"Boss, our escort mission has been completed and the convoy has arrived at the Shah border." Liu He, who was escorting expatriates north of the Yemeni capital, finally called and said, "Please give instructions on the next step of the mission."
"Is nothing wrong?" Xu Chuan, who was still on the helicopter, shouted loudly with a satellite phone.
"Everything goes well, boss, but there is something strange." Liu He said about a piece of information he noticed.
After hearing this, Xu Chuan frowned and thought for a while, then continued to shout and replied, "Okay, I understand, you go to Hazm City now, which is still under the control of government forces."
"Understood." Liu He hung up the phone. Xu Chuan looked at Michael's questioning eyes across from him, "Let's talk after we get down. It's too noisy on the plane."
"Comrade Luo, Tong Li and Xia Nan have returned to Aden safely. The captain asked us what else we need?" Yang Rui lay in the shadow of the grass and asked Luo Jialing.
"No, I need the warship to provide me with ground attack support in case of a war with the enemy." Luo Jialing squinted her eyes and looked at Yang Rui, "The problem is that your ship can't do this job."
Yang Rui smiled and ignored her obvious sarcastic tone. Although their LY 054A guided missile frigate was just launched into service this year, it is only equipped with Haihongqi 16 air defense missiles and anti-ship missiles, and its ground attack can only
It is indeed very unrealistic to use that 76mm naval gun to support the combat mission here.
"There will be, and there will be in the future," Xu Hong said with a smile.
"Captain, the drone is ready." Communications Corpsman Zhuang Yu assembled a latest small short-range drone. It takes off by hand. It can stay in the air for two hours, has a range of 125 kilometers, and can fly up to
At an altitude of 4,000 meters, it is equipped with an infrared camera that can directly transmit images back to the warship through a data link.
Looking at Zhuang Yu flying the drone, Xu Hong said, "Now the equipment is getting better and better. This guy couldn't even think about it a few years ago."
"Haha, the captain still remembers the exercises in the past two years. The drone we modified from a model aircraft was blown into the yard of a local villager by the wind. The two of us even knocked on the door and asked for it. It was really embarrassing.
…”
"01,01, this is Jiaolong Team 1. The drone has been released. The image control check is completed." Yang Rui looked at the tablet in his hand, which displayed the image returned by the drone.
"Team Jiaolong 1, this is 01, the image control check is intact, repeat, the image control check is intact." After the drone took off, control was directly handed over to the drone pilot on the warship, with specialized intelligence analysts.
The returned images will be analyzed and sent to Jiaolong Team 1 on site.
"Captain, captain, this is Gu Shun." Gu Shun was in the sniper position on the east hillside. "I heard the sound of a helicopter, but I couldn't see it."
Yang Rui raised his head and looked around with a telescope, "Director Li, can you see it from there?" In another sniper position where a camouflage net was set up, Director Li carefully observed the surroundings.
"Captain, I can't see it here either. The plane should be flying at low altitude in the valley."
"01,01, can you see it from there?"
"Team Jiaolong, I will raise the height of the drone to get a better view, please stand by."
Not long after, the drone reached the preset height. "Team 1, Jiaolong, found four helicopters 3 kilometers to the west of you. There were 15 unidentified armed men. They seemed to be flying drones too. Please
Please be safe”
Of course, those on the other side are Xu Chuan and others. "Curtis, take the remaining people and fly the helicopter to the nearest government army supply point. Stand by there and be ready to respond to us at any time." Xu Chuan bent down,
He shouted loudly in Curtis's ear, "Listen, no one is allowed to contact the outside from the time you get there. If anyone has different opinions, you know what to do."
"Understood, boss," Curtis replied loudly, baring his white teeth.
The four helicopters still flew at low altitude and flew away along the side of the valley. Xu Chuan and others climbed up the hillside, where they could see the small town of Bassem not far away.
Looking at the map, Xu Chuan held a telescope covered with a blackout net and observed the surrounding terrain. Bassem Town only had two roads leading in and out from the west and south. "Two roads, which one to bet on?" Michael glanced at Xu.
Chuan asked.
"To the west, to the west is Ibb Province, which is the largest advance base of the rebels." Xu Chuan considered the existing intelligence and quickly analyzed it in his mind, "By the way, Liu He just told me
, the Yemeni rebels seemed to have behaved abnormally before. When they passed the rebel blockade, they found that there were many European faces among the rebels. He inquired with his acquaintances and found that there had been a large number of Chechen armed forces and Eastern Europeans recently.
Joined the rebel camp"
"It seems like things are getting more and more complicated." Michael sighed.
"It doesn't matter. My only target is Ald. If we kill him, we will retreat."
"Boss, the Big Crow has taken off." Sanborn climbed over, holding a special tablet computer, "I'm searching for any patrols nearby."
"Be careful to hide, I don't think these people are like ordinary rebels."
"What are they doing?" Yang Rui looked at the drone picture, "Is the government army conducting combat operations here?"
"It's not such a coincidence." Xu Hong frowned and looked at the screen.
"Ignore them for now, what's the situation in Bassem Town?" Luo Jialing asked from the side.
Yang Rui licked his chapped lips, "At least one company has been strengthened, and 4 taels of tanks have been found, but I don't know if they can be opened?"
"Captain, please be lenient with the enemy. Let's just assume they can shoot." Xu Hong said, "This is going to be a tough battle."
"Where is the patrol? Are there any checkpoints outside?" Luo Jialing asked calmly
Yang Rui handed over the tablet. It could be seen that armed personnel were guarding the entrances and exits of the town. At least two groups of patrol teams driving pickup trucks were spotted around the town. "Comrade Luo, what should we do?"
Xu Chuan looked at the picture sent back by his own Big Crow drone, "I'm not here to attack the enemy. First, make sure Ald is here, and of course Ayman Zawahi. I don't believe he can always be here.
