8 p.m. El Ta Garcia time on August 31.

On the western stretch of the river outside Garcia, two river assault boats were making their way through the night. The Minerva River, which does not receive much rain in the upper reaches of the river during the wet season, is still very friendly, and the river assault boats designed by the planing boat have little undulation in the waves.

The two boats traveled on a fixed course from the western part of the direct area (the area controlled by Doniva Elta) all the way to the outskirts of the town of Shuangqiao at a speed of nearly 40 knots.

The noise of the ship's engine is not mentioned in the sound of cicadas in summer, and the noise of the water is not mentioned at all. As for the visual discovery, the Western Expeditionary Army had no night vision devices and no searchlights, so how could they find these two small boats that were completely black?

"There are still 5 nautical miles to go to the target." The navigator and captain of the Navy Special Reconnaissance Group on Boat A glanced at the Beidou terminal on the bridge and gave a countdown report.

Except for the countdown and the roar of the hull lapping on the water and the hang-up, there was silence on the boat. The veteran commandos were closing their eyes and recuperating, while the commandos with slightly more seniority and experience were a little calm, and they all lowered themselves to fiddle with their phones in the bulkheads.

The SANJ1280-based assault boats are completely different from the RHIB, SOC-R, RFB and are a bit like the Swedish Type 90. Each assault boat can carry a full infantry squad and its equipment, and the armed version can also carry a boom-firing multi-purpose warhead Red Arrow 9, or an 82mm rapid-fire mortar, or a complete 25mm weapon station.

Although the two boats are not "armed", their firepower is still arguably the most ferocious presence in the entire Elta River. With a 7.62mm machine gun with a shield on each side of the rear open cabin and a grenade launcher/12.7mm heavy machine gun weapon station with a dual-mode sighting system on the top of the cockpit, any wooden ship that wants to stop these two river assault boats, which are faster than Hong Kong reporters and have been in many battles, will be in danger of being beaten to pieces. As for chasing? Who gave you the inexplicable courage? The assault boat only needs one turn to maintain a high speed of more than 35 knots, but can the inland river inspection ship of the Bimoon Church be able to sway out of 20 knots by rowing an oar? Dream your dreams!

Although there was a drawbridge at the entrance to the city wall on the west side of Garcia, the patrolling soldiers with torches could only tell if a huge ship was approaching. The river assault boat, which had turned off its engine, thus passed the blockade of the slacking patrol with an auxiliary electric motor and inertia after traveling at high speed.

"This special meow is even more stupid than the patrol in the game!" Tan Shijian, who was sweating tightly, also smiled sincerely. "Take a torch and want to stand guard, are you blind?"

A river assault boat that rows across the water at a speed of about eight knots does not leave much foam and no waves at all - the wake left by the planing boat is shattered by the gurgling waves before it reaches the shore. In this way, the two boats swaggered into the city that had not yet slept, and even drove fifty meters next to the anchored ship of the Western Expeditionary Army—no surprise, and still no one noticed.

In front of a sandbar diverted by a tributary of the city, the assault boats accurately picked up the infrared signal from the grass. With a flick of the tail and slowing down, the two teams of commandos who were completely dark and completely integrated with the night quickly waded ashore.

The man in the sandbar, who was also wearing a strangely shaped compound eye night vision device, straightened up from the grass with a smile, his hands held high, and the encapsulated RF tag identification plate on his chest with a chain was clearly visible in the low-light night vision device.

"The daughter is gone, and she will come back-" Even if the procedure is done correctly, Tan Shijian's subordinates will still not slack off, and immediately match the password.

"Teach you to make a fortune in silence."

"Don't laugh at the farmer's wine-"

"Make one," Pippens answered the code in very proficient Chinese, and did not forget to spread his arms to learn the posture of an elder, "big ~ news." ”

"There will be a time when the wind and waves will break—"

"Okay, Comrade Pippens, the film is so good! I'm very happy to confirm your identity, and the next battle will be for you, lead the way! Before his subordinates could match the last gap according to the procedure, Tan Shijian couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the two. They can already imitate the actions of the elders who angrily reprimand the runners, so is there any fake?

"Well, please follow me this way." Pippons was not unable to detect Tan Shijian's dissatisfaction, but he regarded this as a compliment to him, and of course he would not react to it. But he still whispered a reply:

"Ask me if I'm magnetic."

Little by little, the assault boat moved to the center of the river, waiting for the next return order. And the commando team of more than 20 people, led by Pippins, moved towards the intended target step by step.

More than a week had passed since Garcia's civil unrest, and the patrols, who had not heard a word of the wind, were beginning to slack off - on this side, the patrols easily crossed the widest main roads under the noses of the street patrol soldiers, and continued to weave through the natural alleys between the buildings.

"Turn right at the next intersection and watch out for patrolmen." Pippons flipped through his notebook under the low-light night vision device, comparing the map with directions.

