This was the first large-scale operation of the Dongfeng Corps in Syria.

Of course, in order to avoid revealing their identities and to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, the performance of the Dongfeng Corps was extremely low-key.

There are no armored personnel carriers, no large bulletproof off-road vehicles with piercing eyes, and even less tanks, aircraft, artillery.

They only drove the most common trucks and pickup trucks in the Syrian government army, and the slightly conspicuous one was nothing more than a GAZ-2330 light armored off-road vehicle.

However, the real weapon configuration of this team is a bit scary to throw out.

The Avantgarde-12 man-soldier missile, the PF89 cloudburst bomb that has never been seen on any battlefield for a limited time, the American M120 large-caliber mortar, the Type 63-1 60mm mortar, two 107mm towed rocket launchers common in Syria, the RG-6 individual grenade launcher, the AGS-30 automatic grenade, and other powerful individual weapons.

Of course, in addition to the "firepower", the informatization level of the entire team is also improving.

Two Type 206 ultra-short-range reconnaissance UAVs, 4 small remote-controlled reconnaissance vehicles, a complete set of wireless communication equipment, 12 thermal fusion night vision devices, and 40 ordinary GPNVG-18 thermal imaging night vision devices.

Finally, there is special operations equipment tailored to the environment of the Syrian firefight.

A wall-piercing detector, a 16-way anti-sniper radar captured from SEAL Six, a shaped bulletproof shield used by Maozi, and, of course, two dogs, Nezha and Ruby Treasure.

"The largest settlement has hundreds of households and thousands of people, and the smallest settlement may be a few houses and a dozen people."

Of course, this is to minimize the suspicion of the outside world, but Chen Shen actually thinks that such an identity arrangement is quite stupid.

After all, what has Syria become now, and is the government still in the mood to take care of nature reserves? ——

But don't say hey.

"So what's our plan? Sweeping all the way through? ”

This gave Chen Shen the confidence to "cut off the beard", and he had reason to believe that as long as he seized the opportunity to get the information, it was not completely impossible to kill bin Laden before them

Thinking of this, Chen Shen withdrew his gaze from the yellow sand in the sky, and began to seriously study the map in his hand.

——

Map of Ressafa.

Looking at his frowning expression, the white dog on the side asked curiously:

"Are we really going to bin Laden? Is he really in Resafa? ”

In fact, Resafa is not a standard Syrian settlement, it is the site of the ruins of the Byzantine Empire's LS Fa Palace, which is essentially a "relic monument", except that, because of its religious peculiarities, the people living in the neighborhood spontaneously worship and maintain it, and eventually form a small loose settlement.

IT CAN BE SAID THAT THE COMBAT EFFECTIVENESS OF THE ENTIRE SQUAD HAS BEEN STRETCHED TO THE LIMIT WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE CONDITIONS, AND EVEN IF THE DEVGRU REALLY ENTERS SYRIA, THEY CANNOT BE STRONGER THAN THE DONGFENG CORPS ONLY IN TERMS OF INDIVIDUAL EQUIPMENT AND SQUAD EQUIPMENT.

The white dog nodded thoughtfully, and didn't ask too much.

"However, we don't have any clues at hand now, and all we can rely on is an ambiguous piece of information from Maozi."

"If you want to do it, it's still too difficult."

That is, since 2014, it has become an important sanctuary for ISIS.

"Indeed."

"Understood."

At this time, the convoy of the Dongfeng Corps had already passed through Meskenay and was only 50 kilometers away from Tabka.

Chen Shen looked out the window again, and under the bright sun, the scenery of Lake Assad was clearly visible.

According to the plan, they will be stationed near the westernmost lake of Liberty, nominally "to cooperate with the relevant government departments to promote the construction of the Tabuka Nature Reserve", that is, their identity is actually a group of "forest police".

"Or are we trying to keep an eye on a few important targets, and when we spot the SEAL6's movements, we can get ahead of them?"

So in a sense, this arrangement can be regarded as acting in its true colors.

"Perhaps, what other clues can we get from the Nakshbandi Order Army?"

