Chapter 209 Sudden Firefight
As soon as he finished speaking, the white Toyota SUV turned around and drove deep into the wild.
Milburn had been a scout before, so he naturally understood that this was probably a sentinel for drug dealers.
After all, Torreon is so close to the power of the Sinaloa drug cartel, and there are drug traffickers almost everywhere. Maybe someone has already informed their superiors the moment they came out of the police headquarters.
"Catch up and force the car to stop!"
"yes!"
After the order was given, the Humvee M1152 light armored vehicle immediately turned around. The rough-patterned off-road tires rolled over the grass on the edge of the state road, roaring like a beast, and rushed into the mountains.
Ordinary civilian SUVs certainly cannot compete with modified armed vehicles for off-road use.
Seeing that the distance between the two parties was getting closer, the drug dealer finally became anxious, and a dark gun barrel protruded from the window on the rear right, clicking...
A gunshot rang out.
One of the bullets splashed on the outer steel plate of the Humvee armored vehicle, making a "ding" sound, just like being bitten by a mosquito, without any impact.
This guy was specially ordered by the Mexican government to fight against drug trafficking groups. Even though it is just a light armored vehicle, it can easily withstand 7.62mm machine guns and rifle fire. In addition to landmines and bombs, grenades, and 155mm flying nearby. Shell fragments are enough to handle.
"Permission to shoot!"
"Fire!!"
The moment Milburn's order rang out from the earphones, everyone in Gu and Gu heard the roar of the machine gunner from the back of the truck. The first three armed pickup trucks separated from the convoy consciously and dispersed in a "pin" shape, with their guns pointed at the Toyota. SUV, firing heavily.
"Ceasefire!"
Milburn shouted.
The siege of fire lasted only about two seconds.
The target vehicle swayed from side to side and stopped in place. The glass of the trunk was completely shattered, and the door panels were filled with bullet holes.
Gu Ji even vaguely saw the blood splattered on the roof and side windows.
Although the armed pickup truck uses a light machine gun.
However, the reinforced heavy barrel brings a longer gunpowder combustion stroke and durability, which can make it have higher power, range, and rate of fire than ordinary automatic rifles.
To deal with civilian vehicles is to crush them.
"Hey!" The convoy parked around the white Toyota, and the doors opened. Milburn led seven or eight police officers armed with G36 rifles and approached the target from all directions.
"Two targets found in the back seat and confirmed dead!"
"The driver is dead!"
"Someone's moving in the co-pilot! Someone's moving!"
Although the four of them were sitting in the armed pickup truck, they could still hear the team communication of Milburn and others through the single-ear tactical headphones.
"Put down the gun! Put your hands up!"
"Don't do anything stupid! Show your weapon and open the car door and come out immediately!!"
At least three muzzles and two machine guns were aimed at the drug dealer guy in the co-pilot's white vest and hat.
Under Milburn's repeated warnings, the guy in the white vest slowly raised the silver pistol in his hand, slowly reached under the door panel with his other hand, and pushed the door open a gap.
Seeing this scene, Riddle finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but grinned and joked.
"It seems that the combat capability of the Mexican National Guard is no worse than that of the FBI SWAT. They have a full sense of security. We finally don't have to be afraid of those drug dealers anymore!"
"Shut up."
Gu Ji frowned, pressed the intercom button, and reminded: "Captain Milburn, be careful that the other party may have a grenade hidden in his hand."
He didn't know if Milburn heard it. Anyway, in his sight, Milburn was still persuading the drug dealer:
"Yes, that's it! Surrender is your only..."
"careful!"
In an instant, a sudden change occurred.
The moment the car door opened, the drug dealer in the white vest suddenly pressed the muzzle of the pistol in his right hand. Fortunately, Milburn yelled and pulled the trigger at the same time as the two policemen.
Before the drug dealer had a chance to shoot, countless bullets beat him into pieces.
Blood splattered on the broken side window, covering the drug dealer's facial expression.
Seeing the body slowly sliding down from the crack of the car door, a police officer was about to speak to confirm that the target was dead, but the moment it landed, a round black object slipped out from the drug dealer's left hand.
"Run! There are grenades!"
"Captain, be careful!!"
At the critical moment, a police officer tackled Milburn.
With a "boom", the shock wave of the explosion mixed with the flying debris swept all around in an instant. For a while, the smoke and dust filled the air, and the screams of the police were also heard.
"Captain! Captain!!"
"ah--!"
The police nearby rushed into the smoke and dragged Milburn and another police officer out.
Fortunately, Milburn was not injured, but the other policeman who knocked him down was not so lucky. Although he was wearing a body armor, his lower body was facing the explosion zone, and the combat pants on the back of his thighs were torn to pieces by the shock wave. Five or six small steel balls were embedded in the flesh, dripping with blood.
If they hadn't maintained a tactical safety distance of five to six meters, both legs would have rotted away completely like the corpse of the drug dealer at the center of the explosion.
