Chapter 63
Four "Black Hawks" that "volunteered" to take part in the flight mission took off from the ground one after another, and these planes picked up the soldiers of the mountain division who were heading for their original destination halfway through, and then flew directly to the landing place of the transport plane of unknown nationality. Together with the two formations already on the way, the 10th Mountain Division dispatched all the helicopters that could be dispatched, and if the Navy or Air Force were notified as Jones intended, then at least two F-16 fighters would join the battle.
This is an official 'engagement' between two great powers, but as long as both sides remain silent, who in the world will know the details? When the heads of state of two great powers hold hands together, their mutual respect must not only come from the flags behind them, but also from admiration for each other's personal courage.
Facing the wind and sand in the night, Bob silently thought about his mission.
A truck drove towards the transport plane.
They want to destroy the evidence in the fastest possible time. If they hadn't found the transporter, they had a good chance of succeeding. How did this transport plane fool the radar? But that's not the point. In those years when organized drug cartels have become experts on evading radar detection, it would be self-defeating to ask this question again. This is a tactical success.
In The Art of War, this is called surprise. In the Art of War, it is said that as long as you can do this, you can basically achieve all tactical victories. In the Art of War, it is also said that soldiers are noble and fast. If "surprise" and "speed of soldiers" can be combined, what other battles will be lost? Bob had studied the book and could even recite important passages in Chinese, but he had to admit that he could never really understand the 'essence' of the book. To Bob, the book is like a password, and to fully unlock its secrets requires a key, which now seems to be shared by every Chinese.
A truck. How did they do it? Even though they must have had the help of the locals, Bob was 'confused' and 'confused' by the details. Although the intelligence of the "oracle" was more than ten hours late, the US military originally occupied Afghanistan and had sufficient geographical advantages, so they believed that there was no place to lag behind in the time of the operation, which made the Chinese's actions look even more bizarre. Could it be that there is still such an emergency plan in the 'drawer' of their Ministry of Defense, and they only need to take it out and take a look at it when the time comes? This is simply the legendary "trick" of his ***, but even the Chinese themselves admit that there is no such thing as "trick" in this world.
Bob felt that they should catch a Chinese and study the ins and outs of these things. The Oracle used to be their hope, but now everything that comes into contact with the Oracle is not going well. The "oracle" is a house thief, but there is a good 'door' dog in this family, and as long as he finds something abnormal, he will bite wildly. Now the problem is not in the "oracle", but in this 'gatekeeper' dog. This 'door' dog isolates the "oracle" from the outside world, and if this 'door' dog is not 'gotten', the "oracle" and the CIA can only look at each other through the wall and cannot do it.
That's what they're going to do next, but for now, they're getting the supplies. Will it be nuclear material? Bob kept asking himself. If it is nuclear materials, if the Americans can get the materials or physical objects of China's transfer of nuclear weapons abroad, then they will be able to deal a fatal blow to this giant who is standing up, and that will be the CIA's greatest achievement in the new century.
The heavily armed soldiers in the cabin were surprised by the fat man beside him. They had seen all sorts of things since they arrived in Afghanistan, but it was true that there was no one in the suit 'trousers' that rustled in the wind and the hard-soled leather shoes made of soft calfskin, and especially his weight, which seemed to be particularly heavy even for the sound of the engine tonight. If it weren't for the fact that he was very professional with a rifle, some people would have started to speak out against him.
The Chinese have always been very careful, so it is not easy to grasp their handle, this crash may be their biggest mistake, if they cannot seize this opportunity, then they can only suffer domestic and international ridicule for their own "China is creating nuclear proliferation" problem.
There was another intelligence report from the ground command center, and according to the intelligence of satellites and drones, another truck departed, but in the opposite direction from the previous one. Jones asked, not without concern, could this be the enemy's tactic. Bob agrees with Jones's concerns, but he wants to use Jones' comments as a backup. A look at the map shows that it takes at least seven or eight hours for a truck to cross Afghanistan to reach the Iran-Afghanistan border, and if the transport plane misses over, their helicopter will still have time to intercept the truck on the road. But the point of the problem is not here, only transport planes are the fastest and most secure way.
The enemy trucks were passing through the minefield faster than they expected, the trucks were approaching the runway, and now was the time to buy time. The first two Kiowa had caught up with the trucks, but the enemy had set up positions around the runway, two 'high-firing' machine guns were already firing at them, the ground situation was unknown, and perhaps anti-aircraft missiles.
Bob ordered "Kiowa" not to get entangled with the ground position, the transport plane was not their target, the truck was, they just had to destroy the truck and leave, and the rest was 'handed over' to the ground forces who arrived later. Before he could finish his words, the driver of the "Kiowa" told him that the truck had stopped a few hundred meters away from the runway, and that there were people in the car who had evacuated to the runway, and whether it was necessary to pursue him. It seems that after hearing the news of the downing of the "Apache", all the pilots were apprehensive about the anti-aircraft missile. The combat doctrine also stipulates that helicopter sorties are not allowed without confirmation that there is no air defense on the ground.
"That transport plane is about to take off, sir, are you really sure you don't need to attack?" The driver of the "Kiowa" in front asked again, and it seemed that he was excited to go into battle. "We can try."
"All I need is that truck." Bob yelled over the radio, he wasn't interested in the transporter or the man. "As long as you can 'hand' me the truck, it's none of my business what you do."
There will be no resistance on the ground during the time the transport planes are ready to take off and take off, which is the reason for the front-line pilots to attack, but Bob doubts their courage. If Bob's memory is correct, that type of transport aircraft had a 'door' tail gun, and although there is no testimony of the power of this 'door' tail gun, it was by no means a transport plane that could only be beaten and could not fight back.
