Chapter 339: Air Strike
The military police in Baghdad are actually armed police, similar to special police, and belong to the paramilitary force.
Although not very well equipped, he was often sent on the task of protecting dignitaries, and there was a team of well-equipped and well-qualified snipers.
At the time of Said's assassination, it was these snipers who were in charge of perimeter guards.
Like ace units such as the "Mosul" brigade, the snipers of the Baghdad military police use equipment from the United States, such as the M40A3 sniper rifle.
At an effective range of 800 meters, this bolt-action sniper rifle has extremely high accuracy.
"Brother Chu?"
"Got it, don't come out!"
The incident happened suddenly, Xie Chuyue definitely didn't find the sniper, and the snipers of the military and police often move in teams, and there must be more than one sniper nearby.
Outside, the military police who arrived in cars did not advance towards the Speaker's residence, but were firing indiscriminately.
In addition, the snipers did not fire again.
What the hell?
With the cover of snipers, the military police should attack, and there is simply no place for the officers and soldiers of the outer line of defense, that is, the garrisons in the barricades, to hide.
Even if the troops are insufficient, they should first seize the barricades and block the gates of the Speaker's residence.
Personnel can exit through the back door, but vehicles can only exit through the gate.
If you don't have a car, you don't even want to leave the city.
If these military police were the vanguard sent by Karim, they should have launched an immediate attack to prevent Razak from fleeing the Speaker's residence in a car.
It is useless to hide more than a hundred meters away and fire indiscriminately.
Could it be that the military police think that just a few snipers are enough?
If only the garrison is dealt with, it is indeed enough.
It's just that it's not just the garrisons that protect Razak.
Xie Chuyue had already left the low wall where he had begun to hide, looking for a suitable position, and it would not be long before he could find the sniper.
"I've arrived. The tall building in the northwest, the top floor, drove the rats out. ”
"Everybody, Northwest High-Rise, Ready."
With that, Wang Dong opened the safety of the DF8SMG, adjusted to the S gear, and prepared to shoot.
Because Xie Chuyue didn't find the sniper, he only roughly judged the sniper's hiding location, so Wang Dong and them had to suppress the fire.
Under intense fire, the sniper will definitely shift his position, and his whereabouts will be revealed.
"Three, two, one, fire!"
"Da Da Da ......"
……
Dozens of fighters opened fire at the same time, and the gunfire suddenly rang out.
The distance of less than 400 meters is not far at all.
Not to mention the fact that all DF8SMGs are equipped with optical sights with a magnification of 4x, and each operator has low-light night vision.
After running out of bullets in the magazine, Wang Dong shrank back.
"Bang-"
Gunfire came from behind a military vehicle on the left, and it was Xie Chuyue who opened fire.
"Brother Chu?"
"That's it, it's time to come out."
Since there was no enemy fire at the time of firing, it can be concluded that there was only one sniper nearby, or that the other snipers were in an unsatisfactory position.
"Xiaoqing, take him out."
Wang Dong stood up, gestured a few times to the surrounding operators, and signaled to get on the bus and prepare to leave.
Outside the official residence, the officers and soldiers of the garrison were still exchanging fire with the military police, Wang Dong couldn't control them, and the garrison needed to block the military and police when they evacuated.
Soon, Luo Qing and two bodyguards took Razak to the hall.
He was accompanied by Lyanna, who had been invited by Razak and the leaders of the political parties, all of them panicked.
At this time, an operative drove over a bulletproof off-road vehicle specially prepared for Razak.
The car, which had been flown in from Saudi Arabia, had belonged to Crown Prince Mohammed, but had been repainted and the royal emblem had been removed from the car.
Although it is a customized model of the Saudi royal family, it is a toy for Crown Prince Mohammed.
You must know that there are hundreds of luxury cars in Crown Prince Mohammed's underground garage, almost all of which are custom-made, and there are more than a dozen bulletproof cars alone.
This bulletproof off-road vehicle has not been used since it was bought.
After waiting for the car to be parked, Wang Dong walked to the door.
At the gate of the official residence, four armed off-road vehicles were already in place, dozens of other vehicles had been launched, and the operatives were all in their positions.
"Your Excellency."
"Thank you."
Wang Dong just nodded and handed the action backpack he brought to Luo Qing.
Inside is a body armor, a DF6PD, matching sights, an armed belt to place a spare magazine, and a first-aid kit.
This is standard equipment for operational personnel, and it is mainly easy to carry in a backpack.
Like Wang Dong, Luo Qing only carries a self-defense pistol in normal times.
When Luo Qing was ready, Wang Dong opened the door and gestured at the operators on the off-road vehicle at the same time.
The two accompanying bodyguards came out first, walking ahead of Razak, and the assisting operatives brought the operational backpacks prepared for them.
At the same time, one of the operatives went to open the door of the SUV.
These are standard procedures for protecting VIPs, and although it is only about ten meters from the lobby to the off-road vehicle, it is very likely that they will be attacked.
If there is another sniper nearby, it only takes one bullet to take out Razak.
When Razak came out, Wang Dong was on his right.
Judging from his clothing, Wang Dong was no different from other operatives, so the enemies who were ambushed nearby would treat him as an ordinary bodyguard.
Obviously, the sniper will certainly not shoot at the bodyguard next to the target.
After taking a few steps, Wang Dong suddenly stopped.
Luo Qing was slightly stunned, and quickly called the two bodyguards in front of him.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Dong pressed his hand and looked up at the night sky to the north.
Luo Qing was secretly startled, and also looked up at the night sky.
It was late at night, and after the fighting on the outskirts began, the city was powered off, Baghdad was dark, and the stars in the night sky were exceptionally bright.
"Hidden!"
Wang Dong shouted, grabbed Razak by the collar and ran towards the hall.
Luo Qing's reaction was also very fast, and he immediately turned around and followed Wang Dong back to the hall.
In the night sky, there are not only stars, but also a few twinkling navigation lights!
Judging by the speed of movement, not a fighter, but a helicopter, perhaps a gunship.
During the assault on Mosul, Iraq received a batch of US-aided AH-64A helicopter gunships, and since then has also ordered a batch of Mi-28 helicopter gunships from Russia, all equipped with ace units, and the "Mosul" brigade has an air strike battalion equipped with AH-64A.
Outside, the operatives also got out of the car.
If it's a couple of helicopter gunships, staying in the car is waiting for death.
The helicopter was still a few kilometers away, and the noise from the helicopter was masked by the gunfire outside, which was not at all far for the Hellfire missile.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
An explosion rang out, and a bright fire illuminated the Speaker's residence.
That's right, it was a gunship that was killed, and it was an AH-64A carrying "Hellfire".
