Chapter 72 Evacuation of the Embassy
War is a huge meat grinder for junior officers and soldiers.
- Marshal of the Red Army of the former Soviet Union Zhukov
The joint detachment and the logistics support team arrived at the base almost at the same time, and the 7th Squadron arrived at the base early, but after hearing the news of Lao Song's sacrifice, no one closed their eyes that night.
After the arrival of the support team, the staff began to unload the equipment in full swing and set up a temporary command system, so that the signal could be established as a relay to transmit the helmet video of the joint detachment to the command hall in real time.
It's only the second day of the coup d'état in Pakistan, and it has to be said that their speed is already very fast.
The war began, and Lin Xinquan finally persuaded General Andayak, and the United States intervened in the war in a justifiable way......
The first battle began at noon, when the Skaard Brigade, one of General Andayak's old men, launched an attack on several surrounding forces without warning.
The sound of gunfire resounded in the sky, and the soldiers attacked under the cover of tanks, and countless soldiers fell in pools of blood from the charge.
War is like that, unusually cruel. General Zhukov said that war is a huge meat grinder for junior officers and soldiers. The reason is simple, junior officers and soldiers are nothing more than pawns, and the commander is the one who plays chess.
It is not too much to say that the war is a meat grinder, that one shell fell, and the pit smashed was not dug out like in the TV series and movie, and the people around were bloody and fleshy on the spot, and hundreds of people could be killed and injured in a single charge.
This is no longer a special operation, but a large-scale corps operation, and those who have really experienced the war will no longer want a war, and the most terrible thing is not to die on the battlefield, but to survive on the battlefield, but to continue.
So to borrow a phrase on the Internet, friends who are always shouting at war, turn off the air conditioner first.
Of course, before the start of the war, there is one more important thing to do, and that is the embassy in Pakistan.
In the morning, the headquarters decided to evacuate all embassy staff before the start of the war, and similarly, the US military also has a consulate in Pakistan, and both sides are busy with their own evacuation work.
The members of the embassy guard also stayed up all night, the lights in front of the embassy at night were bright, and they always felt that the slightest flicker was provocative, and they stayed up until dawn and finally received the news of the evacuation.
But to count on the madman who staged the coup d'état? Of course it was impossible, Mallory refused all requests for evacuation from the embassy, and even said that the lives of anyone who evacuated the embassy without permission would not be guaranteed.
There were only two transport helicopters in the base, and there was no clue about the evacuation plan until the decision was made to evacuate the embassy, and if the helicopters were parked directly inside the embassy, it would be impossible to see what the government forces outside could do.
"It's enough to go to three detachments, not to mention the trouble of going, and it's easy to be exposed." Li Jianhui looked at the embassies on the map, and there were embassies and consulates of four or five countries nearby.
"But if there is an accident, those three detachments may not be able to cope with it." Liu Tianxiang pointed to the map: "There are about hundreds of government troops gathered outside the door, if there is a real fight, how can we ensure the safety of dozens of staff?" ”
"No, it's too dangerous to run around with them, and you have to let the helicopter get closer."
"Look at this." Liu Tianxiang pointed to the structure of the embassy that had just been printed.
Li Zhijun was very familiar with this kind of thing, and leaned over to take a look: "Sewer? ”
"Looks like it's going to have to be washed up." Li Jianhui said with a smile.
The two helicopters took off again, this time using Li Jianhui's suggestion, and went to only three detachments, two detachments of the first special detachment and the anti-terrorist brigade.
As for the reason, Li Jianhui said very clearly: The possibility of the helicopter being shot down in this evacuation is too great, and if the two helicopters are aimed at the helicopter used to transport the staff, then the helicopter carried by the joint detachment will definitely block the front, and the casualties at that time will not be accurate.
"You'll need to evacuate through the sewers with your staff, and we'll pick you up at the exit of the sewer, two blocks away from you." On the helicopter, Liu Tianxiang and Chen Sheng were talking on the phone.
"Roger, we're working on evacuation."
Inside the embassy, staff burned important documents, ashes and smoke flew away.
"Quick, quick, everybody move faster." The ambassador directs the staff to burn important documents.
"Ambassador, what about the local staff?" The secretary walked up to the ambassador and asked softly.
The ambassador looked outside, then at them who were helping them: "You can't leave them here, it's too dangerous, you have to take them with you." ”
"But ......"
"It's okay, we just need to take them to safety." The ambassador interrupted the secretary and shook his head.
"The sewers are in this location." Chen Sheng pointed to the structural diagram.
"But there's no way to get people in here." The team next to him measured the distance.
