Georgian border area, Caucasus Mountains area, near Kazbegi.
In front of an abandoned warehouse, two military SUVs stopped quickly.
Michelle, Mist, and Lilith walked quickly into the warehouse under the leadership of a Georgian special forces officer.
This place has been sealed off, and the entire periphery has been taken over by members of the special forces. The warehouse is very large, with equipment piled up on one side, a long military marching table and chairs on one side, and an LCD screen hanging on one wall.
There are more than a dozen laptop computers lined up on the table, and in front of each computer sits a technician from the Georgian military and intelligence agencies, who is dividing the work and doing his or her own work.
"Major, welcome to the temporary command center."
Lieutenant Colonel Battery from the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia came up to him.
"Everything is ready for tonight. Our people have set up surveillance eyes around the location you provided. Now there is an iron bucket, and you can't even think of pouring water into it."
With full confidence, the lieutenant colonel guided the three people to the monitoring screen and invited them to sit down at the makeshift long conference table.
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs' special forces already have two reinforced platoons of soldiers on standby. The armored vehicles they are riding in are hidden in the mountains and forests near the target location, just waiting for an order to be dispatched."
The more confident Lieutenant Colonel Battery appeared, the more uneasy Michelle felt.
The capabilities of the Georgian special forces are not so satisfactory. Although Michel has not directly cooperated with these people, he had seen them live as a British observer during a previous multinational joint exercise.
combat level.
"Lieutenant Colonel, these people are not ordinary KB elements. They have received strict military training and have rich battlefield experience. They are battle-hardened veterans. You must be careful."
"Please be assured." Battelle pointed to the picture on the computer screen and said: "In the 1950s, this used to be a state-owned mine. It was later abandoned after the ore resources were exhausted, but it was restarted during the Cold War. The former Soviet military
The area of the underground passage of the mine was expanded and turned into a hiding cave for wartime emergency supplies and weapons. However, after the end of the Cold War, it was included in the scope of abolition due to military expenditure issues. After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the last
A group of troops left here and it has been abandoned for nearly twenty years."
"This is the floor plan of the underground tunnel." Battery placed a copy of the plan in front of Michelle and Mist. "You see, although the underground fortifications are very secretive and can avoid aerial reconnaissance, there are also shortcomings.
It has only two fixed exits, which means that if you control these two exits, you can block the opponent in the tunnel."
"What are you going to do?" Michelle stared at the floor plan in front of her and asked, still a little uneasy: "Go in?"
"We have conducted a heat source scan on the tunnel, but currently, there is no heat source response in many places, only the central area -" Battery stretched out his finger and pointed at a location in the center of the plan, "This shows that the infrared heat source is released, because now
It's winter, and even if they are hiding in the tunnel, they still need to stay warm, so we can get the heat signal from the exhaust vents outside."
"They are all concentrated in the center of the tunnel?" Michelle asked.
Lieutenant Colonel Bartley nodded: "It seems so."
"XS explosives are very dangerous. You must be careful when attacking." Michelle said. "Once they discover it, they will definitely detonate all the explosives in a hurry. Then I am afraid that this mountain will be flattened."
"I have already considered this." Battery looked at his watch and said: "According to the timetable you provided us, the operation in Vladikavkaz began to infiltrate at 1 o'clock at night, and the convoy responsible for transporting supplies
We have left the mine at 6 o'clock this afternoon. It only takes 6 hours to drive from here to Vladikavkaz. When the three vehicles transporting the first batch of XS explosives arrive in Vladikavkaz, we will start immediately.
action."
"That means it starts at 1 o'clock tomorrow morning?" Michelle asked.
Battery said: "Yes, if there are no accidents, it should be like this."
"Okay, it seems like you have thought it through very carefully. You are more familiar with the situation here than me, so I won't get involved." Michelle withdrew her eyes from the floor plan and turned to look at the big screen.
One of the big screens is used for three-way connection with MI17 headquarters and FSB, but it is not open at this time.
Before leaving Grozny, Colonel Alexanderkovic had agreed with Michel that at 8:30 tonight, the three parties would establish a video communication line through the satellite channel to share information about Vladikavkaz and Kazbegi
Regarding the on-site situation, all members participating in the operation tonight, whether they are the Russian "Alfa" counter-terrorism force in Vladikavkaz or the Georgian special forces here, each team member will have a miniature camera installed on the helmet to record the scene.
The action footage is transmitted to the shared platform and provided to the commanders of the three parties as an action reference.
Michelle glanced at her military watch. The time was ticking towards half past eight. She gently put her hands on the table and wiped her face vigorously.
If you are lucky tonight, it will be a pinnacle battle between yourself and Ryuichi Kawasaki.
…
North Caucasus region.
On the Mi-171 helicopter, Qin Fei opened his eyes that had been half-closed.
The huge cabin was dark. The members of the "Alfa" team across from them looked solemn, and their eyes shot out from the two holes in the faces covered by the hoods.
Everyone knows what it means to fly in a place like this, especially since illegal armed groups have recently acquired new Stinger missiles.
These armed organizations are like stubborn scabies growing on the skin of this country. Even after repeated attacks, they are still resurgence. Of course, this involves historical, religious, racial and other reasons, which cannot be solved overnight.
"Ten minutes left!"
The "Alfa" commander on the Mi-171 walked from the entrance to the cockpit towards the tail part of the aircraft. As he walked, he raised his hands loudly and shouted: "Check your equipment for the last time!"
Everyone began to check the equipment. Yushchenko and Qin Fei sat together, and they made final inspections for each other.
There was no plan to rappel this time because if the aircraft landed at too low an altitude, it would be easily attacked by ground fire.
However, you cannot use large transport aircraft to land by jumping high or flying high, because this is the North Caucasus Mountains, and it is winter, and heavy snow is raging. Even if you use high flying and flying low, you often find that the landing environment is not good until you reach a certain height.
Good, I no longer regretted taking the medicine at that time.
The safest method is to use a helicopter to sneak in, enter the mountainous area from the highest ceiling of 5,000 meters, and then lower to a height of 500 meters to find the best landing site for a low jump and low drive.
This is the most flexible and safest way.
For this modified Mi-171SH armed transport helicopter with a dish-shaped spoiler, infrared suppression coating, dual hydraulic control systems, and bulletproof glass, it can greatly reduce the risk of being shot down by the latest "Stinger" missile.
Danger.
"Qin, it will become very dangerous after entering an area where illegal armed activities are rampant."
"I know, the colonel told me." Qin Fei said: "There is one thing. I need you and the commander of the Alpha team to contact the colonel immediately. In response to this dangerous situation, he has something to announce to you.
"
"What?" Yushchenko was stunned.
"This is related to a secret. For this operation, he and I both thought of a backup plan. Let me tell you when we are about to arrive near the landing site. This is to keep it secret." Qin Fei said.
Yushchenko was shocked.
What is the backup plan that is so mysterious? Even his subordinates can’t believe it? (To be continued)
