The UN Observer Group has more than a dozen members, but only three people have real say at this time. The US representative, the Chinese representative and the Russian representative.

"China has always opposed all forms of terrorism and is willing to contribute our strength in anti-terrorism." The Chinese representative said expressionlessly: "At present, a Chinese compatriot is likely to be trapped in the war zone. I hope your government can take concrete actions. We have authorized the combatants of the UN peacekeeping force to accept the deployment of your military."

The major general wanted to strangle this shady guy to death!

You did contribute your strength. Last night, you sent hundreds of technicians into our oil fields! In the name of helping Iraq to extract oil, you took away 52% of the shares of the oil fields!

As for the little strength of China in the UN peacekeeping force? Damn it, there is only one platoon in total. What can these people do? China's troops are indeed better than the Iraqi government forces, but the number is too small. Besides, this involves diplomatic issues. If they are sent to the front line, Iraq will have to provide all-round protection!

The reconnaissance plane has confirmed that the Lur settlement has been occupied by IS, which means that the Chinese who got into trouble first is likely still in the war zone and fell into the hands of IS.

In the end, China's intention is to force the Iraqi government to solve the problem by itself and send troops to rescue people!

"The US government will never compromise with terrorists. We will not give a penny of ransom!"

The American representative looked indignant, slammed his fist on the table, and said to the Iraqi major general: "Don't worry, I have submitted a report to the president. The president will do his best to persuade Congress to agree to send troops to Iraq again! But before that, I hope you can do your best to rescue our journalists!"

The other representatives almost laughed when they heard this.

Who doesn't know how cumbersome the American procedures are, especially for major events involving sending troops, which require collective discussion by the Senate and the House of Representatives, and more than two-thirds of the consent, from proposal, review, voting, to the final approval of the president... Even if everything goes well, it will take at least two or three months, plus the preparation of the army... God, can the US army enter Iraq in half a year?

Moreover, the anti-war sentiment in the United States is serious, and the government has already made up its mind not to send large-scale troops directly to the big quagmire of Iraq.

Therefore, every time the American representative said "yes, I will ask Mr. President to let Congress discuss it", everyone knew that his real meaning was actually NO!

The major general looked at the Russian representative with a stern face: "Needless to say, your country is also prepared to stand idly by?"

"General, I don't understand why you say that!" The Russian representative's face was like a blank board in mahjong, expressionless, but his tone was tough: "Our president ordered the Air Force yesterday, and an airborne team is flying to the scene of the incident to search for Ms. Lyudmila. Of course, if conditions permit, they will also rescue the two American journalists. And our bombers and missiles are ready. Once the hostages are rescued, they will immediately cover the mountainous areas occupied by IS. Isn't this enough help?!"

"Enough!" The Iraqi major general yelled, and it was not known whether he was saying that the help given by Russia was "enough" or that he was angry with several representatives.

The remaining representatives of the observation group looked like they had nothing to do with it. Germany, France, and the United Kingdom are all so worried about Britain's withdrawal from the European Union that who has time to care about Iraq's mess.

"Everyone, the Russian paratroopers have entered the designated location and have started a fierce battle with IS!" Another message came.

"What?!" The Russian representative's expression changed slightly, "Why did our paratroopers engage in a firefight with IS? I want to talk to the squad commander!"

...

The 76th Russian Airborne Division has been writing a chapter of victory and glory since its birth. It is the most popular unit in Russia and is regarded as "the elite of the army and the pride of the nation"!

From the day he joined this ace unit, Captain Ivanov has regarded the honor of a soldier as his life. When the president gave the task of rescuing his compatriots to their squad, Ivanov accepted it without hesitation despite knowing that the mission was extremely dangerous.

As a glorious national soldier, Ivanov is not afraid of death, or in other words, between dying gloriously for the country and living in shame, he will choose the former without hesitation.

But he didn't expect that this mission was wrong from the beginning!

There were major errors in the intelligence of the General Staff and the Iraqi government. When they landed near the Lur settlement, they found that the entire settlement had been occupied by IS.

Not only the settlement, but also the nearby mountains were full of IS troops. Their team of paratroopers was like a fool. From the moment they jumped, they were already locked by IS troops.

After landing, a fierce battle ensued. After eliminating more than a dozen IS militants patrolling nearby, Ivanov's team was completely exposed. A large number of IS troops surrounded them from all directions.

Fight! Fight! Fight non-stop! As the most elite special airborne soldiers, Ivanov's team fought their way out of the IS encirclement, and attracted hundreds of IS combat troops with a squad of troops.

But they were still outnumbered and surrounded by IS on a small hillside.

"Captain, there are enemies everywhere! What should we do?!" a paratrooper asked loudly!

Before he finished speaking, a rocket with a tail flame exploded ten meters away, and the paratrooper who was asking questions was directly knocked out by the airflow.

"Get down!" A comrade roared wildly and threw Ivanov from behind.

Gravel and soil fell from the sky like raindrops, Ivanov's ears were buzzing, and a hot stream came from his face.

Ivanov turned his head and saw that the shrapnel had left a huge gap in his comrade's neck, and blood spurted out of the wound like a fountain.

"Damn IS!" There was no time to be sad, Ivanov shouted: "Vasily! How many of us are there?!"

The signalman Vasily did not respond. Ivanov pulled Vasily's arm... His hand suddenly felt light, and he pulled out half of his bloody arm from the temporary trench. Vasily's body had been blown away.

"Ding... Calling Commander Ivanov!" The signalman's arm was still tightly holding the communicator.

"I'm Ivanov! I'm Ivanov!" Ivanov was furious.

"Ivanov, this is the command center, how are you doing!"

Ivanov looked up at the makeshift position... In fact, it was not a position at all. The airborne soldiers were scattered in several naturally formed bunkers and fighting on their own.

"We are surrounded, and the losses are heavy. The brothers are almost wiped out! Damn, there is at least a battalion of IS militants nearby!" Ivanov yelled at him.

"Ivanov, the president orders you to abandon the mission and break through as much as possible!" The voice on the other end of the communicator paused, "If you can't break through, the president authorizes you to surrender!"

In the explosion, a shell fell into a bunker five meters away from him. The airborne soldiers in the bunker didn't even groan, and they exploded into a bloody mist.

Ivanov's face showed a look of determination. "Sir, can I speak directly to the President?"
