515. Chapter 37 (3)
Ionov could not perceive the inner connection of this series of events, and could only listen to the general concepts that Lodi had instilled in him, and reluctantly, Ionov understood a little.
Lodi's briefing continues:
"Our reconnaissance team determined that the Mi Army special operations team followed this trail, and not long after our scouts followed up, they found a point of convergence between these two unexpected situations, the route of the target tracked by the Mi Army attack team is consistent with the position where the two reconnaissance sentries who got in touch with you found that the convoy was walking at night, it is obvious that this infiltrated Mi Army special operations team, what they are looking for and pursuing is the same as ours."
"We still don't know why the Mi army is so interested in those people, and we don't know how the Mi army found them, and then carried out a decisive air strike on this team, and now Beasley is hurrying to verify this matter, I haven't received the latest report on the progress of the incident here, but this also indirectly answers your question, those people didn't move after dawn, it should be to avoid the Mi army's aerial reconnaissance, to prevent the second air strike."
"Now there is a great possibility, those people did not leave there, if you are now deployed in place, you can attack them first if you are sure of it, and control those people as much as possible, I guess that among those people there should be people or things that the people of the United States want to get, no matter what the people of the United States want, as long as it falls into our hands, we can negotiate terms with them, inferring from the time, it will take some time for those people to rush to you, you have to hurry up and do it."
"The good news is that if the Mi army attacks that escort team, such a fierce blow, I don't think those people will easily retreat, they should have attrition, so your opponent is not as strong as before, after you succeed, no matter what you get, you must transfer as soon as possible, we can't let those Mi people catch the handle."
After breathing a sigh of relief, Lodi said another judgment of his own most important matter:
"There is another possibility, those people may have deceived us again, after luring you there, those people looked for an opportunity to withdraw, and the few broken cars left there were just to create a false impression that they were still hiding there, and this possibility is also very high from your account, so I agree with you to send someone down to check what is going on, to find out if this is a trap is very simple, it depends on whether you will encounter resistance in the process of entering, so your people must be cautious and careful when you go deeper, You must take enough precautions before sending someone to approach there, Io, you know, those people are not fuel-efficient lamps, and you must not be careless. ”
After a few encounters, Lodi has some heart palpitations for this escort team, which is not all because of the consequences of the defeat caused by the light enemy, but also because Lodi has not yet figured out the number of actions of this gang, all he can do now is to wait and see what happens.
Ionov was also afraid of this team, and after obtaining Lodi's permission, Ionov first sent three search teams to the location identified by the two observation posts and hidden by the other party's perimeter guards, and he wanted to ensure the safety of the perimeter first.
Ionov's spook did not have the desired effect, and the location identified by the two scouts was still as quiet as ever, which made Ionov almost believe Lodi's latter inference, and that the men had created another illusion here, and that they had deliberately made a vigilant gesture here for the possible stalkers to watch, so that the stalkers would not dare to approach easily, and when the followers were exhausted, they withdrew from the area.
"A few of you go down, don't all get together, pay attention to each other's strategies."
The soldiers, who had received Ionov's orders, divided into three groups and approached the small mountain village at the foot of the mountain from three different positions, and soon they approached the outskirts of the village.
Before Ionov, who had relaxed a little, could take a breath in his chest, the sudden sound of gunfire from the village made Ionov's nerves, who had just relaxed, tense again.
Standing on a high place, Ionov could clearly see that although the firepower from the village was not strong, several firepower points were just right, forming a good support for each other, and it was almost impossible for his own people to get closer.
It seemed that there were still people on guard in this village, and Ionov was a little confused, so he immediately instructed several other people around him:
"You guys, take a detour from the flank, remember not to reveal your whereabouts, and cut off their retreat after going around."
Judging from the slightly sparse gunfire of the other party, Ionov expected that the other party did not ambush too many people in the village, which is two possibilities, one is that as Lodi deduced, these people on the opposite side have some attrition during the air raid of the Mi army, and the other is that they dispersed their personnel, so as to avoid being braised by the sudden attack, which was already used by the other party when the town clashed with each other before.
