At 2 a.m., in the northeastern Somali town, Bargal had fallen into a deep sleep. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the beginning, whenever the engine or the sky propeller was heard outside at night, the curious townspeople would hide behind the dark windows and quietly look outside.

After a period of 'adaptation', the townspeople learned a little bit about the origins of the GIs, and it was said that the political axe army was going to practice with foreigners. If it had been two years ago, the townspeople would have dragged their families and fled far away when they saw the army, but after the peace in Somalia, they had never heard of any wars in the country, and compared with the previous local armed forces with poor discipline, except for damaging residents' things or requisitioning houses and land, they would not have a serious impact on the lives of townspeople.

Accustomed to the roar of engines outside at night or the occasional propeller in the sky, the townspeople no longer seemed to have been hiding behind dark windows or watching with alarm or curiosity. Only some of the young people who did not fall asleep still looked at the army with longing.

The headquarters of the 'Light of Peace' exercise was brightly lit at this time. Five special forces commanders from five countries were calculating on a map, while a staff officer kept coming in and out, reporting some important intelligence and information.

The operation to target the pirate gang at Cape Havon has begun in secret. A total of 100 special forces from the five countries were scattered and divided into four parts, numbered A/B/C/D. In order to fully ensure the combat effectiveness of the special forces, although they were scattered and reorganized, they were also reorganized according to the basic unit of a three-person group, that is, the most basic combat units of the special forces of various countries were not destroyed, and then the three-person combat group was the basic unit. In the case of Team A, for example, there are 25 people and 8 combat groups in addition to one chosen commander. These combat groups belong to different countries, but the three special forces of the combat groups are from the same country, so as to prevent problems in cooperation with each other after separation, resulting in mission errors.

Because on the mainland side of Cape Hafon, an infantry battalion of the Somali Defence Force set up a defensive line to prevent pirates from escaping along the land to the mainland, the responsibility for this combat exercise was how to catch the 80 pirates scattered in four strongholds.

According to the plan of the exercise headquarters, the center of Hafeng Point took out the pirate nest built in the mountain forest and high ground, and according to intelligence, 40-50 pirates were entrenched, and the pirate leader Abdi stayed there most of the time. In the plan, attacking the pirate's lair became a key point in the mission. The mission of the A team, which brings together the elites of the special forces of the five countries, is to use helicopters to directly airborne to carry out a surprise attack on the pirate's lair, and the task is not only to exterminate the pirates, but the most important thing is to find evidence of the collusion between the pirates and foreign forces, and in the unlikely case, it is necessary to ensure the capture of the pirate leader Abdi.

The mission of raiding the pirate's lair is only one focus, and the most elite A team is directly airlifted by two Mi-8 transport helicopters carrying auxiliary fuel to 25 special forces airborne, while two Mi-24 gunships are responsible for escorting and providing fire support for special forces in the event of a surprise attack.

After detailed calculations, the exercise command found that the success rate of the successful completion of this task was more than 95 percent, and that it would not cause losses to its own side.

What was most troublesome for the exercise command was the remaining thirty pirate members of the pirate gang who lived with the local residents. Most of these people are locals, familiar with the local terrain, and have a deep 'popular base', which is very detrimental to how to identify and catch pirates hiding in Cape Hafeng. In addition, for these local residents who are 'close' to the pirates, the operation force must always be vigilant to prevent these 'pirate logistics personnel' from causing damage to the operation force.

In order to gradually increase the combat effectiveness of the special forces, the exercise headquarters did not choose a way to contact the residents of Hafengjiao. Instead, this authority is delegated to the operational forces, and the squad commanders are free to choose whether or not to engage with the local population. Because special forces are not ordinary troops, but troops to carry out special tasks, they often go deep behind enemy lines, without a popular base and support, in this case they can only rely on the temporary reaction capability of the operational forces. Neither did the commanders of the exercise command want to provide more and more favorable resources to the troops.

In short, everything is on your own.

Sitting in a transport ship converted from a fishing boat, He Xiaoqiang, the leader of Team C, and several combat team leaders were making the final operational deployment before the war with the few intelligence information in their hands.

The combat mission of Team C was to carry a transport ship from Galbale into a fishing boat returning to Huldieu and then to make a covert landing from the narrow area of Cape Haphon, jutting out of Cape Khavon opposite Huldieu. According to the information in hand, there was a pirate post at the place where they landed, and at the northernmost tip of Cape Hafeng, the pirates had a small high-speed fishing boat, which was responsible for observing the sea movements in the northern part of Cape Hafeng, and holding an evacuation route for pirates in the event of an attack.

