Chapter 517 Revenge

When Chen Chen led the team to the Annale Hotel, the hotel had been completely blown into ruins.

There was no need to fight, and even no need to rescue.

The entire 7-story hotel building collapsed completely, and the windows of hundreds of meters around were all shattered. The shock wave even blew the vehicles parked near the hotel several meters away.

The power of the explosion was completely beyond Chen Chen's expectations, and on the other hand, it also proved that the security forces of this city had been ridiculously weak.

Looking at the devastated scene, Chen Chen, who had just won a great victory, lost his excitement. He took a deep breath and asked Su Haier:

"The power of this explosion is at least hundreds of kilograms of TNT."

"There are so many explosives hidden in the Annar Hotel, and you didn't notice anything?"

"I remember you told me that you have organized police forces to conduct preliminary investigations."

"And your investigation didn't even find such a large-scale explosive?!"

Hearing Chen Chen's question, Su Haier nodded silently, and replied after a long time:

"This is our fault."

"But we have already screened for explosives, and we have never found large quantities of explosives here."

"The screening you mentioned , what category do you mean?"

".TNT, nitroglycerin, black powder"

"What about nitrides?"

"I haven't checked it."

Chen Chen sighed helplessly and continued:

"Don't you know that fertilizers can also be made into explosives? Obviously, this is the source of ammunition for those gas tank cannons."

"It's in Syria, in Tabqa, and you actually ignored this obvious clue."

"This is no longer a simple carelessness--if you continue to deal with JD elements in the country with this attitude, you will suffer a great loss!"

Chen Chen's tone was extremely serious. In fact, at the moment when the explosion occurred in the Annar Hotel, he had clearly sensed the connection between this city and the attack, and also strung together all the clues.

The cult army entered Syria, set up a temporary headquarters in Tabqa, established a base, produced or smuggled a large number of explosives, and finally launched an attack on the handover site of prisoners.

All this was premeditated. Perhaps at the beginning, their target was not the captives, but they changed their plan temporarily after receiving the news.

But, this is no longer important.

What is important is that until now, the Syrian government has only come into contact with this complete clue for the first time!

This kind of administrative control really opened Chen Chen's eyes.

You know, this is not Pubei, there are no warlords.

Even in wartime, it should not be neglected to this extent, right?

If it were in the big country in the north, let alone hundreds of kilograms of explosives, you would have to register your ID card to buy a Coke bottle of gasoline at the gas station!

Looking at Chen Chen's expression, Su Haier could only spread his hands helplessly.

"It's not that we don't want to check, it's that we really can't."

"It's meaningless to say this now. We have to save people and maintain order first."

"In addition, we need to conduct another round of explosive screening - this can only be done by you, you have bomb-sniffing dogs."

"We can't do it."

Chen Chen decisively refused, and then said:

"We only have two dogs, and they can't search the whole city even if they die of exhaustion."

"The headquarters of the cult army no longer exists, and there is no need to worry about alerting the enemy. You should call for support immediately and mobilize large-scale forces to be on alert throughout the city."

"Tabka is the outpost of the JD organization deep into Syria, but Tabka is definitely not the only city eroded by JDism."

"It is very likely that their influence has spread throughout the entire Raqqa Province - their speed is much faster than you think!"

After the voice fell, Suhail's expression instantly became solemn.

At this moment, he also realized the accuracy of Chen Chen's judgment.

Yes, if the previous incident in Hamlet can be classified as an accidental incident, and if the attack on the prisoner exchange area can be defined as a "targeted attack", then this time, the explosion in Tabka can fully illustrate the seriousness of the problem!

When you find a cockroach at home, there must be hundreds of thousands of cockroaches breeding in the corners you can't see.

This sentence is also accurate when applied to JD elements.

We can no longer sit and wait for death, and we can no longer respond passively.

The explosion of the Annale Hotel is a heartbreaking disaster, but in a sense, it is also an opportunity.

After all, there are indeed some businessmen and tourists from other countries living here.

