Chapter 241: Hidden into the target valley

In the language of the locals, Mount Kopet is called Khorasan Mountain. The end of the mountain is Iran, and the end of the mountain is Turkmenistan. The end of the mountain enters Afghanistan. Ashgabat is at the foot of the mountain, and the other part of the city is the desert.

The Copete Mountain is not high, with the highest peak of only more than 3,000 meters, but the entire mountain range is very wide, with a length of more than 640 kilometers. Trekking in such a mountainous area is not a light physical work.

The helicopter hovered 120 kilometers away from the target village. In the dark, the helicopter dropped a few ropes. An Feng, Argyle, left and right hands, as well as six lizards and wild cats landed on the ground along the rope. Then they made a gesture, the helicopter unloaded the speed down rope and flew away from the scene in the dark.

The Copete Mountain is not desolate. At the southern end of the mountain is a foothill ranch that stretches for more than 400 kilometers. It faces the Iranian end and belongs to the north of the mountain. It is a steep rock wall. The foothills of the pasture form a vast gentle slope grassland. Looking north of the mountain, there are mountains and mountains. Every inch of land is covered with shrubs, groves, and birch and pine trees that have grown for hundreds of years.

That night, when they landed from the plane, An Feng and others did not move forward in the dark. They were not familiar with this mountainous area. They were close to the target area and dared not walk with the lights. Because the lights at night were completely visible dozens of kilometers away, they just found a leeward place, quietly packing their luggage while waiting for the sun to rise.

At this time, the assault team had a total of six people, with an average weight of 82 kilograms. They carried twenty kilograms of drinking water alone, and there were enough food for these people to lurk in a week, as well as sleeping bags, climbing ropes, and enough weapons and ammunition.

Argyle was the most tall and strong among these people. He also carried an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in his travel backpack. An Feng, the second strongest, carried a four-unit stinger missile launcher. As for the rest, sniper rifles, WeChat submachine guns, and pistol daggers were usually equipped. In order to ensure the success of lurking, the wild cat also carried a pair of crossbows and twenty-four crossbows with potassium cyanide. In short, these people have been armed to the teeth, and with this firepower, it is probably no problem to attack a small town.

When the sun rose, the rest stayed in place, with the left hand in front and the right hand assisted in covering An Feng. The three of them climbed to the nearby commanding heights. An Feng opened the satellite communication equipment and started contacting at the front line command post.

At this time, Odney had already arrived in Ashgabat with the playboys, and was still having fun. Of course, the playboys had both IQs. They vaguely felt that An Feng, who was receiving them, had changed his horse, but... Since the hospitality specifications were not reduced at all, everyone was here for the sake of playing, and some details were ignored under Odney's distracting persuasion.

At the same time, in a farm in the outskirts of Ashgabat, the fat girl stayed in front of the computer when she was a child. She had never performed big tasks independently. In other words, this person was never good at making decisions. Now she was alone in a huge base, a little overwhelmed and a little panicked.

Fortunately, now is not the time to act.

"The large drone is ready. We have leveled a three hundred-meter runway in the manor. This runway is usually disguised as a parking lot. When you need it, we will release the large drone. But please inform me at least three hours ago. It will take at least two hours for the drone to fly to you.

Odney said he returned in three days, and there was also the lady named Danielle. She had already taken a convoy to the mountains. Odney thought that logistics supplies should be handed over to him, so he shipped the supplies on the plane to Danielle for two vehicles. However, Danielle also said that she only had four of them to fight, and they were all women, so she would not participate in the tough battle…”

After the fat girl finished speaking, An Feng raised his wrist and started to count the timing: "Then, let's start moving. Every two hours is a window period. If there are any special circumstances, please make an agreement in advance."

