Chapter 361: "Rescuing" the Hostages
A day earlier, the Rattlesnake special forces had infiltrated the vicinity of Tabriz and lurked here, because, according to the information of the Messiah Bureau, those hostages, would definitely take this path.
Just a few hours earlier, they had received confirmation from the Messiah Bureau again, and Hades had finally announced the mission of the operation: "rescue" the hostages.
"The American hostages have been held by the Iranians for more than a month, and now, they are being escorted here again, and we have an obligation to rescue these hostages!" Hades said loudly.
Who knows, his words only attracted a burst of ridicule.
"Captain, are we going to rescue the hostages?" One of the special forces members said that he did not take the majesty of Hades as captain to heart in the slightest.
"yes, I thought we were going to capture Khomeini!"
"The last time the Yankees were in the Lebanese war, they always supported Israel and imposed sanctions on us, and we went to save the hostages of the United States? Don't be funny, Captain, Allah is above, I want to take two American hostages! ”
"Shut up!" Hades was furious: "You guys, you didn't take my words to heart, did you? I mean take the American hostages! Wrong, it's to rescue the American hostages! ”
"That's right, just let you go and take the American hostages." At this time, the intelligence officer of the Messiah Bureau next to him opened his mouth and said that it was the female intelligence agent Hasar, who had cooperated successfully with them last time, because of the importance of the matter, Yurid sent her out again, and Hasar was also thinking that she had some personal matters to deal with and needed to come here.
"Now, the hostages are in the hands of the Iranians, and they are saying that they are going to send these hostages to the Turkish border for release, but at the cost of the Americans sending them a few boatloads of weapons! It is because of this incident that our comrades-in-arms in the north were blocked in Bakhtalam, so we must not allow the Iranian conspiracy to succeed! We need to rescue the hostages and let the deal between Tehran and the United States fail! ”
The soldiers take it as their duty to obey orders and never ask why, but if they don't understand the importance of this matter, then these members of the special forces who seem to despise this operation so much are likely to be bad, so Hasar told the real purpose, which was also explained by His Excellency Qusay before leaving, and when necessary, he could tell the truth to the soldiers.
Sure enough, after hearing the truth, all the fighters were filled with righteous indignation: "The Yankees are so hateful that they actually exchange weapons for hostages!" We should kill the hostages, so they can't be replaced! ”
"No, the hostages are innocent, we just need to rescue them, so that Khomeini's plot cannot be carried out!"
"Yes, let's rescue the hostages!"
The Rattlesnake special forces have finally embarked on one of their most peculiar missions: to "rescue" hostages.
The purpose of this operation is to be righteous and resolute.
The ambush was in the place where it had to pass, and, to their delight, the other party actually stopped in their own ambush circle.
Seeing this opportunity, the battle-hardened Sidewinder special forces immediately began an ambush operation.
The first is two anti-tank missiles, which destroy both cars in front and behind, so that the opponent can no longer move.
The explosion, as if stabbing a hornet's nest, immediately began to return fire.
The Iranians are also well-trained, although they don't know who is coming, but one of their main tasks is to prevent a sneak attack by the Americans!
Most likely, the American special forces will come to rescue the hostages, so, immediately after the explosion, they surrounded the perimeter of the bus and began to return fire.
However, their combat skills simply cannot be compared with the highly trained special forces, and the angles of the ambushes of Hades' men are very strange, and no matter where the Iranians are hiding, they will be shot in the head.
The Rattlesnake special forces are one of the most elite forces in the Middle East!
What's more, the other party doesn't know why, in such an important mission, there is not even a single tank, there are only so many trucks of people, and there are no heavy weapons, which is too easy for the Sidewinder special forces.
The only thing they care about is time!
Once the battle starts, reinforcements from the Iranians will arrive very quickly, and they will have to resolve the battle quickly.
At this time, there is nothing more fearful than the hostages in the car.
Originally, they thought that they would be able to see their relatives soon, but the fierce firefight outside made them feel very frightened, an ordinary American, who had never experienced this kind of scene, although they had the psychological ability to accept being a hostage, but this exchange of fire made them tremble.
A stray bullet broke through the window of the car, and several Americans hiding below suddenly shouted in panic, as if the end of the world was coming.
For the members of the Rattlesnake special forces, they have not received special anti-terrorist training, and they do not have much burden on whether they will accidentally hurt the hostages, anyway, the hostages are Americans, and if they hurt a few, they were all injured by mistake, that is, Allah does not bless him.
