Chapter 409 Secret Action I
At night, the stars are shining behind the thin sea fog. The U.S. military base in Djibouti is also brightly lit.
With the issuance of an order in the command tower, two C-130 Hercules transport aircraft slowly launched into the sky, circled in the sky for a week and flew south, gradually disappearing into the night sky.
Half an hour later, the two C-130s changed their routes and left in two directions. As the commander of this secret operation, Captain Augustine did not feel any pressure; but his good military accomplishment made him understand that he could not despise any enemy, even if he was just an unarmed woman or child. In Iraq and Afghanistan, he has heard and seen too many tragedies of being killed for their contempt for their opponents.
Check the HK416 in his hand again, and Augustine's attention was attracted by several soldiers in the cabin who were whispering and laughing. After boarding the plane, Augustine told his men the target of the mission. The men, who had a solemn expression, heard that the task was only to solve a non-political armed leadership in Somalia, and they all relaxed and no longer seemed to be dull at the beginning. For these elite soldiers from the Marine Corps, an African non-political axe armed force is too weak.
"Jimmy, you'd better hide behind me later, or I'm afraid I'll kill you as an enemy, haha..." Suddenly, a joke-filled laughter attracted the attention of the soldiers in the cabin. As soon as many people heard this sound, they knew that Charles was going to be funny again.
Known as Jimmy is a black man, and everyone knows that this task is to destroy a non-politically armed leadership, which is full of blacks and Arabs. It's reasonable for Charles to say so.
In this 16-person Marine Special Forces, everyone knows that Charles and Jimmy have some minor conflicts. They often argue about something, and they don't even know how many fights they have experienced. As the commander of this detachment, Augustine did not stop anything. In his opinion, the special forces should maintain this brave and aggressive style when there is no task, which can ensure the strong morale of one person and the whole.
Although Jimmy is a black man, there are many black people in the army. Nowadays, racial discrimination in the US [***] team is still much better than outside. As a machine gunner, Jimmy is also powerful. Hearing Charles's ridicule, he was not angry, and they didn't know how many times they had laughed at each other. If they had been angry every time, he might have been angry long ago."Charles, I think you should apply camouflage a little thicker. Your handsome little white face is an obvious target." His words mean to laugh at Charles, a white man on a mission in Africa. The goal is too obvious.
In this way, the two of them argued with each other again. At first, the other special forces who were still watching the jokes gradually felt bored. After all, when they often see this scene, they always feel visually tired.
"All's it, stop arguing. I'm repeating this task now. Do you think there are any loopholes? As soon as Augustine heard the noise in the cabin, he immediately frowned and shouted.
Jimmy and Charles, two noisy centers, immediately stopped when they heard the boss's scolding. Laughing at the opponent is just entertainment in his spare time, and the task is the most important at present.
"Our mission this time is to target a non-political axe armed force in the lower Juba state of southern Somalia - the Palamin Cooking Army. The mission goal of the other detachment is the same as ours, but they are going to the Sauken border to deal with another high-level officer of the Paraming Cooking Army; and our mission goal is the headquarters of the Paraming Cooking Army. According to our intelligence, there is only one company of guard soldiers and about 30 civilian officers in the headquarters of the Paraming Cooking Army. And our main target is this person, Hussein, Chief of Staff of the Palamin Cooking Army? Ben? Majid, an Arab-Somali, is also the number one person in the Palamin cooking army at present; Anli? Espier, nicknamed 'Fox', a Belgian, once served in the French Foreign Legion. After retiring, he joined the wolf mercenary. Later, for some reason, he joined the Paraming Cooking Army and became the head of the foreign affairs of the Paraparaming Cooking Army..." Augustine took out a stack of photos and distributed them to the soldiers and the information of these people. The material is introduced in detail.
"According to intelligence, this Paramin cooking army may be supported by a certain country behind it, so our other purpose tonight is to find evidence in this regard, and Hussein? Ben? Majid and Anli? As important figures of Paramin's cooking army, the two people must know the forces behind them. During the night operation, we must ensure the safety of the two people, and take capturing the two as the first task..." Augustine said the expected goal of the night mission again. The relaxed expressions on the faces of some soldiers gradually became solemn. After all, there are two different concepts of arresting people and killing people. It is enough to kill a bullet to hide in the dark. But to catch people, you have to defeat the other party.
As important figures of the Paraming cooking army, there must be elite guards around them. It is a relatively difficult task to capture them. However, everyone is an elite special forces soldier who has performed special missions many times, and this difficulty is not very difficult to pay attention to.
Seeing that several of his men still looked disdainful, Augustine frowned slightly. He knows these men very well. The strength is good, but also because the strength is good, everyone is relatively arrogant, and they will not use all their energy to deal with opponents who are not as strong as they are.
