At the moment when Long Yun and others were preparing, the Taliban on the opposite side launched another attack.

If the powerful opponents described from Lieutenant Jack's mouth only existed in words, and there was no intuitive impression, then this charge allowed Long Yun to see the true strength of the other party clearly.

As Lieutenant Jack said, it's not that the U.S. military is too incompetent, it's that the opponent is too tough.

What is even more surprising is that the Taliban troops facing off at Bagram Air Base and the 82nd Airborne Division actually have T-90 tanks, which are the latest Russian-made tanks, and they have never been sold to the outside world, and even the Russian army only began to equip a small amount in 1994.

The fierce battle a few hours ago had exhausted a large number of anti-tank equipment of the 82nd Airborne Division and the 10th Mountain Division, and the only thing that could be relied on was the millimeter smoothbore guns on the three or two Abrams M1A1 tanks placed on the hillside outside the airport, and the depleted uranium armor-piercing shells fired could be used against the new generation of explosive reactive armor mounted on the T-90 tank, and ordinary individual anti-tank weapons could basically only choose to interrupt the tracks of the T-90.

Before launching the charge, the Taliban troops on the opposite side and the guards of the Liberation Society fired a round of rocket artillery attacks at the US military position where Long Yun was located, and the torrential rain of rocket artillery once again showed its shocking power, and half of the entire terminal building collapsed, and more than a dozen wounded who could not retreat to the hangar were buried alive under the rubble.

"The Liberation Society has really paid a lot of money, and the T-90 has been brought to the Taliban, no wonder these guys are willing to work so hard for the Liberation Society." Long Yun shook his buzzing head and said to Gege beside him: "It is estimated that for the sake of these good equipment, the Taliban can be regarded as digging into the family." ”

"Don't you think it's strange?" Gege shook the dust off his head, and his face, which was a little blackened by the smoke of gunpowder, was full of doubts, "What is the significance of Bagram Air Base to the Liberation Society?" Is it worth investing such a large number of troops to fight for this broken airfield? No matter how much the Taliban are invested, it is impossible to equip them to the level of combat effectiveness of the coalition forces, at most they will hold out for an extra day or two, and what is the point of dying so many guards here? ”

Long Yun said: "Little girl, you are a layman when you talk about the military, right?" After all, he has been in the circle of mercenaries for several years, participated in a lot of actual battles, and his use of military tactics is indeed much higher than that of Gege, an elite member of the operations department of the Tianmu Company.

The operations of the Sky Curtain Company are generally miniaturized, and the confrontation with the Liberation Society around the world will not be too big and conspicuous, similar to the spy battlefields that countries only see, and more similar to agents, this time it was the occasion of the meeting that it was involved in the war in Afghanistan, and Gege had no experience in large-scale military operations before this.

"If you take a military map, you can understand why the Liberation Council is so nervous about Bagram Air Base, not only because the strategic location of this airport is important, but if the coalition forces are here, they can set up delivery points, no longer need to take off from the air base in Pakistan, they can set up a forward base here, which shortens the supply line and delivery distance."

He licked his somewhat dry lips, spit out the dust that fell into his mouth, and continued: "And Bagram Air Base is just between Jalalabad and Kabul, the coalition forces launched an attack from the east and west flanks this time, the battlefield in Mazar-i-Sharif in the west, and the Jalalabad direction in the east, and the city of Bamiyan is between Mazar-i-Sharif and Kabul, and the Bagram airbase is just a fortress that enters the city of Bamiyan in the east. If you think about it, Fadi said that the Sleeping Land is near the Bamiyan Buddhas, so they will at least keep the coalition forces out of Bamiyan City at least tomorrow night before the Sleeping Land opens, do you understand this explanation? ”

Gege nodded, tilting his head to look at Long Yun: "I can't see it, you are still an expert in military affairs." ”

"Of course." It was the first time Long Yun heard the iceberg girl boast about herself, and he couldn't help but feel a little complacent, "Who am I?" It's also famous in the African mercenary circle, who doesn't know the prestige of the ghost group? We are a tactical group that never misses. ”

When Gege heard this, if he had changed his usual attitude towards Long Yun, he would have poured cold water on his head a long time ago, but this time he didn't do it, but was silent for a while, and didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, she said slowly: "I'm sorry......"

"I'm sorry what?" Long Yun said.

"When we were in Sierra Leone, things went beyond our expectations, and your teammates ......," Gege said, looking a little apologetic and not going any further.

"Forget it." Long Yun sighed, "As a mercenary, sooner or later, there is such a day, there is no winner in this circle, and the winner is to withdraw early." I was going to disband the group after that mission, and everyone scattered and went back to their hometowns to live a retired life, but I didn't expect ......"

Speaking of this, Long Yun's eyes appeared in front of him again, and the appearance of the old fish, the crosshair, the polar bear, and the duke, seemed to have something stuffed in his throat, and he couldn't speak for a while.

"Don't talk about this, whoever is injured and stained with the blood of my brothers, sooner or later I will have to pay back this debt."

As he spoke, Rhodes ran over and sat down beside Long Yun.

"Captain Long, the radio is ready, I asked someone from the 82nd Airborne Division to get a spare battery."

"What's going on now?" Long Yun held the binoculars and looked at the direction of the T-90 tank, these drivers were obviously not Taliban soldiers, after all, those guys didn't know how to use such an advanced tank.

In the field of vision of the telescope, the outline of the T-90 tank can no longer be seen, and the entire airport is covered with white smoke, which is fired by the smoke bomb launchers on both sides behind the T-90 turret, which can create a smoke wall nearly 100 meters wide, so that the opponent temporarily loses the target of the attack.

"We contacted the front-line command and explained the current situation, and they intend to carry out a fire cover of local positions with cruise missiles." "Soon we'll be able to destroy their rocket launchers, as well as their tank units, so we can launch an assault." ”

Long Yun didn't speak, he always felt that things were not so simple, and the energy of the Restoration Society was so great that these Delta Special Forces soldiers could not imagine.

"I need a separate communication channel, can you set it up for me?" Long Yun took out a pen and paper, wrote down the contact frequency of the command center of the Tianmu Company on it, and handed it to Rhodes.

"It's ......" Rhodes looked at the strange communication channel code, which didn't feel like the exclusive channel of the coalition forces, and looked a little hesitant.

"This is a secret emergency channel of the DOD, which we use for emergencies." Long Yun didn't plan to tell Rhodes the truth, the less he knew about these things, the better, the more people knew about the existence of secret organizations such as Tianmu and the Restoration Society, which was invisibly adding trouble to Professor Christian, and after each operation, the aftermath department of Tianmu always sent a lot of psychological disruptors to erase the memories of those who knew about it.

"You know, now Afghanistan is in a mess, there is only one 160 Special Aviation Regiment in charge of air support, it is estimated that we have to queue up, if I contact the DOD directly, we can directly mobilize our air force in Pakistan for support, which is much more convenient. You know...... Bureaucrats. ”

Rhodes was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, "Yes, Captain Long, I'll set up a channel for you right away." ”

It is not difficult to establish a communication channel, and the communication channels of Tianmu Company are all linked by satellites launched by itself, and do not pass through military satellites, so the secrecy is relatively strong.

It took Rhodes a few minutes to figure it out, and Long Yun heard the voice of the potato chip girl on the radio.
