Chapter 236 Preparations and Beginning to Engage the Enemy

Sherbeck's words made Jack even more confused. The Jason and Sonny he mentioned were obviously SEAL Team B who had briefly cooperated before, "But aren't you PMC?"

Sherbeck smiled, showing his white teeth, "Yes, we are both retired Navy SEALs, and Jason and Sonny are our old friends."

"They said you were a nice guy and asked us to bring you something."

As he spoke, he threw a backpack over. Jack opened it and couldn't help grinning. Inside was a complete set of tactical accessories that were exactly the same as last time, a Fast tactical helmet, a Comtac-I headset, and a pair of Gatorz tactical goggles.

The weapon is still an old acquaintance. In addition to the original Schmidt-Bender scope, the HK417 with a 16-inch barrel is also equipped with an additional holographic scope. Apparently someone has thoughtfully considered his close combat needs.

This time there is also an additional MK24 pistol that Seals love most, a .45ACP pistol with a capacity of 12 rounds. It comes with a red dot scope and a silencer.

The division of labor among these five PMCs is quite clear. Machine gunner Isaac carries the paratrooper version of the FN M249 squad machine gun.

Sniper Lake brought two guns, a G28E that can be regarded as an upgraded version of HK417 and a Barrett M107A1.

The other three all use the same precise shooter version of the HK417 as him, but except for the captain Shebek, the other two carry an additional M320 grenade launcher.

This makes the ammunition they carry very uniform. In the ammunition box, except for a large number of standard transparent plastic magazines of 20 rounds of 7.62X51 mm NATO ammunition used by HK417, and some 50-round plastic drum magazines.

Then there are the neat 200-round standard drum of 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition, as well as the .50 bullets used by Barrett M107A1 and a small number of armor-piercing incendiary bombs.

In addition, there are 40mm grenade ammunition, some "this is the enemy" and defensive grenades.

Jack used some machine gun bullets. The CQ-A5 assault rifle he seized used the same 5.56x45 mm NATO bullet. There was nothing wrong with the gun itself and it was well maintained.

However, the quality of the captured bullets was not very good, and the rusty spots made people really uneasy. After replenishing the bullets, they were directly straddled behind their backs as secondary weapons.

Of course, what was airdropped was not only weapons, but also body armor and tactical vests. All passengers had a body armor, and only Jack, Gaspare and Fallen Brother had bulletproof plates, tactical helmets and tactical vests. There are combatants.

Sherbeck greatly appreciated the preparations made by everyone. Although it was a bit of a show, it really boosted everyone's morale.

Of course, some people questioned why helicopters could not be directly sent to pick them up from a nearby military base.

The explanation I received was that even a C-130 airdrop would be extremely risky. No one dared to risk the second Black Hawk crash by sending a helicopter directly to the island. If it was shot down when leaving, then It's not a matter of sending in another team of seals.

The next work was even harder, and even the women came to help.

The lining of the airdrop box and the buffer were all made of sandbag jackets. There was no sand in the abandoned mine, but there were enough brass ore pipes, so everyone helped to fill the sandbags.

The pickup truck once again turned into a transport truck, pulling the chalcopyral ore from the roofless warehouse of the mine to the small building. Shebek installed a simple pulley set on the roof of the building to transport the ore to the roof and load it. Bag bunker.

There are not many sandbags, and everyone's physical strength is limited. Except for the luxurious sniper positions on the roof, there are only a few piled up at the windows on the other floors. There are slightly more sandbags on the second floor, where the main machine guns are. Shooting position.

Although it is not clear what weapons and equipment the "Abu Zaev" organization has, judging from the equipment owned by the Philippine government, there must be RPG or 40-gun fire. In case one or two rounds are fired, these sandbags are Their lifeline.

A solid concrete building is not afraid of being hit by a few RPG rounds, but if there is a lack of bunkers inside the building, resulting in shrapnel from the incoming grenade flying around, it will be a nightmare for everyone inside the building.

In the corridor on the fourth floor, passengers used remaining sandbags to build several bunkers. In the event of a battle, this would be a refuge for all non-combatants.

The diesel generator on the first floor has been replenished with a small amount of diesel and is running rumblingly. Bree Terry, a small internet celebrity, has now become a big internet celebrity. Her job is to record everything on the scene and send it to Garcia.