"Blowing up the ......"
Three hours later, Liu Tianxiang informed Chen Sheng that he was about to arrive, and the evacuation began with a loud bang inside the embassy.
"Quick, keep up." Chen Sheng commanded everyone to jump into the sewer with their noses covered, and turned to the ambassador: "I'll leave it to you here, I'll go outside and have a look." ”
Fortunately, the embassy was soundproofed very well, at least the government troops outside did not react to the loud noise, and it was still in that state.
"It's almost there." A member of the team ran over and said to Chen Sheng.
"Let's go." Chen Sheng nodded.
"There are RPG attacks." The pilot shouted in English as he steered the plane to dodge.
"How far is it?" Liu Tianxiang asked tightly, grasping the handrail.
"Two blocks!" The pilot dodged the RPG and straightened the plane.
"Send us down, we'll cover you."
"Where are you going?"
"Rooftop!"
Dodging an RPG does not mean that there is no more, the surrounding government forces are gathering in this direction, and the helicopter does not dare to hover, so it simply stops directly on the roof of the building.
"Good luck and see you soon." The pilot gave a thumbs up.
"Two blocks, the second team and all the snipers stay, the rest of the team goes downstairs." The helicopter was so loud that Liu Tianxiang had to shout.
Da
Bang, a government soldier armed with an RPG on a roof in the distance was shot in the head by Liu Yi, and all the snipers stayed, just to snipe the RPG at a high altitude and cover the helicopter.
"Spread out." Li Jianhui rushed to the staircase and shouted.
The government troops on the street were dealing with the top of their heads, and before they could react, they were almost surrounded by the time they did.
The team members who rushed out of the building quickly ran to the sides and outflanked the convoy on the street, only two trucks and two dozen people, and they were quickly unable to parry in the face of such a simultaneous attack.
"Resolve the battle quickly." Liu Tianxiang gave the order for the final attack.
Li Jianhui led a detachment out from the left side, thinking that the government troops who were waiting for support did not expect to be damaged so quickly, and the last few remaining were so desperate that they had no power to fight back.
"Empty."
The last few government troops leaning behind the truck also fell to the ground.
Whoosh, another RPG came out, and the government army had learned so well that it did not launch in an exposed place like a rooftop, but chose to be in a room at a high place.
But fortunately, this RPG was dodged again, in fact, such an attack does not pose much of a threat, and for such a weapon that cannot be locked, only a few salvos will have some effect.
"We're not much use here." Shen Tao looked at the RPG that came out.
"We're going down!" Li Zhijun nodded and shouted into the walkie-talkie.
"Roger." Liu Tianxiang responded as he ran.
The team ran wildly while the government forces were not yet reinforced, running as far as they could.
"I don't see the target." A military truck rushed out of the corner in front of him, and Liu Tianxiang raised his hand and hit it.
"Not yet, it's still ahead."
"Keep going!"
Soon the second detachment also followed, and the government troops in front of them gathered in this direction, not many in number, but at least a hundred people.
The sewer opening is right in the middle of the street, which is definitely not a good place to evacuate, but fortunately, the street is not too wide, and the team members are a little difficult to use on both sides of the street.
"Go inside the building on your own and look for a firing position." Liu Tianxiang also discovered this problem and quickly gave a solution.
Bang, the team members kicked open the closed door, and now they can't take care of the panicked ordinary people inside, the language is not comprehensible, and it is useless to say anything.
"We've got to get some cover." Li Jianhui looked at the more and more government troops gathering here, and he would never want to get people out if he did this.
"Push the cart to the middle!" Li Zhijun looked at the several cars parked around him.
"Cover!" Cheng Xiang shouted.
Bang, Cheng Xiang smashed the car window with *, opened the car door and put down the handbrake, and several team members went up and pushed the car to the middle of the street.
But this car is not bulletproof, not to mention, and it is simply not enough.
Smack, a bullet hit Liang Guang, who was helping to push the cart.
"Grass." Liang Guang screamed, and was quickly pulled back by Cheng Xiang.
Fortunately, the distance is long, and at this distance the body armor plays a role, and Liang Guang is only a skin trauma.
Soon, the attack of the government army was thwarted again, and the government army on the other side was basically wiped out under the greeting of bullets and * from the team members.
More cars, garbage bins, and other usable things were pushed to the middle of the road as cover, and the last few remaining government troops in the distance did not dare to attack, so they could only watch and wait for reinforcements, and the joint detachment did not intend to counterattack and annihilate them, because it was only short-lived, and more government troops would come to support later......
