More than 10 hours, not long, not short.

When Wang Dong came to the conference room, Xie Chuyue and the others, who were thousands of kilometers away, had already arrived near the mine, and the drone had also arrived.

The drone flew at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, more than 10 kilometers east of the pit.

Although it was only a reconnaissance mission, several air-to-surface missiles were hung during the insurance period.

Having a large UAV can be said to be a big trump card of the "Angu" company.

In fact, this is also the trend of mercenary development.

In the year after the end of the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, Saudi Arabia purchased the "Rainbow 7" UAV from Huaxia, and then donated several "Wing Loong 2" UAVs that had been purchased before and had been used for more than ten years to the "Angu" company, nominally to train UAV operators.

Why?

The supply of drones to mercenaries is a violation of international law.

However, it is not within the limits of international law to find a private security company to provide training services.

Since then, the Royal Saudi Air Force has successively sold dozens of "Wing Loong 2" to the "Angu" company.

It is said that it is for sale, but in fact, it is almost a gift of impermanence, and what the "Angu" company pays is actually just to take over the transportation costs of these drones.

Of course, Angu also provides services in other areas.

For example, these drones are used to support the Saudi army in Yemen.

It's just that Saudi Arabia only provided drones, and the ammunition used by drones, the "Angu" company had to figure it out on its own.

It is precisely because of this that most of the time, the "Wing Loong 2" carried out reconnaissance missions, and rarely carried missiles and bombs to carry out strike missions.

It's not that you can't get ammo, it's that it's too much trouble.

You know, several ammunition factories controlled by D&F will be able to produce Blue Sword missiles for use by the Pterodactyl 2, as well as small-diameter guided bombs.

The problem is that the production and sale of these high-powered munitions are strictly regulated, not that they can be used when they are produced.

Although it was nighttime, the picture was clear.

On the Angolan side, it should be early in the morning.

There are at least three cordons outside the mine, and they are loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and the defense is very well deployed, definitely not like an ordinary army.

Mercenaries, or US Special Forces?

Wang Dong had a bad premonition that Yunlong's guess was not wrong.

Where does a place, if there is nothing particularly valuable, need to deploy such a tight defensive line?

The number of guards is not very large, only a few hundred.

A few hundred people is certainly not much compared to the huge pit.

It's just that this is just the guards who are seen.

If it's the special forces guarding the mines, or some elite mercenary army, there must be a lot of people who have been spotted by drones.

Where are those guys hiding?

In addition to personnel, the guard unit has some heavy equipment.

Judging by the footage taken by the drone, it is mainly a number of wheeled armored vehicles, several of which look like wheeled self-propelled mortars.

And maybe wheeled combat vehicles.

Of course, on the African continent there are many mercenaries with wheeled armored vehicles.

In some war-torn areas, mercenaries can even get their hands on main battle tanks such as the T-72.

The situation is more complicated, and it can even be said to be dangerous.

It's just that for Xie Chuyue and them, it's not a challenge.

The infiltration operation began to go smoothly, and with the assistance of the drone, Xie Chuyue and others successfully passed through the outermost line of defense.

Until the image sent back by the drone disappears.

"What's going on?" Yunlong asked first.

Wang Haotian didn't answer, he was already checking the communication line.

Something wrong with the communication line?

Communicating with drones thousands of kilometers away is a big problem.

You must know that the company "Angu" is only a company, not a country.

If it weren't for the construction of a communications base in Lusaka and the rental of a communications fiber, Wang Dong and his team would not have been able to see the real-time footage in Gwadar port.

When Wang Haotian was checking, Yunlong took out his mobile phone.

However, it's not that there is a problem with the communication line.

Being able to receive a signal from Lusaka indicates that there is something wrong with the drone.

At this time, Yunlong turned on the phone to the hands-free state and put it on the table.

There were gunshots, and explosions.

It's just that no one shouted.

Xie Chuyue and they were exposed?

Wang Dong frowned, and so did the others.

The battle lasted several minutes, and after the last burst of gunfire had dissipated, all that remained was heavy gasps, and the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Brother Chu?" Zhang Zilan stood up.

"He can't hear it." Yunlong reminded Zhang Zilan.

Among the 10 special forces, only Xie Chuyue carried a satellite phone, but he didn't answer the phone at first, and it was Yunlong who activated the phone by remote control.

In the fierce battle, Xie Chuyue couldn't answer the phone.

The footsteps stopped, and the wheezing became heavier.

Then, shouts were heard.

Portuguese is spoken.

Angolans?

Angola was a Portuguese colony before independence, and even after independence, Portuguese was the official language of Angola.

How can there be Angolans in that place?

Wang Dong looked at Yunlong.

At this point, the communication was interrupted.

Yunlong didn't say anything and put away the phone.

Wang Dong let out a long breath, nodded at Zhang Zilan, and asked him to prepare.

Zhang Zilan didn't say much, and called Lei Dong to leave the conference room.

"Fourth brother?"

"I'll get in touch with the top later." Yunlong's face was ugly.

Why?

According to the information he had previously provided, it was the Angolan rebels who attacked South African convoys and kidnapped South African prospectors that led to the South African authorities' rebellion.

It stands to reason that there should be no Angolans in that place.

Is it a trap?

Or, those guys know the origin of Xie Chuyue and the others, and deliberately speak Portuguese?

Whatever it is, it has to be figured out right away.

"We'll go later." Wang Dong didn't blame Yun Long, after all, Yun Long didn't know more than him. "There's news, contact us."

"I'll go with you." Wang Haotian has already packed his things, which is actually a notebook computer specially customized for him.

"When you get there, don't act rashly."

Wang Dong nodded, didn't say anything more, got up and left the conference room.

Luo Qing didn't say much and followed.

When Zhao Huang and Tie Hu were also about to leave with Wang Dong, Yunlong stopped them.

This was a sudden incident, and Wang Dong brought a few dozen people over at most, and they had to stay behind to prepare for the follow-up action, and they couldn't all rush over.

In addition, if it is just a rescue operation, it does not need to go to too many people.

Outside, Zhang Zilan and Lei Dong had already prepared their vehicles and contacted their respective subordinates, and they were all the elites of the "Angu" company.

On the way to the airport, Wang Dongcai contacted the operation staff over there.