Soon, there were fewer and fewer Iranians.
At this moment, the door of the bus suddenly opened, because the other party's exchange of fire was on the left, and there was a gap here on the right, the Iranians did not deploy manpower on the right side, and their ability to respond to the surprise attack was not very good.
"Quick, get out of the car, hurry up!" McFarlane said.
Taking advantage of the exchange of fire between the two sides, although Macfarlane himself was relatively nervous, he knew that this was the last chance, and if it wasn't for this inexplicable firefight, they would probably be detained.
Take advantage of this opportunity and hurry up! McFarlane's adaptability is very strong.
Although the hostages were panicked, many of them were still sensible, and they quietly crawled and got out of the car through the door.
Here, the exchange of fire continued, and the company commander in charge of the escort was very angry.
"Outflank them on both sides and finish them out!" The company commander said.
The opponent's firepower was not very fierce, but the accuracy was very high, which convinced the company commander that the opponent must not have a lot of people, and besides, the opponent was likely to run out of bullets.
In that case, then rush forward and kill the other party all!
"Long live Ayatollah Khomeini!" The company commander shouted.
Hearing this, all the soldiers immediately mustered up their courage and rushed forward as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
The company commander turned back and suddenly found that he had made a big mistake, those hostages were actually secretly escaping!
Since you are disobedient, then don't blame me for being rude! By now, the company commander was convinced that it would definitely be the Americans who exchanged fire with him!
The company commander stood up, picked up the assault rifle of a soldier who had died in battle, adjusted it to a burst state, and prepared to shoot at the crowd behind.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain, and there was already a large hole in his chest, and blood was gurgling out. He wanted to pull the trigger, but suddenly he felt as if he weighed a thousand pounds and couldn't hold it steadily.
Another bullet flew and struck him in the head, his eyes blood-red the moment he lost consciousness.
Seeing the Iranians rushing up, Hades smirked and pulled the bolt of a machine gun that had already been laid there.
12.7 mm NSVS machine gun! This gun adopts the working principle of gas conduction, adopts the bolt deflection locking mechanism, and the entire automatic machine is linked together, which can be taken out as a whole to facilitate the battlefield wiping. The whole gun is 1560 mm long, the whole gun weighs 25 kg, the barrel weighs 9 kg, and fires 12.7×108 mm caliber high-power heavy ammunition specially developed by the Soviet Union, including armor-piercing bullets, armor-piercing incendiary incendiary tracer bullets and instantaneous explosion shells, with a muzzle velocity of 845 m/s, an effective firing range of 1500~2000 meters, and a combat rate of fire of 80~100 rounds per minute, which is more than enough to deal with lightly armored targets and firepower points within 1500 meters.
This gun is the most powerful weapon of the special forces deep behind enemy lines, even surpassing anti-tank missiles.
Originally, there was no need to carry such a thing, but when driving a jeep, a machine gun was put on it, which looked more imposing, more like the invincible Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, so they always carried such a machine gun.
Now the machine gun was placed on the position, and in the hands of Hades, a powerful burst of power immediately erupted.
The 12.7 mm bullet was enough to penetrate the armored vehicle, and immediately beat the Iranians who rushed up in front of them to cry wolf, and the 12.7 mm bullet penetrated the human body and came out with a bowl-sized hole, and the blood immediately flowed out unstoppably, and even more tragically broke their arms and legs, wailing on the position.
The Sidewinder special forces, accustomed to such a scene, were indifferent at all, and they used their weapons to wipe out all the Iranian troops.
Macfarlane ran forward with the American hostages in shock, when he heard a gentle female voice say in English: "Friends of the United States, we are here to save you!" ”
Save us? McFarlane raised his head, the other party is also Middle Eastern, not American at all!
"You're safe, and we'll protect you." Hasar said: "We were sent by His Excellency Qusay to rescue you. ”
Your Excellency Qusay? Hearing this, the frightened Macfarlane regained a trace of composure: "You are really sent by His Excellency Qusay?" He glanced behind him, the battle was over, and the people who ambushed the convoy were also wearing Iranian uniforms.
"Of course we are, or who will save you!" Hades walked over with a machine gun in his arms, and he could only speak a few words of English.
"Let's get out of here quickly, reinforcements from the Iranians will come soon." Hasar said.
"Are you going to take us home?" McFarlane said. He finally found that in the face of absolute violence, his talents had no room to play at all.
"No, we saved you, Iran will definitely search everywhere, the border will also be under martial law, we need to hide first."