The "diplomatic pressure" it brings can also be exerted on the authorities, forcing them to give themselves greater support!

Thinking of this, Suhail said:

"I understand, I will do it right away."

"But you must help us continue to complete the defense in the city."

"I'm not sure if there will be a new round of attacks here - if we really kill the command center of the cult army, if they have armed forces in other nearby areas, then in the next 4 hours before the arrival of reinforcements, we will face unprecedented pressure."

"Understood."

Chen Chen nodded decisively, and then said:

"You are responsible for the inside of the city, and I will lead people to set up defenses outside the city."

"Focus on defending the highway in Zone 1 on the north side. If there are people, they will definitely come from that direction!"

Not always.

Chen Chen said secretly in his heart.

Now he already knows that SEAL Team 6 will execute Operation Neptune's Spear in Ressafa, which means that ISI's armed forces are likely to be deployed mainly in Ressafa.

The location of Rezafa is to the north of Tabuka.

So, he did not answer directly, just nodded and said:

"I will arrange it myself."

After the words fell, Chen Chen turned around and left the scene.

Immediately afterwards, he redivided the four assault groups of the Dongfeng Corps into two groups. One group of 8 people was responsible for the highway in Area 1 on the north side, while the other group of 24 people were all deployed near the Green intersection on the south side.

After completing all this, Xia Xing, who had always stayed in the rear camp, also came to Chen Chen and took this opportunity to ask him about the specific situation.

Chen Chen roughly explained the current problem. After listening to his narrative, Xia Xing's face immediately became as ugly as Suhail's.

"So, according to the current clues, do you think JDism has a tendency to spread in northern Syria?"

"It's not a spreading trend."

Chen Chen shook his head and continued:

"It has completely spread."

"The group of terrorists we just killed not only had light weapons, but also a small number of RPG rocket launchers, several light machine guns, and some even wore body armor."

"And I can be sure that the main force of this armed force is definitely not the religious legion."

"The Order Army will most likely only undertake training duties, or may go further and undertake some special operations missions."

"This also means that these weapons are held by ISI."

"This is no longer the weapon configuration of ordinary terrorists. They have completely developed into an army."

"This alone is quite terrifying. What's even more terrifying is that they can produce hundreds of kilograms of explosives in a short period of time - although we don't know yet whether they are ordinary ANFO or something else. Something that can explode.”

"But whatever it is, it means that ISI has taken control of a significant portion of industrial productivity."

"The problem of JD in northern Syria is much more serious than we thought, and it's accelerating."

Having said this, Chen Chen subconsciously clenched the gun in his hand.

His words were still conservative.

In fact, if compared with the previous life he experienced, the development of ISIS is no longer as simple as accelerating, it can even be said that they are making leaps forward!

What exactly is going on?

The spread of JD ideas can indeed reach incredibly high speeds, but what about the equipment? What about training? What about organization?

This thing is not something that can be achieved simply.

Chen Chen vaguely realized that the final answer to this question would probably point to the one he least wanted to admit.

That is, behind these people, there is the support of big countries.

Not second-, third-, or even third- or fourth-rate countries like Turkey, Israel, and Iraq, but a serious five-level force!

Thinking again of Morris’s GCP background

No, even your Gallic chicken has to be mixed in? ?

His expression changed imperceptibly, but Xia Xing immediately caught it keenly.

"What do you really want to say?"

Xia Xing asked directly.

After thinking for a while, Chen Chen did not choose to hide it, but expressed his opinion:

"I think there is a shadow of a big country behind this."

"JDism in the entire Middle East is converging too fast and developing and growing too fast."

"I seriously suspect that what they want is not just to break the Shia arc, they seem to want to create a new country here."

After the words fell, Xia Xing was stunned.

"Why?"

She asked subconsciously:

"Keeping the chaos in the Middle East is more conducive to them further implementing their strategies. If these extremists really all come together to form an internationally recognized 'country', it will be inconvenient to do many things, right? "

"What can it do?"

