Chapter 771: Successful Convergence
As night approached in Hartu, four trucks carrying supplies slowly drove out of the city toward the Sudan-Eritrean border.
The fourth car of the convoy, when the convoy had just left the city limits, a slightly obese officer sitting on the co-pilot suddenly covered himself and hurriedly ordered the driver: "Hurry up and stop, my stomach hurts to death." β
"But sir, we are ordered to ......"
The soldier in the driver's seat was about to remind, but before he could fully say his words, he was interrupted by the officer, "I can't stand it, hurry up." β
Under the screeching sound of brakes, the truck stopped steadily on the side of the road, next to some refugees who were staying in the wilderness, and the officer couldn't care so much, grabbed the paper towel on the car as soon as possible, opened the door and quickly ran to the grass on the side of the road, and even unfastened his belt as he ran.
Seeing this, the soldier in the cab could only shake his head with a wry smile, picked up a cigarette and lit one, and waited for his commander to return.
However, just after the officer was crouching in the grass and out of the sight of everyone on the road, bin Laden, who had been waiting for him in the grass, quickly exchanged clothes with the other party, and if you look closely, bin Laden, who had taken medicine, was at least eight points similar to this slightly obese officer.
After changing his clothes, bin Laden got up and pulled up his pants and walked towards the truck in the place of the officer.
The soldier in the cab didn't know that his commander had been replaced, and he was concerned: "Sir, are you okay?" β
"It's killing me, let's catch up." Bin Laden said in imitation.
The truck then started again and continued towards its destination.
At the same time, three operational squads have completed the preliminary plan. They are all waiting for the time to come. And in this apart from the direction of Eritrea, in the other two directions. The last two bin Laden stand-ins also began to act. Meet towards the planned rendezvous point.
On the other hand, Natasha, who has successfully entered the Sultan, is wearing a tight-fitting combat uniform, and even her face is tightly wrapped, only a pair of eyes are exposed, and the box she was carrying is no longer there, in her hand, there is a sniper rifle that looks very fierce, maybe it would be more appropriate to call it a sniper gun.
Natasha holding her own weapon in both hands. In Sudan, along the border line with Eritrea, running fast. And she had no intention of hiding her whereabouts.
However, it is very strange that the reconnaissance planes and drones that fly past the sky from time to time do not seem to have found her as a very obvious target, even if they cannot rely on human vision at night to find out, they can only use low-light night vision devices or infrared night vision devices to watch, but Natasha, who is wearing a black tight-fitting combat uniform, seems to have entered a no-man's land.
The combat suit on her body is the same as the weapon in her hand. It is completely able to hide its own heat, and it can also achieve the stealth effect, of course, not that she is completely invisible, but the invisibility of the detection instrument.
And this combat suit can also be adapted to the surrounding environment. Simulated colors, compared to those gilly suits, she has this set of equipment on her. The advanced Cheng dΓΉ is not a little bit.
Simulate the surrounding environment in real time, and there is an exoskeleton to simulate muscles. A person wearing this combat uniform is carrying three hundred pounds of things on his back. Running 100 kilometers in a row will not feel tired. Moreover, it has sufficient power reserves, which can support the continuous and high-intensity simulated movement of combat uniforms for up to a week.
This equipment, Natasha also used this equipment for the first time, and like even the special sniper rifle in her hand, it had always been placed in that long box, and this was the first time she had participated in this kind of overseas mission, and in order to ensure success, she did not hesitate to arm herself all.
A pair of glasses attached to her combat uniform are worn on her eyes, which not only allow her to see at night without obstacles, but also provide her with all the information around her, as well as the task of communication.
Strictly speaking, these glasses, more like a transparent display, have many powerful features.
At this moment, she relied on the coordinates of the two places brought by her glasses to hurry quickly, and she did not slow down because of the rocks and artemisia grass when she ran on the mountain. As she began to smell the sea breeze, she slowed down.
Just as Natasha was about to arrive at the intended location, bin Laden's military truck caught up with the three trucks in front of her, and after some inspection, all four trucks entered the temporary military garrison next to the border, which is the northern customs of Sudan and Eritrea.
These four trucks were to transport food to the soldiers who were on guard and patrol, and when bin Laden entered the temporary station, he began to hand over food to the officers and men in the station as if nothing had happened.
When all the formalities were completed, the grain was almost unloaded, and there was not much time left for bin Laden, because once the grain was unloaded, then he would have to leave with the convoy, and in the event of any accident, his identity might be exposed.
