Chapter 401: Aerial Infiltration
Faced with how to break into the village where the extremists are located, everyone debated for a while, and finally had to turn to Lei Wanshan for answers.
But Lei Wanshan in the TV screen in the conference room didn't mean to speak.
"I think we need a high-precision satellite map first and foremost."
Just when the audience fell into a brief silence, someone suddenly said something.
Everyone is looking for a voice, it is Gu Ji.
He looked at the ordinary satellite map provided by the Iranian side on the computer screen, and said in a deep voice: "The accuracy of this map is too poor, I can't see the shape of the village at all, and I don't know the undulations of the nearby terrain, it is difficult to formulate an accurate action plan, Lei Team, we need the support of the national satellite system!" β
Without waiting for Lei Wanshan to speak, Li Ruilin, who had been sitting in the town, picked up the phone and said, "Contact the Satellite Navigation System Management Office immediately." β
Behind such a simple sentence is the support of national strength that only the top superpowers have.
At present, there are only three countries in the world with mature satellite navigation systems:
The GPS global positioning system of the United States, the GLONASS satellite system of Russia, and the BDS Beidou satellite system of Xia Guo.
Within a moment, Zhao Hua's computer obtained the high-precision map authority of the national satellite system.
As the mouse continues to zoom in, not to mention the ups and downs of the desert hillside, even the few houses in the village can be seen clearly, and the figure is almost visible!
"This Beidou satellite system is also too awesome!"
Gao Bo also saw high-precision satellite reconnaissance for the first time.
You know, this is not an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, but a picture directly captured by a low-altitude satellite.
"I've got the map for you, tell me what you think!"
Li Ruilin's calm and deep voice came from the video screen of the TV.
Gong Qingyong glanced left and right, and saw that Captain Lei Wanshan also had no waves on his face, as if neither of them was in a hurry.
Only then did it dawn on me that the reason why they didn't open their mouths was because they were all waiting for Gu Ji's thoughts.
Although he had long known that this kid was very powerful, he didn't expect that Captain Li Ruilin would value him so much.
This is obviously an intentional exercise in Gu Ji's tactical thinking and command ability.
In the face of Li Ruilin's test, Gu Ji showed no timidity.
"There are three options: first, take a helicopter and fly around from the southwest, the southwest is undulating, as long as the distance is not too close, the guard post in the village cannot be found, we can choose to rappel under the target mountain, walk over the top of the mountain, and raid the village; The advantage of this plan is that it is extremely fast, and it only takes half an hour to fly from the center of Tehran to the target point, but the disadvantage is that it is a long walk and requires a lot of energy. β
"Oh? The other two sets too. β
Li Ruilin raised his eyebrows.
Gu Ji raised his wrist and glanced at it, then continued:
"The second option is to drive, it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon, from the city of Tehran to the southwest, it takes about 4 hours, after dark, all the vehicles turn off the headlights, because the noise of the car engine is much less than that of the helicopter, so we can drive halfway up the mountain, and then move on foot!"
The disadvantage of the second solution is that it is too slow.
As for the last resort, it is a combination of the two.
But it requires at least two medium-sized or higher utility helicopters or a heavy transport helicopter to lift two large off-road vehicles for tactical delivery.
Such a "large-scale" logistical support depends on whether the Iranian official is interesting enough.
"At the end of the day, you're trying to fight at night."
Lei Wanshan deserved to be the top actual combat commander in Wu Province, and he saw through Gu Ji's thoughts at a glance.
Gu nodded a few times.
"That's right, according to the interrogation information provided by the Iraqi Security Department, Shalam has deployed at least 25 people in the village, or even more, in terms of human firepower, we don't have an advantage, then we can only create an information gap, use night battles, weaken the enemy's vision, and take the lead!"
Even if the extremists are very terrifying, their individual equipment is hardly comparable to that of the "regular army".
A set of night vision devices is enough to create an advantage for Gu Ji in terms of vision.
"Okay, let's follow the third plan, Director Qu, it's up to you next!"
"Rest assured, we will do our best to accommodate your requests!"
Qu Ya, director of the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office, who was sitting on the side, immediately took out her mobile phone and called the embassy in Iran, preparing to use diplomatic means.
The answer was quickly answered: the Iranian side agreed!
"! It's so handsome, we haven't performed an aerial rappelling mission in our lives, and the previous training can finally come in handy! β
When Gao Bo heard that he was really going to take a helicopter to carry out the mission, he stretched out his hand to put his arms around Gu Ji and Wu Kang left and right, and was so excited that he burst into a foul language.
