Jones glanced at Bob and took the microphone from the communications officer.

"'Big Dog', you're facing a much more powerful opponent than the intelligence describes, so our situation is not very optimistic, do you still want to take the initiative to attack? Come to an end. ”

"Big Dog" was the commander of the 16th Special Service Wing, Joe Brown. Lieutenant Smith, nicknamed from the 25th Light Infantry Division, was screened by the military and intelligence to join the 16th Special Service Wing, and was one of the first U.S. active-duty troops to enter Afghanistan the day after the events of 9/11, 2001. The capture of Ben *** sent the Sixteenth Wing numerous times in and out of the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Smith had accumulated a wealth of combat experience and knowledge, and although the composition of the Sixteenth Wing was always changing, it was only as soon as Joe Wing arrived. In Smith's hands, anyone can become a brave warrior.

Although Jones is a higher rank than Joe, his cleverness lies in the fact that he knows when to let Joe take command.

"Sir, I want to know how powerful they are. Come to an end. ”

Glancing at Bob, Jones hesitated and raised the microphone again.

"All I can say is that they're almost as sharp as you. Come to an end. ”

"That said, the CIA is still a stupid 'forced' mission, sir. But as long as it's not a Martian on the other side, my men and I can kick their *** hard, so I insist on starting a ground attack, and the ground crew is waiting for us to rescue them. "Joe had to raise his already high voice in the wind." And I hate the feeling of floating in the air. Come to an end. ”

"The request is granted, 'Striker' One. Come to an end. ”

"Okay, God bless the infantry. Come to an end. ”

At the end of the sentence, Joe uses "out" instead of "over", indicating that he no longer needs Jones' response. In military radio conversations, the words "out", "over", "roger", and "ilco", which all mean the end, mean different meanings, so they cannot be used arbitrarily.

Jones shook his head and put down the microphone in his hand.

This is a crisp Kentucky dude, and although the CIA's vague mission is likely to bring him to a dead end, he is still very professional. At the same time, Jones, who had calmed down, realized that what appeared there must mean something to the White House, otherwise the military would not agree to risk the lives of these "elite" soldiers. It's not about how noble the military is, but whether it can get the same value as these 'elite' soldiers.

He didn't have any more troops to transport, but he could send a volunteer order to the division's air cavalry to recruit pilots willing to face unknown anti-aircraft fire for combat missions. The bottom line is that the battle-tested XVI Wing can be counted on at any time, and in the worst case they can hold out until the arrival of ground forces.

The fast reaction forces, of course, did not want to stay here until the arrival of the ground forces of the Americans.

The cost of knocking out one Apache was two dead and one wounded, and knowing on the radio that there were still people alive on the position, ACE volunteered to pick up the wounded. He drove the jeep through the valley, and with the help of the cover of the cliffs on both sides, he successfully rescued the wounded man, who was bruised by rubble, but miraculously saved his life.

"Well done." Luo 'Gate' gave a heartfelt thumbs up to Commander No. 1.

"It would have been better if the 'Pave Eagle' who transported the troops had been killed first, and the enemy must have been alert now." Number One pounded his fist on his palm with regret. "If you can't take it by surprise, the whole battle will be lost."

I'm afraid it's too early to tell. Luo 'Men' felt that it would be better to lay down 'Apache' first. This battle cannot be resolved quickly, the less support the enemy has, the better, and the equipment of the 16th Special Service Wing is advantageous, and without armored vehicles, then they can only rely on "Apache" and "Paving Eagle". The tactics of the fast reaction force are very good, so far, they have only *** one position, which will undoubtedly make the other drivers suspicious. If one more helicopter can be knocked out next, then the next stage of the plan can be implemented.

"We can also participate in the battle and play some role in the production or something." Luo 'Gate' crouched beside No. 1, looking at No. 1's map with a pen-shaped flashlight. "There are still some places around here that could be landing grounds, and we can rush over and do reconnaissance for your combat group."

Number One looked at Ro' in bewilderment.

"According to your plan, you people are the most important people, and I can't let you go into battle."

"As long as we stick to the plan, we're only important, and until then, we're going to fight just like you." Ro'men looked at Number One with a smile. "If you can't stand it, where will you come up with the next step?"

"Don't worry, we're here on a suicide mission, as long as you can succeed." One's expression was serious. "The order said that there must be a certain certainty that the supplies will be blown up. I don't see you guys ready for that. The order also said that if you don't plan to make this preparation, then I will have to take over. ”

Ro' looked at One, and saw the persistence in his eyes.

"Orders are more important to you than anything else?"

Number One also looked at Ro'mon. "Doesn't it matter to you?"

Romon looked at him for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.

"An order is an order, and it's the same for us. But I still want to ask, even if you are going on a suicide mission, you still think that an order is an order? ”

"I'm the only one in the whole force who knows that for the time being, and I know exactly what we're going to do. I just want you to know what you're going to do. Number One nodded firmly. If we really can't go back, you should know what you need to do. ”

All he had to do was make it clear that he was going to trade the lives of these twenty people for the success of this plan. Of course, the commander of the rapid reaction force was very clever, and he knew what to do to put pressure on the people of Luomen.

ACE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MAP IS NOT AS EMPATHETIC AS RO'MON.

"I know exactly what we're going to do, but it doesn't matter if you get back or not." ACE looked at One in disgust. "It's not the same thing, there's no causal relationship between them, and it's upset that you're linking two things together like that. Do you think you're the only ones who might end up dying with your life? ”

Number One looked at ACE in surprise.