"Sir, Haldieu is 10 kilometres from the sea where the landing site is located, and the pirate's outpost is set up on a high slope 300 metres above the sea, and at night, although the angle and distance of observation are limited, the sound of the fishing boat's engine is enough for the pirate to hear from a distance of 1 kilometre. This is very detrimental to our raids. Kim Jong-pyeong, the leader of a North Korean special forces combat group in the team, pointed to the route of the operation on the map.

He Xiaoqiang nodded and said, "If you have any ideas, please say." "In Team C, except for one combat team and he himself is from the Meteor Commando, the other 7 combat teams belong to the special forces of the four countries, and each country has two combat teams of six people each. Kim Jong Ping's combat team is a professional sniper team, and in tonight's mission, their team will be the first to land and be responsible for clearing pirate posts. Because the pirate's outpost is a lookout post, it is not possible to assassinate people in close proximity, only by relying on professional snipers to snipe silently from a long distance.

"It's a northeasterly wind of 4-5 now, and there must be waves north of Cape Hafeng, which will mask part of the ringing of the fishing boat's engine, enough for the fishing boat to advance at a low speed to a distance of 700 meters to the landing site. There is no moonlight tonight, and the naked eye can see a moving object with an area of more than three square meters within 400 meters, and beyond 400 meters, the dark shadow of the ship we are on the sea cannot be seen with the naked eye. I suggested turning off the engine a kilometer from the landing site, pushing the fishing boat 400 meters to anchor with wind and waves, and then landing in a rubber boat. ”

Kim Jong-pyeong's proposal is a very secret approach, but there are time requirements. Modern ships have no sails, and it takes at least 20 minutes to move 400 meters just by the natural propulsion of the wind and waves. There is only one rubber boat on the fishing boat, and it can only transport three people to land at a time. The dinghy is still manual, so you need to paddle through it yourself.

"With this kind of wind, are you sure you can kill the pirates on the watchtower at a distance of four hundred meters?" He Xiaoqiang frowned and pondered for a while before asking.

Although the dinghy is small, the sound of the paddle is directly proportional to the speed of movement. It was 2 o'clock, and it was expected that the arrival time in Hurdillo would be 30 minutes later, and the time naturally propelled by the wind and waves would take 20 minutes, and the crowd would have only 10 minutes to prepare. Because three points is the time for action, once the other directions start to act, the pirates here will definitely immediately receive the news and be vigilant, and the action will be exposed at that time. Team C's mission is not only to wipe out all the pirates here, but also to ensure that information is not leaked. Because they want to prevent other action teams from escaping here. Once this place was occupied, the news was known to the pirates. The pirates are bound to evacuate from other places, causing the mission to fail. A hundred special forces used various weapons to fight 80 pirates, and if they could not capture and eliminate all of them, it would be a mission failure for them.

Team C is to take this place while moving elsewhere, and keep it strictly confidential. Lure the pirates into escaping the net from here, and wait for the rabbits to catch the pirates in one go.

But in this way, the pirates on the watchtower must be dealt with first, and one shot must be fired at a distance of four hundred meters, and in a silent manner.

400 meters of sniping, it is easy for a professional sniper as long as he has the right weapon. But now on the windy and rough sea, it is very difficult for Kim Jong-pyeong to kill the pirates on the rocky rubber boat. In order to prevent the sound of gunfire from alarming the pirates, heavy sniper rifles cannot be used. And the bullets of light sniper rifles, under such winds, are too highly affected by external influences. It's extremely difficult to hit in one hit.

Moreover, the sniper rifle should be equipped with a muffler, which has a great impact on the trajectory and hitting accuracy, and the sniper rifle in Kim Jong Pyong's hand is a specially made short-barreled Remington 700 with a muffler, and the maximum firing range is only 600 meters. It is difficult to kill a pirate with a single shot at a distance of 400 meters and in a harsh environment.

Kim Jung-pyeong was not completely sure, and said hesitantly, "The success rate is only half, if I can shorten it by 50 meters, I will be 80% sure." ”

The difference between the 400m and the 350m is only 50m, but the certainty of success has improved by 30%. Judging by Kim Jong Ping's look, he has this kind of self-confidence.

He Xiaoqiang didn't agree directly, but he knew that although everyone in the Meteor Commando Team was a sniper, there was still a gap between them and the top professional snipers in various countries. After all, the training of Meteor Commandos in professional sniping is not as scientific and formal as in other countries. Although Luo Xiang is now planning to give the Meteor Commando a strengthened training, the training has not yet begun.

"Okay, if the others don't have an opinion, we just decide. Lieutenant Kim, it's up to you this time! He Xiaoqiang thought about it and agreed to Jin Zhengping's proposal.
