"Safe! Safe!"

There was a commotion in the cabin. After confirming that no unlucky person's equipment was hooked on the vehicle, Watson was the first to rush out when he saw Dmitri nod at him.

Below is a continuous mountainous area.

In addition to the eastern plains, there are narrow mountains on the west and south sides of the ancient city of Dermes. They are like two fingers, pinching the entire city in the middle, becoming a natural barrier to block the enemy. But this also provides cover for airborne infiltration operations. The team will directly airdrop into the mountains and launch a surprise attack on the target location.

They were not really going to enter Gudjermez.

There are many villages and towns around Gudermes. There is a place called Raskanyut in the south. This small town is separated from the city by a row of mountains and is currently under the control of a warlord named Ahmed Isaev, who is the business partner of the arms dealer Grigoryev.

The warlords and armed factions of all sizes in Chechnya are mostly in competition with each other, which is an important reason why Gudermes is willing to help. They are happy to let the Russians eliminate Ahmed in order to stabilize the environment around the city, so they promised to hold down the large troops after the battle begins.

But even so, the time for action must not be delayed too long.

After all, compared to fighting for territory, the charge of "collusion with Russia" is more unbearable.

Only by completing the operation as planned and fully demonstrating strength can we increase the bargaining chips for subsequent persuasion. If it turns into a mess like the first Chechen War, we can only go back to our own homes and talk later. In the final analysis, the paper agreement was signed after all, so we have to take some superficial efforts into consideration.

Therefore, regardless of whether it succeeds in the end, Russia will not recognize this operation.

As for the "Slade" that Yuri inserted...

This person never showed up.

After estimating the altitude, Watson pulled out his parachute to pretend to fly, but in fact he used the buffering ability to control the direction. The airflow in the mountains is complex and strong winds can easily blow the parachute off course, so the entire team adopted a low-altitude parachute operation. This method is extremely risky, especially at night, and if you are not careful, you may hit the rocks directly.

After a battle with the night wind in the air, Watson successfully landed on a small, gently sloping open space. This was the location that had been selected in advance through the reconnaissance plane's photos, and he was undoubtedly the first to arrive with full marks. He quickly packed up his parachute, put the ammunition bag hanging under him on his back, and the long tip of the KSVK stood up like an antenna.

Fortunately, in this remote area, no one will see us at night.

The town of Lascanyut was built beside a mountain. There was no safer route for infiltration than climbing a mountain. Unfortunately, the group could only run. Although there were military jeeps in the transport plane, they were only prepared as a retreat measure for the team. If the parachuting was accidentally discovered by the enemy, the transport plane would immediately fly back and drop the car on the flat ground at the edge of the mountain.

But it's too unlucky to be discovered just after landing.

Soon, a call from his teammates came through the communicator. Watson immediately reported his location and informed his teammates that he was heading for the rendezvous point. January is the core period of winter in Chechnya, and even though the weather was good tonight, the temperature still dropped below zero.

For example, the central region where ancient Dermes is located has a stepped geographical structure of plains-hills-mountains. Even the mountains are only about 2000 meters above sea level, which is very different from the Caucasus Mountains, which are often three or four thousand meters above sea level. The forest vegetation is relatively lush.

The treetops covered with snow formed two distinct layers with the white and lower leaves, which looked beautiful. Especially for someone like Watson who had rarely seen snow in the wild in winter, he regretted not bringing a camera. He should have taken a few pictures and brought them back to show Michelle and Nisha.

It would be a good album cover...

Ms. Drew's face appeared in her mind, and Watson almost forgot that she released an album at the end of last year.

My agent must have gone crazy.

After finishing all these messy things, it is time to go back to London. I haven't visited old lady Peggy for a long time... No, no, her appearance has returned to that of a woman in her 50s. Her appearance is not inferior to that of female stars of the same age, so now I should change my address to Ms. Peggy.

But Peggy's favorite name is Miss Watson's:

Aunt Peggy.

Tsk, that's disgusting.

While driving, Watson unfolded the paper map and confirmed the direction of the rendezvous point again. The sound of the transport plane had gradually faded away, and his ears were once again filled with the quiet chirping of insects, as if it were an ordinary night. He continued to move forward with a gun, allowing the magnetic field to spread outward, carefully capturing every possible metal movement around him.

Watson has been practicing this move with his teammates every day recently.

Already very skilled.

Not surprisingly, he was the first to arrive.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the team members came over one after another. No one was surprised by the performance of Watson, a perfect scorer. The team assembled within half an hour, and the soldiers began to pass small bottles of sheep oil to apply on the face and wrists to resist the cold. Captain Dmitri took a few team leaders and confirmed the location and route of action with the map. The entire action team then turned northwest and continued to move forward along the mountains.

Tired of the trees in the mountains, Watson quickly turned his attention to the vast plains outside the mountains. The eastern plains of Gudermes have large tracts of arable land, but now they are full of dangers and no one has been cultivating them for a long time. During the first Chechen War, both sides of the war buried a large number of mines and homemade explosives, especially in the central core war zone. These things may not be cleaned up in ten years, let alone one or two years after the war.