"The problem is that Resafa is a large area, and it's not just a small area of the LS Law Palace."

"Yes, he will definitely do it, but if he is not in Resaffa, it's hard to say."

"I'm just going to take a look - how to do it, and I'll talk about it when the Tabuka thing is over."

Hearing his words, Chen Shen nodded slightly and replied:

"We can only stare at the CIA."

For in their eyes, these monuments are signs of "idolatry" and are completely different from the beliefs they hold up.

It is nowhere near as well-known as other monuments in Syria, but there is one thing that makes it stand out from the crowd.

The white dog asked in surprise.

These JD elements took advantage of the reluctance of the United States and NATO to launch terrorist attacks in the archaeological area, unscrupulously expanded their power, and when the value of the area was completely drained, they did not hesitate to blow up the entire monument completely.

"It makes sense to assume that ISIS does tend to choose monuments as their hiding place, and if bin Laden does cooperate with them, then the probability of his appearance in Ressafa should be greater than 70 percent."

Chen Shen couldn't understand ISIS's brain circuits at all, but fortunately, what he had to do was not to try to persuade the other party with words, but to completely destroy it with artillery fire.

"The Naqshbandi Order has an intersection with ISI, ISI has an intersection with Al Qaeda, and Al Qaeda has an intersection with Osama bin Laden – so the odds are quite high."

Chen Shen shook his head amusedly and replied:

"By the time we actually saw Team Six, they were probably done."

He was fascinated by the fact that his spinning brain was temporarily emptied, and by the time he had recovered from this relaxation, the convoy had entered the main city of Tabca.

The white dog nodded approvingly, and then asked:

"In fact, a large area of desert south of Tabuka could be considered the Resafa region, and dozens of small settlements are loosely scattered across this area."

In the previous life, during the civil war in Syria, they did do such things.

"How is that possible!"

"Can they still intersect?"

He sketched out all the possible shelters on the map with a pen, but the work did not go smoothly without the aid of real-time satellite imagery.

"Osama bin Laden could be in any settlement, and it would be too difficult for us to investigate them one by one without specific information."

After entering the predetermined location, the Dongfeng Corps quickly deployed, and then, Chen Shen met Su Haier, who had arrived in advance, and under his command, led all the members of the Dongfeng Corps to complete the camp.

The entire camp is hidden in a very sparse forest in Syria, and the vehicles are covered with infrared shielding materials, and the tents used have been replaced with jungle camouflage livery.

This minimizes the possibility of the Dongfeng Corps being attacked by precise air strikes, and also shows the meticulousness of Su Haier's thinking from the side.

Looking at the mercenaries of the Dongfeng Corps who were checking the equipment in the camp, Su Haier's eyes showed a little envy.

"I thought you were just a very small special operations team, but now it doesn't seem like that at all."

"The layout of your camp is very reasonable, and the whole unfolding process is very smooth."

"It's not something that special forces are familiar with—you're more like the elite of a really systematically trained, large army."

"It's really rare, you know, that's what my Tiger Corps wants to learn."

"We can't just do a single mission like other special forces, coming in a helicopter and leaving in a helicopter."

"We have to set up camp, we have to rest, we have to move, we have to pursue, and at the same time, we have to complete extremely difficult special tasks."

"I think the form of your mercenary group is the form that the Tiger Corps needs."

"To be honest, I've never seen the same trait in any special forces in the world – how did you decide to go in that direction?"

"I didn't decide, it was decided by the battlefield."

Chen Shen replied frankly.

"Battlefield decision? Pubei? ”

Su Haier looked at Chen Shen curiously and continued to ask:

"But Pubei doesn't need such a combat mode, right? In my impression, the area of Pubei is not very large, and theoretically speaking, it should be more suitable for fast in and fast out."

"That's because you only see the distance in space, and you don't take into account the peculiarities of the terrain."

Chen Shen shook his head with a smile and replied:

"Fighting in the jungle is not the same thing as fighting in a desert environment."

"A lot of times, we can only advance less than 10 kilometers a day-—— Ling said, can we do it without camping and steady?"

