This was the first time that Li Zheng witnessed a live attack by foreign special forces.
The extrajudicial paratroopers are the elite of the legion, and the same name as them is the PCG frogman combat unit of the legion.
However, the reputation of these two elite units is far less than that of their local National Gendarmerie Intervention Team (GIGN for short). The reason is related to the history of the extrajudicial corps.
The French Foreign Legion was founded in 1831 and has a history of almost two hundred years. However, in the early days of its establishment, the French Foreign Legion suffered discrimination from the French and was even not allowed to station in the mainland according to the law.
Looking at various countries, there have been many foreign legions, such as the famous British Gurkha troops and the mustache Viking divisions. But more of them are ragtag groups, especially the "puppet armies" formed in war zones, which are neither loyal nor loyal.
Can't fight.
When the Outlaw Legion was established in 1831, the then King Louis Philippe did not have high hopes for it. It was just a temporary policy to solve domestic and foreign difficulties.
At that time, the country of Gaul was caught up in the colonial war in Algeria in North Africa, and there were a large number of hooligans, robbers, thieves, and dilapidated nobles in the country causing trouble. So Louis Philippe simply incorporated these remnants into the army and sent them all to North Africa to form
The troops are sent to the front line to achieve the effect of "killing two birds with one stone".
His intention was to send them abroad, but he had no intention of bringing them back. So the king quickly introduced a law - unless there was a national crisis, the foreign legions could not appear on the mainland of Gaul.
Therefore, after the Outlaw Legion came to North Africa, they had no choice but to take root here. They established a base in Sidi Bel-Abes in the Sahara Desert and stayed here honestly.
It is said that times make heroes, and the fate of the lower-class troops who were outside the law finally got an opportunity in the changes of history.
When the Franco-Prussian War broke out in 1870, the soldiers of the Gallic native army were completely defeated. Napoleon III led 100,000 Gallic troops to surrender in Sedan.
Then the revolution broke out in Paris and the Third Gallic Republic was established. The authorities who were short of major generals urgently brought the Foreign Legion back to the country. Two battalions of soldiers landed in Toulon. This was the first time that the Foreign Legion appeared on the mainland in the 40 years since its establishment.
From then on, the French Foreign Legion was officially recognized. This force recruits foreign volunteers from all over the world. They will use the same equipment as the French regular army. They can join Gallic nationality after serving for 5 years, and they can retire after 15 years and have lifelong citizenship.
Enjoy retirement allowance.
Today's Outlaw Legion has long been famous all over the world. The World War I, World War II, the Franco-Vietnam War, and the Gulf War they have experienced have become the best illustration of their illustrious military exploits. However, the mark of history is not so easy to erase. The "foreign" two
The word "mercenary" always has a hint of mercenary, so in the eyes of the Gallic government, they still looked at them with a bit of color.
Precisely because of the mercenary nature of the Foreign Legion, many of the soldiers recruited are elites from retired military personnel from various countries around the world. They are considered to be skilled soldiers. After some training in the army, their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
What's more, this unit has been deployed at the forefront of conflicts all year round, and its combat experience can only be described as rich. The combat effectiveness of their elite squad is actually not inferior to the local men in black troops.
The two attack teams were already in place, and the drones had already flown into the air, taking a clear view of everything in the target compound.
Following Lieutenant Frank's order, two paratroopers each carried an AT4 and fired a rocket at the left and right walls of the courtyard.
It has to be said that this thing is really devastating against the earthen wall. What's more, there are already drone pictures that can clearly see the positions of the personnel. Two of the militants who were stubbornly resisting were directly blown into the sky, and the remaining number were directly blown into the sky.
The huge shock wave caused the person to temporarily lose his sense of direction and cognitive abilities. The extrajudicial paratroopers who rushed in sent him to the west with just a few shots.
It was almost effortless to break through the courtyard, and Li Zheng was shocked by his technique.
This overturned his previous impression that Gallic chickens were weak chickens.
Although he had won on the shooting range before, and although he looked down on Lieutenant Frank's arrogance, now he realized that the training ground was a training ground and the battlefield was a battlefield, but it was really different!
Just look at the smooth attack and breakthrough just now, the elimination, positioning, positioning, control, clearing, and replenishment without any hesitation. It is absolutely the top level among professionals.