At this time, An Feng and his men looked like six loyal donkeys. They were carrying the largest travel backpacks on them, with single tents, sleeping bags, moisture-proof pads, etc., and each of them also brought anti-collision helmets for both military and civilians. Of course, this kind of mountaineering helmet is actually specially made. The helmets hide various electronic equipment, and tactical glasses and other accessories can be added at any time.

The wild cat bears the least weight and is a vanguard without exception. He also carries a pair of large infrared individual rangefinders and walks ahead of the queue with one horse. The lizard falls behind the wild cat's shoulder five steps away. He holds a Polish-made submachine gun in his hand, and remains in an excited state at any time.

Argyle walked in the middle of the queue, protecting Argyle with his left and right hands, because the most important substances in the group were on Argyle's shoulders, and An Feng naturally broke the back. In addition to his travel backpack, he also carried a four-unit stinger missile launcher.

The wild cat walked at the highest point of the ridge. He looked like a local monk, with a big bag on his head and a light gray robe, and chose to walk on the ridge with sparse trees. If someone hid in the distance, he could see him at a glance...but he was bait.

Generally speaking, when a lurking whistle encounters a stranger walking alone, the first idea may be not to call an alarm, but to expel it, or to threaten and intimidate it in the past. Only when they encounter a large force and feel that they are not capable of the enemy will they issue the alarm as soon as possible. The wild cat is walking in a clear place, while the rest hide behind the ridge and rely on the night cat's warning to march in secret. If you encounter an accident, you will immediately hide when you hear the wild cat's alarm signal. In this way, the marching speed of the entire team will be guaranteed.

The lizard was located a lower body than the wild cat, and his head was already hiding under the ridge. As he was moving, he checked the nearby valley with a laser rangefinder hanging on his chest. His route was always parallel to the side slopes and kept it a head lower than the ridge at all times.

The rest of the people had already hidden in the dense forest, and they walked very quickly because there was a hundred miles of mountain road to catch this day.

Every time you go forward for an hour, the wild cats on the ridge will stop on excuses, use a laser rangefinder to check the surrounding conditions, and then notify the subsequent personnel to stop resting. After everyone rested for ten minutes, the group would start again.

The two or three hours of the beginning were quite smooth. At noon, after lunch and we started back on the road, we only walked for more than 30 minutes. The wild cat on the ridge suddenly waved his hand and signaled everyone to hide nearby. He squatted down and took off his light gray Arabian robe, revealing the light green camouflage clothes he was wearing.

An Feng quietly followed a few steps, first made a gesture to his left hand, and immediately turned around with his left hand, holding a submachine gun, facing the back of the entire team, and began to warn of movement in the opposite direction, while his right hand took out his computer from his backpack and prepared to connect to the satellite at any time. At noon, Argyle gently lowered his luggage and asked An Feng with his eyes. An Feng waved his hand at him, walked over and put his backpack next to Argyle's luggage, and whispered: "I, wait for me, I'll go up and take a look."

When they got up again, An Feng made a gesture, and the team members turned on the headphones at the same time - they needed to lurk for many days, and the battery capacity they carried with them was limited. In order to save power, the communication channel could not be turned on as a last resort.

An Feng hugged his waist and carefully pushed away the bushes along the way, touching the wild cat lying on the ridge. At this time, the lizard was already lying beside the wild cat with a sniper rifle in his hand. He heard the movement behind him, and his body turned into a lying downward posture with his back facing the sky. He found that it was An Feng who came, and he quietly urged An Feng to sign language.

The wind blowing from the jungle is full of green air. In the rich green smell, a tobacco smell is faintly floating. This is a typical local local tobacco. It is purely made of tobacco leaves. Nowadays, cigarettes no longer contain any tobacco leaves. The tobacco in most cigarettes are paper products, paper soaked with tobacco in and out. Although this paper has a nicotine smell when burned, it lacks the strong aroma generated by the burning of pure tobacco leaves.

The wild cat stuffed the laser rangefinder in his hand into An Feng's arms, and then whispered: "At two o'clock, there are three dogs, two children, an old man, and a flock of sheep."

