Chapter 196 Surrounding the Delta
In the corridor on the second floor of the small building, the dim light shines. The Delta players saw John's fingers bent, as if holding a cylindrical object in front of him.
Sniper!
Seeing John's gesture, the other members of the Delta were shocked at the same time.
This is the place where they have lived for more than a month, and they check it in the surrounding space of 1,000 meters every day; but now, when they are about to go on a mission, there are snipers outside the small building!
The other players did not doubt John's prompt. As a member of the Delta Special Forces, he has mastered top skills, and the Delta Special Forces of their detachment has also experienced the Iraq War, and the grasp of the danger of surname and ** is also trained.
Now lingering in everyone's mind is the unknown sniper outside! As a captain, a wisp of anxiety gradually rose in Brent's heart. The night sky in the east is still bright. The explosion and gunshots never stopped for a moment.
As a member of the U.S. military, their duty is to fight for the interests of the United States. But at this critical time, he was blocked by a mysterious sniper, which made Brent angry.
However, Brent was not impulsive, but gestured to the other two snipers in the squad except himself.
In front of the door of the Suzhou-style building, there is a flat land of dozens of square meters; in the four corners and center of the flat, there is a half-meter-high flower bed, in which some unknown flowers and plants are planted.
Outside the flat ground, it is the forest that surrounds the whole small building. The trees in the woods are not dense, standing in twos and threes.
The reason why the Delta detachment used this place as a temporary place to live was because there was a layer of trees on the periphery of it, and the location was secret. And because Kandahar Airport is a few hundred meters away, the Delta team can fly to any place where they are needed through this airport controlled by the U.S. military at any time.
In addition to bringing a layer of natural concealment to the small building, the outer grove can also make the delta not be made dumplings when it encounters a sudden situation.
Although it is not clear how many people are ambushed there, anyone in the Delta detachment knows that the enemy outside the small building will never be just the sniper.
Because since the other party dares to lie in ambush outside, he knows who lives in the small building. The Delta team lives in this small Soviet-style building. Although it is very secretive, a group of Westerners are full of Central Asians, and there will always be some clues known by people.
But there is nothing we can do. In the war zone, this war zone is still another country. It's impossible to do everything foolproof. The reason why Delta did not put the station in the 402 machine walk camp is because of their special surname. No matter what the special forces say, one of them is that they need to be secret. If you mix with a group of ordinary soldiers, some secrets will always be unconscious and will be exposed.
Although it is very contradictory. But that's the truth. A temporary residence and a delta internal secret, which is more important, has the right choice.
He Xiaoqiang lay under a tree at the far end, watching the two Delta special forces crawl towards the flower beds on both sides of the door of the small building from Barrett's scope. The pouting buttocks are very conspicuous.
"Fuck, this kind of thing dares to call itself a special forces soldier! Bah!" He Xiaoqiang spit out disdainfully and muttered in his heart.
He didn't think that the strength of both sides was not at the same level. Now one side occupies the right time and place, and the other side begins to know nothing about it. The ambush side was also led by two former Delta retired special forces. It skillfully crossed the alarm trap arranged by the Delta detachment. Otherwise, He Xiaoqiang could not have taken the initiative so easily.
And the delta is not a fancy. They are all elites in the U.S. military, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
When the two delta snipers acted, the other team members acted separately under Brent's gesture. As the captain and the only heavy sniper in the team, Brent and two machine gunners slipped back to the building. The three of them are going to the roof and occupy the commanding heights.
Michael's bodyguards are all led by a middle-aged man named Tom. Tom is also Michael's bodyguard captain, with an annual salary of one million dollars. Of course, this is also related to Tom's own strength.
Tom is from the Special Air Service Regiment of the British Special Forces. April 3, 1980. Five Iranian militants occupied the British Embassy in Iran. 26 people were taken hostage. At that time, Britain sent 24 special forces of the Special Air Service Regiment to rescue. Tom is one of the 24 special forces.
Although Tom is nearly fifty years old now. My physical fitness is not as good as when I was in my 20s. But his old-fashioned experience is what Michael needs when he often walks in the war zone. After eight years with Michael, he won the trust of Michael and became the bodyguard captain.
Tom is confident in his opponent, but now he is facing the U.S. special forces. Although the Delta Special Forces, in Tom's opinion, are not as good as the Special Air Service Corps. But now the other party has an advantage in number of people and weapons and equipment. In particular, Tom was a little worried about the 14 young Orientals.
Tom has always been disdainful of Li Mo's group of young people who are no more than 20 years old. If there are geniuses in the world, Tom believes. A genius can get comprehensive and rigorous training before the age of 20 and become a master comparable to that of special forces. But Tom doesn't believe that all 14 young people belong to that kind of genius. He doesn't believe that there are so many geniuses. If there are more than a dozen geniuses, geniuses will not be eye-catching in today's society.