And not only him.
Including Zhou Yang, Liu Weijun, and even many special police officers of the Second Squadron, they couldn't help grinning one by one.
After all, except for a very small number of areas in China that have trained amphibious combat teams on land, water and air, the vast majority of other special police officers only operate in urban environments.
Even Gu Ji's group of selected children have only practiced rope landing since Jinbang's training camp.
It is the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps that is responsible for providing them with weapons and equipment.
At this level of counter-terrorism operations, the usual things of Savama or the Iranian police department are no longer sufficient.
So, under Milburn's arrangement, Gu Ji and the others took a van and went to the nearest Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps military base in Tehran.
This time he deliberately brought a stinger.
In the previous operation, due to the need for camouflage, it was impossible to carry police dogs, but this operation happened to be in the desert mountains, and it was best played as a stinger of the Chunzhou dog bloodline.
Upon arrival at the equipment depot of the military base.
It's more unexpected.
Iran's current special warfare equipment has been gradually westernized, using the US OCP camouflage combat uniform, and the new portable and defensive combat equipment.
The rifle is a modified Iranian-made AK-103, and the Revolutionary Guard Special Operations has added a Picatinny rail to the upper receiver, replaced with a new telescopic stock with an adjustable cheek plate, laser sights, tactical flashlights, grips and muzzle brakes.
The most important night vision device is the most common AN/PVS-15 in US special operations units.
When a whole set of equipment is worn, except for weapons, it is completely half an American soldier.
Gu Ji and the others took some stun bombs, smoke bombs, as well as blasting explosives, unmanned reconnaissance planes, and so on.
When they arrived at the airport, the Revolutionary Guards had already prepared helicopters for them.
A CH-47 Chinook heavy transport helicopter could easily accommodate a group of 14 people, plus a police dog, and two army-green open-top off-road vehicles were mounted on the outside.
Iran also seems to know that it has made a bloody investment.
Fearing that it would be knocked out by Shalam's rockets, two AH-1 helicopter gunships were sent to escort it.
With the deafening propeller activation, the helicopter slowly rose into the air and flew towards the target point that Gu Ji had already demarcated.
Along the way, the expressions on everyone's faces were mixed.
Excited, nervous, serious.
Aside from the fact that this was the first time they had carried out hostage rescue by means of aerial infiltration, the enemy was also the "famous" Shalam, an extreme terrorist organization that even the US special operations units had a headache for.
So, everyone is well aware of the difficulty of this operation.
"Gu Ji, Gong Team, if possible, I want to capture the target leader alive as much as possible, and the ministry needs his confession of kidnapping Professor Kang."
Just when Gu Ji was using the ghost server and was about to communicate with Ah Ming about the specific situation of the village, Zhuang Feng, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, suddenly called him.
The operation was divided into two combat teams, which seemed to be led by Liu Weijun and Gong Qingyong.
But when Zhuang Feng inquired, he learned that the command of the third squadron was in the hands of Gu Ji.
This is also the "old tradition" of the third squadron, when Zhang Wenjun was still there, Gu Ji was often in charge of commanding, not to mention that he is still the deputy captain now.
Gong Qingyong groaned slightly.
It's no secret that capturing an enemy alive is much more difficult than killing an enemy outright.
This involves identification, and it is necessary to send special personnel to control and always guard against the enemy's counterattack.
It is both a waste of time and a drain of manpower.
And these two are precisely the most valuable factors in high-risk operations.
Gong Qingyong glanced at Gu Ji, and saw that he lowered his head, and had no intention of refuting at all, so he made up his mind and agreed, "According to the situation on the spot, we will do our best." β
"Thank you!"
Zhuang Feng shouted two words heavily.
In fact.
Gu Ji actually didn't hear what the two of them were saying at all, because his attention at the moment was all on the news that Barron had just sent.
This guy saw with his own eyes that the mercenaries of the PM came into contact with a group of terrorists wearing turbans and robes.
That's right.
Under his command arrangement, Jiang Na, Wang Xueming, and Barron were responsible for tracking the footprints of Abe Shigemoto and PM mercenaries, respectively, and they all happened to come to Iran.
"Terrorists ......"
Gu Ji's pupils were dilated.
At this juncture, it could only be Shalam!
In this way, Professor Kang Wenkun was kidnapped, most likely because of the PM's ghost.
After all, this is not the first time that PM has cooperated with a terrorist group.
It's just that he can't understand why whether it is PM Company, Shalam, or the Mossad, these forces are all involved in the oil mine project that Iran cooperated with Xia Guo.
