CHAPTER XXXI

"Then you're in trouble, I'll go to Wei Han and apply for an order now." ACE'S VOICE GREW LOUDER.

The 'hairy' donkey turned around and swung a few times on the machine gun, so fast that it was impossible to see, and then he turned back and seemed to be holding something in his hand. Obviously, in just a few strokes, he had already reassembled and reassembled the machine gun, removing an important part.

"You can try it, stupid big one." The 'hairy' donkey looked at ACE angrily.

Someone in the hangar was already looking this way.

"You two are too much." Luo 'Gate' was also a little annoyed, and stood between the two of them in one step.

"You 'mess' spread my gossip, and you dare to use this gossip to 'trade', I should have taught you a lesson, but now you 'hand' the machine gun to ACE, then I will forget about it." Luo 'Men' looked at the 'hairy' little donkey. "Do you feel better now?"

The 'hairy' donkey rolled his eyes, turned away unconvinced, loaded the machine gun in two strokes, and threw it at the ace in a huff.

'Touching' the weapon, Ace made a look of intoxication with his eyes half-closed.

"From now on, you are Gao Dafei's 'private' property."

Romon slapped him on the head.

"Now you have to apologize to the 'hairy' little donkey. This is in the army, and you know very well what the consequences of stealing are. ”

ACE CLUTCHED THE MACHINE GUN IN HIS HAND TIGHTLY AND BOWED DEEPLY TO THE 'HAIRY' DONKEY.

"I was wrong."

"Saying goodbye to the body?" Zhao Sanhong suddenly appeared, joking somehow.

"I'm practicing saying goodbye to the body, and you'll be using it soon." The 'hairy' donkey fought back viciously. "Did you write a will?"

Before the operation, there are always a few minutes left for the special operators to write the so-called will. However, they also know very well that after these wills are 'handed over' to the logistics team, they will be intercepted and read by a special 'department', and once something really happens, the department' will send a standard form death notice to their families, rather than actually sending their handwritten wills back.

The special operators have been clearly informed of this, so they generally choose to verbally 'hand' over what their teammates need to do. In fact, everyone has already arranged their own affairs in normal times, without waiting until the time of war to think about it, this process is completely a formality. No one has ever really taken a pen or paper to write something.

Shen Maopai is an exception. He would take all the paper away and use the charcoal and pencil he carried with him to sketch the people or scenery around him, which was his habit of relaxing himself, no matter where he was. Zhao Sanhong pointed at the side with a wicked smile, probably thinking that he was having some bad idea. Luo 'Men' guessed that they were probably spoofing Zhao Xuefeng's figure.

Zhao Xuefeng still didn't put on his shirt, but practiced his martial arts there alone, practicing until he was sweating. It's his way of relaxing.

Permission Ai crouched on the ground and checked his rucksack. He is today's war doctor is elected by everyone, in Team A, Xu Ai is the most serious and meticulous person, and his specialty is battlefield ambulance, so the things to bring are more cumbersome than others.

Ma Xibei quietly leaned in the corner and read. On the cover of the book, there are four words "Tiger Standing in Xiongguan", and when you look at the "color" and quality of the cover, you can know that it is a pirated copy bought from a stall. This kind of book is usually not nutritious, but Ma Xibei actually read it with relish, and even put the food in his hand aside.

Everyone is calmer than Luo 'Gate'.

Dinner was on the workbench, and despite the fact that everything was not in hand, the logistics staff prepared a not sumptuous but delicious meal, the operation was expected to be over in twelve hours, and they had already eaten, and now they brought a plate of tomatoes and 'fiddled' with the new Mk48 machine gun while eating.

Romen saw that he had attached a red dot sight to the machine gun. After carrying the magazine of four hundred rounds, ACE intercepted a chain of about 30 rounds and hung it in the magazine, which was for the sake of ease of movement. And if on the move, thirty rounds of ammunition are enough to provide cover for a teammate to 'fire' a shot, and then find a machine-gun position under the cover of a companion who finds cover.

ACE has taken everything possible into account, and it's a blessing to have a teammate like ACE.

"What are you looking at?" ACE GLANCED AT HIM AND SHOVED THE LAST SLICE OF TOMATO INTO HIS MOUTH.

"You've got some tomato juice on the barrel." Ro'mon reminded him.

ACE CURSED LOWLY, WIPED THE BARREL CLEAN WITH A TORN PIECE OF CLOTHING AT HAND, THEN STOOD UP AND ADJUSTED THE MACHINE GUN'S STRAP UNTIL IT FELT COMFORTABLE.

"If only there was a place where I could shoot dozens of shots." ACE smacked his lips regretfully, then turned to Ro'mon. "Compared to my machine gun, your M-14 is like an old 'milk' 'milk'."

Ro'men smiled. "But this old 'milk' and 'milk' can still kill."

