It was only after 9 o'clock after the meeting, and there were still nearly 20 hours before the action.
Whether the members of the action team are Team A for cover or Team B for assault operations, they have already made preparations to immediately enter the battle when they arrived on the Air Overlord transport plane.
This also means that in the next ten hours or so, until one hour before the departure of the operation, everyone will have nothing to do.
In the first-level combat readiness state, there is no way to leave the base and go "shopping" in the city.
They can only stay patiently at the base.
As early as when Long Zhan was in the conference room of the DG headquarters building, he had wanted to talk to Mandy to resolve the misunderstanding and get to know this CIA senior intelligence officer.
There is nothing to do at this time, and staying idle at the base is also idle.
They simply took advantage of the fact that everyone in Team B was busy with their own affairs. Some were lying on the bed and sleeping in their cages, some were taking military dogs out for a walk, or others, such as Clay, were playing with various high-end equipment.
Long Zhan used the coffee machine to make two cups of coffee, and specially added two packets of sugar to it, and found Mandy who was alone in the conference room in a daze.
"You seem to be in a bit of a bad mood. Are you too tired from work recently? Have a drink to refresh yourself."
Long Zhan once again showed his familiarity. It was obviously the first time he had verbal communication with Mandy, and his tone was like an old friend for many years.
"Thanks!"
Mandy looked up and found that it was Long Zhan. Because Long Zhan's performance today made her eyes light up, she did not refuse the hot coffee handed to her.
"I'm really sorry for what happened in the killing house last time. I hope you can understand. If you feel dissatisfied, I can ask you to fight back. However, the premise is that you must be able to hit, because I have learned Tai Sen's butterfly steps are as fast as lightning."
The humorous tone of Long Zhan's slight challenge, coupled with his deliberately shaking his head to dodge, made Mandy couldn't help but laugh.
"Your smile is so beautiful, like the stars at night, charming and mysterious."
Long Zhan wasted no time in throwing sugar-coated bullets again. Women in the world are actually the same, and sweet words are more effective than anything else.
Most of the men in the base have families. Sonny, the only bachelor, is also attracted to Diaz, and Mandy's job is a special "intelligence agent". It has been a long time since a man has praised her so much.
Now being praised so boldly by Long Zhan, Mandy was so embarrassed that she could only drink coffee to cover up.
As a result, after taking a sip of coffee, she looked at Long Zhan with more complicated eyes.
Mandy likes to add two packets of sugar to her coffee. This habit is completely different from other people's, but the coffee delivered by Long Zhan does just that.
Is it a coincidence? Or deliberately?
Mandy couldn't tell, but one thing she was sure of was that she felt much better after spending a short time with Long Zhan.
My mood was relieved and relaxed, and my perception of Long Zhan was completely restored.
As the topic of conversation deepened step by step and entered into the interesting things they encountered in their daily lives, the previous barriers disappeared.
We made an appointment to have dinner together at the base at noon, and walked around the base after dinner in the evening.
The relationship between the two has successfully broken through. Although it has not reached the level of good friends, at least it has become a friendship where they can smile and say hello when they meet.
…
2:30 am!
Team A and Team B, who had slept for several hours, all got up and entered the starting assembly point of the base to begin the final work before the operation.
This is a process that must be carried out before every departure.
On the one hand, it is to check all equipment and equipment to see if they have been touched or damaged by collisions to ensure that they can work normally during the operation.
For example: whether the infrared night vision goggles are fully charged, whether the IR laser can operate normally, etc.
Electronic equipment.
Sometimes things are always bad for no apparent reason.
On the other hand, for the way of action, some temporary special processing is done to some equipment and armor to make it more consistent with the specified way of action.
For example, this operation is a stealth operation, and the first consideration is concealment.
Therefore, it is necessary to check whether the respective weapons and ammunition have been replaced with subsonic bullets that can greatly reduce the sound of gunfire. If not, they should be replaced in time.
Objects such as grenades hanging on combat vests are more likely to be scratched due to night operations.
There is a possibility that the safety pin may be scratched off!
Therefore, use cheap but easy-to-use black tape, wrap it around the upper part of the grenade a few times, and wrap the safety pin under the black tape.
Whether the silencer is tightened, whether the combat environment is suitable for wearing a bulky heavy bulletproof vest, whether there are mixed tracer bullet magazines for night operations...
There are still many preparations like this, and all aspects involved are "inconspicuous".
However, these inconspicuous preparations are the valuable experience accumulated by anti-terrorism special operations personnel with their lives and blood for decades.
The powerful combat capabilities of special forces are based on a large amount of "inconspicuous" detail work.
3:30 am!
The base gate of the base retracted upward with a roaring sound driven by its hinges.
"Set off!"
Jason gave an order and "Snoopy" started again.
The seven men are either tall and strong, lean and strong, or fat and strong. In addition, they are all fully armed. They are all quite big. For this 4-meter-long van, it is really a bit strong. The car is difficult.
Fortunately, due to the constraints of the combat environment this time, the corridor door in the target house was relatively narrow, and climbing was required to enter the second floor.
There is no way to carry a backpack that weighs more than 60 pounds containing a large amount of combat supplies.
Instead, it is a tactical backpack that is similar to a schoolbag and can only carry essential items for CQB operations such as plastic bombs, equipment batteries, emergency medical supplies, etc.
Without the seven backpacks consuming the limited space, everyone in Team B could barely squeeze into the van.
After about 20 minutes of "moving at a snail's pace", the Snoopy van, which creaked and "sung" along the way, finally arrived outside the town of Lionheart.