An Feng raised the laser rangefinder and used the telescope function above to observe the grass 640 meters away. He saw more than a hundred sheep scattered on the gentle slope of the valley in front of him. Half the hillside, near the top of the mountain was an old man in his fifties and sixties, wearing a thick black striped sheepskin coat, and constantly shaking the sheep whip in his hand. On the right front of the old man with black coat was a sheep dog. In the flock not far away, two children led a sheep dog to have fun. And the flock...the flock of sheep eating stars filled the entire valley.

The wind blew from the old man to An Feng. For the time being, An Feng didn't have to worry about his breath being noticed by the old man and the dog. So he lowered his head and thought to himself.

The wild cat said softly in his ear: "If you go around it, it will take an extra hour - at least an hour."

The words "old, weak, women, children and flocks" were once famous nightmares of the SEALs. When the US military attacked Afghanistan, a four-person hunting team was ordered to lurk in the mountains. They met the sheep kids in the middle of the journey. The four SEALs had children and flocks. At that time, they knew that letting the kids meant that the action had been exposed, but their moral bottom line made them insist on doing so.

Afterwards, the children did go back to the village to report the letter. More than 50 Talibans came out to chase them out. Three of the four hunting team died and one was seriously injured. The US military later dispatched a platoon and lost a helicopter to snatch the body of the hunting team and the wounded.

Afterwards, someone asked the only surviving SEAL member, asking him that he did not regret letting the child go, but he said he did not regret it. He said that the purpose of his fighting was to protect the lives of children and innocent people. Not shooting at children and women was the bottom line of being a human being. He was very happy that he could retain his moral bottom line in the bloody war. For this reason, this soldier was solemnly commended by the US military.

Attacking the elderly and children, especially attacking them, is an extremely evil behavior in the eyes of most people. There was once a movie about Nazi concentration camps that described the children in the concentration camps. It goes without saying how evil the Nazis were, but they just said that they didn't even let go of their children. The audience recognized that this group of people were the top evil people of the earth's civilization.

The question now is whether it is necessary to bypass this flock of sheep and the elderly and children who are grazing.

An Feng also prepared a backup plan in the plan prepared before departure, but at that time, An Feng and Odney underestimated the herdsmen in the mountains. All plans target herders who grazed dozens of sheep. Because in this way, a small flock of sheep was spread out and the area was not large, so just take more time to go around.

He never expected that there was a rich herder here with more than a hundred sheep and three dogs to grazing.

After thinking for a while, An Feng made a gesture helplessly. The wild cat understood what An Feng meant. He nodded: "Then, I will stay in place to watch."

This is intended to bypass the flock of sheep from nearby valleys.

Although it took a little longer to do this, it was safer because everyone did not know the direction of the shepherd. If the old shepherd sat and wanted to change to a pasture to herd sheep, he drove the flock to this hillside. The team members would be exposed.

The wild cat stayed in the distance, observing the actions of the old shepherd, and reminded everyone at any time; he went up to the opposite ridge with his left hand and walked along the ridge half-covered. He was alert to the movements on the other side of the hillside, while the rest of the people went down to the bottom of the valley and used the dense trees at the bottom of the valley to trek among the trees. At this time, in order to cover up the smell emitted by the body, everyone took special pills and bandaged them all, leaving only two eyes and a mouth outside.

An hour later, everyone walked out of the valley, An Feng began to summon the wild cat and retreated. The wild cat immediately went down to the middle of the mountain - at this time, his left hand on the opposite ridge had been changed into ordinary people's costumes, and all the weapons were distributed on An Feng and Argyle. They both carried only a mountaineering pickaxe in their hands...

After finally climbing up another ridge, the wild cat walked back to the ridge and began to be alert. At this time, the trip had been delayed for an hour and a half, and the rest time was cancelled on the next journey. Everyone lowered their heads and rushed forward.

