Chapter 517: Reconnaissance Target
The expressions on the faces of the herders in response to this question are already telling.
In the past few days, the ghost special commando team has carried out a large-scale search in this area.
Some clues have also been found, and if there is really a garrison of the Youth Army here, it can only be in that Grand Canyon.
Through the herdsmen's answers, it is also basically certain that the eight of them are said. Nine is not far from ten.
If it weren't hidden in places that satellites can't detect, such as underground bases, or in the belly of mountains, it would have been discovered long ago.
In this regard, Lin Tian had basically believed the herdsman's answer.
"How many people are there there?" Lin Tian asked.
In response to this question, the herdsman shook his head quite simply and said: "I don't know about this, but there should be a lot of people, and you can often see horse teams transporting supplies into it, and there are quite a few of them." ”
Lin Tian asked a few more questions, and then asked the herdsmen to go back.
Soon, the ghost team members of the three identity pirates also came over to report the situation, and the information they got was similar to what Lin Tian knew.
"Report this situation, and at night, we will go to reconnoiter the situation first, if the conditions allow, we will solve it, and if there are too many enemies, we will ask for support from other squads."
……
Dusk slowly came, a sea tail appeared on the sea surface, and the ghost special commando team also handed over these hostages and fishing boats to this sea silver, and then disappeared into the vast dusk.
The herdsmen by the sea, after seeing the departure of the ghost special commando, hurried into the house and closed the door.
Lay under the bed for the first time, from the wooden board under the bed, turned out a satellite phone, skillfully turned on the satellite phone, entered the number, and was about to dial out, but just when he was about to press the dial button, the door was kicked open vigorously.
Lin Tian walked in quickly, and a ghost special commando member quickly stepped forward, restrained the herdsman, and snatched the satellite phone in his hand.
"You are indeed very cooperative, but you have forgotten that you alone can survive in such a place, let alone protect your family, this is your biggest flaw." Lin Tian took the satellite phone, looked at the herdsmen with a sarcastic expression, and said.
"Soul light, we won't let you go." The herdsmen changed their expressions of fear at the end of the day, and shouted frantically.
"Unfortunately, you can't see it." One last glance at the herdsman, Lin Tian took the satellite phone and left the house.
From the very beginning, Lin Tian was very suspicious of the identity of this herder, and in today's environment in Somalia, there are too few families like this to live alone.
The main thing is that there are many things in this herdsman's house that do not belong to ordinary families.
Weapons don't count, this thing is too common in Somalia, and there is no reason to be suspicious.
But satellite phones are not simple, this kind of thing is also quite expensive in Somalia, how can an ordinary herdsman have this kind of thing, and the purchase channel is also a big problem.
And when he encounters someone who has escaped from the pirate, he is very familiar with the contact with the pirate, and his style and tone are not flattering, more like scolding and giving orders.
Therefore, from the beginning, Lin Tian was very suspicious of the identity of the herdsman, but the cooperation of the herdsman made him dispel a little vigilance, and this sudden return was for the last doubt in his heart, but it turned out that the suspicion was indeed true.
Lin Tian, who left the herdsman's house, could only sigh when he heard a gunshot behind him.
"Immediately through the signal of the satellite phone, search and locate." Hand over the satellite phone to the communication group, Lin Tian commanded.
With the help of the number positioning, the location of the number on the satellite phone was quickly determined, and it was within the Great Rift Valley, only five kilometers from the herder's home.
Following the mouth of the Shabelle River, into the rift valley, between the vegetation and the trees, there is a road that is often trodden.
The road is not narrow, there is no problem to take some small trucks, and the road surface is also very strong, there is no vegetation cover, obviously a frequent walking relationship.
Two hours later, cautiously advancing along the way, when approaching the target area for five hundred meters, there were signs of human activity in the darkness.
Two armed men armed with AK-47 weapons, dressed in green camouflage uniforms, were leaning against a large tree on the side of the road, smoking cigarettes.
At the end of the path was a dimly lit opening, and in the dim light, it could be seen that there were also people guarding the entrance, but they were all lazy, either smoking cigarettes or eating.
It's little known here, and there are herders on the periphery, so it's very lax defensively.
Underneath the cave, under a dense wooded shade, seven or eight trucks were parked, and many horses and camels were kept in captivity.
"Unleash micro-drones." Lin Tian lurked with the ghost special commando team and immediately issued an order to investigate.
A drone flew out of the woods, about the size of a fly, barely noticeable in the dark.
The micro-drone flew smoothly towards the mouth of the cave, passed by the guards at the mouth of the cave, and entered the cave.
This is indeed a karst cave, and after entering the narrow hole, the space inside is very spacious, and there are obvious signs of artificial repair.
The ground has been rested and paved with cement, and the interior area is thousands of square meters, if not true.
In the cave, you can see that there are a large number of training grounds, and around the cave, there are beds and neatly placed weapons and equipment, and the number is very large.
There were a large number of armed men in short-sleeved camouflage uniforms, all black, and most of them were seventeen or eighteen years old.
In the drone footage, a large number of people are sitting around in two basins, one with something like batter and the other with something like black soup.
Grab the batter-like stuff with your hands, dip the soup in your mouth, and put it in your mouth, and that's their dinner.
This kind of food is the most common in Africa, so it is not unusual.
Just on the other side, dozens of people were seen, injecting drugs into each other, and the drone filmed each soldier in the arm, there were obvious injection needle holes.
In the center of the cave, there was a middle-aged black man with a serious face, looking at some documents, and behind him, hung the sign of the Youth Army.
"The target is confirmed, but there are too many enemies, call a nearby team to come and support." Lin Tian carefully looked at the number of people in this secret camp and ordered.