Could it be that there is a secret inside?
"Ahead is the mountainous marker!"
"Roger, about to lower the altitude!"
At this moment, the helicopter pilot's shout interrupted Gu Ji's contemplation.
Escorted by two AH-1 helicopter gunships, he began to operate the Chinook helicopter to descend slowly, and after reaching the first altitude, he only heard a "bang", the front end rope fell off, and the first off-road vehicle landed smoothly on the wasteland.
Then continue descending to the second height, repeating the operation.
"The vehicle has been put into the designated place, ready to be rappelled!"
The pilot turned back to them and shouted, and when the door was opened, the twilight sun filtered into the cabin, and the screeching of the propellers mixed with the wind rushed in their faces.
Gu Ji instinctively squinted, and then pressed the rope descent device.
In the next second, with a few "swishs", several thick black ropes were thrown from the cabin and landed on the ground below.
Gao Bo held his hand at the door of the cabin and looked down, and the two off-road vehicles were parked on the ground, looking only the size of a fist, and this distance must be fifteen or sixteen meters high.
"Goo."
He subconsciously swallowed and foamed.
Although everyone has conducted aerial rappelling training before and after Jinbang and Dragon Tiger Commandos, training and actual combat are two completely different psychological states.
At this time, Gu Ji tied the stinger to his chest and walked over and patted him.
"Are you alright?"
"It's fine."
Perhaps because he didn't want Gu Ji to look down on him, Gao Bo gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and used his left hand, which was wearing flame-retardant tactical gloves, to hold the thick rope and poke out.
The strong wind from the two huge propellers in front and back of Chinook, through the sand-colored face towel, blew his eyes a little.
But Gao Bo still endured the interference from the outside world and jumped out directly.
"Sneerββ!"
"Oh!"
It only took a little more than a second for him to slide from the rope to the ground.
The moment he let go, Gao Bo temporarily suppressed the excitement in his heart, hurriedly raised the AK-103 rifle, and began to guard the surroundings, "Gu Ji, come down quickly!" It feels so good! β
"It's coming!"
With Gao Bo taking the lead, Gu Ji, Wu Kang, Liu Weijun, and several people from the second team grabbed the ropes one by one and left the cabin at the same time.
The moment he fell from the sky, Gu Ji could feel the high-speed blurred changes in the objects in front of him, as well as the sound of the wind next to his ears.
Until the moment the sand and gravel on the ground got closer and closer to him, he jerked the rope with his feet and slowed down.
"Smack!"
"Alert!"
After landing, Gu Ji let out a low sigh and commanded a few people to cooperate with Gao Bo, pointing the muzzles of their guns in all directions and inspecting the surroundings.
"Safety!"
"I'm safe here!"
As Wu Kang and others reported one after another, everyone in the cabin also landed.
Gu Ji was a little surprised, but it was expected.
Zhuang Feng and Milburn didn't need help and completed the rope landing alone.
Although Milburn was an intelligence policeman, Gu Ji knew at a glance that he had served in the army, and his combat skills were definitely not weak, otherwise Harsha would not have sent him over as a liaison.
Zhuang Feng is different, for a police officer of the Ministry of Public Security, the skill of rope descent is already a bit "overstepped".
But no one paid attention to it.
Because what is in front of them is how to infiltrate the vicinity of the village as quickly as possible.
By the time the three helicopters turned around and returned, Liu Weijun and Gong Qingyong had already led people into the open-top off-road vehicle.
"Test test! Report to the command center, we have successfully reached the bottom of the target mountain and are preparing to drive into the mountain! β
While checking the radio signal, Gu Ji flipped up from the trunk with the stinger and sat upside down, holding the railing in his left hand and a rifle in his right hand, guarding the rear.
Engine start.
On the way to the barren mountain, Zhao Hua began to control the drone to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance.
Iran has a continental climate, dry and with little rainfall.
June is a hot time, and even at dusk, the air is full of dryness.
In addition to the yellow-green weeds, the wasteland is mostly a human-high shrub and a variety of strangely shaped boulders.
This has also become the only hidden object for them to infiltrate by car.
The off-road vehicles provided by the Revolutionary Guards performed fairly well, and the group drove all the way, crushing weeds and gravel to climb up.
As the sun gradually sets in the west, the surrounding light begins to dim.
The two cars turned off all light sources according to Gu Ji's request in the conference room, until they drove halfway up the mountain, and the tires of the vehicles frequently skidd, indicating that the slope was too great at this time, and the vehicles had reached the limit.
"Turn off the engine and get ready to walk!"
