It was half past four in the morning, and it was not yet dawn.
The night sky in Afghanistan is clear and starry.
Long Yun leaned on the board of the carriage, looked up at the sky outside the car, and thought to himself that this country would be a peaceful paradise if there was no war.
This reminded Long Yun of when he was a child, whenever he was lonely, or when he thought of his parents who he had never met, he would run to the beach next to the mangrove forest not far from the orphanage to look up at the starry sky.
After being too empty for a while, Long Yun immediately pulled his mind back to reality, this is a habit he has formed in his years of mercenary career, as long as he is on the battlefield, he is like a vigilant cheetah, the hair on his neck is always stalked, and he is always vigilant.
Originally, I went to find the Holy Church, but I didn't expect things to go wrong, and by mistake I actually saved a team of American troops who were under siege, and now it has become a cultural relics guard.
Long Yun was most puzzled by why the CIA was interested in the head of the Bamiyan Buddha, which was something that UNESCO should be concerned about, not one of the world's most powerful intelligence agencies.
What's more, a group of action team members were also sent to escort them, which seemed a bit grand.
His gaze fell on the wooden box in the car, and the warning sign of nuclear radiation was prominently pasted on it, it was simply three hundred taels of silver here, if it wasn't for avoiding unnecessary trouble, Long Yun really seemed to pry open it to see if it was really a Buddha's head.
"Captain Long, there's news about what you asked me to verify."
Jon walked from the front of the car to the back of the car and sat next to Long Yun, "The front command didn't know that the CIA had such an operation here. ” "Actually, I can guess it."
Long Yun said: "If it was a serious operation, it is estimated that it would not be so sneaky and only send such a few people over, and if it is not good, it will be escorted with great fanfare."
I think this is a black ops from the CIA, and we just ran into it. ” "It doesn't matter, aren't we going to Bagram Air Base too" Jon took out his gum and handed it to Long Yun, and he also took one and threw it into his mouth and chewed it, "It's just a favor." ” Long Yun chewed chewing gum, didn't hum, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and there seemed to be a shadow hanging over his heart, no matter how he lingered.
Every time I feel like this, nothing good happens, and it's quite accurate, and Long Yun sometimes hates his own intuition that is extremely accurate.
He stood up, walked to the back of the cab, lifted the tarp and looked ahead.
It was pitch black on the silent road, and there were black lights around it, so I pulled down the night vision goggles and looked at it carefully, but there seemed to be no movement.
"Leonard, pay attention to what's ahead, I always feel that something is wrong."
Long Yun radioed Sergeant Leonard, the machine gunner sitting in the cab.
"Don't worry, I'm watching," Leonard said, "and there's not a single bird around, let alone the Taliban." ” Long Yun was a little relieved and returned to his position at the back of the car.
"Are you a little nervous" Gege looked at Long Yun walking around in the carriage and couldn't help but say.
Long Yun shook his head, "I hope I'm nervous, and you don't want to think about it, the Taliban have been exterminating Buddha since March, and they have also released a video of blowing up the Bamiyan Buddha, and now there is suddenly a well-preserved Buddha head, don't you think it's strange?"
"What's so strange, these extremist organizations like to resell cultural relics to make money, aren't there Japanese willing to pay money to buy the Buddha, I think they are negotiating terms with the Japanese, it is impossible to sell the entire Buddha, it is a good idea to sell a Buddha head."
Gege said.
Long Yun sat down against the carriage board, sighed and said, "It's as simple as you think."
If that's the case, it's not surprising that they can mobilize so many elite soldiers to intercept this convoy and dispatch Mi-24 in addition, the CIA has always been unprofitable, and you say that they control Cocaine in South America or secretly escort tablets in Afghanistan, I'm not surprised, when did those spy chiefs get interested in antiquities and send a black ops team over" For Long Yun's rhetorical question, Gege was suddenly dumbfounded, indeed, this thing seems to be really weird.
"Okay, there's no need for us to argue about that."
Captain Jon said, "We don't need to get involved in the CIA's affairs, which are very troublesome. ” As soon as his words landed, a cannon sound came from a distance, and then the sound of a cannonball piercing the air was heard.
"Artillery fire is coming" Long Yun warned on the radio, he felt his heart shrink, his intuition really came true, and the Taliban seemed to be not going to give up the Buddha head in the car.
Is this thing a Buddha head Long Yun glanced at the huge wooden box, and was even more suspicious.
Boom The flames exploded next to the first truck full of corpses in front of it, and a powerful wave of air overturned the car and plunged headlong into a ditch on the side of the road.
"What is it" said Gege "howitzer" "It's the tank's main gun," Jon was an experienced veteran, and immediately judged from the power of the explosion and the sound of the cannon being discharged.
"It's really haunting."
Long Yun glanced at Gege, "You believe it, I said that the Taliban will not give up what is in our car so easily." 939 squeaked, and a sudden brake came, and Long Yun almost crashed into the box.
"Don't stop" Long Yun was anxious, "Don't stop the car stupid driver, this is an ambush in the search for death" Sure enough, everyone saw countless heat source highlights on the hillsides on both sides in the night vision device, and it was obvious that these people had been lying in ambush here for a long time, waiting for this moment.
The truck roared again, roaring down the road.
"We can't leave our companions behind," Jon looked at the truck with corpses left behind and several soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division on it, leaving them here would be the equivalent of giving them to the Taliban as prisoners, and they might end up being killed.
"Jon, don't be stupid, you and I both know that if you stop, we'll all have to get in."
Long Yun said, "As long as we stop, we are a live target, let alone saving people, we can't save ourselves."
"Fuck" Jon was so angry that he slammed his fist on the board.
The 249 paratrooper light machine gun was mounted on the window, constantly firing at the Taliban soldiers on the nearby hillside.
Everyone leaned against the shutter and shot outside.
"There's a tank up ahead," Leonard exclaimed over the radio.
Long Yun rushed to the front of the carriage, lifted the tarpaulin and looked ahead, and in his sight, two tanks were lying in the middle of the road, blocking the road. 55 medium tanks.
Although this tank has backward indicators and old models, it is a nightmare in front of infantry detachments without heavy weapons.
Boom The fire of the tank's main gun flashed, and another shell whistled
