Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

Since the beginning of the month, EP-3E and EF/A-18G electronic warfare aircraft have been flying in northern Yemen, carrying out targeted interference with communication infrastructure and Yemeni military radar systems.

Even if a militia or tribal army discovered something unusual, poor communications would prevent them from transmitting information via the airwaves.

These times are precious windows of time for action.

Once the operation begins, the USS Eisenhower will dispatch additional EF/A-88G Growler fighters equipped with AGM-18 HARM anti-radiation missiles to the war zone to suppress or destroy all air defense systems controlled by the rebels.

During this period, the C-17 transport planes on standby will land at a simple airfield opened by the Rangers and Green Berets 30 kilometers east of Sana'a to supply them with four M4 MPF light tanks.

All motor vehicles are equipped with Hummers, which are provided in excess via low-altitude drop.

Now we have entered the second stage, that is, the Navy SEALs who went ahead have dispersed and disguised themselves to enter the city and settled down near the embassy.

They identified all the rebels' firing points that day and made further observations based on the firelight at night.

Although it was the busiest street, it was covered with gravel and broken bricks blackened by artillery fire because of the fighting that had not yet been quelled.

There were craters and chunks of concrete blown away by shells in a few places.

To the right of the embassy's main entrance, a burned passenger van lay on the ground, still emitting thick smoke.

Not only that, the rebels were also burning tires and other rubber products, creating thick smoke and dust over the city.

Cruising drones have no way of seeing what is actually happening in the city.

I don’t know if someone informed on them, or if their commanders judged the tactical intentions through the recent movements of the US military and made targeted arrangements in advance.

Very smart, and very effective in spying on satellites and drones.

But it didn't make much sense. The main force of the task force had already entered the city and conducted a thorough reconnaissance of the embassy area.

At the same time, a Navy PA-8 Sabodon arrived in the airspace near Sana'a, using its intelligence surveillance and electronic reconnaissance capabilities to assist in the operation.

The drone continued to hover, but the surveillance area became a large-scale rebel group on the outskirts of the city.

The Delta Detachment entered the city in disguise, riding in a wrecked van, wearing black robes and veils worn by women in the Arab religious circles, and entered their current temporary base under the cover of night.

Surprisingly, even though the rebels noticed them, they ultimately waved them through the checkpoint because they were “women.”

It's a bit stupid.

But it's hard to say, maybe the other party has seen through the plan and deliberately let people in and then besieged us.

If that happens, the problem will be huge.

Another possibility is that there was a whistleblower, an informant or an official who knew the information.

"Well, don't think about it for now." Raphael moved his lips slightly but didn't say what was in his mind.

If unfortunately what he said came true, they would be the ones to suffer.

"Prepare to land," the sergeant in charge of the two machine guns shouted, "Get into collision avoidance posture with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fuselage suddenly hit and tilted at least 35 degrees, and at the same time, G-force pressed on everyone.

Apparently, the pilots did a tailspin to slow down, just like when they came to pick them up.

"That's it, Go!"

Hearing this, Raphael opened the tightly closed cabin door, grabbed the hook of the rappelling rope on the floor, and slid down with nimble hands and feet, grasping the rope.

The rotor of the MH-60S Knight Hawk helicopter blew against the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and the roar of the engine was deafening.

When Asuka saw Raphael land and disappear in the dust, she immediately threw down the remaining supplies they needed.

Lingyin and Luhui had already landed on the other side. After Fei Niao confirmed that no belongings were left behind, he grabbed the rope and left Black Hawk.

After landing, Raphael rushed out immediately and rushed to the poplar tree 20 meters away from the landing area.

The landing point was too empty and I didn't feel safe standing there.

"Spartan OP-1, good luck to you."

"You too." Raphael pinched the PTT in return and watched Black Hawk go away.

Asuka and Luhui quickly sorted out the equipment and supplies and brought them towards the alert Raphael.

"Did you receive everything?" Raphael asked.

"All are here, nothing is missing or missing. Four M4 LAWs are enough for us to destroy four T-72 or BMP tanks."

"Then let's go, leave here immediately."

Raphael was the first to get up and set off, observing the undulating beauty of the surrounding wasteland.

With the help of low-light vision, she saw many small creatures that could not be seen during the day coming out of their hiding places to forage for food or mate.

The wasteland is not a dead place.

"Shit, Rafi, look at the sky at 7 o'clock, what is that?" Lingyin pointed at a flash of light in the sky.

"Meteors," Raphael said casually, but she immediately realized: "These things are flying towards us."

Chapter 152 Steel and Iron Bones

A rocket exploded not far from the Black Hawk helicopter, and the helicopter was immediately engulfed in the debris and dust raised by the shell.

There was no time to react, Raphael could only hug Luhui and rush to the dead tree next to him. Fei Niao found a hollow and lay down, and Lingyin immediately rushed to the farther rock and hid in the tiny gap below.

More rockets and tracer bullets exploded all around, and everyone present was stunned.

"Bombardment - take cover!" Asuka shouted.

The huge flames mixed with sharp dust seemed to devour everything.

To them, this was just a randomly chosen rappelling point. They would have to hike for several hours before entering the city and joining up with the detachment in the delta.

Only after that will the rescue mission begin.

Who could have imagined that there would be an exchange of fire so early in the morning?

The roar of the helicopter rotors was still there, which was reassuring. If it had crashed, it would have been another Black Hawk Down.

