"It's the right thing to do about it, it's okay, but before we can do it, we'll have to cross the Kalida. There is no cover in this area, and it is easy for the other side to see it. And we all know that the most troublesome thing about these militants is that they do not have any distinguishing features. They may be an old man driving a donkey on the side of the road, or an old woman, or even a child playing by the river. Anyone can report our whereabouts to the extremists. Crazy Horse shook his head.

"What do you think?" Lin Rui turned to Crazy Horse.

"I think we should operate more covertly, and if those Iraqi security forces have helicopters, it's better to have them use helicopters to drop us directly into the mountains. Crazy Horse pointed to the map, "This will greatly reduce the risk of us being revealed." ”

"Good idea. However, those Iraqi security forces are not monolithic, and they also have information security problems. Otherwise, it's hard to explain how many raids they made there to no avail. Shogishi shook his head and said, "I'm not saying that there are absolutely ghosts among them, but from the current point of view, it may be difficult for them to keep it secret." If we go through them, we think that no one is present, and maybe those extremists have already set a trap for us. ”

"I agree with the actuary that we cannot put our hopes in others. Even if there is a risk, I want it to be in our own hands. Besides, the Iraqi security forces themselves are complex, and there are all of them, and if the information leaks out, we will find ourselves in an even greater predicament. Iraqi security forces could be used, but they were not sufficient. We can use them to arrange evacuation and pick-up operations, but we must not involve them in such a thing as an infiltration raid. Lin Rui nodded.

"Well, then we'll do what the actuary did. Crazy Horse nodded in agreement, "I've been in Iraq for a few years with Snakeeye, so we're pretty familiar with the mountains in this area. Although there are risks, nothing can be foolproof, so try it. We need inflatable assault boats, as well as equipment to enter the mountains. ”

"These we can get the Yankees to prepare, they should have these things. Lin Rui nodded. "Wait until dawn to see what news they can bring, and then we'll decide what to do. In any case, we are running out of time. ”

The next day, Lin Rui and others got the news from the U.S. military team through the Kurds. A team of people came out cautiously, they prepared carefully, and under the leadership of Lin Rui, they touched the nearby road. This asphalt road is no more than three or four meters wide, and it should not have been a short time to build. The fighting of recent years has made it almost impossible for the Iraqi side to maintain such roads. The road is in bad condition and has cracked in some places. The mountain becomes a downward slope here, forming a gentle valley about 100 meters wide with another small hill to the east, and the road is built in the middle of the valley floor, and the roadside is overgrown with weeds and scattered with rocks rolling down the hillside.

The terrain of the valley is not dangerous, but the condition of the road can be controlled by placing a few sentries on high ground. However, the militants did not do this, because most of them were militiamen, and there were few grassroots commanders who knew how to fight, and secondly, they probably thought that no one would dare to come here.

Snake Eyes was dressed in a gilly suit, as if wrapped in a camouflage net, hiding in the bushes under the roadbed, looking at the two wings of the hills. Crazy Horse and Sergei, who were in charge of monitoring the situation on both sides of the road, raised their hands to signal that everything was normal. He had just emerged from the bushes, carried his gun, and bent down against the roadbed and ran into the valley. The mountain blocked the direct sunlight, and the snake eye took a few steps to hide behind a half-man-high rock on the side of the road, and looked up in the direction of the hillside.

There is little vegetation on the hillside, and there are several abandoned and dilapidated houses halfway up the mountainside, and the stones of the ruins cover half of the hillside. The road is close to the hillside and close to the road, so it was bombed during the Iraq war and has long been abandoned. On the other side of the hill is the river.

Lin Rui observed the situation on both wings and pointed to the high place of the snake eye who was watching from afar. Snake Eye comprehended, and immediately understood what Lin Rui wanted to do, he and Yelena ran into the valley and climbed the hill under the cover of alternately, and then hid at the commanding heights and guarded with guns. Yelena hid in the half-man-tall grass on the other side, forming a crossfire with the snake's eye on the opposite hillside, monitoring the road below. "Everything is working fine, confirmed safe. We converge on the other side. Snake Eyes' voice came from inside the headphones.

The others sped into the valley in two trucks with camouflage nets, and then circled to the other side of the hill. Sandro squeaked on the brakes and stopped the car. The heavily armed crew flew down from both sides of the cab, one behind the other, with their guns aimed at the sides of the road, waiting for Sergei and Crazy Horse to come down from the hillside.

"What's the situation?" Lin Rui said in a low voice as he looked at the crazy horse running down the hillside.

"It's normal, we don't have anybody. Crazy Horse whispered. "Luckily for us, it's Friday, and at one o'clock in the afternoon they should be gathering to pray, and there should be no one at this time. We can cross the river at this time, but it is necessary to be careful. ”

"Understood, take down the equipment and supplies from the car. Then find a hidden place and drive the car down the river, I don't want these two broken cars to be discovered by these extremists and we will fail to infiltrate. Lin Rui turned his head and beckoned, "Everyone take action, we don't have much time." ”

Sergei was the first to arrive, while Snakeeye and Yelena were the last to arrive. By the time they arrived, the rest of the team had already disposed of the two pickup trucks and had assembled the inflatable assault boats. Their assault boat can be inflated quickly, and with a small motor, it can have a good degree. However, Lin Rui and others did not use this gasoline motor due to covert considerations, but used a quieter manual paddling method.

"Alright, everyone is here, and we are ready to cross the river at once, we should have nearly half an hour. Lin Rui said in a low voice. "We had to walk along the river for a while to avoid villages where there might be militants, and then immediately after crossing the river, we turned to the mountainous terrain to the north. ”

The team members all got on the boat, three small assault boats, carrying them to row quickly on the river. The team members at the bow and on both sides of the ship closely monitored both sides and ahead. This section of the waterway is the most exposed area for them, and once exposed, the people on the boat will be completely passively beaten.
