"It takes a while, but the safety is worth it." Lin Rui whispered. "Crazy Horse, watch out for mines as you advance."
Crazy Horse nodded and took out a box from the huge tactical backpack on his back. They had anticipated the possibility of landmines during this operation.
Since the Soviet invasion, the war in Afghanistan has not stopped. After the British and American troops withdrew last year, there are currently nearly a million landmines buried in Afghanistan. There have been nearly 100,000 amputated victims, and it will take hundreds of years to clear these mines.
Among them, the most notorious is the "Butterfly" landmine used during the Soviet occupation. Because it is wrapped in green plastic, many children mistook it for a toy and were injured. It is extremely sensitive and weighs only five kilograms. Enough to detonate such a mine.
But Lin Rui and others also have a way to deal with it. They have the latest special mine detection device, a new neutron mine detector developed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy. This kind of detector is low cost and fast, and can easily detect landmines with little or no metal content.
This new neutron mine detector looks similar to a metal detector and contains a pager-sized neutron source and a mine detection device that sweeps across the ground. It uses the principles of physics to find signals that indicate the presence of landmines. The detector is capable of detecting hydrogen present in the packaging and explosives of plastic or metal mines, as well as its interaction with neutrons.
In other words, this kind of thing can be identified as long as it has explosives. Moreover, the detection area is ten square meters, and any abnormality will be fed back to the tactical computer, causing a timely impact, which is enough for the team to move quickly.
Lin Rui and Crazy Horse led the O2 team to bypass the most likely defense area of ??these militants and moved to the rear of their camp. Lin Rui suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand, making a gesture behind him, and the team members immediately stopped. Jiang An whispered, "What's going on?"
"Crazy Horse discovered the mines, and they indeed placed a large number of mines behind the camp. From now on, we must be careful." Lin Rui whispered.
Crazy Horse stared at the tactical tablet fixed on his arm and whispered, "Two mine belts twelve meters wide. The arrangement is not very messy, it should be arranged by hand. This is good news, I am most afraid of it. What we encountered was air-dropped mines, with no rules at all. Artificial mines at least follow a general range. Be careful, you must follow us completely from now on."
¡°Damn it, there is no vegetation cover here, it¡¯s all barren mountains, we are completely exposed to the enemy.¡± Snake Eyes looked around and whispered, he took out the silencer and installed it on his sniper rifle.
"Keep your voice down, we must approach silently, like a cheetah in the dead grass of Africa. Become one with the environment, approach slowly and gracefully, and then complete the fatal blow in a sprint at extremely high speed. This is the essence of a killer." Lin Rui whispered. He didn't say it to his teammates, but more like a psychological hint to himself.
After passing through the minefield, he slowly took off his night vision goggles, moved his neck, waved to Sausage, "Come here, Sausage, can you get an explosive device that can remotely cause the mines here to explode?"
"It depends on the specific type of mine, but I think I should be able to do it." Sausage nodded.
"Do it immediately. I want to detonate the minefield immediately after rescuing the hostages, so that the attention of the armed personnel will be concentrated at the back of the camp." Lin Rui pointed in the direction, "You follow Crazy Horse, I will give you ten minutes. Get this job done, and the rest will stay hidden."
"The boss is so close, I can even see the lights there." Sergey whispered.
"Lights? I should have thought that there is no electricity on the mountain, how could they use large electronic jamming devices. It turns out they use diesel generator sets." Lin Rui whispered.
"This old-fashioned generator set is not silent, so it is very noisy. The silencer may be able to control the gunfire to an acceptable range, coupled with the noisy background. I can clear out most of the guards, If I could see them." Snake Eyes whispered.
"There will be a chance, but you'd better not shoot easily. The long-range shooting of you and Viper Yelena is the auxiliary firepower of the team's overall operation. It should not be exposed too early. Look at my gestures later." Lin Rui said lowly. vocal channel.
"Don't worry, I know how to do it." Snake Eyes nodded.
Soon Sausage and Crazy Horse were back together. "Okay, Captain, this is the remote control. Once I press it, I can guarantee that the nearby mines will be detonated. It's hard to say how many mines can be detonated, but the movement will definitely be quite large." Sausage whispered.
"That's right, you follow us, SherCome over too, we may need your lockpicking skills. Lin Rui whispered, "The rest of the people stay behind and pay attention to both sides. They may have patrols." If you encounter it, try to solve it silently. "The world was pitch black, and mosquitoes were buzzing around them. After an unknown amount of time, first there was a breeze, blowing gently around them.
After a while of low-lying and sneaking, they finally found a row of shacks on the high hill in front of them, which looked like small local villages. Along the way, they found many such local homes. The houses were built very casually, and sometimes Among the branches of trees, sometimes on a high hill, a few tree stumps and adobe walls prop up a few straw curtains, and they are propped up casually with branches, and it is home.
The arrival of the war broke the peaceful life of the local people, and many people abandoned their homes and fled. Some never came back. The lights on those straw shacks were undoubtedly bright lights in the darkness. Lin Rui immediately made a gesture and reached down to touch the row of shacks.
Soon Sergey quietly came to the outside of a shack and was about to use his gun to open the curtain. Lin Rui grabbed him, shook his hand, and pulled out the knife with his backhand. The black matte-finished blade has no reflection at all, and there is only a trace of silver line where the blade opens.
Sergey understood what he meant, put away the gun, and drew the knife. But when he lifted the curtain, he felt a strange touch that made his heart move slightly. He slowly lifted a corner and suddenly caught a glimpse of a thin thread, which glowed bright white under the dim light in the room.
Sergey almost broke out in a cold sweat, this one was a booby trap. Hidden under a straw curtain, if someone else opens the curtain and rushes in, they will immediately pull the trip wire and detonate the grenade hidden behind the straw curtain. Sergey immediately put down the dagger and made a stop gesture to Lin Rui. Then he slowly lowered the straw curtain.
