In a BTP-80 armored personnel carrier, Qin Fei reached out to Mist who was sitting next to him.
Mist reluctantly rolled his eyes and took out a crumpled dollar bill from his pocket: "Here, I'll give it back to you. We're even."
After finishing speaking, he muttered: "I didn't expect that I had a high opinion of Johar and these guys in the North Caucasus. No wonder it was the Russians who won the Chechen war."
Qin Fei stuffed the banknotes into his pocket and looked up at the opposite side.
In the BTP-80 armored vehicle, except for him, Mist and Michelle, the three of them were sitting together. Opposite them were all members of Qing Yishui's Alpha Special Forces.
In Qin Fei's view, the equipment worn by these people was too bulky. Perhaps due to their physical size, Da Maozi's equipment always looked oppressive.
However, what is eye-catching is that they are somewhat different from the Russian-Maoist special forces in the past. The equipment on these Alphas seems to be gradually in line with Western special forces, especially the spotted jungle camouflage that was commonly used in the past.
They replaced the all-terrain CP camouflage uniforms that are closer to actual combat, as well as tactical vests and small backpacks. Perhaps the next battle was too dangerous. In addition to carrying a similar FAST template, they also carried the исп. model produced by Russia.
In addition to the lightweight bulletproof helmet, they still wear the most familiar and iconic K6-titanium alloy full-protection helmet commonly known as the three-stage "welding helmet".
When getting on the bus, Qin Fei saw that many people were wearing heavy shields with five high-watt spotlights and a long, narrow and thickened bulletproof glass observation port.
Qin Fei also used a similar heavy shield. Although it was cumbersome, it was very effective.
The heavy shield used by the Alpha team is more complete than the heavy shield Qin Fei used in South Africa. The five high-watt spotlights can emit a strong and dazzling white light in the dark, which is very useful in the daytime and is enough to make the enemy in front of him stand out.
For a moment, it fell into temporary confusion. According to relevant research, when aiming at a target in the dark, people will subconsciously fire at the brightest light. In this way, the bullets will hit the hardest part of the shield, providing the shield holder with the best
Effective protection.
"Why don't you give us guns?" Mist seemed to have just remembered something. He looked at the MP-44 "Crow" pistol in his waist, and then looked at the various light and heavy weapons on the members of the Alpha team opposite, and couldn't help but said
: "Don't they let us be the vanguard?"
"We will not be allowed to intervene in the raid at all." Michelle said helplessly: "I have discussed this matter with Alexanderkovic, but he insisted on his opinion. This is their territory. He
He said that he has enough special forces members and does not need our intervention."
"Ah..." Mist said slightly dissatisfied: "It's still pride that's causing trouble..."
The car drove for about an hour, and various Russian conversations came from the earphones, and the communication suddenly became more frequent.
Although Qin Fei couldn't understand Russian, he realized that he might have entered the so-called Chelmen area.
Sure enough, the car finally stopped ten minutes later, and the members of the Alpha team filed out, carrying equipment that even seemed heavy to them.
Qin Fei, Michelle and others got out of the car and saw that this was a highland surrounded by busy Russian soldiers. Judging from their clothing, most of them were ordinary army armored units, and some looked like technical support personnel.
, not a combatant.
These soldiers are quickly setting up some tents, and technicians are setting up various communication equipment and circular satellite antennas.
"Major!"
Alexanderkovic appeared in front of everyone. He nodded politely to Michelle, Qin Fei and the other three, and then said: "I don't have time to greet you next, you can do whatever you want, but there is one thing -"
He raised his index finger and held it in front of Qin Fei and the other three.
"You are non-combatants. After the battle, you have the right to participate in investigations and interrogations. But now, you can only stay in this camp until we get everything done."
"Get everything done?" Michelle said dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean? Can't my people join your team?"
"No--yes!" Colonel Alexanderkovic immediately rejected Michelle's idea without even thinking about it.
"Getting everything done is a joke to me." Mist couldn't help but interjected: "I know what you mean by getting everything done, is it just not leaving anyone alive? No wonder you haven't been able to catch Basiev for so many years.
, you have no fighting art at all."
"Don't mention the art of combat to me." Alexanderkovic cast his sharp eyes on Mist, "You fought with the firing squad last night. I think you were lucky that you were not killed. If you weren't lucky,
If you catch one of them, maybe you are already lying in the morgue of the hospital. This is my place. I know how these people always behave. I don’t need you to teach me how to do things! If I can stay alive, I will naturally stay, but I can’t.
, I want to ensure the safety of my people!"
Mist was stunned for a moment after being scolded.
In the art of language, he is indeed no match for an intelligence chief like Alexanderkovic.
So, he could only spread his hands and give up.
"Colonel, I have a question." Qin Fei looked around the busy camp: "You are not a surprise attack, you are a force attack."
"There is no raid, there is no raid, and there is no way to raid!" Alexanderkovic waved his hand vigorously in the air, "What I want is safety. Before we arrived, the military region here sent a regiment of troops to
Everyone is surrounded here, and as long as Baskev is in Chelmen, he will definitely not be able to escape."
"Why don't you send a helicopter to airborne the commandos directly? This way they will be on guard," Qin Fei said.
"Boy, I don't need you to teach me how to do things." Alexanderkovic said: "If you want to ask me why I am like this, you should ask those who provided Stinger missiles to Baskev's army."
As he spoke, his eyes moved towards Michelle, glancing across her face intentionally or unintentionally.
"The Army has been dispatched to conduct ground searches around here to ensure that there are no Stinger air defense teams nearby. I said, I will not take the risk and just send out helicopters. Although our armed helicopters are very advanced in performance, they may be able to
Jamming Stinger missiles, but our transport planes don’t have that good performance, I can’t let my soldiers sit in steel coffins!”
"Okay, I understand." Qin Fei admitted that although Alexanderkovic's approach was a bit conservative, it was safe.
There are advantages and disadvantages to closing the door and beating the dogs. It lets the people in the village of Chelmen know that the army has cordoned off the area. If Basiev is really in the village, then he must have taken precautions.
It is said that this illegal armed leader always brings at least his own armed guards wherever he goes. Once they take precautions, the meaning of the raid will be gone. A forced attack will definitely have to pay a price, which is inevitable.
However, compared to the fact that an entire plane carrying commandos was shot down, the losses incurred by such a forceful attack were within an acceptable range. Perhaps this is why Alexanderkovic adopted this tactic.
The three of them walked to the edge of the highland. Three kilometers away was the village of Chelmen.
At this time, the entire Chelmen Village seemed to be immersed in deathly silence. It was already seven o'clock in the morning. Qin Fei felt that the silence was abnormal. This village was different from the one he, Yushchenko and Mist had sneaked into before.
Lebek Village is very similar. It is located in a remote place, not far away from the Caucasus Mountains, and the terrain is complex. Between the rolling hillsides, you can advance, attack, retreat or defend.
According to the normal schedule, villagers should get up and work at this time, but Qin Fei observed around with a telescope and found no living person walking in the village.
This actually made Qin Fei a little uneasy. The entire Chelmen Village was like a landmine waiting to explode. No one knew when it would be triggered. (To be continued)
