Chapter 201 Sinaloa Group
As soon as Gu Ji said these words, the atmosphere suddenly became a little stiff.
After a brief exchange before, he learned that the other party's name was Riddell, who was from the United States and worked as an electronic hardware engineer in a technology company.
Betty also turned her head and looked at Riddle. She also saw that the other person was completely "sub-healthy" sitting in an office.
Because anyone who knows some common sense about running knows to use the support reaction force and inertia in the movement of footsteps to keep moving forward to keep the body stable and save energy, especially the control of breathing and rhythm.
But not only did Riddell's steps be messy, but he also breathed with his mouth open and gasped. This would not only cause oral water to be lost too quickly, but also increase the risk of the patient's airway being irritated, causing bifurcation.
Riddle suddenly straightened up, looked directly into Gu Ji's eyes, and pursed his lips with a smile.
"Haha, if I don't lie and come out with you, why should I stay there and wait to die?"
"Mr. Riddle, what do you mean?"
When Betty heard the second half of the sentence, her tone suddenly became cold and serious.
Riddle looked at her and was slightly startled.
"No way, don't you really know? Terrorists took us to Mazatlan. Only drug traffickers would do this. This is the home of the Sinaloa drug cartel. They also used microwave weapons to burn all our equipment. Communication microchips, until rescue comes, everyone will be kidnapped and killed by those cruel drug traffickers!"
"What!?"
Betty's face turned pale with fright, and she immediately turned to look at Gu Ji, "Mr. Yasen, is what he said true? Does Mr. Bolton know about this?"
"They must have known about it a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't be carrying guns with them."
Riddell pursed his lips and motioned her to look at the quick-draw gun holster on Gu Ji's waist.
To be honest, Gu Ji was not surprised that this guy could analyze this. He was just a little curious about why Riddle was so sure that the terrorists were using microwave weapons. Is it because of his profession?
"Don't worry, I have asked Bolton to move the passengers and hide them as soon as possible."
"That's good, let's speed up and contact the airline as soon as possible. When support arrives, we will be safe!"
Betty patted her plump chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
But Riddle couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, you can't be so naive, can you? Civil aviation laws stipulate that everything on the plane is under the jurisdiction of the country of nationality. What do you think Panama has to dare to compete with drug lords on the Mexican soil? You underestimate Sinaloa. They are the largest drug trafficking group in the Americas, and the terrorists responsible for the hijacking are just their cannon fodder."
“The real Sinaloa members are well-equipped paramilitary organizations. They have light and heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, large-caliber sniper rifles, unmanned reconnaissance drones and armored vehicles. Unless the Mexican authorities are willing to send elite troops, including the United States Let the Drug Enforcement Administration come together for a joint operation, otherwise there will be no chance at all!”
Betty was speechless.
Gu Ji also knew that Panama's military strength was relatively weak, ranking 132nd in the world and at the bottom.
During the Operation "Force of Justice" in 1989, the United States dispatched the Delta Special Forces to raid Panama. As a result, the Panamanian Defense Forces were quickly broken through without any precautions. The president of the country was also captured within more than 10 days, which can be regarded as a "cushion". ”, making Delta famous in one battle.
Therefore, Riddle's analysis was indeed correct.
Bringing the Mexican authorities and the United States to an end is the only way to resolve this crisis.
However, there were not many Mexican passengers on the plane. The Sinaloa Group was powerful, and it was still unknown whether the Mexican government was willing to send large-scale troops to support it.
but……
Gu Ji turned his head, his eyes burning.
"You seem to know the Sinaloa Group very well!"
"I, isn't this all public information? Just find two reports on the Internet to find out!"
Riddle's eyes were a little dodgey, and he seemed to be hiding something, "Oh, in short, the farther we run now, the better. As long as we can avoid those drug dealers, we will be safe!"
"No, our first mission is to seek support!"
Betty refused. As a crew member, she had the responsibility and obligation to protect the passengers.
Gu Ji thought secretly in his heart.
There must be something wrong with an American electronics engineer who has such a deep understanding of the composition and weapons and equipment of Mexican drug traffickers. Whether he is an accomplice of the man in sunglasses remains to be seen.
Despite his words about staying away from danger, he might actually be secretly guiding them to the drug dealer's lair.
When Gu Ji mentioned a location landmark like the river before, he actually wanted to see Betty and Riddle's reaction.
"Let's go first and talk about it when we get to the river."
He waved his hand, interrupting the quarrel between the two.
The jungle in central Mexico is not particularly difficult. After all, it is dominated by a plateau climate. If it is in the southern or eastern coastal areas, it is a complete virgin tropical rain forest.
"Creak!"
"stop!"
The three of them had just passed through a bush. Gu Ji's ears twitched slightly, his left arm was swinging up and down by his side, and his right hand quickly pulled out the Glock pistol from his waist.
Seeing this scene, Riddle looked overjoyed.
"Mr. Yassen, have you ever been in the rapid reaction force?"
Gu Ji hid behind the tree and glared at him. He held the gun in both hands, pointed the muzzle in the direction of support, and slightly pre-pressed the trigger with his right index finger, instantly entering a battle-ready state.
Betty also hid aside and held her breath, and was so nervous that she picked up a stone from the ground.
A few seconds passed.
The sound got closer and closer, and at the moment when the black shadow appeared, Gu Ji moved the muzzle of his gun upward in an instant.
Over the head!
He looked closely and saw that it was a coati.
"Scared me……"
Betty put down the stone in her hand with relief. Seeing Gu Ji put the gun back skillfully, she remembered what Riddle had said before, so she asked, "Can you use a gun?"
"I was a soldier."
"Great, this way we will be safer. Everything is up to you, Mr. Yasen. Please lead us to survive!"
Riddle didn't hide the joy on his face.
Gu Ji raised his eyebrows slightly.
Being able to use a gun does not necessarily mean that you have been a soldier. Brazil is like the United States. Except for the capital area, other states and provinces do not prohibit guns. And Riddell insisted that he had been to the rapid reaction force, which should be from the subconscious tactics he just made. It can be seen in the gestures.
Ordinary military police don't use tactical gestures. It seems that this guy has a lot of dealings with special forces.
Passing through the bushes, Gu Ji vaguely heard the sound of "clatter".
It's a river!
Riddle excitedly pushed aside the trees in front of him, and suddenly he saw a river nearly a hundred meters wide rushing down from north to south.
Fortunately, we did not choose to ditch on the water.
Otherwise, given the turbulence of the water flow, the aircraft could easily lose control and disintegrate.
"Well! I finally feel comfortable..."
Riddle drank all the water long ago and ran to the river impatiently. He held the cold river water in his hands and washed his face. Then he plunged his head into it and almost fell into the river.
Gu Ji did not rush to leave the jungle, but took out the private binoculars and observed the upstream and downstream of the river.
This thing is really useless at ordinary times, but sometimes it can be of some use.
After confirming that there was no danger, he walked to the river bank.
Betty filled a bottle of water and took a long sip.
"How are you? Did you see any signal towers or people? Which direction should we go?"
"No."
Gu Ji shook his head and said, "Let's go up. Even if we can't find anyone, the nearest city is in the north, so we won't waste time."
Betty nodded in agreement.
Riddle was a little worried, what if he met a drug dealer?
"If there's not a lot of people, I'm responsible for killing them, grabbing the phone, and then contacting the airline."
"What if there are more people?"
"run!"
Gu Ji was too lazy to talk nonsense to Riddle.
The three of them walked north along the river bank. Walking along the bank took much less effort than walking in the jungle. The only thing they had to face was the scorching sun hanging above their heads.
Fortunately, after three o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature was not so high.
At this time, Betty pointed to the edge of the jungle on the right side ahead.
"Mr. Yasen, do you think that is a road?"
"It seems to be true!"
Riddle poked his head and saw the jungle about 100 meters ahead. The weeds and bushes were all bare and extended deep into the jungle.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Gu Ji pulled out his pistol, left the shore and walked close to the edge of the jungle, keeping his eyes on the woods and grass at the intersection.
Especially silhouettes and shadows, which are often the easiest places for enemies to camouflage and hide.
