"Mercenaries, appear in Benguela?"
After receiving the infiltration report, Colonel Arguelles, the commander of the Cuban Volunteer Army who was directing the front-line operations, did not take a look at it. Instead, he took it very seriously. He is a very stable person and thinks more about everything than others think.
Although he didn't know what the mercenaries were doing in Benguela, which had no important stronghold, the colonel knew that what he had to consider at this moment was not what the enemy wanted to do, but what he wanted to prevent the enemy from doing.
"There is no infiltration report from the front line, so they should have come by boat or helicopter. Although I don't know what they are doing here, I guess they should be on their way to evacuate!"
After the colonel calmly analyzed various possibilities, he immediately picked up the intercom phone nearby.
"Switchboard, pick me up Lieutenant Colonel Lucien!"
Five minutes after the colonel made the call, two captain pilots of the Cuban Volunteer Air Force who were on standby at the MPLA Cuito Airport hurriedly rushed out of the duty room with their flight helmets in hand. Following them, there was a large number of Lots of ground crew.
Fuel refueling, flight readiness inspections, and equipment inspections were carried out by the most elite personnel of the Air Force in an orderly manner to complete all preparations before takeoff. Chinese website
With the last task completed, the ground crew quickly evacuated the runway with their equipment, and the two pilots started the fighter engine and drove the fighter plane into the runway. As the engine sprayed out dazzling fire, the two pilots The MiG-21 fighter jets of the Cuban Air Force quickly flew into the blue sky one after another.
Although Colonel Aguilez didn't know what the mercenaries were doing here, he knew that if the other party wanted to leave, they would definitely have to choose water or air, because the land route was completely inaccessible, so this matter was very easy to handle. The colonel asked the air force to take off for two A MiG-21 fighter jet allows them to patrol offshore and land areas respectively, searching for possible ships and aircraft.
Then, the colonel did not forget to make a call to the commander of the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs behind the scenes, asking them to immediately send troops to Benguela to join the local troops and hunt down the mercenaries together.
Hannibal and Hudson were completely unaware of this. They were still waiting eagerly for the evacuation helicopter to appear at the evacuation point.
Then, bad news came over the radio.
South Africa's radar saw the Cuban fighter jet taking off. Although the target was quickly lost, according to the direction of the fighter's flight, the opponent's target was Benguela Province. In order to avoid problems, the helicopter fleet that had already taken off must turn to avoid patrols. MiG-21 fighter jet.
"These guys think too highly of us. Do they know something?"
Hannibal looked puzzled. There were only six MiG-21 fighter jets sent by Cuba, and they were all used to support the frontline troops. As a result, the opponent now dispatched one-third of them to Benguela Province. It must be said that the opponent was not targeting him. Yes, even ghosts don’t believe it.
Hudson frowned tightly. Although not many people knew about the intelligence officer's capture, it had indeed spread. If the Soviets really knew something about it, it would not be impossible, but the CIA's intelligence The channel shows that the former knew nothing about it, so why did the Cuban fighter jets appear here?
Could it be that our intelligence channels have been discovered?
Thinking of this, Hudson could no longer sit still. He hurriedly changed the contact channel and began to check the matter with his superiors.
Both of them were at a loss at this moment. Neither the CIA nor the Shadow Company had much air combat power in Africa. When a helicopter faced a jet fighter, it was like a chicken facing an eagle hovering at high altitude. The two were not opponents of the same magnitude at all. If the cannon fires, the helicopter will have to rest, and if the helicopter wants to attack the jet fighter, it must be able to catch up with them.
But in fact, Colonel Arguelles did not know the mission of the rescue force. He just judged based on experience that Hudson and the others must have some secret mission that could not be revealed, otherwise they would not have sneaked more than a hundred kilometers behind the battle line. place.
But now, since he has caught their tail, these mercenaries can't escape easily!
The colonel did not use the front-line troops. Instead, the recruits who were training in the rear and the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who trained the new recruits were gathered together.
In the end, these hundreds of troops, plus the local army and militia of Benguela, were enough to hold down the mercenaries and trap them to death.
As for Hannibal, although he still doesn't know the current situation, one thing is very certain, that is, this evacuation point cannot be used. The sound of the exchange of fire just now has probably been heard by civilians active in the nearby area. Next, they You will definitely have to face a steady stream of enemies.
"Collect ammunition and prepare to evacuate. Let's go to the second evacuation point!"
Although there were enough bullets, considering that he was still uncertain about what would happen next, Hannibal still asked people to plunder all the bullets from the MPLA soldiers. This is the advantage of carrying an RPD machine gun. The bullets are universal and can be obtained behind enemy lines. supply.
After hastily searching for ammunition, the rescue team immediately took off and started running. At this time, everyone did not care about the smell of the VIPs, and the two of them started running wildly.
While running away, Hudson did not forget to keep in touch with the base. After all, the helicopter fleet did not know about the change of evacuation point, and had to rely on the base to communicate it.
Facts have proved that Hannibal's judgment was correct. Many MPLA troops who rushed from other areas quickly arrived at their first evacuation point. If Hannibal and the others stayed there any longer, they would soon be overrun. Enemies surrounded.
The second evacuation point is not safe either. It is only 40 kilometers away from the first evacuation point. Once discovered, the MPLA troops who rely on motor vehicles can arrive in two hours.
Although the situation was urgent, the two men still calmly commanded their men to disperse and hide. The helicopter fleet they were looking forward to had just taken another detour, and the arrival time was once again uncertain.
Fortunately, this time, Lady Luck temporarily took care of the rescue team. After waiting in agony for a full hour, they finally heard the sound of rotors in the distance.
"Helicopters are coming, throwing smoke bombs!"
A P immediately took off the smoke bomb and threw it out, and then special purple smoke curled up, pointing out the specific direction of the helicopter fleet.
And almost in the blink of an eye, three Huey helicopters appeared in front of everyone.
"Quick, quick, get on the helicopter!"
The stone in Hannibal's heart was at this moment. He immediately called his men to board the plane quickly, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black dot approaching in the sky.
Then he heard the roar of the engine.
"MiGs, take cover!"
