Chapter 887: A Show of Force
Gao Yang had seen the news many times about what the place closest to hell looked like. In his opinion, Jason's words were a bit exaggerated.
Baghdad is chaotic, but apart from the places where fighting is ongoing, it is no longer a particularly tragic and chaotic place. Gao Yang has been to places like Libya and Syria. In his opinion, Baghdad is the most chaotic place. It's a little too close to hell.
When the plane landed at Baghdad Airport, Gao Yang was sweating profusely as soon as he got off the plane and stepped off the ramp car.
Gao Yang knew that Baghdad was hot, so he didn't feel too uncomfortable with the temperature, especially after experiencing the heat and humidity in the Amazon rainforest, this dry and hot climate was no longer too uncomfortable.
Jason and the people from his company got off the plane in front of Gao Yang, and after they got off the plane, they immediately ran towards the terminal in small steps. However, Gao Yang and the others were still looking around after they set foot at Baghdad Airport.
Jason looked back and saw that Gao Yang and the others were wandering around like tourists. Jason turned around and shouted at Gao Yang: "Leave quickly! Don't be stupid."
Gao Yang, carrying a big bag on his back, said to the people around him: "Go faster, look at them, maybe this airport is not safe."
Frye smiled and said: "Is it that exaggerated? This is an airport..."
There was an explosion that didn't sound close. Gao Yang and the others did not squat down, but they all subconsciously shrank their heads, and then immediately spread out to understand what happened. And look for where the explosion occurred.
At this time Tommy shouted: "107mm rocket launcher!"
Tommy pointed at a plume of smoke. The location of the explosion was quite far away from Gao Yang and the others, probably more than a kilometer away. But it's not very far from the runway.
While Gao Yang and the others were observing what happened at the explosion point, several people who got off the plane behind them laughed and said, "Rookie, your reaction is quite fast, but don't look at it, this is Baghdad Airport, there are rockets every day." and mortar attacks, you get used to it pretty quickly.”
People who know this place well. They didn't pay any attention to the explosion that just happened, and walked past Gao Yang and the others laughing and joking.
After laughing self-deprecatingly. Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's enter the terminal."
Frye, who felt that he had made a fool of himself, said angrily: "Are all the guys in the Iraqi Republican Guard just eating shit? This is Baghdad Airport. How can it be blown up like this?"
A man who was trotting past Frye stopped and stopped.
Looking at Frye, he smiled and said: "So young? A rookie, right? You will soon understand some things here. For example, the soldiers of the Republican Guard are indeed a bunch of losers. In addition, you also have to adapt to the shells that may explode anytime and anywhere. In short, , enjoy it with peace of mind, little one.”
Everyone seemed to enjoy educating newbies. When another group of laughing people passed by, Tommy suddenly stopped. Then he yelled: "60 guns! Lie down!"
Gao Yang also seemed to hear a hint of the chirping sound of mortar shells. Since Tommy asked to lie down, then just lie down. Even if it's just a false alarm, if you lie on the ground and you'll be laughed at, then let them laugh. In short, Satan's principle is that as long as someone warns someone, it must be taken seriously!
Gao Yang and the others immediately fell to the ground again, as expected. Their behavior was ridiculed by everyone around them.
"Haha, look at those rookies...Fake!"
"Fake! Hidden! Hidden!"
Just as the people who were lining up to walk towards the terminal were laughing at the Satanic mercenary group who instantly lay down on the ground with a temperature of at least 60 or 70 degrees in a temperature as high as 40 degrees, the sound of a cannonball was heard in the distance. There was an explosion at most twenty meters away from the crowd, and then a group of people who were laughing fell to the ground in a hurry.
When others were lying down, Tommy shouted loudly: "Run, run!"
Mortars usually have to be fired several times in a row. Tommy was afraid that if he stayed there, he would wait for the calibrated shells, so he quickly asked people to leave the place.
When everyone was lying down one after another, Gao Yang and the others quickly stood up and ran towards the terminal building quickly.
After waiting for another ten seconds and finding that no shells were falling, those who were shocked by the shells falling around them dared to get up from the ground and quickly ran towards the terminal.
After waiting to enter the terminal, which had no air conditioning and not even a few pieces of glass, a black man in short-sleeved shorts jumped up and shouted: "Fake, my legs are blistered! Damn it!" The place, the damn weather.”
At this time, a white man also said with a dissatisfied look: "Those bastards are getting more and more accurate with their shots, Fuck, maybe they will be fooled sooner or later."
Attacks on Baghdad's airport are so commonplace to anyone here that no one makes a fuss over a shell that comes just a little too close to a group of passengers.