"There is a military camp less than one kilometer away from the headquarters of the Palamin Cooking Army. The first regiment of elite soldiers of the Paraming Cooking Army was originally stationed in it, but now the first regiment is already on the Sauken border. At present, there are two newly recruited regiments here, with a total of 1,200 recruits. Although these people pose little threat to us, what cannot be ignored is that they still pose a threat. The number of 1,200 is too large compared to more than a dozen of us. Moreover, our evacuation method is unfavorable. We have to escort the prisoners to feel the town of Badada, where cars can take us away. The main danger of tonight's mission is in two places, one is when attacking the headquarters of the Palamin cooking army, and the other is the ten-kilometer road between the headquarters to Badada Town..."
"Charles, what's your problem?" Augustine asked.
"Head, why don't we have a helicopter? Didn't we take two people to walk ten kilometers? Charles asked with some dissatisfaction. Previously, there were means of transportation back and forth in every mission, and even covered by the Air Force and Marine Corps. This mission doesn't matter if there is no air cover. Do you even have to retreat? Finally, do you have to leave in a car without armor? In this way, the dangerous surname of this mission has been suddenly upgraded to several levels.
Other soldiers are also dumb and look at Augustine. It's not terrible to walk, but it depends on where it is. Where is this place? Somalia!
Although the United States' "Peace Hope Action" has been around for more than ten years, it has brought a great shock to the United States [***] team. At that time, it was supported by the joint operations of the Rangers and the Delta, as well as dozens of helicopters of various types. In the end, so many people were lost. At present, there are only 16 of them, but they have to evacuate by walking, which is too dangerous.
The faces of many soldiers who had not paid attention to this task before have changed slightly.
"There is no support, no means of transportation." Augustine stared at several weak-faced men and said, "This mission is strictly confidential by the African Command and cannot attract any attention from the outside world. And helicopters are definitely not available. What are you? It's an American special forces and the elite of the Marine Corps. How can they be afraid without fighting? The area where we carry out our mission is vast and sparsely populated. Compared with Mogadishu, it is easier for everyone to move, and we will not encounter dense enemies at all..."
... "What's wrong?" Li Yanran, who was half squinting and enjoying the caress of her lover, suddenly felt that the evil hand on her chest stopped and immediately said with dissatisfaction. Rushui's eyes were seductively intoxicated, hinting at something.
"Nothing!" Li Mo smiled apologetically and lowered his head and kissed Li Yanran's slightly pouted mouth. Just now, there was a sudden feeling of palpitations in his heart, which was very disturbing. If it is an ordinary person, he must scneer at this kind of foreshadowing, but Li Mo is different. He had this plausible feeling many times before something big was about to happen. This is a prediction of danger that cannot be explained by science at all. After many experiments, Li Mo also attributed this to the fact that his spiritual power is different from ordinary people.
"Honey, what are you waiting for?" As soon as Li Yanran heard that it was okay, her bright eyes blinked, and a pair of white and tender arms immediately put around the man's neck. She raised her little mouth and said in a delicate voice full of **... When Li Mo was working hard and struggling to create the next generation, there was a low sound ten kilometers away from the headquarters of Paraming Cooking Army and the station of the Fifth Regiment. After that, gray clouds suddenly appeared one by one in the night sky, floating leisurely in the air.
Buried all the parachutes, and Augustine and the assembled team dived in one direction according to the satellite positioning instructions. The vigorous figures in the dark galloped up from time to time.
500 meters away from the headquarters of the Paraming Cooking Army, Augustine can see the whole Ming Cooking Army headquarters building even without the help of a night vision device. Two bright searchlights are shining on the sky and the gate, and a golden eagle flag representing Paraming's cooking army is flying in the breeze.
"The first group arrived at the scheduled location..."
"The second group arrives at the scheduled location..."
"The third group arrived at the predetermined position..." Three voices came from Augustine's headphones, which had been hanging and finally half relieved.
"Each group reports the results of the exploration!" Augustine gave a low command to the microphone.
"The situation of the first group is normal, two bright and one dark..."
"The situation of the second group is normal, three light and two dark..."
"The situation of the third group is abnormal. Oh, my God, why is there more than a platoon of guards here..." Charles's frightened cry came from the headphones.
The whole team consists of 16 special forces, divided into four combat groups and one support group. Because the investigation had long learned that there were no obstacles such as walls around the headquarters of Paraming's cooking, in order to ensure the completion of the task, Augustine's tactic was to attack on all sides at the same time to ensure that none of the enemies could escape. According to the information transmitted by the intelligence department, there is only one company of guard soldiers here. According to the usual practice, the number of people performing vigilance tasks at night will not exceed 30. However, there was a platoon of soldiers in the direction of Charles' third group, which was beyond the previous expectation and was an unexpected situation.
