9-3 Trading under the Hinduku Mountains
Sekino leaned against the door, his AK74U short assault rifle hidden under his coat, his face covered with an Arabic scarf, and he seemed to stare nonchalantly at the crowd coming and going.
It is an Afghan bazaar known as a "bazaar", where people of different nationalities and languages come together to talk noisily, exchange supplies and information, and the smell of roast lamb is mixed with the smell of stinking horse manure, which is very strange.
Seeing the two come out, Sekino asked, "How is it?" ”
"The goods are there." Zhao Hui pointed to the lofty mountains north of the town, the reckless Hinduku Mountains, desolate as the surface of the moon, where Soviet troops armed to the teeth decades ago had a bruised nose and swollen face.
"The situation has changed, and I am against continuing the mission." Sekino immediately objected, and according to the plan of action, they should get the key parts of the drone at this bazaar, instead of going deep into the dangerous mountains to make a deal.
"Boy, do you understand the improvisation, the plan made by the official who sits in the office is not allowed eight times out of ten, if you don't want to go, stay and wait for us." Zhao Hui said disdainfully.
Guan Ye gritted his teeth and said, "I want to report to my superiors immediately." ”
"Okay, remember to avoid people when you make a phone call, the locals will think you're an American spy when they see you using a satellite phone." Zhao Hui coldly threw away the cloth bag containing the satellite phone.
Sekino took a deep breath, but still didn't go to get the phone, there are rules for the action, and you can't contact at will unless you have to, in the barren and backward area of Afghanistan, the use of satellite phones is easy for the Americans to see, and if the target is exposed, the gains outweigh the losses.
Zhao Hui sat in the Gasjeep, took a pinch of tobacco and chewed it in his mouth, looking like an authentic Afghan, the three of them are the kind of men who are not particularly burly, but look very strong, coupled with the flame extinguishing port of the short assault rifle that is inadvertently exposed, ordinary people know that these people are not easy to mess with when they see it.
After waiting for a while, Hamid finally settled down at home, took a lock to lock the shop, and quickly jumped on the gas jeep, the co-pilot's seat had been reserved for him, Zhao Hui drove, Liu Ziguang and Guan Ye were on guard, and the jeep went out along the bumpy road.
The scenery along the way is monotonous and repeated, almost all of them are deserts with no grass, it is winter, and there is no trace of green, jeeps drive along a dry riverbed to the mountains, gradually the road becomes rugged, under the steep cliffs, a T62 tank lies alone on the gravel, the hatch is wide open, the iron armor is already full of red embroidery, not far from the tank, is the wreckage of an American-made helicopter gunship, this is Afghanistan, the graveyard of the empire, whether it is the British Empire in the nineteenth century or the Soviet Union in the eighties of the twentieth century, Even today's United States and NATO cannot avoid the fate of sinking in the sand.
The trading place is a hidden cave, there are many such caves in the Hinduku Mountains, dry and deep, suitable for hiding, not to mention a weapon, even thousands of troops and horses are scattered in this vast deep mountain are difficult to find, at this time the three of them can't help but think of the notorious ***, maybe this bearded terrorist is hiding in a cave here.
Before arriving at the destination, Sekino quietly got out of the car, holding a sniper rifle and climbing up the hill next to him, it was a fool's act for the three of them to appear together, as a security officer, he must be responsible for everyone's lives and the safety of state property.
Gasjeep stopped, Hamid jumped out of the car first, Liu Ziguang followed, Zhao Hui was the last to get out of the car, he looked at the deserted mountains around him, threw a blanket bag on the back seat, took out a grenade, and attached the safety pin to the doorknob with a thin wire.
The three men walked to the mouth of the cave, Hamid shouted inside, and without much effort, three locals came out, holding AK47 and RPD squad machine guns in their arms, and looked at the customers with lazy eyes.
Hamid negotiated a few words with them in the local language, then waved his hand at Zhao Hui, and led the two into the cave, a white Predator drone was quietly parked in the cave, the landing gear and the nose part were slightly damaged, overall the condition was not bad, and there were eight intact Hellfire air-to-ground missiles under the fuselage, and the value of these eight missiles alone was not less than a million dollars.
After Zhao Hui obtained their consent, he checked the nose of the aircraft, and after confirming that the self-destruct device had been destroyed, he nodded at Liu Ziguang, and then Hamid began to bargain with them, and the other party stretched out five fingers, saying that 500,000 US dollars would not be counteroffered, and this price was simply given away for nothing!
But Liu Ziguang seemed to be careless when the other party was talking about the price, and his fingers never left the trigger, and the three guys were also standing in a tricky position, inadvertently controlling the favorable terrain in the cave.
Zhao Hui motioned for Liu Ziguang to take out the money, Liu Ziguang took out the suitcase from under the robe and opened it, revealing a pile of green banknotes inside, the other party showed a greedy gaze, exchanged glances with each other, and raised the gun in his hand.
It's not so easy to eat black, Liu Ziguang has long hidden one hand under the suitcase, the Stepchegin automatic pistol in his hand fired first, and a string of bullets hit the lower abdomen of the man with the machine gun in Naban, but the other party still fired, the bullets hit the stone wall, and the cave was filled with deafening gunshots.
Almost at the same time, Zhao Hui took the AK74U short burst sweep, the orange-red muzzle flame was particularly conspicuous in the slightly dark cave, the two gunmen shot at the same time as they were swept down, the bullet hit Zhao Hui, the pain made him kneel down, and continued to shoot violently, until a box of bullets was empty, and the three guys were completely dead.
Zhao Huixun put on a new magazine, pulled Hamid who was lying on the ground and scolded him, Hamid was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he begged for mercy and said that it was none of his business.
