Chapter 261 - Shoot It down for Me (1/2)
Report, report
”Suddenly, someone was shouting outside the tent, and the two soldiers guarding the door curtain inside the tent clenched their guns and raised their vigilance
” What is it
Just say it at the door
” Laurence didn't want a small person to come in and disturb them
” I, our helicopter was shot down
” The voice outside the door was out of breath, and it was obvious that he had just received the news and ran over to report
For afghanistan, where only automatic rifles, grenades, rpg and a few small caliber mortars were used as the main equipment, there was not even a decent large weapon
Having a helicopter, even for civilian use, with heavy machine guns hanging from the hatch, was already a very luxurious lineup
Usually used as a secret weapon
The news of the helicopter being shot down was enough to cause a commotion in the camp
” What shot down
Why are you so careless
Do the people in the valley have anti-air missiles
” Laurence frowned
No matter how civilian the helicopter was, it wasn't a cheap toy
I don't know how many ak-47s I can exchange for
And the only air force that could be used to suppress the entire force was eliminated so quickly, which was obviously unexpected to him
” No, no, the helicopter was not shot down by anti-air weapons, but by fighter jets
” It was as if a stone had fallen into a pond and stirred up a thousand waves
The leaders in the tent jumped up in fright and their chairs were overturned on the ground
Fighter
It was such a distant thing
In the minds of the afghans and the militants fleeing in the neighboring countries, only the united states, china, russia and some powerful countries in europe could have and have the ability to use air combat weapons in other countries and regions
And it was to help those civilians who had almost nothing
How could they have such a big background to own a fighter
There was no more terrible news than this
Many of them had been attacked by airplanes before, and even some of them were afghans, especially members of the Taliban, american fighter jets, british fighter jets, and soviet fighter jets
These people had experienced the huge role that fighter jets could play in the battlefield
Helicopters are nothing, and even armed helicopters may not be a match for professional high-speed fighter jets
High-speed, high firepower, as long as there are enough bullets, or even a fighter jet can destroy these hundreds of people without damage
Many of the faces in the tent had changed color, and the high lethality of high-tech weapons left an indelible impression on them
” How is that possible
Is there an airport in the valley
You
~ come in and talk
” Laurence's usually calm demeanor finally lost its former calmness
How could this happen
He had a feeling that the situation was getting out of control
” Yes
Yes
” A guy in a russian military uniform came in submissively
This place was a motley army
It was impossible to have a military uniform
He didn't know where he got the uniform
It was dirty and old
According to all the information gathered, the only people in the valley were civilians and mercenaries, not even a proper paramilitary organization, but mostly farmers, herdsmen, blacksmiths, barefoot doctors, and some teachers, with the highest academic qualifications not exceeding high school
What's more, the high-tech weapons such as fighter jets need to be maintained
People, equipment, money, and venues are all extremely demanding
Where are the pilots, the mechanics, the electronics engineers, the communications staff, the logistics, and this poor place where people who can live comfortably in a foreign country with high wages will come to settle down in this kind of place
If so, the world would be ridiculous
If they had such power, these people would have to travel far and wide
Selling the plane would be enough for them to recruit soldiers and buy horses to occupy a large area of land and become their own comfortable nest
If it was a Air force base set up here by other forces, then Laurence's face immediately changed
He could not imagine it anymore
With so many hundreds of miscellaneous soldiers, even if the other side added a zero, it would not be enough to clean up the other side, leading people to attack this Air force base, almost no difference from looking for death
Two” stryker” that disappeared last night and were nowhere to be found Wheeled armored vehicles and powerful shock bombs
Yes, it must be
There must be a powerful organization with a secret base here, and those civilians who have migrated thousands of miles away, probably have nothing to do with the base, or acquaintances
If that was the case, everything that happened would be explained
The leaders watched with their own eyes as the white face of the interim commander-in-chief changed again and again, as if they had speculated something terrible, and their faces became very unsightly
” What kind of plane is it
Have you seen it clearly
Do you have any marks on your body
” Lorenz asked again
He needed to determine what kind of power the other party belonged to in order to treat the illness
He hoped it wouldn't get too stiff
Laurence guessed that there was already a master in the valley
Before things got out of hand, Laurence had a plan to stop the attack and withdraw his troops
The other side was so powerful, and there were fighter jets, which meant that they were no longer able to deal with them
The best way to protect yourself is to leave before the other party retaliates
If necessary, sacrifice a few unlucky people to appease the other party's anger
Just as Laurence's eyes were searching for the unlucky ones who could be the scapegoats among the leaders, the guy who came to report stuttered and said,” it's a silver-gray' color' plane without any signs
There's a propeller in front of the nose, not a jet plane
”” What
