"Teng~"
There was a muffled sound,
Under everyone's gaze, the 40mm high-explosive grenade drew a graceful arc in the air and landed at the position locked by Long Zhan's crosshair.
Just when the grenade was about to hit the ground, an armed pickup truck drove over at high speed.
impartial.
It just happened to hit the grenade.
The picture gives people a very strange feeling. It is not like a grenade hitting the pickup truck, but the pickup truck actively rushed up and caught the falling grenade.
"Bang~Boom~"
The small explosion followed the big one with less than 0.2 seconds between them.
Apparently, the grenade hit the pickup truck and exploded, accidentally detonating the car's fuel tank, resulting in a superimposed and more powerful explosion.
There were five people in the car, and there was a machine gunner's armed pickup truck in the back car. It was instantly torn apart by the explosion.
The entire car was enveloped in raging fire, and all the people in the car were swallowed up by the flames.
"Yes!!!"
"B7, well done!"
"Good, very good."
The last armed pickup truck was also killed. Sonny, Clay and others couldn't help but cheer and celebrate, and their hearts were relieved.
Everyone thought that the crisis was over for the time being and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However.
This is just an "appetizer".
The real big crisis is coming quietly.
"B1, this is B2, the blog fleet has been completely wiped out, and the connection point is safe."
Lei reported the battle situation to Jason. Jason had basically recovered and replied very happily: "B1 received it, you can come and gather."
"B1, this is the command center."
Suddenly, the signal from the command center cut in, and Diaz said in an uneasy tone: "The V-3 transporting supplies was attacked by a surface-to-air missile on the way. The helicopter was damaged and had to make an emergency return."
"What? Surface-to-air missiles? How could Boko Haram have such a large-scale weapon? And we didn't get any information?" Jason couldn't believe it.
Surface-to-air weapons are strictly controlled no matter which country they are in.
Even if some of them cannot be recovered immediately, they will be recorded in detail by the intelligence agencies of various countries, and special attention will be paid to relevant operations.
The CIA has been keeping an eye on the blogging mecca for so many years, and has successfully hacked into the database.
The CIA may know better than anyone in Boko Haram whether Boko Haram has surface-to-air weapons, and there is no chance that they will use them.
"We are still investigating the specific situation. You need to prepare in advance. I will inform you when there is news."
Diaz was in urgent need of detailed information and could not explain too much to Jason. After speaking, he hung up the radio and prepared to investigate.
Jason was stunned by the surface-to-air missile, and the command center was also confused by the news.
"That kind of firepower shouldn't belong to Boko Haram. They don't have the strength to possess it. This is abnormal. Who are they?" Soto put his hands on his hips with a deep expression.
"If you can see them, maybe you can find out who they are." Mina said.
"We only have one intelligence reconnaissance platform. Once we move it over to check on these guys, Team B will fall into a blind spot in the battle." Soto said reluctantly.
"Sir, you are right."
Diaz came over and said: "But if their target is Team B, this level of firepower sneak attack is enough to cause a devastating blow to Team B."
Diaz got to the most crucial point.
If this group of mysterious gangs with unknown origins and carrying surface-to-air missiles were not monitored and given the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Team B, the consequences would be disastrous.
Even the most difficult-to-get anti-air missiles are available, including surface-to-surface missiles, recoilless rifles, anti-tank missiles...
Wait for this kind of big guy, the possibility is very high.
Soto worries that Diaz's words are coming true, and with the fighting near the refinery now over, the need for drone vision isn't as strong.
After a brief two seconds of closing his eyes and thinking, Soto made his final decision.
"Move the intelligence surveillance platform to target this new unknown target."
"Copy that, sir."
After receiving the order, Diaz immediately ran to the computer and forwarded the latest order to the intelligence analyst, the drone remote operator.
The helicopter that was attacked just now has sent the coordinates of the launch site of the surface-to-air missile to the command headquarters for recording.
Intelligence analysts obtained detailed coordinates and quickly found the person who launched the surface-to-air missile.
To be precise, it's a convoy.
Diaz directed the information to the main screen of the command room and reported: "The reconnaissance monitoring platform has locked the target. According to the monitoring screen, in addition to shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, they also have several large-caliber mortars."
The opponent has surface-to-air missiles. Because of the fear of being hit by surface-to-air missiles, the reconnaissance height of the drone is very high, and the quality of the captured images is not very clear.
Only people or items in the vehicle can be seen, and no further details can be determined.
"The problem now is..."
Soto crossed his arms and said with difficulty: "Who are they and what is their purpose here? Are they going to help Boko Haram deal with Nigerians, or are they going to occupy or destroy pipelines and refineries."
"If it's the latter, we definitely need more firepower to be able to beat them away." Diaz said very conservatively.
Not to annihilate, but to defeat.
The reason is that this group of people is extraordinary, since they can quietly pass through the front line where the Nigerian army is stationed under the surveillance of Team A, and suddenly appear behind the defense line.
Even a fool should realize that this group of mysterious people is something special.
Not to mention their firepower is so fierce!
"We have to first identify who they are so we can develop tactics and plans."
What Soto said is indeed very reasonable. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you survive a hundred battles. If you want to be able to defeat the opponent, you must first know who the opponent is.
You don't even know who the enemy is, and fighting in confusion will only get twice the result with half the effort.
"I'll figure it out."
Mina took the initiative to stand up and quickly came to the computer and said while operating: "They must be related to the people we found who provided financial and technical support to Boko Haram. I will contact other government organizations in the area and see. Can you find relevant information?”
As the saying goes: There is strength in numbers.
With such sophisticated equipment, it is impossible for this group of people to enter Nigeria without leaving clues. There will always be some organization or individual who accidentally or accidentally obtains relevant information.
Mina controls the US military information officer in West Africa and operates a large number of informants and connections in this area.
As long as these informants and related households are mobilized and the drones are used to locate the characteristics of this mysterious group of people, the probability of finding out the truth is very high.