"Captain He, the other party has begun to act. What should we do next? Tom leaned behind the tree closest to He Xiaoqiang. The sideways body and the trunk just overlap. In this place where there is no fixed bunker. Tom can protect himself better by hiding like this. At least Tom's life will not be in danger until the tree is pierced by a heavy sniper rifle.
He Xiaoqiang secretly despised this foreigner. When is it? Do you still test yourself? He Xiaoqiang is also disdainful of this group of foreign special forces from special forces. Although the experience is richer than that of the Meteor Commando, its comprehensive quality is not at the same level.
"Captain Tom, you have a lot of experience. Why don't it be up to you to decide what to do? He Xiaoqiang turned his eyes and kicked the ball back.
He doesn't care how Tom conducts. In the eyes of He Xiaoqiang and other meteor commandos members. At present, this battle is just a grinding for them. It's not even a sharpening, but an opportunity to see the special forces of other countries.
Tom didn't expect that the young man who had been grandiose would kick the ball back directly. For a moment, he didn't know how to act.
In Tom's heart, he is not sure about this sniper mission. They belong to the same special forces. If there is not much difference between the number of people between the two sides, it is difficult to distinguish a winner. Especially when fighting to the death. However, this task is just to stop these Delta special forces and prevent them from supporting the battle in the east.
"Why don't we let the sniper move first and create some pressure on the other party?" Tom said softly.
Although it is quiet in the woods. But the war in the east and the noise in the airport a few hundred meters away. It covered up the voices of the two people talking.
He Xiaoqiang pouted and didn't say anything. Suddenly, his face turned right. Through the low-light scope, he turned around the outside of the small building and set it on a flower bed on the left.
He remembered that a sniper from the other party was hiding behind the flower bed just now. However, He Xiaoqiang did not move. He knew that the diameter of the flower bed was about one meter. The outer layer is made of cement, and the inside is sand. With such a thick barrier, even a 12.7mm sniper rifle is difficult to break through. Even if it is pierced, the bullet is not accurate. The sniper hiding behind the flower bed can definitely escape.
He Xiaoqiang doesn't do uncertain things. An impulse suddenly rose in his heart. That's to show a kill to Tom around him. The Meteor Commando is the king of the special forces.
As soon as the breath on the body changed, it convered in an instant. He Xiaoqiang, who was lying there quietly, was like a sculpture lying on the ground. If he hadn't been talking just now, Tom would have thought it was a fallen sculpture!
The atmosphere around the small building is getting more and more depressing. Even some unknown insects covered their mouths and got back into the hole.
Both sides are the elite of the soldiers. No one started to fire. Special forces, in addition to outstanding skills, good perseverance is also possessed by a qualified special forces.
The war in the East is becoming more and more fierce. Brent, who was hidden behind the roof skylight, became more and more anxious. If it weren't for the support needed at Camp 402, Brent would be very willing to spend time with the other party.
But now the situation at the machine camp seems to be bad. If the motor camp is destroyed by the Taliban guerrillas. For the United States, it is simply a loud slap in the face. For this reason, I don't know how many people will resign. Brent is no exception.
Because this delta detachment is stationed here to support the aircraft infantry battalion. Kandahar is the home of the Taliban's armed home. There are a lot of Taliban here, and they are also very secretive. You don't know whether a middle-aged uncle in slippers and a shabby bicycle on the street is a Taliban militant.
But now the temporary residence in the Delta is surrounded by a group of strangers.
Five minutes later, Brent's anxiety was now on his face. Gritting his teeth, he quietly passed Barrett through the skylight and saw a figure squatting behind the tree in the left forest from the infrared thermal imaging scope.Taking a deep breath, Brent pulled the trigger.
"Ban!" A loud noise broke the calm here. The sound of a 12.7mm sniper rifle, not to mention earth-shaking, is not comparable to that of an ordinary automatic rifle.
Just as a smile hung on the corner of Brent's mouth, the eyes behind the scope suddenly stared at the boss. He found that the target he had just fired had moved, and it quickly crossed a distance of more than two meters to the back of another tree.
I missed it! How can it be! Brent could hardly believe his eyes. He is the first sniper of this team. Aim at a target that opened fire, but it was not hit!
Suddenly, Brent's head shrank and then rolled to the right.
"Dad..."
Brent saw that the position he had just stood had been hit with holes. He estimated that at least 10 automatic rifles had just opened fire on him.
On the ground two meters away from the skylight, Brent was not lucky at all, but his worries were even more strong. He only fired a shot. In such a short time, the other party had 10 automatic weapons to find his position and fire. In particular, the position hit by the other party is under the skylight of less than 1 meter square meter. Brent felt that if the area hit by the opponent was calculated, there would be only a cube 1 meter long and no more than 30 centimeters wide at most.
