Chapter 44 (II) Going Behind the "Enemy".
Outside the chapel, the military and police, under the cover of armored vehicles and tanks, advanced like a bamboo, although the number of the Free Army was superficially superior, but under the cover of five helicopter gunships, the military in a very short period of time occupied the high place, armed with rocket launchers and other heavy weapons all annihilated, and then covered the ground troops to advance rapidly, at the same time the infantry on the periphery also began to close the encirclement, while shouting with loudspeakers to order the rest of the people to surrender, on the other hand to shoot and kill the militia who were still resisting with weapons.
There is no doubt that these five "journalists" were completely the first wave of attacks, and as soon as there were gunshots in the church, it would represent the beginning of the clearance operation - it seems that the military absolutely believed in the strength of those five guys who disguised themselves as journalists.
"Camden illegal forces, you have been surrounded, please immediately lay down your weapons, otherwise you will be treated as terrorists and killed on the spot." The helicopter attacked while constantly playing the recording, but the sound of gunfire completely silenced the recording.
On the streets, most of the militiamen who were crushed by the current situation put down their weapons, lay on the ground with their heads in their hands, and then were tied by the special police who came after them and threw them into a special prisoner car.
"! It was nothing short of a massacre! Keane shook his head.
"It seems that the military doesn't want anyone to use this incident to make a fuss, and it doesn't plan to leave any traces." Stan clenched his gun. Although there were some heinous criminals in the Free Army of Camden, most of the members were once only poor people.
Hawke pressed the last table against the door, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "They will be able to rush to the church in less than ten minutes at most, and we must leave immediately...... Now I understand why they are going to send the Rubik's Cube troops to kill those reporters, they have already planned everything and made measures to cover it up. β
"I thought you, the former CIA director, were already surprised by this kind of extermination." Stan turns to leave, calling Tom, who was on the upper floor of the church, to get out of the way from being attacked by a helicopter.
Hawke and the three Stan rushed into the back room, and found that they had just finished bandaging the injured reporter, and at the same time, Tang Shuxing also peeked out of the back door and said, "It's all alleys in the back. Evacuation was easy. The only thing to worry about is the helicopter in the sky. β
"Got the stuff?" Hawke stepped forward and asked.
Tang Shuxing nodded: "It's here, let's go!" β
"You go first, we need to get their attention." Stan, Keane, and Tom had planted explosives around the area before leaving the back door of the chapel with the others. After entering the "Spider Alley" in the rear. Stan activates the explosives. The chapel collapsed in the explosion, sending up a dozen meters of smoke and forcing away the helicopter that had just approached the church.
The crowd was plastered under the wall on the side of the alley. Hiding in the shadows, Hawke looked up at the helicopter in the sky and said, "We have to act separately, there are too many people and it is easy to be discovered." Saying that, Hawke told Tang Shuxing a long list of coded numbers, "This is an old-fashioned radio frequency code, you can contact me with this, you can call me in plain language, I will respond with a basic numeric password, the reference of the password is dimension. Sue. Naipaul's 2010 novel The Mask of Africa. β
Tang Shuxing nodded: "Understood, take care!" β
"Take care!" Hawke patted Tang Shuxing on the shoulder, and left with Stan and the others, and when they left, everyone just nodded to each other to take care.
After Hawke and the others left, the three of them quickly retreated in another direction under the leadership of Gu Huaiyi, and at the same time, the sweeping force composed of peripheral soldiers was also conducting a carpet search, not letting go of every building along the way, as long as it was a place where people could hide, the soldiers searched it in detail.
"We can't break in or find out, listen to the movements around us, they are hundreds of times more numerous than us." Gu Huaiyi leaned to the side of the wall and listened, "We can only ......"
Before Gu Huaiyi's words were finished, he saw the laser light spots that appeared on Tang Shuxing and Ji Kefeng, and then looked down to see that there was also on his chestβthey had already broken into the encirclement.
"Damn it!" Tang Shuxing looked left and right, but did not find anyone, just as he put down his weapon and slowly raised his hand, from the surrounding bushes and tree tops, as well as from the building came out of the 10 faint figures, these people were all dressed in optical camouflage uniforms, weapons were equipped with silencers, under the order of the commander of the leader, surrounded them.
"Master Ji, didn't you notice?" Gu Huaiyi asked in a low voice.
"My perception has not fully recovered, and after wearing this bracelet, the bracelet has focused my attention on the red phoenix feather!" Ji Kefeng gritted his teeth and said, he didn't dare to touch the gun, and making small movements in front of this group of soldiers was undoubtedly looking for death.
"Tang Shu Punishment? Ji Kefeng? Gu Huaiyi? The officer led by the 10 soldiers came forward and asked in a low voice, still speaking not too standard Chinese, with a snapping tongue.