"You make the necessary preparations." Luo 'Gate's order to ACE interrupted the 'exchange' between the two in time. "Number One is right, we all have to make this necessary preparation anyway."

"What's the difference between not delivering a material to its destination and destroying it? It's all a mission failure for me. "Ace looked at Ro'mon this time." What happened to you? Do you really think it's necessary? ”

"The difference is that they can't be allowed to fall into the hands of the Americans." Number One was the first to answer this question. "That's why so many people are likely to sacrifice for a mission, and it's not just about success and failure that a mission is measured by."

"Now you're a commissar?" ACE looked at One with a sneer.

"Now it's time for you to prepare." Ro'mon interrupted Ace, then accentuated his tone. "According to the plan."

ACE reluctantly swallowed back the last words, glanced at Luo 'Men' dissatisfied, jumped up and ran towards the mountain 'cave'. As long as there is enough explosives, it is not difficult to destroy an iron box of this size, but to destroy the contents as well, it takes a blasting expert like ACE.

It wasn't until he saw Ace take the explosives from the jeep into the cave that Luo Men turned around.

"My men and I went to build a position that would echo your combat team, so that we would have a simple triangular defense, and the enemy would be flanked no matter which side it came from. I don't agree with your suicide mission, and once we've eliminated this group of enemies, I'm going to want you and your men to leave immediately. This mission does not require anyone to commit suicide at all. ”

Number One looked at Ro'men and nodded.

"Nobody wants to take on a suicide mission, but we have to be prepared until you know for sure."

Ro'Gate held out his hand to One.

"I'll see you later."

Number One looked at his outstretched hand and smiled suddenly.

"Do you really think we'll meet again?"

"Of course, we're all healthy, and we all have a long way to live." Luo 'Gate' did not retract his hand, and smiled kindly and sincerely. "Believe me, although the situation is not satisfactory, but grit your teeth and pass."

Infected by his optimism, Number One shook his hand vigorously. "See you later, then."

Ro' and Ma returned to the jeep and removed their gear from the car. With the exception of the ACE machine guns, their weapons were sealed with plastic film beforehand, otherwise it would be difficult to do routine maintenance of the weapons in such windy and sandy weather. Romen still uses his M-14 rifle with an unassembled Mk18 in his backpack, while Ma Xixi still uses his M4A1 and Benelli Super 90 shotgun with the stock removed. However, he is a short-barreled type, with a capacity of only four rounds.

"Do you really think this shotgun will help in this scene?"

Watching Ma Xibei load the shotgun, Luo 'Men' finally couldn't help but ask him.

"And what about your carbine?" Ma asked him without looking up, and reloaded the stock on the side of the shotgun. "If you don't even have a chance to shoot, then even a gun is redundant to you, but if you have a chance to shoot, what's the harm in bringing one more?"

Everyone has their own habits.

Even special operations personnel have their own preferences and even 'superstitious' behaviors. In the vast majority of cases, having an extra weapon on you will probably not help you in a single battle, and more often than not, you can solve all the problems without firing a single shot, but that's not the problem. For some people, carrying an extra weapon with them is a completely different feeling psychologically, closer to a psychological suggestion of "being able to get multiple protections", and the 'exchange' of weapons before the battle is just to relax their emotions.

What made Luo 'Men' feel a little uncomfortable was that Ma Xibei, who had always been taciturn, actually said so many things at once.

"I dare say there's a reason why you're suddenly so sentimental today. But there is a lot of truth in your words. ”

Ma Xibei did not answer. After pressing the bullets, he stuffed a few more grenades in his satchel.

"In the past, Zhao Sanhong always liked to bring more grenades, and no one in our team threw farther than him." Ma Xibei packed up his things and turned his head to look at Luo 'Men'. "I mean, if only they were here at this time."

This was the first time since the "Thunder" operation that Luo 'Men' heard Ma Xibei talk about his former comrades-in-arms, and his tone was very calm. Ro' always thought he was calm enough, but now it looks like Ma Beibei is even calmer than he is. He's the only one Rommon has ever seen who isn't really impulsive. However, today he suddenly said so many words that Luo 'Men' felt a little 'hairy'.

No one likes anomalies, especially at this time.

"They're here." Luo 'Men' checked the pistol one last time, 'inserted' it back into the holster next to the 'leg', and then turned his head to look at Ma Xixi, the expression on his face indicating that he was serious. "They are there to protect us every time we act, and this one was no exception. Trust me, because they don't have much to go but around us. ”

Ma Xibei looked at Luo 'Men' and slowly smiled on his lips.

"That's right, that's why we're so lucky."

Luo 'Men' pulled down the night vision device, and in the green 'color' vision, Ma Xixi's face was clearly recognizable. He suddenly remembered what it was like to wear a night vision device when the flare suddenly lit.

"I'll ask you for one thing, 'Soldier Ant'." Luo 'Men' pushed the night vision device again.

"No problem." Ma Xibei lowered his head and sorted out his backpack.

"Can you please stop talking so much at once?" Luo 'Men' thought about it and decided that he still wanted to say it in his heart. "You suddenly said so many things that made my heart tremble."

Ma Xibei looked at Luo 'Gate' attentively. "Because it's abnormal?"

Ro'men smiled. "You see, you know what is going on."

Ma Xixi picked up his backpack and smiled as well.

"It's not abnormal, 'hummingbird'. A person does not like to talk only because he feels that there are some things that need not be said, but when he needs to, he can also talk endlessly. ”

Ro'men looked at him warily. "You mean talking like ACE?"

"No, I'm not like ACE." Ma Xixi suddenly became expressionless again. "I promise."
