Chapter 1,466 Raid on Porto Port
North of Apartado, this is a mountainous area covered by tropical rainforest. This place is far away from the highway and the city. As far as the eye can see, there is an endless tropical rain forest. Except for a few scattered villages on the edge of the rain forest, there is no trace of human habitation.
The heavy rains in recent days have made the already old road even more muddy due to the muddy water washed down from the mountains. Even the most experienced explorers and travelers would not choose to enter this jungle at this time.
At this moment, deep in the jungle, a group of soldiers armed to the teeth were moving in an orderly manner towards the Port of Porto.
"We're almost there. We'll reach Partado in twenty kilometers, which is the edge of the jungle! We'll reach Bortu along the road further on!" Acting as a guide for the Star Ring Trade Army Andre, the captain of the Southern Colombian guerrillas, said to the Star Ring soldiers walking next to him.
"Are you familiar with this area?" Gao Jian asked after looking at the satellite map on the holographic screen on his left arm.
"Of course," with a hint of pride at the corner of his mouth, Andre continued in unfluent Chinese, "I have grown up in this area since I was a child. Even with my eyes closed, I can walk out of here."
"It's better to keep your eyes open," Gao Jian looked around, "We are getting closer to the American position."
…
In Porto Port, the streets were deserted and there was not a trace of civilians in sight.
Because they were close to the fighting front line, local residents had been evacuated to the nearby city of Monteria by the Northern Colombian government forces. At this moment, Porto Port is completely under the military control of the NATO coalition. Not only are checkpoints set up at several main entrances, but soldiers wearing urban camouflage can occasionally be seen patrolling the streets.
Stationed here are the U.S. 27th Infantry Brigade and the legendary 1st Battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment.
Although most of the supplies are transported to the front line from Monteria, as the front line of the war zone between North and South Colombia, Borto's strategic value cannot be underestimated. As the elite of the United States and even the entire NATO coalition, they are responsible for guarding the blind spots of the coalition's offensive front. In addition to being wary of Southern Colombia's guerrillas suddenly emerging from the tropical rainforest and threatening the supply lines of the NATO coalition forces, when necessary, they will use their advantages in mobility to directly pass through the rainforest and attack Southern Colombia's rear positions. Launch a surprise attack.
It can be said that this force is the sharp knife hidden in the sleeves of the NATO coalition forces.
"Shet, I don't know how long this heavy rain will last," said a young American soldier, swatting away mosquitoes with his hands and sitting at the checkpoint at the entrance of the town, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, and cursed impatiently. , "I would rather stay in the desert and feed the camels than here."
It's obviously raining, but it doesn't make people feel refreshed at all.
The air here is so humid all year round, it's as annoying as breathing through a wet rag. Coupled with the stalemate in the battle, all the American soldiers who were looking forward to driving Hummers all the way to attack the city felt like their expectations were frustrated.
"There's nothing wrong with rain," the unshaven veteran grinned. "It's better than going to the front line and dying."
"Are you kidding," the soldier raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully, "Only those monkeys that haven't evolved well?"
"The guerrillas in Southern Colombia are a trouble, but not a threat." His eyes were lost in memories, and after a moment of pause, the veteran continued, "But the Star Ring Trade is different. They are not only a threat, but also deadly."
As if he heard something funny, the soldier curled his lips and said in a half-joking tone.
"I admit that Star Ring Trade is very strong, but do you think too highly of them? Our number is ten times theirs, and our aircraft carrier battle group is cruising in the Caribbean Sea. Where are their aircraft carriers? I almost forgot , they don’t have that stuff at all.”
After a moment of silence, the veteran said.
"If you fought in the last Colombian civil war,
You wouldn't say that. "
"Really?" The soldier curled his lips and joked in a half-joking tone, "I think if we were standing here last time, this civil war might have ended last time."
After hearing such outrageous remarks, the veteran smiled and was about to retort. Suddenly, a warning sign suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.
His hand suddenly reached for the rifle next to him. Just when he felt alarmed and stood up, several short gunshots rang out almost at the same time!
Tu tu tu tu——!
The orange ballistic trajectory flashed without any warning, and the American soldier at the checkpoint fell straight into a pool of blood. The soldier who had a look of disdain on his face before had dilated pupils with a look of disdain on his face, and it took a while for his pupils to lose their expression.
The thunder that exploded in the sky covered up the sound of gunfire clearing the checkpoint, so that it did not attract anyone's attention.
Invisible boots stepped over the puddles, and the falling raindrops outlined the outline of the exoskeleton. After confirming that the entire checkpoint had been cleared, a dozen soldiers wearing K2 exoskeletons gathered below the checkpoint and gradually emerged from the rain.
The leader reached out and pressed his helmet, and reported in a deep voice.
"Team B is in position and the checkpoints have been cleared."
"Received, combat units at all levels are attentive and entering the town."
"clear!"
Like a ghost, a troop covered in jet-black exoskeletons emerged from the shadows of the rainforest. Pairs of iron boots walked across the muddy road, and the heavily armed soldiers quickly passed through the cleared checkpoints and broke into the port of Porto controlled by the US military.
Finally, when the Star Ring Trading soldiers infiltrated into the two streets, the patrolling US soldiers finally discovered these uninvited guests.
"Enemy attack——!"
After roaring at the top of their lungs, the patrol that was attacked immediately leaned behind the bunker and fired back at the Star Ring trade soldiers across the street with their rifles. A rifle grenade flew away and exploded at the door of a shop dozens of meters away.
With the roar of this explosion, the war between the two sides was completely ignited!
"Attention all teams, turn on the safety and fire freely! Repeat, fire freely!"
The whole town was boiling.
The orange-yellow ballistics shuttled through the rain curtain, weaving large nets called death.
Leaning behind the bunker, Gao Jian quickly clicked his fingers on the holographic screen on his left arm. The Hummingbird drone hovering in the air immediately pounced on the U.S. soldiers hiding behind the bunker, and the muzzle of the gun hanging under the chassis instantly Terrifying tongues of fire spewed out.
The soldiers who were shot screamed and fell to the ground, and were dragged into the bunker by their comrades who were not shot. Several light machine guns fired into the air, and soon the two drones fell down, but their mission had been completed.
Taking advantage of the lull in the firepower of the US soldiers, the soldiers of Star Ring Trading quickly rushed forward.
Just as the American soldiers stationed at the other end of the street responded hurriedly, the roar of the propeller suddenly sounded. Camus, the commander of Company C of the 1st Ranger Battalion, who was responsible for directing the operation, suddenly looked up, with a hint of ecstasy suddenly appearing on his face. .
"It's our plane!"
The Apache helicopter gunship suddenly shot out from the building complex, with the bomb nests on both sides and the M230 cannon in the middle aimed at the Star Ring trade soldiers who were charging towards the Ranger position. However, before Kamus was happy for two seconds, the smile solidified on his face.
Dragging a thick column of white smoke, a surface-to-air missile shot up from the other end of the street, ignoring the heat decoys flying in the sky, and crashed straight into the Apache!
With a loud bang, Apache, who had just appeared for less than two seconds, burst into black smoke and fell towards the commercial street not far away.
The high-heat launch tube burned the raindrops into water mist, and a "Crocodile" armored vehicle was seen driving slowly onto the street from the rear of the Star Ring Trade Position. The bowl-thick machine gun in the center of the turret slowly stopped in the center, reflected in a pair of pupils that were gradually filled with fear...
Camus had only one thought in his mind at the moment.
How did their armored vehicles pass through that tropical rain forest?
