Thunder Strikes Back

Chapter 768 Death of the Minister of Defense
Captain Chapman dragged Singer and desperately shuttled through the jungle, leaving the rest of the people carrying the wounded far behind. This was not his intention, but an order from above.

Wang Tiechuan saw a helicopter shaking and circling over the sea of ​​fire from a distance. He knew that there was an open space under the helicopter, and maybe the pilot was using the airflow under the rotor to extinguish the fire.

He ordered the first sniper team not to pursue, but to find a commanding height with a good shooting range on the spot, and prepare for long-distance sniper killing.With another shooter who is good at running, he himself is still running forward. If he can get close to the helicopter within 400 meters, he will have greater confidence in identifying the target and shooting.

A Black Hawk landed slowly, and the huge airflow brought by the rotor extinguished the flames below.According to the order, it will wait here for the Indian Minister of Defense, and several Vipers will be responsible for the real strikes on the surrounding threats to ensure that important tasks will be withdrawn to Agra as soon as possible.The second Black Hawk is still on the way, and they will pick up the rest of the US troops at a later time.

Although the Foreign Legion has a tradition of retreating first from top to bottom, such a tradition goes against the intention of the decision makers.

These soldiers who participated in the war for money, and Singer, who killed people for his obsession, are also pawns in the eyes of the White House, but Singer's value is higher.

Analysts in Washington have judged that in the short term there is a great chance of a rebellion in New Delhi, and the collapse of the Kahan regime. How to keep India in the fight and keep China trapped in India is the focus of the authorities' research.

Jamilon's voice in the North Central Occupation Area is rapidly rising through a series of land reforms. If the former minister of agriculture representing the left-wing movement will emerge, only a former minister of defense representing extreme nationalism can compete with it.The battle for pattern in the post-Khan era has reached a critical point at this moment.

The first sniper team climbed up the big tree to observe the possible landing area of ​​the enemy, and sniped 1 km away from Cong. They were also responsible for indicating the target for Wang Tiechuan who was still approaching.The fire was fading near the landing site, just in time for them to monitor with night vision equipment.

"Captain, I saw a Black Hawk preparing to land, and there are 2 to 3 armed helicopters covering it in the air."

While running, Wang Tiechuan knocked on the microphone to show he heard it.He has anti-infrared clothing and cover in the woods, so he is not so easy to see by the helicopter.There are a large number of guerrillas coming from the rear, so it is easy to attract the attention of the helicopter.

"The target is not in sight yet, maybe near the fire."

Captain Chapman was desperately trying to find a way through the sea of ​​flames close to the landing zone, so that once Singer was thrown on the plane, he could turn around and go back to rescue the rest of the team.

Helicopters in the air can see the captain's IR reflection, which provides the necessary indication.The command group in Washington can judge that Singer is only the last 500 meters away from the plane.

A large group of guerrillas rushed past the big tree where the Chinese snipers were lurking, and they used flares to open up a forward passage.This is the only way they can get through quickly.Of course, it will inevitably provoke the helicopters in the air.

"Captain, the guerrillas are coming, more than 100 people, they can't fight the enemy helicopters."

The sniper team said calmly that they can't help much by hiding in the dark, but the presence of guerrillas can put tremendous pressure on the enemy and force their deployment to make mistakes.

A Viper helicopter turned around and came towards the group of guerrillas. Its machine guns fired a series of firepower in an attempt to stop the guerrillas.This is a very dangerous operation, and the helicopters were warned when they took off that the guerrillas might have Sam 7s from government army warehouses.

A guerrilla aimed the SAM at the target and began cooling the seeker.These poorly maintained missiles cannot intercept targets at standard ranges, but if the target gets closer to a few hundred meters, the chances of locking are greatly increased.

The terrifying helicopter rushed towards it spraying flames. It had excellent night vision equipment, but in the jungle sheltered area, it still needed to get as close as possible.

The pilot could see the shadowy crowd on the ground. After he hovered, he started to fire rockets, knocking the ground people upside down for a while, but the scattered formation of the guerrillas still rushed forward tenaciously; for them, the name of the Minister of Defense, Means boundless blood feud.

The helicopter began to hover and turn to shoot, killing the exposed personnel below like a plow. It turned too much smugly, and the cooling part of the engine gradually turned to the Sam 7 missile. The shooter who was waiting patiently finally heard the sound of a beep.

The missile swished towards the heat source and easily hit the hovering helicopter. Because the distance was too close, the Viper basically had no evasive action.

