Chapter 169: Indestructible
The camp of the Kalashnikov team was a village, to be precise, a village was occupied. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The village is more than 30 kilometres north of Hos, less than 10 kilometres from the road north to Saada.
It is not very large, with only a few dozen inhabitants, and the cottages are very simple, mostly made of mud and stones, and only a few are brick buildings.
As in other villages in the area, almost every household has a sheepfold.
In this barren land, goats are everything.
Even now, the number of goats is the main indicator of a family's standard of living.
According to the Saudi special forces, in the remote mountainous area of Al Jawf province, fifty goats can be exchanged for a woman, and only one hundred goats are required to kill a person.
In fact, there is also farmland outside the village, where wheat is mainly grown.
It's just that the yield is frighteningly low.
The main reason is drought and lack of water, and for many years the CD is not harvested.
It's summer, and there's only weeds in the fields.
Wang Dong was hiding in a piece of farmland, and Luo Qing was more than ten meters away from the right rear.
Xie Chuyue and Zhao Huang were also hidden in the northeast of the village, and they were not discovered by the people in the village.
There was a smell of blood in the air, but no smell of gunsmoke, indicating that the battle had been over for a while, and there must be unburied corpses in the village.
This is a Houthi stronghold?
Theoretically, all towns and villages in northwestern Yemen, especially in the northern regions of Al Jawf, Saada, and Sara provinces, are Houthi strongholds.
Quite simply, the Houthis are from these towns and villages.
Before the outbreak of the civil war, the Houthis were all civilians, busy with life, enduring and coping with all kinds of hardships.
For a variety of reasons, these people took up arms and became armed men.
However, Yemen's civil war has lasted for decades, the Houthis have existed for more than a decade, and the villages, including women, children and the elderly, have remained in the villages.
Not to mention young and strong men, even teenage children have gone to the battlefield.
Perhaps, the village was really a Houthi stronghold, where armed elements were present when the Kalashnikov group arrived.
After observing for a while, Wang Dong retreated lightly.
The movements were very slow, and Wang Dong kept staring at the mercenary more than a hundred meters away.
Of course, with Luo Qing covering behind, safety must be no problem, Wang Dong just doesn't want to expose his whereabouts, and it is not yet time to kill.
The large army was a few kilometers away, and it took more than an hour to walk back.
Wang Dong and Luo Qing returned first, and Xie Chuyue and Zhao Huang were half an hour late.
By the time they returned, it was already dark.
Because there were dozens of mercenaries, Wang Dong did not let Wang Haotian use small drones, after all, in the daytime, drones would definitely be discovered.
Approaching reconnaissance, the effect is not very good.
The main observation angle is that if you are ambushed outside the village, you can only see the enemy at the entrance of the village at most, and you can't grasp the situation inside the village.
Fortunately, there is another way.
After dinner, Wang Dong went to find Wang Haotian.
"A few minutes to go." Wang Haotian hadn't finished eating, and after Wang Dong came over, he put down the lunch box.
"Don't worry, you eat first." Wang Dong took out a cigarette.
A few minutes, it quickly passed.
When the screen of the military computer was lit up, Wang Haotian had just finished dinner.
Soon, a picture appeared on the screen.
From a "Pterodactyl" 2 drone, but this time it was not a "hijacking", but authorized by the Saudi Air Force, that is, Wang Haotian gained control of the drone.
It's just that this "Pterodactyl" 2 did not carry missiles.
It was a village with hundreds of villagers, not a Houthi stronghold, and the Saudi authorities clearly did not want to be burdened with bombing civilians.
Accidental bombing is one thing, but deliberate bombing is another.
Wang Haotian operated on the computer, and the image was enlarged and became clear.
"The up and down keys are to zoom in and out, use the spacebar to switch cameras, and the enter key is to take a screenshot, you operate it yourself, I'll go and make it convenient."
Without waiting for Wang Dong to react, Wang Haotian hurriedly ran away.
It looks like I'm about to lose my breath.
This guy!
Wang Dong shook his head with a wry smile and called Luo Qing, Xie Chuyue and Zhao Huang over.
The drone is at high altitude, and at night, using low-light and infrared cameras, the picture is clear, but the resolution will not be high.
At the very least, don't try to see what the person looks like.
Of course, you don't need to see it clearly.
On the low-light screen, you can see the weapons carried by the mercenaries, and you can make a rough judgment from this.
In addition, the mercenaries were tall and free, and the villagers were small and could certainly not move around the village at will.
It's just that there are only mercenaries in the village, and there are no villagers.
"What about the villagers?"
Wang Dong frowned, this is not a good thing.
"Here, enlarge this place." Xie Chuyue pointed to it, it was a village house with a large area, and it seemed that it should be a brick building.
It's just that Xie Chuyue was referring to the sheepfold behind the cottage.
Blocked by the building, only a corner of the sheepfold was photographed.
Still, it's enough.
"Corpses?"
Xie Chuyue nodded and said, "Obviously, all the villagers are dead, and even if there are survivors, I'm afraid they have suffered inhuman torture." ”
Luo Qing gritted his teeth, and Zhao Huang's expression was also very angry.
"This team of people should be Saudi special forces." Wang Dong was talking about more than a dozen people in the northwest of the village. "Now, there will be no more than thirty mercenaries in the village, that is, those of the Kalashnikov team. If nothing happens, it won't be difficult to kill them. ”
"Enter from the southeast and northeast, leaving a few men and two machine guns in the southwest." Xie Chuyue said.
Wang Dong nodded and said, "Infiltrate in, kill the most threatening snipers and machine gunners, and capture the leader of Kalashnikov's team by the way." ”
"In that case, we must set off as soon as possible and end the battle before dawn."
"Hand over the madman and the man's wife, and get ready."
Xie Chuyue didn't say much, and called Zhao Huang and walked away.
At this time, Wang Haotian ran back.
gave him some instructions, mainly to prepare a small drone so that after the "Pterodactyl" 2 left, he could continue to monitor the enemy.
In addition, it is to provide intelligence support after the start of the battle.
Subsequently, Wang Dong went to find Churkin and Captain Aziz, who led the Pakistani special forces after Musharraf left.
He was indeed a captain and an old subordinate of Musharraf.
Although it joined relatively late, it was deeply valued by Musharraf.
It is not surprising that the two men fought side by side at the Kargil Pass, and both were almost killed, and the friendship forged by blood and life is indestructible.
Wang Dong did not let Aziz participate in the infiltration operation, but let him lead the Pakistani special forces to cover the perimeter.
It's not that Captain Aziz can't do it, but someone has to cover outside, and he has to be an absolutely reliable person.
