Chapter 196: Surround the Delta
readx;
In the corridor on the second floor of the small building, the dim light shines. The members of the www.biquge.info Delta saw John's fingers bent as if he were holding a cylindrical object in front of his eyes.
Sniper!
Seeing John's gesture, the other members of the Delta team were shocked at the same time.
This is where they have lived for more than a month, and they will check the space around them every day for a thousand meters; But now, when they were about to go on a mission, a sniper appeared outside the small building!
The rest of the team didn't doubt John's hint. As a member of the Delta Special Forces, all the skills they have mastered are top-notch, and the Delta Special Forces of their detachment have also experienced the Iraq War, and their grasp of danger and sensitivity have also been trained.
Now all that is hovering in everyone's minds is the sniper who has no origin outside! As the captain, a wisp of anxiety gradually rose in Brent's heart. The night sky in the east is still bright. The sound of explosions and gunfire never stopped.
As members of the U.S. military, their duty is to fight for the interests of the United States. But at this critical time, he was stopped by a mysterious sniper, which couldn't help but make Brent angry.
However, Brent was not impulsive, and gestured to the other two snipers in the detachment in addition to himself.
In front of the Soviet-style small building, there is a flat land of dozens of square meters; In each of the four corners and center of the flat land, there is a half-meter-high flower bed with some unknown flowers and plants planted inside.
And outside the flat land, there is a forest that surrounds the entire small building. The trees in the woods are not dense, they stand in twos and threes.
The reason why the Delta Detachment used this place as a temporary residence was because there was a layer of trees on the perimeter of this place, and the location was hidden. And because Kandahar Airport is just a few hundred meters away, the Delta detachment can fly to wherever they are needed at any time through this airfield, which is controlled by the US military.
In addition to bringing a layer of natural concealment to the small building, the outer layer of the grove can also prevent the delta from being dumpled in case of emergencies.
Although it was not clear how many people were ambushed there, anyone in the Delta detachment knew that the enemy outside the small building would definitely not be just the sniper.
Because since the other party dared to ambush outside, he knew who lived in the small building. The Delta detachment lives in this small Soviet-style building, and although it is very secretive, a group of Westerners will always reveal some clues to be known to those who are interested in this crowded Central Asian country.
But there is no way to do it, being in a war zone, this war zone is still another country. If you want to be foolproof of everything, that's impossible. And the reason why Delta did not place its station in the 402 machine infantry battalion was because of their special surname. One of the things that special forces have to say is the need for secrecy. If you mix with a group of ordinary soldiers, some secrets will always be unconsciously revealed.
Although it is contradictory to say. But that's just the way it is. A temporary place of residence and the internal secrets of the delta, which of the two is more important, has its own right choice.
He Xiaoqiang lay under the outermost tree with a grin, and watched from Barrett's scope as the two Delta Special Forces crawled towards the flower beds on both sides of the door of the small building with ease and agility. The pouting ass is very conspicuous.
"Fuck, you dare to call yourself a special soldier even like this! Bah! He Xiaoqiang spat out disdainfully and muttered in his heart.
He didn't want to think about it, the strength of the two sides was not at the same level. Now it is the right time and place for one side, and the other side is beginning to know nothing. On the ambush side, two retired special forces from the former Delta led the way. Very cleverly crossed the alarm trap set by the Delta detachment. Otherwise, how could He Xiaoqiang's side occupy the initiative so easily.
And the delta is not a showcase. In the US military, they are all the elite of the elite, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
When the two Delta Snipers were in action, the rest of the team split up at Brent's gesture. As the captain and the only heavy sniper in the detachment, Brent and the two machine gunners slipped back into the building. The three of them were ready to go to the top of the building and occupy the commanding heights.
Michael's bodyguards are all led by a middle-aged man named Tom. Tom is also Michael's bodyguard captain and earns a million-dollar annual salary. Of course, this is also related to Tom's own strength.
Tom comes from the British Special Forces Special Air Service Regiment. April 3, 1980. Five Iranian militants occupied the British embassy in Iran. 26 hostages were taken. At that time, Britain sent 24 special forces of the Special Air Service Regiment to the rescue. Tom, on the other hand, is one of the 24 special forces.
Although Tom is now nearly fifty years old. The physical fitness is not as good as when I was in my 20s. But his veteran experience is what Michael, who often walks in the war zone, needs. After following Michael for 8 years, he won Michael's trust and became the captain of the bodyguard.
Tom has confidence in his men, but now he is facing American special forces. Although the Delta Special Forces, in Tom's opinion, are not comparable to the Special Air Service Regiment. But now the other side has an advantage in numbers and weapons. Tom, in particular, was a little uneasy about the 14 young Orientals.
For the group of young people under Li Mo who are not more than 20 years old, Tom has always been disdainful in his heart. If there is a genius in the world, Tom believes. A genius can get comprehensive and rigorous training before the age of 20 and become a master comparable to the skills of special forces. But Tom didn't believe that all 14 young people were that kind of genius. He didn't believe in his heart that there were so many geniuses. If the geniuses were pulled casually, there would be more than a dozen, and the geniuses would not be eye-catching in today's society.
