Chapter 522: Lure the Snake Out of Its Hole

"Look at this old man, isn't he very wrong?"

Yuanzheng adjusted the camera angle and controlled the drone to descend, then he pointed at an old man on the screen who was pushing a rickshaw and said, "Look at him."

It was a two-wheeled cart, the entire body of the cart was a large square cargo box, and it was different from the carts selling goods on the roadside. This cart did not have a glass cabinet, but there was a huge parasol at one end. Under the parasol, an old man was pushing the cart slowly forward.

Francisco said without hesitation: "What's wrong with this? People who sell pancakes are all like this, what's wrong with it?"

John said angrily: "Stupid! You have been in Baghdad for so long, have you ever seen anyone selling pancakes at this time? The temperature outside is 46 degrees now!"

Francisco was stunned for a while and said: "I haven't noticed it... But the vendors have to go out no matter how hot it is to survive."

"They will go out in the afternoon when it is not so hot. They sell things for a living, not to die."

Yuanzheng ignored the argument between John and Francisco. He just pointed at the screen and said to Gao Guang: "Look, this person, does he look like he is pushing a cart of bombs!"

Everyone was stunned, and after looking at everyone, Yuanzheng continued: "There is a pancake shop across the street, and there is also a pancake shop on the other side. In any case, this pancake seller can't push the cart here. Even if he delivers to the restaurant, there is no reason to come here."

On the screen, the old man is still pushing the cart, still moving slowly.

Flatbread is not the only staple food of Iraqis, but it is indeed an important staple food. There are flatbreads similar to naan and simple white flatbreads, but the ones that can be sold on a cart are basically baked flatbreads like naan.

There is nothing wrong with a vendor selling flatbreads on a cart along the street, but it is definitely wrong to come out and sell a cart full of flatbreads at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time.

But judging from his clothes, his appearance, and his movements and demeanor, he is indeed an old man selling flatbreads.

While Gao Guang was continuing to observe, Yuan Zheng said anxiously: "Don't you see what's wrong? Fuck! Look at this old man, have you ever seen an old man selling flatbreads on the street pushing a cart like this?"

In fact, there was nothing wrong with it, but after Yuan Zheng said this, several people took a closer look, and Gao Guang saw what was wrong.

The old man seemed unskilled in pushing the cart, and he was pushing a cart that should be driven with skill with great strength, just like a person who had never done farm work. If he was given a hoe, he would definitely be able to dig the ground, but when compared with farmers who had worked all year round, the difference was immediately apparent.

In two words, awkward.

Mike suddenly said, "Don't guess, just try and you'll know."

Gao Guang looked at Mike, and Mike said angrily, "I'll buy him a cake!"

"Good idea."

The senior official looked at David in astonishment, but David said calmly, "I'll buy him a cake."

"Okay."

Gao Guang waved his hand and said, "Mike, Francisco, you two take your shields, follow David, and go buy cakes."

David limped forward with his gun on his shoulder, while Mike picked up a transparent shield leaning against the wall and followed him, while Francisco followed with a heavy bulletproof shield.

This safe house is in the old city, with a small courtyard, but it is surrounded by houses, so it looks more like a patio.

There are two-story buildings nearby, but the safe house looks like two floors from the outside, but it is actually only one floor. The extra half floor on top is the roof with enhanced protection as a camouflage.

The whole building is basically in the shape of a U-shaped character, and the fully enclosed corridor is also winding and twisting, not like a maze, but the longest straight line of the entire corridor is less than five meters. The safe house is designed to prevent being rushed to the bottom by the blast wave, which is also the basic configuration of the safe house.

David grabbed the handle of the iron door and pushed it open suddenly, then he said to the old man who was pushing a cart on the street: "Hey, come here, I want to buy cakes."

Although it is the old city, the road is still quite wide. Now the person pushing the cart has passed the position opposite the gate. When David shouted to the old man selling cakes, the distance was about thirty or forty meters.

David's move was very risky. If someone shot at him, he would not be able to hide without any protection.

The old man pushing the cart stopped because there were really few people outside at this time and David's voice was very loud. He wanted to pretend that he couldn't hear it, but he felt it was too fake.

He stopped, and then the old man selling cakes suddenly whispered before turning back: "They shouted that I want to buy cakes!"

His tone was full of surprise and disbelief, but the old man selling cakes still turned around and looked at David.

David stretched out his right hand and waved, and shouted again: "Come here, we want to buy cakes."

David used Arabic, and there was no reason why the old man couldn't understand.

The atmosphere seemed to be a little stalemate. The old man selling cakes looked at David, then he pushed the cart, turned around and started walking over here.

David didn't turn around, he just whispered: "If this old man comes over, detain him and search his car carefully. If he doesn't dare to come over, then..."

