"stand at attention!"
In the frontline base that is beginning to take shape in Uige Province, the P's selected by the commanders of each team to carry out this mission are already waiting in the temporary conference room.
"I'm sorry to disturb everyone's military training life, because something more important has happened right now!"
Hannibal didn't hesitate and directly hung the large photos of the CIA intelligence officer and the South African intelligence officer on the blackboard in the conference room.
"These two unlucky guys, who are insignificant to us and have nothing to do with us whether they live or die, but are very important to international relations, were affected while inspecting the front line and are now trapped in a small village in the middle of Benguela Province. Because these two people have sensitive identities, we must rescue them before the Cubans and Soviets capture them and send them to Moscow as a gorilla exhibit!"
"In addition, in this operation, we will also go out with Agent Hudson and his team! Okay, now do you have any questions?"
Hannibal immediately found a chair and sat down, waiting to answer the questions raised by the P's. After all, it was the P's who were performing the mission, so it was allowed for them to want to know more information. Of course, if they did not want to participate in this operation, they could Yes, the detachment commander’s recommendation is more of a reference than a mandatory order. It’s okay to even recommend yourself, but the premise is that you have the strength!
"So, what are our African allies doing? Why are they not moving?"
"They were running away, and those two unfortunate guys didn't make it!"
"Shouldn't CIA officers have guards around them? If they can't escape, then the enemy is too strong, right?"
"No, let me explain this!"
Hudson stood up awkwardly and then said.
"There was originally a South African security team with them, but when they were retreating, their vehicle was hit into the river by the African allies who ran away. Three of the security team were killed and six were injured on the spot, so they failed to escape successfully!"
"This is so embarrassing!"
All the ps immediately started to marvel. After all, they always robbed Uncle Hei’s car and ran away, but they didn’t expect to see someone injured by Uncle Hei today. This was so embarrassing!
"Yeah, it's too embarrassing, so this matter can't be spread outside, do you understand?"
"So, do you still have any questions?"
After confirming that there was no doubt, Hannibal immediately began to introduce his battle plan.
"First of all, ground entry is not possible for this mission, so we will use helicopter air assaults. The fleet will set off from the forward base in Kwanza Sul Province, first go west into the offshore area, and then turn south, so that we can avoid the approaching The Cuban troops attacking from the north! Then, the helicopter landed 20 kilometers away from the target area, put down the ground troops to search, and after finding the VIP, returned the same way and waited for the helicopter to respond!"
There was nothing wrong with Hannibal's plan, and Hudson had no fault with it. If nothing unexpected happened, there would definitely be nothing wrong with his plan. But here's the problem. The assault force of less than thirty people went deep into the enemy's rear for more than 100 kilometers. And it’s still a foreign territory with no mass base at all. Once something goes wrong, it’s not a small problem!
"Have you considered any unforeseen circumstances?"
"Yes, if we encounter an enemy, the combatants will try their best to lead the enemy in the opposite direction. Other troops are not allowed to participate in the battle. Our goal is to rescue people. In addition, there will be two AH6 helicopters equipped with machine guns and rockets on standby. This We also have to thank Agent Hudson, without him we would only have Huey to drive!"
"What about the backup evacuation plan?"
"If there is an emergency and helicopters cannot be used, I will let the PBY seaplanes on standby offshore take off. The river over there can take off and land seaplanes, and VIPs can be transferred. As for the combat troops, they can only find a way to escape and then return. Use a helicopter to rescue, if you can’t be rescued, go into silence and wait for follow-up rescue!”
"Well, I have nothing to add!"
Hudson nodded with satisfaction. He just liked to work with smart people, so that he could worry less.
"In this operation, all teams must strictly maintain radio discipline.
Law, use pigeon whistles for communication as much as possible. If you use radio without special circumstances, just wait for your wages to be deducted! "
In order to prevent his men from using the radio to tell jokes without authorization during the battle, Hannibal also emphasized radio discipline, because Shepard was not strict in this regard, and even this guy liked to take the lead in using the radio to talk nonsense, so , He has to do this kind of thing!
"In addition, in terms of battlefield discipline, I don't need to emphasize that each team leader should take care of his own people and prohibit unreasonable attacks on civilians. If the situation arises, just use intimidation and restraint. Your lives are important, and the company's reputation is also important. It’s equally important. I don’t need to tell you what will happen to those who violate discipline. I’ll give you twenty minutes to prepare, and then we’ll set off!”
After saying what he had to say, Hannibal took the lead towards the weapons depot. Because he was going deep into the enemy camp this time, each person had to carry more supplies. On average, each soldier had to carry almost six hundred rounds of ammunition. Five days of emergency rations, and each rifleman had to carry a belt for the machine gunner, and one rocket launcher. Fortunately, most of the soldiers he selected had fought in the jungles of Vietnam. This heavy load was very difficult for them. He was already familiar with it, so no one complained. Even a few Green Berets still missed the time when they were chased around by guerrillas in the jungle. Z.br>
Soon the specified time came. After the team members who were about to set off entrusted their letters and other things to their friends for safekeeping, they quickly boarded the Airport 54 transport plane under the leadership of Hannibal. They had to fly to the airport further ahead first. At the combat base, the helicopter fleet that had set off before them was already waiting there under the leadership of Sandman.
"If nothing else happens, it will only take us five hours to reach our destination!"
"Yes, so these five hours will be very difficult!"
After getting off the transport plane, he contacted the intelligence officer again to make sure there was no sudden incident. Hudson lit a cigarette for himself, and then took the time to puff away.
After all, once they enter a war zone, long-time smokers like them will have little time or opportunity to smoke.
"Oh, by the way, did you receive an order to silence anyone if you can't save them?"
Hannibal asked suddenly.
"no, what happened?"
"I asked pby to hang napalm bombs. If it doesn't work, I will ask them to remove it!"
"Then let's hang this up, just in case we need it!"
