Chapter 21: Fishing in Troubled Waters
readx;
When the agent came to the ground, the National Guard's Stryker armored vehicle was burning. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Two minutes earlier, the armored vehicle had been hit by an AT-4 rocket, followed by another rocket that hit a nearby guard post.
Immediately after the attack, the National Guard launched a counterattack.
In order to prevent the attackers from entering the computing center, a soldier who did not want to die rushed out in a "Humvee" jeep, only to be beaten into a sieve by a rain of bullets.
The jeep parked at the gate became an obstacle and managed to block the attackers.
After seeing the agents in the computing center come out, Liu Wei whistled at the Mobei wolf guarding the other end of the gate. The two gave up the firing position to Situ Wenhui's men, withdrew from the battle at a fast speed, and went to intercept the FBI convoy according to the predetermined plan.
Although there were not many attackers, they occupied an advantageous position.
In order to prevent Beard from escaping from the ground, Liu Wei deployed three snipers on top of nearby buildings to shoot agents and soldiers who were trying to break out.
FBI agents are very passive, and even the weapons in their hands are not as good as the attackers.
The agents on escort duty were armed only with pistols and submachine guns, and the submachine guns were placed on the vehicles. Blocked by fire, agents were unable to get close to the jeep where the guns were stored. Some agents had no choice but to pick up the rifles from the soldiers' bodies and deal with the attackers hiding outside.
Even so, the agents still did not have any advantage.
The attackers had automatic rifles and machine guns, as well as gun-mounted grenade launchers. The battle lasted less than five minutes before several agents hiding behind cover were killed by grenades.
As a last resort, the agents retreated to the building, hiding behind windows and doors and firing at the attackers.
Thankfully, the building was very sturdy, with a faΓ§ade made of reinforced concrete, and most of the attackers used small-caliber carbines and light machine guns, which could not penetrate the walls.
At this time, the battle in the other two directions began.
When the agents on the periphery received the news of the attack on the computing center, they immediately gathered dozens of police officers and rushed to the computing center.
Unfortunately, soon after the convoy set off, they became the target of an ambush.
This time, Liu Wei and Mobei Wolf did not ask for help.
It's not that the two of them feel good about themselves, but that Situ Wenhui only has more than a dozen subordinates.
The tactics adopted by the two men were almost identical, that is, first blowing up the police car at the front of the convoy, and then destroying the police car at the back of the convoy with light machine guns, and launching a surprise attack from the rear of the convoy. In addition to using light machine guns, the two detonated pre-planted time bombs one by one.
Because the two men were very fast and often changed firing positions, the agents and police officers who were attacked thought that there were many enemies, not just one.
At this time, air support is also coming.
As Situ Wenhui expected, it was an AS550 small helicopter. In addition to the two pilots, there were four heavily armed agents on board the helicopter.
Their mission is not to take part in the battle, but to pick up Professor Beard.
Having seen the computing center, the helicopter began to slow down and, to the right, bypassed the area of engagement. The AS550 is not a gunship, not even a military helicopter. If you go into the sky above the combat area, not to mention anti-aircraft missiles, an AK rifle can knock it down.
It is a pity that this helicopter encountered not AK rifles, but anti-aircraft missiles.
A genuine "Stinger" individual anti-aircraft missile.
It was none other than Situ Wenhui who launched the missile.
Because she really can't send manpower, she Yu Dianbin is responsible for dealing with helicopters. According to the habit of men on the left and women on the right, Situ Wenhui was ambushed on the right side of the computing center, and Dian Bin was ambushed on the left side.
The anti-aircraft missile was launched almost from directly under the helicopter, and when the pilot saw it, it was too late to evade it.
For this small helicopter, which does not have any electronic countermeasures equipment, even if the pilot sees the anti-aircraft missile in advance, the result will not be much better.
The missile exploded under the root of the helicopter's tail boom, shrapnel swept across the cabin, and damaged the engine.
Before it was finished, the pilot desperately pulled up the longitudinal pole, and the helicopter flew over the roof of the computing center and landed on the street on the left.
Before landing, the six FBI agents on board the helicopter were all dead.
The helicopter was shot down, and the agents in the computing center were in complete despair.
The attackers were very powerful, taking into account all the circumstances, otherwise it would not have been possible to have anti-aircraft missiles.
The Agent Leader returns to the basement at this point, and he has a mission to complete: kill Professor Beard after the assailants rush in.
This is a special mission that only he knows and can perform.
The Future Soldier program has a total of twelve subsystems, each with one principal and two leaders, each with one such agent next to each other. While they were responsible for the 24-hour protection of the target, they all received special orders from the Minister of Defense himself.
