As one of the few anti-American countries in Latin America, Venezuela is also the only OPEC member in the region. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it has abundant oil resources and has the world's largest reserves of heavy oil, accounting for more than 60% of the world's heavy oil, Venezuela is not rich and the infrastructure is not developed, and all the large and medium-sized cities are concentrated in the Orinoco River basin in the north, and the central region of the Guiana Plateau and the southern part of the Amazon River basin are very remote, and there is not even a decent road.

From Caracas to San Fernando in the Amazonas, Zhou Yulong and they walked for three days.

On the first day, the car traveled from Caracas to Kaikala in the Bolivarian state, and although it was only 600 kilometers, the buggy had to bump the road for nearly 20 hours to reach its destination. Except for Zhou Yulong and Plateau Miyuki, the others were about to be shaken apart.

In a hurry, after a four-hour rest, the team set off again and sailed upstream from the Kuchviro River, trekking over the Yavi Mountains, and then by boat along the Bentuari River to Yakulai. When they arrived at their destination, it was already late at night, and the climb over Mount Yavi made the special forces taste the bitterness.

After a night's rest, the group hiked across the Santa Barbara rapids before hopping back into a local boat and continuing down the Bentuari River to their destination in the evening: San Fernando, across the river from the Colombian town of Amanaveon.

Zhou Yulong: They did not enter this town with a population of less than five hundred.

There was no place to stay, because there were no hotels in the town, not even cottages for them to stay. It is inhabited by local Turks, who are said to be descendants of the Inca Empire.

Whether it is or not, it is difficult to say.

It took several hours of busy work for the exhausted special forces to set up their tents and raise a bonfire. Zhou Yulong personally went out and went to the jungle to catch a green water constrictor weighing more than 300 catties, and Mochizuki Xixiang became the chef, and took out the skills of making this cuisine, so that the hungry special forces had a full meal.

After three days of marching, the twenty special forces no longer dared to underestimate this little woman.

If nothing else, her stamina can make any special forces soldier sigh to himself.

After dinner, Zhou Yulong and Mochizuki Xixiang were not idle, and according to the area marked on the satellite photos, and then used the GPS positioning system to open up a temporary runway 400 meters long and 30 meters wide on a vacant land east of the camp for small propeller planes to take off and land.

When he came over, Zhou Yulong considered taking a plane. Although San Fernando does not have an airport, it is possible to skydive from an airplane. Thinking that the average person needs to carry 70 kilograms of weight, Zhou Yulong gave up this plan, after all, the most powerful special forces can only carry 50 kilograms of weight to parachute from a low altitude. In densely vegetated jungle areas, the weight had to be lowered to 35 kilograms to slow down the fall.

To facilitate the retreat, a runway had to be carved out.

Instead of using the original method, the two used herbicides to remove the low plants on the ground, and then roped some tall trees together and attached a movable pulley to pull the canopy apart if necessary, revealing the runway below. Only in this way can the US military's reconnaissance satellites and reconnaissance planes be avoided, but it is a bit troublesome when it needs to be used, and at least half of the personnel must be involved in manual labor.

It's already the middle of the night.

Zhou Yulong and Takahara Miyuki slept alternately for two hours, and in the case of deep sleep, two hours was enough for them to regain their energy.

At this time, Dian Bin was arranging logistics in Caracas.

Because Zhou Yulong and the others had enough equipment to carry, when they arrived at their destination, Dian Bin took a rented small plane and rushed over with the equipment to set up a forward command center. As for the second batch of special forces who arrived, except for two skilled companions who accompanied Dian Bin on the plane, the others rushed to their destination along Zhou Yulong's route.

There are not a lot of equipment, mainly long-range communication stations.

Since it is an advance base, it must have a strategic support capability that can provide battlefield information to the small units operating in Colombia.

Before dawn, Dian Bin rushed to the airport and boarded the Bombardier 415 amphibious aircraft that could carry 6,000 kilograms of cargo.

The aircraft was originally designed to be used for firefighting, and in the mid-nineties of the last century, Venezuela purchased four from Canada. Later, Venezuela turned against the United States and was unable to obtain spare parts for maintenance, so the four planes were sold to private companies.

Overall, the aircraft is in a good state of maintenance.

The biggest problem was that the only remaining one could not land on the water, because there were several holes in the bottom of the boat, which were only plugged with rubber sheets, and could not withstand the huge impact force when landing.

If they can land on the water, Zhou Yulong and Plateau Miyuki don't have to bother to open up a runway.

No way, this is the largest civilian aircraft that Dian Bin can find in Venezuela. Besides, it is impossible for those expensive business planes to take off and land on dirt runways hundreds of meters long.

As a firefighting aircraft, the Bombardier 415 also has a very prominent surname: it can reduce the flight speed to 120 kilometers per hour at low altitudes.

