This is the picture that popped out of Shepard's mind involuntarily when he was in the African jungle. Without him, the sense of immediacy of sneaking around is too strong. The jungle, camouflage uniforms, and fal automatic rifles are hard not to remind people of. elegant.
"Africans are really awesome!"
Shepard looked at the terrible dirt road that passed through the primeval forest and couldn't help but complain. Because of the condition of this dirt road, how should I put it? Maybe the Roman Avenue built by the Romans was better than it. infrastructure.
After all, the Romans still knew how to build a foundation, and the workers who built this dirt road probably just cut down the trees on it, and then left the rest of the process to the vehicles that would pass by here later.
After decades of grinding and soaking by rainy season rainfall, this winding road, which is only 60 kilometers long, finally successfully changed from a straight line to a wavy line. Because of the wet road and the crushing of trucks, , it is easy to cause collapse, and such collapses are all over the entire road. Larger mud pits can even be used as swimming pools. Therefore, the moving speed of any truck driver here is even calculated in terms of 100 meters per hour, a 60-kilometer road. A long road usually takes two or three days to drive out.
A considerable number of United Mining's convoys also have to pass through here, including a gold mine. However, this place is inaccessible, and almost no villages are willing to stay in the forest, so even if rescue is needed, it has to come from hundreds of kilometers away. ,
But this is no problem for Shadow Company, because they have helicopters!
Shepard led five carefully selected precision shooters to descend here. They wanted to cut off the transportation channel of United Mining. In order to throw the blame for this operation to Francois, Shepard had long ago Spread the news and tell everyone that Francois has run away.
But in fact, Francois, who was beaten up, was still locked in a secret water prison in the camp and would not be released until his ransom was delivered.
In order to disguise themselves as French, Shepard and the others also took off the gray uniforms of Shadow Company and put on French camouflage. Even their weapons were changed from M16 to FAL automatic rifles.
Because in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the only force that uses fal rifles on a large scale is Francois's mercenaries!
In order to act more like a character, Shepard made a request to the action team. No one is allowed to speak English. This is admittedly a bit difficult, but fortunately, Shadow Company is still Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, two immigrants from Northern Ireland. The veteran of the family can speak Irish, and the remaining three can speak some simple Japanese, one knows some Mexican, and the other can speak some Italian. Although everyone's language skills are limited to simple words and short sentences, they may Daily conversations are problematic, but it’s okay to yell a few words to show off!
"It's already three o'clock, why haven't their trucks climbed out yet?"
Shepard squatted in the grass and looked at the end of the road. When they set off, the local enthusiastic people who were responsible for watching told Shepard that the truck transporting gold mines from United Mining was only thirty kilometers away from the scheduled location, and they flew here. Even after waiting for another four hours, he still didn't see the other party. Seeing that it was getting dark, Shepard knew that he would have to live in the jungle today. After all, the target truck would definitely not move at night.
So he and his team members could only use the tools in their hands to open up a simple camp near the road. After completing the deworming and disinfection work, everyone took turns to rest here.
Then, the next morning, when Shepard, who was in charge of the last shift, fell asleep against a tree with his gun in his arms, he finally heard a distant roar.
Immediately, Shepard quickly woke up the few people who were catching up on their sleep, and everyone quickly lined up along the road on the left. Although a two-sided ambush sounded more effective, in fact, in a two-sided ambush on this kind of road, you have to fight. Should you ambush the target or attack your own people?
Shepard took off the rifle belt from his neck, then slung the rifle over his right shoulder. Then he raised his binoculars and looked at the road a hundred meters away. As the roar became clearer, an eight-wheeler loaded with cargo appeared. The heavy-wheel truck was driving on the complicated road bit by bit at an extremely slow speed.
Behind the heavy truck, there was also a jeep with three white men sitting in the car. They looked like security guards from United Mining. It seemed that United Mining was quite worried about their belongings being robbed. Logically speaking, the three armed security guards , plus the driver and co-pilot, it is enough to deal with ordinary thieves. Even the most determined ones will be scared away by the famous name of United Mining.
But the problem is, Shepard is not an ordinary person, he is here to cause trouble!
Seeing the heavy truck getting closer and closer, Shepard immediately gestured with tactical sign language behind him. He was telling the team members not to destroy the truck, not to rush to kill people, and to prioritize control.
After confirming that everyone had received the order, Shepard grabbed his rifle and waited for the truck to approach.
When the truck was less than twenty meters away from him, a bomb that had been set long ago was detonated, blowing up the big tree on the side of the road, and then the big tree fell in the direction of the road, blocking the road in an instant.
The sudden fall of a big tree made the driver subconsciously apply the brakes to stop the truck. The jeep behind also stopped quickly and was ready to come over to check the situation. As a result, several security guards on the car didn't even get out of the car when the bullets shattered them. The windshield was smashed, and the three of them were so frightened that they rolled out of the car without even getting their hands on the gun.
Then, Shepard, with camouflage painted on his face, led his men out of the forest. He did not use the fully automatic mode to operate the fal. Although in close combat, full automatic is often more advantageous, but semi-automatic shooting is more Able to maintain a rhythm, he pulled the trigger one after another, suppressing the three security guards behind the jeep.
After firing the bullets, Shepard, who was walking at the front of the team, immediately shouted in French to change the ammunition, then moved to the second position, and the team member who was just second took over his position and continued to fire. Six The individual divided into three groups and drove directly onto the road, trapping the three guards behind the jeep.
At this moment, the three of them did not dare to raise their heads at all. They only dared to fire randomly with their pistols. After a few shots, they ran out of bullets. Seeing that there was no movement, Shepard immediately shouted in French for the three of them to surrender.
Hearing his fluent French, a guard immediately asked Shepard in a panic tone why he was beating one of his own, and Shepard told the other person with a smirk.
"Mr. Francois thinks you are easier to deal with!"
