Chapter 906 - 407: Breakthrough (Part 2)

Chapter 906: Chapter 407: Breakthrough (Part 2)

"Let’s prepare to take action!"

"Everyone, check your ammunition."

As he spoke, Gu Ji took the 7.62mm magazine handed to him by Zhuang Feng, reloaded it into his AK-103, suddenly lifted his head, and coldly stared at the extremists on the hillside as if looking at a pile of corpses, "Action!!"

"Yes!"

At the command, everyone raised their guns and shouted, advancing while alternating cover.

Gu Ji’s return to the team undoubtedly boosted everyone’s morale significantly.

Gao Bo and Liu Weijun fought fiercely, as if they wanted to swallow these terrorists whole.

In the blink of an eye, three enemies were shot dead.

"Be careful, a large number of enemies are surrounding from the left rear!"

"Draw them in to relieve the pressure on Zhao Hua and the others!"

From behind, Wu Kang, who was on guard, suddenly shouted.

But Gu Ji remained calm, maintaining a rhythm of alternating long and short bursts, suppressing the enemy along with the scouts.

When they encountered the body of a terrorist holding an AK.

They quickly scavenged for ammunition under the cover from the front.

Disregarding whether they were surrounded or the firepower problem.

This anti-terrorist SWAT team, comparable to a second-line special forces team, engaged head-on with Shalam, was nearly overwhelming them.

At this moment, the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team was like a sharp knife stabbed deeply into the enemy’s heart.

"The number of enemies around here has obviously increased!"

"The resistance is more intense too!"

Liu Weijun and Gong Qingyong said one after another.

Gu Ji took down an extremist with two shots, hid behind cover, and shouted, "This further proves we’ve already entered Shalam’s core battle zone, their leader must be among these people!"

Mentioning the leader.

Zhuang Feng became noticeably more interested, his ears perked up like a rabbit, observing back and forth.

But instead of finding the person, he saw a thug picking up a thick long tube.

"RPG!!"

He shouted loudly while raising his rifle to frantically fire.

Bullets hit the thug’s chest, and the RPG-7 fell to the ground.

But in the next second, a bearded man wrapped in a white robe and headscarf commanded another thug to pick it up.

Beside him was a short young man holding a black remote control, operating something.

Zhuang Feng immediately looked up at the quickly passing reconnaissance drone overhead, suddenly understanding.

"I think I found the enemy leader and UAV operator, that white-bearded one..."

"Rat-a-tat-tat!"

He was excitedly halfway through his report when a burst of bullets interrupted him.

Meanwhile, the enemies from behind and the left side were gradually encroaching on their safety distance.

"Zhou Yang, right front, the young man next to the white-bearded man!"

Gu Ji, in a gunfight with two extremists, heard Zhuang Feng’s shout and immediately confirmed with his peripheral vision, then swept his gun towards the RPG thug.

"On it!!"

Zhou Yang decisively abandoned the machine gunner behind, cursing as he turned to find the target, "I’ve finally got you, damn it with the buzzing all night!"

A gunshot echoed.

The young man hiding next to the leader was instantly shot through the neck.

Blood spurted, spraying onto the leader’s white robe and beard, nearly causing him to fall, as he frantically ordered his men to open fire for suppression.

"Everyone, cover Zhou Yang, quickly shoot down the UAV!"

Gu Ji, despite his rumbling stomach, activated the [Eagle Eye] skill for the second time, rapidly counterattacking.

Without a UAV operator, the reconnaissance drone would just hover in place above them.

As long as Zhou Yang didn’t make a mistake, it was still quite easy to shoot it down.

Victory was in sight.

Everyone had to muster all their strength to withstand the pressure.

Zhou Yang hid behind a tree, raised his gun, and took a deep breath.

"Bang——!"

"Hit it!!"

"Quick! Test the radio, contact command center immediately!"

Gong Qingyong was so excited he nearly lost his voice. Just as he finished speaking, he heard Zhao Hua and Lei Wanshan conversing over his tactical headset.

"How’s everyone else doing now?"

