Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lin Rui looked at the two CIA agents and asked, "What evidence do you have that the target will be hiding in underground fortifications?"

    Turner nodded, "First of all, we can prove that there are underground fortifications in this village. In fact, our surveillance of them has not decreased at all over the years. The one-eyed lone wolf Belmotar planned the Malian capital Bamakoli  After the Sheng Hotel massacre, we hunted down this terrorist many times. Through some channels, we learned that this village was originally a stronghold when he was smuggling cigarettes in Africa.

    So we found the accomplice who was involved in smuggling cigarettes with him.  This person personally testified that there was a medium-sized underground fortification underground in this village, which was originally the place where they stored smuggled goods.  The one-eyed wolf Belmotar decorated it like his underground palace.  He also lived there with his accomplices.

    This person also provided us with a schematic diagram of the underground passage.  But because the authenticity of the map cannot be verified, I did not include this information in the official information provided to you.  But there is no doubt that such an underground fortification does exist in the village of Nelmuri.  And our target person is probably hiding here.  "

    Crazy Horse shook his head and said, "I hate this, if there is no problem with open swords and open guns. But this kind of tunnel warfare drilling holes in the ground is too beneficial to the defender. The US military has suffered from this kind of tunnel warfare in Vietnam before.  A big loss. We are not the tunnel rat army."

    The Tunnel Rat troop that Crazy Horse mentioned also has a great background.

    During the Vietnam War, the Viet Cong guerrillas used authentic guerrilla tactics in villages to cause heavy casualties to the U.S. troops who thought their rear was safe.  These large underground tunnel networks can connect nearby villages, store ammunition and supplies, conceal troops launching sneak attacks, and are even large enough to hold a tank.  For the US troops who tried to send large numbers of infantry to encircle and suppress the villages, this became a nightmare.

    They have built large underground tunnels under each village, extending in all directions and fully functional. They have everything from command posts, barracks, hospitals, kitchens, and storage rooms. It is a completely indestructible underground fortress.  Even tanks can be hidden underground.  If necessary, the guerrillas can launch sneak attacks against the US military at any time.  During the Vietnam War, the United States did not have today's ground-penetrating missiles, and the indiscriminate bombing by aircraft was completely ineffective.

    The U.S. military established a special unit: the Tunnel Rat Unit.  Their mission is simple and clear: fight fire with fire, get into every dark tunnel, find out the location of the enemy's command post, and then use T4 explosives to blow up the tunnel.

    It¡¯s easier said than done. It¡¯s hard to do.  Most of the underground tunnels in Vietnam are narrow tunnels that can only accommodate one person. Short and flexible Vietnamese have no problem, but tall and tall American soldiers have difficulty moving, not to mention crawling alone in dark and dangerous tunnels.  Overcome the claustrophobia inherent in humans.

    The "Tunnel Rat" troop is small in number, mainly coming from engineers from the US 1st Infantry Division, as well as some soldiers from Australia and New Zealand. They are all thin, strong-willed soldiers selected to volunteer to become a tunnel rat crawling in the dark.  mouse.  And their equipment is simpler, usually a pistol and a flashlight, and at most a tactical knife with a handle. The terrain is narrow, and it is useless to bring too many other weapons. Throwing grenades in the tunnel means hurting both sides and burying themselves alive.

    The U.S. Army Tunnel Rat Unit is a special death-defying unit that survived a narrow escape. They suffered heavy casualties due to the Vietnamese counterattack. At the end of the Vietnam War, almost all members of this unit died. There are very few surviving Tunnel Rats left. Among the U.S. military,  A heroic existence.

    Calder explained, "The situation will not be that complicated, and you will not encounter dangers like the Vietnam War. The one-eyed lone wolf Belmoretar has fought in Afghanistan. In fact, his tactics are all derived from fighting in the mountains of Afghanistan."  I learned it from school. One of the main difficulties the Soviets faced when they invaded was getting the mujahideen out of the caves. We had the same problem in Afghanistan.

    At that time, the upper echelons of the Ministry of Defense believed that no one could withstand the advanced technology war machine of the United States.  As long as the air force dispatches, it can easily win. In just a few months of operations, it dispatched 85,000 fighter sorties and dropped 30,750 munitions weighing more than 9,650 tons.  The various light and heavy ammunition consumed in the past 17 years can probably kill people all over the world ten times. All available high technologies have been used, but the jihadists, numbering tens of thousands, are still launching counterattacks.

    Now the one-eyed wolf Belmotar wants to learn what he did in Afghanistan, but I'm sorry, but it doesn't work.  Because most of the mountainous areas in Afghanistan are natural caves, only a small amount of manual excavation is required.  But in their village, they could only dig underground, and his personnel and equipment could not sustain such a large project.  Even if he uses the old cave where smuggled goods were hidden, he can't??Excavation of underground fortifications and tunnels on a large scale like in Afghanistan.  Looking at it from another perspective, he wanted to avoid us, but in the end he trapped himself underground and couldn't go anywhere.  "

    "How much do you know about the tunnels in that village?" Lin Rui asked

    "We have a topographic map, plus drone surveillance aerial data from the past few months. The location of the tunnel entrance can be determined, but the internal conditions have not yet been fully explored." Calder replied.

    "We can sneak into this village, control the tunnel entrance without alerting the surrounding guards, and then use tear gas to force them out." Crazy Horse nodded.

    "This is also a method. But if there are other ventilation equipment in the tunnel, or if they prepare gas masks, this method may not work." Lin Rui nodded.

    "Then what should we do? Can we just go into the hole with a pistol to find someone?" Sergey frowned.

    "Don't forget, we have a topographic map of the village's tunnels. We can sneak into the village silently and then get into the hole to find them." Turner said to Lin Rui.  "And we have this." He placed something on the table that looked like a kettle.

    "What is this?" Lin Rui frowned and looked at the kettle in his hand.

    "Although the specially-made anesthetic gas is an oily substance, it can continue to evaporate and is not obviously irritating. We can pour this stuff down through the tunnel vents, and then wait for ten or twenty minutes, and the people below will  They all fainted. We only need to go down and find the one-eyed lone wolf Belmotar, and then kill him, and then we can escape. The whole process will not alert the guards and other terrorists outside." Turner looked at Lin Rui and said.