"Huh!?" Tang Shuxing was stunned for a moment, and his intuition told him that this team of centaurs did not seem to be their enemy.
The officer waved his hand, and the three soldiers stepped forward, scanning their retinas as they plucked their hair and threw it into the instrument for testing, and soon the soldiers turned back to confirm it.
"Throw away your weapons and come with us! Fast! After the officer finished speaking, he asked the soldier to take out three silencer pistols, handed them to the three Tang Shuxing, distributed five spare magazines to each person, and took out a folded optical camouflage cloak and covered the three people.
"Follow me, don't make any noise, the perimeter of the US military is only a conventional force, and the special forces are on a regional mission, as long as we rush to the predetermined location in the suburbs, there will be planes to pick up." The officer said word for word, and although the pronunciation was relatively standard, it still had a strong Russian flavor.
"Russia?" Gu Huaiyi looked at the officer and asked.
The officer didn't say anything, just led them slowly out towards the periphery.
With the help of this well-trained special forces, they crossed the search circle without danger and made their way to the outskirts of Camden, and when it was completely dark, they quickened their pace and trotted towards their intended positions, but from time to time they also hid themselves to avoid the American helicopters searching at low altitudes.
In the orchard on the outskirts, the officer whispered to everyone to stop, and after waiting for about ten minutes, two armored vehicles stopped on the side of the road, and then two soldiers in US Army uniforms walked down from the armored vehicles.
The two soldiers looked around, first smoking and peeing, and after making sure that there were no special circumstances around, they carried the two boxes into the orchard and turned back into the armored car.
"Change your clothes!" The officer approached the box and opened it, and it contained all U.S. military uniforms.
The soldiers were divided into two groups, one group began to tear off the optical coating cloth from the surface of the weapon, and the other group began to sort out the uniforms and basic equipment in the boxes, and then packed the optical camouflage suits into the boxes one by one and changed their clothes.
When he changed his clothes, Tang Shuxing was even more puzzled, he didn't know where this group of people came from, and they were not treated as prisoners, could it be said that they were really Russian soldiers? If it is a soldier of the Russian special forces, then the only possibility is that Zhan Tianya asked for help from an "old friend", but this is too dangerous, maybe some kind of private agreement has been reached?
After the change of clothes, the officer led the soldiers and them out of the orchard, divided into two groups and entered the armored car, and as soon as they entered, the two helicopters flew at a low altitude, then turned around and looked around before leaving quickly.
"Listen, our current identity is a soldier of Company D, 2nd Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Linus, he has blonde hair, is 187 cm tall, has a scar on the right side of his throat, is from Germany, and is a third-generation American...... "The officer sat in an armored car and introduced some necessary information to Tang Shuxing and others, and in case of trouble, he could get out with certain words.
After the introduction, the officer put on a steel helmet and patted it: "Memorize it in your mind, don't say even a word wrong, of course, when no one asks you, keep your face expressionless when performing the task, don't say a word, even gasp lightly, the 17th Cavalry Regiment has a relatively high proportion of Chinese, so don't worry." β
"Who the hell are you?" Tang Shuxing also put on a steel helmet and asked in a low voice, holding the M16A1 assault rifle in his hand.
"Friends." The officer replied in a low voice, "A friend you can trust." β
Tang Shuxing nodded silently, knowing that he couldn't ask anything more, he had to look at Gu Huaiyi on the right and Ji Kefeng on the opposite side, and signaled that everyone took turns to sleep for a while on the way forward and try to recover some energy.
Nearly two hours later, the armored vehicle entered the avenue and joined a advancing armored company, and then followed the company for several more hours until it finally came to the vicinity of McGuire Air Force Base, and then slowed down and broke away from the group, and the soldier who deliberately sat on top of the armored vehicle waved goodbye to the other vehicles.
The armored car drove straight to the gate of the air base, and the officers and soldiers driving the car got out of the car and handed over the documents in their hands to the soldiers guarding the door, and the soldiers immediately called on for verification, and it took about ten minutes before the people in the car were put into the base.
"Oh my god, how did they do that?" Tang Shuxing sighed, "It's completely a wartime alert now, not usual, we actually came in with a swagger like this?" β
"Shhhhhh
The armored vehicle entered a sealed hangar in the base as instructed by one of the leading Humvee attack vehicles, and then the hangar door was slammed shut, the armored car door was opened, and the soldiers rushed out.
There was only a faint light source in the hangar, and it was pitch black all around, except for the officer, the other soldiers trotted away, and soon disappeared into the darkness, and the three Tang Shuxing who stayed there looked around, and then heard slow footsteps coming from the opposite side - someone came over, and it was alone.
