"So it's likely that the ambush adjudicator was a magpie?" Hibek stopped pacing, peering through the gap in the curtain at the small building across the street that was obscured by trees.

Don't get me wrong, the so-called convoy in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actually an action team, and the driver is the field staff under the jurisdiction of the action team.

Ambassadors and representatives of various forces who are openly stationed in various forces must not do too dirty things, nor can they be singled out too many problems by their masters. But there are many things that cannot be obtained by normal means alone, and at this time the driver has to do it.

After entering the Barentai checkpoint, the two drivers separated from the delegation, met up with the rebels at a pre-agreed location, and then went deep into southern Xinjiang together for their first official contact with the rebel management.

But it is unknown what went wrong, their identities were revealed, and the two drivers were chased and killed by the redeemers. The male driver, codenamed Cuckoo, and the female driver, codenamed Magpie, had to break up in Pear City, one going on the southern route according to the plan and the other temporarily deciding to take the western route.

This was the last message sent back by the cuckoo from the radio report he carried with him during his last communication more than half a month ago, and as of today, the two men had no news, but they had obtained a lot of useful information from the daily communication of the Redeemer Base by listening to it.

A few days ago, Tian Yu also received a request from the redeemer, asking if he could borrow equipment from the medical laboratory to help dissect several corpses and make an analysis of the cause of death.

Although this laboratory was built with the help of the Redeemer, most of the sophisticated medical equipment came from the East Asian Alliance, which was specially used to extract pharmaceutical raw materials from the corpse of the Blue Devil, and no one could enter without Tian Yu's permission.

After obtaining the consent of the head of the delegation, Hibek, Tian Yu readily agreed to the request of the redeemer, and at the same time, as the head of the laboratory, he must also be present to supervise and operate the equipment.

Then came the startling news that one or two unidentified men had ambushed the Redeemer fighters more than 100 kilometers west of Pear City, causing a lot of casualties.

A total of 31 bodies were brought back, all but a very old man were young and middle-aged, and the cause of death was very consistent, fatal gunshot wounds and throat cuts.

This would have been good news, indicating that the magpie may well have escaped interception by the redeemers. But after so many days of waiting, neither the base set up in Hami nor the radio station carried by the delegation received any news from her.

And the telegram received from the headquarters today shows that the information from the rebels is even more confusing. In addition to the three people who died in Ruoqiang and those who were intercepted and killed south of Licheng, there was another person, that is, the high-level leader of the team who chose to travel west with the magpie, and there has been no news so far.

Now both the redeemers and the rebels, plus the gunmen secretly sent to Ruoqiang by the East Asian Alliance and the Southwest Alliance, are looking for these two men everywhere. Whether they died in an accident or where they were hiding, no one knows.

The telegram from Headquarters made it clear that it was necessary to get to the bottom of the matter, and that no matter what happened to the cuckoo and the magpie, it was necessary to draw lessons and experience from it, so as not to make the same mistake again in the next dispatch.

However, no one in the delegation had ever been to southern Xinjiang, let alone been able to conduct on-site investigations, and there was no complete source of information, so it was almost as difficult as riding a bicycle to the moon to restore the scene at that time based on various associations and speculations, and it was prone to great deviations.

Fortunately, the redeemers did not know for what purpose Tian Yu was invited to participate in the autopsy, otherwise the delegation and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the East Asian Union would probably not know about this matter so far.

"Impossible, I know the magpie's ability very well, this is not the terrain she is familiar with, even if it is placed in the Tianjin training base, it is not capable of killing more than 30 well-trained adjudicators in one night." As Tian Yu, who had participated in special operations training with magpies and cuckoos, he immediately refuted Hibek's hypothesis.

She is well aware of the combat capabilities of each driver, these people are just agents who go on special missions, not professional killers and special forces. The force value is much stronger than that of ordinary people, but it is not up to the level of a hundred enemies, especially in an unfamiliar environment, and the combat effectiveness has to be reduced.

"Could it be that they are masters of the rebels, they can hold out in the southern Xinjiang region for so many years, and they must be very familiar with the terrain. With the help of heaven and earth, it is not impossible to have more than one enemy. Zhang Ke said casually according to logical reasoning, then put on his glasses and picked up the information on the table and flipped it up.

Intelligence analysis is his specialty, but these days he has been using individual communication terminals to listen to the calls of the redeemer, and he never imagined that the magpie would actually live and die without seeing the corpse, so he didn't pay much attention to these materials.

"If the rebels have this ability, they won't lose Ruoqiang and Qiuzi. According to the information obtained by the ministry, there will be no more than 150 armed personnel of the Southwest Alliance in Ruoqiang, and there may be more adjudicators in Qiuzi, but not more than 200. This is already the supply ceiling, and any more will make you hungry. ”

However, this reasoning was rejected by Tian Yu again, for the simple reason that in the past six months, the rebels have been defeated by the Redeemer and the Southwest Alliance, and have not shown even a single miraculous victory.

Could it be true that someone is beaten all day long, just endure not to make a big move, and wait for a blockbuster when it doesn't matter? According to the news fed back by the rebel headquarters, the people they sent out were not a hundred enemies, and they were almost wiped out when they broke through the Ruoqiang blockade, and it was too dramatic to talk about the Jedi counterattack at this time.

"Could it be that the headquarters of the rebels did not understand the actual situation, their organization is very loose, in fact, it is divided into three parts, although there is cooperation between each other, but sometimes it is not very unified because of the limitations of equipment and means."

Hibek usually does the work of hiding a knife in a smile, playing with the neatness of his mouth and the thickness of his face, and he has not received too strict military training, strictly speaking, he is a civilian official. I don't really understand how to fight, infiltrate and other technical work, so I can only analyze it from a broad perspective.

"It's not impossible...... But I think it's hard to do. Not to mention them, even if two people were sent to Commander Yu's Air Force Paratrooper Special Service Team, it would not reach this level. ”

"You don't see the body, you probably don't feel the weird state. Most of them were hit from the side or from behind, which means that there is a high probability that they were killed unknowingly. ”

"Just imagine, more than 30 adjudicators who have already exchanged fire with the enemy have also set up interception positions on the side of the highway, only to be killed one by one silently, isn't it strange? Oh yes, these people are also equipped with night vision devices, and even civilian ones won't be invisible. ”

"They also have general-purpose machine guns, which have a lot of firepower. I've seen a few photos of the site, where there is only an abandoned highway, with dense reeds and wetlands to the south and the foot of the mountain less than a kilometer to the north. ”

"As long as you hide under the roadbed on the north side of the road, you can't shoot from the reeds unless the bullet can turn a corner. Even a sharpshooter like Commander Jiao couldn't see the muzzle fire or hear the gunshot, so he had to hit him from the front, but most of these people's fatal injuries were on the side and back! ”

Tian Yu could not completely deny this explanation that the rebels were indeed not a complete organization, but a collection of a large number of small groups, and it was likely that there would be a lack of communication.

But as a special operations master and a highly trained military doctor, she can basically overturn this assumption based on the gunshot wounds on the corpse and photos of the scene. There are too many unreasonable places, unless a genius suddenly appears in the rebel army, who can come and go in the dark and kill people without a trace.

"Wait! You wrote in the autopsy report that the gunshot wounds on the body were not caused by a bullet, there were rifle bullets and pistol bullets, and NATO standard bullets and .45 caliber pistol rounds were also found at the scene? ”

Zhang Ke had been studying the information in his hand all along, and when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head, pointed to one of the autopsy reports, and looked at Tian Yu as if he had discovered some major omission.
