Chapter 1986: The Best Habits
In the midst of the underground fortifications, the atmosphere was still tense. The U.S. lieutenant is having his men repair the motor and try to restore communications. "How's it going?" said the lieutenant, a little anxiously.
"Sir, the motor was blown up. The other party was very disengaged, picked a few places that were most easily damaged, and used the smallest explosion to lead to the most serious consequences. With our current spare parts, it's almost impossible to fix. One of the non-commissioned officers in charge of maintenance sighed, put down the wrench, and spread out his oil-stained hands.
"Then let someone send the accessories, we have too many devices that need to be powered. The lieutenant whispered.
"The bad news is that our communications equipment has also been destroyed, and we can't get in touch with the squadron sending supplies in time. And as is customary, the next supply should arrive in a week. That is, it will be a week before the helicopter arrives. The non-commissioned officer shook his head.
"Aren't there two more helicopters in the base?" said the lieutenant with a frown, "can't you use the helicopter to get the accessories?"
"But the CIA bureaucrats don't necessarily agree, for them it's U.S. government property, not our military. The non-commissioned officer complained, "Actually, everyone knows that those two helicopters are used by them for emergency evacuation." They won't take care of us. ”
"Alright, stop complaining. I'm going to talk to them, maybe they'll let us use the helicopter. The lieutenant turned around and pressed the communicator on his body, "I'm Junglecat Six, call Red Ball." Please answer if you hear it. ”
Mr. K's communicator on his chest vibrated for a while, and he frowned slightly and pressed the communication switch. The lieutenant's voice came from inside the communicator, "Jungle Cat Six, call Zero." Please answer ...... when you hear it."
"I'm Zero, what's the matter with you, Lieutenant?" Mr. K frowned.
"Due to the lack of spare parts, our power cannot be restored, and the external communication equipment has also been damaged, so I want to use your helicopter to deliver a few spare parts. The lieutenant whispered. "But this requires your permission. ”
"Sorry Lieutenant, we can't deliver the helicopter to you. I hope you understand that this is to ensure that in the event of a crisis situation, it is used to evacuate important people. So I can't agree to deliver the helicopter to you. Moreover, helicopters will not be able to take you to the Kota Kinabalu Port military base in Malaysia. Mr. K said calmly.
"Okay, I understand, but I have to say, the emergency power won't be available for long. Once the battery runs out, we're in the dark. Without an exhaust fan, the air in the pit will also become dirty.
At least you can give us the radio on the helicopter, and the on-board radio can help us get to the base and have them send some spare parts and supplies. The lieutenant explained, "It's only a few minutes." ”
"No, Lieutenant. The helicopter's onboard radio signal cannot be exposed, as the operation is highly classified and there is no right of knowledge on the part of the base. The helicopter's radios are encrypted and you won't be able to use them properly. Mr. K was silent for a moment, and said resolutely.
"So, can you let your people do it? You can also contact your people instead of the base and ask them to try to send a few accessories. We'll make a list of the parts needed for the repair and let them try to send them all. The lieutenant whispered, "Our men are still out on pursuit, and we need to know what they're doing." Without long-range communication equipment, we don't know anything about the situation on the battlefield. ”
Mr. K was silent for a moment, "Okay, I'll ask my people to send you a message out." But the lieutenant, the exception, only once. ”
"I understand, sir. "The lieutenant cut off communications.
Mr. K turned to one of his agents and whispered, "You go out and use the radio on the helicopter to deliver a message to those American GIs." Remember, don't reveal our location. Send a message as a jungle cat troop, understand?"
"Understood. The agent turned and walked away.
In the dark passage, Lin Rui crouched in a corner and waited quietly. He knew that the CIA agents wouldn't be motionless no matter what, and that he would only have to keep an eye on one of them to reveal the two Russian agents' captivity.
In order to save electricity, he has turned off his night vision devices. Relying on his eyes, which are gradually beginning to adapt to the darkness, and his keen sense of hearing, he captures the movements of the neighborhood. It's like a mole curled up in the shadows. His wait was not in vain, and soon he heard several footsteps, the sound of the Jungle Cat's American military boots walking in the basement passage was obvious, while the footsteps of another person were not military boots, but more like leather shoes.
Lin Rui moved slightly in the darkness and put down the night vision device on his head. The emergency lights in this corridor have been extinguished due to the lack of power. So he can easily hide in a corner without being seen. The weapons in the hands of the U.S. military are equipped with illuminators, but this lighting has a clear effect of concentrating, and the illuminated places are obvious, while the places that are not illuminated are pitch black.
It was two American troops, both of whom were cautiously advancing with their weapons. The Tactical Flashlight was attached to the Picatinny rails of the weapons, allowing them to carry their guns as they advanced. "Safe. "A U.S. soldier gestured behind him. Behind him was a man in a suit wearing a bulletproof vest.
CIA agent? Sure enough, Lao Tzu waited for him. Lin Rui thought silently, but leaned his body back a little more to ensure that he was completely in the dark.
"Here's the list, you can ask them to send it over, plus two more repair technicians if possible. The U.S. non-commissioned officer handed a slip to the CIA agent.
The agent nodded, "I can guarantee that things will be delivered, but I'm afraid the personnel can't." Everything that happens here must be kept in absolute secrecy. Not to mention the maintenance personnel on this mission, even if it is a senior military official of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, few people know about it. ”
"Whatever, but it's better to tell them to get the repair parts as fast as possible, or we'll be living underground in the dark for at least a few weeks. The U.S. non-commissioned officer said helplessly, "Go this way, I'll send you up." ”
The men walked through the passage, and no one noticed a person lying on his stomach on the pipe above the corner of the passage. Lin Rui watched them leave quietly, he was not in a hurry to act.
He had just heard their conversation. So he concluded that this CIA agent was only leaving temporarily, and soon he would be back. And at that time, Lin Rui will follow him. Until he took Lin Rui to the place where the Russian agents were being held. Calm and patience are the best habits of a warrior.
