Chapter 159: Infiltration
Previously, Commander Benedict Charles Bob had considered using a large transport plane to airdrop personnel over Dien Bien Phu, but this resolution was rejected by Albert because it was too risky and the delicate relationship between Belgium and France, and the Vietnamese anti-aircraft guns were no joke, and. Therefore, the secret troops can only enter this theater jungle by car transportation.
As the leader of the team, Ernest led the members of the unit to spend three days and two nights with the huge killing machine in the small wooden box, and he was in a good mood the moment he came out, and he was finally able to say goodbye to the nasty smell of engine oil and body odor.
Ernest activated the exoskeleton, and he picked up his gun and beckoned his team to shoot at the remaining Viet Cong, without being polite to them. As the goal of assassinating Ho Chi Minh's high-level leaders, the team members naturally vented their unhappiness of eating and drinking in wooden boxes in the past few days and not being able to straighten their waists on these unlucky Viet Cong.
Anti-infantry armored hunters emerged from the overturned truck, and the miniguns were aimed at the soldiers.
Soon the Viet Cong tried the horror of this large robot, which was almost invulnerable like an armored vehicle, and the bullets only splashed a spark on it, and there was no damage at all. The soldiers who followed him in coordination could advance step by step under the protection of the large machine's revolver.
Under the splash of almost perverted 12mm caliber bullets from the revolver, any trees that stood in their way were torn into a pile of sawdust by the bullets. For a moment, the fluttering leaves and the flickering light of the fire intertwined into a curtain that symbolized death
"Stop making a fuss, solve them with howitzers." Unhappy with the team's progress, Ernest ordered them to greet the monkeys directly in the face with howitzers. The 40mm howitzer fired from the other side of the anti-infantry armored hunter exploded in front of the Viet Cong, and the heat wave lifted the entire area of dirt, and the monkeys were also directly turned into a pile of charred corpses, emitting a foul smell.
After seeing this scene, the Viet Cong, who were still stubbornly resisting, realized that they were doomed, and they surrendered one after another, raised their rifles above their heads, and emerged from the woods one by one. Occasionally one or two people with a little French shouted, "Don't shoot, I'm surrendering." ”
The miniguns were aimed at the disarmed Viet Cong, and the surrendering soldiers instinctively cowered at the sight of the huge monster, huddled together, fearing that it would tear itself to pieces. Hudson kicked one of the soldiers who refused to kneel, and a clear shoe print was etched on his face. Hudson spat in his face and said disdainfully, "Kneel down, hillbilly, losers are not qualified to talk about dignity." ”
Then he turned and asked Ernist, "Sir, what is this Charlie doing?" ”
Ernest, who was trying to contact the headquarters, turned around impatiently and said in a cold voice, "What to do?" All of them were shot, of course. They have already seen these weapons and our equipment, and can they still keep them alive? We are a secret force and do not need to abide by the Geneva Conventions. Remembering the Crown Prince's previous instructions, we are not allowed to leak our whereabouts, and we must not let go of a Viet Cong. ”
"Yes." Hudson shrugged helplessly, walked up to the Viet Cong, and said regretfully, "Although I don't want to embarrass you, you should die for our plan." ”
Then he suddenly took out a pistol from his pocket and shot the Viet Cong who had just refused to admit defeat without warning, and the brains that erupted from the back of his head directly stained the withered yellow branches and leaves behind him. The rest of the Viet Cong all fled backwards with a look of fear, but Hudson did not continue to attack the others after killing the Viet Cong in front of him, but beckoned to those behind him, and then walked away with a few words in his ear.
The rest of the Viet Cong breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that they did not have to die. But before they could rejoice, the anti-infantry hunter's revolver suddenly turned at them with a roar.
――――
In Saigon City, a group of camouflage-clad guys gathered in a nondescript Western-style idyllic building, surrounded by all sorts of strange instruments, Commander Benedict Charles Bob is staring at a huge screen in front of him, and the scene is visible through the camera on Ernist's head. Even the director of the Intelligence Bureau, Follett, personally went to Saigon to supervise the entire operation.
"Sir, you have entered Dien Bien Phu, please give instructions." After contacting HQ, Ernest said into the small screen.
"Walk 12 kilometers north and you will enter the Viet Cong base. The people you want to protect are ready to engage with the Viet Cong, and all you have to do is take out the target while they make contact at the top, while at the same time making sure that our informants don't get any harm, you see? Benedict issued the final assignment to Ernest.
"Roger, sir, promise to complete the mission. But the Viet Cong base must be heavily guarded, so how can we sneak in without alarming those people? "Ernest has been struggling with this question.
"Don't worry, the spies planted in the high-level of the Viet Cong will naturally branch out the sentinels in that place and arrange a long road for you to drive straight into, and you will have to do your job well at that time." Director Follett assured Ernest.
The stone hanging in Ernist's heart finally fell, he turned around, and said to Hudson, who was packing up the rest of the equipment, "Don't be busy with this, go start the drone, set the route and enter the target area in advance to reconnoitre, we have to reconnoiter the firepower inside." ”
"Yes." Hudson lifted the drone off the car, a vehicle with a light submachine gun underneath that could assassinate targets in addition to reconnaissance, especially with a silencer-mounted Uzi submachine gun.
After setting the flight path, the turboprop engine of the aircraft began to rotate and flew in the direction of the coordinates of the base area, and the rest of the team also cleaned up the corpse of a Wrangler and used it as a mobile vehicle.
"Remember, our target is a series of high-ranking Viet Cong leaders such as Vo Nguyen Giap, Ho Chi Minh and Le Duan, and this time the mission is to hunt and not capture alive, so just take a picture of their corpses." Ernest raised the camera in his hand, and his next words lifted everyone's spirits.
"And if this assassination is successful, everyone here will receive a reward of $7,000, so are you ready?" Ernest glanced in the direction of the car, and the endless jungle was full of unknown variables, but all this was like a humble ant in the face of the most elaborate plan.
Perhaps Ernest didn't know that the Intelligence Bureau had been planning for this operation for three years, including the movements of the Vietnamese and French troops today, and the assassins' march route was like a dagger into the heart of the Viet Cong, and Albert's move would completely disrupt the situation in Southeast Asia now and even decades later.
"Damn Charlie, I'm coming." Ernest whispered excitedly and apprehensively.
Note: The origin of the word Charlie, the Viet Cong abbreviated as VietCong, the abbreviation is VC, and the radio code of the letter C is Charlie, that is, Charlie.