The old man was still pushing the cart forward, but less than five meters away from Gao Guang and the others, he suddenly shrank and hid behind the cart.

David drew back without hesitation and said, "There is indeed a problem."

The drone could clearly see that the old man selling cakes shrank behind the car, then bent over and ran away at an extremely fast speed, definitely not a speed that a poor Iraqi could run at.

David huddled behind the shield, and the door opened inwards. Mike pushed the door and slammed it shut, ensuring that even the gunmen lurking outside could not see them.

Now the situation is a bit awkward. Should we fight, withdraw, or wait?

Fortunately, there are drones outside that continue to provide visibility.

Yuanzheng said loudly: "He turned a corner, and I didn't see anyone to pick him up. He wants me to rely on him!"

The image suddenly began to rotate rapidly, making people dizzy when watching the monitor screen, until the drone crashed to the ground. The camera was not broken, but it was pointed at the ground and could not be moved, nor could it be controlled remotely, so only the gray-black ground could be seen.

Several people were shocked.

"Gunshot!"

"Someone shot down a drone!"

A group of people looked at each other. Of course, the drone can be shot down, but if the drone is shot down without warning, it would be very scary.

In order to observe carefully, the height of the drone is only a hundred meters at most, but being able to shoot down a drone at a height of 100 meters with one shot is an amazing marksmanship.

what to do?

Gao Guang's mind was in turmoil. Should he rush out now, or should he stay here?

Yuanzheng said anxiously: "I'll fly another drone!"

David said to the high light: "The sniper is all around us, and we don't know where it is."

"Our position has been exposed." Gao Guang took a breath, and then he said very irritably: "Now judge the situation. We have exposed our position, but we have not been attacked so far. Does this mean that the enemy's main force has not yet been attacked?" Here we are, the group of people who just got off the plane at Kuwait Airport.”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for others to speak, Gao Guang waved his hand violently and said, "No, this is not the style of Morris' men. If they were still the same group of people he met in Ethiopia, they would not be so delicate, and they would not kill them with one shot. Drone level.”

Yuanzheng said from the side without raising his head: "Build the plank road in the open and secretly visit Chencang, we are surrounded!"

David said anxiously: "No, if we were surrounded, why did the enemy not attack but conduct reconnaissance? Understand that the act of reconnaissance means that the enemy is not ready yet. If we want to withdraw, then hurry up now withdraw!"

Patrick remained silent, but now, he finally said: "I think it is more accurate to use a breakout now."

A safe house cannot have only one door, and a safe house with only one door is unqualified.

The front door was discovered, but the secret door leading to the alley in the back should not have been discovered. This door has not been opened since the safe house was built.

There are also two secret doors. The one on the west leads to the house next door. In fact, the next door was also bought by the CIA. After buying it, it has always been vacant. Occasionally, the owner of the house will come back to live and tidy up.

There is also a secret door to the east, where a CIA informant's family lives, but the informant's family doesn't know that their next door is a CIA safe house.

If you want to run, there are many doors, but the question is whether the enemy will surround the house if the location is exposed.

According to common sense, when launching an attack on an old house in the old city of Baghdad, anyone with a little bit of brains would know to surround the house first.

If the knight mercenary group really came, they couldn't just guard the main entrance.

It's a tangled situation that tests IQ, experience, and luck. If Gaoguang and the others have strong foreign aid, then the situation is not too bad and they can just stick to it and wait for help. But if they really want to break through, it will be very troublesome.

You should give it a try, but it would be fatal to try. It is impossible to push a shield when breaking out. Even if you have heavy armor, as long as there is a heavy machine gun blocking the road, everyone will die if you go out.

Now it depends on the expedition vision.

Gao Guang said anxiously: "Expedition, what's going on outside!"

The expedition's new drone was released, and it went straight up from the patio at the fastest speed. I didn't believe that the enemy could still shoot it down.

"That's not good."

Yuan Zheng's tone was very anxious. He held the tablet and said, "Look! This is a machine gun pickup truck!"

A pickup truck drove up on the main street where the main entrance was. There was a heavy machine gun in the back of the pickup truck. It didn't go near the safe house, but stopped directly on the road outside.

The enemy had already set up a machine gun at the front door. John whispered: "Go through the back door, there is still a chance now!"

"do not move."

Gao Guang immediately rejected John's idea and said: "There can't be only one door in the safe house. This should be common sense. I don't believe that the Knight Mercenary Group doesn't know, so why does it look like there is no one behind it? Did they let us go out through the back door on purpose? , so that they can catch them all in one go?”

After finishing speaking, Gao Guang said with a solemn face: "First send someone to show off the trap to attract our attention, and then use a heavy machine gun to seal the front door. Why do I feel that this is luring the snake out of its hole? Yes, this is luring the snake out of its hole!"