In fact, they are all high-ranking agents sent to the FBI by the Department of Defense.
They don't know why, just when.
"Professor Beard, we need to get out of here."
"Where are you taking me?"
"Go to a safer place."
Beard was a little surprised, but then he understood. "No, I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere."
"Professor!" The Agent Captain quickly pulled out his pistol and put the muzzle of the gun on Beard's forehead, "You must come with me, or we'll solve the problem here." β
Beard is not stupid, when he participated in the "Future Soldier" project, there was an additional clause in the secret agreement signed with the Ministry of Defense, requiring him to keep it secret no matter when, no matter what the situation, no matter what the outcome, if he couldn't do it, Party A would carry it out on his behalf.
What the agent captain did at this time was to "execute it on his behalf".
Only then did the two agents who remained react.
They were FBI agents, not assigned by the Department of Defense, so they didn't know about the order.
"Don't move, put your head in your hands." The Agent Captain uses Beard as a shield and points his guns at the two agents. "I'm doing what I have to do, don't stop me."
"It's useless for you to kill him, there is still a lot of data in the computing center that has not been destroyed."
"So you have to hurry."
The two agents didn't move, and the captain ignored them, tugging at Beard by the collar and dragging him to another room.
At this moment, the communicator on the Secret Service Captain's body rang.
He hesitated, let go of Beard, and picked up the communicator.
Hearing that a second helicopter was approaching and would arrive in five minutes, the Agent Captain breathed a sigh of relief, as did Beard, and the two agents breathed a sigh of relief.
"Professor, you have to understand what I'm doing. After sending you back, I'll submit my resignation, and another agent will take care of your safety. β
"Will it make a difference?" Beard smiled wryly.
"If you can't see me, maybe it will give you some peace of mind." The Agent Captain put away his pistol and said to the two agents, "Take the professor to the roof, the helicopter will arrive immediately." β
"What about you?"
"I'll have to buy you time."
Once on the ground, the Agent Captain organized the rest of the personnel and prepared the agents and soldiers who could still fight to launch a counterattack with him.
This is not to die, but to land the helicopter that came to meet it safely.
The attackers shot down the helicopter that had come to pick up Beard, and it must have been coming towards Beard. If the line of defense is not extended and the attackers are driven away from the vicinity of the computing center, the second helicopter will also suffer. If the helicopter were to be shot down again, the Secret Service Captain would have no choice.
The captain of the agent is not afraid of death, and neither are the other agents.
To do this, you have to be prepared to die at any time.
After asking the officers and soldiers of the National Guard who remained in the computing center to provide fire cover, the captain of the special agent rushed out first, and the four agents who could still fight immediately followed.
The attackers' fire was intense, and the snipers who were ambushed on nearby rooftops took out two agents.
A 7.62mm bullet flew past the head of the Secret Service, almost making him see God.
After rushing behind the courtyard wall, the Agent Captain stretched out the M4 carbine and swept it around. The two agents who followed followed did the same, firing aimlessly.
Affected by this, the attackers, who were hiding across the street, immediately retreated.
At this time, the helicopter also flew over.
Beard had already made his way to the roof of the building, protected by two agents, and hid behind the emergency passage.
Seeing the helicopter approaching, an agent ran out and guided the helicopter to land. It wasn't until the helicopter landed that another agent ran out by Beard's arm.
Unbeknownst to the trio, the helicopter was accompanied by an agent wearing sunglasses who looked a bit like a Mexican, except for the two pilots. Mexican-American agents are not uncommon in California because of its proximity to Mexico and the predominantly Mexican American population.
Both agents believe that they were met by agents from the California branch, not agents who remained in Oakland.
As soon as the three men came up, the helicopter pulled up and flew south.
At this time, the eastern sky has already brightened, and the morning sun is about to rise.
"Fly north to Auckland." An agent alerted the pilot in front.
"You two, it's time for you to get off the plane." The pilot on the right turned and pointed the muffler-mounted pistol at the agent.
The "Mexico", which remained in the rear cabin, had also drawn its pistol and resisted the other agent.
"You...... You ......"
The co-pilot smiled and pulled the trigger. Half a second later, "Mexico" also pulled the trigger.
"You come and drive, keep flying south, don't turn."
The co-pilot took off his helmet and slipped into the cabin behind him. It's none other than Zhou Yulong.
"Professor, you've made us so hard."
"You ......" Seeing the two agents killed, Beard was already stupid.
"It's your old friend and your rival who asked us to come to you. Don't worry, I won't hurt you and will help you complete a great scientific study. β
Beard was stunned for a moment, but then realized that he had only one rival in love.