After these videos were mosaiced by Garcia, they were forwarded to Tyler Kelly's Los Angeles Channel 8 News, where countless people paid attention to these plane crash survivors.

From time to time on the Internet, some Hollywood stars come out to support them and urge the government to provide rescue as soon as possible. Jack knows with his ass that Zoe is using the resources of the Anderson family in California.

In the afternoon, before the usual heavy rain came, everyone finally finished the preparations. Everyone got an MRE ration and ate it with a frown.

Lake, the sniper in charge of security on the roof, has reported several sightings. It is obvious that this place has been targeted, but he does not know when the other party will take action.

Jack endured nausea and ate the air-dropped rations from the US military. He mixed some water with the concentrated juice and drank several sips before he finally stopped himself from vomiting.

"We have to hold on for at least 18 hours before Jason and the others arrive. Your exposure strategy is very effective. There are rumors that the 'Milius' destroyer at the Hawaii military port has been dispatched."

Xie Beike took the initiative to find a few people and reported what he knew.

At this time, he was in awe of the two FBI agents. From what he saw with his own eyes, Captain Torrance was obviously taking the lead in name only.

The fact that these passengers and crew, who were strangers to each other more than a day ago, are firmly united and able to obey orders without complaint is obviously inseparable from these two FBI agents who are said to be psychological experts.

Sherbeck had participated in more than a dozen hostage rescue operations, large and small, both before and after his retirement, but this was the first time he had seen civilians who actively cooperated like today.

He had been mentally prepared to deal with a group of difficult guys while busy setting up fortifications.

What they didn't expect was that as soon as they landed, someone rushed up in a car and helped them drag back two heavy airdrop boxes.

After opening the airdrop box, no one was fighting for it, and everyone consciously began to move materials, stacking food, medicine, fuel, and ammunition in pre-designated areas.

Then they packed sandbags and built fortifications with the PMCs. After everyone was done, the three stewardesses had already unpacked the MRE rations, heated them up, and distributed them to everyone.

Incredibly, Shebek felt that all three of his views were shocked.

"Take the time to rest. It's the calm before the storm."

As soon as Jack finished speaking, heavy raindrops began to fall.

The crew members and passengers have done the best they can. Now that the seal is on its way, it means that a rescue plan has been formulated.

All he could do next was to cooperate with the PMCs to hold on to the small building until the seals arrived.

As the rain gradually stopped, the atmosphere in the building gradually became tense. Jiejie comforted the passengers and hid in the corridor built with sandbags on the fourth floor.

The woman and the four rescued local girls were placed on the inside, and the men were on the outside. They also left some space as much as possible and prepared emergency medicines.

The three flight attendants have all received basic first aid training. Once someone is injured, they will act as a medical team under the leadership of Jiejie.

Jack was placed on the top floor, and the Barrett M107A1 was temporarily given to him to operate, because Junma, the leader of the guerrillas, was said to be a good sniper, and to eliminate snipers, in addition to fire coverage, the only way to eliminate snipers is to bully others when there are more people. .

Jack spent all the gold coins he had recently accumulated on his sniper rifle skills, and reached Mastery in one go. Then he fired two shots at the mine to the north, and successfully convinced Sherbeck with two accurate shots from a thousand meters away.

The first floor is defended by Fallen Brother and Gaspare. There is the least pressure there. Before a large number of enemies break through the machine gun blockade, they only need to deal with the fish that slip through the net.

On the second floor is Isaac, the machine gunner, and another assaulter named Mo who doubles as his secondary shooter.

On the third floor are Sherbeck, who is in charge of the command, and a team member named Wells.

There are no fire points arranged on the fourth floor because civilians are hidden inside, and the less it attracts enemy fire, the better.

Today's heavy rain seemed to end suddenly. Not long after, Shebek's voice came from the team channel.

"The Predator drone is in position, and a convoy was found heading towards us 5 kilometers away, including 6 Nissan pickup trucks and an unknown number of people."

Obviously, the guerrillas who took two hostages yesterday finally realized that something was wrong, or maybe a villager tipped them off. In any case, these guys are here now.

These PMCs are worthy of being military contractors of the US military. The Predator drones took off from the Lenvia Air Force Base in northern Mindanao, the closest place. The team directly and seamlessly connected to the command chain of the US military through military tablets.

"Saw them."

