British military base military airfield in Freetown.

On the runway, two "Bobcat" helicopters with "Hellfire" anti-tank missiles and two "Little Antelope" helicopters with "Holt" anti-tank missiles and 20-millimeter machine guns slowly turned their propellers, four CH-47 Chinook heavy transport helicopters roared, and 130 heavily armed SAS special forces members divided into four teams and began to board the plane.

Lieutenant Colonel Taylor, the SAS commander in charge of the "Dawn" operation, stood by the runway, with no expression on his face painted with oil paint.

"Lieutenant Colonel Taylor!" A military jeep sped to the side of the runway and stopped, and a naval intelligence officer jumped out of the car and waved at him with a document.

"What's the matter?" Taylor suddenly had a bad premonition that the troops were about to set off just after the mission assessment meeting, and it was not a good thing for the intelligence officer to suddenly appear at this time.

"There is an order from headquarters, your operations are temporarily stopped, and personnel are on standby." The intelligence officer handed the document to Taylor.

Taylor cursed secretly in his heart, sure enough, nothing good, this is not a good sign! I scanned the documents, and sure enough, it was a military order from the military command.

"What the hell is going on!? My troops are about to depart, why be on standby!? Taylor slammed the document back into the intelligence officer's hand, "I hope you have a good reason!" ”

The intelligence officer pointed to the radio station in the jeep: "General Hammond is waiting for you online." ”

Taylor quickly ran to the jeep, picked up the radio headset and put it on, and said into the headset: "General, I'm Taylor, the operation is about to begin, why stop?" ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Taylor?" General Hammond's voice came from the airwaves: "MI6 suddenly came with a piece of information, according to our tip, someone smuggled ten 'Tunguska' air defense systems from Liberia into Sierra Leone three days ago, and it is believed that they were handed over to the rebels, all indications indicate that it is very likely to be deployed near Freetown, according to the assessment, it is too risky to take off to rescue now, and the operation must be temporarily stopped, you are on standby, waiting for the new order to be issued." ”

"What!?" Taylor couldn't believe his ears, "Why didn't the MI6 intelligence officers tell me about this at the assessment just now?" ”

"This is the latest intelligence, you must obey orders!" Hammond's tone was non-negotiable.

Taylor exclaimed: "Lieutenant Jack of the Pathfinder Platoon among the captured soldiers has contacted us, they have now escaped from the rebel base camp with the help of a mercenary team, and are currently retreating to the swamp west of Bo Town, the rebels have come out to hunt them down, the situation is very critical, if people are still detained by the rebels, it is okay to wait, but in this case, they will be killed!" ”

"People must be saved, and the 'Dawn' operation will not stop, but according to the situation, the action must be temporarily stopped! There is intelligence that the rebels have recently been aided by a mysterious force, and our intelligence agencies have not yet been able to assess the danger of this force, so they cannot act rashly! Hammond was a little dissatisfied with Taylor's verbosity, "Your plane is within range of the 'Tunguska' air defense system, we can't take this risk!" If a Chinook is lost, it will be a disaster for the military! ”

The Tunguska air defense system is a Soviet-made anti-aircraft system with a combination of anti-aircraft guns and 9M311 anti-aircraft missiles, which can hit various low- and medium-altitude targets at 200-8000 meters, and its tracking radar has a maximum tracking distance of up to 13 kilometers.

The practical ceiling of Chinook is only 2,900 meters, and it cannot escape the pursuit of the "Tunguska" air defense system, and the Chinook itself is very weak in defense, and it is generally accompanied by armed helicopters.

"If MI6 can figure out how they are deployed, we can go around!" Taylor was reluctant to stop his actions just like that, his comrades fled for their lives in the jungle hundreds of miles away, and his elite fighters, who were known as one of the world's most elite special forces, were powerless.