Since he obtained the mark of military penetration, the extra knowledge and ideas in his mind have affected his combat style like instinct.
"This used to be a dirt road to collect water, but it was abandoned."
Walking near the intersection, Gu Ji squatted down and pointed at the soil hidden under the new grass buds. It was obvious that there were ravines formed by repeated rolling of wheels over a long period of time.
Upon hearing that there might be traces of vehicles and people, Betty and Riddle had almost completely opposite expressions.
Walk east along the dirt road, which becomes wider and wider.
Half an hour later, they saw a corner!
"Be careful!"
Gu Ji reminded the two of them, and he quickly hid in the nearby woods, picked up the binoculars, and looked ahead, "Betty, you are responsible for keeping an eye on the left, Riddle, watch behind you."
He quickly arranged a division of labor for the two of them.
Fortunately, the two of them were quite obedient.
After nearly a minute of observation, he was able to determine that there should be an area of mud houses in front of him. The reason why he used the word "area" to describe it was because he saw more than one wall and at least five or six households.
"The front is the housing area. If we're lucky, we can contact the airline. If we're not lucky, it might be a drug dealer's den, but I have a way to deal with them. I just need the cooperation of the two of you!"
Five mud houses, even if five people live in one household, there are only 25 people.
Gu Ji now has two large-area weapons of destruction, [poison needle trap] landmines and VX nerve agent bombs. As long as he is prepared and has an ambush, he may not be unable to succeed in a sneak attack.
"Okay, okay..."
Although Betty was very nervous, as the crew chief, she had also seen a lot of storms and waves, "Mr. Yasen, everything is at your command!"
"You don't need to be afraid. Drug dealers can't just come up and kill people. If you can't hide after you find them, just surrender loudly. Leave everything to me!"
What Gu Ji needs most now is to confirm the housing area goals.
who;
how many people;
Weapons, equipment, and tactical level.
So he asked the two of them to cooperate with him to form a reconnaissance team to infiltrate and find out the details of the target first.
Generally, the front triangle formation or the rear triangle formation is used when marching in hiding. The leader of the reconnaissance team usually walks in the main direction. The members of each team follow the terrain, hearing, and vision to ensure mutual contact and support during the day. No more than 150 meters, no more than 50 meters at night.
But Gu Ji now only has a Glock 17-4 in his hand, with an effective range of 50 meters.
Considering shooting accuracy and concealment, he chose to let Betty and Riddle walk in front, while he was in the rear observation position, maintaining a distance of 30 meters.
"Mr. Yasen, please don't abandon us!"
"Don't worry, if I really wanted to leave you, I would have left long ago!"
Gu Ji finally comforted Riddle.
Immediately, the two of them walked to the left and right in the jungle on both sides of the dirt road.
As the reconnaissance team continued to approach, the layout of the housing area became clearer and clearer. The five earthen houses were arranged in a "Z" shape, with two in the front and one in the back.
Betty and Riddle haven't discovered anything yet. He can only hold a telescope and carefully observe whether there are enemy vehicles and weapons and equipment hidden in front of the trees or in the backlight of the house.
When the sun is particularly strong, you need to pay special attention to the shade.
And often a car can reflect the difference between civilians and criminals, especially in places like Mexico, where drug traffickers' vehicles are generally modified.
While walking, Riddle suddenly squatted down.
Seeing this scene, Gu Ji and Betty also hid themselves. The next second, Riddle found a tree trunk to hide behind, and turned around and kept pointing to his right side.
Gu Ji picked up the telescope and looked at it for a moment, and sure enough, there was a dark shadow flickering.
Since receiving the heading and penetration marks, he has now become very sensitive to distance and detection.
The commonly used distances of 100, 200, 400, and 800 are now engraved in his mind like instinct, and special police officers generally do not need to remember these, because the police's combat distance is usually within a hundred meters.
Based on the visibility and size of the target, judge with the naked eye:
From 50 meters, two eyes can be seen as black dots;
From 100 meters, you can see the appearance of human faces, rifles, machine guns and other weapons and equipment;
The outline of the head and shoulders can be seen at 200 meters;
The color of clothing and infantry weapons can be seen from 300 to 400 meters;
From 700 to 800 meters, you can only see walking or running movements.
