"Regarding the intelligence you're concerned about, I can only tell you this: the location is in the heart of the desert. Although it's at the junction of several countries, the environment is extremely harsh, and there are no obvious landmarks."
Ross walked to the map and pointed at the location. "As for the number of people, we estimate nearly a hundred, and their weapons are unknown. The target we need to rescue will provide us with a satellite map shortly."
"We'll prepare our own other weapons, but they will provide us with two assault armored vehicles."
Ross told his team members all the intelligence he had.
"Have the armored vehicles been modified?" Rod was more concerned about this question.
"Both assault armored vehicles have thickened steel plates and run-flat tires, and they are fully stocked with ammunition."
Ross had an 'of course I know' expression. "All of these were provided by the embassy."
As soon as Zhang Jie heard this, he knew which embassy it was.
Since they provided it, the quality was naturally beyond question.
"Then the next step is how to rescue him." Zhang Jie looked at Ross.
Ross pulled out another file and extracted several photos from it.
"These are the high-definition satellite photos they provided."
Ross placed the photos on the table, then pointed with his finger. "This is what their base looks like. In the center of the desert, there's a small town."
"But to enter this town, you must break in from the north. This area has the weakest defenses, but it also has the most clutter."
Ross pointed at the location and said to all the team members, "The danger is extremely high, so one person needs to clear the way in the armored vehicle."
Everyone present understood the meaning of this sentence. If someone needed to clear the way, then that person's protection would be the worst, as he would need to expose his upper body to operate the autocannon on the armored vehicle.
"I'll do it. I'll be in the first vehicle." Christmas immediately raised his hand, indicating that he should do it, and Caesar was the next to raise his hand.
"How can I miss out on something so fun? I'll take the second vehicle."
And just like that, the heavy gunner positions were decided?
Just like that, the seven people were divided into two groups, with Zhang Jie following in the first vehicle.
"Let's get ready to depart. We need to be quick." Ross clapped his hands, and everyone stood up and began checking their equipment.
Zhang Jie's equipment was quite comprehensive.
Given the desert environment, he chose an AK74M assault rifle as his primary weapon, an MP5 submachine gun as his secondary weapon, a Beretta M9A1, and a backup Pistol, an MP9.
He opted for a full set of tactical vest armor combined with a bulletproof vest. After all, they were going to rescue someone from inside a terrorist organization, and all sorts of stray bullets could be deadly, so these protective devices were essential.
His tactical vest carried 84.
As for the magazines, there's no need to mention them; they were fully loaded.
Afterward, everyone exited the room and went outside. Two armored vehicles, painted in gray camouflage, were parked outside.
"Please, everyone, you must bring Shen Guanghua back safely." The woman bowed to them. The group said nothing, split into two teams, and boarded the armored vehicles.
The armored vehicles then started and followed the GPS in that direction.
The two armored vehicles sped through the jungle. As they got closer to the desert, the jungle thinned out until only an endless desert remained.
The two armored vehicles continued to race rapidly in the direction of the GPS coordinates.
The bumping made Zhang Jie somewhat uncomfortable, but he managed to endure it.
After an unknown amount of time, the armored vehicles finally reached the vicinity of the target. At this point, the two armored vehicles were hiding behind a sand dune.
Ross and Yin Yang got out of the vehicles and observed with binoculars, quickly spotting the town two kilometers away.
Rod also deployed his drone for high-altitude reconnaissance. Low altitude was easily detected, but at high altitude, it was affected by dust, so the image was a bit blurry. However, that was fine; being able to see the general situation was enough.
In addition to a large number of armed militants distributed in the core area, they also found armed militants stationed on the outskirts. Compared to the core area, they were sparsely distributed and few in number, serving more as sentries.
"The town's area should be quite large, but judging by the distribution of their personnel, the number of people inside is estimated to be over 150."
Ross's tone was a bit heavy.
The gap between reality and the ideal state was indeed too great.
Ross, back in the armored vehicle, discussed with his team members.
"With so many people, if we force our way in, can we quickly rescue the person and then quickly evacuate?"
Based on the current understanding of the situation, it didn't seem very optimistic.
However, fortunately, the town was large enough that their forces couldn't completely cover the entire town. So, they should be able to enter from another side first and then force their way in.
As for the time of the breakthrough and the speed of evacuation, they would have to rely on themselves.
Soon, the group discussed and came up with a relatively complete combat plan.
Ross would drive the first armored vehicle directly into the town from the north, quickly rush to the location where the scientist was held, and get the scientist into the vehicle.
The second armored vehicle would follow behind, providing observation, lookout, and cover.
After rescuing the scientist, they would quickly evacuate.
Once this plan was finalized, everyone began to prepare.
They re-checked their equipment and the status of the vehicles. After refueling the vehicles, they started the engines.
Everyone connected their headsets and entered real-time intercom mode.
Rod also deployed a second drone to replace the first, as his aerial view was crucial as the team's high-tech specialist.
This also meant that he couldn't get out of the vehicle and engage the militants, so the second vehicle was destined to maintain a distance from the first.
"Go! Go! Go!"
Ross issued the command, and both vehicles started simultaneously, accelerating faster and faster towards the town two kilometers ahead.
In the rolling yellow sands of the desert, two plumes of dust were rapidly approaching the town.
The sentries on the north side of the town quickly noticed the anomaly and immediately reported the unusual situation via walkie-talkie.
The two armored vehicles, trailing dust, rapidly approached, directly smashing through the barriers outside the town and rushing inside.
Both armored vehicles were encased in sturdy armor, and the lead armored vehicle was particularly formidable; if anyone were in front of it, it could even be split in half.
After quickly rushing into the town like this, the two armored vehicles maintained an extremely close distance, rapidly approaching the direction where the hostage was held with almost synchronized movements.
Due to the suddenness of the event, the group of armed militants hadn't even had time to organize resistance when the two armored vehicles had already burst into the small town.
Ross, who was driving, glanced at the GPS positioning information and then said, "Are you ready, big boys?"
"Of course!"
