Chapter 19: Plans change

After some conversation, Long Yun learned that these British soldiers were captured by a branch of the rebel army called the "Western Boys".

The British paratroopers captured Sankoh, the leader of the largest rebel group, the Allied Front, in Freetown, and Kamara, as his younger brother, was of course dissatisfied, and although Sanko was forced to sit down at the negotiating table to sign a cease-fire agreement, Camara kept threatening to give the British army "a little color".

The day before, Lieutenant Jack and two of his men, seven soldiers of the Royal Irish Regiment and a local guide were patrolling near the towns near Masyaka and Farodougou, about 72 kilometers east of Freetown, when they fell into the trap of the "Western Boys" and were surrounded by more than 200 rebels.

That's why the rebels have three Land Rover patrol vehicles in their hands.

After hearing what happened to Lieutenant Jack, the poet sneered without being salty: "Sure enough, it's a royal army, and life is really valuable." ”

In the poet's view, being a soldier should be ready to sacrifice at any time, and if the battle is not fought, people will raise their hands to surrender, which is really detrimental to the dignity of soldiers; On the other hand, it implies that the reason why the rebels captured these British was nothing more than to exchange Sankoh as a bargaining chip. This kind of thing is not without precedent, and in 93 the US military operation "Irene" in Somalia ended up withdrawing troops in exchange for the bodies of a wounded pilot and two Delta soldiers, and these British prisoners would not be at peace at 10 Downing Street in London if they appeared on television.

The poet is a German, and the Germans and the British are a pair of old enemies in Europe, not to mention that the poet served in the Wehrmacht, in the eyes of this tough German, many British soldiers are like unweaned children, crying at every turn and going back to their mother's arms to drink milk.

Jack, of course, could hear the sarcasm in the poet's words, and his face turned even redder.

At this moment, there was a sound of ropes in the grass on the side of the road, and everyone's guns immediately pointed at the place where the sound was made.

"It's me! Old fish! The familiar voice came, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The old fish, the duke, and the polar bear who had gone out to reconnoiter around the rebel camp finally got a thorough understanding of the camp.

Seeing Jack, Lao Yu also looked very surprised, and after knowing that it was a British soldier, he smiled again and asked politely: "Lieutenant Jack, are there still 8 of you who are locked up in the camp?" ”

Jack saw that Lao Yu had just come back, and he didn't mention how many people had been arrested at all, but he knew, and said with a surprised face: "That's right, there are 11 of us in total, your companion Mr. Long saved three of us, and 8 were caught." ”

Lao Yu said to Long Yun: "I know where the hostages are held, now the question is, do you want to save them?" With that, he glanced at Long Yun twice.

"Where!?" Jack asked with concern.

The old fish patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, they are okay for the time being, it is estimated that in Kamara's eyes, you who are alive are much more valuable than a corpse, they are just locked up in a tent in the camp, there are guards, it is not a big deal." ”

Seeing that Lao Yu's expression was quite meaningful, Long Yun pulled him aside and whispered, "You mean, we help them rescue the hostages by the way?" ”

Lao Yu nodded and said, "This business is cost-effective, so that the British can also be involved." ”

Long Yu suddenly realized that if the ghost team rescued the British soldiers, then the British paratroopers and the Sierra Leone government army would certainly not stand idly by, because even if the ghost team did not take action, I am afraid that the SAS special forces would also act, rather than let the British act on their own, it would be better to involve them, so that there would obviously be a great chance of victory against the three thousand rebels.

Jack saw Long Yun and Lao Yu muttering on the side, thinking that they didn't want to provoke the large number of rebels and didn't plan to meddle with their own affairs, as a soldier, he felt that this was an insult.

β€œMR。 Dragon, if you don't want to help, we can save our companions ourselves, and you don't have to bother. ”

"What a big breath! Why did you go earlier? The poet couldn't help but laugh beside him: "But, of course, this is okay, first call the big troops, and then let your American allies' aircraft carriers at sea also participate in the support, and then inform your Royal Air Force to send some planes and the like, of course it is trivial to repair this rebel!" ”

Even if Jack is a gentleman, he can't stand the poet's banter at this time, and his eyes are about to erupt with fire. The lieutenant of the British Royal Army, who was upright, was actually sneered at by a group of mercenaries called "death brokers", and if these mercenaries hadn't saved him, they would have pounced on him and fought a lot.