Gao Yang didn't remember ever seeing the news that a key location like the Baghdad Airport could be bombarded all day long, so things that others took for granted still seemed a bit uncomfortable to him, because once a place like the airport was bombarded all day long, attack, it means that the country's government is not far away from complete collapse, or has simply collapsed. In Gao Yang's impression, although Iraq has not been stable in recent years, at least the government has controlled it. It’s only right to keep in mind the overall situation.
The terminal is also full of armed guards, and there are also a lot of armed passengers. Here, bulletproof vests have almost become standard equipment. Gao Yang has not noticed that the person is not wearing a bulletproof vest, even if he is a local Iraqi. , also wore bulletproof vests that looked very American.
A completely unfamiliar world. Gao Yang and the others stayed in the terminal for a while, but they never found anyone coming to pick them up.
According to the action guide given by Tomler, it was time for someone to pick him up at this time.
Gao Yang watched Jason and his group gather together and leave the terminal. They were all old people who had been in Iraq for a long time. They had just returned to Iraq from vacation, so Jason and his group all had something to say. Those who laughed did not appear to be disturbed by the situation in Baghdad.
When leaving the terminal, Jason looked back. After seeing Gao Yang, he smiled and waved. Klaus next to him saw Jason's actions and turned around and waved.
Gao Yang smiled and waved goodbye to Jason and Klaus. As veterans, these two people gave him a lot of pointers. Although many of them he already knew, some of them were just learned, for example, Prepare a sign that you can hang on yourself when convenient.
As for whether it is possible to meet the two of them again in the future, Gao Yang doesn't have any hope. This was just a chance encounter. Both parties should have given false names. When they meet again, God knows what the other person's name will be, so even remember There is no need to name the other party.
Seeing Gao Yang saying goodbye to the two of them, Grolev smiled and said: "You are quite serious. You can tell from the looks of these two that they are mercenaries, not security personnel who abide by the rules. Do you still want to expect mercenaries to be the first?" Can I give it to my friend the first time we meet?"
Gao Yang shrugged and said with a smile: "Of course not. I just think that since we had a good conversation, we should naturally smile and separate. I am used to seeing violence and fighting, so I cherish the opportunity to chat happily with strangers. "
While they were joking, Cui Bo suddenly said: "Come on, come on, look at the two people coming in at the door, they should be picking us up, right?"
Gao Yang saw two people holding rifles walking quickly into the terminal. They were not carrying guns on their backs or holding guns like others, but holding their guns in the air. This kind of action could basically only be done. To explain a situation, that is, they had just fired.
A person holding an M4A3 in the sky stretched out his hand to the person next to him. After passing a sign, he raised a gun with one hand and raised the sign with the other.
The letters adkd were written on the sign, and Gao Yang immediately said: "He is the one who will pick us up, let's go."
When Gao Yang said he was leaving, the person holding the sign also saw Gao Yang and the others. There were not many people in the terminal, so the two groups of people walked towards each other, in front of Gao Yang and the person holding the sign. After standing facing each other, the person holding the sign said solemnly: "Honey."
"Honey Badger Team."
"Very well, come with me. I'm sorry, I encountered some problems on the way here and I'm late."
The person holding the sign threw the sign on the ground, turned around and walked out without saying a word.
Gao Yang followed the person holding the sign, and followed two people out of the terminal. As soon as he exited the terminal, the person holding the sign pointed at a row of seven bulletproof vehicles with the Iraqi flag painted on the body. Humvee armored lane: "Get in."
Gao Yang found that next to each Humvee there were two typically dressed people standing with guns in their hands and nervous expressions on their faces, and the top of the first Humvee also had a remote-controlled machine gun on it.
The man holding the sign put down the gun he was holding in the air, and then said urgently: "Get in the car as you please, hurry, hurry, we need to take a detour, we might encounter something, so we have to hurry up."
Gao Yang waved his hand, and the people behind him ran to a Hummer in pairs, while Irene stood next to Gao Yang, waiting to get into the same car with him.
The person who picked up Gao Yang looked at Irene, then at Lucika who was getting on the bus, and suddenly said: "Why are there still women? Remember, let them cover their heads. Okay, you two follow. I’ll get in the car.”
The person who picked up Gao Yang never introduced himself, and Gao Yang didn't ask. He followed him and got into the back seat of a Hummer. Then he saw the person who lent him the money got into the front seat and put the M4A3 in his hand by his leg. Then I picked up an ak47.
Gao Yang couldn't help but said: "You will provide vehicles, right?"
"Yes, I will try my best to provide you with a sufficient number of cars according to your requirements. How about these Hummers?"
Gao Yang did not answer the question, but pointed to the AK47 in the man's hand and said: "We'll talk about the car later. We just want to prepare the AK for our car, and of course there are enough bullets." (To be continued)
