Chapter 310: Night Raid
Yu Na's production date was near Zuo, and Yue Hao arranged for Ning Changqing to take his place, responsible for directing various tasks in the Middle East.
Ever since he got that the base would usher in equipment such as armed helicopters and infantry fighting vehicles, Ning Changqing was looking forward to it, and there was no armed man who didn't like to have powerful equipment.
Fortunately, at the beginning of January, Ning Changqing ushered in the first batch of weapons and equipment, ten Z-9s, ten Z-8s, plus twenty infantry fighting vehicles, accompanied by newly recruited retired personnel of the Huaxia Army. This group of personnel is responsible for driving these equipment in the army, and they can participate in the mission without additional training, of course, this group of people came to Iraq, a war-torn place, secretly, and of course, this is indispensable to greet the military region, which can be regarded as turning a blind eye to let this group of people go abroad.
People are well arranged, equipment is not lucky, especially weapons and equipment, and they can't brazenly go ashore in the Iraqi port of Basra. Fortunately, Yue Hao had already taken this into account, made some modifications on the transport cargo ship, and then seconded 60 heavy trucks to the "Dongfeng Express", which included maintenance accessories for weapons and combat equipment in addition to weapons and equipment.
The Haona Trading Company, a subsidiary of the intelligence department, had already opened up the management of the Basra terminal and the Iraqi customs department, and the berths had already been prepared, and Ning Changqing and Zhuang Kongwei were waiting at the berths early, and they wanted to move the equipment to a safe place as soon as possible to avoid the inspection of the US military stationed in Iraq.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the cargo ship smoothly leaned against the steel breakway, and Dongfeng heavy trucks loaded with weapons and equipment slowly sailed onto the embankment.
Ning Changqing glanced at Zhuang Kongwei, greeted the customs officer, and said, "Oh, Mr. Said, you see that these trucks are not very convenient for inspection, you better go to the ship to inspect other goods." He slipped a $10,000 envelope into the pocket of Said, the customs officer.
Said reached into his pocket with a smile on his face, pinched the thickness of the envelope, and then tacitly smiled at each other, waved his big hand and let go of the heavy truck that drove out and took several of his customs officers to board the freighter, and when he went to the deck, he pretended not to know, and asked, "Mr. Ning, I don't know what you brought this time?"
"It's about the same as the previous rounds, some medical supplies and daily necessities, as well as a lot of food, after the unloading is completed, I will fill some for Mr. Said, I really don't want you to come for a check-up at night. ”
"Haona Trading Company has sent so many necessary supplies to our Iraqi people, and it is my duty to go through the motions. Said pretended to walk around, flipped through it, and put a checkmark on the register of items as he looked.
On the wharf outside the freighter, Zhuang Kongwei had already directed 60 heavy trucks to a parking lot on the outskirts of Basra, where the intelligence team had cleared out for equipment.
This batch of equipment will be mothballed after arriving at the parking lot, until all the weapons and equipment are ready to go on the road, which has been planned for a long time, after all, this place is 800 kilometers away from the base set up by the intelligence team, and it is too easy for the US military to find out about 15 military checkpoints during the journey.
By the time several batches of equipment arrived at the parking lot, the time had passed
After 3 months, all the heavy trucks loaded with 150 pieces of equipment finally arrived safely in Iraq, Ning Changqing and Li Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief, of course, these batches of equipment did not include MBT-2000 main battle tanks, and then the plan to transport equipment to the base was launched.
There are 150,000 U.S. soldiers stationed on Iraqi soil, and in addition to the 15 permanent military checkpoints, they often roam the main transportation routes and check the passing vehicles, so it is not easy for the 150 heavy trucks plus the 50 ZBD-04 infantry fighting vehicles carried by heavy trucks to avoid their inspection.
Of course, the practice of the U.S. military inspection team is often attacked in Iraq, and roadside bombs are the most common way, which provides an opportunity for Ning Changqing and them.
After the heavy truck and ZBD-04 infantry fighting vehicle hit the road, Li Yunfei, the head of the Middle East Intelligence Group, began to play the villain according to the plan. In order to prevent heavy trucks from being interrogated, Li Yunfei mobilized personnel from the first and second intelligence groups and divided them into 15 squads of 20 people each, of which 13 squads attacked 13 US military bases to create chaos, and the remaining two squads went to the military checkpoints on the road to pick up and remove heavy trucks.
It's night
According to the established plan, the 13 squads launched an attack at the same time, and the members of the squad who had already figured out the layout of the US military base took advantage of the darkness to enter the US military base, first occupying the arsenal in the base, and then spreading and attacking the surrounding US troops with the arsenal as the center.
