Chapter 0287: Fierce Battle in the Col
The sun sank into the western sky, and there was still a bright red in the sky. In the distance, the Himalayas rise majestically, and the snow and ice covering the peaks can be faintly seen. It is a spectacular picture, solemn and sacred.
Three Ford Raptors pulled out of Peshawar and headed for the Afghan border.
As night fell, the convoy arrived at the border checkpoint. Two Pakistani fighters motioned for the vehicle to pull over for inspection, and Tang Yuyan handed over a document through the window. After reading the document, the two Pakistani fighters immediately raised the railing and let them go. As the three Ford Raptors drove forward, all the Pakistani fighters waved to the vehicles.
This situation made Xia Lei feel that even if there was a box nuclear bomb in the car, they would not care. The name Pakistan Railway is not called for nothing, only Chinese who have traveled to Pakistan can experience this feeling.
Share, who entered the border with Afghanistan, spoke out: "Why is it that only Pakistan has set up border checkpoints, but Afghanistan does not?"
Tang Yuyan said: "Who will be responsible for the operation of the border checkpoints? Is the Santa Ita armed group still a government army that is overwhelmed? Except for some important economic corridors, the Afghan government army will not take care of it." The path we chose was remote, of no value to either the Santa Ita armed group or the government forces, and if it weren't for our luck, we wouldn't have met them. ”
"It's better to be careful. Xia Lei said that he remembered his father, Xia Changhe's warning.
The convoy drove forward for more than ten kilometers, and a dilapidated pickup truck appeared on the side of the road between the cols, with no license plates, and the vehicle logo was missing, so it was impossible to tell what brand of vehicle it was.
Standing next to the front of the pickup truck was a middle-aged man with a turban, whom Xia Lei recognized at a glance as Karam, the guide of the Peshawar intelligence station.
The three Ford Raptors stopped on the side of the road one after another, and Tang Yuyan got out of the car to talk to Kalam for a few words, and then returned to the car. Kalam led the way in his pickup truck, followed by three Ford Raptors and continued deeper into the mountains.
Afghanistan is known as a country of mountains, and the most common thing here is the mountains, the yellow and bare mountains, one by one, one by one, filling the field of vision. It is a land abandoned by the gods, and the people who live in it are suffering from war.
"How long will it take us to get to the tribe you're talking about?" said Charleigh broke the silence in the car. He found that as soon as he entered Afghanistan, Tang Yuyan seemed a little nervous and didn't like to talk anymore.
Tang Yuyan said: "If there is no trouble on the road, we will probably approach our destination by this time tomorrow." You don't have to be nervous, the route is safe. ”
Xia Lei smiled, "I'm not nervous, I see you're a little nervous, that's why I'm talking to you." ”
Tang Yuyan shook Xia Lei's eyes, "Am I nervous? Why don't I feel it? Don't be kidding, I'm not nervous at all." ”
Xia Lei smiled, he found that Tang Yuyan was actually a woman who loved face.
But at this moment, a ray of fire suddenly flew from the hillside on the left. In the night sky, this line of fire is very obvious. Xia Lei and Tang Yuyan's eyes moved almost at the same time. Before Xia Lei could react, Tang Yuyan shouted, "Rockets! dodge!"
Tang Yuyan's experience is indeed much stronger than Xia Lei's.
However, her warning was not as fast as the rocket, and as soon as her words fell, the rocket hit the pickup truck driven by Kalam at the front. With a loud bang, the pickup truck, which weighed two tons, was lifted into the sky, and smashed into the vehicle in which Tang Yuyan and Xia Lei were riding, with flames and smoke.
Tang Yuyan slammed the steering wheel to avoid the wreckage of the car that fell from the sky.
The pickup truck that Kalam was driving crashed down the mountain road and exploded, with flames soaring into the sky, and fragments of the vehicle flew in all directions like fragments of artillery shells. Although a Ford Raptor in the back braked the car in time, the windshield was directly shattered by splinters, and the hood of the car was also lifted off!
Another flash of fire flashed from the hillside.
This time, without waiting for it to fly closer, Xia Lei and Tang Yuyan pushed the car door and jumped in.
The second rocket hit a rock in front of it, and half of the huge rock was blown off, and the remaining part rolled down into the middle of the mountain road. The unmanned axe raptor crashed headlong into the rock and stopped.
"Fight!" Tang Yuyan yelled, and quickly ran towards the bottom of a mountain cliff, shooting blindly at the hillside.
The agents of the two cars behind also quickly got out of the car, found cover nearby, hid, some shot blindly, and some used night vision equipment to search for targets, ready to kill with sniper rifles.
Xia Lei also hid behind a rock, his head buzzing, and his hands trembling slightly. There were constant gunshots and explosions, and bullets whizzing overhead, but his mind was blank and he couldn't think. This is the battlefield, every bullet is merciless, every second is hard!
