Chapter 1083: The Cage Under Artillery Fire
Yu Zhenhai's voice soon came from the satellite phone, very excited, "Brother Xia! Well done! Ha ha...... Relieve gas! ”
Xia Lei said: "Brother Yu, you can laugh, but I can't laugh." I'm stuck on this reef, so please send someone to pick me up. ”
"We're already on our way." Yu Zhenhai said with a smile: "You have done such a beautiful thing, you are trapped, how can we sit idly by, I will pick you up in person!" Without the backing of the U.S. military, the Philippine Navy is nothing more than a scout. If he dares to shoot you once, Lao Tzu will shoot them ten!"
Xia Lei smiled, "Then I'll wait for you on the beach in the west." After a pause, he added, "My ghost has no one. The plane has landed on Dagua Island, can you get your people to equip it with splitting air-to-air missiles? I guess we'll use it later. ”
"Okay, I'll have someone do it right away. We'll see you soon. Yu Zhenhai hung up the phone.
During the call with Yu Zhenhai, Xia Lei heard the sound of the waves, and he was obviously not in the Dagua Island military base, but on a warship. As the number one figure in the navy in the southern seas, Yu Zhenhai personally went out, how could that scene be smaller? Without the support of the Seventh Fleet, the Philippine Navy and the troops stationed in the Philippines simply would not be enough!
Xia Lei put away his satellite phone, and his expression was relaxed, "I booked a boat, and I will be able to go home soon." ”
The members of the Zodiac team also relaxed.
It was at this time that several Philippine Navy fighters searching the west side of the beach spotted a fishing boat hiding behind the reef. One of the ensigns shouted: "We found their ship!" They're still on the island!"
"Kill them!" Someone yelled here.
"Kill the bandits!" Someone chimed in.
There was a lot of shouting on the beach, and every Philippine Navy soldier felt like he had been beaten with blood. A Filipino officer, wearing the rank of colonel, began directing people to search the forest next to the beach, while using an unflooded communicator to contact the Philippine military for reinforcements.
Before the Filipino fighters on the beach could enter the forest, four Comanche helicopters and a large Chinook transport appeared in the sky. As soon as the four Comanche helicopters arrived at the military base on the island and reef, they immediately dispersed and surrounded the island from four directions. Several ropes hung from the Chinook transport plane, and one by one the Marines armed to the teeth abeiled down from the cabin.
On the sea, more than a dozen armed patrol boats also rushed towards this side at the fastest speed, and each armed patrol boat had special forces from the US Marine Corps and CIA agents in civilian clothes.
Based on this battle, it can be completely inferred that the CIA has judged that Xia Lei is on this military island and reef based on what happened and the available intelligence!
The Seventh Fleet did leave, and that was out of grand strategic considerations. But the CIA is not the Seventh Fleet, and if there is a chance to take out Xia Lei, they will definitely do it at all costs. And as long as the CIA provides accurate and credible intelligence, the White House and the Pentagon will definitely approve the CIA's actions, and even let the US military stationed in the Philippines provide all the help!
As soon as the US troops arrived, the Philippine Navy soldiers on the beach suddenly became excited. The highest-ranking Philippine colonel met on the beach with the U.S. commander who commanded the operation and struck up a conversation.
In the forest, Xia Lei's gaze locked on the lips of the two leading figures, and used lip reading techniques to interpret the conversation between the two.
The Philippine colonel and the U.S. commander spoke English.
"Our men found their boat on the west side of the beach." The Philippine colonel said: "The boat did not leave, they must still be on this island." We've surrounded them and they can't run! ”
The U.S. commander said: "We suspect that Xia Lei of Huaguo is on this island, and the person who told you, no matter who it is, sees this person in the photo and shoots him immediately." Kill the person who kills Xia Lei, and we will reward 5 million dollars. He took out a photo, and the person in the photo was none other than Xia Lei.
"No problem!" Colonel Filipino said.
"Take your men into the forest to search, and we will provide you with weapons and equipment, as well as air fire support." said the commander of the US army.
"I'll kill Xia Lei myself." Colonel Filipino said. 5 million US dollars, which is enough to make him rich for a lifetime, of course he is tempted.
In the forest on the edge of the beach, Erdemutu said: "Boss, it seems that we have to withdraw to the base in the center of the island, they will soon start a carpet search, we can't shoot at them at all, because as soon as we shoot, we will reveal our position, and the four Comanche helicopters in the sky will have a target for dumping ammunition, and we will not be able to avoid the bombardment of machine guns." ”
Xia Lei said: "You can't return to the base in the center of the island. ”
"Why?" Erdemutu is incomprehensible.
Xia Lei said: "Didn't you see that the U.S. troops were just besieged and didn't go into the forest to search? They were just here to confirm the situation. If they confirm that we are on this island, I'm sure there will be missiles coming in a few minutes. Most of the missiles were also landed at military bases and radar stations in the center of the island. ”
Erdemutu suddenly understood, "No wonder the menacing people didn't come in, and they also gave guns and ammunition to the Filipinos, it turned out that the Filipinos were used as cannon fodder." ”
Yelena sneered, "The lives of Americans are very expensive, how can they come to send them to death." Filipinos have always been cannon fodder for the United States, and if this kind of thing comes in and dies, then what value does the Philippines, an ally of the United States, have? ”
On the beach, several armed patrol boats washed up on the beach and distributed boxes of weapons and ammunition to Filipino fighters on the beach.
