The judgment of the staff officer on duty is not inappropriate, the air force of the allied countries that has been cooperating with them in ground operations, the focus of air strikes has always been on the military fortresses and those dual-use facilities in the southern country, in order to completely paralyze the effective operation of the government of the southern country, this base is naturally also one of the key points of the attack, but to let the staff officer on duty link the few bombs dropped by the allies in the primitive mountains with no military value with the escort team, this staff officer has not such a big brain, and it is not only this staff officer, None of the front-line combat staff officers who remained in the headquarters could understand the actual purpose of the Allied air raid.

In this short period of time, except for the commanders and intelligence analysts of the air base of the United States, the vast majority of the commanders and participants in the air base did not know what the target of this sudden air strike combat mission was, and the commanders of the air base in the United States in a certain country on the European continent were not on the same line as these people. The first element of their decision-making and action formulation is how to protect the interests of the United States from being violated.

On a mountain path in the mountains, two scouts sitting on a modified pickup truck and holding binoculars were looking at the position where the fireworks rose due to the explosion in the distance, and after hearing the instructions of the staff officer on duty, they put down the binoculars in their hands, looked at each other, made a helpless shrug, and then drove down the mountain, and when they climbed over a mountain beam and were about to turn to the mountain road leading to the town, the scout who was sitting in the co-pilot seat and had nothing to do occasionally looked down the mountain, In the dark valley, he saw several points of light moving rapidly in the mountain valley, this scene made him almost scream, this scene made him almost scream, the scout who did not believe in ghosts and gods could confirm that the light moving down the mountain was definitely not a ghost fire, it was a car headlight.

At dawn, the sky had barely turned white, and the convoy arrived at the abandoned village.

There was no special change here compared to when they came, the corpses that had fallen were still lying in their original positions, and there was already a smell of corpses, and Lodi, who had followed the group of people who had passed by here, almost didn't look at the few dead subordinates he had once recruited, and went directly through the village, let alone collect the corpses of these people.

This small village that has been abandoned for many years has long been withered, the climate is suitable for the large and small plants and trees that originally grew in the village, and many places have been almost covered by dense plants, and these cars that broke into the village did not hesitate at all, and each found a place to quickly hide the vehicles between those tall plants and some ruins, and then a few figures quickly dispersed around the village, and then disappeared, and in a moment, the whole village returned to its original quiet state, and at this time, A glimmer of morning glow has just emerged from the distant horizon.

High above the clouds, a plane glides silently across the sky.

Almost at the same time as the convoy arrived at the village, two armed helicopter gunships carrying a task force composed of five army aviation team members, under the leadership of the team leader Lieutenant Vincent, took advantage of the cover of night to reach the depths of the dense forest that had been attacked by several missiles in the early hours of the morning.

After hearing the report of the staff officer on duty, Gru was also initially unaware of the somewhat inexplicable air strike that had taken place in the depths of the dense forest, and the other briefing he received later was a direct cause of his awakening from the comfort of his military bed.

In the middle of the night, there was an unknown convoy passing through the mountains, which must have been an unusual event, and when he saw the location of the convoy marked on the map by the staff officer on duty and the several directions that could be predicted, Gru was almost certain that the convoy that traveled in the middle of the night was the mysterious escort team, and they had broken out of the base under the cover of night.

"Keep up with him, but don't disturb the other party, report your location at any time, and I'll send another team to meet you, and I'll act when the time comes."

This was Gru's death order to the two scouts, and after a while, Gru, who had been staring at the mark on the map, turned to the staff officer beside him and ordered:

"It should not be a coincidence to send a reconnaissance team to the place where the explosion occurred in the early hours of the morning, or to go over and see what is really going on in that place, which is very close to where our scouts found this nameless convoy."

The staff officer agreed, turned around and went out to arrange.

