King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer Chapter 1729: 1413: Unexpected Incident During the Raid

Chapter 1729: Chapter 1413: Unexpected Incident During the Raid

The atmosphere in the P·B command center was relaxed, but the logistics at Kandahar Airport faced a huge challenge…

20 Super Albatross planes left by the United States Army for the governnt forces, two Su-27s brought by Boss Qiao himself, and 8 Mil helicopters served as the main strike force for the night, putting enormous pressure on the logistics personnel.

After the 8 Mil helicopters took off first, the largest airstrike since the fall of Akandaha in Afghanistan began.

With intelligence assistance from the Taliban, P·B was able to easily identify the general location of the drug lords’ processing plants.

This was followed by a large-scale reconnaissance by unmanned airships. Drug processing facilities that operated at night were quite easy to spot in Aqionghan, where basic electricity was not guaranteed.

After pinpointing the exact location, the special forces were air-dropped for detailed reconnaissance. Once confird that there were no issues, the target was locked…

And finally, the bombing comnced!

To force the drug lords connected with Musa Suleiman to spend money purchasing raw opium from farrs, Boss Qiao was putting in all his efforts.

…………

In the western border town of Mandalay in Aqionghan, ‘Radar’, after completing the night operation, led the Tiger Fang Squad as they put away their parachutes and located two US-made Polaris All-Terrain Vehicles that had been air-dropped together.

After checking the status of the two all-terrain vehicles and the safety of the backup fuel, ‘Radar’ was satisfied and pressed the communicator…

“This is the Tiger Fang Squad, we have successfully parachuted into the area and are setting up a temporary supply point to place fuel and ammunition. We will depart for the target location in 30 minutes…”

………

Inside the command post, a Kurdish female technician responsible for the logistics of the Tiger Fang Squad put down the communicator, picked up a carbon pen and walked to a whiteboard where she marked a check after ‘Phase 1’…

“Sir, Tiger Fang Squad Phase 1 completed, Phase 2 will begin in 30 minutes…”

“Big Beak Bird Squad is starting off, they will reach the predetermined airspace in an hour…”

………

In the anti, ‘Radar’, after his comrades completed the camouflage of supplies using a rock wall recess, gestured and said: “Record the coordinates. Our mission today is heavy; we have to cover four locations.

We’ll split into two teams, each with 3 mbers…

After saying that, ‘Radar’ first got into the compact passenger seat of a Polaris All-Terrain Vehicle and, after checking the spare fuel and crate of Springblade knives strapped to the back, he turned to his driving buddy, ‘Donkey’, with a smile and said: “Don’t be nervous, I’ll guide you…”

‘Donkey’ seriously stepped on the gas, heading towards a mountainous area in the north…

The Polaris navigated the complex terrain without any comfort, causing ‘Radar’ to bounce and his helt to hit the top safety bar with a ‘bang’ as the vehicle traversed the bumpy ground…

The continuous occurrence of similar situations made both ‘Radar’ and the companions in the back seat miserable.

Finally, ‘Radar’ couldn’t help but hit ‘Donkey’ on the head, cursing: “What the hell are you thinking? If you can’t drive, just get down and let do it…”

Since parachuting down, ‘Donkey’ was a bit absent-minded, paused, and then waved his hand saying: “I’m okay; I was just thinking, when can our old unit start using this stuff?”

Saying that, ‘Donkey’ pulled up his right sleeve with his left hand to reveal the Talus flexible exoskeleton underneath, saying: “I’m of Tajik ethnicity, but my mom’s from Hebei, and I’ve been practicing Changquan with my grandpa and uncle since I was a kid.

My grandpa told that the real skill in fighting is the force behind the hit, training makes you resilient, and being resilient allows you to exert deadly force…

My uncle, at over forty, could crack a sheep’s head with one blow, yet now his joints swell during rainy days.

But look at this, with this thing, a muscular guy from the gym can learn to channel force and deliver a lethal punch.

This would save so much hardship.”

‘Radar’, upon hearing this, frowned and asked: “What do you an?

You’ve had this thing for almost two months; why are you feeling sentintal during a mission?”

‘Donkey’ chuckled awkwardly, saying: “I sprained my ankle during the parachute landing, and if it were before, I’d be a burden now, but I’m fine, so I can’t help feeling…um, a bit jealous maybe…”

‘Radar’ paused upon hearing this, then while tapping ‘Donkey’ on the head to signal him to focus on driving, he said with so exasperation: “This thing costs 700,000 US Dollars each on the market, and the price quadruples with the Talus frontline terminal.

Hu Lang is one of our own, and whatever P·B Special Forces uses, we get too.

What are you jealous of?

If you’re brave enough, write a report when you get back, get so perks for our brothers who don’t have this.”

‘Donkey’ sighed, saying: “I wouldn’t dare; 700,000 US Dollars a set, converted to RMB, is over 5 million, enough to buy several houses in my hotown.”