Giovanna said worriedly: "Boss, the Filipinos will soon search this side after receiving weapons and ammunition, but we can't shoot, how can this battle be fought?" ”
Kyoko Tsukino said, "So, sometimes it's best to use a knife. ”
Giovanna glanced at Kyoko Tsukino with a blank expression.
At this time, Angu Mi Khan, who was looking at the sea with a telescope, suddenly said: "Boss, your judgment is really accurate, the American warship is here again, it is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer!" ”
Xia Lei actually saw it. The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, the most powerful missile destroyer in active service in the US Navy. Given the amount of ammunition a Peri-Burke-class destroyer carried, it would be a simple matter to blow the island to the ground.
The C.I.A.'s plan didn't seem complicated: first to surround the island and then have the Filipinos use it as cannon fodder to search for it. The island is not large, and it is inevitable that the Filipinos will encounter his men, and in the event of an exchange of fire, the Ali Burke-class destroyers waiting at sea will be in full fire, and the guns and missiles will rain down. Add to that the four Comanche helicopters in space, and the people they want to kill won't be able to escape at all!
"Boss, when is the boat you ordered?" Angumi Khan said in a hurry.
"Soon, I guess that Ali Burke-class destroyer has detected our ship." As he spoke, Xia Lei took off his equipment bag, and then took out his hacker computer, "But I still have to put a little real pressure on the Americans, otherwise there is a real possibility that the two of them will fight." ”
"Don't fight?" Yelena said puzzledly: "If the warships of the Chinese country don't open fire and don't follow your Americans and Filipinos to fight, will the Americans let us go?" They've definitely decided by now that we can't escape. ”
"Of course I want to fight, but it's not Huaguo's warships, but I'll fight myself." Xia Lei's fingers operated on the hacker's computer, and his ten fingers swept across the keyboard like the wind.
More than 100 kilometers away, the military base of Dagua Island. Ghost no one who fills up fuel and completes reloading. The plane slid out of the hangar, then sprinted down the runway, then rose from the ground, accelerated during takeoff, shot into the sky like a furious cannonball, and disappeared from the sight of the ground crew in the blink of an eye.
On the beach, the U.S. military commander, who was directing the Marine Corps' special forces operations, received a phone call, "What? China's warship cluster is coming this way? Four destroyers? Then it's certain that Xia Lei is here, and they're going to take him back! This time, I'm going to kill Xia Lei no matter what! ”
The call was apparently from the Ali Burke-class destroyer, whose radar had already spotted the Chinese warship cluster.
"Immediately let our fighters take off, scare the warships of the Chinese country, and you immediately open fire and bombard the military bases on the island! I guess Xia Lei and they are still hiding there waiting to be answered! The U.S. commander hung up.
In the next second, the guns of the Ali Burke-class destroyers, anchored off the coast of the island, were raised, and the first shells were fired.
Bang!
The military base in the center of the island suddenly burst into flames!
Knock knock knock......
Not only the naval guns were firing, but the machine gun arrays of the Alleigh Burke-class destroyers were also firing wildly at the military base in the center of the island. In just a few seconds, the military base in the center of the island was flooded with artillery fire, and then it was wiped out!
Sou!
A Tomahawk cruise. The missile lifted off from the silo and flew into the area behind the island that could not be covered by the ship's guns and machine guns.
Bang!
A mushroom cloud suddenly rose into the air.
"So, what are you waiting for?" The US commander shouted at the Filipinos: "Hurry up and search the island, and kill the Chinese on the island no matter what!" ”
The Filipino colonel began yelling at his men to go into the forest.
A large group of Philippine Navy soldiers fanned out towards the forest on the edge of the beach, only three hundred meters away from the hiding place of Xia Lei and the members of the Zodiac team.
In the sky, four Comanche helicopters flew slowly, narrowing the search area to match the actions of Philippine Navy fighters. Once Xia Lei and the people of the Zodiac team are discovered, they will ignore the Filipino warriors on the ground, and they will definitely fire with full firepower and attack indiscriminately!
Heaven, earth and sea, this is a prison cage under artillery fire!
Doodle, doodle......
On the beach, the US commander's cell phone rang again.
He answered the phone, looking solemn, "Mr. Williams, yes, I'm sure he's on this island. Don't worry, by the time the warships of China arrived, the island would have been scorched by us. Xia Lei is dead this time, this is the grave he dug for himself, and I will fill it with my own hands. ”
Williams' voice came from the phone, "I remind you again, kill Xia Lei at all costs!" Don't worry about the warships of Huaguo! ”
"Yes, I understand." The U.S. commander hung up the phone, and he looked at the flames and smoke that were constantly rising from the island, and a cruel sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