Later, Gru called Ionov, who had fought with the escort team:

"Io, you messed up that incident during the day, and now I still need you to settle it, you immediately form a team and set off, on the way our scouts will inform you of the specific route of travel, with enough people, this time, I want you to strangle those people in this mountain at any cost, I don't care where they came from, where they want to go back, this is my territory, I can't tolerate them to go in and out so recklessly, their behavior has broken through my bottom line, go down and prepare to go."

There was a murderous air in Gru's words.

"Understood! Sir! Thank you for your trust, this time I will never let them escape from my hands again. ”

The shame and anger that had just been suppressed in Ionov's heart were aroused again.

The smoke had almost cleared from the area where the missile had hit, and the few old trees that had been badly damaged were still emitting wisps of green smoke, and by the time several members of the Army Task Force arrived here, the sky was already white.

Through the cameras worn by the team members, the real-time pictures of the attack site were successively transmitted back to a large screen in the integrated command center through satellites, and the base commander General Lid, the director of the information center, Major General Kobe, and some staff officers and analysts all gathered in front of the screen, staring intently at every move on the scene.

"They've been surveying the place three times, except for the overturned car not far away, nothing else has progressed, and nothing of value has been found at the scene, Kobe, it seems that the things we were looking for and the people who carried them escaped there at the moment before the attack, and we didn't find a single sapient wreckage there."

The base commander, General Reed, was somewhat disappointed, and the location signal disappeared immediately after the attack, which proved to be an effective strike, but they were surprised that they could not find any valuable remnants.

"General, they might have found something!"

The slightly excited shouts of Major Henry, an intelligence analyst who had been glued to the screen, interrupted the whispering of Leader and Kobe, and the two of them hurriedly turned their heads to look at the big screen.

On the screen, Lieutenant Vincent and a member of the Army Aviation team are gathered together, the Army member is holding a palm-sized charred object in his hand, and is leaning towards the camera on Vincent's head.

As the soldier turned the object in his hand, one of the engineers said the name of the object in a slightly puzzled tone, because he felt that this thing should not exist alone, and that it should be accompanied by a large array of electronic warfare equipment.

After several comparisons and confirmations, the engineer determined his initial understanding, this thing is the emergency positioning device that should be integrated in the middle of a large number of electronic equipment, under his suggestion, several special combat team members in the depths of the dense forest rummaged through the vicinity several times, but there was no new discovery, those should be integrated, complete sets of airborne electronic warfare equipment are not here, the result is obvious, those highly classified wreckage parts got rid of their last clue to control.

In the depths of the dense forest, there is a line of black shadows quietly approaching here, this is a reconnaissance team that came to the explosion site to investigate on the order of Gru, when there is still some distance from here, they heard the roar of the helicopter, these people who have been a hundred times more careful stopped further approaching here at a long distance from here, through the gap in the forest, they have seen this Mi army team surveying the explosion site, which also surprised them, It seems that the blow to this place is definitely not a simple accidental bombing incident, and there must be a secret here that is not known to the outside world.

The reconnaissance group, which did not dare to approach further for fear of being injured by mistake, hid deep in the dense forest and reported to Gru what they had witnessed.

"Don't go over and contact us yet, we don't know what they're doing here, you pay attention and see what the hell they're doing here."

Gru also began to grow a little big, and in the short period of time that accompanied the appearance of that escort team, this area in the radius has been really lively recently.

Still in that conference room, facing his superiors and colleagues, the base commander said with a little frustration:

"Gentlemen, I think our attack missed, the enemy discovered this hidden positioning device at the moment before our attack, and succeeded in disassembling it, judging from the position of the overturned vehicle, these people should have just fled to the edge of the attack range, and no bodies or residues were found, proving that these people in the car were still able to move, or that they had other companions, but in either case, these people finally escaped with those top secret parts, Our next step is to find their whereabouts in that area as quickly as possible, where the task force has found some new tracks, along which we have ordered them to follow, with further details of the area to be compiled shortly. ”