The explosion knocked out the helicopter's tailboom, and the plane crashed into the trees below, scaring away a second helicopter that was about to descend.If it stays too high, it won't be able to see the crowd below.

Soon, the guerrillas began to exchange fire with several U.S. troops who were left behind. Since two of them were wounded, the battle ended quickly.

The sniper team in charge of observation saw that the Black Hawk finally landed. About 5 or 6 soldiers jumped out of the plane and spread out in the area very close to the rotor. Judging from this posture, they planned to catch up and run away, not to expand their control area.

"Captain, the enemy has landed, 6 people came down, there may be snipers, and the main target has not been seen yet," the sniper said, "No, I have seen it, it is about 250 meters away from the plane, and 2 people ran towards it. "

"Shoot them together and hold them down as long as you can."

Wang Tiechuan finally opened his mouth to give instructions.The two shooters who stayed behind began to shoot at a target one kilometer away. Of course, due to the distance and the fact that they were climbing on trees, it was difficult to hit the target.

Captain Chapman's last 300 meters was not easy to cross. The explosion behind him was loud, a helicopter fell, and bullets roared in his ears. Obviously, the enemy was equipped with night-vision sniper weapons in addition to the missiles that shot down the helicopter.

The helicopter ahead is already within reach, and hope is just around the corner.Judging from the sound, the bullets were coming and going, but they were aimed at him. Kenny was fired from a commanding height far behind him. If he kept running straight towards the plane, he had a certain probability of being hit.

He grabbed Singer and ran sideways over the potholes to disrupt the sniper's aim.This did cause trouble for the sniper, but it also slowed him down.

Wang Tiechuan quickly ran up a high slope.He set up the gun, and then through the low-light sight, he clearly saw the two people running in front.

He could see one of them was bald and seemed to have a beard, which fit the target description very well.He aimed steadily, and the deputy shooter began to measure the range.

At a distance of 280 meters, the wind speed at this distance is not negligible, but the effect of the enemy's lateral movement on the damage to the lead is already very small.

The deputy shooter kept chanting the new distance figure by his ear, he moved the muzzle of the gun steadily, and then pulled the trigger.The first shot hit the American soldier's thigh. Of course, he aimed at the Minister of Defense next to him. Anyway, the luck was not bad.

Chapman was hit and fell heavily to the ground.The bullet only grazed a little bit, and still opened a huge gap in his thigh, and the remaining energy smashed a big crater in front of him.

Singer, who was out of breath, immediately felt the American soldier next to him tilt to one side.He was also from the military and knew what was going on.He quickly threw off the captain and ran straight ahead, shouting at the same time.

The soldiers of the foreign legion defending in front beckoned him to hurry over, but no one dared to run forward for more than 100 meters to pick him up. The sniper team who stayed behind had already started shooting at the helicopter and hit it several times, forcing the enemy to stop. Dare to move around, the pilot has already seen a helicopter being shot down, staying here for a second means a greater chance of being hit.

Wang Tiechuan is not the best sniper among the snow wolves, but his physical ability is unmatched. He sprinted in the dark jungle in a short time and was rewarded. He finally caught up to a close enough area.At a distance of 300 meters, he is very sure.

Singer no longer moved in a curved line, and he hardly moved laterally on Wang Tiechuan's crosshairs, which made Wang Tiechuan slightly lower the muzzle of his gun. Before he set off, he received a call from Xu Jingzhe, telling him that if possible, don't Leaving an excuse to kill senior Indian officials, Singh can be left to the guerrillas.

The shot hit Singer's ankle and broke the bone firmly. After Singer fell, he could see his right foot hanging beside the broken bone, with only a little skin attached.

He knew he was going to be doomed, but he crawled forward desperately.He expected that a bullet would hit him in the back soon, and he would end up.Obviously, there are not only the group of illiterate guerrillas in the woods. It is impossible for them to shoot so accurately. There must be some killers sent by the Chinese... Anyway, this is not the worst case. He is most afraid of falling into the hands of the guerrillas. .

However, the precise firepower behind him did not shoot at Singer. Wang Tiechuan turned to shoot at the enemies who were trying to approach in front, because those enemies also had night vision equipment and might threaten him. He knocked down an enemy with one shot.Watched the rest of the nearby enemies, picked them up, and stuffed them into the plane.

After the helicopter cockpit was hit continuously, the enemy's psychological defense finally collapsed, and at this time the guerrilla grenades had already hit their surroundings.Black Hawk reported to the superior that the main rescue target had been shot and they had to retreat immediately.The image of Singer being shot and fell to the ground was transmitted to Washington through the data link, and the extremely annoyed Vice President ordered the termination of the plan.

