Everyone gathered around the sand table, and Liu Guodong quickly planted four small red flags on the sand table.

It is the four key material distribution centers and temporary storage sites. Yu Songyuan looked at the sand and asked, "Where are the arms and equipment transported to Peshawar from all over the country stored before they are transferred?" ”

Shandra pointed to the entrance to the Khyber Pass gorge on the sand table and said, "The Katyar barracks, located in Shadi Bajiar, a few kilometers from Jamrud. It is also an ancient abandoned fortress, which has been renovated and is very strong. Built by the Sikhs and later repaired by the British, the fort is located next to the entrance to the Khyber Pass Gorge and is directly served by rail. Now it has been repaired and maintained for many years, and it is very strong, guarded by a reinforced infantry battalion. ”

"So, this should be the general distribution center, that is, the main 'wholesaler'?" Lin Tao asked.

Sandra nodded, "Yes, this was the British logistics support base back then. The loan yards are built underground, and the warehouses are very strong. At present, the railway from the railway station to the fortress has been destroyed, and the arms and equipment brought to Peshawar by various countries are now transported from the railway station to the fortress by car, and then transported into underground warehouses for storage. ”

"Has the car transport ever been attacked?" Lin Zhumin asked.

"Nope. Trucking is generally done during the day, and so far there have been no cases of convoys being attacked on the territory of the Halal country. Except, of course, for local thieves and arms dealers. Sandra affirmed.

Yu Songyuan's thinking was basically clear: if the "Lightning" wanted to achieve the tactical goal of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle and attacking the supply of arms and equipment to the resisters and the "Mujahideen", the only way to attack and destroy the underground warehouses of the Katyar Fortress could the tactical goal of cutting off the "grain route" be achieved, so that the resistance organization and the "Mujahideen" could not survive the winter.

But the fortress was guarded by a reinforced infantry battalion, and the warehouse was in an underground cave, and the third group of "Lightning" could not succeed in attacking it with the strength of a small team. It can only be a clever attack or a sneak attack, the question is how will they attack skillfully, how will they sneak attack?

Liu Guodong said, "I think that the most likely attack route to attack the underground warehouse is still the underground pipeline system!" ”

Sandra shook her head and dismissed his idea, "This is a military fortress, not a manor. The army had architectural drawings of the fortress from the time of the year, and had completed the defense construction for decades. Even the sewage pipes have been strengthened. There could be no secret tunnels like the Summer Palace that could be exploited by them. ”

Yu Songyuan looked at Shandra, "First of all, take precautions, and ask Sandra to confidentially inform General ISI Moore of our concerns." At the same time, the garrison of the fortress was quickly notified and fortified tightly. ”

"Good!"

On the fourth day after the brothers team analyzed the next target of the "Lightning" third team, the CIA intelligence station was attacked at the Gates Manor, located on the outskirts of the university district and the new city. This well-planned night attack provided evidence for the brothers to further confirm the accuracy of their judgment and unexpectedly.

That night, it was Liu Guodong on duty, and when there were bursts of explosions and gunshots from Gates Manor, he was about to send a signal to the team, and Yu Songyuan and others had already hurried up.

"About two minutes into the battle, inside and outside the courtyard of the manor, there was a battle, and it was over. There was the sound of continuous firing of sniper rifles in the courtyard, and the sound of grenade explosions on the right side of the courtyard, which was not trivial. Boss, are we going to move quickly? Liu Guodong reported.

The explosions and gunfire have stopped, and there is no intelligence support at this time, where to go?

Yu Songyuan shook his head and did not give the order to dispatch. He looked at his watch, and the luminescent hands pointed to exactly four o'clock in the morning. He instructed Shandra, "Quickly coordinate with Lieutenant Colonel ISI Taylor, secure the scene, and no personnel are allowed to enter without permission." After we have surveyed the scene, uniformed personnel will be able to enter. ”

Half an hour later, Yu Songyuan led the team into Gates Manor by car.

Sandra got out of the car and coordinated with the ISI commander, Lieutenant Colonel Taylor, that the garrison, the police, and the ISI had surrounded the Gates Manor, and sure enough, no one had entered the manor castle without permission. Sandra got into the car, and the SUV drove directly to the front of the building.

When the team got out of the car, Lieutenant Colonel Taylor walked over, Yu Songyuan wore a black hood, and shook hands and greeted him under the introduction of Shandra.

"Welcome Chinese friends!"

Taylor is a middle-aged man in his forties, tall, with a beautiful mustache, a neat tweed suit, a shy belly, and a personable demeanor. He held Yu Songyuan's hand and spoke diplomatic words enthusiastically.

After Yu Songyuan met him, the two walked to the European-style building of the manor together and investigated together.

Liu Guodong, Lin Tao, and Lin Zhumin first inspected the fence, garage and other facilities, and Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin jumped on the roof and wall and carefully inspected them. Liu Guodong inspected the garage and saw that other cars were there, but Gates's GM bulletproof sedan was not in the garage.

Liu Guodong scolded secretly, "This old bastard, he fucking escaped again." ”

Lin Zhumin reported in his headset, "Two hundred meters to the left of the wall, at the edge of the woods, there are nine male corpses. ”

Yu Songyuan was shocked, and he took Sandra and Taylor together, opened the courtyard gate on the left, and quickly came to the scene of the attack at the edge of the woods. Outside, the street lights were dim, and when I walked to the edge of the woods in the distance, I saw nine corpses, seven white and two black. They were shot or blown to the ground in various positions.