The sound of explosions in Baghdad resounded in the sky for a long time, and the US military encountered the largest attack since the occupation of Iraq.
General Casey, the Supreme Commander of the U.S. Forces in Iraq, was fortunate that he went to a banquet in the center of Baghdad that night, at which he received a report from his assistant, but this report was meaningless, and he had seen a fire rising in the window of the banquet hall without informing him.
"Have all the bases been attacked, and what's the current state of the war?" asked George Casey, standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, without looking back.
"General, not only the base has been attacked, but the checkpoints from Basra to Baghdad have also been attacked, and these checkpoints have lost contact. In addition, the arsenal of our base has been occupied by the attackers, and the situation is not good. George Casey's assistant Albert replied.
George Casey gritted his teeth, this was a well-prepared attack, although he still didn't know what the purpose of the attack was, but if Iraq's 150,000 U.S. troops could not solve the crisis cleanly, he would be the supreme commander.
"Tell me to keep all the attackers, no matter what the cost. ”
Albert turned back after only ten minutes of leaving, and said with a bad look: "General, all the base headquarters have lost contact, and our reconnaissance satellites are completely unusable, and even the satellite phones have lost their signals. ”
George Casey smashed the teacup in his hand and said with a pale face: "How is this possible, the terrorists of the 'al-Qaeda' organization are not at all."
If you don't have the ability, send someone out to contact me immediately, I want to know who did the good thing!"
Before dawn, the attackers had all retreated, George Casey, who had not slept all night, came to a nearby military base, the appearance of the ruins in the base made him feel distressed, fragments of weapons and equipment were scattered all over the ground, the wounded were everywhere, the military doctor was busy, dozens of infantry fighting vehicles and tanks were still burning, no one paid attention to it at this time, the corpses of soldiers covered with white cloth in the base square were neatly arranged, and the number of casualties made him frightened.
The commander of the base, Colonel Connor, came to him with a face full of ashes, saluted a military salute, and said in a hoarse voice: "General, our base has suffered heavy losses, and there are a large number of wounded who need to be treated, please mobilize medical personnel from other bases to support us." ”
"There are no more paramedics, and other bases have also been attacked, and their losses will not be less than yours. All you have to do now is organize the men to take the wounded to the local hospital in Baghdad. George Casey put his arm around his shoulder and walked over to the fallen soldier.
Facing the back of George Casey walking towards the square, Connor breathed a sigh of relief at this time, the law is not responsible, and if the other bases also suffered heavy losses, then the loss of the base is not due to his incompetence.
George Casey asked around the base with an iron face, but did not get much useful information, the only thing that was certain was that the attacker was not afraid of ordinary guns at all, even grenades and rockets did not work, and the attacker moved extremely fast, and his marksmanship was extremely accurate, and he would be shot as long as someone came forward. But instead of focusing on killing, they focused on destroying military equipment, and most of the equipment in the base was destroyed.
……
More than 200 vehicles traveled all the way to the Hadisha Dam Lake base, which is located about 250 kilometers northwest of Baghdad and only 8 kilometers from Highway 19 on the east side of the Hadisha Dam Lake.
The weapons and equipment entered the base smoothly, which put Ning Changqing's heart back in his stomach, but he also understood that this attack was a bit big, and the US military would not let go of any clues, and then it must be low-key and low-key, lest the US military come to the door.
"Yunfei, you send a message to the boss, just say that the equipment has arrived at the base smoothly, and by the way, ask about our next mission. ”
"The equipment has arrived, and the report is good, but what I'm worried about now is what to do with these 150 heavy trucks. ”
Looking at the trucks occupying the base, Ning Changqing frowned and said, "Otherwise, let's buy some local specialties, go to Syria outside Highway 100 along Highway 12, and let the cargo ship go to the Syrian port city of Latakia to pull the truck back home." ”
"More than 100 trucks, coming to drive a long queue is at least three or four kilometers long, the target is too big, and the border between Syria and Iran is guarded by US troops, unless we attack them again, otherwise we will definitely not be able to pass, and even if we pass, it will attract the attention of the US military. In my opinion, we might as well destroy these trucks on the spot, which would be even more unaware. Li Yunfei suggested.
Li Yunfei's proposal Ning Changqing was very moved, compared to billions of weapons and equipment, tens of millions of trucks are really not worth mentioning.
"This is the asset of the express company, worth tens of millions, let's ask the boss for his opinion. ”