This land is one of the most densely mined areas in the world.

If you are not familiar with the road conditions and drive around randomly, you may end up falling on the spot.

Even in mountainous areas, explosives are buried in many paths, gaps, gentle slopes and the like, posing another major threat to local residents.

But even in the woods in this place, there are still many traces of small animals.

With the sound of insects and birds chirping in his ears and the swaying shadows of trees cast by the moonlight, Watson felt that the scene before him was somewhat familiar. He looked at the soldiers marching around him and noticed the camouflage nets on the sniper team. Then he remembered that the Wolf Pack team had also been dressed in similar clothes when they had previously operated in the Congo jungle.

Especially the shooter holding the SVD, he looks a bit like a ghost.

How long has it been?...

Thinking of the ghost, Watson recalled the others. He did not take the initiative to contact them this time, and he did not know that Beltway was in the late stage of cancer. Since the disbandment of the Wolf Pack, Victor, Wolf Mom, and Four Eyes have not been in contact with each other, especially Wolf Mom. Watson really can't forget the confused look of the French wife half lying on the bed.

This woman should be able to live a good life.

Just like Michella and Nisha.

The silent march lasted for nearly 4 hours. When dawn began to fall on the land, the team had arrived at the location between the city of Gudermes and the town of Laskanyut. Except for Watson, everyone was out of breath. Captain Dmitri looked at the map again and decisively announced that they would find a place to camp.

Although there are few rebels in the mountains, there are definitely some.

We also have to be on guard against civilians who run into the mountains to hunt for survival. It would be difficult to deal with them if they were discovered.

The team quickly selected a camping site, and Watson used a shovel to help dig a few foxholes, quickly skipping the most difficult initial stage of concealed camping. There was also a pit dedicated to burying excrement not far away, but let them deal with that themselves, Watson didn't intend to be a nanny.

After a lot of trouble, the camouflage net was completed, the guard team and standby personnel were arranged, and the remaining soldiers hid in the pit, used daggers to cut solid alcohol fuel to cook, and chatted with each other.

What was the level of individual rations in the Russian army in the late 90s?

It's totally unflattering.

Compressed biscuits, canned stew meat and rye bread were so hard that they had to be soaked in liquid to soften them before they could be eaten. The soldiers boiled a pot of water, threw in two tea bags, and then divided them among themselves to dip the bread in. A few people also brought small bottles of vegetable sauce and jam, which was a luxury and was immediately divided up.

The several teams on guard outside will definitely not be able to enjoy this opportunity.

Watson didn't plan to take it either. He climbed up the tree and ate some compressed biscuits. No matter what the food tasted like, as long as it was edible, it would be digested immediately in his mouth. He could even choose not to feel the taste.

Perhaps it was because the journey had been peaceful for too long, and before two minutes had passed since the meal, the guard team received a communication saying that they had discovered an enemy patrol.

Everyone took action immediately.

This was a four-man patrol team, moving along the worn-out path on the hillside, heading northwest of the camp. Captain Dmitri gave a soft order, asking everyone to stay hidden and let the patrol pass.

After this little episode, the conversation that was originally going on became completely quiet.

Captain Dmitri quickly finished his meal and pulled Watson out of the camp to find the chosen observation position. This hilltop had lush vegetation, strong concealment, and a clear view of the town below. They were now less than 4 kilometers away from the town, so they could use a telescope to observe the general situation, especially the checkpoints at each entrance and exit.

Although Gugelmes would not send anyone for the time being, they could not stop the small-scale spontaneous support around Laskanyut, which would become a problem and obstacle that the team had to face. In addition, there were hundreds of enemy troops stationed in the town, so the action team naturally could not attack from the front.

Ultimately, air support is needed.

Fortunately, the Russians can send planes at will to the Chechen region, which has basically lost air superiority.

In addition, Yuri has fully learned from his opponent's previous practices and has developed a number of insiders in the Chechen region in conjunction with the Russian intelligence agencies. Two action guides - strictly speaking, two truck drivers, will come to contact today to help the action team improve the plan and use local vehicles to get as close to and even blend into Raskanyut as possible before being discovered by the enemy.

Warlord Ahmed is already here.

The only question is: when will the arms dealer Grigoriev show up?

Watson looked at the snow-covered town and began to think about a plan to act alone.

He really didn't plan to follow the team throughout the whole process.

The entire town of Lascanyut is divided into two areas by a river from northwest to southeast. The river surface freezes in winter, but the riverbed should be deep enough for me to pass through. Anyway, I don't need to breathe, I can just follow the riverbed into the town, and it doesn't matter if I stay for a day or two. These people can't take any precautions at the bottom of the river.

So for Watson, the top priority is to find a legitimate reason to leave the team.

Fortunately, the upcoming guide is an opportunity.