It was a full nine-man tactical squad, all armed with a full set of Soviet-style assault weapons, including an SVD sniper rifle. According to the analysis of the situation at the scene, they were tracking the "Lightning" team, and after arriving at the Gates Manor, they were attacked by two snipers on the roof, and before they could return to the woods, they were collectively killed or blown up.

Supposedly, the distance was only 200 meters, and the people on the roof were already within the range of their assault rifles, and even if they were attacked suddenly, they should have a chance to fight back. In terms of posture, they did the same. But the opponents were unscathed, and they were killed en masse. Sandra crouched on the ground and looked at it for a moment, then blurted out, "How is this possible?" That's too difficult, isn't it? ”

"They were sniped suddenly, first cut off from retreating into the woods, and then directly hit the squad with grenades. This is a case of light enemy, ambushed and killed. Even so, it's a bit weird. There are nine of them, even if they are attacked suddenly, they should have a certain lethality if they fight back? Yu Songyuan explained, and his heart was also full of questions.

As a tactical squad engaged in special warfare, it does not leave sniper fire cover, does not let go of sharp knives to reconnoitre, and has no power to fight back after being attacked, which completely surpasses the routine of secret warfare!

Yu Songyuan was judging what kind of people this was, could it be a seal? He first rejects this judgment. Fighting seals in the first island chain is still in front of you. In the case of a direct missile hit by the helicopter and a volley disintegrating, Major Green was able to get out of the way. Even in the case of falling into a coma, he can subconsciously maintain his posture and breathe in the waves.

Green has been captured for so long, how did he do it, Yu Songyuan still hasn't figured it out. Although the M Army is pampered, the training of Delta and Seal is indeed outstanding, how can they be so vulnerable?

Could it be the Central Asian detachment of SAS? At present, in Peshawar, the only regular force with such assault strength, in addition to the seals on the Fifth Fleet in the Persian Gulf, is the Central Asian detachment of the SAS of the British. They all have extraordinary backgrounds, they are all retired soldiers of the British Air Force Special Service Regiment, the German Ninth Frontier Police Brigade, and the French Overseas Legion, and their personal ability is undoubted, how could they make such a low-level mistake?

"This is a mercenary from Baldeagle." Taylor said suddenly.

"Condor? What's the matter? ”

"It is a mercenary company run by a retired colonel of the Delta Force of Country M, and it is also an outsourcing company. The Colonel was a Country M adventurer named La Mathura. Safi. After the collective death of Captain Rooney and the SAS West Asian team, the CIA no longer fought the 'Lightning' head-on. As a result, the Condor Company secretly entered Peshawar. Taylor explained.

"The ISI already has all the information about them?"

"Nope. My squad, after being broken up, fled to Harid. Akram is a resistance group with Ramatura. Safi met there. Later, with his help, he escaped. ”

Yu Songyuan felt dumbfounded for a while, Kelsey was really scheming.

The CIA is in his hands, and it is really innovative and strange. The government of country M has all "stayed out of the matter" by using civilian camel teams for arms transportation and helping the "mujahideen" to activate "civilian companies", but they have also played polar bears around and turned the Islamic Republic of Shanren upside down.

It's incredible that the Condor squad was slaughtered en masse next to the CIA intelligence station, next to the master's side. There is only one explanation that makes sense, and their master, Colonel Gates, the head of the CIA intelligence station in Peshawar, is definitely problematic!

The Condor Squad should have entered the opponent's ambush circle without any precautions according to some agreement.

At such a close distance, you don't need an SVD sniper rifle, just an AKS-74 with an accurate scope, and you can complete a massacre with a high profile. Obviously, after being attacked, the Condor team once wanted to evacuate quickly, but the opponent's grenade exploded in the panicked crowd, and everything was irreparable.

It's a conspiracy between Gates and the KGB, a trap that puts their "civilian" allies in. Seeing that there was no trace of the covering team in the woods, Yu Songyuan was firm in this idea.

"Could they really be Condor? Does Moore know this information? Sandra asked.

"Sure, I just got this information. At the moment, General Moore does not know. Taylor said calmly.

Since the brothers' team has been successful in Peshawar, Shandra's market has also risen. She was the deputy commander and Taylor was the commander. But now Taylor treated her with deference, as if she were a commander.

Yu Songyuan ordered Lin Tao and Sandra to take off the headsets and high-performance walkie-talkies from the Condor members, and then, together with Taylor, returned to the courtyard and began to carefully investigate the bodies of the two soldiers of the M Army Marine Corps in front of the door.

These were two young Marines, one black and one white, who were instantly killed by two crossbow arrows. Accurate marksmanship that hits the heart. In the back wall, there are two small holes, into which the arrowhead has submerged.

It turned out that the guards were instantly shot in the heart when they were standing guard. And the arrow passed through the person, not into the wall yet. When Yu Songyuan checked the arrow hole, Sandra also understood, "It's a crossbow, God, it's so powerful?" She gasped in surprise and exclaimed softly.