You cannot take a straight line when walking along the mountain road. The winding mountain road has infinitely extended the entire journey. When night falls, everyone has not yet reached the destination, so they have to rest on the spot for a while, drink a few sips of water, and chew two pieces of chocolate to replenish energy. The team started a night march.

The marching mode of the night marching is different from that during the day. The team is very dispersed during the day. When the marching is pursuing a hidden whereabouts, the team at night has to gather strength. The vanguards in front are only more than ten meters away from everyone, and the defenders behind the fall are only five or six meters behind.

Everyone uses a blue fluorescent helmet, which is a special refrigeration light source that can illuminate the distance between three or five meters in front of you, but twenty meters away, the blue fluorescent lamp becomes dim and weak. Fifty meters away, the fluorescent lamps are almost no longer shining.

At this time, An Feng came to act as a vanguard. He felt that darkness did not hinder him. He tried to choose a safe road and led everyone through the dense jungle... At two o'clock in the evening, after a arduous trek, everyone finally arrived at the small mountain village where they were targeting.

There were constant unexpected situations along the way. The assault team led by An Feng avoided many shepherds and two or three hunting teams. Fortunately, they arrived at the destination without any danger, but the reservation plan was completely disrupted.

If according to the normal plan, An Feng and his team should arrive at the target village before sunset, and then use the afterglow of the sun to observe the surrounding environment of the village, and choose their own lurking location, then quietly wait for the night to come, and then use the protection of the night to scatter into their respective villages. But now they are a few hours late. At night, it is not convenient to observe the environment, and at the other side is worried that they will encounter the lurking whistle of the other party, so they hurriedly looked for a leeward, and did not even dare to raise the tent, so they pulled open the sleeping bag, and each went into the sleeping bag to rest and rest.

The alarm clock of the military watch was vibrating. An Feng slept for an hour and was awakened by the vibration on his wrist. He looked around and found the group's post with his super vision. The first person on duty was Argyle. The big marshal carried the bag all day during the day and still stood on the first shift at night.

An Feng quietly crawled out of the sleeping bag, then took out a wet wipe and quietly wiped his body, wiped away the sweat from his body. The cold in the mountains at night was so stimulating that he shivered, but this cold made him more awake.

After wiping his body, An Feng used a plastic bag to encapsulate the used wet wipes. He changed into a cool clothes. The old clothes he wore yesterday, full of sweat, were also encapsulated in the plastic bag to prevent the smell from leaking. After doing all this, An Feng rolled up his sleeping bag, took out the camouflage net, moisture-proof pad, and military blanket from his backpack, and quietly touched Argyle's whistle.

When approaching Argyle, An Feng made a short cricket chirping. Argyle replied with a signal. He left the sniper rifle in his original position and left the wardrobe empty-handed. When the two passed by, they shook hands with each other, without making any sound.

The sentry that Argyle chose was very good. In front of him was a cluster of short peony bushes, and behind him was a fir tree. The grass under the tree was very dense. After entering the grass, he straightened the nearby grass stems and put them on a camouflage net. If others did not approach, they could hardly see anything abnormal in the bushes under the pine trees.

The morning light in the mountains comes relatively late. As the sun rises, the small mountain village in the center of the valley gradually reveals its complete shape: this valley is about three kilometers long and more than 600 meters wide. The west side of the village is a seasonal stream. When the flowers bloom in spring, the snow on the mountain melts, and the river surface can have waters of more than ten meters wide. Now it happens to be the dry season, and the riverbed is full of exposed stones.

A faint mist settled deep in the valley. Only the upper half of the village houses was exposed, and the lower half was shrouded in the mist. The cathedral in the center of the village... The upper half is a dome building. Although the dome does not have any gilt decoration, it still shows a grand momentum - it is twenty meters high. Considering the remoteness of this village, it is also a considerable project volume for handling so much cement.