After the handover, bin Laden's face suddenly turned ugly, and his hands couldn't help but cover his stomach, and the logistics captain who was about to go to count the grain saw this, and hurriedly asked: "Sir, are you okay?" β
"My stomach is starting to make a fuss again, you go and count it first, go to the toilet first." Bin Laden's face gradually distorted, and he said with a look of forbearance.
"The conditions of the temporary station are not good, there is no toilet, you can just find a place to solve it." The logistics captain immediately took out a pack of notes and put it in bin Laden's hand, telling him to find a place where no one was there and make a casual decision.
In fact, this situation is very common in Sudan, and in Sudan, where the infrastructure is very backward, there are few announcement toilets that cannot be found, let alone those mobile toilets, there is no such thing at all.
So a lot of times, it's to go to a place where there is no one in the wild, and just make a decision. And when the logistics captain said this, he also felt that the other party was an officer, and the quality of life would naturally be higher, so he explained.
Bin Laden nodded, didn't say anything, grabbed the note, and ran towards the artemisia grass outside the temporary station, the logistics captain saw this, and could only shake his head with a wry smile, and didn't care, turned around and walked to the tent where the baggage was stored, ready to count the supplies.
Bin Laden, who was trotting all the way, directly ignored the soldiers he encountered along the way, and after leaving the camp, he entered the Artemisia Meadows as soon as possible.
At the same time, the patrol line of the team led by Said also slowly moved towards the temporary station, but just when they could already see the temporary station, Said suddenly stopped.
Because a person suddenly came out of the artemisia grass, the two looked at each other, neither of them spoke, Saeed turned directly and moved in the other direction, bin Laden took the opportunity to follow behind the team.
At this moment, the rank on his military uniform had changed to that of an ordinary soldier, and he began to follow them towards the mountain according to a rifle handed over by one of the soldiers of Said's team.
However, just as they were about to enter the mountain, another patrol team came over, and as soon as the two patrols met, the squad leader of the opposite team suddenly asked vigilantly: "Didn't you just go back to the camp, why did you come here again?" β
Said didn't panic, but said in a scolding tone: "Those bastards actually said that we didn't have enough time to patrol, and they must let us patrol again." β
Just this simple sentence, the other party immediately relaxed, and even the other party's squad leader took out a cigarette and put it to Said's hand, and said with a curse in his mouth: "I'm also fed up with those guys in the armored company, you don't know, our brothers have been patrolling for eight hours in a row, and this time I went back to change shifts, and I won't continue to go up the mountain if I say anything." β
"Like, aren't there just a few broken cars? looked like a commanding man, I really thought they were all elites, maybe I really met those terrorists, and I was so scared that I peed my pants. Said took the cigarette, lit it, and said in a hurry.
He had thoroughly understood it long before he went on a mission, otherwise his squad would not have survived until now.
"Forget it, you're tired, let's go back first." The squad leader didn't notice the situation at all, and said goodbye to Said, and soon the two squads staggered.
Seeing this, Said also waved his hand to let his soldiers continue to walk towards the mountain.
However, on the border to Syria, things did not seem to be going well, and just after bin Laden's first stand-in and combat squad converged, while heading to the border with Syria, a drone in the sky spotted the group's strangeness.
A full range of encirclement and suppression ensued, and at the same time, the entire anti-terrorism command center was also notified by the defenders on the Syrian border.
"It was reported that on the border between Syria and Sudan, a suspicious contingent disguised as a Sudanese patrol was discovered, and the Sudanese border forces are currently surrounding this squad."
Panetta also got the news for the first time, and he also rushed to the command center for the first time, at this moment, drones and reconnaissance planes have begun to transmit back the facts, in the barren Gobi hills on the border between Sudan and Syria.
A dozen or so armed men were gathering in a mess of rocks to engage in an exchange of fire with the Sudanese army heading for the encirclement, and among the dozen or so armed men, one of whom had his face wrapped tightly in his face, became the focus of everyone's attention.
From the picture, it can be clearly seen that these ten armed men are protecting this mysterious person in the middle, which naturally highlights the particularity of this mysterious person's identity.
Seeing this, Panetta also showed a little joy on his face, and immediately ordered: "Order the troops of nearby countries to immediately go to support, and at the same time notify the troops on the Syrian side to assist the troops on the Sudanese side to complete the encirclement of the target." Remember, it's best to catch them all alive. (To be continued......)