Sure enough, at the right end of the alley turning out of the stone path, there was a somewhat tired soldier sitting against the wall.

"Can't you go any other way?"

"The closer you get to the places of residence of the various units of the Western Expeditionary Army, there will only be more such intersections, not less."

"." Tan Shijian looked at the small notebook and was speechless for a while. "Then, what are the directions around the sentry that can be determined to be members of the Demon Spear Team?"

"Not sure." Pippons pinched the bookmark and flipped to a certain page, "Observing for four consecutive days, there is no pattern in the uniforms of the soldiers standing guard every day, and they should be randomly assigned." ”

Tan Shijian pinched his notebook and thought for a few seconds, and quickly came to a conclusion: "Kill him." ”

The high-powered pulley crossbow arrows are also coated with a cyanide compound that can be lethal after a few seconds of wound action. The commando carefully opened the protective cover on the arrow and aimed at the upper body of the seated soldier with the help of a low-light night vision device.

Patrols with torches and candles could not see the grim reaper. At best, the low-light lighting source illuminates the path under their feet, and it is impossible to see what is moving more than ten meters away. Conversely, they become the best targets with light sources.

"You're left, I'm right." Two commandos with pulleys and crossbows exchanged messages with each other - they had gone from being overly cautious at the beginning to mildly excited. "Let's go!"

The steel rope released its power under the action of the trigger, and a dozen black shadows rushed out again. The commandos who had taken off the two heads also rushed to the fallen patrolman, pulled out the crossbow arrows and neutralized them, straightened the corpses, and rushed to follow the team.

The camping area of the Magic Spear Team is similar to the camping area of other units of the Western Expeditionary Army. The "group", which was separated by a wall between the houses, could accommodate several hundred-man units, and every night, except for the soldiers who were on vigil, everyone had to be counted repeatedly, and then the entrance and exit of the "group" were closed. Only officers and men who had the night's stamps were allowed to enter and leave the group at will, or pass through the interrogation of patrols between groups and groups.

Pippens had already chosen a side of the Magic Lance to camp in a group, perhaps because of the consideration of rapid suppression, Uffel Mondridge placed all the troops equivalent to his henchmen in the center of the group.

"We can't detect the structure in the group, from now on we are allowed to use firearms when encountering all enemy obstacles, once we succeed, don't fall in love with the battle, immediately retreat at full speed, the approximate coordinates and the location of the ships must be clear in mind, understand?"

In place of the reply was the sound of a neat gun loading. Pippens was assigned a bulletproof vest and a Kevlar helmet with pylons from the start, and now he has a pump-action shotgun in his hand.

"Safe behind the wall, ready for the ladder!"

The two young men with submachine guns quickly climbed over the low brick wall, only to feel the stench around them—they had climbed to the edge of the toilet.

"Two armed soldiers at three o'clock, in line with the characteristics of the target."

"Is it a rifle-type weapon?" Pippons hurriedly asked.

"That's right! Does Group A carry out seizure operations? Please instruct! ”

"Do it!" There were already as many as four commandos in the wall, and there were eight people in the duo, and Tan Shinan gave the order.

The two soldiers of the Demon Spear Team with magic powder rifles on their backs had no idea that danger was coming, and the four two-person teams appeared from the shadows in four directions in the courtyard of the group like a fierce tiger pounced, which caught people off guard.

It's too late, it's too soon.

The two Demon Spear soldiers only felt a tightness behind them, and before they could turn around, they were covered by a wet cloth. The strap carrying the magic spear on his back was also cut off in unison, and the whole person was hollowed out, unable to use his hands and feet - what was worse was that they couldn't see clearly where the hand on his face, behind him, and on his arm came from......

After a few seconds, the anesthetic on the damp cloth began to take effect, and the two of them fainted in unison.

"Success!" The four duos began to carry the loot north and alternately cover the evacuation of the hospital. The most difficult step of this action seems to be about to pass, and the next step is to wait for the celebration banquet back in Mendong City.

It's a pity that when Kitzelefal, a member of Garcia's left-behind group of the Magic Gun Team, pushed open the door of the house with his double-barreled pistol and wanted to go out to smoke, he saw a scene that he shouldn't see. Eight men in black were heading towards the earthen wall in front of him, and in the starlight, two of them could be seen carrying someone on their backs.

He didn't have time to wipe his eyes, so he picked up his pistol and pulled the trigger on the man in black in front of him.

"Damn, shit, shit! , we are exposed, we are exposed! In the next second, the bullets turned the untimely former fisherman into honeycomb coal, but the explosion of the magic powder pistol was the best wake-up call - everyone in the commando team became ants on a hot pot.

Tan Shijian's face was gloomy, and he dialed the safety of the submachine gun in his hand, God knows what kind of obstacles and stains the failure of the secondary target of this mission will cause him? "Remove the insurance and prepare for battle!"
