Chapter Ninety-Two: Targeting
"Don't worry." McJison pointed to Captain Shaq Faiz, who was talking to a group of Iraqi soldiers, and said, "These Faiz will do it." Just follow them all the way to Arsabad. ”
Donovan nodded and said, "So if we want to contact you, will it be through him?" ”
"Yes. However, you can also contact us directly if you need to. McGison gestured to Rubin as he spoke, "Give them the satellite phone." ”
After Donovan received the call from Rubin, McJisen said, "Actually, you probably don't need this, because you can contact here directly from Alsabad." After saying that, he looked at the three Humvees, and after seeing that all the things were loaded into the car, he said, "You also asked for drones before." Sorry, we can't provide that. That's all for now. ”
"Nothing." Donovan looked indifferent and said, "You've done a good job." After speaking, he looked at the man standing next to the car: "Get in the car, everyone." Here we went. With that, he reached out and shook hands with McJison and Rubin again.
After Donovan got on the bus, the convoy started, and the heavy iron gate of the north gate was slowly opened, and the gate was also very heavy, so it was also electronically controlled. After the gate opened, the first to drive out was an armored car driven by the Iraqis, the second and third were also their armored vehicles and the Humvee Jeep, and it was only in the fourth car that Captain Faiz, who was standing on the side of the road and commanding, motioned for the 009 team to follow.
The three Humvees immediately started one after another, one after the other, and outside the north gate, there were several waiting Iraqis driving cars, and there were also some American soldiers who were on guard. The road outside was much narrower than the one outside the gate to the south, and the houses on both sides of the road seemed to be empty. Because the windows above are all thought to be sealed.
The three vehicles of Team 009 quickly came to a halt in order, and behind them were vehicles loaded with the rest of the Iraqis. Captain Faiz was the last to board a car in front of their Humvee at Maurice. Immediately after that, the walkie-talkie in Donovan's hand came Faiz's voice.
"Mr. Donovan. This is Faiz, can you hear me? ”
Donovan immediately picked up the intercom in the car and said, "Captain Faiz, I'm Donovan. Can be heard and very clear. ”
"Okay. Mr. Donovan. Let's go right away. You will follow us on the way. I'm sure Major McJison has already told you, no matter what the situation, you just have to take care of yourself and don't just leave the group. Faiz said.
"Understood. We'll cooperate. Donovan responded.
"So here we go. It won't be long on the road. It's a road we're all familiar with. Forty minutes later we should be able to reach Al Sabad. Complete. As soon as Faiz's voice fell, the convoy moved.
Donovan looked back at Megan in the car and said, "What did you talk to him about?" ”
Megan touched the helmet on her head, obviously she was very uncomfortable wearing this, but she didn't take it off and said after loosening the buckle strap: "Asked him something about the recent situation here." And the previous attack. ”
"What did he say?" Donovan asked.
"Nothing special." Megan said: "He said they also participated in the previous counterattack. The militants were quickly repulsed. Although he didn't kill too many people, he did catch some. There were about forty or fifty people. ”
"And that includes Malle Potuk?" Donovan asked.
"Yes. But he didn't know who Malle Potuk really was. In fact, he and his men did not participate in that battle. It was only then that he and his men sent the captured men to the prison in Al-Sabad. Megan said.
"What about the others? Has it been so quiet here lately? Donovan continued.
"Not really. He told me that there were always small clashes, some cold guns, or bombs and rockets that appeared out of nowhere. It was only after that attack was defeated that the place fell silent. Megan said.
Donovan couldn't help but glance at Pete who was driving when he heard Meghan say this, and then continued: "Didn't he say why?" Could it be that all these people who have been here for a long time were wiped out or arrested that day? ”
"That's weird to him, too." Meghan said: "But they are happy to win. I hope that this calm will last forever. ”
"Did you ask about patrolling? Did he participate? Donovan asked.
Megan shook her head and said, "I didn't ask. I can't ask questions like I'm interrogating a prisoner. We have to rely on them here. ”
"You have a point." Donovan nodded and looked out the window, only to see that the scars of the war could still be clearly seen in some parts of the city. Even some of the houses are still in a state of ruin, and there are very few people on the road, almost very few.
"Y'all bring guns, too." Donovan retracted his gaze and said, "Be vigilant." ”
As he spoke, the convoy quickly hit the main road and passed through the checkpoint north of the city five minutes later. Because it is a special vehicle with a mission, not only does it not need to queue up to pass the inspection, but there is no basic inspection, and it directly passes through the checkpoint through a special passage. And just after they left the checkpoint, a man watched the convoy heading north open the door and get into the car next to a delivery truck parked on the side of the road in the direction of the city. As soon as I got into the car, I pulled out a phone and pressed a number that had been saved for a long time and called it.
The phone rang three times and was connected, and after it was connected, the caller seemed very excited, only to see him quickly: "Said they were leaving." The Americans, as well as those traitors to the puppet government, set off. To the north, in the direction of Al Sabad. ”
"Don't get excited." Meghan would have been shocked if Meghan heard the voice on the other side of the phone, because the owner of this voice was Malle Potuk, the hapless man who should have been in prison at the moment. And the truth is obviously completely different from what Meghan and they have mastered, at least there is a huge gap. I only heard Marle Potuk say very flatly: "Don't talk about the armed forces of the current government. They are actually our own people. There are quite a few of us among them, and a lot of people we can fight for, so don't say that. ”
"Got it." The messenger said yes and then immediately said, "There are quite a few of them who have come out. In total, there were almost ten vehicles. ”