Seeing that Jack's face was not good, Long Yun said roundly: "Lieutenant Jack, I discussed it with the captain and decided to help you rescue your comrades tonight." ”

"Really!?" Jack couldn't believe what he heard, and his eyes widened, "Are you really willing to help me rescue my comrades?" ”

β€œWhydonβ€˜tοΌŸβ€ The old fish stall spread his hands: "Anyway, we have to raid their camp, and saving people is just a matter of taking sheep." ”

Jack looked around and found that there were only 8 of them, and his expression immediately hesitated: "But ......"

The poet saw the stitch and made a mistake with Jack: "What? Look down on 8 of us? Are you amazing? Why was he captured without firing a shot? Hey! ”

Jack's face suddenly turned into rotten tomatoes, and he was about to have a seizure, when a veteran of the Irish regiment next to him pulled Jack and whispered in his ear: "This team seems to be a ghost team......

"Ghost group?" Jack was taken aback, this ghostly tactical sub-group was the only mercenary squad left in Sierra Leone by Magnum, but after Magnum was forced to withdraw from the Sierra Leone civil war, this squad remained, and remained invincible without rear support.

At this moment, he finally understood why the poet was sneering at himself, the United States and Britain, as the main countries that put pressure on the Sierra Leonean government, became the protagonist of the drama of getting Magnum to withdraw from Sierra Leone, and as the contractor of Magnum Company, the people of the ghost team certainly did not have a good impression of the British army.

Knowing Long Yun's identity, Jack was surprised and delighted. Soldiers are animals that worship the strong, and the long-known Ghost Cell is a legend among the national forces stationed in Sierra Leone, and even regular professional soldiers have to be in awe of them.

"Can you help...... It's just wonderful. Lieutenant Jack said embarrassedly.

Lao Yu looked at his watch, it was already 1 o'clock in the morning, he threw a satellite phone to Jack: "Hurry up and contact your headquarters, if you rescue your companions, I'm afraid we will have to evacuate on foot, and I also need your support." ”

Jack took the satellite phone, and suddenly heard the sound of the motorcycle engine coming from the distance on the road, Long Yun's face turned to the side, and he patted his head and scolded: "**! We've lost too much time! Someone's coming! ”

Everyone quickly dragged the body to the side of the road, where they all lay in the grass.

The old fish commanded in a low voice: "Deal with them, be quick!" ”

A military three-wheeled motorcycle with a bucket staggered, and when I saw a truck parked on the side of the road, two rebels jumped off the motorcycle, approached the cab with their guns, and found that there was no one inside, and then walked around the car, but still no one was seen.

"No one!" The rebel soldiers spread their hands and shouted at the people on the motorcycles, "What's the matter!?" Everybody's gone! ”

One of the rebels seemed to see some red liquid on the ground, squatted down and touched it, and it turned out to be slimy blood!

He was about to stand up and greet his companions, but it was too late, and several black shadows suddenly stood up on the side of the road, the fire flickered, and low gunshots rang out, and almost at the same time, the two rebels who got out of the car to check on the situation and the soldiers who were driving all had their heads blooming.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Jack watched this scene in the grass, and his heart was shocked. Being able to do it like a heart, the three of them shot at the same time, with an interval of less than a second, and all hit the head, this alone was not much better than the SAS members he had seen, and Lieutenant Jack, who was the elite of the Pathfinder Platoon, felt his face hot.

"Quick! Take off all these people's clothes! Long Yun ordered everyone: "Duke, you change into the clothes of the rebels and blend in with me." ”

Except for the old fish, everyone was taken aback, in this situation, is the emotional Long Yun going to enter the wolf's den alone? It's a risky move!

The old fish walked up to Jack with a grin and pointed to his clothes: "Mr. Lieutenant, you have to take it off too!" ”

Jack's face turned green, and he was stunned: "I want it too?" ”

The old fish still had that relaxed expression: "That's right, take it off quickly!" ”