Lai 'Chun' Lei and Zhao Xuefeng, who had changed into black 'color' combat uniforms, walked over, and these clothes made them look very stylish. Zhao Xuefeng was already fully armed, he was the spearhead of this operation, and he and the snipers entered the position before the others.

"It's time for the snipers and spearheads to go, helicopters will be there soon." Lai 'Chun' Lei took turns looking at Luo 'Men' and ACE, his eyes were very serious. "Who is the captain of the two of you today?"

ACE stretched out his finger and pointed at the 'door'.

Lai 'Chun' Lei looked at Luo 'Men', and there seemed to be a deep meaning in his eyes.

"You're doing well everywhere, Luo 'Gate', even 128's most famous thorn head ace is willing to listen to your command."

Luo 'Men' looked at Lai 'Chun' Lei. "Do you have to compare everything with me?"

Lai 'Chun' Lei was expressionless. "Of course. Ever since you took my position in the Special Office, I've wanted to know where you're better than me. You know I'm a serious person, so, yes, I'm going to have to compare myself to you in everything. ”

Ro'men smiled. "Lai, I'm just luckier than you."

Lai 'Chun' Lei shook his head. "That's not going to work, you shouldn't be better than me."

ACE whistled and motioned for Ma Xibei, Shen Maopai, and Zhao Sanhong to bring their equipment to gather here. Seeing the snipers and spearheads ready to go, the combatants realized that Operation Thunder had officially begun, and all their attention was focused.

At the beginning of the operation, they had to determine their respective call signs, call 'wave' bands and encryption methods again, which once again triggered Zhao Sanhong's emotion, muttering why the people of Team B can use big animals such as "wild horses" and "mad dogs" as call signs, while Team A has to be all reptiles like "spiders" and "sand scorpions" as call signs, and they are all small reptiles? Of course, no one cares about his complaints.

A helicopter roared in front of the hangar, and a large cloud of smoke and dust poured in from the big 'gate' with the strong wind rolled up by the rotors. Spearheads and snipers run quickly onto the helicopter, which swings away.

Lai 'Chun' Lei turned his head to look at Luo 'Men'. "What should I say? Happy working together? ”

Ro'mon also looked at him. "Needless to say, we'll make sure your mission is done first."

A smile finally appeared on Lai' Chun' Lei's face. "This operation is important for everyone, and if we behave well, maybe Unit 128 will not have to be disbanded."

He suddenly saw Luo 'Men's CQBR, and the smile on his face was even stronger. "You won't have a chance to take over my mission, so why don't you leave this thing at home and take some burden off yourself?"

Ro'mon didn't laugh. "It makes me feel bad not to bring this, it's my habit, that's all."

Lai 'Chun' thundered the map in Yang's hand. "Then let's figure out how to work together next."

Intelligence is the most important part of any military operation. Without intelligence, no one knows where to put the army, especially for special forces, where the success rate of the missions of the team and the B team is almost 100 percent, and it is no exaggeration to say that accurate intelligence gathering is the most reliable factor. In many cases, it is as easy as going to the backyard of their own homes, but perhaps half a year before that, the personnel of the team and the relevant departments have begun to collect and analyze information about the mission, and as long as the experts in the team have the slightest doubt about the content of the intelligence, they will not start to make preparations before the operation.

For the most part, Pakistani security forces, with "limited" support from the U.S. intelligence system, are able to provide relatively accurate intelligence, and the pictures they provide are of better quality and clearer, but they can only serve as a reference here. If the guerrillas were instructed by the Americans, then even if they had their hands on this information, they would not be able to use it, and its value would only be used to analyze the terrain, so they would still have to send people to reconnoiter the field in person.

In addition, surveillance and listening systems in the air and on the ground also provide valuable information at all times. For intelligence units, there is no such thing as wartime and non-wartime, and intelligence gathering is measured in 24 hours.

Two hours later, the snipers and spikes were all in position, and everything was normal in the target area.

Riding in a Mi-24 helicopter gunship, Unit 128 flew at full speed towards the Suleyman Pass.

Wei Han personally served as the executive commander, coordinating the 'exchange' of intelligence between the front and the rear. He knew very well that although there is an incomparably deep friendship between China and Pakistan, not all Pakistanis are pro-China figures, especially in the 'gate' of the Ministry of Security, and there are not a few people who admire the United States and are willing to serve it, so Wei Han only hopes that their actions can be kept secret for 12 hours, at least no less than 8 hours.

At the same time, he also has to monitor the movements of American troops in Afghanistan, and intelligence suggests that they will send people to interrogate the kidnapped engineers, hoping to obtain the core secrets of China's project in Pakistan, which is the biggest hidden danger of the operation.

In the operational intelligence room of the General Staff, the intelligence staff officers discovered that two Chinook transport helicopters and one armed Black Hawk transport plane of the 10th Mountain Division had left their camp and were approaching the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Observation from the ground informed that the 16th Special Service Wing of the US Army in Afghanistan was flying away from the plane.
