The iron gate opened, and a group of people swarmed forward and poured into the courtyard with rifles. They withdrew not long after, changed the locks on the courtyard, and drove out of the town.
Yang Jie and Yang Jie were even more puzzled by this sudden and no-end situation.
"Forget it, wait until Akainu comes back and tell him the situation."
"Um."
Rock took a deep breath and relaxed:
"If it's not the Roman Legion, it shouldn't have anything to do with our mission."
4 p.m.
The team gathered near the gas station on time, and Yang Jie told Ryan about the team.
"Well, don't worry about them for now. The major forces probably don't know about Fermat's defection yet. It is estimated that no one else will know except the leader behind the scenes, Peco and the others, and us.
If it weren't for the Roman legions, then we wouldn't have to worry about them. "
5 p.m.
Everyone in the Akainu team checked the equipment one last time, and after confirming that it was correct, parked the car on the side of the road, waiting for the black off-road vehicle to appear.
Six o'clock in the evening.
The inexplicable motorcade returned to the town and drove into the villa.
7 p.m.
The black SUV still didn't show up.
8pm.
"Something's wrong."
Ryan frowned and glanced at his watch before saying in a deep voice:
"Anyway, Fermat and the others should have arrived."
As he spoke, he glanced at the villa and then ordered:
"Osprey, get out of the car and look for a sniper position, monitor that white villa, and report any movement inside to me immediately."
Elena nodded, held the sniper rifle, opened the door and got out of the car, disappearing into the darkness.
"Do you suspect that the gang in the villa robbed Fermat?"
Bear asked.
Ryan nodded, his voice a little serious:
"Looking at it now, it is possible."
He said and ordered Yang Jie:
“Wrench, send the drone out.
Fly west along the convoy's tracks to see if you can find the black off-road vehicle. "
The drone was released first and flew away to the west. Then the Ford SUV started and followed the drone.
Not long after, the black off-road vehicle appeared on the controller screen.
"found it."
Yang Jie said and handed the controller to Ryan.
On the screen, the off-road vehicle stood alone in the wilderness, with all four doors opened and several bodies lying around.
The Ford SUV drove in the direction and arrived at the scene a few minutes later.
The four of them pushed the door open and got out of the car, approaching slowly with their rifles raised.
After checking around, Lane breathed a sigh of relief and put down his rifle.
"There are no survivors and no booby traps."
“Wrench, check the buggy.
Bear, be careful around. "
Yang Jie put his rifle on his back and reached out to open the front hood of the off-road vehicle. After observing it carefully, he lay down under the chassis of the vehicle and checked with a flashlight, and then got out.
"The body chassis was not damaged, the engine was scrapped."
He pointed to a bullet hole in the front of the car and continued his analysis:
"This off-road vehicle was equipped with armor. The armor thickness was 8mm. The bullet entered the body from here and then hit the engine."
Ryan looked in the direction Yang Jie pointed and saw that the bullet hole was exactly in the same direction as the area where the engine was damaged.
After listening to Yang Jie's report, he nodded and said:
"The anti-materiel rifle has a relatively small caliber, probably 12.7.
The bullet hit the engine with one shot, indicating that the shooter was good at shooting and had a good understanding of the structure of the car. "
"Boss!"
Rock squatted in front of a corpse and observed it, then took off his clothes and greeted Ryan:
"Look at this!"
The two walked over and shined their flashlights on the body.
Ryan took a closer look and saw that Rock had taken off the clothes on the body's chest, revealing a scar shaped like an eagle on the chest.
Seeing the scar, Ryan was stunned, and then said in shock:
"Shadow of Caesar?"
As a former Lone Star soldier, Ryan is quite familiar with the characteristics of the Roman legions - after all, the Roman legions are Lone Star's main enemy in the northwest.
There was no way he could mistake this emblem.
"Shadow of Caesar? From the Roman Legion?"
"Um."