"Captain He, the other party has started to act. What do we do next? Tom leaned behind the tree closest to He Xiaoqiang. The body on the side overlaps with the trunk of the tree. In this place where there are no fixed bunkers. Tom can better protect himself by hiding it this way. At least Tom's life won't be in danger until the tree is pierced with a heavy sniper rifle.
He Xiaoqiang secretly despised this gringo. When have you been testing yourself? For this group of foreign special forces from the special forces, He Xiaoqiang also disdains it in his heart. Although the experience is richer than that of the Meteor Commando, it is not at the same level as the comprehensive quality.
"Captain Tom, you have a lot of experience. Why don't you decide what to do? He Xiaoqiang rolled his eyes and kicked the ball back.
He didn't care how Tom commanded. In the eyes of He Xiaoqiang and other members of the Meteor Commando. At the moment, this battle is just a grinding for them. Not even a grinding, but an opportunity to see the special forces of other countries.
Tom didn't expect the young man who had been swaggering all the time to kick the ball straight back. For a moment he didn't know what to do.
In Tom's mind, he didn't know the bottom of this sniper mission. Also belong to special forces. If the number of people on the two sides is not much different, it is difficult to distinguish a winner or loser. Especially when fighting to the death. However, this mission is only to drag these delta special forces and prevent the other party from supporting the battle in the east.
"Why don't we get the snipers into action first and put some pressure on the other side?" Tom whispered.
Quiet in the woods though. But the fighting in the east and the noise in the airport a few hundred meters away. muffled the voices of the two talking.
He Xiaoqiang pursed his mouth and did not speak. His face suddenly straightened. Through the shimmer sight, he turned around the outside of the small building, and settled on a flower bed on the left.
He remembered that one of the opposing snipers was hiding behind this flower bed. However, He Xiaoqiang did not move. He knew that the diameter of the flower bed was about one meter. The outer layer is made of cement, and the inside is sandy. With such a thick barrier, even a 12.7mm sniper rifle is difficult to penetrate. Even if it is pierced, the bullet will not be accurate. Snipers hiding behind flower beds will definitely escape.
He Xiaoqiang doesn't do things that he is not sure of. An impulse suddenly rose in his heart. That's to make a lore to show Tom next to him. The Meteor Commando is the king of the special forces.
As soon as the aura on his body changed, it instantly converged. He Xiaoqiang, who was lying there quietly, was like a sculpture that fell to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that he was still talking, Tom would almost have thought it was a fallen sculpture!
The atmosphere around the small building became more and more oppressive. Even some unknown insects covered their mouths and burrowed back into their holes.
Both sides are the elite of the military. No one began to fire. Special forces, in addition to outstanding skills, good perseverance is also possessed by a qualified special forces.
The war in the East is becoming more and more intense. Brent, hidden behind the skylight on the roof, became more and more anxious. If it weren't for the need for support from the 402nd Infantry Battalion, Brent would be more than willing to fight the other side.
But now the situation there seems to be no good. If the infantry battalion is wiped out by the Taliban guerrillas. For the United States, it was simply a resounding slap in the face. For this, it is not known how many people will resign. He Brent will not be an exception.
Because this Delta detachment is stationed here, it is to support the Jibu battalion. Kandahar is the home of the Taliban. There are so many Taliban here, not to mention, they are very secretive. You won't know if a middle-aged man in slippers and pedaling on a dilapidated bicycle on the street is a Taliban militant or not.
But now the temporary station of Delta is surrounded by a group of strangers.
Five minutes passed, and Brent's anxiety was already on his face. Gritting his teeth, he quietly walked Barrett through the skylight, and saw a figure crouching behind a tree in the woods on the left from the infrared thermal imaging scope.
Taking a deep breath, Brent pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" A loud bang broke the silence. The sound of the 12.7mm sniper rifle firing is not earth-shattering, but it is not comparable to ordinary automatic rifles.
Just as a smile hung on Brent's lips, the eyes behind the scope suddenly glared at the boss. He found that the target he had just fired at had moved, and it was quickly crossing a distance of more than two meters to the back of another tree.
Missed! How can it be! Brent could barely believe his eyes. He was the detachment's number one sniper. Aim at one of the targets that opened fire, but it didn't even get hit!
Suddenly, Brent's head shrank and rolled to his right.
"Da Da Da ......"
Brent saw that the position he was standing in had been beaten and smashed. He estimated that at least 10 automatic rifles had just fired at him.
Lying on the ground two meters away from the skylight, Brent did not rejoice in the slightest, and the worry in his heart increased. He only fired one shot, and in such a short period of time, the opponent actually had 10 automatic weapons find his position and fire. In particular, the position where the opponent hit was just below the skylight, which was less than 1 meter square. Brent felt that if you calculated the area hit by the opponent, there would be only a rectangle at most 1 meter long and no more than 30 centimeters wide.
