The waters off the Banana Islands.
Two EH1O1 "Grayback Falcon" multi-purpose helicopters painted with rice flags on the fuselage swept over the sea one after the other, and the leading "Grayback Falcon" carried weapons racks with two Artek2 air-to-surface missiles and two "bighead carp" Stgray torpedoes suspended on them; Another "Grayback Falcon" in addition to the 12 in the nose. 7 mm machine gun with no suspended armament under the wings.
In the cabin of the "Greyback Falcon" hanging empty, Lieutenant Colonel Taylor walked to the door of the monitoring room, glanced at the naval sergeant sitting in front of the surveillance radar, and asked, "Sergeant Connor, what's the matter, isn't it determined that the location is separated, and I haven't found it yet?"
The black sergeant shook his head: "Sir, there's a lot of interference here" He pointed to the very unstable picture and said to Taylor: "I am contacting the aircraft carrier monitoring center and asking them to provide satellite positioning data." ” "Damn" Taylor turned around and walked back into the cabin, glancing irritably at a dozen heavily armed SAS Special Forces soldiers before walking over to the porthole and peering through the wound.
It's the third day that 6o6 has gone missing.
Six hours ago, when the monitoring equipment of the aircraft carrier command center and an airborne early warning aircraft were scanning the sea surface 15o nautical miles west of the Banana Islands, a series of extremely weak radio waves, apparently from the operation of some electronic equipment.
Through a detailed comparison of the equipment in the early warning aircraft, this is now belonging to the British Royal Navy spy ship 6o6 that has been missing for three days, the news came, so that the Sierra Leone military command was very excited, General Hammond, who is in charge of military operations in the whole of Africa, ordered that it must arrive at the sea area where 6o6 is located within 3 hours, and board the ship to search, to find out what happened to the ship.
However, what is frustrating is that the radio waves disappeared in an instant, and then 6o6 disappeared again on all radar monitors, which made General Hammond very angry, the disappearance of an expensive spy ship not only means a loss of money, but the military communication code and data on the ship are the key, if leaked, it will affect the entire British expeditionary force deployed in Africa.
Even more frightening were the ubiquitous military correspondents, who seemed to have smelled something strange in the air these days, with two reporters from the New York Times and The Times calling General Hammond's landline, intentionally or unintentionally asking about the disappearance of the ship.
The 6o6 spy ship, otherwise the ship and navy officers and sailors who would otherwise go missing for no apparent reason will make the headlines of the major newspapers, dealing a political blow to the military operation in Sierra Leone and even having a great impact on the ruling Labour Party, which supports the operation.
Without even waiting for the latest information to arrive, the SAS team members assembled in less than half an hour, took off from the military airfield in Freetown, and flew towards the sea area where the first sonic band appeared.
Hammond's favorite general Taylor was in charge of the search and rescue operation, and he was ordered to fly to the designated sea area as soon as possible, and wait for the latest information from the control room of the "Ark Royal" aircraft carrier command center and the British Ministry of Defense intelligence center while searching.
This time, Taylor led two teams of 36 SAS special forces soldiers, an armed "Grayback Falcon" and a "Grayback Falcon" converted into a search and rescue helicopter, and went straight to the target sea area.
This can be regarded as a luxury lineup in a search and rescue operation, usually SAS is touched in the form of a small team, and dozens of people are dispatched at a time, which shows the importance of this matter from above.
However, it was disappointing that there was no 6o6 at the coordinates where the first radio wave appeared, Taylor felt that his luck was really not very good, and this operation in Sierra Leone encountered some unpredictable and strange events at every step, including the battle near Bo, Taylor was ordered to keep his mouth shut and not mention any details of the incident, and all the news of the operation was researched by I6 and the press office of the Ministry of Defense.
Taylor, who flew into the air, did not leave immediately, in the waters near Africa, the British Royal Navy has no opponent, the military strength of the country here is weak, as long as you see the bright rice flag on the fuselage, no one dares to provoke.
He took two helicopters around the sea and circled, but could not find any trace of 6o6, and the pilot told Taylor that if 6o6 could not be found within half an hour, everyone had to retreat, otherwise there would not be enough gasoline for the return flight.
Lieutenant Colonel Taylor looked anxiously at his watch by the porthole, and the glow-in-the-dark military watch showed that twenty minutes had passed, and that the pilot was about to turn around and fly back in ten minutes.
"Lieutenant Colonel Taylor" Sergeant Connor suddenly shouted excitedly, his head sticking out of the door of the monitoring room, and a mouthful of crazy white teeth appeared on his dark face, "6o6 has been found" Taylor lost the demeanor of a senior officer and almost threw himself at the door: "How far away from us" "It's not far, it won't take three minutes away, there was a wave frequency leak just now, I and the command center captured the signal at the same time, this time it's absolutely no problem" Connor suddenly shook his head in confusion and said: "It's strange, it stands to reason that we have already searched that sea area, why didn't it appear just now" A dark cloud crossed Taylor's mind, and on the other "Greyback Falcon", there was a random agent of i6, and judging from this briefing, there was also an agent of i6 on 6o6.
The intelligence guy in i6 appears in Africa so often, is there any connection with the dragon he saw near Bo?
Taylor immediately realized that he couldn't think any further.
Few officers from SAS at his time could achieve his position, and next year he will be promoted to the rank of colonel, and if it goes well, it is estimated that he will have the opportunity to win the post of general, which is the greatest reward and great honor for a soldier.
It's not that Taylor is much better than his fellow SAS comrades in terms of military command and combat skills, but that he understands the word politics better than his own contemporaries.
There are some things that should be asked, and it is better not to mention a word that should not be asked, so that these things rot in the stomach and in the brain.
With such frequent intervention by i6, and the scene he saw on the battlefield of Bo, Taylor knew that this would be another record of operations stamped "top secret" and sent to an unknown institution for archiving. 6o6 is on, and it is estimated that it will be on board in three minutes.
Taylor put all the things he shouldn't have thought about and returned to his SAS men: "I reiterate our discipline, after boarding, our action is to make sure that we find the crew of the ship, whether they are alive or dead, whether they are alive or dead, whether they are alive or dead, and if they are alive, they will see the corpses, check every corner of the ship, look for any enemies, and if there is an enemy, at least leave me a living mouth" "Sir, if the enemy resists fiercely, can you leave no one alive?"
asked one of the team members, raising his head.
Another shadow swept over Taylor's mind, and he was about to say no, but suddenly the dragon from Bocheng sounded again.
"Yes, if you really can't, you must save yourself first" “yessir”:
