"The most important thing is that we have to be careful not to be shot in the back by these people." Liu Yan glanced at Colonel Callum, who had already given orders to his subordinates and was about to walk towards them, "According to experience, as well as the latest information from above, the Brotherhood has not been able to buy all the armed organizations here, and there are a considerable number of local rebel forces, in fact, they are fighting together with the government army, us, and the Brotherhood. They are not willing to join the global defense organization to fight against the alien race, nor are they willing to work for the alien race, they just want to drive all the 'outsiders' out of the Middle East and establish their own ideal country. ”

"Religious country?" Lieutenant Dominic opened his mouth and burst out a word, then nodded, nodded to Colonel Callum, who had already walked over, and turned to leave—he needed to adjust the defense of his troops a little more, and increase the means of countering backstabs.

Colonel Callum, who didn't know what Liu Yan and Lieutenant Dominic had talked about, continued to explain the deployment of this checkpoint with Major GDI in a normal manner, and explained in a rather proud tone his plan to deal with the most difficult mortar attack.

"It's a counterattack method of armed helicopters and attack drones, plus some artillery radar detection." Listening to Colonel Callum's words, Liu Yan was very indifferent, but he didn't taunt the other party, just kept nodding his head and agreeing with the other party's idea, after all, it was already good to have officers in this place who wanted to get these things, and he didn't ask for more - and one more, don't be stabbed in the back by these so-called allies.

He knew that when the people of country M were rampant in the Middle East in the past, they were shot in the back by the so-called allies they trained.

"It's almost time." Not knowing what Liu Yan was thinking, Colonel Callum looked at his watch and then at the direction of the road, and then said to Liu Yan, "You can start working." ”

In fact, the entrance to the checkpoint has been full of pedestrians and vehicles passing by and being inspected by those government soldiers since Liu Yan arrived, but the time mentioned by Colonel Callum is about the same, but he is referring to the rush hour to enter the city, this time, because of the slow speed of inspection, and the increasing number of people who have to start work after dawn, so that several lanes of the highway in charge of this checkpoint have been lined up.

Despite the fact that the city has been under fire for several times and has been attacked against civilians and military targets from time to time, for the sake of their own and their families' future lives, local civilians have to risk attacks to enter the city through checkpoints to earn a living.

"Install that equipment in front of the checkpoint." Because there are more and more pedestrians and vehicles waiting to pass, Colonel Callum can't talk to Liu Yan as much as he did just now to get closer to the GDI officer, and he also needs to sit in a fortification in the rear to command-in fact, he is afraid that if he stands too close and encounters an attack on himself, he will be affected-although Liu Yan did not hide behind with the colonel, he did not plan to become a live target for others, so he also made some preparations before coming.

The so-called checkpoints, in fact, are made of wood or steel, plus some black and yellow paint, and some anti-impact equipment, a conspicuous barricade set up on the highway, those pillboxes and fortifications, and later the addition of tanks and armored vehicles, are also additional things because of the many attacks that have been carried out here.

But all this did not prevent the attack. Especially the soldiers who are on the front line in charge of inspection, and they are the ones who suffer the most casualties every time there is an attack. This time there were clones involved, and Liu Yan didn't plan to let these elite clones be wasted in such a mission.

A few of what looked like car batteries were placed by the clones in front of the nearest barricade, and then a pot-shaped antenna was inserted into it—a type of security equipment designed by the Technical Department specifically for security warfare, which could jam most civilian radio signals within a radius of 300 meters, making it impossible for remote-controlled bombs to detonate them.

In addition to this jamming equipment, some armored units are also equipped with additional devices on their hardpoints, which can allow these individual dynamic armor to detect unprotected or lightly protected targets within a distance of 20 meters, so as to detect whether there are explosives on the target in advance, and the detection success rate can basically be more than 70%.

In order to protect its soldiers from suicide bombings and roadside bombs, the GDI technical department is racking its brains.

Although there were all kinds of worries, the morning inspection work was quite successful, which made Liu Yan somewhat relieved, if they could spend the three-day inspection mission time safely, then after handing over the jamming equipment and detection equipment, they would be able to return to the base, continue to test weapons on the surface, and secretly investigate the base commander, Major General Carlson.

But after lunch, something wasn't quite right.

First, the clones who were inspecting the checkpoint with the local government soldiers noticed that the atmosphere around them was suddenly abnormal, the number of pedestrians on the road had dropped sharply, and the number of vehicles entering the city through this section of the road had also decreased. But this does not mean that the rush hour is past the city. Not everyone in this area has a car, at least because most of the residents are impoverished due to war and other reasons, so most people who go to work in the city still use public transportation and walk.

