Chapter 66
Early the next morning, the six military jeeps they had reacquired carrying twenty men and the arms that had been delivered one after another hit the road, aiming for Calabar, a Nigerian port city to the northwest, next to Cameroon.
The road was in average condition, and it took them more than four hours to cover the four hundred kilometers, from seven in the morning until twelve at noon, before they finally arrived at the army’s command headquarters more than sixty kilometers away from the village where Peace on the Sea was entrenched.
Said command headquarters, but in fact only a company of more than a hundred people, the company commander is and they have met the lieutenant, the commander-in-chief is the colonel, Nigeria’s military force in West Africa is considered one of the best, the world can also be ranked more than thirty, in order to deal with two hundred people of a pirate organization, sent out a company, visible to Yue Zhi’s degree of importance is still very high.
They ate a meal with the army, black leather and Thomas changed clothes and went out, although that village is now very chaotic, mixed in very easy, but in order not to be noticed, they can only bring the minimum weapons, two pistols and a military knife, the local weather is hot, there is no way to wear bulletproof vests in the neckline of the spacious cheap flower shirts, once discovered, it is quite dangerous.
So the west pole to the two people ear to ear a few times, “your task is to determine the location of Menggema and their position, take the opportunity to set up the camera, in case they are transferred, but also to report in time, not to let you go to the rescue of the people, don’t try to be brave.”
Especially Thomas, he usually has a good relationship with the elephants who disappeared together, and is a cranky acute, especially easy to impulse, but the team from the skin color of the other suitable candidates, so there is no way.
After packing up, the two men set off on a motorcycle that the army had found, broken down and looking like it would disintegrate at any moment.
An hour and a half later, the cameras in the pockets of the two men’s coats were sending the state of the village to Singota’s computer.
Although the picture was shaky and the sound wasn’t very clear, it was possible to see that there were indeed a lot of people in the village, there were already more than six hundred people, and with the two hundred or so from the organization, a small thousand people filled the not-so-large village to overflowing.
And those people from the organization didn’t avoid it at all, some of them were bare-chested, wearing shorts, with their pistols directly in the waist of their pants, while some of them had their sub-machine guns hanging around their necks, talking to the people in the village.
Most of the people in the village had tense and tight expressions, still fearful of these men with weapons, especially the women and children, who were basically invisible, supposedly all hiding in their homes.
“These people’s weapons are okay, both the quantity and quality are not what an armed force of their size should have.” Xiji said as he looked at the computer.
“Li Chaoke must have provided them with a source of funds and weapons, otherwise how would they trade.” Yue Zhi said.
Blackskin wandered over to the center of the village near the rather old church, the camera deliberately looking for an angle.
Those people still had some military quality, knowing to occupy the high ground, and there were two men with rifles on duty in the tower on the second floor of the church.
“No sniper . Rifle, the main shooter was using an AN-94 assault . Rifle, basically only used by the Russian Special Forces, the firing density and accuracy is quite high.” Yue Zhi recognized the weapon in the main shooter’s hand with a glance, “And it’s very expensive, even though there’s only one, it’s kind of blood money for them, it seems like Li Chaoke spent a lot of money this time.”
Xiji grinned, “I haven’t used this gun yet, once I’ve finished with the people, this gun will be mine.”
The others had no objections, this sort of thing was all sort of customary.
Around four in the afternoon, Thomas finally settled on the place where they were being held Monogram and he took advantage of the fact that the two guards on the church weren’t paying attention, climbed up to the roof and hid underneath the drying rack that was drying clothes on the roof of the house.
Just within firing range of the church, a small, unassuming house, the white skin of Mongoma and the elephant was instantly visible to Thomas, and with the fact that none of the windows of the houses here had any glass, the camera caught a very clear shot of what was going on in the house.
West Pole laughed out loud nonchalantly, “Holy shit! That’s tied up sturdier than a sheep on the grill!”
Everyone else laughed as well, and there wasn’t the slightest bit of tension left.
“It looks like a few people escaped several times before they were tied up like this.” Singota said, “Mongoose’s eye sockets are still swollen.”
Yue Zhi picked up his radio, “Thomas, can you hear me?”
Thomas’s headset was hidden in his back waist and he took it out and put it on once he was lurking, “Yes.”
“Find a chance to signal Montgomery, tell him about our battle plan and tell them to get ready.” Yue Zhi said.
Perhaps to not attract attention, there were no additional guards outside the house where the hostages were being held, and because the hostages were tied up really strong, there was no one in the house to watch, which was convenient for Thomas.
He took out a laser light and shook Mongoma’s eyes.
Mongema instantly excited, had been still brow drooping, the whole person sat up straight, stretched his neck to look out of the window, but could not see anything.
Thomas quickly gave the message to Mongerma in Morse code, and after completing his mission lurked in place without moving a muscle, keeping an eye on the other side in case the ‘Peace of the Seas’ people moved the hostages midway.
The action was two o’clock at night, the time when people were most sleepy and relaxed, and they were all waiting for that time to come.
Qing Li straightened the special operations uniform he was wearing, put on his bulletproof undershirt, put on his wireless headset, and confirmed his weapons and ammunition one by one.
Yue Zhi came back from outside, he had just gone out to find the colonel to confirm the battle plan.
Qing Li looked up at him and realized that there was something wrong with his expression, “What’s wrong?”
Yue Zhi pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, “Nothing, just saw some interesting weapons.”
Compared to political common sense or other cultural common sense, Qingli’s weapons knowledge base was much richer, “What is it?”
“Nothing really, I just didn’t think Nigeria could have such things.” Yue Zhi said.