"Indeed."

Su Haier was stunned, and at this time, looking at the various performances of the Dongfeng Corps, he already had a deeper understanding in his heart.

After a moment of sighing, Suhail took Chen Shen to the tent where the temporary operations command room was located, lifted the dust cloth on the sand table, and revealed a large-scale map of Tabur.

On the map, all important buildings and roads have been marked, and the location of the identified forces has been clearly marked.

Seeing this map, Chen Shen couldn't help but nod secretly.

is worthy of Su Haier, his success is definitely not just fought by reckless battles

"What's the specifics?"

Chen Shen asked.

Suhail coughed and replied:

"At this point, we have demarcated three areas within the city of Tabur that are most likely to be the headquarters of the Order."

"They are, the Omar Mosque, the Annar Hotel, and the Liberty Lake Farm."

"According to intelligence, there are frequent visits to these three locations, and the time of appearance of raw faces is basically within two months."

"The Tabuka police have completed a thorough investigation ahead of schedule to combat poaching and smuggling."

"From their feedback, the strangers inside the Omar Mosque are not armed, and the Liberty Lake Farm is armed, but they are legally armed by the farmer."

"The situation at the Anal Hotel is more complicated, and there are a group of unarmed businessmen who are all in possession of legal passports."

"But you also know that almost every businessman who entered Syria at such a time is suspicious."

"So, we're still on the suspicion list."

After listening to Su Haier's introduction, Chen Shen nodded slightly and continued to ask:

"The current intelligence is too vague, have you found relatively obvious evidence or clues?"

"There is no -—— at this time, after all, our investigation has only just begun, and we can't even confirm whether these three suspicious locations are related to the targets."

Speaking of this, Su Haier sighed and explained:

"So the most troublesome point is here, we know that the target is likely to be hiding inside the city of Tabca, but we can't use official forces to investigate it with great fanfare."

"As you know, the Order is a bunch of lunatics who would rather commit suicide than be captured, and if the other side detects our movements, they are likely to abandon all the gains they have made and move at any cost."

"At that point, it will be even more difficult to find them."

"Therefore, we need to use your strength."

"We?"

Chen Shen was stunned for a moment and replied:

"To be honest, I don't have a good idea."

"If you want to find them, what other choice is there but to search house by house?"

"Our search is the same as your search, as long as someone is searching, it is already a startling snake."

"Hit the grass and scare the snake. Good analogy. ”

Su Hail nodded slightly and explained:

"But I don't need you to search the whole city."

"I need you to cause chaos in the city."

"Or to put it more bluntly, I need you to create a kidnapping."

"The target is the 'foreign merchants' in the Anna Hotel hotel."

"Seriously??"

Chen Shen's eyes widened in surprise and asked:

"What's the point?"

"The implication is that we can get a reasonable reason to take over the security management system in Tabuka."

"And after the takeover, we can get more space to move around and launch more covert reconnaissance operations."

"If we are lucky, the foreign merchants of the Anal Hotel are the commanders of the Order Army, then we can directly declare this operation a success."

"To be honest, the plan is stupid."

Chen Shen interrupted Su Haier's words and continued:

"Too complicated, too tortuous, and a complex and tortuous plan, as long as there is a little deviation in the execution process, will lead to the collapse of the whole plan."

"What about the hijacking of foreign merchants, in essence, it was just a raid of luck."

"It's good to catch someone, but if you can't catch someone, people are not stupid."

"You can think of three steps, and he can think of five steps."

"Everyone is playing chess, don't think your opponent will be stupider than you."

After listening to Chen Shen's words, Su Haier frowned.

But after a moment, he sighed again and said:

"That's true, but I really can't do it better."

"Tabuca is overpopulated, a full-scale search is simply impossible, we"

"I have a better plan."

Chen Shen interrupted again.

"What's the plan?"

Suhaier's eyes lit up.

Chen Shen took a deep breath and replied:

"The plan is simple."

"Don't let the other person fall behind."

"We can make this city. Complete suffocation. ”
