Volume 20 Chapter 15 Arrival

In response to Ling's question, Zhao Jie directly answered: "It is a joint station there. In addition to our [Chinese] company, there are more than 200 British and German personnel. Even if they have to protect the more than 100 peacekeeping troops, If you protect the people of your own country first, how can you care about us? Even if the two sides unite and go together, they will definitely give priority to taking care of their own people. Moreover, even if the personnel of the three countries are brought together, there will be more civilians than soldiers. In such a situation There is no way they can break through normally."

As if fearing that Ling would not understand, an officer next to him added: "If they stay there and defend, they can ensure that the casualties will not be too serious, but if they enter the jungle, without armed personnel three times as many as civilians, there is no way to guarantee Safe transfer. In addition, the previous introduction by Brigadier General Zhao Jie may not be very detailed. This peacekeeping force is actually not a complete combat force. The British team is actually an armed transport team. Although they have two tanks, the remaining The one they had was just three light armored vehicles and a bunch of trucks. The German one was even worse, it was actually a security force consisting of a [police] force.”

Peacekeeping forces are joint law enforcement teams sent by multiple countries to countries at war. Although they also have powerful arms, most of them are not main battle forces. After all, peacekeeping forces mainly focus on intimidation and are not intended to collide head-on with local armed forces. Therefore, The main force is basically useless there, but the police force that maintains law and order is more useful. This German peacekeeping force is the police force. Although their equipment is much better than that of the locals, if you use them as regular troops, you will be looking down upon them too much.

After the officer finished explaining, Scott suddenly asked: "Since our country sent us to rescue people, what about Britain and Germany? Did their people ignore them?"

Zhao Jie explained: "Of course they have to take care of it, but the problem now is that this is a nationwide incident, and we, the international forces' local personnel, are not the only ones here, so everyone is very busy now. In the end, someone was arrested Countries that are in trouble discuss cooperation. For example, this garrison is assigned to our country. There may be [Chinese] people in other garrison areas, but other countries send people to rescue them and wait for the people to be transported to their respective countries. Countries will then transfer the rescued personnel to each other, which can save the military strength of each country and facilitate centralized management."

It's true when I think about it. Peacekeeping forces are multinational forces. Even if there are still coordination problems between domestic forces, it is even more difficult for multinational forces to mention it. A messy command system will only reduce everyone's efficiency. Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic for everyone to divide their forces to form a joint force to rescue one by one. It is better to separate the teams and each country is responsible for several points, which is easier to manage. After all the people have been rescued in their own country, everyone can exchange the rescued people. This is the safest way.

"Since this place is under our control, that means we have to save not more than a hundred people, but more than three hundred?" I looked at Zhao Jie and asked.

Zhao Jie nodded and said: "There are indeed more than 300 people in our country including the British and German people, but the number we need to rescue should not be that many."

"Ah? Why? Is there someone who won't leave?"

"It's like this." Another officer explained: "The news sent back by the special forces after they arrived said that half of the British company's office building was destroyed by artillery shells in the previous battle, causing a lot of casualties. There may not even be fifty people in British companies now.”

"Damn, they are really unlucky."

"In fact, we are not much better than the Huans.

"Zhao Jie said: "Several employees of our company also died, all killed by stray bullets. You know that civilians without any training on the battlefield are too easily injured! "

I nodded and said, "Then what is our action plan? Should we enter the camp directly now or wait until night? Or we can do the other way around."

"Huh? The other way around? Why the other way around?"

Yeyue said directly: "Isn't this simple? We are the defender now, and in turn we are the attacker."

"The attacker?"

Yeyue nodded and said: "Yes, we don't go to rescue the hostages, we just find the nearby armed forces and kill them all. Then won't the hostages be able to evacuate as they please?"

"this……"

If someone had said this to Zhao Jie before, he would probably deny it without even thinking about it, but after seeing our combat effectiveness last night, he hesitated. To ordinary troops, our plan would be a fantasy. Even if their number of personnel were two or three times larger, he would never do it. However, now he is moved. However, Zhao Jie was just moved. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "It's better not to do it. Let's enter the garrison first and meet up with the trapped people, and then wait until the situation inside the garrison is clarified. Anyway, you are here, even if there is another ** If the army attacks, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

Upon hearing this, Xiaochun immediately said: "Of course, we will never let the other party take advantage of it."

After confirming the plan... we began to speed towards the camp. Because it was daytime, and the forest near the camp had been cut down a lot by the locals, the visibility was very high. Through satellite observations, we have basically determined the safety of the nearby area.

Since there were no enemies nearby, we did not need to march cautiously. The whole team accelerated forward and saw the gathering place in less than two hours.

To be honest, before we got here, we were still thinking about what this kind of three-party gathering place would look like. Unexpectedly, when we arrived, we found that this place was built like a fortress. The entire base is surrounded by a reinforced concrete wall more than four meters high. The bottom of the wall has a slope with an inclination of about 70 degrees and a height of one meter and two meters. This thing can effectively prevent high-horsepower vehicles such as tanks from directly crashing into the wall. Come inside.

There is a ring of wire at the top of the wall, which looks almost like a prison. Behind the wire are guard towers spaced five meters apart. Each tower has two heavy machine guns and at least four armed guards at the top. There is no need to look at the buildings inside the wall. Just for the outer wall, those Japanese troops who only have submachine guns and rocket launchers will have to pay at least hundreds of casualties if they want to rush in. Most of the local armed forces have less than a thousand people. If three to five hundred people in such an armed force die, it will be useless even if they attack. After all, no one will need weapons if all the people are dead.