So the number of cars has decreased, if it is normal, and the number of pedestrians has decreased dramatically, which makes Liu Yan a little nervous, he has also been stationed elsewhere in the Middle East before, although the place he went to was safer, but it was also a frequent battle, but on a smaller scale. Although the United Nations has successfully restored the apparent peace here by force, when the GDI's attention shifted to Europe and the Americas, the situation in the Middle East deteriorated to an even worse state.

Liu Yan didn't think that Kahler City, which had been regarded as a hard-hit area from above, would be safe, otherwise he would not have been sent to this place.

So when he noticed that something seemed to be wrong, he immediately found Callum in the command headquarters and asked the other party to order the entire checkpoint personnel to be vigilant, and asked the other side to send two tanks to the front of the checkpoint to increase heavy firepower.

Through the information provided by the GDI Intelligence Bureau, he still knows some information, although the Brotherhood provides arms to the regional rebels, but after all, the other party is just a private secret organization, even if there are many multinational large-scale enterprises involved, but their manpower and material resources cannot be compared with the national strength of most countries in the world, not to mention that the whole world is now chasing them, even if they have enough productivity to provide arms for all rebel groups, but to transport so many things to various places, It can easily be discovered by the intelligence agencies of various countries.

Therefore, no matter how fierce the fighting here is, those rebels cannot have too many advanced weapons in their hands, and most of the equipment used by the rebels is not much different from before, and the most encountered by GDI is still the AK series, RPG series, Type 63 series, and various homemade weapons, as well as some equipment left over from the defeat of local government forces.

The small number of advanced weapons in the hands of the rebels are basically only used at the most critical moments, and those "good" things are not easily used in ordinary attacks and engagements, so Liu Yan is not too worried about the rebels attacking checkpoints with advanced weapons - although the equipment left behind by the local government forces is enough to cause headaches.

Liu Yan's reminder, Colonel Callum naturally couldn't ignore it, not to mention that it was not peaceful here. On the one hand, he asked all the personnel at the checkpoint to be more vigilant, and sent two M1 tanks that had been purchased from country M to the front of the checkpoint to strengthen the frontal fire of the checkpoint, and on the other hand, he ordered two Apache to take off and be responsible for guarding the sky above the checkpoint.

Colonel Callum cooperated like this, and Liu Yan certainly didn't just move his mouth to end the matter. While the Colonel was mobilizing tanks and helicopter gunships, he also ordered his clones to continue to lay a few things in front of the checkpoint, such as anti-infantry mines, anti-tank mines, and stationary automatic machine guns, which would reduce the exposure of personnel.

Most of them came this time infantry, and a small number of armored vehicles were basically command vehicles or logistics vehicles, and it was impossible to send them to the front to use them like those tanks. And the hoplites with K-type power armor can't go too far, and against a suicide attack vehicle filled with explosives, that layer of armor is not much different from a piece of paper.

A somewhat dilapidated black SUV appeared at the end of the road just as the checkpoint was busy adjusting its defenses. The SUV was no different from the surrounding civilian vehicles and the civilian vehicles that had passed before, and it was still far away, and it was impossible for explosives detectors to detect anything wrong in advance.

But a second lieutenant of the local government army guarding the checkpoint, a veteran who had survived several attacks, instinctively sensed that danger was approaching them, and quickly focused his attention on the dilapidated black SUV that was mixed in with the traffic - only now that the traffic had dropped sharply, there were few cars on the road, so the SUV was particularly conspicuous.

The second lieutenant climbed into a military pickup truck parked next to him — government forces had tanks, armoured vehicles, pickup trucks were also equipped — and ordered the soldiers operating heavy machine guns above to point their guns at the road, especially those approaching the checkpoint.

Seeing the second lieutenant's movements, the clones who were already on alert focused their attention on the cars coming towards the checkpoint in the distance, but they didn't know which one was the source of the danger, so one large, two, and three drones were released and flew all the way down the road into the distance.

The three UAVs, the large one, are eight-rotor rotor UAVs, which have a certain scanning function, and can scan the structure of objects without special materials or heavy shells at close range, although they do not have the same detection ability as the explosives detectors carried by the hoplite power armor, but the appearance of the scanned explosives, veterans can still judge by their eyes.

As for the other two small single-ducted fan drones, they are attack bee drones that Iron Eagle used to mass-produce before, but now the original 5.56mm small-caliber lightweight machine gun has been replaced by a set of 20mm semi-automatic grenade launchers to increase their attack power at the expense of ammunition load.

Originally, Liu Yan didn't plan to use these drones, because the scanning drones GDI or Iron Eagle didn't produce much, and the military's focus was still on those frontal battlefields, like the use of scanning drones is relatively limited, and it is impossible to produce too many quantities in advance.
