With his own personal feelings, he flew the "Hurricane" and his comrades all the way through the war zone, during which the ECJA fleet briefly encountered the irradiation of the ground warning radar, but probably because the weapons were not high enough, the Combine pilots did not see any missiles rising up, so they continued to the south without danger, and went to intervene in another battle in the southern sky according to the instructions of the early warning platform.

There, the "ghosts", which cannot be detected by radar, are caught in a bitter battle with ALSA at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

The sand and dust are all over it, the sun is shining, the wind-swept land of the Middle East and the sky is still clear, and it seems that two worlds are close to each other, but isolated from each other.

However, even if the dust storm is violent, there will be a time when it will temporarily retreat like a tide.

A fierce system air battle is breaking out above the clouds, and in the dim land dominated by sand and dust, the "Humvee" and "MAN" riding the special operations team are still groping their way in the twilight.

The dust covered by the wind obscures the vision, sometimes it is simply impossible to see the road with the headlights fully on, and sometimes you can vaguely see a horizon in the distance; After a gallop to escape from Sayya, it still feels dangerous and exciting to think about it now, Long Yun's ears are full of gusts of wind whistling, and the dull roar of the engine, he laboriously used a flashlight to look at the map, and then look at the navigation equipment, and determined that there are still more than twenty kilometers away from Mayadin.

From Saya to Mayadin, as long as you blend into this small city, the rest will be easy.

The distance of twenty or thirty kilometers can be completed quickly if you travel in a straight line, but in Syria, where desert terrain is the main one. But not every two towns have a road in good condition. And if you run along the road marked on the map. They will next turn to Deir ez-Zor to the northeast. The eastern stronghold of the Liberal Party was not easily accessible, and Second Lieutenant Imran Alayi, who was in charge of the operation plan, soon decided to leave the road and go all the way to the Guò desert to Meadin.

Marking the location on the map, the intelligence agent called the following "MAN" to follow the car in front of him to avoid getting lost, and two dusty off-road vehicles roared down the roadbed, disappearing in a large cloud of dust that covered the sky.

Traveling along the highway just now, Long Yun and the others didn't see a few oncoming vehicles along the way, obviously no one wanted to drive on the road in this bad weather.

When the wind and sand are blowing in the sky, the raging wind is amazing. Sometimes it can derail an entire train, not to mention a thin car; However, it is clear that today's large-scale dust storm is relatively mild, along the way there is a thrilling crossing of a large area of gravel, very tires of no man's land, two off-road vehicles difficult to approach the suburbs of Meadin in southeastern Syria, but now the visibility in the line of sight is still very poor, Long Yun raised his hand to look at the electronic watch with a backlight, the time is already in the afternoon.

According to the previous plan, once they reached Meadin on the west bank of the Tigris River, the next step was to go south with the help of the new Iraqi party offensive. Once again, they crossed the battlefield full of gunsmoke and tried to join up with the New Party forces attacking from the east.

This kind of plan. Before the war, of course, there was some certainty, but as the two SUVs approached the Meadin and Tongguò highway checkpoints, the Freedom Party soldiers, speaking the Syrian dialect, chattered to Saeed that they should not drive to Meadin now, but should go all the way south to find General Omar, because "the Iraqis attacked in a ghost weather":

"Hey, yes! Now that there is a fight in front of you, if you want to find a general, you have to hurry up and go to the city of Ashara! ”

"Oh! - Understood, let's go! ”

Hearing by accident that General Omar was actually near Mayadin, Imran Alayi yelled at the interrogating soldiers in a thick voice, and then closed the bulletproof window, he completely disguised the rude habits of the Liberals, patted the shoulder of the comrade next to him, Saeed slammed the accelerator, and the wide "Humvee" roared and raised a cloud of smoke, bypassing the barricade and continuing to drive east.

The so-called "search for Mr. Omar" was originally just a pretext, and the intelligence officers certainly didn't care where this guy was now, anyway, they just had to infiltrate the occupied territory and send NATA pilots near the border.

However, according to the information just obtained, since the New Iraqi Party has launched an offensive, perhaps the area around Ashara has now become a battlefield, and looking at the situation in the Tigris River Valley, the raging process of the sandstorm is obviously lighter.

"--What is that, second lieutenant?"

While thinking about countermeasures, Said, who was concentrating on driving next to him, seemed to hear some kind of movement, he looked out of the front window of the "Humvee", did not notice anything unusual for a while, and then glanced through the side window:

The sky has been dragging black smoke down, what is it?