Things turned out to be as Bob thought, the pilot of the "Kiowa" gave up the idea of attacking after discovering that the transport plane still had a "door" self-defense cannon, since there was no order for them to take risks, then why bother? And the truck suddenly caught fire, they had to follow Bob's request to ensure the safety of the box on the truck, a "Kiowa" ventured to the ground, with their own fire extinguisher to extinguish the truck's flames, and then arrived The remnants of the 16th Special Service Wing immediately set up a defensive position.
Bob let out a sigh of relief, and despite the huge losses, the goal was achieved. The Chinese are very bold in their ideas and practices, and even show the ability to maneuver that surprised the Americans, but after all, this is the home stadium of the Americans, although the victory or defeat is suspenseful but has long been decided, and the result of this friendly match is completely acceptable to the home team.
The Special Material Handling Team has departed from the ground command center and will be able to analyze the contents of the crates when they arrive. The infantry combat team of the 10th Mountain Division arrived at the protection site one after another, and Bob stood in the wind and sand in the middle of the night, not knowing whether it was due to the cold or the 'agitation', and the 'fat' and 'flesh' all over his body were shaking. Bob asked a soldier passing by him for a cigarette, lit it, and took a long puff. He can report to Washington at dawn, and he doesn't have to worry about anyone being woken up by himself.
Jones asked if he wanted to take action against another truck.
Bob thought for a moment. Jones had all the manpower he could provide here, and he had no more forces at his disposal, so he could have other "peacekeepers" stationed near the highway set up roadblocks to intercept the truck if necessary. The reason given to the other forces was that he suspected that there were members of the "Taliban" in the car, and that he could not 'reveal' what he was doing to these countries. However, Bob also had a backup plan that even the command center of the 10th Mountain Division did not know, and it was also a plan that he would never use when he had to do so. Now it seems that things are completely under his control, but Bob knows better than anyone how important it is to have a backup plan in place at all times.
He took the satellite phone and hesitated for a moment before dialing it.
Another truck, driven by ACE, was speeding down a road. In order to see the road ahead, he almost held the steering wheel in his arms, even though the view from the KAMAZ cab was good enough.
"Slow down, ACE. According to your driving method, it will be finished before the destination car arrives. Luo 'Gate' frowned at the upside down. At that point you'll have to get down and push the cart. ”
"Slow down? At this time, I can't wait to make this car fly. Who knows when a helicopter will catch up? ACE SMILED. I think I can go to another car. ”
"If there were helicopters, they would have been there a long time ago." Luo 'Men' looked at his watch, almost flew upside down again, and hurriedly reached out to hold the dashboard in front of him. "You're worried about armored vehicles or tanks. I'll tell you again, you can't stand this kind of engine. ”
"It's true that I haven't driven this car before, but you have driven it? So don't come and pretend to be an old driver with me. ACE gave Roe a disdainful look. Besides, what has been 'fiddled' by the old ACE will not be able to strike halfway without my permission. ”
"I can't take it anymore." Ma Xibei couldn't help but speak. "I'll do it."
"Get out of the way." ACE replied unceremoniously. "You've all listened to me, I don't want anyone to touch the steering wheel from here to where I'm going. Do you understand? ”
Fortunately, after driving for a while, Sun Guo was waiting on the road in a jeep that looked tattered on the outside.
According to Luo Men's plan, once the breakthrough is successful, Sun Guo will be a guide for them, leading them all the way to the border, and Sun Guo has all the necessary documents to pass through the checkpoints on the road. Luo 'Men' and Ma Xixi all jumped out of the cab of Kamath as if they were fleeing, and got into Sun Guo's jeep with their weapons and backpacks.
"I didn't expect your plan to succeed." Sun Guo looked at Luo 'Men' and smiled. "So, what happened to the other box?"
Luo 'Men' didn't answer, just smiled silently, and then held the infrared telescope in front of his eyes and motioned for Sun Guo to drive.
If the Americans were careful, they could spot the explosives that ACE had planted inside. But who knows, ACE is very clever, and the Americans will definitely have a hard time opening that box. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that someone as rough as ACE could be more cunning than a fox when it comes to designing these things. Ro'mon thought to himself.
After that, the Americans will definitely find out that they have been deceived, and it will depend on how soon they find out. If you find it early, it's still too late to turn around and catch up with them. Considering the importance that the Americans attach to this intelligence, this possibility is very 'sexual'. By that time, they will basically have nothing to deal with.
That's when his satellite phone rang.
Sun Guo gave him a strange look. "Who are you going to contact at this time?"
"Contact my backup plan." Luo 'Men' winked at Sun Guo. "In such a hostile environment, you need not only a few more helpers, but also a few more backup plans. Now that we have helpers, we need to plan. ”
Sun Guo nodded solemnly. He now has a deep belief in these people from this country. These people were not the same as the soldiers and intelligence officers he had seen before, but who prescribed what it was like to be a soldier and intelligence officer on a special mission? They seem to be a bit of a freewheeling sloppiness, but as long as they can do their job, who cares what they look like?
Sun Guo turned his head to concentrate on driving, and Ma Xibei took the telescope of Luo 'Gate' from behind and continued to observe the movement in front. One advantage of driving at night is that multinational peacekeepers don't come out and take risks at this time if it's not necessary; The trouble at night is that the activities of local militants are rampant, and there is no guarantee that no one will take an interest in their trucks.
