Chapter 44: Desperate Survival
When the rear plane was about 200 meters away from the position, Lin Tao suddenly ordered, "Missile launch!" ”
Two missiles took off into the air and flew towards two helicopters. The wind was too strong, and there were high mountains on both sides, so the plane did not dare to maneuver, so it could only fire decoy bombs and accelerate as hard as possible, trying to get rid of the attack with speed. But at such a close distance, the decoy bombs did not help at all, and the two missiles drilled straight into the body of the helicopter, and the planes all exploded in volley.
However, just as everyone was waiting for the plane to explode for a few tenths of a second, Lin Tao's head was almost blank, and he shouted miserably, "All hidden......
It was still too late, and before he could finish speaking, a tragedy happened.
It turned out that just when he knew that he was about to be hit and had nowhere to escape, the plane behind him lowered its nose at the same time, and two strings of sparks flew towards the missile position. At the same time as the plane exploded violently, a string of S-24 rockets hit the igloo and the position, and at the same time as the two violent explosions of "boom" and "boom" in the air, a violent explosion of "boom" and "boom" also occurred on the ground, and the smoke quickly flooded the missile sniper position.
Smoke billowed from the canyon and it was completely submerged by a violent explosion. Lieutenant Razak Hussein, who was only 23 years old, was killed instantly after being hit directly by a rocket. Captain Bilal Mohammed was seriously wounded in the leg, which was not blown off, but was wounded to the bone.
The rest of the personnel, including Lin Tao, Lin Zhumin and Lana, all members of the team were injured by shrapnel. The camp had been completely destroyed by a dense rain of rockets and 30mm cannons.
This power is terrifying!
Lin Tao and his team members were deeply shocked by the Mi-24P pilot's spirit of seeing death as if they were at home and their superb tactical literacy. This is the moment when the plane is out of control, the last fight without hesitation.
Before the smoke was gone, Lin Tao quickly organized self-rescue and helped Captain Bilal, who was already unconscious, to stop the bleeding and bandage. and gathered away the scattered fragments of Lieutenant Lazak's body. According to Lin Tao's order, Lin Zhumin quickly sent a telegram to Shandra and Mao Yankai, "Destroy two more enemy planes, I am killed and seriously injured, and the rest are slightly injured, ask for support!" ”
Mao Yankai and Shandra both quickly called back, and Mao Yankai's message was, "Two air defense battalions of the army are rushing to help." Quickly save yourself and stay on standby! ”
Shandra's message read, "I am leading the assault team from the border to help, and at the same time cutting off the border air passage. The tribe is armed from the south to help, and you are ordered to hold on and wait for help! ”
Four rescue teams rushed to the aid from three directions at the same time, and the order was "Hold on and wait for help!" ”
Lin Tao quickly ordered another telegram, "There are wolves, traps, and mines in the canyon, please support tomorrow!" ”
Although the message was sent, Lin Tao was anxious.
The temperature is getting lower and lower, the wind and snow are getting heavier and heavier, it is almost minus 20 degrees, the huts, equipment, and food are all destroyed, and all the personnel are injured. Lin Tao, Lin Zhumin, Lana, Khatib, and Sabusiddin were slightly injured, and Captain Bilal was seriously injured and lost too much blood, and if he did not get out of danger as soon as possible, he was in danger of freezing to death.
But it was getting dark, and the top of the mountains and the valleys were full of traps, and it was impossible to march at night. If you don't establish a solid defensive position as soon as possible before dark, the wolves will kill the team if they take turns attacking in groups. Another igloo had been blown up, and Lin Tao was full of remorse. If you keep it and don't blow it up, at this time, it just comes in handy.
"Build an igloo quickly and fight to stand by before dark!"
It was getting darker and darker, and Lin Tao didn't dare to hesitate. He immediately made a decision, shouted loudly, and began to cut branches with his diving knife. Major Khatib said with tears in his eyes, "Captain Lin, Captain Bilal is still unconscious, he has lost a lot of blood. If he doesn't get out soon, he's going to die......"
Lin Zhumin hugged him and said, "Major Khatib, the captain's disposition is correct. If we had ventured to walk at night, we would have been able to break out, and Captain Bilal would have frozen to death. ”
There was no longer any dispute, and the remaining trunks were quickly woven with branches to weave a windshield wall, and soon the hut was basically formed again. Rana and Sabusiddin kneaded the snow into large snowballs and quickly leaned against the windbreaker wall made of tree branches. The top was topped with broken tent cloth, and branches were pressed on top of it.
The wind and snow were kept out of the hut, and Sabusidin lit a bonfire on the stones inside the hut, and by the time it was completely dark, the hut had been quickly buried by the wind and snow, and a strong defensive position was finally formed.
Lin Tao let out a long sigh, now in order to survive, he must fight with the sky, fight for survival in a desperate situation, and bring the team back.
At both ends of the canyon, the glittering light, the sound of hissing and fighting, one after another, was that the wolves were tearing and snatching the corpses of the fallen special forces of Spatesnaz. The wolves had to be brought over, and after the battle, the squad was hungry and cold, and what they needed most was food.
Bang a few shots, Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin aimed at the nearest wolf pack and shot separately. Two wolves were defeated. Rana threw another grenade, and after a "boom" explosion, they quickly rushed over. The wolves had scattered and fled, and they returned with the two wolves.