Ryan looked at the corpse and nodded, explaining to Yang Jie:
"The intelligence agency of the Roman Legion has functions similar to the intelligence department of the Lone Star, and belongs directly to Caesar himself."
After listening to Ryan's words, Yang Jie raised his eyebrows and looked at Rock with questioning eyes:
"Didn't you say that in this place, generally no group would dare to provoke the Roman legions?"
"Forehead……"
Rock hesitated for a long time and was speechless. Finally, Ryan explained for him:
“Rock’s idea is actually understandable.
Generally speaking, this is indeed the case, but this time is different. I didn't expect that someone else was eyeing Fermat. "
"So, that building was actually built by the Roman legions for Fermat."
Recalling the actions of the team in the afternoon, Yang Jie tried to summarize:
"The convoy intercepted and killed Caesar's Shadow escorting Fermat on the way, and then occupied the place of the Roman legions."
Rock stood up, patted the dust on his hands, and said helplessly:
"Are we being intercepted?"
Ryan nodded.
"That's what it looks like."
"But don't you think this is a bit strange?"
Yang Jie crossed his arms, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said:
"Why didn't they run away after they killed the Roman legions and took away Fermat who was being escorted by the Roman legions? What's the point of occupying the Roman legion's villa?
provocative? "
After finishing speaking, several people looked at each other, and no one could tell the reason.
After a moment of silence, Ryan shook his head and took the initiative to say:
“Don’t think about that for now.
No matter whose hands Fermat is in, we still have to arrest him. "
Then he asked Roark:
"Switchblade, how are these guys equipped?"
Of course Rock knew what Ryan wanted to ask, he shrugged and replied:
"It looks a bit bad. There should be no body armor. Although there are a few machine guns, there is definitely no night vision goggles."
"Okay, then we will use the night to raid the villa.
You should have had a good feel of the surrounding situation during the day, right? . "
"That's right."
Yang Jie said, showing the photos taken with the drone and telling Ryan the situation of the villa.
After finishing speaking, he pointed to several adobe houses around the villa.
"In addition, a dozen adobe houses around the villa are also occupied by them."
Ryan nodded and made a decision after thinking for a moment:
"Let's clean up the adobe house on the south side first, and then raid the villa."
Ryan explained the specific action plan clearly as he spoke, and finally said:
"You must be quiet in your early actions, Switchblade. It's up to you to perform."
Speaking of this, Ryan suddenly looked like Yang Jie:
"Wrench, I remember you said you had CQB experience. What position do you usually play?"
"The three position or the guard."
In the assault team, position three is usually responsible for fire support, demolition, grenade launch and other functions, while the rear guard, or position four, usually takes care of the rear, commonly known as the butt guard.
When playing water bombs with the group of veterans, Yang Jie was the weakest in the team, so he would usually be taught the less important No. 3 position.
After all, water bomb shooting does not involve blasting, grenades and other duties, so the third position is relatively useless.
Ryan nodded.
"Okay, then Switchblade and I will serve as the vanguard at position one, and I will also serve as the commander at position two. Yang Jie will be at position three, and the bear will be the rearguard and responsible for fire support."
"It's not Akainu, wait a minute."
Just as Ryan stood up, Yang Jie stopped him with a thug.
"Am I going to the battlefield with you now?"
"yes."
Ryan frowned and replied:
"Didn't you say you wanted to join the fight?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
Yang Jie's expression was a little helpless. He sighed and continued:
“I don’t have a problem with joining the fight.
But the problem is, we haven't even practiced the most basic cooperation between us, so aren't you afraid that I will hold you back? "
Usually, team members need to cooperate with each other for training and running-in before they can form combat effectiveness.
Teams with insufficient tacit understanding often make fatal omissions in battle.
However, Yang Jie looked at Ryan's intention and was obviously ready to rush the duck to the shelf and forcefully drag himself, a rookie, onto the battlefield.
"It doesn't matter."
Ryan waved his hand and replied nonchalantly:
"You will be able to do it naturally when the time comes. Practical combat is often the best training for people."