The fighters quickly got into the plane and closed the door.During take-off, the Black Hawk quickly turned the fuselage sideways, aimed the armor at the enemy's firepower, and fired jamming bombs continuously.With this embarrassing movement, they fled the landing zone, and Frings realized that even a place not far from Agra was no longer safe.

The female guerrilla leader was the first to rush forward. She rushed past Chapman, who raised her hands in surrender, and ran directly to Singer, who was lying on his back. Through the burning bushes nearby, he could clearly see Singer's body. Face, she grabbed the minister's tie and dragged it up.

"Mr. Minister, do you remember who I am?"

Singer whimpered and rolled his eyes, and didn't speak. Of course he didn't know the person in front of him. Maybe he had found this person in the intelligence materials submitted by Charmain before, but how could he remember such an unknown person.

Wang Tiechuan saw that the guerrillas gradually gathered around the target, began punching, kicking, and spitting at the target. For him, the task was completed and it was time to retreat.He and his people cannot have direct contact with the guerrillas, as that would easily cause misunderstandings.

It was not his decision not to directly kill the target. Xu Jingzhe asked when explaining the mission that the target can be directly eliminated only in the worst and most urgent situation.And Wang Tiechuan's calm mind allows him to leave room for judgment in the harshest environment.

He quietly withdrew from the shooting position, and then reunited with his own people scattered in the rear. There will be no helicopter to pick them up tonight. They must pass through the 30 kilometers of enemy-occupied area at night and return to their own control area, but this is not the case. What is difficult, there are no enemy ground troops on the passage from New Delhi to Agra.

Under the firelight, a chilly machete was pressed against Singer's neck. Singer turned his head and looked at the short, dark woman in front of him.All his life he was conceited, proud of being born in a high caste, and even looked down on women, but he didn't expect to end up in such an end.

"Mr. Minister, even if you are sent to the people's court, you will be sentenced to death."

"You despicable bitch, why did you betray your country? What kind of ecstasy soup did Nassar's careerists give you to make you betray your motherland?" Singer, who was pale, cursed.

"We represent the poor who are being driven to death by usury, the peasants who have been driven off their land by state-indulged big business, and the people who have been oppressed by the caste system."

"You, a country woman, know what the people are? What is democracy?"

"I'll show you our democracy."

Priya said and raised the machete.

Seriously injured, he was rushed to Rahim on a stretcher, but it was still a step late, and Singh had already fallen in a pool of blood.The guerrillas cheered and prepared to execute the captured foreign soldiers.

"Comrades, stop it." He yelled weakly, preventing Priya from shooting the American.

"Why? They used helicopters to attack us just now." The guerrilla leader was puzzled.

"That's what makes us different from them, we don't kill captives."

He got off the stretcher, staggered over to Singer's dead body, and shook his head. The man would have had a lot of publicity value if he had been kept.

"Where did the people from the propaganda team go? Get them to take a few photos. We need to announce to the world what will happen to this butcher."

Someone came over and clicked and took a few photos. The flashlight hit Singer's face, which was dying, making the face look extremely pale and terrifying.

"The enemy air force came back to retaliate, we have to withdraw quickly."

The guerrillas absolutely left the wounded U.S. troops, and then escorted the rest to evacuate.

New Delhi ushered in a quiet morning, and the air defense siren did not sound once throughout the night. This is such a long-lost situation that some people have temporarily forgotten the reality of being besieged.

Inside the Prime Minister's Palace, Major General Muyar circled the stairs excitedly and went down to the basement. He believed that the good news he brought would bring some relief to the desperate Prime Minister.He walked quickly across the corridor, ignoring the officer on duty who was standing quickly to attention in the attendant's room.

The major general pushed open the door of the prime minister's room, and Kahan was standing in a daze in front of the huge portrait of Gandhi.

"Prime Minister, that traitor... that damned traitor finally didn't end well, he's finished... Hehehe, I just said, all the traitors will be in trouble."

Contrary to the major general's expectations, Kahan still stood there without any reaction.

"Prime Minister, Singh was captured by the guerrillas and is said to have been executed." He walked up to the Prime Minister and said cautiously.Muyar is a soldier with rough lines, and it is not easy to understand Kahan's state of mind at this time. He thought that the news of Singh's execution would definitely make Kahan happy, but he found that Kahan was crying.