Fifteen minutes later, Jack and sniper Lake, who were hiding on the roof of the building, spotted the approaching pickup truck at the same time.

The location of this abandoned mine is quite good, with a mountain to the north and a primitive jungle at the foot of the mountain. Now with drones to help monitor it, there is almost no need to worry about anyone coming from the north.

There is a slightly wider dirt road and several small roads in the south of the mine leading to the outside world, directly connected to the main road they used to make an emergency landing.

This means that the enemy has limited attack directions, and can basically only attack from three directions: southwest, due south, and southeast.

Before that, they had to withstand the firepower of the small building to tear down the seemingly tattered barbed wire fence on the outside.

Of course, the guerrillas also had their advantages. The target of the small building was too obvious and too close to the rainforest. Although Jack and Jiejie had mobilized the passengers to clear a shooting area as much as possible, the open area was still less than 100 meters away.

The enemy can hide in the jungle, rely on their numerical advantage to focus fire on the small building, and give full play to their random shooting skills.

"Waiting for the opponent to get closer. They don't know the existence of our team. This is our biggest advantage in the early stage."

Shebek continued that the first wave of enemies was not difficult to deal with. What he was worried about was the subsequent influx of reinforcements. The "Abu Zaev" organization would never tolerate the presence of other armed forces on its territory.

It was now basically certain that this small guerrilla group did have a lot of veterans. Although they could not see the situation behind them through the windows blocked by wooden boards, the sandbag bunkers piled on the roof still caught their attention.

Six pickup trucks parked on the small road more than 200 meters away from the small building. They spread out as much as possible. A few of the guys leading the team drove the others out of the trunk while shouting and cursing, and put their hands on each other. weapons.

The pickup truck carrying Lao Ganma that Jack had seen yesterday was parked more than 200 meters away, pointing towards the small building through the gaps in the leaves.

The long-haired man, suspected to be Junma, the leader of the gang, jumped out of the car with an NSG-1 sniper rifle in his hand, hid behind a sideways pickup truck, and was preparing to draw the gun.

We are not filming a movie now, so there is no need to save the BOSS until the final showdown. Once this guy looks through the scope and discovers that there is a sniper on the roof, or even preemptively strikes, it will not be fun.

"Shebek~~applied to fire, and found the opponent's heavy machine gun and sniper!"

Jack lengthened his voice, waiting for Shebek's agreement.

"Lake?" Shebek asked his sniper quickly.

"I can't shoot through the pickup truck, give me the heavy machine gun." Lake and Jack quickly assigned their respective targets.

"The sniper fires freely while the others maintain their position."

As Sherbeck's order was issued, the two sniper rifles hidden on the roof of the building opened fire almost simultaneously.

The gunfire of the G28E is not loud, and is much clearer than the dull gunfire of the Barrett M107A1 that seems to shake people's hearts.

Under normal circumstances, the speed of sound propagating in the air is 340 meters per second, so within this distance of more than 200 meters, the gunshot and the bullet reached the target at the same time.

"Bang"

A carrot-thick 12.7 bullet passed through the thin iron sheets on the left and right sides of the pickup truck's back compartment, and continued to carry powerful kinetic energy, penetrating the more fragile human body.

Junma, the leader of the guerrillas, just put his eyes close to the scope of his beloved gun. He felt a pain in his chest and instantly lost consciousness.

The two henchmen next to him were so frightened that they almost peed their pants. One second they were fine, but the next second a column of blood spurted out from behind their leader, and then he collapsed to the ground.

They hurriedly tried to reach out to lift him up, but found that it was no longer necessary. A hole the size of a bowl appeared in the chest of the leader Junma, and the human tissue inside had followed the bullet and splashed several meters away. Outside.

The members of "Abu Zaev" suddenly panicked, and no one even noticed that their leader died at the same time.

At the same time, the machine gunner operating the heavy machine gun on the armed pickup truck had a ball of blood exploding from his head, and fell backwards into the car.

"Bang" Jack only fired once, but immediately removed the magazine and replaced it with another armor-piercing incendiary bomb with a green tip and white ring, pointing it at the unmanned M2 "Lao Ganma" heavy machine gun Fire continuously to destroy it directly.

Yesterday I managed to write a lot of chapters and save them, but I accidentally sent them out. Oh well, I might as well make a bigger chapter today.
