Chapter 159: Operation to Save the Old Man
An Feng was silent for a while, and smiled coldly on the phone: "I only make money that is not hot, and I only do things that are in line with the remuneration." ”
The old man was silent for a moment and said, "Well, before I take my last breath, I will definitely call you and say goodbye to you." ”
The old man hung up the phone, An Feng's bedroom door quietly opened a small crack, and the two children showed expectant eyes, they couldn't understand An Feng's English, but they felt something from An Feng's demeanor, they had a hunch that this call was grandpa's call for help, they didn't say anything to beg, only looked at An Feng pitifully with cute and weak eyes.
In fact, An Feng's decisive refusal was not his true intention, and there was a contest of wills between him and the old man. The old man wanted to arouse An Feng's greed, and then manipulate An Feng to act according to his baton. If An Feng did what the other party wanted, then the old man's promise might be a picture cake.
Drawing a cake and letting people shed their blood for him is a trick that the old man and his party are used to playing, and they are familiar with it. But if the person they want to coax is not deceived, then he may consider cashing in the pie.
At this moment, An Feng put on a look of no greed, he showed his iron will: the things he decided would never be affected by foreign objects, even if the foreign objects were worth tens of billions, or even tens of billions. He wants to let the old man struggle on the line of life and death, he wants the old man to taste the smell of death all the time, he wants the old man to know that he is an unwavering person - unless the old man keeps his promise, he can do it without saving him.
This is the most difficult hour, time passes slowly little by little, An Feng helplessly ignored the child's expectant eyes, he held the phone in his hand, and walked around the room with his hands behind his back...... Forty minutes later, Cui San called, and he said briefly: "The goods have been received and the payment has been completed." ”
An Feng thought for a while and said an address: "Immediately change your clothes, change into the mercenary costume you just bought, and rush to the location I said to pick up an old man...... Argyle knows the old man, and if the old man is still alive when you arrive, don't rush to do anything and let Argyle contact me first. ”
Cui San carried out the order without hesitation, and An Feng still heard his order on the phone. Waiting for An Feng to hang up the phone, he thought about it for a while, and called Dill again: "Hey, I need to send someone away, do you have a way to get the helicopter in and out of Baghdad?" ”
"This ...... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, but I can think of a way to fake my documents and pretend to be a big person...... How's the idea of a Maryland congressman coming to visit their boys? ”
"Whatever you do, I need to send off an old Iraqi man, and as soon as they get on your ship, they will immediately detain him and not release him without my orders."
"Okay, I need two hours."
I hung up the phone and spent five or six minutes coaxing the two children to bed. An Feng returned to his bedroom, and after informing Cui San to turn on the identification sign of friend or foe, he used his computer to connect to the military satellite over Baghdad, and through satellite images, he monitored the advance of these people from space towards the intended target.
Mr. Cui disguised himself as a regular food delivery convoy with a Target logo painted on the door. In front of the "food container truck" was placed a mine-protected infantry vehicle, and behind it was another mine-protected infantry vehicle. The entire convoy was moving slowly.
Judging from the appearance, the two anti-mine infantry vehicles, one in front and one in the rear, are completely equipped with the standard equipment of the US military. Infantry vehicles escorting food trucks, which are common on the streets of Baghdad, are often difficult to attribute, and they may belong to the United States National Guard, but they may belong to mercenaries.
There is no flag on the flagpole on the body of the infantry vehicle, and the round head at the top of the flagpole is actually a surveillance camera that rotates as the infantry vehicle moves, carefully scanning the roadside - they have entered the orange zone, which is an extremely dangerous area that national patrols generally do not go to.
Iraqi civilians who were walking on the road suddenly saw the convoy appear, and first habitually walked to the side of the road, stretched out their hands, and put their whole bodies against the wall to show their harmless state. As the convoy moved forward, the crisp sound of cold bullets hitting the armor could occasionally be heard, but the convoy remained unmoved, and continued to move slowly and at a constant pace - perhaps a drunken former Republican Guard soldier who saw a foreign convoy appear from the window, couldn't help but pull his gun from under his pillow and shoot casually to vent his anger. They shoot for the purpose of killing people by no means, but simply because they are idle and bored.
If this kind of cold gun is encountered by a regular patrol convoy, they often have to raid the other party's downstairs and refuse to give up to deal with the cold gunner, but this convoy does not care about continuing to move forward - the most terrible thing to encounter such a patrol convoy is the most terrible, because they often mark the cold gun area, and then summon an aerial unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and the unmanned reconnaissance machine will repeatedly scan this area, once the figure with the gun is seen in the window, and then a precision-guided cruise missile will be launched, blowing up the floor where the gunman is located.
This is post-war Baghdad.
It's an ant-to-elephant battle, and the ants are vainly waving their little teeth in an attempt to provoke the elephant. They want the elephant to take care of the environment and tolerate the innocent around him. They "morally kidnapped" the people around their homes, threatening the elephants with the lives of their neighbors not to fight back.