At this speed, highly trained special forces can enter the water directly, without the need for a parachute.

Of course, the maximum speed of such an aircraft is not much faster, only 325 kilometers per hour, and even 300 kilometers per hour cannot be reached in the case of heavy loads.

From Caracas to San Fernando, it was a full two-and-a-half-hour flight.

When the plane landed, it was very bumpy, making Dian Bin think that this old man would be shaken apart.

Fortunately, the two Venezuelan pilots were very skilled, and they were able to stop the plane less than 20 meters from the end of the runway without crashing into the towering tree in front of them.

"Quickly unload the stuff and take off in twenty minutes."

The special forces guarding the runway rushed up, unloaded the cargo in the cabin, and then made a concerted effort to make the plane, which had a wingspan of more than 28 meters, turn around on the runway with a maximum width of only 30 meters.

Let the plane take off immediately, mainly in another twenty-five minutes, and there will be a European Space Agency Earth Resources Remote Sensing Satellite passing over the area. Although the satellite does not belong to U.S. intelligence agencies, a large portion of Google's satellite maps come from the European Space Agency.

"You'll need to clear the trees over there." Dian Bin called Zhou Yulong over and said, "There is no big problem with a light load takeoff, but in the future, when taking off with a heavy load, you have to cut down a tree above 30 meters and open up a channel to allow the plane to have enough space to pull up." ”

"No problem, I'll deal with it as soon as possible."

"After receiving the news, Liu Wei ordered a second shipment from Harris, five tons of cocaine and ten tons of marijuana. From the information we have, Harris has only two tons of cocaine and five tons of marijuana at most. Liu Wei asked for a delivery within a week, so Harris would definitely contact the Colombian drug lord, maybe his people had already come. ”

"What are we going to do?"

"Get into Colombia as soon as possible and go to the area where those two drug lords are. I will try to gather as much information as possible and provide accurate information when the time comes. Seeing that the two special forces were fiddling with the satellite communication equipment, Dian Bin immediately stopped them. Don't move the antenna, I'll assemble it later. ”

"That's fine, let's leave tonight."

"Tomorrow morning."

Zhou Yulong was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Dian Bin meant.

"I've already told the pilots to give them $50,000 and send you into Colombia. Because the U.S. military has an air search radar in San Jose, it can only be delivered about 150 kilometers from your destination, and you have to jump into the Guaviare River at a low altitude and walk the rest of the way. Dian Bin took a sip of water, the rainforest was very hot, "The terrain over there is relatively flat, so you can reach your destination in one day." If all goes well, you should be able to get ahead of Harris's men. ”

"What should I do if I meet Harris?"

"Do what Liu Wei said, pretend to be other drug lords."

"What about drugs?"

"Take as much as you can, and burn everything you can't take. I'm going to get some rubber motorboats as soon as possible, so that you can return to Venezuela from the Guaviare River, and I'll pick you up here. ”

"Okay, when we get in, you can arrange the retreat route."

"Let's get ready, I've got all the equipment. By the way, I also got an M200 sniper rifle for you. ”

Zhou Yulong was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Lao Dian, your ability is not small, you can even get such a rare gun." ”

"Two hundred thousand dollars, man."

"So expensive?"

The gun belonged to a Canadian special forces soldier who was on a mission in the southern border region of Afghanistan when his unit was surrounded by Taliban militants, and if it hadn't been for the timely arrival of Pakistani troops, they would have been killed. Then he gave the gun to the Pakistani commander who rescued them, and now the commander is in Venezuela, and I happened to meet him. When I heard that his son was going to college, he wanted to get some tuition money to get his son into a better university, so I bought it for $200,000, along with all the aiming equipment. It's just that there are a little less bullets, only fifty rounds, so you have to save a little bit. I'd like to help you get some ammunition in the future. ”

"That's good, there are no bullets, and even the best gun is a burning stick."

"Hurry up and prepare, don't delay the time."

At this time, the plane took off. Although the pilot removed the spare fuel tank in the cabin in order to reduce weight, the take-off was still very dangerous, and the belly of the plane almost grazed the treetops. I'm afraid that the holes at the bottom of the fuselage were poked out by tree branches just when they took off.

When Zhou Yulong went to prepare for departure, Dian Bin went to set up the communication equipment.

According to Zhou Yulong's orders, Gao Yuan Meixue led a group of special forces to cut down the big tree at the east end of the runway. There is no shortage of trees in the rainforest, and cutting some will not be too conspicuous.

After dark, the little plane flew back again.

After unloading the fuel for return to Caracas, the Bombardier 415 took to the air again with 22 people, including Zhou Yulong and Miyuki Takahara, as well as a small pilot. It circled over the camp for a half and turned to fly westward, and five minutes later it was in Colombia.
