Chapter 121: Xu Ziling's Judgment
The J-10 piloted by the bird soared into the sky, kept climbing, and entered the cruise after a while, Xu Ziling said hello to him casually, and looked at his information carefully behind without saying a word.
Time was pressing, and Xu Ziling didn't bother to familiarize himself with how to use this new tactical watch, so he directly asked the lion to project the relevant information of this mission directly into his mind. What he had seen in Yang Haisheng before was not the most detailed information, so in order to be more familiar with the situation, he had to carefully read this more detailed information again.
The information I saw from Yang Haisheng must have been passed on to Yang Haisheng by Cheng Gang in a hurry. Xu Ziling only knew that they went to a certain country in West Asia, but he didn't know the specific name. After reading the sword, Xu Ziling realized that they were going to Afghanistan, a country after many years of war.
They operated in the mountains hundreds of kilometres west of Ghazni, in the eastern province of Afghanistan. It was here that he was ambushed after completing his mission. According to the accounts of the retreating team members, at that time, Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng were able to let them retreat, and the two of them dragged each other to the west, and let a few of them retreat from the south, and finally crossed the border to Pakistan.
But not long after they crossed the border, they lost contact with Yang Kaiming and them. So now we can only judge to find the traces of the two of them.
Xu Ziling didn't know much about this country before, and he didn't know where Ghazni Province was in the Ludao data, so he had to find a map to compare with the data to see if he could find something.
Xu Ziling looked at the map and realized that the entire territory of Afghanistan was not very broad, and it was not much larger than the provinces in the central part of the Celestial Empire. And most of the area is on the plateau, especially to the west of Ghazni province, where a large area of land is more than 2,000 meters above sea level and mountainous areas.
It is not a large territory, but it is adjacent to many countries. It is bordered by Pakistan to the south, Iran to the west, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan to the north, and the Celestial Empire to the east. According to what Yang Kaiming said before, they were going west, but soon after that, they took the initiative to cut off contact, saying that they found that the other party had an electronic signal tracking instrument. There are two possibilities here, first: they did go west. Second: going west is false. Because they already knew that the other party had such a device, maybe the other party could also listen to their calls, after all, the communication system of individual soldiers could not guarantee that it would not be cracked, so the two of them deliberately said that they were going west to confuse each other. In fact, shortly after they went west, they changed direction and went somewhere else.
In which direction will they go? Xu Ziling took the map and looked at it over and over again, calculating the possibilities of each direction with the lion.
To the west to Iran? It's possible. Because Iran and the Celestial Empire have always been friends. But since Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng knew that the other party might be eavesdropping on their communications, they should not say it so bluntly, and as far west as Iran, they went out of the mountains and to the plains, which was not conducive to their whereabouts. Thinking of this, Xu Ziling denied the possibility of going west to Iran.
North? Turkmenistan in the northwest and Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the north all pass through plains. Then the likelihood of such a is also low.
It is even more impossible in the south, the other team members are retreating from the south, the people on the other side must know the road, a mistake will not be made twice, Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng must know that the other party is impossible to let them run out of the south, if they really choose the south, it is no different from looking for death. So definitely not going to choose the South.
Since one of the three directions of the west, north, and south will not be, and the two are unlikely, then only the last possibility remains: kill the horse pistol, make a detour to the north, and then turn east to the Celestial Empire.
Xu Ziling noticed that although the eastward retreat from Ghazni Province was the longest of the four directions, it was also the safest. Because there is only this line, the whole is a plateau landform, although there are many cities, but the population of this country is not dense, it is very simple to bypass the city and avoid people's eyes.
Besides, on this route, even if the distance is too far, they can use the terrain of the mountains to waste time with mercenaries. Then you'll have time to find them.
Xu Ziling, with his understanding of the two of them, felt that the two of them were likely to choose this route. He thought of the support team again, and the support team only arrived more than a day earlier than him, if Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng had deliberately confusing the mercenaries to the west at that time, then they should still be on the way west at this time to investigate. So he asked the lion to look up the latest information on the support team, and as expected, they were still heading west, and reported that their tracks were showing signs of going north.
That's true! It doesn't seem to have been wrong. Xu Ziling said excitedly in his heart.
It has been more than 50 hours since the incident, and they should not be able to get a car in the mountains, so they can only walk. Xu Ziling looked at the map carefully and calculated. The last sight was set on the area west of Ghazni, more than 100 kilometers from the Mount Timran mountain range and Highway 77, where the incident occurred.
If that's right, Yang Kaiming and Li Cheng must be in this area now.
Since the team in the west had gradually turned, Xu Ziling immediately decided that he would go directly to this area. So he asked the bird to contact him and report his idea.
"Lion, did you decide you would go alone?"
When Cheng Gang learned that Xu Ziling went to this area alone, although he said that what he said was very reasonable, he still didn't want him to act alone.
"Yes, One. I've decided. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange for you to send you there."
Since Xu Ziling had already decided, Cheng Gang was not persuading him, and agreed to his action plan, so he interrupted the call and contacted the staff to arrange for him.
The location was determined, how to go, and naturally Cheng Gang went to arrange. Xu Ziling's nervous mood along the way was only a little relaxed at this time. Thinking that he didn't know where the plane would land, he asked the bird, "Birdie, where are we going to land?" ”
Listening to Xu Ziling's question, Xiao Bird immediately replied: "The place where we landed is a military airfield in Peshawar. Well...... There are still about thirty minutes to go. ”
Peshawar? Xu Ziling asked the lion to find Peshawar on the map, and at a glance, he realized that Langdao was the closest city to Afghanistan in the north of Pakistan.