It's a chaotic country. At this time, innocent injuries often occur, but fortunately each soldier carries tactical glasses, which record the entire battlefield behavior of the soldiers - including their evil deeds. Therefore, the soldiers had to be wary of wearing these glasses, knowing that if the evil deeds were revealed, they would be judged by a military court.
Thirty minutes later, the phone finally rang again, and the old man was panting and shouting on the phone: "Okay, I believe in you, I don't want to say goodbye now, so ...... What about your people? If they don't have twenty minutes, you can collect the body for me - remember, my life and death are tens of billions, tens of billions."
An Feng took a deep breath to relieve his nervousness, and he tried his best to keep his tone unhurried: "Don't hang up your phone, I'll lock your location through the satellite immediately." ”
The satellite on the computer showed that the old man was not far from Cui San's motorcade. He now hides on the third floor of an abandoned factory building that has been bombed by coalition forces and now has nothing but a massive concrete frame. The abandoned factory building is located in the northern suburbs at the junction of urban and rural areas, and the building faces the street, and a wide road separates the residential buildings from the factory. The road is of good quality, the smooth and straight pavement leads into the distance, and you can see three or four traffic lights in the distance from the street.
At the next traffic light intersection, the road surface looked a little dirty, with a few sandbags thrown on the concrete floor, and the burned tire wreckage was smoky and black...... At the time, Iraqis thought that after black smoke from burning tires, the U.S. military would not be able to see the ground and the bombing would not be accurate. Of course, they did not know that the bombs of the US military were aimed with electronic instruments, and the black smoke did not work on this.
Cui San's current direction of travel is almost parallel to the old man's neighborhood, and the two are separated by four streets. Four intersections turn around, and the vertical direction on the right is Cui San's convoy. In the area where the old man is located, the residential building opposite is the former military building. It is said that there are many former Iraqi soldiers and policemen living in it, and almost every family of these people has guns, rockets and other toys for children. As for landmines, anyone who doesn't have a few in the collection is embarrassed to go out and meet their neighbors.
An Feng kept zooming in on the satellite image, and from the satellite image, he could already see that near the old man's building, there was a group of people who were rapidly advancing towards the abandoned factory building. Occasionally, they would stand on the side of the road and yell at the houses on the side of the road, and immediately someone would run out of the residential building with long and short weapons and join the team.
As these people advance, the number of people on the other side seems to be increasing - this is the vast ocean of people's war.
An Feng immediately said to the old man on the phone: "There are spies around you, your enemies are coming, they didn't look around, about forty people, went directly to the place where you were hiding." At the previous crossing, their ranks split up, with four squads advancing along the alley...... If you don't move again, for a maximum of ten minutes, you'll be surrounded.
Oh, don't expect me to save you, now they are in a crowd, and as soon as my people appear, they will be like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the hornets everywhere will pounce on you and me...... Let's go, don't hang up, I'll do my best to support you. ”
The old man panted and handed the phone to his bodyguard, and ordered: "Us, listen to him."
An Feng then asked on the phone: "How many of you are there, how are the casualties?" ”
The other party replied: "In addition to our leader, there are five bodyguards, and now everyone is injured, and there are two seriously injured people." ”
"Leave the seriously injured behind and tell them: you will take care of their families. The others immediately moved to the next floor, quick, the first team is still three buildings away from you, five o'clock direction, five people, three hundred and ten meters. ”
The head of the bodyguard shouted a few times in Iraqi, and he was shouting dedication or something, dedication or something. Someone on the phone immediately responded enthusiastically, and then An Feng heard a dense gunfire from his mobile phone.
The communication continued on the phone: "Seven minutes, seven people, no, eight people, one with a bazooka, have you evacuated the building?" ”
The leader of the bodyguard also spoke quickly: "The phone is almost out of battery, we are running, we are going downstairs ......"
There was a boom on the phone, and after a while, the voice on the phone was much weaker: "I'm injured, we've reached the first floor." ”
At this time, the rumbling on the phone continued, and An Feng immediately comforted this person on the phone: "Hold on a little longer, my people have already heard your gunshots, as long as you rush through the intersection, they will come to answer you...... I'll immediately notify the nearby support, three minutes, please hold on for another three minutes. ”
An Feng quickly hacked into the headquarters of the peacekeeping force with a computer, and issued instructions to the nearby patrol team under the pretense of commanding the command, ordering them to enter the orange area for observation -- in fact, at this time, someone had already heard the sound of fierce gunfire and reported the situation to the peacekeeping force headquarters, and the helicopter gunships on air patrol had already turned around and converged from all directions. An Feng's orders were like a casual act of an officer on duty, but they were completely in line with tactical norms.
However, since then, the biggest problem facing An Feng is not to let the old man withdraw safely, but to make this withdrawal less noticeable.
Once the U.S. military captures the captives of either side of the fierce battle, this battle for party fees will be immediately revealed to the world, and when the time comes, the mercenaries all over the world will go crazy.
