The woman in the black robe immediately took action, picked up her gun and aimed it at the right side of the road. Seeing that Hou Rui, who was sitting on the side, www.biquge.info didn't react, the guy sitting on the other side of the black-robed woman immediately took action, and he quickly raised the telescope and acted as an observer.

"The front is easterly, the distance is 630 meters, the north wind is level 3......" A series of sniper ranging was reported, and then the black-robed woman decisively fired a shot.

The distance was a little far, and Hou Rui only saw a flock of sheep and two faint figures on the side, but after the woman's two shots, only the stupid sheep were left in the same place.

"The target is down, stay alert. The observer lowered his binoculars and tore off his face to reveal a Latino face. This guy stared at Hou Rui with an unkind face, and said unceremoniously: "Your reaction is too slow, the next time someone conducts a long-range sniper, you have to act as an observer as soon as possible if possible." ”

"......" Hou Rui first didn't think of this, and the second really won't, although Hou Rui learned the relevant sniper courses on the zero island, but acting as an observer requires a lot of actual combat experience, and closely cooperate with snipers, just with Hou Rui's current level, it is estimated that if he really wants to take the position of an observer, he can only pull the woman in the black robe back.

The two cars continued to drive, and along the way, whether it was a shepherd, a playing child, or a woman carrying sundries, the bearded man was all ordered to be shot, which made Hou Rui very disgusted in his heart.

After more than 3 hours of driving, Hou Rui and his group gradually approached the town, at this time there were so many pedestrians and vehicles on the highway that they could not be eliminated, so the bearded man ordered all the people to disguise, and Hou Rui and they directly hid their weapons and equipment under the robes.

"Checkpoints, alert. The walkie-talkie around Hou Rui's neck suddenly sounded a bearded warning, and then Hou Rui saw that about a kilometer ahead, several broken cars and a railing formed an improvised barricade, and several soldiers in standard military uniforms were checking passing vehicles and pedestrians.

"It's a checkpoint for government forces, so don't be too nervous. The Latin American buddies quietly glanced at it with a binocular, quickly hid it again, and then passed on a message to a few people around him.

"Don't be careless, people are dying every minute here. A large man sitting across from him pulled the face towel off his face again.

Driving to the checkpoint, Hou Rui and his two cars stopped and began to queue up for inspection. At this moment, a convoy of six Humvees suddenly drove from the direction of the city, and the convoy equipped with heavy machine guns did not stop for inspection, but passed through the checkpoint unimpeded, passing by Hou Rui and others.

"Ahem, cough, cough, ......" The high-speed Hummer convoy kicked up a large cloud of dust, so that people couldn't open their eyes, and the big man sitting opposite Hou Rui was choked and coughed, and Hou Rui didn't think much about it when he saw this, and directly handed over the kettle on his body.

The big man first looked at the kettle handed over, then turned to look at Hou Rui, and finally reached out to take it, drank a few big sips, and when he returned the kettle to Hou Rui, he suddenly said, "Just started the mission?"

"Yes. ”

"Remember, all of us are companions and competitors in the mission, and don't just show favor to strangers, it will be counterproductive. ”

"OK," Hou Rui agreed, and began to slowly think about the meaning of the big guy's words.

"Such good equipment is either the advisory force of the US military or the private security company of the contractor. "The other guy sitting in the truck seemed to be talking to himself.

"Shut up and be quiet. "Bang...... Squeak ...... Bump ......" the bearded man was shouting in the channel, and suddenly there was a loud bang in the distance, and a huge orange-yellow fireball rose from the ground, directly enveloping the Hummer convoy not far away, followed by a series of brakes and crashing sounds.

The checkpoint, which had just been very orderly, was in chaos in an instant, and the crowd that had entered the city was scattered and fled, and some fertilized horses and camels were even more frightened and jumped, and many of them fled into the distance with their masters. While Hou Rui's group was on guard, some local civilians began to pull out AK rifles from debris and vehicles, and continued to attack the burning Humvee convoy.

Hou Rui grabbed the binoculars of his Latin buddies and began to observe the situation of the Hummer convoy not far away......

The lead car of the Humvee convoy had been torn to pieces by the explosion, leaving only the skeleton burning violently. The Humvee, which was in second place, was also blown away by the blast, and its body was badly deformed, looking like an oversized can that had been smashed flat, twisting and falling to the side. As for the third, fourth, and fifth Humvees, they collided violently, and some even threw the machine gunners who grabbed the tower position on the roof of the car into the air.

Now only the Humvee at the back of the position is considered unharmed, Hou Rui saw in the telescope that 3-4 armed men ran out of the Humvee, and they rescued their comrades who had crashed in front of them, and at the same time used the Humvee as a cover to resist the attacks of militants emerging from all directions.

