Joint Operations Command Center, 10 a.m.!

The "Operation Irene" against Aideed's subordinates is about to begin, and all the officers and soldiers above the squad leader in the base have gathered in the command center.

The supreme commander of the base, Major General Gallison, stood in front of the topographic map at the forefront, and said to all the officers and soldiers: "The two senior cabinet members mentioned by Aideed have now appeared at the Olympic Hotel in Mogadishu. ”

"According to the intelligence, they could have a meeting somewhere in the Baccarat bazaar at three o'clock in the afternoon, and I said probably...... Because according to the current intelligence, everything is in uncertainties, this is the intelligence of the feedback from a third party. ”

General Gareson took a piece of gum and put it in his mouth, hunched over the table, and pointed to the two pictures on it.

"Umar Sharon, political adviser and treasurer, and Hassan Aywa, interior minister, both of whom are senior cabinet members of Aideed, are likely to be there, and they are the targets of our operation."

Glancing around the crowd, General Gareson turned and walked behind him in front of the topographical map of Mogadishu's distribution of forces hanging on the wall.

"The mission plan is the same as before, at 3:45 p.m., the anti-terrorist unit attack team is responsible for storming local buildings and arresting all the suspects inside."

"The Ranger squad under Captain Captain's command must establish a defensive line at the four corners of the target building by 3:46, and no Aideed militia is allowed to enter or leave."

"Lieutenant Colonel McNay's Humvee convoy was in charge of the retreat and had to drive into Hawadi Street at 3:47 a.m., stop in front of the entrance of the Olympic Hotel, and wait for orders. Once the anti-terrorist unit assault was successful, Lieutenant Colonel McNay's men went to escort the suspect into the car. ”

"When all the suspects get into the car, the Rangers immediately gather at the target building, get on the Humvee convoy and rush back to the base, and the entire operation will be over in half an hour."

Speaking of this, General Gareson clasped his hands in front of his chest, seemed a little unhappy, and continued: "In terms of fire support, I have asked Washington to mobilize armored vehicles and AC-130 gunboat aircraft to support, but they did not agree, saying that the movement is too conspicuous. ”

"Therefore...... In this operation, only Black Hawk helicopters equipped with multiple barrel guns were responsible for providing air support and transportation, and the Bird helicopters were responsible for parachuting anti-terrorist units, and observation helicopters transmitted the progress back to the command in real time. ”

"Colonel Harrell." Gareson motioned for the officer next to him to speak, and he sat down in his chair.

"Lieutenant Colonel Mattis, you are responsible for deploying the planes of Unit 160 to provide all air support during the operation."

With the pen in his hand, Colonel Harrell pointed at an officer with medium and long hair and beard, and then said: "I will take a helicopter to the high altitude of the field and be responsible for guiding the ground troops to attack and retreat on a safe route, and that's it." ”

With that, Colonel Harrell nodded at General Garrison to indicate that he had finished speaking.

"Mission-codename, Erin, do you have any questions?" General Gallison looked at everyone present.

"Which building is our raid targeting?" Hutt, the squad leader of the Delta Anti-Terrorist Force, asked.

"All the buildings near the Baraka market are possible, I can't decide where they meet, Sergeant Hute, what do you think?" General Gareson looked at Hutt.

"I didn't ask you to say that." Hute pouted and looked out the window.

In this base, the members of the Delta Anti-Terrorist Force are a little temperamental.

General Gareson seemed to have long been used to it, and turned his head to look at everyone indifferently, and said: "Okay, everyone, listen well, once you arrive at the market, it is equivalent to entering the enemy area, and the entire city will be a threat to you, don't lower the enemy's strength." ”

Hearing this, the Ranger sergeant, who participated in the actual combat mission for the first time, and Iversman, who was temporarily promoted to the captain of the fourth squad, inevitably felt a little panicked in his heart, and swallowed his throat a few times apprehensively.

