Chapter 2107: The Old Pit

"yes, how they got the guns. Crazy Horse frowned.

"I see. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Do you remember the information provided by the U.S. military at the beginning? They said that these chemical weapons were hidden in a silver mine. You think about the mines, what do the old mines rely on for transportation?"

"Rails!" Crazy Horse suddenly came to his senses, "There are also many old mining towns in the United States, and many mines still retain the old rails that were originally used after they are abandoned. If they were using broad gauge, they could lay railroad tracks for flatbed trains with a little modification. This silver mine is connected to the town through the nearby mountains.

So as long as they have a locomotive, they can transport these guns to the town and outside the town at will, and they can also hide these guns in the belly of the mountain to avoid air raids. It is no wonder that repeated air strikes by Iraqi government forces have been fruitless. And the intelligence of the US military is that these artillery pieces are hidden in the village. ”

"That's right. So they can transport these guns even if they don't have roads. Even when necessary, these rockets can be fired on the spot, and when they are finished, they are pulled by a flatbed truck and leave. This tactic was not clever, and this type of rail artillery mounted on train tracks was used in World War I and World War II to solve the problem of transporting and maneuvering heavy artillery. There is a century of difference between these extremists and the military thinking of the US military. So the Americans did not expect that in the era of digital warfare, there would be people who would use this set. Shogishi shook his head.

But that's what makes them so successful. Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"Now that we've found out, there's a way to do it. "We can sneak in and not enter the village of Aita, just find their transport rails and follow the tracks into that abandoned mine." Find the investigation and forensics teams that are being held in the pits. The distance between this pit should not be very large, it is equivalent to a tunnel hidden in the mountain. As long as we go in, we will find it. ”

"I think this method works!" Lin Rui nodded, "Crazy Horse and the chief will open the way, find the hidden railroad track, and then we will follow into the pit." But we have to be more careful, because if nothing else, the headquarters of the militants should be inside. ”

"Their headquarters is also set up in the pit?" Sergey frowned.

"That's for sure, and they took advantage of that to avoid an air strike by the Iraqi government forces. Otherwise, a single air strike could paralyze their command center. Let these artillery pieces lose their unified command. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "The Iraqi government forces have carried out many air strikes on the town of Aita, but the rocket artillery of these militants is still active, which is the best proof of this." ”

"But they are in the pit, how can they command the artillery outside?" Sergei said with some puzzlement.

"As long as wired communications are used, and a reliable artillery reconnaissance detachment. The target can be determined, the shooting parameters will be reported to the command, and the command will give the attack order. Shogishi shook his head and said, "None of this is a problem. ”

"Anyway, we caught them this time. Thanks to Crazy Horse and the Chief, we would have foolishly slipped into the village of Aita and thrown ourselves into the net. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Crazy Horse, you and the chief continue to lead the way, and we will act immediately." ”

Crazy Horse nodded, and the two of them continued to touch forward. This time they had a clear goal, and without alerting other militants, they found a section of railroad tracks hidden near the woods. And it looks like the track is freshly laid. If I'm not mistaken, it should be connected to the railroad tracks in the silver mines. After all, the original pit rails would not have been connected to the outside so far. It seems that this extremist really took a lot of effort.

The team silently glided along the tracks, avoiding two fixed sentry posts and a patrol along the way. The entrance to the pit was finally found on the southwest side. At the entrance is a cave, apparently recently re-reinforced with reinforced concrete. And there was at least a contingent of thirty or forty men stationed at the entrance.

"In the direction of eleven o'clock, machine gun fire. At two o'clock, there are sentinels. Snakeeye whispered. "We may not be able to dodge this time, but if we really do it, how about the boss?"

"You can do it, but try to solve it as silently as possible! You and Yelena are in charge of the fire points and sentinels at the heights. Leave it to us below, act!" Lin Rui said in a low voice.

Crazy Horse went up to a rudimentary shipping shelf at the mouth of the pit, very close to the gate, followed by the chieftain, then Sausage, and Scarface. Crazy Horse made a gesture and stood on the side of the iron door. He handed the blackened dagger to his left hand, and with his right hand quickly grabbed the neck of one of the guards, dragging him aside to deal with it.

The chief gripped the doorknob and was about to open it when a soft tap was heard inside the headset.

He immediately dodged and hid, tilted his head up, and Lin Rui gave him a gesture to just open the door. The chief nodded, pulled the door open slightly, turned and leaped to the side. Lin Rui was beside him, jumped up silently, grabbed the beam with both hands, and climbed the other pole with two legs, so that his whole person was hiding on the beam above the entrance of the mine.

There was a creaking sound from the door, and there was a militant inside the door who noticed the movement, and this person squeezed out of the crack in the door, at first only a gun muzzle squeezed in, and soon the crack in the door was squeezed wide, and the whole head of the militant poked out, and he looked left and right with some confusion, as if he could not understand why the door suddenly opened. The entrance to this pit is large, so the heavy doors are opened from both sides, and it is difficult to be blown open by the wind.

The militant opened a crack in the door, Lin Rui was above, and immediately kicked on the door, and the militant who poked his head out to look was immediately caught by the door.

When he became alert. Lin Rui's legs had already been sent off the beam, and the whole person fell, and his arms clamped the head of the militant with force, so that the impact of the whole body falling completely fell on the militant's cervical vertebrae.

The militant barely had time to snort before his whole body went limp. The human cervical spine is one of the most vulnerable parts, where it can withstand the weight impact of an adult in free fall. Almost broke off on the spot, Lin Rui took advantage of this momentum, and a carp stood up. Before his feet hit the ground, the black dagger was already shining in his hand, and he listened to the door for any other movements.

Immediately after that, several militant sentinels in the distance also fell to death one by one under the precise sniping of Snake Eyes and Yelena. After the gunfire passed through the muffler, it was not loud, as if someone had slapped a mosquito in the dark, and then there was no sound again.