Gu Ji put down the telescope. He only saw the target wearing a knitted hat, a white shirt and gray trousers, with dark brown skin. As for weapons, no weapons were found. He was about 500 meters away from him.
He took the poison needle trap mine out of his bag and temporarily put it in his side pocket for emergencies.
Then raise your arms sideways to shoulder height, with your palms facing downwards, and continuously swing downwards to a range of 30 degrees. In tactical gestures, this means "slow down" and also reminds the opponent not to stop.
Riddle can indeed understand tactical moves.
He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, and finally followed the caretaker's instructions and continued to move forward.
After advancing another 100 meters, Gu Ji saw two gray-black creatures pulling a two-wheeled vehicle from the shadows. They were donkeys!
And the figure they discovered just now wearing a knitted hat and holding a sickle in his hand was indeed dressed as a farmer.
Riddle was relieved.
Betty looked overjoyed, thinking she was finally saved.
But Gu Ji still reminded the two of them to stay down and be careful. Maybe these people were just servants serving drug dealers.
Fortunately, no one found any trace of them until they entered the surrounding area.
Gu Ji looked towards the hillside to the left. There was a large area of farmland. At the top of the farmland, there was a very long metal pole, which should be a signal base station.
At least I'm sure there's a cell phone signal here.
He waved to himself, signaling the team to move toward him.
Betty ran over in a hurry.
"Mr. Yasen, is it safe?"
"Not yet, follow me closely in a moment, walk along the wall, and listen to what is said inside..."
Gu Ji clenched his pistol, arched his back and bent his knees, quickly sprang out of the jungle and hid in the backlight shadow of the wall, followed by Betty and Riddle.
The three of them walked along the wall to the door of the earthen house.
Someone happened to be talking in the yard.
He only studied foreign languages for a month with Ding Lan. Central American countries such as Mexico, Guatemala, and Panama City basically speak Spanish. He only knows a dozen rough words, so he looked at Betty, "They are talking... "
"It seems to be talking about too many weeds in the ground and the yield."
"It looks like this is an ordinary village."
Riddle also thought it was safe here.
Gu Ji narrowed his eyes, stood up and knocked on the door.
There was a "Ganelles" sound coming from the yard, and before he could speak, Betty couldn't wait to shout excitedly, a series of Spanish words that he couldn't understand at all.
Gu Ji raised his eyebrows.
"What did you say?"
"I just told him that we are from an outdoor expedition team. We are lost and our mobile phones are out of battery. We would like to borrow the phone."
Betty is indeed a steward, but she is also experienced.
The door opened from the inside, and it was the old Mexican man wearing a knitted hat they had scouted before who appeared. He enthusiastically invited the three of them in.
After a while, a fat aunt in a pink robe came out of the room, carrying a black phone.
Betty thanked the two and quickly dialed a number from memory.
Gu Ji doesn't understand Spanish.
"You stay here and report the situation, so that the airline must obtain support from the Mexican and U.S. governments. It is best to send the Drug Enforcement Administration's FAST Overseas Deployment Consulting and Support Team over. The sooner the better!"
After saying these words, Gu Ji left the yard and began to observe other farmers along the dirt road.
From the name, FAST seems to have nothing to do with special forces, SWAT, etc., but don’t be fooled by the name. This force is definitely one of the top violent departments in the U.S. federal system. Basically, those who train them are responsible for Professional instructors who train Navy SEALs and Green Berets, backed by the U.S. Department of Defense, are one of the top special forces specializing in cross-border drug enforcement.
If the DEA could send it over, the passengers would be at least half as safe.
After Gu Ji walked to the last row of houses, he picked up his telescope and took a look at the hillside. There seemed to be people working on the top of the mountain, but as he moved his eyes to the crops, he felt something was wrong.
He put down the binoculars, subconsciously glanced out of the corner of his eye, and found a curly-haired aunt peeking at him from the back window of the earthen house.
Gu Ji turned his head sharply, scaring the other party and quickly hiding and disappearing.
hiss……
Something's wrong! !