Since there were guards on duty in the watch tower on top of the wall, we attracted the attention of the guards as soon as we appeared at the end of the road, and a few seconds later there was a warm cheer in the gathering place over there.

Although our personnel and armored vehicles do not carry any identification marks, as long as they see this brand-new wheeled armored vehicle, they will know that it is a rescue force. After all, there are very few tanks or armored vehicles among the local armed forces. Secondly, their tanks and armored vehicles are all junk. They are either old goods that have been eliminated by various countries or monsters that are randomly put together from parts that don’t know where they come from. Anyway, they are like other big countries. There is definitely no such neat and beautiful armored vehicle equipped here, and once it appears, it will definitely be a rescue force from outside.

Following the report from the sentry tower, people in the gathering place quickly gathered at the windows of the tallest building in the center of the gathering place and looked over. In their eyes, our team They also gradually approached the gathering place.

As we approached the gathering place, some locals appeared on both sides of the road. Although I know that there must be people from the local armed forces lurking among these people. But because they didn't have weapons, I didn't know who was who. As for killing all these people, that is even more impossible. In the previous village, it could be called accidental damage, but if we do it here, it will be an obvious massacre. It would be okay if it was just a group of us. The key is that there are foreigners, reporters and a large number of civilians there. It is not a happy thing to cause a scandal in a place like this.

Under the eyes of the local people with envy, jealousy, hatred, fear and other responsible emotions, our team finally arrived at the gate of the garrison safely. What surprised us was that there were three lifting anti-tank barricades at the gate of this place.

This thing is usually kept underground and can be raised when needed. The top of them is a metal pillar, which works like a jack. When needed, it can lift tanks and forced-intrusion vehicles off the ground, making them incapacitated. Usually only very important military facilities or government units install such things, but I didn't expect it to be found here.

Except for anti-tank roadblocks. There is also a steel alarm door located on a metal track at the gate. This alarm door is twenty centimeters thick and can be opened or closed to both sides along the track. In addition to being attacked at close range by tank guns, even ordinary rockets probably can't do anything to this door, right?

When the gate opened, we were nervously welcomed into the courtyard wall by the guard at the gate. It was not until the gate closed again behind us that the civilians in the building poured out of the building to welcome us.

"Hello. I am the current person in charge here, Lieutenant Colonel John Joyce of the British Army. You can call me John." Because I was wearing armor that looked quite weird to normal eyes, Lieutenant Colonel John finally called Zhao Jie Dang became the top leader of this team. Of course, he was actually directing this mission, I was just here to help. As long as he doesn't make excessive demands, I will usually listen to his arrangements.

Since military ranks are common among major countries in the world, after Zhao Hao arrived, he became the top person in charge here, and John became his deputy. Although there are a bunch of lieutenant colonels and several colonels among the people who came here this time besides Zhao Jie, he is the supreme commander of the British side after all. It is naturally more convenient for him to command other troops himself, so we can only provide guidance. Xing command, it is impossible to take over all other people's troops.

After the introduction in the UK, an officer from Germany also came to report to us that this guy was just a major with a lower military rank, and he was not from the regular army. Even this military rank was due to the special nature of the peacekeeping force. Given the situation temporarily. His real title should be senior police inspector. After all, all his subordinates are armed police officers rather than regular troops.

The military chiefs of the two countries greeted Zhao Jie and quickly took Zhao Jie and the others to the conference room to discuss the current situation. The armored vehicle we brought quickly opened the hatch and unloaded boxes of medicine. Several military doctors also came out. After contacting the special forces sent earlier, we quickly found the wounded through them. for processing.

Although the original small clinic here has a lot of [drugs], they are basically common [drugs], which are not very helpful for situations such as trauma. Of course, there must be first-aid trauma medicine and bandages and gauze, but the reserves must not be too much. The previous station was shelled and there were many casualties, so these things have long been insufficient. It is precisely because of this that our team brought a lot of medicine and several better army doctors.

Seeing those people getting busy, a British captain suddenly appeared in front of us. After looking us up and down suspiciously, he asked: "What branch of the military are you in? What is your military rank?"

Hearing this guy's question, I pushed up my helmet visor directly, and then said: "We are a special force. You can think of us as special forces. My military rank is brigadier general, and these few here are colonels. They are all Lieutenant Colonel.”

"Hiss" When he heard this military rank, the captain took a sharp breath of air in shock, and then he remembered to stand at attention and salute hurriedly. Although we are not part of the same country, everyone's military ranks are recognized by each other, so under normal circumstances, when he sees us, he has to salute in the same way as he does when he sees his own officer. Originally, he probably guessed that we were some kind of special combat unit after seeing our weird looks, and the rank of the general frontline combat units was not too high. According to his estimation, the top commander in our small group is probably just a major, and the others may be captains, lieutenants, and the like. Unexpectedly, after asking, he found out that there was actually a brigadier general and a bunch of colonels and lieutenant colonels. Even the lowest-ranking person here had a higher rank than the chief officer he originally thought.

After returning the gift, I asked in as gentle a tone as possible: "What did you want to see us for just now?"

The man didn't suddenly react until this moment and said: "Report to the general, the garrison was bombarded last night, a dormitory building collapsed, and many people were buried. We worked with the civilians to clean up all night, and now many people I have no energy left, so I hope you can go over and help.”

Of course we won't refuse something like rescuing people. That's what we came here to do anyway. Moreover, unlike these people, we have an advantage in saving people. At least we have the ability to see through, so we can directly determine whether there are any living people in the ruins. If there are, we can also carry out targeted excavation, which is much more efficient than their large area of ​​​​clearing the ruins.

"Lead the way, Captain, isn't that what we're here to do?"! .