Shandra's message also came, "There are many canyon collapses and traps, and all departments have been ordered to rush to the aid tomorrow, and you are ordered to hold on to the spot!" ”
Lana, Lin Zhumin and others were all cutting and barbecuing wolf meat, and Lin Tao held the message, as if he could see Shandra's anxious and helpless face. He quickly replied, "Positions have been built, and the defense is strong. Please stay safe! ”
At this moment, Sandra and more than thirty people had already made it to the border canyon with great difficulty. However, it was already dark, and the valley was full of traps, and every step was frightening, and just half an hour after entering the valley, a squad of avant-garde all fell into traps, and finally rescued six people, one of whom was missing, and it was difficult to find them.
After advancing another two or three hundred meters, a sharp soldier stepped on the thunder, and with two loud "booms" and "booms," the mines exploded, and another mine was quickly detonated. Of the six agents of the vanguard squad, three were killed, one was seriously injured by the blow and two were slightly injured.
Sandra was about 100 meters away from the avant-garde class, and the loud sound of the explosion made her unsteady on her feet, and she stumbled and almost fell. Hamad and Buna hurriedly held her up and used their bodies to block the way.
The minefield planted by Agent Spetsnaz blocked the way for the commandos to rush to help.
Seeing that it was already dark and the surrounding light was flickering, Sandra reluctantly ordered to rescue the wounded, and at the same time issued an order to the rescue teams, "Stop advancing, build camp on the spot, strengthen the defense, guard against wild wolves and minefields, and rush to the aid in the morning!" ”
Most of the ISI commandos were natives of the tribe, and they had a wealth of experience in living in the snowfields, and soon built barracks completely out of snowballs and snow blocks, and camped safely.
That night, the commandos were all dejected. On the first day of entering the mountain, seven team members were killed and wounded, which was also a serious blow to Shandra, and she began to re-evaluate the current situation. The ISI commandos were trained in demining, but when they entered the snow-covered canyons on the top of the mountains, the avant-garde squad had no sense of precaution.
She is soberly aware that this team still needs to go through more practical tests before it can be pulled out. From the canyon at the border to Lin Tao's ambush position, there is a maximum distance of seven or eight kilometers, but the canyon is difficult to walk, and it takes at least two days to walk. And the air defense battalion at the source of the Caola River, together with the tribal armed forces of the Caola River valley, had to climb over several large hills, and it would take two or three days to reach here.
In addition, it takes a lot of time to clear the mines, and it may not be possible to get there in three days. She was even worried at first, before she could reach Lin Tao's fortified location, her commando team or tribal rescue team would fall into a catastrophe.
The tribal armed and anti-aircraft battalions immediately camped on the spot in accordance with Sandra's orders, and did not venture over the mountains on snowy nights. They have not yet penetrated into the snowy mountains, and the risk is relatively small. But Sandra and her assault team went deep into the snowy valley, and she insisted on going deep into the canyon from the border side with a dozen "needle-piercing" individual missiles, just to prevent Speznaz from retaliating against her brothers' squad.
Shandra, who was in a difficult situation, lacked battlefield experience after all. But her strong character made her not give up her actions. She sent a report to Mao Yankai and Moore, "The top of the mountain is densely mined, and there are seven casualties. Tomorrow and tomorrow, continue to rescue! ”
Mao Yankai received the telegram and was stunned with Moore. The caterpillar took the telegram and was speechless for a moment. The three of them were silent for a long time, and Mao Yankai ordered to report, "Order Shandra to cover the retreat of the brothers' team in situ, and evacuate quickly!" ”
The caterpillar prepared the telegram, hesitated, and sent it anyway.
At night, when Sandra was anxious, Lin Tao suddenly called, "Tomorrow I will cross the mountains and move to the Caola River Valley." Please go back the way you came. ”
Sandra looked at the map and ordered a call back, "Agreed." I am here for the time being, to cover your retreat and to prevent reprisals. Tribal forces will meet you! ”
As soon as the telegram was sent, a telegram from General Moore to Sandra also came, "Hold on to the spot, the Ministry of Defense will deploy air defense forces in the mountain valley!" After handing over with the air defense forces, quickly return. ”
Sandra is in close contact with all parties to deploy to plug the snow valley loophole, and outside, ISI commandos are constantly being harassed by highland wolves. These agents, most of whom are locals, are extremely arrogant, and the wolves are simply unapproachable. At dawn, the wolves left two carcasses behind and retreated unwillingly.
Sandra ordered the commandos to set up their posts and listen closely to the air. The missile launch group is ready to launch at any time to prevent Spates Naz from retaliating. For several days in a row, it was only after the air defense units entered the snow valley and built air defense positions that Sandra withdrew with the assault team from the snow valley.
The bitter cold night had finally passed, and as soon as it was dawn, Captain Bilal awoke, his face flushed, and his body began to have a high fever.
Due to excessive blood loss, he could be sacrificed at any time in extremely cold climates. "Captain, leave me alone, you guys go quickly. Otherwise...... Everybody will freeze to death...... "Bilal laboriously ate a few pieces of wolf meat, and then fell into a faint slumber again.
Lin Tao looked at his comrades-in-arms, and everyone looked at him with trust. He gritted his teeth and said, "Bury Lieutenant Lazak's body deeply, and then breakfast, ready to go!" ”
