At the other end, Lin Hai retracted his body, found a safe position, and lit a cigarette. The other SEALs immediately gathered around him: "How is it?"
"Is there anyone else operating besides our team? I just discovered that there are snipers at our five o'clock position!"
Portman, the wild boy officer leading the team, immediately became nervous: "Is it a sniper from the Houthi armed forces?"
The SEAL team does not have artillery, so there is no effective counter-sniper method. In modern warfare, counter-sniper is not the sniper confrontation in games and movies, but after finding the approximate location of the sniper, the second battalion commander will open fire and directly shoot the sniper.
Covering an area with artillery fire and killing them directly is recognized as the best way to deal with snipers, bar none.
"No, they are observing the warehouse opposite us just like us, and they should also be here to rescue the hostages!"
Portman was stunned for a moment. Who rescued the hostages? Are there other hosts in the mission? Or were they sent to the rescue by the US government or other governments that had hostages kidnapped?
"Pay attention to them and leave two people to observe them during the night operation!" Portman thought for a while and did not cancel the operation. It was still carried out as planned. However, the manpower was already tight, and now it is even more tense.
However, Portman knew that it was basically impossible to rescue the hostages with his own manpower, but the mission description clearly stated that when he successfully rescued the hostages, reinforcements would immediately arrive, and his most important task was to rescue the hostages.
, instead of sending the hostages out of Aden, otherwise it would be a fantasy for ten people to escape from Aden with 300 hostages.
Time passed little by little. Compared with Yu Yang's side taking turns to rest, the ten hosts were much more nervous. Except for Lin Hai who kept holding his weapon and closing his eyes, the other hosts were either praying or wiping themselves.
Weapons, making final preparations for tonight's action.
In a small room at the edge of the warehouse, ten hosts of the Houthi armed forces were also gathering. Soderlund of the Canadian Second Special Service Team placed a terrain map in front of him: "Seals generally choose three ways to break in: diving and landing.
This is their strength, after all, they are called SEALs, but the Gulf of Aden is more than thirty kilometers away from us, and with the current civil war in the city, it is basically impossible to settle down, so we can rule it out!"
"The second method is to land by air. This is one of the most commonly used methods by Navy SEALs and one of the most commonly used methods in modern special operations. You all should know it without me introducing it further!"
After Soderlund finished speaking, the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and he pointed at eight locations on the map: "I am here. Stinger anti-aircraft missiles are deployed in a total of eight corners here. If the SEALs take the
When the helicopter comes back, I'll give Americans another taste of Black Hawk Down!"
"The third method is to break into the ground, usually in conjunction with air landing, in the center area of the special team space, and then the ground troops attack. This is also one of the methods commonly used by SEALs, but in the final analysis, the second and third methods of assault are both
It's airborne, and I've asked the commander to bring out the radar truck. As long as there is a helicopter coming nearby, we will shoot it down immediately!"
Soderlund knows seals very well and is familiar with basically all the methods of seals. The three methods he mentioned are indeed the most commonly used methods of seals. These are basically the methods commonly used by all special forces. After all, not every special forces force
They are all called dragons and they can fly in wingsuits.
"Let me tell you about our defensive strategy. Although the SEALs will most likely land by air, we cannot rule out the possibility that they will also choose to land some distance in front of the warehouse. The US warships are in the Gulf of Aden, and the SEALs should come from the south.
Come here, so the focus of our defense is on the south!"
"The three of you blended into the hostages. You are white, so blending into the hostages will not cause suspicion. The remaining people, follow me. When the alarm is received, enter the seventh floor and the main entrance of the warehouse as soon as possible.
Position to defend...Don't be too nervous, everyone. The seals will usually collect intelligence for a period of time. The probability of them coming today is not high. The deadline is twelve hours away, which is the seals' favorite time to operate!"
After simply setting up the defensive positions, Soderlund dismissed the meeting and waited for the arrival of the seals. His last words were originally intended to ease everyone's tension, which made many people lower their guard.
Everyone has been a soldier and knows that intelligence reconnaissance and analysis will be carried out before a battle. It has only been a few hours since the Houthi armed forces issued a statement. Even if the SEAL team comes, they will not act so quickly.
Several people chatted with each other and walked out of the warehouse. Only the Korean who was afraid of death was nervously preparing. This guy's only hope was that he could survive.
In the warehouse, Yu Yang's father-in-law, a middle-aged man named Gu Changshun, and a group of hostages were crowded into a room. There were at least 400 people in this room, including people of all colors.
Some people were crying softly, some were comforting their frightened relatives and friends, some were praying, some were in a daze, and Yu Yang's father-in-law was sleeping!
Yu Yang's father-in-law, Mr. Gu, is also a strange person. He came to the United States with his father when he was a child. When he grew up, he served in the American army. After retiring, he taught himself a pilot's license and was admitted to United Airlines, becoming a
A civil aviation pilot, and the kind of pilot who specializes in flying dangerous routes, such as routes from the United States to Africa, or routes in the Middle East.
Mr. Lao Gu has braved artillery fire many times to fly into various war-torn countries for evacuation missions, and successfully evacuated. He has also encountered various dangers, so when he was kidnapped, he seemed very defensive and even a little curious.
"Captain, Captain!" The co-pilot next to him gently pushed Mr. Gu, who opened one eye and looked at him: "Stop talking and save some energy. These armed men may not give you any help."
Let’s eat and conserve our energy so that we can run as fast as possible when the rescue team comes!”
Choked by Lao Gu's words, the co-pilot beside him immediately shut up and just stuffed a chocolate over him: "Captain, I have a few more chocolates here, give you one!"
"Don't eat it, I don't need it. You give these chocolates to those children, they need this thing even more!" After Lao Gu finished speaking, he moved his body and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
He once took stock of his surroundings, but after thinking about his skills, he was still not prepared to do anything extraordinary. After all, the lives of hundreds of people were at stake.
