Chapter 1495: Traps Everywhere
"It's worth the time but the safety. Lin Rui said in a low voice. "Crazy Horse, watch out for mines as you move forward. ”
Crazy Horse nodded, and pulled a crate out of the large tactical backpack behind his back. They had anticipated the possibility of landmines in this operation.
The war in Afghanistan has been going on since the Soviet invasion, and after the withdrawal of British and American troops last year, there are now nearly a million landmines buried in Afghanistan. Nearly 100,000 victims of this amputation have already been killed, and it would take hundreds of years to clear these mines.
One of the most notorious is the "butterfly" mine, which was used during the Soviet occupation, because it was wrapped in green plastic, many children mistook it for a toy and injured it, and it was so sensitive that it only took five kilograms to detonate it.
However, Lin Rui and others also have a way to deal with it, they have the latest special mine detection device, which is a new type of neutron mine detector developed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory of the US Department of Energy. These detectors are low-cost, fast and can easily detect mines with little or no metal content.
The new neutron detector looks similar to a metal detector and contains a pager-sized neutron source and a ground-sweeping mine detector. It uses the principles of physics to find signals that indicate the presence of mines. The detector is capable of detecting hydrogen present in the packaging and ** of plastic or metal mines, as well as the interaction of hydrogen with neutrons.
In other words, this kind of thing can be recognized as long as it has **. Moreover, the exploration area is ten square meters, and as long as there is any abnormality, it will be fed back to the tactical computer to form a timely impact, which is enough for the team to move quickly.
Lin Rui and Crazy Horse led the O2 team around the most likely defensive area of these militants and moved to the rear of their camp. Lin Rui suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture behind him, and the team members immediately stopped. Shogishi whispered, "What's going on?"
"Crazy Horse found the mines, and sure enough, they planted a lot of mines behind the camp. From now on, we have to tread carefully. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
Crazy Horse stared at the tactical slab fixed to his arm and whispered, "Two twelve-meter-wide mine belts. The arrangement is not very messy, it should be arranged by hand. This is good news, what I am most afraid of encountering is airdrop mines, and there is no pattern at all. Artificial minelaying also follows at least a rough range. Be careful, now you have to follow us completely. ”
"Damn, there's no vegetation here, it's all barren mountains, and we're completely exposed to the enemy. Snakeeye looked around and whispered, he took out the muffler and put it on his sniper rifle.
"Be quiet, we have to approach silently, like a cheetah in the middle of an African dead grass. Merge with the environment, approach slowly and gracefully, and then deliver the fatal blow in a blazing dash. That's the essence of a killer. Lin Rui said in a low voice. He's not saying it to his teammates, it's more like a psychological hint to himself.
After passing through the minefield, he slowly took off his night vision goggles, moved his neck, and waved his hand to the sausage, "Come over Sausage, can you get some kind of explosive device that can remotely cause the mine to detonate here?"
"It depends on what type of mine it is, but I think I can do it. Sausage nodded.
"Do it immediately, I'm going to detonate the minefield as soon as I rescue the hostages, so that the attention of the armed men will be focused on the rear of the camp. Lin Rui pointed in the direction and said, "You follow Crazy Horse, I'll give you ten minutes to get this job done, and the rest of the people will be on standby." ”
"The boss is so close that I can even see the lights there. Sergei whispered.
"Lights? I should have thought that there was no electricity on the mountain, so how could they use a large electronic jamming device. It turned out that they were using diesel generator sets. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"This old-fashioned generator set is not silent, so it is very noisy. The silencer can control the sound of the gunfire within an acceptable range, with a loud background of noise. I can get rid of most of the guards, if I can see them. Snakeeye whispered.
"There will be a chance, but you'd better not shoot lightly. The long-range shooting of you and Yelena the Viper is an auxiliary firepower to the overall operation of the squad, and should not be exposed too early. Look at my gestures later. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"Rest assured, I know how to do it. Snakeeye nodded.
Soon Sausage and Crazy Horse are back together. "Okay, Captain, this is the remote control, once I press it, I can guarantee that the nearby mines will be detonated, as for how much can be detonated, it's hard to say, but the movement is definitely not small. Sausage whispered.
"Yes, you follow us, Sergey, you come too, we may need your lockpicking skills. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "The rest of the people are behind, pay attention to the sides of the guard, they may have patrol officers." If you encounter it, try to solve it silently. "The world was pitch black, and mosquitoes were buzzing around them. I don't know how long it took, but first a breeze blew gently around them.
After a period of low lurking, they finally found a shack on the high hill in front of them, like a small village of the locals, along the way, they found a lot of these local homes, the houses were built very haphazardly, sometimes among the branches, sometimes on a high hill, a few stumps and adobe walls, a few straw curtains, and a few branches casually propped up, it was home.
The advent of the war shattered the peaceful life of the locals, and many people abandoned their homes and fled. Some never came back. Those few grass huts were lit up, undoubtedly a bright light in the dark, Lin Rui immediately made a gesture and lowered his body to touch the row of shacks.
Soon Sergei came lightly to the outskirts of a shack and was trying to lift the curtain with a gun. Lin Rui grabbed him, shook his hand at him, and pulled out the knife with his backhand. The black matt finish has no reflection at all, only a hint of silver at the edge of the blade.
Sergei understood what he meant, put away his gun, and also drew his knife. But when he lifted the curtain, a strange touch made his heart move slightly. He slowly lifted a corner and caught a glimpse of a thin thread that glowed bright white in the dim light of the room.
Sergei almost broke out in a cold sweat, this one by one. Hidden under the curtain, if someone else lifts the curtain and rushes in, it will immediately pull the tripwire and detonate the grenade hanging behind the curtain. Sergei immediately put down the dagger and made a stop gesture to Lin Rui. Ran slowly lowered the straw curtain.
