It was completely dark, and several vehicles led by Lin Rui and others finally entered the eastern border of Afghanistan.
In fact, only after entering this border crossing do people know what a mountain road is. The road is rugged and full of rocks. The slope of the mountain is more than 40 degrees, and off-road vehicles cannot climb it at all. It¡¯s no wonder that small donkeys are favored here, as these animals are more durable than carts.
After passing for a while, Lin Rui and others had no choice but to abandon the assault vehicle and walk across the mountains to reach the nearest Afghan checkpoint, where they had originally agreed to meet.
This checkpoint is next to the road at the foot of the mountain. The section of the canyon it is guarding is dozens of kilometers long. It is more than a kilometer wide and several hundred meters narrow. There is a river passing through the canyon. Most of the areas on both sides of the canyon are cliffs. cliff. It has been a strategic location since the British took control of it. And a military fortress was built here.
The view in the canyon is very broad, there are no tall trees, only rocks, weeds and low bushes. But the checkpoint was so quiet, there was almost no movement.
Lin Rui, who went out to explore the road, hid behind a big rock and carefully observed the situation of the checkpoint in the distance and the terrain around it. The checkpoint was located in the middle of the canyon, cutting off the canyon passage. The original ancient British fortress was built on On a high ground, the right side is close to the cliffs of the canyon, and the left side is a long-dried river.
The checkpoint wall is made of large stones more than one meter long and more than 20 centimeters tall. It is ten meters high and has stacks on it. From a distance, it looks like a corner of the Great Wall, with machine guns sticking out from between the walls. I could vaguely see someone walking up there. The entrance to the checkpoint is very small, only more than two meters wide, and the two iron doors are tightly closed.
"The situation is not right." Lin Rui whispered. Through the telescope, he could clearly see the dense white spots left on the bluestone of the wall, which were shot by machine guns. The bullets hitting the wall could only leave a single white spot, without causing any damage to the city wall.
In front of the fortress is an open area with many pits on the ground and some rubble scattered around, left behind after the explosion. Looking at the defense situation here, Lin Rui frowned. The strong walls and tight defenses of the fortress were beyond his imagination. And although this place has been cleaned, it can still be seen that a battle of a certain scale took place.
Originally this was the rendezvous point agreed between them and the US military, but now there are no Americans. Lin Rui's eyes flickered and he whispered to Jiang An, "Contact those Americans to confirm their situation."
¡°Can¡¯t reach us, communication was interrupted abnormally.¡± Jiang An shook his head.
"Maybe it's not an abnormal interruption, but they are all dead." Lin Rui whispered.
"No way? They have two teams, a larger number of Afghan security forces, and the air superiority of drones." Crazy Horse frowned, "It's enough to deal with these anti-government armed personnel."
"Unless they are not dealing with Afghan rebels." Lin Rui handed the binoculars to Crazy Horse in a low voice, "Two o'clock direction, you can see for yourself."
Crazy Horse looked through the telescope and saw only a section of gray-white fuselage remains hidden among the trees. "Damn it, they shot down the drone." Crazy Horse whispered, "It seems that the response team is finished. Damn it, didn't these guys say there should be no problem? What should we do now?"
Shogan pointed to the terrain map and whispered, "The enemy must have occupied the fortress that saw the checkpoint first. When the US military and Afghan armed forces who responded to us arrived, they were annihilated in one fell swoop. Heavy weapons cannot be transported here. Coming in, small weapons have no effect on the wall. There are cliffs on the right and a river on the left.
There is a ten-meter-high wall on the river, with an open area in front. Not only is there nowhere to hide, but mines are also laid, making it impossible to get on. After killing the US drones, the group of US troops blocked in the canyon are like Like a living target.
The other team members looked at the checkpoint in front and were silent, thinking about countermeasures.
Sergey looked at it for a while, then crawled to the left side. He dug through weeds and a long strip of low bushes and took a look. He wanted to test the depth of the river. He found a few small stones from the ground and threw them in from the river. He could judge the approximate depth of the river by the sound and splash of the small stones falling into the water. After the test, he climbed up to the team members and asked softly: "How are you doing, boss? Do you have a plan?"
"It's really not possible. It seems that the only way is to pass through the water. That position is their defensive blind spot," Lin Rui replied in a low voice.
"I thought so too." Sergey whispered.
"But there is a problem, what should we do with the hostages? We may be able to swim armed, and then climb over from the stone wall on one side, and bypass these armed men without knowing it.them. But what about the hostages? They don't have this ability, and they are the target of this mission. "Jiang'an whispered.
"Okay, it's too close here and it's easy to be exposed. Let's move back a little bit first." Lin Rui ordered the O2 team members to withdraw from the hiding place, and then returned to the back of the hillside.
After arriving at the safe area, Lin Rui immediately asked Jiang An to gather his team members to study the combat plan. He whispered: "We now have two rescued hostages. They are the main targets of this operation, so it is impossible to leave them behind. So it is impossible to bypass them silently. And attacking such a fortress, There are no more than two methods, force attack and sneak attack. Force attack is definitely not possible for us, so there is only one method of sneak attack. I need you to talk about your ideas, how to overcome this difficulty? "
Sergey expressed his opinion first, "To enter this fortress, the possibility of entering from the front is very small. There are only two ways to consider. One is to come down from the cliff. I observed it and found that this way does not work. 1 The cliff is too high, and the bottom of the cliff is concave. After hanging down, it may not fall somewhere inside the fortress.
Then I can only go up from the river on the left. As long as I can reach the left wall, climbing up is not a problem, but I guess not everyone can do it, and there are two towers and searchlights on the left, so it can You can clearly see the situation there, otherwise the defense on the top of the left wall would not be so loose. "
"That's right, if you climb on a stone wall, unless you are a monkey, you can complete the climb within twenty seconds. Otherwise, you will be treated as a living target by the opponent." Crazy Horse shook his head and said, "You said that Don¡¯t even think about this path, it¡¯s not feasible at all.¡±
"But as long as I can sneak in, I can cooperate with the team and defeat it from the inside." Sergey said unconvinced.
