Georgia, located near the border between Russia and Kazakhstan, was an old industrial area during the Soviet era. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, this place was gradually abandoned because it was at the border between the two countries. From the satellite images, it looked like there were abandoned factories everywhere. Unexpectedly,
It became a base for the Chechen armed forces.
The Pentagon finally chose to believe this intelligence, because they did not have any other sources of intelligence. The huge CIA was working at full strength, but no trace of Percy was found. Such important intelligence actually relied on Russia. This intelligence can be said to be
Slap the CIA hard.
Of course, the Pentagon did not take any measures. The CIA verified it from all aspects and basically determined that the news had a high probability to be true.
The satellite is photographing the target area 24 hours a day, and the CIA's intelligence analysts are fully analyzing the data there and preparing various plans. The intelligence was shared by Russia. No one knows whether Russia is holding back something bad.
Just in case, or for comfort, Barnes asked Irving to participate in this operation. Irving originally wanted to ignore him. He was only responsible for building a bridge between the United States and Russia, and there was no need to get involved, but
After learning that the unit responsible for this operation was 141, I finally agreed.
Because of the ghost, Owen has a good relationship with the British members of 141. Simon Riley, Price and others are both from the SAS and have personal contacts. Owen also recognizes their combat effectiveness.
In contrast, Owen, the American side of the Alloy team, has not had much contact with them. Although he knows that they are affiliated with the Delta, there has not been much communication in the limited cooperation, and there is no friendship between them.
…
In a military base, a helicopter landed slowly, and the sound of propellers filled the night sky. Owen pushed open the hatch and ran out of the plane, stooped, and the strong wind made him unable to open his eyes.
"Steve Irwin?"
A sergeant was waiting outside. Owen nodded, and the sergeant tilted his head: "Follow me~"
The sergeant led Owen into a two-story building and stopped in front of a briefing room.
Owen pushed the door open and saw a group of soldiers sitting inside, all of whom were acquaintances, Captain Price of the SAS, Xiaoqiang, Soap, and the captain of the Alloy Team, Sandman, and next to him were his team members Frostbite and Grinch.
The room was filled with smoke. Captain Price, who was wearing a beanie hat, was smoking a cigar. A group of people were obviously chatting and waiting for Irving.
"Haha, man, long time no see~"
When Price saw Irving, he stood up with a smile and gave Irving a hug, and Irving greeted others one after another.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start..."
Price motioned to Irving to find a place to sit down, then he stood in front of the briefing board, pressed the switch in his hand, and a photo was projected onto the screen.
"This operation is codenamed 'Insect Hunting'. The Georgia we are going to is located near the border between Russia and Kazakhstan. It is an old industrial area of the former Soviet Union and the terrain is very complex. What's worse is that according to the photos taken by the satellite,
, the climate there is not very good, guys, what is certain is that we may have to suffer some hardships..."
Price joked while introducing relevant information about this mission.
Pictures were posted one after another, and not all the news heard from Price was good, but everyone's expressions were very indifferent. This kind of situation has long been common.
"Wait, those trucks and helicopters?"
"Haha, I forgot to mention that it is now occupied by Chechen armed forces and has become a temporary base for them. It is conservatively estimated that there are no less than 600 armed personnel inside, and they are also equipped with some heavy firepower..."
"How are we going to arrange our entry and exit?"
"The U.S. military is responsible for this. Please tell me the details..."
The action plan for each mission of 141 is jointly discussed by the United Kingdom and the United States. When it comes to the part that the United States is responsible for, Sandman took over and said: "Because the other party has a high probability of having an air defense radar, the military can only deliver us to
Near the border with Kazakhstan, we need to enter the target area on our own. After completing the target and reaching the nearest evacuation point depending on the situation, the military will send a plane to pick us up and leave..."
Everyone nodded.
"Is there any support?"
"No, once we enter Georgia, we can only rely on ourselves. What we have to do is to find the target person Percy and get the black box without alerting the enemy, and then retreat quickly..."
"Where exactly do we enter?"
The question this time was from Owen.
"Here~"
Price pointed to a photo, which was taken by satellite. There was white snow everywhere. The place Price pointed to was a cliff behind the base.
"cliff?"
Some people don't understand.
"Yes, guys, no one would have thought that someone would sneak in from here..."
Everyone looked at each other, and Price showed a very gentlemanly smile and looked around: "Guys, I hope you have all learned rock climbing."
…
Half an hour later, the heavily armed 141st Special Forces Group boarded a military special plane. Different from the past, this time everyone was wearing snow protective clothing. It was still late autumn in Washington, but it was already ice and snow in Georgia, and the cabin was completely clear.
Snow camouflage and thick protective clothing, in bad weather, non-combat attrition can be very serious.
The plane flew into the sky in the night, and the cabin became quiet. Everyone was seizing the time to rest. No soldier performing special missions would waste their energy on chatting. It has become their subconscious habit to conserve energy at all times.
A few hours later, voices gradually began to sound in the cabin, and everyone who woke up began to joke.
Irving also opened his eyes. He was woken up by the smell of cigarettes. Sure enough, across from him, Price was smoking a cigar and looking at him with a smile. This old guy likes to show off, always holding a cigar in his mouth.
I can't take a few puffs, but I can smoke a cigar for several days.
Captain Price looked at Owen with a smile: "Man, Simon just contacted me two days ago. He said that your house was blown up by that Percy, hahaha..."
Price laughed wantonly, and other people around him also laughed. Owen looked unhappy. The ghost was really a big mouth.
"We will arrive at the designated location in sixty seconds, please be ready to parachute..."
The driver's announcement came from the loudspeaker on the wall of the warehouse. Everyone who was joking just now stopped and began to check their equipment. Price also put out his pretentious cigar and put it away.
"Arrive at the designated location in thirty seconds..."
The driver's announcement came over the loudspeaker again, and everyone was ready.
The red signal light came on, the lift door at the tail of the plane opened, and a strong cold wind blew into the belly of the plane, and everyone was refreshed.
The first snowmobile was pushed down, then Xiaoqiang, then the second snowmobile, then Soap...
Motorcycle...
people……
Motorcycle...
people……
People and equipment kept leaving the plane, turning into white parachutes in the pale night sky, forming a long and diagonal line.
A few kilometers away, and with such extreme weather, it was impossible for the 141 team members to enter on foot. Their plan was to take snowmobiles.