From its powerful rotor vortex, a flashing green ball of light suddenly appeared in the sky.

The rising light dyed the empty field green, just enough to cover the humanoid team and expose them in the open area.

Before the rocket bombardment was over, Raphael began to use the humanoid puppet protocol to confirm the physical condition of the three little ones.

She then decided to quickly leave the area illuminated by the flares before the Yemeni rebel soldiers approached.

This should not have happened. The special forces have been fighting in Yemen since 17, killing or capturing some low-level leaders, but they have never found a higher-level leader.

At the time, the opposing militants were usually divided into three different groups: ISIS, which originated in Iraq and Syria, an insurgent army originally called "Youth of Faith," al-Qaeda, which had split off again and again, and countless tribal armed forces of all sizes.

After the flares went out, darkness fell again. Raphael got up from the ground and pulled up the green light.

"Asuka, are you guys okay?"

"No, I'm fine." Fei Niao replied. She turned over and sat up, patting her body with her hands. Her sandy yellow coat now looked more in line with the surrounding wasteland.

"Where's Lingyin?"

Raphael ran over and pulled up the flying bird, looking around. The mind link was working normally, but he didn't see anyone.

"……I'm here."

"where?"

"Under the rocks."

Lingyin held her breath for a long time before she said weakly, "The rocket displaced the rock..."

"Oh~ you are stupid."

If it were a human being, in this environment, he would definitely respond with a triple reaction of “no hope, wait to die, goodbye”.

But the human form is different, the worst that can happen is that it looks a little ugly.

Fei Niao removed Lingyin's right leg and replaced it with a brand new one. However, due to the outdoor environment, it only had a bone structure and was not covered with any bionic materials.

The damaged right leg was scrapped. She spent some time setting up the explosives and detonating them manually, and only caught up with the humanoid team after confirming that it was broken into pieces.

"Okay, let's go." Raphael used night vision to observe the surroundings and modified the selected route, trying to use the undulating terrain to conceal the team's whereabouts as much as possible.

As for Lingyin's private mumbling, she pretended not to hear it.

As soon as they landed, before they had time to do anything, they were bombarded with a barrage of attacks.

That alone is extremely annoying.

A few hours later, the humanoid team stopped in the leeward side of the wilderness and spent the night there.

Before sunrise, Lingyin suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, shouting, "Listen, what's that sound?"

"It was the sound of the shells exploding, like thunder in a rainstorm."

Raphael opened his eyes, picked up his weapon and squatted down.

The sky in the distance was glowing red—that was the direction of Sana'a! From their current position, they could see the red glow of the rising sun in the east, but the bright red they saw was in the northwest...

Therefore, the brains of single-celled eukaryotic animals can see it clearly at a glance and will not confuse the natural light before sunrise with the light caused by artillery fire.

"Are we late?" Luhui crawled over and asked in a low voice.

"No matter what, since the command center has no other contacts, we will maintain our established mission unchanged."

The communication between the humanoid team and the command center was smooth, without any interference or disconnection. None of the fixed communication checkpoints were missed.

"Overload, Enfield O-1, Radio Check."

"Enfield O-1, Overload, Good Copy."

Luhui was worried, so he checked the radio again, and the reply came back that everything was normal.

She checked her personal tactical terminal. The drone had accurately captured their location and marked any suspicious activity sources around them.

Without tactical intelligence support, the humanoid team's ability to cross would be severely limited.

The heat sources are mostly small animals living in the arid wasteland. Because of the nighttime ambient temperature, they become extremely conspicuous in the eyes of drone sensors hovering at an altitude of tens of thousands of feet.

Fortunately, with well-trained AI and manual dual recognition, a lot of unnecessary content can be eliminated.

Otherwise, the screen of the tactical terminal will be filled with densely packed active heat sources, which will be too much to handle.

After the communication check, Raphael and Green Hui checked the map and direction together to determine their current location.

The original plan of passage was interrupted because of the unprovoked rocket bombardment - they all thought that the rebels or terrorists heard the sound of the rotors of the helicopter flying low, so they mobilized the nearest artillery to carry out an emergency covering fire.

"The route has deviated by 3 degrees, but we are already close to the outskirts of Sana'a." Lu Hui raised her hand and pointed at the gravel hill on their flank that was severely damaged by the wind and said, "Once we climb over it, we should be able to see the city."

"Can we get excited now?" Lingyin came over and said.

"You are a fanatical warmonger. Only fighting can cheer you up." Asuka criticized mercilessly.

"I'm not a berserker."

Lingyin took out her treasured Pokey chocolate bars and distributed the stick-shaped chocolate biscuits to other dolls like a corporate slave who had been ruthlessly beaten by society and was skilled in passing out cigarettes.

"When you are working, you should cheer up and finish the work as quickly as possible, and then you can relax during the rest of the time." Lingyin said.

“You are a genius.”

Raphael rubbed Lingyin's head, put his equipment back on, and started crossing mountains and hills with nimble hands and feet.

In fact, based on her observations over the years, enthusiasm and excitement are not common at work.

Reality will be very different from imagination - it will not make people feel good at all.

On the hillside on the shady side, it was still pitch black without a trace of light as the morning sun was about to rise.

When Lingyin was halfway up, she looked at the metallic luster between her trouser legs and her shoes and suddenly said:

"Hey, what do you think? If a flare suddenly rises from the sky at this moment...are we doomed?"

Chapter 153: Too busy to take care of yourself

Once again, there was a noise from the west.