"He's hurt." Liu Ziguang watched coldly, knowing that Hamid was also the target of the other party's extermination when the fight started, and Hamid was shot in the stomach, and blood gushed out, if he didn't get medical treatment, he was afraid that he wouldn't last long.
"!" Zhao Hui tore off his coat, revealing the bulletproof vest inside, touched his ribs and said: "At least two are broken, it seems that any body armor at close range is given for nothing, this old boy can make us miserable." ”
That being said, he still took out a first-aid kit to bandage Hamid's wound, poured hemostatic powder on the wound indiscriminately, covered it with gauze and ordered: "Press it yourself!" ”
Hamid's face was very bad, he kept praying, blood was gushing out, Zhao Hui patted his face, didn't say anything more, turned to check the predator, suddenly there was a loud noise outside the cave, and the thunder set up on the car exploded.
Immediately followed by dense gunshots, the mouth of the cave was beaten to the smoke and dust, Liu Ziguang immediately rushed to the entrance of the cave and shot out at a long point, and the accurate shooting suppressed the other party, but the situation was obviously not good, the other party came no less than fifty people, looking at the movements are veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, covering each other and jumping towards the cave.
Liu Ziguang changed the magazine and ran out quickly, at this time, the short handguard was already hot, and the assault rifle was not suppressing firepower, and the barrel of the bullet would be red when a few boxes of bullets were shot.
This shows the inexperience of the organizers, the whole squad did not have support firepower, but fortunately Zhao Hui threw the RPD squad with a machine gun.
Liu Ziguang dropped the ak74u, took the RPD and began to shoot rhythmically long points, the RPD used the bullet chain to feed the ammunition, the fire of the 100 cartridge boxes was very sustainable, and the opponent's offensive was immediately suppressed, at this time Guan Ye also fired, and the militants lying behind the bunker had blood on the back of their heads, and three people were put down in a hurry.
"Lao Zhao, run." Liu Ziguang turned around and shouted, but now Zhao Hui was disassembling the predator, his face was full of beads of sweat the size of beans, and his hands were shaking badly, and it seemed that the injury was not light.
"Leave that alone, it's important to save your life." Liu Ziguang roared.
"I'm just going to save my life!" Zhao Hui also replied and beckoned him: "Help me move this over." ”
Liu Ziguang shot another long shot, turned around and moved a Hellfire missile under the belly of the Predator to the mouth of the cave, Zhao Hui gritted his teeth and crawled over, I don't know where he pulled out two wires connected to the tail of the missile, and then took out something similar to an Apple mobile phone from his arms, pressed it a few times and then rolled to the side.
The Hellfire missile roared and flew towards the militants, exploding with a bang, smoke and dust billowed out, Liu Ziguang took the opportunity to carry Hamid, and ran out with the RPD in one hand, Zhao Hui also followed closely, but his steps were obviously a little staggering.
Sekino unhurriedly pointed out with a sniper rifle on the opposite hill, so that the militants did not dare to chase the three of them, but fortunately, the target of the gang was only the drone, and they did not mean to kill them all.
Temporarily out of danger, the three of them hid in the sheltered mountain nest and were tired like dog dogs, Zhao Hui pressed ** in pain and said: "The ribs hurt badly, and after playing with the eagle all my life, I was pecked by Xiao Jiaqiao, it's really *** back!" ”
He pointed at Hamid and scolded: "It's all a good business introduced by you." ”
Hamid was already unconscious, but there was still a trace of breath, Zhao Hui said: "Lao Liu, leave him behind, he can't get out of this matter anyway." ”
Liu Ziguang shook his head and didn't say anything.
"What about the security officer? It's not going to hang, is it? Send some newcomers to make a mess up there, really***! Zhao Hui was scolding indignantly, when suddenly a black shadow pounced, startling them and hurriedly picked up their guns, but it was Guan Ye who came.
Guan Ye's face was not very good-looking, and his expression was also very serious, and he asked in a low voice: "The operation failed, do you want to report it to your superiors." ”
"Superiors, you know that reporting to your superiors is not over yet, understand?" Zhao Hui reprimanded.
"The team members were injured, and there were fierce clashes with unknown armed students, and the whole incident has been seriously planned, and we need instructions from our superiors." Sekino still insisted.
"Okay, you can report it." Zhao Hui threw the satellite phone over, Guan Ye opened the cloth bag and looked at it, but now the phone has been shattered by bullets, if it weren't for the buffer of this bullet, I'm afraid Zhao Hui would have hung up.
"What did you just do?" Liu Ziguang diverted the topic and asked.
"I watched them leave, and the drone was loaded onto a truck and taken away." Guan Ye said a little gloomily, the first time he carried out the mission, he was so discouraged, it was no wonder that he could be happy.
"Let's go, let's go back first." Liu Ziguang put Hamid on his shoulder again and said.
"Carrying him on his back is restricted, and it would be bad if someone chased him." Sekino objected.
Liu Ziguang shook his head and said, "If there is danger, you can go first." With that, he picked up the RPD and walked out.
Gasjeep was blown up, and they had to move forward on foot, walking in the deserted valley, cold and hunger tormented them repeatedly, Sekino was a soldier of the special forces, this extreme march in the alpine region was commonplace for him, but it was too much for the employees of Yongchang Company.
Zhao Hui was injured internally, he had to stop and rest every time he walked a distance, the kettle and dry food were blown up along with the car, several people were foaming on their mouths, and the unconscious Hamid was still moaning for water to drink, which made Zhao Hui even more angry.
Suddenly, a car appeared in view.