Although he had the experience of using a sniper rifle to duel three killers, it was not a battlefield at all, and it was not even a close battle, because the opponent could not get close to his sniper range of up to 3,200 meters, and once he got close, he could solve the opponent with a single bullet! Twenty guns, and rockets, this is definitely a hail of bullets!
Tang Yuyan discovered Xia Lei's abnormal condition, she bit her lower lip, picked up the rifle in her hand, and rushed to Xia Lei's side.
Xia Lei looked at her blankly, and did not react at all.
"What's wrong with you?" Tang Yuyan grabbed Xia Lei's shoulder and shook it vigorously, "You cheer up!"
Another rocket exploded, and one of the agents was blown off his legs. Fragments of rock puffed into his body, blood spurting like a fountain. Such an injury could not be saved even if it was immediately on the operating table, let alone in this barren mountain range.
But it was also this explosion that woke Xia Lei up, and he shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel the fear in his heart and the discomfort of going to the battlefield for the first time.
"Can you still shoot, let me do if you can't!" Tang Yuyan shouted from Xia Lei.
"I can!" Charley adjusted his stance behind the rock, then poked his sniper rifle out of the rocky face. His body pressed against the inside of the rock, slowly poking his head up. However, instead of poking out of the rock entirely, he summoned the ability of his left eye to penetrate the top of the rock and search for the bazooka operator.
That bazooka operator is the biggest threat, and he must be killed.
The left eye silently penetrates the top part of the rock, revealing the situation on the opposite hillside. No less than thirty armed men were rapidly advancing on this side of the mountain road. They were dressed in camouflage combat uniforms, with armor and tactical helmets, and were extremely well equipped. These armed men cover with fire in the front row, and the rear row uses the terrain to advance quickly, and then switch to cover and advance with firepower, and the high combat quality is not at all comparable to the armed personnel of Santa Ita, nor is it comparable to the Afghan Defense Forces!
As soon as Xia Lei searched, he soon found the armed man carrying an RPG bazooka, who was quietly leaning in under the cover of his teammates' fire, and aimed a line of infrared beam fired from the sight at a rock. Behind the rock were two Chinese agents, who were so overwhelmed by the other's firepower that they couldn't look up.
In Xia Lei's left eye, he could even see the sneer on the corner of the mouth of the warrior carrying the RPG bazooka.
"You guy, where is your guts, give me the sniper rifle!" Tang Yuyan was furious.
Charley blocked her view with his back, then pulled the trigger. The modified sniper rifle made a muffled sound, and a bullet whistled out, hitting the center of the eyebrows of the armed man carrying the RPG. Half of the armed man's head was blown off, and the rockets fired from the bazooka flew into the sky because of his death.
By the time Tang Yuyan adjusted her gaze, Xia Lei had already completed the sniping, and she didn't see the sniping process at all.
This is also the reason why Xia Lei blocked her view with his back, he didn't want Tang Yuyan to find out that his head was still hiding under the rock when he sniped the RPG bazooka operator.
"I've already killed that bazooka operator. Xia Lei said. At this moment, he has entered the state and gradually adapted to the atmosphere of the battlefield.
"You...... How did you do it?" Tang Yuyan looked at Xia Lei in surprise, with a look of disbelief, because it was too fast, if it was her, she was probably still looking for the bazooka operator, and then she had to look for a suitable sniper opportunity, but Xia Lei only took less than three seconds to kill the target!
At this moment, a bullet suddenly hit the rock where the two were hiding, and the huge impact made the rock tremble, and the crumbling rock fragments flew past the top of their heads.
That's the sniper of the opposing side.
"Cover me, it's too low, I need to find a high sniper spot. Xia Lei said.
Tang Yuyan nodded, and then gave an order to the communicator, "Everyone, suppress the fire!" After speaking, she poked the rifle in her hand out from the side of the rock, and shot indiscriminately in the direction of the hillside.
Dada, dada......
Bang bang bang, bang......
All the guns were firing, and the bullets made a shining trail in the night sky.
Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's position was disrupted, Xia Lei suddenly rushed out from behind the rocks, and then ran and sprinted to the other side of the hill. He also doesn't run straight with his head down, changing direction every few steps to prevent the opposing snipers from having a chance to lock onto him.
The hillside was in the blink of an eye, and a three-meter-high rock blocked the way. Xia Lei, who was running, showed no signs of stopping, kicked his feet on the ground, and his body suddenly rose from the ground, and jumped to the top of the rock with a swish. Just as he jumped onto the rock, a bullet from a sniper rifle hit the rock beneath his feet, splashing a cloud of sparks and rock fragments.
The sniper on the other side apparently judged that he would climb the rock and fired, but he didn't expect him to jump directly over the rock!