Ionov was now engrossed in staring at the players who were moving to the flanks.
Sure enough, before their own team members were in place, those who were guarding the village began to alternately cover the evacuation outside the village, which showed that the other party had responded to the outside of the village, but the disturbance team he had just sent failed to find out.
Although the opponent retreated well, it can be seen that the combat strength of this attack team is not as good as before, they are no longer able to cope with the attacks launched by their team members from all directions, and soon, the response team members who are ambushed in the dense forest outside launched a rescue operation, and those guards hiding in the shadows are trying their best to prevent their team members from outflanking and approaching, and Ionov has seen the looming figure of their people in the dense forest.
A few more of his own men attacked from the front, and the sudden increase in attack power allowed Ionov's team members to quickly occupy a favorable position in the village, and those besieged escorts obviously got some kind of instructions, and those who were still trying to take the opportunity to transfer those cars gave up this unrealistic plan at once, and they quickly converged with several other teammates who were struggling to support them, and with the support of the periphery, they escaped the encirclement that Ionov wanted to encircle and annihilate them. Fleeing into the jungle and disappearing.
It was only at this moment when these people got together again that Ionov once again appreciated the attack power that this escort team should have.
"Don't chase it, look at what they left in the village, I don't want to give up at such a dangerous moment, it must be a good thing, you go in and check it out."
After Ionov had finished his order, he tidied himself up, and began to move slowly down the hill with his men, and he saw that several of his men had driven the cars outside, and were looking through the contents of the cars.
Ionov, who still didn't dare to be careless, moved down while paying attention to the movements around him, and when he looked left and right, Ionov's corner of his eye suddenly noticed a bright light flashing between the sky, and when he looked up, the flash had turned into several black dots, which instantly smashed into the nameless village under Ionov's feet.
"Hide!"
Ionov's screams were drowned out by a huge explosion, and in a trance, Ionov seemed to hear the roar of warplanes crossing the air, and when he looked for the sound, Ionov only saw two silver points of light that were about to disappear into the sky.
The different people who saw and heard this horrific scene in an unnamed village in the middle of the vast mountains showed completely different demeanors and psychological feelings.
Ionov, who had already come to the bottom of the mountain and was about to step into the village, even though he was still some distance away from the village, Io could not avoid the impact of the bomb explosion, he was swept out by a powerful wave of air, Ionov and several soldiers around him were swept into the air by the wind like a few fallen leaves, and several people floated in the air for a long distance before they landed, and after landing, Ionov's blood spurted out of his mouth, and he passed out directly.
In less than ten hours, the two scouts who witnessed the air attack twice were the luckiest, and the two scouts who thought that they had completed their mission did not rush to follow Ionov and the others to the village, which allowed them to avoid the disaster of the pond fish, and the two scouts, who had been frightened to the core, reported everything that happened here to their commander Gru in a trembling voice throughout the whole process.
Gru stood there holding the telephone receiver and was stunned for a long time and couldn't put his hand down, he really couldn't figure out how all this happened, for a while, he even suspected that it was the strike coordinates transmitted by the Chinese escort team to the Mi army, otherwise he couldn't explain why the Mi army's air strikes were so accurate and timely.
Lodi had just hung up the call with Shatov and others when he received a call from Ionov.
The two scouts who followed him were quite righteous, and when they didn't know if there would be a second strike, they couldn't bear to leave those companions behind and cry wolf, so they took the risk and fled out of the village with a few surviving teammates in the broken pickup truck they drove over.
Lodi couldn't imagine what state Ionov was in at this time lying in the bumpy back compartment, saying the words without the next sentence, and his face was like ashes, and after hanging up the phone, Lodi almost smashed the phone in his hand directly into the opposite wall, unlike before, this time Lodi didn't know where the anger in his heart should go.