Looking up at the sky in the dusty weather, there was only a line of black remnants under the cover of a light yellow hue, and in front of him was a falling object that was getting closer and larger, but Imran Alayi in the passenger seat could not see it because of the perspective, he only heard a dull roar of hunting because of the reminder of his subordinates, a sound he had never heard before, and it sounded like a giant blower approaching rapidly.

Just a second or two later, the second lieutenant saw a black mass suddenly flash in the wilderness beside the road, which then touched the ground and burst open; The flash of the explosion, and the shock that followed, almost made one mistake for a bomb falling nearby, but it didn't quite look like it, and he was stunned for a moment before he thought of what it could be.

A fallen fighter plane, looking at the formation that crashed into the ground just now, probably can only be like this, right?

Riding on the highway in a car, but witnessing a fighter plane crashing nearby, this kind of scene will naturally make people feel a little afraid; In the "MAN" off-road vehicle following the "Humvee", Long Yun and Salahardin also witnessed this scene, and the soldier driving the car looked at him in surprise and turned his head to make a surprised expression.

Obviously, even on the battlefield, the experience of a plane falling overhead is very unusual, which also makes Long Yun directly realize that there is a fierce sky battle above the dust storm that covers the earth, and he subconsciously saw a trace of afterimage just now, it seems to be the YF-23 "ghost" he encountered before - that is, the FSA fighter is right, in this bad weather is still fighting fiercely, as a pilot, Long Yun can't help but wonder, who will be the sky warriors who are fighting against the rebels at this moment, Could it be a group of comrades-in-arms at NATA?

This kind of speculation, and the idea of beckoning Salahardin to drive down the road to the crash site to see what was going on, only flashed in Long Yun's mind for a moment, and he knew that he couldn't care about these things now.

Now that the group has penetrated deep into the Liberal-controlled districts and is close to the front lines of the fighting, it can be said that there is danger lurking around all the time, and the simple-minded rebel sentries may be easy to deceive, but staying here all the time will only increase the risk; With such an awareness, the two off-road vehicles tacitly ignored the "ghost" fighter plane that fell nearby, but increased their horsepower and drove away from the scene all the way.

Bumpy on the rugged road, as for whether more fighters will fall all the way down in the future, or even coincidentally fall on the road, the probability of this situation is actually negligible, and the special combat personnel who cross the battle line will naturally not bother with this leisure. As the car drove all the way forward, the surrounding landscape gradually underwent some changes, and the slightly undulating riverside area also appeared patches of yellowed vegetation, and the small town of Meadin hidden behind the dust in the distance was soon in sight.

The closer you get to Meadin, the more dilapidated houses you see on both sides of the road, and the more people hurrying by the roadside wrapped in robes and turbans, many of them wearing only a pair of sandals and walking barefoot in the dust of the cold wind, without looking at the speeding cars on the road.

Having just driven away from the sea of dust storms, in this area where the wind was not strong and the sand and dust disasters were still okay, perhaps it was the first time he had witnessed civilian activities since embarking on a journey through the line of fire, Long Yun's tension was temporarily relaxed.

But even so, seeing the charred black houses that come into view from time to time, or even the bodies of civilians lying on the side of the road without knowing whether they are alive or dead, made him subconsciously feel a little depressed, and there is naturally an element of conscious snooping, which makes him inadvertently capture a trace of the thinking activities of Syrian civilians.

Obviously, even in Meadin, on the banks of the Tigris River, where the natural environment is acceptable, the life of civilians is still dangerous and full of hardships.

As the car approached the city, the faint sound of artillery from the sky became clear little by little, Long Yun dropped the window to hear where the cannon sound came from, but was stopped by Salahardin next to him raising his hand:

"Mr. 'Red Dragon'! Don't just open the window. ”

Silenced by the roaring engines, Salahardin sternly reminded Long Yun that they were now swaggering through the city in Liberal uniforms and buggies painted on the rebels, which meant that the action group would be targeted by local resistance groups and even civilians in general.

If you don't open the window all the way, you can't be sure that a few warheads or an improvised bomb or something like that will come in through the window at any point, and that would be a real problem.

Long Yun really didn't expect this section to remind the soldiers, he nodded a little scared, and then asked Salahardin what is the situation of civilians in the Syrian rebel-controlled area, and whether the resistance here is as active as guerrilla activities in the Middle East in history.