What does this mean? It shows that the other party is not only sensitive, but also sharpshooters. This window is more than 200 meters away from the woods. The opponent's 10 automatic rifles each fired one point, and all 30 rounds hit a 0.3-square-meter wall. What kind of marksmanship is this? What's more, when the other party fired, he definitely didn't have time to aim, but instinctively reacted after Brent fired and raised his gun to fire at Brent's standing position!
mygod! Brent lay on the concrete floor and exclaimed to himself.
Who are these people? Before that, Brent guessed in his mind that the snipers outside were Taliban militants. They had come to stop the Delta detachment from supporting the war in the east. But now that he had seen the other party's marksmanship, Brent was suspicious again.
The Taliban have snipers, Brent is well aware. Although he was proud of himself as a member of the U.S. Special Forces, he did not underestimate any opponent. A person who is arrogant and despises his opponent cannot be a commander. In the U.S. military, it is not impossible to have children of powerful people like that kind of gilded, but they will not become front-line army commanders, but will work as an auxiliary surname such as a staff officer in the military department.
Brent was able to become the lieutenant colonel commander of a detachment in the delta, and he climbed up step by step on his own.
Just as Brent racked his brains to think of a countermeasure, the communicator on his shoulder vibrate.
After the channels were connected, the roar of Tony, the commander of the Jibu Battalion, could be heard from the communicator.
"Lieutenant Colonel Brent, don't you know that I'm at war here? Why didn't you come to help? Do you want to do it and watch the Jibu Battalion be wiped out by the other side? I'm going to go to the headquarters and sue you and take you to court-martial......"
Roars and explosions from the communicator slammed down on Brent's heart. Brent didn't care about Tony's threat, he had a good relationship with Tony, and knew that the other party was at a critical time. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a gaffe yelling.
"Lieutenant Colonel Tony, I want to rush to your aid immediately and get rid of those damned natives." Brent explained with a wry smile.
"So where are you now, and why haven't I seen your Delta detachment in action?" After Tony vented, the anger had subsided a lot, and the tone of his voice had calmed down.
"That's what I'm about to tell you. Very bad news. Brent said in a heavy voice, "I'm surrounded by a group of mysterious people with excellent marksmanship, and I can't support you for the time being!" ”
Tony didn't hear clearly at first, but quickly reacted and asked with wide eyes in disbelief, "What?" Are you surrounded? Damn, it must be the Taliban militants. Can't you deal with those native rats? ”
No matter what he said, in his heart, Tony had to admit it. The members of the Delta are of higher quality and much stronger than the soldiers of the Jibu Battalion in his hands. At this time, when I heard that the delta was surrounded, the first thing that came to mind was that the other party was joking. Where in Afghanistan is there any armed force that can surround a detachment of Delta special forces?
"Really, Tony, I'm in a very bad situation here. I don't even know how many people there are right now. But what is certain is that the other side is composed of a group of people with extremely good marksmanship, the number of which is between 10 and 40 people. I won't be able to help you anytime soon! Brent said this, his mouth full of bitterness. The dignified Delta special forces were surrounded! And it's very tightly surrounded. After seeing the opponent's marksmanship, Brent had no idea of breaking through. He was now wondering if it was time for him to ask his superiors for support. With the opponent's marksmanship, breaking through is simply an act of looking for death. Because any special forces, when breaking through, cannot fully exert 100% of their strength. After all, when breaking through, he had to distract some of his energy to 'run away'.
Originally, when the confrontation was in place, the two sides did not dare to act rashly. If one side wants to break through, it will definitely show flaws, and at such times, flaws will be exposed. That would be tantamount to being seized by the enemy. It will be a fatal blow to you.
“…… Then be careful. I will ask for support from Bagram Air Force Base, and hopefully we will live until Air Force support arrives! Tony was silent for a moment before he said quietly. At this time, Tony's heart was also filled with pessimism. Barcleum Air Base is located 300 kilometers away from Kandahar. It takes 20 minutes for the support plane to get here. Whether the Jibu battalion can withstand 20 minutes is still unknown.
"Take care, Lieutenant Colonel Tony, if it really doesn't work, find a way to break through. As long as the Jibu Battalion is still there, we will get it back here! Brent said solemnly, and the two hung up the communication at the same time.
"Bang bang bang bang......" There was another crossfire outside the small building.
It turned out that after 10 automatic weapons fired at Brent, some of the Delta team members keenly observed some of the enemy's hiding places. Although modern weapons are equipped with flame suppressors, they are not able to fully control the exposed flames at the muzzle. In the dark woods, firing with an automatic rifle, the flame from the muzzle of the gun was a glaring flaw.
The Delta team took the opportunity to fire at the exposed targets from their hiding places. But how did they know that the people who fired just now were all members of the Meteor Commando. After firing fire, they moved their hiding places. The speed was very fast, and even if the delta counterattacked in a short time, it did not touch a single hair of the Meteor Commando members.
Not only that, but it also exposed the hidden location of the Delta team members. Locked by a member of the Meteor Commando who has re-hidden.
