824. Chapter 824 - Psychological Defense Lines
Just as Lewis was confused, there was a knock on the door outside. Lewis frowned, "Come in." ”
It was Lewis's new assistant who came in.
He placed a copy of the text on his desk.
"Sir, this is what you need, all the reports about the attack on the Bagram base. ”
Lewis nodded and said, "This is really a headache, who do you think will do it?"
"Whoever it is, it's certainly not an Afghan armed group. ”
The assistant shook his head.
"They don't have that kind of strength. ”
"Who could that be?"
Lewis frowned.
"I guess the other party might be a mercenary. ”
The assistant whispered.
Lewis glanced at him and said a little strangely, "Why do you think that?"
"Because from some of their special details, it can be analyzed. For example, the weapons and equipment they use, their combat habits. can show that this is a small number of mercenaries, but very capable of mercenaries. First of all, I noticed a few traces of this report. Some of them use AK series assault rifles, as well as MP5 submachine guns, and the submachine guns are equipped with high-standard mufflers. Even for two identical MP5 submachine guns, we found bullet casings of different batches at the scene. The mixing and matching of different weapons makes it impossible to analyze the identity from the weapons and equipment, which is a common method for mercenaries in combat. ”
The assistant analyzed.
"Makes sense, but you've probably forgotten about it. There is Afghanistan, and the civilian population is full of scattered weapons. Especially those in the southern part of the local armed forces, their equipment is very messy, and the types and models of guns and bullet numbers are different, which does not explain anything. If they use uniform equipment, it will not be a local army, but a regular army. ”
Lewis corrected him.
"Yes. But this time the attackers were different. The weapons they use are all of a high standard, the original MP5 from the German Heckler-Koch factory, which is not cheap and not in large quantities. At this price, they can even use the same new equipment completely. But they deliberately showed a very messy feeling in the firearms. It's an experience, or a habit. ”
The assistant nodded.
That sounds like a bit of a point. ”
Lewis frowned.
"One more thing, two U.S. troops were knocked unconscious in that incident. The cause of their injuries was a concussion caused by a bullet strike on the FAST helmet. The gunners were very accurate in their marksmanship and were well aware of the performance of the weapons in their hands and the characteristics of the American military helmets. He clearly only wanted to stun the two soldiers, not kill them. ”
The assistant analyzed.
"I've noticed that too. ”
Lewis nodded.
The gunner deliberately chose this method, deliberately deflecting to one side when firing, and the guide bullet formed an angle instead of touching the helmet head-on, which was affected by the curved surface of the helmet and caused a bounce. This will cause a large impact force that acts on the helmet and directly stuns the opponent instead of killing them. Of course, with his marksmanship, it was even easier to kill them directly. ”
The assistant said.
Lewis was surprised by his new assistant, "I didn't expect you to be quite insightful." ”
"Sir, it's over. I'm just guessing. ”
The assistant smiled slightly, and he looked young and handsome when he smiled.
Lewis nodded, "I'm sorry, I didn't seem to pay enough attention to you before, so I didn't think to ask you until now." What's your name?"
"Sir, my name is White. ”
The assistant smiled and straightened the white gloves on his hands, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Oh, White. By the way, I've been a bit of a mess these days. What else do you think about this?"
Lewis seemed to be quite interested.
"I think they must have been trying to get some useful information from a few of the employees. Otherwise, they would not have bothered to capture them alive with such great effort. Of course, this is just my random speculation, which makes the gentleman laugh. ”
Huai nodded his head.
"You go out first. ”
Lewis nodded calmly.
When White went out, Lewis's heart was like a pot.
The young assistant's words reminded him that the other party must have wanted some information.
But who is the bottom line, and what do you want?
Lewis couldn't help but feel a pang of agitation.
And in an Afghan house near the base in Bagram.
Lin Rui and the others were also interrogating the three captured mercenaries of Deyang Company.
"They haven't said it yet?"
Lin Rui frowned and said, "It's been two days, right?"
Jason nodded, "Based on past experience, these people have been specially trained in anti-torture. They are able to control and adjust their mental state through psychological cues, avoid falling into the negative effects of fear and loneliness, and have a better and stronger psychological tolerance. Usually there is similar training in some special forces, and I have experienced some of it myself. This is a kind of practical training for the US military in dealing with modern psychological warfare. ”
"So they don't eat hard and soft?"
Lin Rui frowned.
"Most people will have a psychological breakdown under strong external pressure and cooperate with the interrogation completely. However, people who have undergone this kind of psychological training will use guò self-hypnosis or similar psychological suggestion to regulate their emotions, so that they are more able to withstand stress, less likely to collapse, and more tolerant of pain than the average person. ”
Jason shook his head.
"So there's nothing we can do with them?"
Lin Rui frowned.
"It can't be said that there is no way. ”
Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "As long as they can break through their psychological defenses, they will still collapse quickly." ”
Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "Jason, take a break, it's not a way to fight like this." Let's play with them about what psychological tactics are. I don't believe it, with the information we have now, we can't pry the mouths of these guys. ”
"What are you going to do?"
Shogishi frowned.
"Keep interrogating them. This time I'm coming. ”
Lin Rui nodded.
"Don't mess around, although they can hold on mentally, their bodies will still not be able to hold on. If it does, the trail we're pursuing will be broken. ”
Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"It's fine. I'm not going to be them. ”
Lin Rui nodded.
He turned around and walked into the cellar, turned on the light, and said to Wang Haoze, "Go, take off their hoods." ”
Wang Haoze nodded, and took off the hoods of the mercenaries of the Deyang Company who were tied to the pillar.
They narrowed their eyes at Lin Rui, still silent.
These guys all have blue noses and swollen faces, and one of them has a crooked nose, and Jason is ruthless enough.
But these guys are really good enough to hold on, and they still don't reveal a word.
Lin Rui smiled coldly and said, "If you don't say it, then I'll talk about it." How long can we last. ”