"Before entering the market, the city of Mogadishu is not a combat zone, and it is important to remember the rules of engagement, and you can only fight back if you are attacked."

After a final reminder, General Gallison reclined back in his chair and said, "Now let's all go down and get ready, good luck, guys." ”

……

2:29 p.m.!

The Joint Operations Command Center received accurate information from the "informant" and determined that the meeting was held in the building on the right street of the Baccarat market on Hawadi Street, two streets to the right of the city café.

The target position was locked, and the commander of the observation helicopter, Lieutenant Colonel Ke, immediately issued an order to Harrell to act: "Dispatch a rapid reaction force." ”

"All attention, Operation Erin begins, repeats, Operation Erin begins." Colonel Haral, who had arrived in the skies over Mogadishu by helicopter, formally issued operational orders to the units participating in the operation at the base.

Inside the Hummer convoy camp!

Lieutenant Colonel McNay, the leader of the retreating convoy, drew a red circle mark on the location of one of the buildings on a topographical map of the city.

Turning to the soldiers of the Humvee convoy behind him, he said: "The target location is in the center of the Aideed militia stronghold, five miles from the base, we can't take the path, we go north and then east to the Circle, and we will wait there at the Olympic Hotel." ”

"As soon as the Delta Counter-Terrorism Force catches the prisoners, we will attack as a team, go to the target building, and bring back all the prisoners and ground troops, and it will be over in an hour."

"In this process, the enemy's militia will definitely fight back, and when the time comes, it will be like a western movie, very lively."

Lieutenant Colonel McNay made a little joke and continued: "I must remind you that there will be a lot of civilians there, be careful to shoot, huha~"

"Understood, huha~"

This group of people are all veterans who have participated in the transportation of materials in the early stage, and they don't have much reaction to this task, as if they have long been accustomed to it, and their spirits are very good.

"Let's go!"

With the order of Lieutenant Colonel McNay, the Humvee convoy was fully operational, rushing to the 12 Humvee military vehicles in the square.

On the airfield of the United Operational Base!

The four Ranger squads responsible for going to the four corners of the target house and establishing a defensive front, under the leadership of Captain Shi, the commander of Company B of the 3rd Ranger Battalion, boarded four MH_60K "Black Hawk" helicopters numbered "Super-64, 65, 66, 67" respectively.

"Guys, be careful, good luck guys!" General Gallison, who had arrived on purpose, gave a thumbs up to the helicopter and turned to leave the airport.

"Rangers are pioneers, move forward bravely, and never abandon their compatriots!" The new squad leader, Iversman, replied loudly.

Seeing General Gallison personally come to see them off, Smith asked curiously and loudly, "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know, he never came to say goodbye." Sergeant Eversman shook his head.

Smith seemed to have some bad superstition in mind, and yelled angrily, "This goddamn bastard! ”

"Man, relax, we'll be fine."

Although Eversman was also a little flustered in his heart, as the squad leader, he had to take that responsibility, even if he was apprehensive.

Inside the helicopter of the third squad!

Squad Leader Di Maso patted a sturdy Ranger non-commissioned officer next to him who looked unusually tired and looked very unmotivated, and shouted: "Hey, Nicholas, cheer up, take the gun in your hand, it's okay, we'll go out for a walk and come back." ”

This Ranger non-commissioned officer, who looked weak, had been teleported by the system, and his energy had been drained by nine layers, and he had never had such a weak torture style.

"Thanks, I'll figure it out!"

Feeling that his whole body was hollowed out and he was faint from hunger, he took off the tactical backpack behind him, took out the military dry food specially prepared in the base just now, and ate it in a big gulp.

The team leader thought that Xing Feng was eating to relieve stress, and it would take a few minutes to travel in the past, so he didn't say anything more.

After the four Ranger squads and the Delta Anti-Terrorist Unit all boarded the planes, more than a dozen helicopters at the airport took off one after another, formed a flight formation in the air, and flew towards the city of Mogadishu, a few kilometers away. ，