"This is Syria. The distance between it and us is too far. Even if we want to exert influence, it is completely inferior to Afghanistan."

"If such a strategy is used in Afghanistan, they can advance, attack, retreat or defend."

"If they advance, they can use the Wakhan Corridor to transport JDism unscrupulously; if they retreat, they can organize a strategic blockade and cut off land routes."

"Their resources are also limited. I really can't understand why they do this. Is it just to provide an excuse for them to return to the Middle East?"

"This is too nonsensical. It's just a magical story from street stall literature."

After hearing her words, Chen Chen spread his hands helplessly and replied:

"If you can't figure it out, it's even less possible for me to figure it out."

In fact, he really didn't understand.

Although in his previous life, there were always conspiracy theories on the Internet saying that ISIS was supported by NATO, and there was even evidence that the United States sponsored the predecessor of ISIS, which is now ISI, Chen Chen still felt that helping ISIS establish a country in Syria The idea was a little too stupid.

Either make the enemy's life difficult, or make yourself live a good life. Both of them must be equal in any case, right?

Establishing the Islamic State in Syria, what is the advantage?

None.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen gently waved his hand, and then said:

"This kind of thing is not for me to consider, you can think about it slowly."

"Now, we have to get through these four hours first."

"What four hours?"

"Four hours before the Syrian government army reinforcements arrive-we are likely to be attacked."

"You go back to the camp first and prioritize your own safety."

"Understood, I'll do it now."

"Boom!"

Before Xia Xing finished speaking, a huge explosion suddenly came from the city of Tabka behind them.

Chen Chen subconsciously looked back and found that a fire had already started in the center of the city.

And in the fire, there were also gunshots of intensive exchanges of fire.

But soon, the city returned to peace.

Suhail's Tiger Corps moved.

There are indeed some scattered extremists hidden in this city, but Suhail has not lost control of the situation.

This is undoubtedly good news.

Without the pressure from within, the Dongfeng Corps can concentrate on dealing with possible attacks from outside.

Chen Chen turned his head again to look into the distance, but at this moment, a report from the drone operator suddenly came into his headset.

"A large number of heat sources were found two kilometers to the north!"

"Rockets! Rockets!"

"Be careful to hide!"

As soon as the voice fell, a bunch of fireworks suddenly rose on the skyline where the sand dunes in the distance connected to the sky.

Then, one fireball after another dragged its long tail towards Tabka and fell rapidly to the ground.

"Hide!"

"UAV guided mortar counterattack!"

Chen Chen pressed Xia Xing to the ground with one hand, and then immediately raised the telescope and began to observe the movements in the distance.

At this time, the falling rockets had exploded in Tabka City, and the small town that had just quieted down was instantly in chaos again.

"107 fire, damn, how come they also have this thing?"

The white dog beside Chen Chen said with a spit.

"Why not? This thing is everywhere."

"Never mind, let's fight first."

"Drone, how many people are there on the other side?"

"A lot. More than two hundred!"

Chen Chen was shocked.

Two hundred people.

Two hundred people with 107 fire.

He vaguely realized that what he was experiencing was probably a standard "fuse incident".

From this moment on, the contradiction between the JD armed forces and the Syrian government was completely exposed!

This is really fun.

The problem of the rebels has not been dealt with yet, and the JD armed forces have started a big fight? !

This time, the Syrian officials really entered the hell difficulty dungeon

His thoughts were confused for a moment, but soon, the smoke and dust from the explosion in the telescope brought him back to reality.

The large-caliber mortar accurately destroyed the opponent's rocket artillery position, and the biggest threat was lifted.

——

However, the armed personnel identified by the drone have also crossed the sand dunes in a dispersed formation and appeared in Chen Chen's sight.

Two hundred people.

This may be a simple battle.

Chen Chen put down the telescope and raised the AK-74M.

Then, he gave the order:

"Group 1, go to the north for support."

"Snipers, get ready."

"Call out everyone one by one!"