After mobilizing the patrol team, An Feng contacted Cui San directly: "The gunshots, did you hear them?" It's near you. Now, as you try to move in the direction of the gunfire, as far as you can, I need you to sneak the old man out before the American troops arrive. ”
Cui San immediately shouted, he called the names of several people in a row, and shouted: "You guys, take off your military uniforms and change into local Iraqi clothes, big man, you lead the way." ”
An Feng's fingers moved slightly, and he called up the old man's photo from the tactical glasses on the bridge of his nose, and sent this photo to the glasses of Cui San's team: "Don't go, big man, his goal is too obvious." ”
Cui San called the names of several people in a row, and then said in the intercom: "I'll take people there myself, but can you tell me why?" ”
"No, however, the prize is one million dollars for each person who participates in the operation, and if he dies, the prize is tripled." An Feng's words were spoken in Korean Chinese with a thick Seoul accent. This accent Cui San sounded particularly kind. He took a deep breath: "This job, Ye took it." Brother, look at me.
The satellite surveillance screen is still staring at Cui San, and in the captured images, Cui San has taken off the US military uniform he just got his hands on, and changed into a sloppy, Iraqi Republican Guard military uniform.
The group of people immediately touched the corner of the wall to the fierce battle, An Feng turned his head and switched the channel to the old man's bodyguard Us: "I'll send you the photo of the receiver immediately, did you hear it on the phone?" ”
The voice on the phone was even weaker: "We have rushed through the street, but there is no gunfire in the building, all the people I left behind are dead, and the pursuers are condescending and will find us immediately." ”
An Feng laughed cruelly: "They can't find you, as long as you cross the street, what happens behind you has nothing to do with you." ”
An Feng can control three unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the sky, each of which carries a precision-guided missile...... He hacked into the headquarters of the peacekeeping force again and controlled the three unmanned reconnaissance planes to start locking onto the target.
The three precision-guided bombs were not launched from the wings, An Feng directly let the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft carry the missiles and crash into the area where the building is located along with the fuselage...... At this moment, it can be regarded as the destruction of corpses.
By the time the first precision-guided missile exploded, three helicopter gunships had already arrived. A group of three helicopter gunships sent images of the ground directly to the command headquarters, which was clearer than satellite surveillance footage. At this time, the remaining armed personnel in the building heard the sound of the aircraft engine and were busy evacuating the scene. Immediately, the unmanned reconnaissance plane carrying missiles collided with it, and a ball of fire rose on the screen.
Immediately afterward, the abandoned factory building was hit by a second and third missile. The whole building began to crumble, and in the gunship communication channel, the pilots took a deep breath and exclaimed: "I saw the collapse of the building again." ”
This sentence immediately caused a slight confusion within the headquarters of the peacekeeping forces, and the three unmanned reconnaissance planes carrying weapons suddenly lost control and launched an attack on the fierce combat area on their own.
"Who rigged this attack?" In the headquarters, this question sounded in unison, and a voice roared: "Check, hurry up and check, are there any hackers?" ”
At this time, An Feng quietly logged out.
The chaos lasted for a minute, and the commander on duty at the headquarters issued a decisive order: "Now, it is not the time to pursue this, it is not easy to lure the snake out of the hole, all the rats in the gutter have scurried onto the road, notify all the troops, attack independently, and leave all the militants behind." ”
After a pause, the star officer added: "Try to catch as many live as possible, I want to know how this battle happened, it seems that there is internal strife between the two factions within them." ”
As soon as this order was given, the battle on the ground intensified.
Evil behavior is contagious, and when people's emotions are tyrannically controlled, it is easy to make some bottomless actions.
There was a large shootout on the ground, similar in scale to a small rebellion. Many armed men with guns were swaying through the streets, and the area was the most troublesome orange area for the patrol squad, and I don't know who secretly fired a shot in retaliation, and then, as soon as there was gunfire in a certain residential building, the whole building became the target of attack. In the heat of battle, the more sensible mercenaries try to limit their attacks to the unit where the shooting occurred, but more mercenaries begin to expand the area of the exchange of fire indefinitely.
The battle continued into the middle of the night, with bullets and flames ringing in the night sky, and the next day the sun rose again, and the coalition peacekeeping command announced in a high-profile manner that it had cleared the area of militants, and then turned the area from an orange zone to a "yellow zone" - meaning that there is some danger, but it is manageable.
Because after a night of fierce fighting, the residents of this area, who have guns at home, have secretly thrown away their guns; Those who dare to hold on to their guns have become dead bodies.
After the disarmament of the Orange District, the neighborhood was much calmer, and after three months, the neighborhood became a safe area to walk without guns.
No one knew that the fierce fighting side had actually quietly withdrawn from the battle, of course, the withdrawal of Cui San and others was still attacked by air helicopters, and the air forces chased them as Iraqi fighters, due to the loss of An Feng's cover, two of them were killed and three were slightly injured in the flight, but they finally escaped from the area.
At that time, Argyle led a group of British mercenaries posing as British mercenaries and stood on a parallel road not far from them, and this group of people rushed to the side of the car, changed their vests, and became legal mercenaries......