"Mr. Lei, we’re all fine, the signal interference has been eliminated, but we’re still trapped on the mountain by extremists."

"Gu Ji!?"

Li Ruilin exclaimed in surprise, then let out a long sigh of relief.

"Glad you’re all okay. Ten minutes ago, Zhao Hua updated us on the situation. The Iranian side has dispatched two AH-1J attack helicopters from the Tehran base, expected to arrive in three minutes!"

"Mr. Lei, Iranian communication is now open, you can directly contact the AH-1J-9 pilots!"

Li Ruilin had just finished speaking when Mr. Qu from the foreign affairs office’s voice came through.

Just as Gu Ji had predicted before.

Only through diplomatic pressure could the Iranian side be forced to provide additional CAS close air support.

Air power is, after all, a nation’s core strength.

Judging from the Iranian side dispatching transport planes needing escort by two attack helicopters, you could see how important they considered these assets.

Not to mention that some countries have pitifully small air forces.

Even a superpower like the United States doesn’t allow just any soldier to request air support.

At least someone qualified as a JTAC Joint Terminal Attack Controller is needed to coordinate air support for ground troops.

"This is AH-1J-9, estimated 2 minutes and 17 seconds to target point!"

The Iranian pilot’s English came through on the headset.

They could already hear the rotor blades vibrating in the mountains, and looking up, indeed, there were two green dots appearing in the southwest direction.

"This is Xia Kingdom SWAT, crew members do not fire at IR flashing targets, those are friendly forces!"

Without waiting for Li Ruilin and Lei Wanshan to speak.

Gu Ji opened the radio channel directly to give instructions.

"Received, attack all non-flashing targets, those are enemies!"

"AH-1J-12 understood, about to reach the target area!"

"Quick! Everyone turn on the IR strobe lights on your helmets!"

Gong Qingyong listened to their conversation and quickly directed everyone.

Actually, without translation, everyone understood those "IR" letters.

In the next second.

Two AH-1J Cobra attack helicopters flew over the mountainous area, and instantly, the M197 three-barrel 20mm "Gatling-style" cannons mounted underneath each fuselage rotated.

"Ratatatat..."

A dense burst of gunfire sounded, the cannon bullets like two death rays sweeping across the mountain area, kicking up dust everywhere they touched.

Rifles stood no chance against cannons.

Large groups of extremists fell like wheat, the central area full of severed limbs and unrecognizable flesh splattered across bushes or rocks, horribly tragic.

"Damn it, dealing with these extremists really requires heavy firepower!"

Gao Bo spat heavily as if venting a whole night’s worth of grievances.

"This attack helicopter’s firepower is really something!"

"That’s military-grade, of course it’s different from ours!"

Wu Kang and Zhou Yang watched in awe and clicked their tongues in amazement.

Only Zhuang Feng and Gu Ji remained focused on the extremist leader.

The former was from the military after all, while Gu Ji had witnessed aerial support’s terror first-hand during the Mexico air crash mission.

That’s why he previously called out to avoid friendly fire.

Seeing most of the extremists were dead or wounded, he quickly pressed the radio to call for a halt, "Zhou Yang, don’t let that leader escape!"

"Understood!"

Zhou Yang aimed the Iranian KH2002 designated marksman rifle, gently pulled the trigger, and hit the white-bearded man’s calf as he tried to escape to the mountain top.

"Chase!"

At Gu Ji’s command, they charged forward.

Everyone chased and cleaned the battlefield simultaneously.

Soon they had encircled the white-bearded man in the center.

"Zhuang Feng, ask him immediately where they took Mr. Kang!"

Gong Qingyong’s first reaction was to the rescue mission.

Zhuang Feng nodded, but from his flickering gaze, it was clear he had another purpose for capturing the Shalam operation leader alive.

[Objective: Completely break through Shalam’s encirclement, find a way to capture or kill the enemy operation leader successfully!]

[Intelligence agents and armed mercenaries from various countries are infiltrating Tehran!]

[Shalam reinforcements estimated to arrive on site in 7 minutes and 12 seconds!]

[Iranian Savama intelligence team under attack!]
