"

"Yes!"

The Ranger Quick Reaction Team who were preparing to board the plane responded immediately.

After receiving the sandstorm information, mechanics from the base's air crew department immediately began installing anti-wind and sand filters on helicopters.

As the broadcast of "Operation Begins" sounded, the command for soldiers to assemble echoed on the empty tarmac.

The crisp sound of various metal tools colliding together, interweaving with the warm-up roar of fighter jet engines in the distance, formed a unique prelude to the battlefield.

At two o'clock in the morning, the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds.

The sound of the rotors of four helicopters echoed in the night sky.

The MH-47E Chinook helicopter that Gu Ji's team was riding in flew over the Saudi border and headed towards the small town of Bashim.

Inside the cabin, the team members' breathing could be clearly heard.

Li Yanan was calibrating the infrared imager for the final time, while Wu Kang was repeatedly checking the tactical accessories of the 191 rifle.

"We have left the safe airspace now!"

"JSTARS attack radar surveillance aircraft begins jamming in one minute!"

"F-15E fighter jets and RQ-4 Global Hawk drones have set off!"

"Repeat, the Kunlun ship is approaching the waters near the target area!"

The pilot's voice and various combat orders sounded from the headset one after another.

This means they have left Saudi Arabia and officially infiltrated into Yemen.

Gu Ji looked through the porthole and saw a large dark area with only a few large cities emitting faint yellow light, like lighthouses in the darkness.

From time to time, they could hear one or two gunshots.

It’s not that the enemy has discovered them, but that Yemen has been in chaos and local fighting often occurs.

Ye Xiaoshu opened the military tablet.

The latest drone data was flashing on it. Xia Country’s Rainbow 4B drone had been launched and was currently hovering high above the target area.

The town of Bashim in the camera looks like white debris scattered on the yellow sand.

Immediately, the four helicopters began to split into two groups.

Two of the Chinooks went to the northern part of the town to establish support and interception, while the Black Hawk stealth fighter jet where Gu Ji and others were located headed straight for the target point.

"We will reach the target area in three minutes. Turn off the cabin lighting and activate the emergency lighting system!"

As the helicopter crossed the last ridge.

Gu Ji finally saw the outline of the town of Bashim in front of him gradually become clear, and the red emergency light in the cabin cast a cold glow on his helmet.

Ye Xiaoshu began to try to establish communication with Chen Zhiyu's intelligence department.

"This is Stalker 2. We will be arriving over the target area in three minutes. What's the situation on site?"

"Zizizi... This is Hawkeye. There's no problem at the scene. I think I heard your voices..."

In the small town of Bashim.

Chen Zhiyu and Zeng Dan were standing by the window, observing the target building through binoculars.

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a faint sound coming from a distance.

The next second, two dark shadows appeared in the distant air.

I have to say that the MH-X Black Hawk stealth helicopter is indeed very quiet.

Normally, the noise of the propeller can be heard from two kilometers away.

Now that I have seen the helicopter, I only feel the sound of it approaching.

But compared to the humans who are still sleeping.

The dogs in the yards of the households heard the noise and started barking wildly.

When the helicopter entered the town.

"Ready! Countdown 5 seconds!"

Lei Wanshan chuckled.

Gu Ji and others immediately took off the four-eye night vision goggles on their helmets. At the same time, the hatch opened. Gao Bo and Li Yanan leaned out from both sides with guns in hand and aimed at the building below.

"Found at 11 o'clock."

At this time, Gao Bo spoke first, "Infrared shows that there is a civilian on the second floor, who appears to be holding a child. He poses no threat and has no weapons."

The helicopter was so close that some civilians would definitely be woken up.

But even so, he did not move the gun away.

Because in this place where the high-level base of Al-Qaeda is located, every civilian may be hiding an AK.

Who knows if that figure will pull out a rocket in the next second.

"There's movement near the target building!"

Soon, Li Yanan also noticed that in the shadows on the east side of the target building, there were several moving heat sources approaching the courtyard wall. "Suspected armed personnel were spotted on the east side!"

While she was reporting, Ye Xiaoshu immediately circled the location on the tablet with his fingers.

"Pay attention and descend as planned."

Lei Wanshan shouted.

Gu Ji saw that the Black Hawk One in front had begun to hover above the target building.

The moment the hatch opened, several Delta team members fell towards the roof like black shadows.

Their helicopter also arrived at the target building. Gu Ji only felt the fuselage suddenly stop and the rope had already dropped from the cabin door.

But at this moment, gunshots suddenly rang out.

A bullet flew past the hatch, leaving a trail of sparks on the metal skin.

It was the militants that Li Yanan had discovered earlier who fired the shots.

"Avoid! Avoid!" The pilot's roar tore through the communication channel.

"Li Yanan, get rid of them!"

Gu Ji felt the helicopter suddenly tilt to the right, and the overload caused his tactical vest to tightly squeeze his shoulders.

"Yes!"

Li Yanan responded and immediately pulled the trigger.

As soon as the gunshot was heard, an armed man in the yard fell down.

The rope slapped against the bulkhead in its violent vibration, and Gu Ji fastened the stinger's lock to his body.

Lei Wanshan suddenly patted him on the shoulder, the visor of his tactical helmet reflecting the fire below: "According to the emergency plan, we will break in from the east side of the yard!"

"Understood! Gao Bo, get ready!"

Gu Ji grabbed the shaking rope.

As soon as the order was given, the scout Gao Bo jumped down the moment the helicopter climbed again.

The night wind whistled in my ears.

The moment Gu Ji landed, the soles of his tactical boots created a cloud of dust on the sandy ground.

He rolled quickly into the shadows, dropped the stinger, and grabbed the 191 rifle from his chest.

The rooftop, which should have been quiet, was now filled with the sound of muffled fire between Delta team members and the enemies in the building.

at the same time.

Several figures rushed out from the courtyard in front, and were charging towards them with weapons raised.

One of the militants was holding a rocket and pointing it at the helicopter in the sky.

"Be careful ahead! RPG!!" (End of this chapter)