Saying this, ‘Donkey’ glanced at ‘Radar’, slyly suggesting: “Chief, do you think we can take these back when we leave?

These good things, once worn, will be hard to live without in the future?”

‘Radar’ said expressionlessly: “How should I know?

But we’re a special ops team, and in the war zone, we’re always fully ard. As long as Aqionghan’s mission is complete, we’ll be out of here wearing their uniforms. If anyone stops us, just ntion ‘Three Yellow Chickens’.”

Once we’re back, our squad can rotate them when we execute missions.”

As the two were talking, ‘Three Yellow Chickens’ voice ca through the radio…

“Can you damn well discuss stealing things without being overheard? Do you think I’m a sucker?”

Saying this, ‘Three Yellow Chickens’ pretended to be secretive: “What you have is the second generation, if you’re going to steal, aim for the third generation.

AVIC’s people are arriving next week, they’re preparing to ‘test’ the combat strike capability of the Winged Dragon 3. When the ti cos, if you want any equipnt, just ntion AVIC’s Li Weiguo’s na, let them cover the bill with missiles.”

‘Radar’ heard it, cut off communication, and punched ‘Donkey’ who was laughing with his mouth open, swearing: “Shaless, shaless?

Complaining during operations, if outsiders hear this, they’ll think we can’t manage our own days.”

‘Donkey’ laughed heartily, pinched his throat and said with a trembling voice: “Mother told from a young age, poor kids must learn to fend for themselves…

Haha, what’s shaless about it, the squeaky wheel gets the grease!

Are we afraid of hardship?

This is for the benefit of our squad!

If you all are embarrassed, I’ll do it, I’m not afraid of sha, haha…”

While ‘Donkey’ joked, ‘Radar’ suddenly pointed ahead, saying: “Slow down, we’re almost there, circle north, hug the base of the mountain…”

‘Polaris’ voice wasn’t loud, when ‘Radar’ and the three of them stopped on the sandy ground at the mountain’s base, about 500 ters from the target, the people inside the target workshop surprisingly noticed nothing.

After getting out, circling a few hundred ters, squatting on a hillside, ‘Radar’ activated the Talus small drone, starting reconnaissance on the target workshop area.

Bombing fears collateral damage, which is why close observation is necessary…

At the sa ti, the other three mbers of Tiger Fang Squad also reached the destination and began reconnaissance…

‘Radar’ transmitted the drone’s footage back to command, then pressed the communicator, saying: “This is Tiger Fang Squad, phase two completed, now proceeding to phase three, after locating targets 1 and 2, we’ll move to targets 3 and 4…”

………

In the command center, ‘Three Yellow Chickens’ saw the Kurdish female logistics officer check off phase two on the whiteboard, he picked up the communicator, saying: “This is ‘Three Yellow Chickens’, ‘Radar’, make sure to observe carefully, ensure there are no won and children inside the drug workshop.”

………

‘Radar’, looking at the drone’s transmitted footage, patted ‘Donkey’ on the shoulder, saying: “The drone can’t see inside the workshop, ‘Donkey’ you stay here, I’ll go up with ‘Night Cat’ and take a look…”

Saying this, ‘Radar’ and another comrade ‘Night Cat’ disappeared into the darkness. About 20 minutes later, the two returned to the observation point, ‘Radar’ left a laser pointer marking the workshop location clearly, and the three swiftly withdrew to the next location.

The sa scene played out repeatedly over the nearly 600 kiloters of long and complex terrain between Herat in Northwest Aqionghan to southwest Zaranj…

This core area of the Golden Crescent is filled with more than a hundred large and small drug processing factories.

These drug processing factories are incredibly cheap because they don’t require overly advanced equipnt.

This ti, P·B is targeting the larger ones among them; the goal is to destroy the raw opium stored inside the factories.

Aqionghan has one good point, n here generally do not make won work unless they have no choice, and children do not appear near the hazardous areas around drug processing factories.

After the special ops team spent most of the night on reconnaissance, the bombing began…

20 Super Albatrosses carrying 400 Super Pressure Hellfires executed pinpoint bombings on those drug processing factories.

The power of the Hellfire is only average for the larger factories, but with plenty of flammable materials inside, usually, 10 Hellfires can trigger a burn effect.

If the expected targets weren’t reached, the subsequent Su-27s would drop 500 kg incendiary shells to completely ignite the factories.

Following closely were the Mi-24 Hinds, which took off first but arrived last, they would cover the special ops team obstructed by the frantically defensive drug lord squads and lead them to safety, then land and evacuate them…

This was a no-holds-barred raid, everyone’s tasks were packed exceptionally tight…

Even though the teams on the ground were battle-hardened elites, there was still an accident…

Having successfully completed their mission, Tiger Fang Squad evaluated the results up close after bombing began, then during withdrawal, they ran into a contingent of drug lord forces responding to the commotion.

Both sides erupted into fierce conflict, Tiger Fang Squad was forced to retreat into a complex mountainous terrain…