"Idiot rookie!" the Latin American buddies scolded angrily, snatched the telescope from Hou Rui's hand, and hid it under the robe again.

Without waiting for Rui's reaction, the government soldiers supporting from the front checkpoint had already driven past Hou Rui's truck, and these soldiers used the M2 heavy machine guns on the vehicles to cover the fire while rushing, knocking the militants who were still facing away from them to the ground.

At the back of the team, more than ten meters away from Hou Rui, a wooden rickshaw had been covered with a worn carpet, but when the checkpoint soldier's car approached, the carpet was suddenly lifted, and two boys, who looked like they were no more than 16 years old, carried RPGs and launched them almost against the front of the car.

The car of the soldier at the "boom" checkpoint was hit, and the car body first jumped violently in violation of the law of gravity, and then slid forward with a hula flame and by inertia, but the soldiers on the car had already turned into charcoal, and even the M2 heavy machine gun flew into the air in a whirlwind, and finally fell to the ground 5-6 meters away.

"Whoosh...... "Another air-shot RPG flew into the distance almost against Hou Rui's truck, and finally blew itself up. Scared everyone in the car in a cold sweat.

"Driving, accelerating, bypassing checkpoints, we went into town from somewhere else. The beard finally couldn't hold back, and with his command, the two cars sped up sharply, rushed off the highway and circled around the checkpoint, and began to approach the city in the distance from a dirt road.

As if it was a trivial episode, after Hou Rui and his team entered the city of Azabad, in this humble city full of loess buildings, whether it was pedestrians or soldiers with weapons, everyone turned a deaf ear to the fierce gunfire at the checkpoint not far away, and it took about 20 minutes for Hou Rui to see a helicopter heading in the direction of the exchange of fire, and half an hour later, two trucks full of government soldiers went to reinforce the troops.

Although he was a little curious about the outcome of the fierce battle at the checkpoint, Hou Rui still had to focus on the task at hand.

After entering Azabad, the bearded man ordered the car to stop on a dilapidated street, and when Rui and the group got out of the car, the two locals immediately drove away the truck and jeep, while Hou Rui and the others got into a row of two-story loess buildings on the side of the road.

After quickly climbing up to the second floor and briefly inspecting the simple five-room building, the bearded man let everyone sit down and rest.

Hou Rui sat on a low bench in the corner facing the door, and his ears heard the noise of the neighbor's husband and wife next door, the sound of the strings of the Luo Baba instrument and the old man's cappella singing and the occasional gunshots exploding, and occasionally the sound of the helicopter propeller circling overhead, in short, the whole environment was indescribably strange and absurd.

"Now for the mission briefing. The bearded man assigned a sentry, and he himself stood at the window and looked at it carefully before sitting down on the carpet.

"The goal of this mission is two transport vehicles belonging to the US military, which mainly contain a batch of artworks that originally belonged to the National Museum of Afghanistan, and what we have to do is to intercept them and send them to the designated place after hand. The tablet in the bearded man's hand showed one picture after another.

"What is the specific time for action?"

"Around July 13th. ”

"What about the Guardian Force?"

"There are two squads of the US army, one platoon of the government army, and it is estimated that there will be armored vehicles in the escort convoy. ”

"Where is the extraction point set?"

"100 kilometers south of Azabad, evacuated by air. ”

……

After listening to the bearded briefing, Hou Rui's gang didn't say much; 12 people had to deal with 20 US troops, more than 30 government soldiers, and infantry against armored vehicles, and this was really not a small task! Optimistically, even if these garrisons were solved, they still had to transport the intercepted things to the evacuation point and cover them until they were transported away, and this was really an impossible task!

"Can I apply for air support during the operation?" asked one guy after a half-silence.

"The interception site is too close to the Bagram airbase of the US military, where the F-16 is deployed, the organization will not take risks. ”

"So, is there any additional personnel to assist?"

The bearded man glanced at his watch, still shaking his head: "A total of 14 people participated in this operation, and the remaining two people have not appeared yet, and the organization must have activated their biochip." Hou Rui and the others, who were sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, were even more silent now.

Seeing that no one asked questions, the bearded man walked to the door: "There are still two days before the operation, everyone is waiting here, I will find an intermediary to coordinate to see if I can use the power of the local tribal elders, if it is successful, we don't have to worry about manpower." With that, the bearded man led the other fellow out of the house.

After a while, the bearded two men came out onto the street and began to walk slowly along the side of the street stalls, their robes allowing them to fully blend in with the local crowd on the street.
