Chapter 197 Assassination
At night, the Los Angeles power plant motor roars, and the towering chimneys smoke thick into the night, forming a long dragon of smoke in the dark night sky, dancing with the wind. There is no fence around the power plant, there is a barbed wire fence around the plant. Factories in the United States, including civilian buildings, were largely walled, so after the expeditionary force occupied Los Angeles, almost all important factories were covered with barbed wire. A military jeep stopped in front of the power plant, and the leader of the 1st detachment, Nangong, and one of his subordinates got out of the car.
"Report to the captain, a qiē is normal, no suspicious circumstances have been found." A captain of the guard unit in front of the door reported. At this time, a dog barked on the side of the gate, and the captain said happily: "Captain, use the dog to stand guard, this method is very good." Sentry posts around the factory put a dog every 50 meters, and outsiders don't want to come in. "The enemy has already carried out destruction in the urban area, you must be vigilant." "Please rest assured, Captain Nangong, I guarantee that not even a single mosquito will fly in." Nangong turned around, and then drove to the arsenal to inspect.
There are clouds in the sky that block Yue'er's face, and the moon is dark and the wind is high, which is a good omen for action. About 200 meters north of the power plant, a thatched patch of grass was where Dick and one of his men appeared. He took the binoculars and observed for a while and said: "It's harder to fucking get into the power plant than to go to the sky, you see there is a barbed wire fence around the power plant, and there is a sentry about 50 meters away." The most annoying thing is that each sentry has a shepherd dog tied to him. Shepherds have a very sensitive sense of smell and will be spotted whenever a person is approached. ”
Originally, this job was done by Demoman Winter, but Winter went to attack the oil field and did not return, so Pike sent Dick to scout the power plant. During the day it is not possible to detect if strangers appear around the power plant. It will definitely be caught, so the reconnaissance mission can only be chosen at night. After Ma Kai accepted the mission, he looted a lot of sheepdogs to serve as guards. Not to mention that these dogs are indeed loyal to their duties and play a significant role. That night, Parker sent an operational team to investigate not only the power plant, but also the arsenal and other important facilities.
"The enemy is heavily guarded, we can't get in at all, and we can only use the people inside the power plant to carry out sabotage." The subordinate muttered. That's when a patrol appeared, and the two shut up. After the patrol passed. Dick glanced at his watch and said, "The enemy garrison patrols every half an hour, and the enemy is strictly guarded, let's go!" The two quietly left and disappeared into the night. At midnight. In the basement of the 3 Apple Avenue Hotel, Pike is silent in front of the crowd.
Philip said: "Head, according to the reconnaissance situation of the various groups, we cannot carry out attacks on important facilities such as power plants, arsenals, and oil refineries. They're too well guarded. "At this time, the Winter team, which had attacked the northern oil fields, rushed back." How's it going? Pike asked. Head. Four oil wells were blown up, but the enemy increased its security and increased its police force, and it was impossible to attack it again. "Well done!" When everyone heard this, a happy smile appeared on their faces. Pike continued, "Mr. Nine-Tailed Fox, are there no of our people in the power plant, arsenal, oil refinery, etc.?" ”
"Major Pike, the retreat was rushed, the intelligence services simply did not have our men planted in the factory, if the infiltration takes time." "We don't have time, to disrupt the enemy's rear. Containing the enemy's offensive is an urgent task for us to accomplish. At the moment we are not able to carry out the destruction of the enemy's vital facilities. Then carry out the second package and carry out the assassination campaign. The main targets are the heads of state, California President Lin Zhong and Vice President Rommel. In particular, Lommel, a traitor to the United States, must be killed, followed by the enemy's military and political personnel. ”
Pike groaned for a moment and continued: "The Dick team is responsible for assassinating Lommel, the Merris team is responsible for assassinating Lin Zhong, and the other teams are assisting the Winter team to assassinate the enemy's military and political personnel, we must turn Los Angeles upside down." In addition, the Paramount Ballroom in Los Angeles is a place for the activities of the California government and enemy military and political personnel, and Philip is responsible for spying on intelligence at the Paramount Ballroom. Let's rest late at night and take action on our goals tomorrow. ”
Early in the morning, Ma Kai and Nangong drove to the California Presidential Palace, and in the presidential office, Ma Kai said: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Rummel, the arson case that has occurred in California City in the past few days is deliberately done by the enemy, with the intention of undermining the stability of the Republic of California and curbing the offensive of our expeditionary force. The U.S. military has sent a ghost operation team, and one has now entered the city. These men were outlaws selected in prison by U.S. military intelligence. We expect that the enemy will soon launch an assassination operation, and you two may be the targets of the assassination. ”
"The enemy is simply frenzied, General Ma, I'm not afraid!" Lin Zhong seemed to be a little righteous. "General Ma, are you sure they want to assassinate me?" Lommel looked a little apprehensive when he heard this. "We can't say for sure right now, but we have to be precautionary. We have taken over the protection of you. The Expeditionary Force Command has asked us to guarantee your safety absolutely. From this year onwards, you will have to let us know about all your activities every day, including those of your family, and please cooperate with us. ”
The villa in Lommel has a private courtyard with a lawn in front of the door and no walls. There are sentry posts in front and back of the villa, and they are standing guard 24 hours a day. About 500 meters from the Lommel home, in a two-story building, Dick observes with a telescope. The subordinate said: "We have been observing for two days, and we have a general understanding of the situation in Rummel. He basically doesn't go out at night, so I think it's time to do it. Dick said: "There are 4 sentries in front and back, there is no problem in dealing with 4 sentinels, do it tonight." ”
At the same time, in a three-story building on the other side, two special combat team members looked around with binoculars in their hands. This is an upscale residential area, and it is very quiet with few people. At dusk Makai came here. "Is there anything suspicious?" "Captain, no suspicious people have been found around the Lommel house." "Captain, it's been two days, and nothing has been found, does the enemy really want to use assassination methods?" One of the team members seemed unimpressed. Ma Kai said: "At present, we are taking strict precautions, and the enemy has no way to start. Our opponents will never let go of Nanshan. The Lommel guards were not strong, so it was highly likely that the enemy would carry out assassinations. ”
"The outside is loose and the inside is tight, the purpose is also to attract the enemy to take the bait, as long as we catch a live mouth, we can catch it all, tonight, I will stay here to cooperate with you." As night fell, Mackay led two members of the team to quietly move to the vicinity of Lommel's house. The house was brightly lit and Lommel was having dinner with his wife and young daughter. When the war broke out, the eldest daughter followed her grandfather back to Germany, and the younger daughter accompanied her. The family was happy, but Rommel was preoccupied. Since listening to Mackay's in-person statement, Rommel has been nervous.