The courtyard was breached, and all that was left was the bungalow inside.
In fact, if he hadn't agreed to Li Zheng's conditions, Frank wouldn't have had to make too many plans at all. He could have directly flattened the house and then blown up the tunnel exit, burying the group of militants alive underneath.
After ten days and a half, people will be sent in to collect the corpse. Even if they are not dead, they will not be able to resist.
Now, by agreeing to Li Zheng, he has indeed caused trouble for himself. It is no wonder that Colonel Alfonso is unwilling to endorse his action this time.
The attack team took control of the yard, and the support team entered. Soon a technical sergeant came up with equipment and used a snooping scope to conduct reconnaissance around the house to determine whether there were enemies in the room, and if so, where they were, so that they could plan the next step.
Breakout plan.
Shen Jun and Tong Zhi also rushed here with Hou Jun and Fan Ping's second squad to join Li Zheng. They came up to take a look at the Gallic paratroopers who were carefully scouting around the house, and then asked Li Zheng: "Have you found Bulma?"
?”
Li Zheng pointed to the house: "Inside, they are preparing to attack now."
Shen Jun frowned and watched the paratroopers busy for a while. One of the technical sergeants made a gesture to the demolition expert, who ran over. The two squatted there and whispered something, which they couldn't hear from a distance.
It seemed that the breakthrough point was right where they were standing.
Li Zheng went over and asked Frank: "Lieutenant, is Boomer in the house?"
Frank shook his head and said, "There's bad news."
Li Zheng's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked, "What's the bad news?"
"No one was in the house, just the trap," Frank said.
Li Zheng felt his scalp numb.
If people are not in the bungalow, it means they are in the tunnel.
In the house, rescue can also be carried out through precise and rapid penetration.
But the person is not in the room but in the tunnel...
The difficulty of the authentic attack is no ordinary trouble.
Soon, the technical sergeants and demolition experts over there reached an agreement.
The two men took out C4 explosives and installed blasting points on the walls of the house in different directions. Then the personnel retreated and took cover, and then quickly detonated the explosives.
boom--
Less than a second after the first explosion, a second explosion erupted.
Boom boom——
There were obviously two detonations in the second explosion.
The explosion was so powerful that almost half of the bungalow was cut off, and the entire house with an area of about 200 square meters was shaken.
With such an explosion, the search work is actually much easier.
The two attack teams entered separately and quickly searched around the room, finally finding the tunnel entrance under the mound.
"here!"
A paratrooper carefully pushed open, keeping his gun pointed at the entrance.
At the entrance is a large wooden board covering the tunnel entrance.
Sure enough, caution can sail the ship of ten thousand years.
The experienced paratrooper had just pushed away less than a meter away when a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from the ground, and a hail of bullets penetrated the wooden board and shot up.
The paratroopers around him still watched calmly and slowly retreated to a safe place.
The sound of gunfire below is a warning - don't come in!
Now, how to enter the tunnel is a very tricky thing.
The attack that was going smoothly just now came to an abrupt end here.
How to enter?
If there was a tunnel and arsenal underneath, who would dare to enter?
The exit was blocked, unable to get out, and the entrance was controlled again, leaving the militants hiding in the tunnel with no way out.
Now they are wolves who have been forced into a corner. They will fight tooth and nail at any time, and even end up together. After all, they do this kind of thing often.
Frank hesitated.
He is one head and two big ones.
If we attack by force, our own people may suffer heavy losses.
If we don't attack forcefully and delay until the end, we may not be able to save the child, and we will break our promise to Li Zheng.
Soon, the communications soldier came over to report that the fighting outside the village was over and the KLM people had escaped.
Ran……
When Li Zheng heard the news, his heart sank again.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand. The leader of KLM is not a fool. This place has been completely controlled by the French army. The original plan to mobilize the tiger from the mountain has failed again. The arms cannot be moved out, and people cannot be expected to be rescued without making unnecessary sacrifices.
, we can only withdraw and settle the accounts with the Gauls later.
This means that the militants in the tunnel are abandoned.
Abandonment is the most terrible thing.
Not only Frank, but also Li Zheng also felt despair.
The possibility of rescuing Bulma alive is close to zero.