Qing Li didn’t ask any more questions, after a while, Yue Zhi went out again, then she saw Liang Jin follow her out, the two stood outside and didn’t know what to say, Liang Jin poked his head in, “Singota, come here for a moment.”
Singota put down the computer on his lap and went out, after a while he came in, opened the large metal case on the side, took out two drones from it and started debugging.
“Didn’t you already debug two of them?” Aonashi asked.
“Well, this one is to be left over here for Liang Jin to operate, the boss said he wants to record the movements of the command center.” Singhota lowered his voice and said.
Qing Li understood, Yue Zhi must have found out that there were some movements in the government forces, but he couldn’t let the others know about it, lest it would shake the heart of the army, that’s why he handed the person over to secretly say it.
“Is there no problem, the army people won’t backstab us, right?” Qing Li asked.
Singota shook his head, “Looking at the boss, it shouldn’t be that kind of problem, it shouldn’t have any effect on this operation.”
“That’s good.” Aonashi guessed that it might be related to the deal between the two sides afterward, and that would not be something she would worry about.
At ten p.m., when it was already dark, they set off with the army towards the village, stopping quietly near a hill ten kilometers outside of the village and then starting to make their way there on foot.
Singota was the first to arrive at his mission area, a small hill about two hundred meters outside the village.
He immediately set up his power supply and computer and synchronized the feeds from the few cameras Thomas and Blackie had set up to spread out; the village was quiet and there was no movement.
“You’ll guard that spot, report anything, and absolutely no movement if nothing happens.” Singhota looked up and down, just in time to see the house that Aonashi would be going to later.
Qingli gripped the submachine gun in her hand tightly and nodded, “Don’t worry.”
She looked towards Yue Zhi and clutched the other party’s fingers, through the tactical gloves, she couldn’t feel the other party’s skin or temperature, but was still reassured, “You must be careful.”
Yue Zhi gave her a deep look, ignoring the fact that there were people around, he swept over her neck and kissed her fiercely, “You too, no matter how the mission goes, it’s important to save your life.”
At one in the morning, Xiji quietly climbed up a tree next to him, and raised the □□ M82 sniper rifle that he had specially brought in his arms for this mission. Rifle.
The effective range was more than 1500 meters, the maximum range could even reach six kilometers, and the large caliber of 12.7mm, together with the high-energy ammunition, could easily destroy a radar station, and even penetrate the engine of a fighter jet in a grounded state, and a normal wall couldn’t stop it at all.
“Wasted my gun.” The mission was less difficult than West Pole thought, he loaded the silencer and barely took deliberate aim, after two chirps the two men in the church tower fell silently to the ground.
He flung the gun onto his back and rolled over to jump down the tree, “Qing Li, go.”
Qing Li hugged Yue Zhi and followed Xiji in the night, one securing access and the other occupying the high ground, the two of them were the advance team.
Arriving at the first house, Qingli and Xiji signaled, stopping to press up against the wall, observing the situation from left to right before lifting their feet to enter.
This house didn’t even have a decent door, just a dirty old curtain hanging, she turned on the strong flashlight in her hand and shone it on the ground, a thin blanket was spread on a patch of grass, and the dark-skinned woman was sleeping with her arms around her two children.
The light shook, the woman woke up with a start, her skin color made her almost invisible, but the whites of her eyes were strikingly white, she looked at the heavily armed Qing Li subconsciously about to scream, Qing Li instantly closed in, and shoved the barrel of the pistol into the other’s mouth.
The woman’s face was twisted in horror, hissing sounds came out of her throat, but at least she didn’t scream out, she was shaking like a sieve, rubbing her hands in tears, praying that Qing Li would spare their lives.
“Can you understand English?” Qing Li asked in a low voice.
The woman stiffened her neck and nodded.
“I’ll take the gun out, don’t scream, if you dare to scream, I’ll break your head.” Aonashi whispered threateningly.
She slowly took the gun out, the woman immediately backed away, she seemed to want to escape, but still blocked the front of the two children.
Qing Li stood by the window and was able to see the main road that led straight to the church, “We’re just here to rescue someone, we’ll be gone before dawn, don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.”
In fact her gun was on safety, it wouldn’t even shoot.
The woman finally calmed down a bit, pulling the blanket towards the corner and yanking it around, sitting down against the wall.
Aonashi glanced at her tactical watch, it allowed her to check the location of each of her teammates, the points of light were all huddled together, they were all still outside of the village, out of action.
At two in the morning, West Pole shot down the two guards outside the hostage room, and Thomas, who had been waiting in the wings, picked up the enemy’s gun and flew in and began to untie Montgomery and the others.
Even with the silencer installed, the M82 was much louder, and besides, in the silent, dark night, there were still a lot of enemies on shift duty around the sniper point, so the other side quickly noticed that something was wrong.
“Someone’s invading!!!”
“Quickly go see the hostages!”
The village was in an uproar, and gunshots were fired.
Aonashi pressed herself against the wall and saw two enemies rushing out of the house next door, and didn’t hesitate to point and shoot to kill them. The gunfire was loud enough to wake up two four and five year olds, who cried uncontrollably and were coaxed into the arms of their own mother.
She took a moment to look back, feeling a little sorry for the children, who were clearly sleeping peacefully.
“Yo Cherry, long time no see.” Montgomery’s loud voice rang through the headphones.
Green Pear said lightly, “You owe us a lot, you’ll have to split your commission for this mission equally.”
“This damn gun is so hard to use,” Mongoma cursed, “You’re the boss’s man now, you’re a capitalist aren’t you, so close to writing exploitation on your brain.”
Green Pear smiled, looking at the sudden light spot of Monogram on her watch, “That’s not true, it’s her own money after all.”