Especially at night, he couldn't help but be nervous, and seeing the calm appearance of his wife and daughter, he kept wondering whether to tell them about the situation. "Honey, isn't the food delicious, you haven't had an appetite for the past two days." The wife asked with concern. Lommel smiled bitterly and covered up: "During this time, arson cases have broken out in the city continuously, which has made me anxious. "These hateful creatures, they should all be sent to the gallows." "That's why I asked you not to go out during this time, it's very chaotic in the city."
After speaking, Lommel stood up and glanced outside, and saw the sentry standing guard walking back and forth, and his heart was much more stable. General Ma said to protect himself, but where are the people? Lommel was a little confused. Ma Kai led two members of the team to quietly move to hide near the Lommel house. The night was quiet and the sound of the sentinels moving around was very clear. The Sentinels were unaware that there were other people secretly protecting them, and Mackay came to the nearby Sentinels without even noticing. Time passed quietly, and at midnight, the sentinels changed the guard, and still no suspicious circumstances were found.
At about 3 a.m., Dick and his accomplices crept into the back of the Lommel house. In the darkness, Lundick whispered, "Let's kill the sentries in the back and enter through the back window." I'll deal with Lommel, and you will deal with his family, and the action must be clean. The accomplice nodded. The two were just about to act, when suddenly the lights in Lommel's room were lit, and there seemed to be a figure moving. Dick immediately stopped the action with his accomplices, not knowing what was happening. At this moment, the door of the villa opened, and a car came to a roar and stopped in front of the door.
Ma Kai was taken aback by this sudden situation, and hurriedly led two team members to rush to the door from the hidden place. He happened to see Lommel hurrying out of the house with his daughter in his arms, and his wife was also anxious. "What happened to Mr. Lommel?" "Captain Ma, my daughter has a high fever and needs to go to the hospital immediately......" Ma Kai instructed the two team members to accompany him to the hospital in person. In the dark, Dick was startled when he saw three dark shadows emerging from the darkness, and thought to himself. The operation failed, and Dick and his accomplices quietly retreated. Soon two figures appeared behind them and left. Unbeknownst to Dick, it was another team spying on them. Pike sent another team to spy on them, fearing that they would be captured if their mission failed. If this happens, Pike and the rest of his subordinates can move quickly and not be wiped out.
After Lin Zhong became president of the Republican Republic of California, he moved his family to Los Angeles. Lin Yazhi works in the headquarters hospital of the expeditionary force and naturally lives with her parents. Since she gave birth to a child, Mother Lin did not let her move out to live, and there was no doubt that Nangong also lived with them, so she naturally took on the task of protecting Lin Zhong. Lin Zhong's official residence is a small two-story building with a residential area at the back. Therefore, the task of defending the building had to be placed in the building. Fortunately, the South Palace is a building near the water, and since the focus is on the building, there is only one sentry in front of the door.
Late at night, Nangong saw that his wife and children were sleeping soundly, so he quietly got up. Nangong gently pushed the door open, tiptoed to the room next to him, knocked lightly twice, and the figures of the two team members flashed out when the door opened. Opposite is Lin Zhong's couple's room, and on the right side is the sister-in-law's room. Nangong waved his hand, and the figures of the three disappeared into the corner. They had to stay until dawn and then go back to their rooms to catch up on their sleep. It was not pleasant to wait for the rabbit, but there was no way but to do so.
Merris and his accomplices were outside Lin Zhong's official residence and hid until the second half of the night. It was silent, and at about 3 o'clock, Merris woke up his accomplices and began to move. They circled to the back of the building, and Merris and his accomplices showed off their knack for it. Merris, a habitual thief, reaches out to be athletic, and his accomplices are experts in this area. The two climbed up the wall to the building, and soon their figures disappeared into the air window on the ridge. (To be continued......)
PS: The two sides fight wits and courage.
