Chapter 244: Departure
Twenty wolf mercenaries were dispatched to form a "mini-company of brothers", and the goal of their operation was to "save Private Comrade Keane".
This was a "prison robbery" operation, and it was also a local war. The opponent of the wolves is Dubai's well-equipped battalion of troops, a few hundred men. Although the wolves are equipped with a lot of modern weapons, assault rifles, grenades, explosives, rockets, etc., they can't compare with other armies! The Dubai military stationed a battalion in the desert cage prison, which is like a military base, equipped with anti-aircraft radar, anti-aircraft artillery, armored vehicles, and so on.
This operation can only succeed, not fail!! Because if the operation fails, the wolf pack mercenary organization is finished.
For this prison robbery, the wolves have taken great pains and carefully planned before and after.
Before the end of the world comes, Dubai is experiencing the apocalyptic atmosphere created by a super sandstorm.
The whole Middle East was covered with sand and dust all afternoon, with no sun in sight, no blue sky and no white clouds. Black clouds are crushing the city, and the end of the world is coming!
Take advantage of the fire to rob, and disasters are a good time for some people to make money! The masks produced by me in China are out of stock again. After the order was placed, it was shipped by air in a short time. Workers in factories are also working day and night so that people in the Middle East can wear masks and have fresh air to breathe. If it weren't for the fact that China regards the countries of the Middle East as international friends, they would not have been allowed to drink the northwest wind and sand dust. In addition to masks, various air purification equipment, air purifiers, and so on produced by our Huaxia also have a tendency to be out of stock.
The Dubai Meteorological Department has classified the strong sand as the highest level of "orange warning", and has repeatedly instructed Dubai people and foreign tourists to stay indoors, and it is best to park vehicles in a sheltered place when the sand wall hits.
The strong sandstorm that occurs once in 50 years is reflected in two aspects, one is strong winds, and the other is that it lasts for a long time, at least one to two days.
As night fell, the first wave of hundreds of kilometers swept across the city of Dubai. Standing on the top of the Burj Khalifa, you can clearly see the sand wall in front of you, which is really comparable to the tsunami. Half of Dubai's sky is still bright, and the half of the sand and dust hit, I will be incompatible, and the overwhelming sand and dust is more than the mushroom cloud formed by the explosion of the nuclear bomb. When the sand wall enveloped the entire city of Dubai, the world was completely darkened.
At this moment, the eyes of the world are focused on Dubai. The nuclear bomb explosion at the Air Base in Area 51 of the United States dominated the headlines of major news sections for several hours, and was soon squeezed down by a sandstorm in the Middle East.
The Burj Khalifa is shaking non-stop, especially from high places, which can be clearly felt. Many people are worried that the 800-meter-old building will be blown down by a sandstorm. Practice has proved that the Burj Khalifa has not collapsed and is still standing as it was in the extreme climate of level 9 winds accompanied by sand and dust.
The sand wall comes and goes as fast as it goes, leaving hundreds or thousands of tons of yellow sand in Dubai City, but the wind shows no sign of abating. While the sand wall was still moving forward through Dubai City, four Hummers set off from a hidden place, following in the footsteps of the sand wall. Due to the cover of strong sand and dust, and it was already dark, no one noticed the presence of the four Humvees at all.
Twenty wolf pack mercenaries, four vehicles, five people on each vehicle. In order to cope with the strong sand and dust, the mercenaries put on dust masks and night vision devices stuck in their eyes. You don't need a mask in the car, but you can always use it when you get out of the car to fight! Otherwise, the wind and sand blow into the eyes, how can you aim?
There is only one road on the ground leading to the Desert Cage Prison, and there are two outposts, each with ten soldiers on duty, armed only with ordinary firearms.
It is not difficult for twenty mercenaries to kill ten ordinary soldiers, the key is to kill them without knowing the ghost, and never let them leak the information that someone has robbed the prison. Once the Desert Cage Prison gets the news, it will definitely be on guard, and the mercenaries will only be able to send them to their deaths.
There are hardly many cars to be seen on the road, and even less so outside Dubai City. The wolves can drive with peace of mind without fear of being discovered. And the bulletproof Humvee chariot is old and bulky, and no matter how strong the wind is, don't think about overturning it.
At this moment, in the desert of Dubai, an eight-meter-wide road stretches straight forward, leading to a place that many people in the outside world know but few people have visited, the desert cage prison. Due to the sandstorms, the road surface was covered with a thick layer of fine sand, and some sections of the road were even covered with advancing sand dunes. The sky was very dark, the yellow sand was pervasive, and the high-pressure sodium lamps on both sides of the road were still emitting bright light, but this bright light really couldn't illuminate much of a place, just like a firefly in the dark night, and its existence could be vaguely seen.
Three Humvees were struggling to drive one after the other, and the mercenaries were on guard. The three cars were at a distance of five meters from each other, connected by radio.
Captain Statham sat in the first car with an electronic navigation map in his hand.
Five miles further on, the vehicle will see two reinforced concrete buildings. The building is not very big, it is as big as the three-room-wide two-story small western-style building that we commonly see in China, but it is only stronger, and the windows are smaller. The two buildings are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the road, and at first glance, it looks a bit like the entrance to hell.
In addition to the ordinary lifting swing arm pole, the sentry also pulled up a barbed wire fence to isolate the barricade when the sandstorm came, and there was also an armored car horizontally, with desert coating, the United States standard, domineering and mighty.
The outside world has the impression that Islamists are very strong and kill people without blinking, but this is not necessarily the case. Many of us in China have a lot of impressions of the Islamists centered on al-Qaeda and the rotten terrorists. Islamis are still very peace-loving, especially the small Emirate of Dubai, where they live a drunken life. In a word, there is wine today and drunk today, and tomorrow is sad and the day after tomorrow is sad.
The soldier in the sentry was at ease, drinking and eating meat and bragging about women at the moment, and he didn't know that the danger was imminent. In fact, people are usually not like this, they are still very responsible, but tonight's ghost weather does not need to be on duty at all! So it's rare for everyone.
In order to prevent the wind and sand from blowing into the house, all the doors and windows of the sentry tower were tightly closed. Inside and outside the house, there are two worlds.