"If there is an exact location for them, won't I let you go around them?" Hammond said unhappily, "No one knows where they are deployed. Now we have decided to have the 16th Air Assault Brigade and the Sierra Leone Government Army form several search units to clear the rebels around Freetown and then deploy them when the threat from the ground is cleared. ”

"General......

"So be it! Execute the command! Hammond didn't bother to ramble with Taylor anymore and hung up the line.

Taylor took off his headphones, threw them on the seat of the jeep, rushed like a lion, returned to Chinook, and pressed the communicator to inform everyone: "Stop, everyone get off the plane immediately and stand by the airport!" ”

The SAS team members, who were halfway on the board, looked dazed, turned around and began to get off the plane, and for a while, everyone was talking.

A few hundred kilometers away, on a mountain eighteen kilometers west of Bocheng Town.

An explosion was heard in the distance, and a ball of fire shone brightly in the darkness.

The crosshair lowered the telescope and laughed, "These bastards have touched my treacherous thunder." ”

The Ghost Team led the British soldiers over a mountain, but soon realized that something was wrong. The car overturned just now, and the British guide and a soldier broke their lower leg bones, although it was just an ordinary fracture, but it had already greatly affected the speed of retreat.

And at the most critical time, the bad news came again.

Lieutenant Jack received a briefing from SAS Commander Taylor through the communication channel that the rescue team had temporarily halted its operations due to the unknown enemy situation around Freetown, and as for when it would resume, it would have to wait for the 16th Air Assault Brigade and Sierra Leone government forces to clear the area.

Maybe it's an hour, maybe it's two hours, maybe it's half a day.

"We can't count on SAS anymore." The old fish looked at his watch, the time was already three o'clock in the morning, and it was almost dawn, if he could not feel the dense forest next to the swamp and the mercenaries of Kebby and his men before dawn, the rebels would soon be able to discover the traces of their team, and when the time came, it would be easy to surround the ghost group with the advantage of numbers.

Long Yun had recovered at this time, took out the luminous compass and looked at it, and said: "It's okay, there are only a few kilometers of mountain roads, everyone will stick to it and pass, as long as you meet with Kebby's people, I believe there will be enough time to delay the arrival of SAS." ”

Everyone packed their things, and the British soldiers supported each other and planned to advance in this night when they couldn't see their fingers.

"Lie down!" The crosshair suddenly screamed.

Sneering –

A dull string of gunfire rang out in the distance, and a tongue of fire flashed in the darkness of the jungle.

A cloud of blood erupted from behind a British soldier and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.

"Alan!" Lieutenant Jack lunged over and flipped his men's bodies over.

The soldier named Allen was foaming at the mouth of the blood and screaming intermittently, "It hurts—it hurts—"

The man's wife crawled over, took out scissors from the medical bag and quickly cut the camouflage suit on the mouth, first debrided it with iodophor potion, poured the hemostatic powder, covered it with hemostatic gauze and hemostatic cotton and tied it tightly.

However, it didn't seem to have much effect, and Allen's gaze began to dilate rapidly, and his pupils slowly dilated.

“FCUK！” Jack shook Alan and shouted in a commanding tone, "Don't die!" That's an order! ”

Alan barely managed to squeeze out a smile, nodded, and then tilted his head and lost his breath.

The woman glanced at Jack, shook her head, and climbed to the side, pointing M4A1 in the direction where the shot had come from.

Since it was early in the morning, there was no light in the forest at all, and everyone pulled down the AN/PVS-7 night vision devices on their helmets.

"Boss, why can't I see anyone?" The poet said in the communication channel: "Why did those rebels chase after them so quickly!? ”

There was no figure in the night vision device, the surroundings were terrifyingly quiet, Long Yun could clearly hear his pounding heartbeat, in that darkness, he was sure that someone was lurking, but he didn't know what means were used, so that no one could see them.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, if these people touched it, wouldn't they be able to assassinate themselves and their teammates one by one without realizing it?

Who the hell are these people?

"They're not rebels." Long Yun was very sure: "It's the person on that Mi 171......