What does this mean? It shows that the other party is not only responsive, but also a sharpshooter. This window is more than 200 meters away from the woods. Each of the other party's 10 automatic rifles fired one by one, and all 30 bullets hit a 0.3-square-meter wall. What kind of shooting is this? What's more, when the other party opened fire, there was absolutely no time to aim, but instinctively after Brent shot, he reacted and raised his gun to fire at Brent's standing position!
Mygod! Brent lay on the cement floor and exclaimed to himself.
Who are these people? Before that, Brent guessed in his mind that the sniper outside was a Taliban militant. They came to stop the Delta detachment from supporting the war in the east. But now after seeing the other party's shooting, Brent became suspicious again.
The Taliban has snipers, and Brent knows very well. Although he was proud of himself as a member of the U.S. special forces, he did not underestimate any opponent. A person who is arrogant and despises his opponent can't become a commander. In the U.S. military, it is not that there are no such gilded powerful children, but they will not become front-line army commanders, but as an auxiliary work such as a staff officer in the military headquarters.
Brent's ability to become a lieutenant colonel commander of a detachment in the delta was completely up by himself step by step.
Just as Brent racked his brains to think about the countermeasures, the communicator on his shoulder vibrated.
After thechannel was connected, the roar of Tony, the battalion commander of the aircraft battalion, came from the communicator.
" Lieutenant Colonel Brent, don't you know that there is a war here? Why didn't you come to support me? Do you want to watch the machine camp be destroyed by the other party? I'm going to the headquarters to sue you and take you to the military court..."
The roar and explosion from the communicator hit Brent's heart. Brent didn't care about Tony's threat. He had a good relationship with Tony and knew that it was a critical time for the other party. Otherwise, it won't be such a deligent roar.
"Lt. Colonel Tony, I also want to support you immediately and get rid of those damn indigenous people." Brent explained with a wry smile.
"So where are you now? Why don't I see your Delta team in action?" After Tony vented, the anger had slowed down a lot, and the tone of his voice calmed down.
"This is what I'm going to tell you. A very bad news. Brent said in a low voice, "I'm surrounded by a group of mysterious people with superb shooting techniques, and I can't support you for the time being!"
Tony didn't hear it clearly at first, but soon reacted and asked in disbelief, "What? Are you surrounded? Damn, it must be Taliban militants. Can't you deal with those indigenous rats?"
No matter what he says, Tony has to admit it in the bottom of his heart. The Delta members are of higher quality and much stronger than the soldiers of the machine-walking battalion in his hand. At this time, when I heard that the delta was surrounded, the first thought of the other party was joking. In Afghanistan, where can we be armed to surround a detachment of Delta Special Forces?
"Really Tony, the situation here is still very bad. I don't even know how many people there are now. But it is certain that the other party is composed of a group of extremely powerful people, with a number of between 10 and 40 people. In a short time, I can't help you here!" Brent said here, and his mouth was full of bitterness. The magnificent Delta Special Forces were actually surrounded by people! And it is still very closely surrounded. After seeing the opponent's shooting, Brent had no idea of breaking through. He is now considering whether it is time for him to ask his superiors for support. With the other party's shooting, breaking through is simply an act of looking for death. Because no special forces can fully exert 100% of their strength when breaking through the siege. After all, when breaking through, he must distract some of his energy to 'run away'.
When they were holding each other, the two sides did not dare to act rashly. If one side wants to break through, it will definitely show a flaw. At this time, a flaw will be revealed. That's equivalent to being seized by the enemy. It will be a fatal blow.
"...Then be careful. I will ask for support from Baglem Air Force Base, and I hope we can live until the air force support arrives!" Tony was silent for a moment before he said quietly. At this time, Tony's heart was also full of pessimism. Baklem Air Base is 300 kilometers away from Kandahar. It takes 20 minutes for the supporting plane to arrive here. Whether the machine walking camp can withstand 20 minutes is still unknown.
"Bing for everything, Lieutenant Colonel Tony. If it really doesn't work, find a way to break through. As long as the machine walking camp is still there, we will take it back here!" Brent said solemnly, and the two hung up the communication at the same time.
" Bang bang..." The sound of gunfire came from outside the small building.
It turned out that after 10 automatic weapons fired at Brent, some Delta players keenly observed some of the enemy's hiding places. Although modern weapons are equipped with flame suppressors, they still cannot completely control the flames exposed at the muzzle. In the dark woods, fire with an automatic rifle, and the flame at the muzzle is a clear flaw.
Delta team members took this opportunity to fire on the exposed target from the hiding place. But how did they know that the people who just fired were all members of the Meteor Commando. After shooting, they moved their hiding place. The speed is very fast. Even if the Delta counterattacks in a short time, it does not encounter a single hair of the members of the Meteor Commando.
In addition to this, it exposes the secret location of the Delta players. Locked by the members of the re-secret meteor commando.
