Eric is a dovish commander, not as radical as a hawkish commander, which also determines his command and combat style.
His first thought was to order Team B to retreat to avoid a head-on collision with General Lionheart's army.
It doesn't matter if Samir can't be caught this time. There will be a chance to find him and take action again. Anyway, he has been on the run for more than 20 years and doesn't care about a few more days.
On the other hand, if someone from Team B dies in action, there will be no chance to do it again.
But if the order is really given for Team B to retreat, Team B's honor as a team that has never failed a mission will come to an end here.
Soldiers fight for personal and national honor, and most of them value honor more than their lives.
Eric knew Jason's temper very well. If he really gave the order to retreat, then the good superior-subordinate relationship between the two of them would definitely have an irreparable gap because of this incident.
After more than ten seconds of careful consideration, Eric chose another path——
Respect Team B’s own choice!
Giving full play to the combat capabilities of lower-level units and radiating their personal thinking ability as much as possible has always been a characteristic of the SEALs.
"H2, this is the combat center. I give you permission to return immediately."
"H1, you are responsible for bringing the rescue target back. You must evacuate within three minutes."
Eric first issued two orders to the two armed helicopters responsible for the response, first to ensure that part of the mission could be completed.
"H2 received it and started to return."
"H1 received, prepare to approach the extraction point."
The two pilots responded one after another, and Eric was then transferred to the command channel of Team B.
"B1, this is the combat center. H2 has a mechanical failure and needs to return. It cannot complete the evacuation mission. H1 cannot take all of you.
Lionheart's army is already heading towards you and is expected to arrive at the target building in about three minutes.
I suggest that you give up capturing Samir and immediately leave the target building for an emergency retreat from the ground to avoid fighting with Lionheart's army.
However, if you want to continue the mission, I respect your choice. "
At this time, in the tunnel of the target building, the military dog Hellfire who had been running in front had stopped, squatting at a corner of the tunnel and looking ahead.
This action indicates that the target has been found, directly in front of its field of vision.
Jason knew that there was a high probability that this target was Samir, whom they wanted to capture on this trip. He was overjoyed and was about to take people up.
As a result, I suddenly heard Eric's emergency communication from the operations center.
Jason couldn't help but frown when he began to hear that a helicopter had broken down and had left urgently and could no longer undertake the evacuation mission.
When I heard that Lionheart's army had set off, they would arrive here within three minutes.
The joy that filled Jason's heart at discovering his target suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water being poured on him, chilling him inside and out.
He knew very well that three minutes would not be enough to catch Samir and leave.
But Samir was already right in front of him. He could see it just by walking over and turning the corner. It would be too uncomfortable and frustrating to give up at this time.
As the best team in the red team, the ace team has never tasted defeat.
Jason couldn't accept this result.
Even though there would be no consequences for retreating at this time, and there would be no punishment for failing the mission, Jason still chose the latter without hesitation.
If Jason was a timid person, he wouldn't be where he is today.
"B1 received it. We have found Samir and are preparing to arrest him. We will try to complete it within three minutes. We will then retreat from the southeast. Please send additional support troops to support him on the road."
After Jason finished speaking, he slashed forward with his right hand and led the team straight to the corner where the Cerberus was.
Sonny and Trent, who were following Jason, could not hear the communication on the command channel, but based on what Jason said about the ground retreat and years of experience in anti-terrorism special operations, they could basically guess that something was going on. Yao Mozi.
In a small town with a military camp as its structure, you can imagine how difficult it is to retreat from the ground with your toes.
Sonny and Trent realized the seriousness of the problem, and the expressions on their faces became particularly solemn.
The atmosphere also started to become depressing and tense!
In order to protect the honor and dignity of Team B, Jason decided to take the risk and continue to capture Samir before retreating from the ground.
Long Zhan and Bullock on the roof didn't know what was happening at this time.
When the two saw a helicopter approaching, they still fulfilled the orders they received and began to prepare to send Marshall to the helicopter.
Due to the limited space above the roof, there was no way to park the helicopter on the roof.
They could only hover and then throw the ladder down from above, allowing Marshall and Long Zhan and Bullock, who were responsible for sending him off, to climb up to the plane more than 5 meters high through the ladder.
And because Marshall had been imprisoned for too long, and now she was overly excited after being rescued, she was a little exhausted. As a result, she couldn't climb up alone.
The soft ladder was shaken by the propeller wind, and it was very difficult to climb up.
No way.
Long Zhan could only take advantage of his big body and carry the woman on his back, letting her wrap her legs around his waist and wrap her hands around his neck, in a reverse old tree root-twisting posture.
Then he carried Marshall up the ladder and sent her to the helicopter cabin.
As soon as Long Zhan carried Marshall on his back and entered the cabin, a member of Team A who was responsible for the response held the door of the cabin and shouted to Bullock below: "Man, we don't have much time, come up quickly."
"time is limited?"
Long Zhan just saw a helicopter flying away and felt that something was wrong. Now that he heard A's words to this team member, he was even more murmuring in his heart.
So he patted the members of team A on the shoulder and asked loudly: "What do you mean there is not much time? Our people haven't come up yet."
The noise of the helicopter propeller was so loud that it was impossible to hear clearly without raising your voice.
Even with sound pickup and noise-canceling headphones!
