Chapter 604: The Raid (I)
Depro is certainly not what Jason calls an Afghan village, a chaotic place with a population of hundreds of thousands, a huge small commodity market, and nine other blocks.
According to incomplete statistics from the Mexican government, there were 56 murders, 15 carjackings, 10 rapes, 8 shootings, 1 kidnapping and 7 random robberies of bystanders in the safest month.
And this statistics is still based on the fact that most people are forced by the pressure of the gangsters and do not dare to call the police at will, and the local police station is bribed by all employees, and almost completely does nothing.
If their target this time, Gonzalez, was hiding in that small commodity market, Jack probably could have given up directly, which was so crowded that it was impossible for even a motorcycle to pass smoothly during the day.
At night, the traffic may be better, but there are gangs patrolling with AKs everywhere, and you can't get in at all.
Fortunately, according to CISEN (Mexican Center for Investigation and Security), Gonzalez's hiding place is a small two-story building in the westernmost part of Depro, close to the very edge of this chaotic place.
It seems that the gangsters don't like to live in the center of the chaotic lands either, perhaps because in addition to Doza's forces, there are dozens of gangs large and small scattered here.
Under the guidance of Lieutenant Lopez, a native who grew up here, they were able to set up the nearest safety point, less than 800 meters from the target location, which would also be the number one evacuation point after the operation was completed.
The two SUVs stopped on a street corner after a lot of twists and turns, and the two Mexicans nervously pulled on their black masks as soon as they got out of the car, causing questions from the deputy Ray Perry.
"Are we here to rob the bank or to arrest Gonzalez?"
"All those who opposed Doza were killed." Colonel Martinez's face was unrecognizable, hidden under the mask, but his tone was serious.
"Hey, FBI kid, I know you know Spanish, do you know what they say in Spanish before they act?" Sonny patted Jack on the shoulder and asked curiously.
"May the Force be with you." Jack began to talk nonsense in Spanish in a serious way.
"OK, may the Force be with you." Sonny turned around and patted Lieutenant Lopez again, repeating Jack's words to him, so that the latter almost didn't hold on.
The crowd formed a defensive formation back to back, while the voice of Intelligence Officer Mandy Ellis came from within the channel, "Bravo Two, this is the center of operations, and your target is a pink two-story building, 500 meters away in a straight line on the east side. ”
It is reassuring to look at the drone in the sky, Jack subconsciously looked up at the sky, but unfortunately the drone at a height of thousands of meters is already invisible to the naked eye.
"Roger, Operations Center, over." Ray Perry, the deputy of the call code name B2, replied and looked at Captain Jason, waiting for his order.
"Fast forward, come on, guys." After Jason finished speaking, he patted the B6 Clay Spencer on the back, he and B5 Brock Reynolds were arranged as assault vanguards, and today there was no need for the dog Cerberus to go out, it was left at the base.
Jack followed, and he and Jason followed closely behind the lead two, and apart from the two Mexicans, Team B today had a rare unification of their primary weapons, all of them with a 10.5-inch barrel version of the HK416D assault rifle with a silencer.
Straight through the wasteland on the street corner, the team marched in two columns side-by-side in a search formation, and after passing through the narrow alley, a public compound covered in rubble and piled with debris and garbage appeared in front of them.
A scrawny young man happened to meet them, turned around in fright, ran away, and hid through a small door.
The sudden sound of "bangbang" sounded, accompanied by loud shouting and scolding in Spanish, made the atmosphere suddenly tense.
Jack observed as he walked, and under one roof, a young Mexican man who had lost a leg was sitting on the steps, holding a baseball bat, tapping the gasoline cans beside him, still shouting warnings.
I don't know who he was notifying, but the rules of engagement were very clear before, entering Depro must not fire first, they are here to arrest people, not to carry out massacres, there is no way to take this kind of little minion.
When passing through the public courtyard, the two columns split in two, avoiding the open area in the middle from the courtyard walls on both sides, and when they entered another alley, they were again together.
"Bravo6, a little faster." Jason urged, and the speed of the entire team suddenly increased by a few points.
The warning did not come as a surprise to them, and the good thing about the Troublelands was that while they alarmed the birds throughout the forest, the birds did not know which of them was the real target of the hunters.
All Team B has to do is throw the net out before they can completely alarm the birds and get them flying around.
"Bravo1, this is the center of operations, and we've seen five armed adult males appear a kilometer north of you." Major Eric Blackburn's voice came from the channel.
It seems that the other party's reaction is still very fast, but Team B is moving faster, and after passing through an alley full of clothes again, the small pink building on the second floor has already appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"Roger, Operations Center, retrieved through the Golden Retriever." Jason replied.
"Roger, retrieved by Golden Retriever." Major Eric Blackburn repeated.
The small building is surrounded by a concrete wall in a small semicircular courtyard, and a rusty iron gate blocks everyone's way.
"Explode it." Jason commanded.
B5 Brock Reynolds pulled out a small pack of C4 and stuck it above the door lock, while the rest of the team stood guard against the wall, their guns pointed at the opposite and side buildings.
"Bang!" After a small explosion, the iron door was blown open, and Jason was the first to enter the courtyard, followed by Jack, and there was also a wooden door locked here, and the two of them leaned against the wall, one left and one right.
The rest of the team members spread out in the courtyard, guarding the balcony on the second floor in front and the rooftop of the building behind.
B2 Ray Perry took off the M870 shotgun hanging from his waist, stuffed two door-breaking bullets, and fired two shots diagonally at the door lock, and the moment the door opened, the stun bomb in Jack's hand was thrown in.
Almost at the same time as the explosion sounded, Jason entered the building first, and there was a staircase at the entrance of the first floor, and an armed man with an Uzi submachine gun heard the sound and went out of the house to check, and as soon as he reached the staircase, he fired three shots and knocked him down.
Jack, who was following him, raised the muzzle of his gun and aimed it at the staircase on the second floor, there was someone in front of him, and his warning range could not coincide, so he kept his feet on his feet, but kept looking up to pay attention to the movement above.
Sure enough, with the sound of subtle footsteps, a figure appeared, Jack directly pulled the trigger, and with a few gunshots that were slightly muffled by the effect of the silencer, the body rolled down the stairs.
According to the previously arranged grouping, B1 Jason, B7 (temporary) Jack and B2 Ray Perry were responsible for cleaning the first floor, B4 Trent Sawyer, B5 Brock Reynolds and B6 Clay Spencer were in charge of the basement, and B3 Sonny Quinn and two Mexicans were in charge of the upper floor.
So as Jason continued to break into the room, the team of nine automatically split into three, Sonny went up the stairs to the second floor, and the other group pulled the lid from the stairwell to the basement and dropped two stun grenades directly down.
It's cool to work with the army, you can completely ignore the principle of minimum force, as long as there is a room where there is a suspected person, Jack doesn't say a word and throws a shock bomb to open the other party's eyes.
It took less than five minutes for the three people in charge of the first floor to clear all the rooms, and they found nothing but two more bodies, and failed to find Gonzalez, who had tattoos all over his head.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of a shotgun from the second floor, followed by an accented curse from Lieutenant Lopez in the communication channel, "My eyes. This was followed by the continuous firing of HK416 and AR-15 assault rifles.
