Chapter 521: The Journey

When Hou Dasheng woke up again, the convoy was still driving smoothly. I have been preparing for this escort of jackals for a long time. The drone squad is newly established and uses reconnaissance drones. But Hou Dasheng knew that soon a new type of combat drone would be introduced.

It is a new type of combat weapon that can effectively assist in urban street fighting, encirclement and suppression of snipers, and even raids on enemy rear positions. The drone is a small drone with a special device mounted underneath to place the firearm and counteract the recoil of the firearm to ensure accurate shooting.

And the cost of this small drone is not high, the core is its load and the mounted gun platform below. Now this drone is in the experimental stage, and it is only loaded with some small-caliber, low-recoil weapons. But Hou Dasheng believes that over time, the weapon will soon begin to enter the stage of actual combat testing.

The advantage of miniaturization is that they can fly at low altitudes in a large number of sorties. Enter the combat area from multiple angles and carry out a direct attack. Even if it is lost, the cost is still acceptable compared to human life. Maybe...... In the future, in more areas of warfare, the mode of manpower warfare will be much lower.

However, Hou Dasheng is not in the slightest worried that mercenaries will lose the market. As long as there is war, as long as there is a state. Then the market for mercenaries will always exist. Perhaps the mode of mechanical warfare will be popularized. But the manpower that enters the battlefield to clean up will never disappear.

At this time, it was already noon, and Hou Dasheng could see the long yellow sand outside the road through the car window. On both sides of the road, there are numb people everywhere. There were also men with guns and hostility, dressed in local robes. But when the eyes of someone in the convoy fell on them, they wisely avoided the gaze that looked at them.

Quite simply, none of the jackals are good at stubble. And don't expect them to be like those rookies who think you're in danger and only be wary of you. If you make them feel like you might be in danger, these jackals won't hesitate to take you out first. This is the difference between the old mercenary guy and the army to which the country belongs.

There are only two things they have to do: first, to ensure that the task is completed. Second, ensure that you and your comrades-in-arms survive. These two are the priority conditions for all their actions. Under these two iron laws, they will not hesitate to remove all possible threats.

They are in a fighting state at all times, and can take out anyone who might pose a threat to them at any time. Carrying a firearm and with an unfriendly gaze. If you are still staring at them at this time, then the result will be directly killed by them without hesitation.

So, the guerrillas with guns wisely chose to avoid their gaze. They also received an order from above, this is a convoy of trade and transport, not to attack. Hou Dasheng doesn't really care, whose name is this. He didn't plan to do the arms business anyway.

"Six kilometers ahead, about 700 meters to the right, there is an oasis. Our guys have already checked there and there are no problems. We can take a break for a while. Soon, the headset came to the front as a contact signal for the pathfinder force. This is the internal line of the jackal, and all communication is in code.

But I heard another voice in the headphones soon: "The drone reconnaissance team reported that no anomalies were found in the nearby area." ”

"The ground reconnaissance team has checked and found no anomalies." Hou Dasheng held down the earphones and said softly: "Don't get out of the car, send all the food and drink." If they want to breathe, it's best to come out at night. It's too dazzling now. Each team takes turns to explore the way, and the drone team pays attention to the battery level. Guaranteed uninterrupted detection. ”

"Understood!" After giving these orders, Hou Dasheng quickly got a response. After the convoy drove for a while, it quickly found the marker placed by the team in front of it. Then the vanguard convoy slowly started and drove towards the oasis on the side.

The convoy behind them turned their heads together. It was at this time that a hurried voice suddenly came from Hou Dasheng's headphones: "No! All convoys stop first! The drone team finds the problem! Damn, it looks like a sand dune just moved! Repeat, the convoy temporarily stopped advancing! ”

"Everybody stop! The squad immediately searched, and everyone was in combat mode! Hou Dasheng frowned suddenly, and roared in a deep voice: "If you find something wrong, you will directly conduct fire reconnaissance first!" Do you understand?! Attention squads, assemble the convoy! ”

The drone that was originally in front of the convoy suddenly slowly leaned towards an inconspicuous sand dune on the back. The drones used by the jackals are specially modified and painted. When released in mid-air, the paint on their bodies will not even make people notice their presence.

Moreover, the rotors are made of special materials, and they are almost silent in flight. Therefore, they are not so easy to spot when they are lowered in height.

"Access to the real-time image of the drone!" Hou Dasheng commanded coldly, and then turned the chair to a monitor. Soon, the monitor in front of him appeared with real-time footage from the drone's camera.

This is the back of a sand dune that looks indistinguishable from other dunes. The midday sun shone directly on the dunes, and the scorching wind gently lifted the yellow sand on the dunes. It all seems so normal. After staring at the screen for a while, Hou Dasheng suddenly heard the sound of a fork in the headphones: "No. 2 machine, fifteen degrees at eight o'clock!" Turn around! ”

"Cut me to machine two!" Hou Dasheng's heart was cold, and the fork would not ask for no reason. He had this request, and he must have found something: "No tangible evidence is needed, fork!" Give me a test of firepower! Go for a few grenades! ”

By this time, the convoy had come to a complete stop. At the same time as Hou Dasheng's order was given, several men quickly rushed out of the car, and then set up a grenade launcher, "tom tom tom ......" a burst of bombardment, and a few muffled grenades were heard, and the grenade drew an arc in the air and flew towards the position that Hou Dasheng saw. The accuracy doesn't need to be too high, Hou Dasheng just wants to test whether there is a problem there.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble!! ......" Suddenly, clouds of yellow smoke exploded on the sand dunes. But under the yellow smoke, there were also clouds of blood mist. Terrible screams began to sound in the dunes. Hou Dasheng's eyes slowly turned cold: "All units pay attention and protect the target." The rest of the squad immediately went into battle! ”