Riddle's face turned slightly pale as he listened to the police's screams.
"Fake, I take back what I just said. This, this is a group of lunatics who are not afraid of death. Isn't there no death penalty in Mexico? Why do drug dealers...hey? Old Yassen, what are you going to do!"
Before he could finish his words, Gu Ji suddenly opened the car door and rushed out.
"First aid kit, bandage him immediately and send it to the car!" Milburn was breathing heavily, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and he was obviously murderous. He dove into the Toyota car, which was full of corpses and blood, and groped around. Cell phones and belongings on drug dealers.
"Captain Milburn, captain? Do you have a drone?" Gu Ji came up from behind.
Hearing the noise, Milburn turned around hastily. His body was covered with splashes of blood, and his tactical gloves were also covered with greasy plasma: "Why did you get down? Damn it, I should have listened to your warning earlier. I didn't know that the car was on the road." Are there any explosives?"
"It's okay. You left a sufficient safe distance. The police officer's injuries were not serious."
Gu Ji glanced at the policeman who was being dragged away, and then pointed to the mountainous area ahead: "Captain Milburn, I suspect that the drug dealer cannon fodder ran away when he saw us, probably to lure us to other places. After the drug dealer caught the passengers, It’s impossible to take the dirt road all the time, so you will definitely choose the state road. I guess they are not far nearby. If you have a drone, you can try to search the mountains and forests!”
"Seth! Seth!"
Milburn raised an eyebrow. Although he did not answer, he called his teammates with action, "Use a drone to scout the forest area ahead immediately!"
"yes!"
Behind the convoy, an arm was stretched out to place the drone on the roof of the car. With a sharp sound like a bee, a small black police drone quickly flew into the air and swung towards the mountains and forests in the southwest. .
"Command center! Command center! Drug dealers were found during the search. A fierce exchange of fire broke out at the scene. All four drug dealers died. They were confirmed to be members of the Sinaloa drug cartel. One of our people was injured. We requested support from nearby medical teams and criminal intelligence support from the National Intelligence Center. ,be quick!"
After Milburn gave the order, he quickly contacted the combat command center of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Public Security to report the situation on the scene.
The Marine Corps is indeed Mexico's last elite.
At the very least, Milburn also understood the importance of paying attention to intelligence. It can be heard from his words that he should have applied to the Mexican National Intelligence Center early on.
To know.
If you can understand the identity of the enemy target, the number of personnel, and the firepower of the enemy's equipment in advance, you can adjust your tactics in a timely manner and formulate a perfect interception and rescue plan to reduce casualties.
Take this sudden firefight as an example.
Gu Ji had just fought against these drug dealers during his second week of duty, and knew the basic configuration of their cannon fodder team, which included an automatic rifle, a bulletproof vest, three pistols, and a grenade.
Unfortunately, Milburn was concentrating on dealing with the drug dealer at the time and did not notice his reminder.
"Captain! Captain!"
There was a shout from behind.
Gu Ji and Milburn both turned around. It was the armed pickup truck that released the drone just now.
It seemed that the "grenade" warning proved his level of strength. Milburn did not drive him away, but rushed to the vehicle with Gu Ji.
In the back seat of the car, a policeman was holding a remote control with a screen to control the drone.
In the picture transmission, there is a vast mountain forest, and a long line of smoke is like an earth dragon, wandering between the dense forest hillsides.
"Captain! Found the target, it should be a convoy!"
"Can you follow me a little closer to check if there are any passengers?"
"It's easy to be discovered if you follow closely, but I'll try..."
The technical policeman pursed his lips.
Police drones are limited by factors such as cost and aircraft weight. The telephoto lens is definitely not up to the civilian professional level. To see the details of ground vehicles clearly, the only way is to lower the altitude. In this way, the movement and noise of the wings will be reduced. It's easy to be discovered.
Fortunately, this policeman's skills were pretty good. He moved the joystick and moved the drone diagonally downward, using the tree crown as a shield. At the same time, he changed the focal length of the lens and kept zooming in.
Finally, a familiar scene appeared on the screen.
There were more than a dozen colorful armed pickup trucks, headed by a rusty yellow-green F550 armored vehicle, which was the drug traffickers' convoy that Gu Ji saw in the second week.
Behind the convoy, there is also a purple bus.
However, the side windows are all dark privacy glass, making it difficult to see the details of the people inside.
Milburn pointed to the front of the car on the screen.
"Can you find a way to see the people inside from the front of the car?"
"It will definitely be discovered."
"It's okay, just determine the rescue target. This is the most important thing!"
"good!"
The technical policeman turned the joystick, and the camera gradually changed from the side to the front. Through the huge front windshield of the bus, Gu Ji first saw the drug dealer holding an AR rifle in the co-pilot, and then the dark group of people behind him. Everyone was frightened. Lowering his head, one of the men wearing a white shirt and a bruise on his face was Bolton!
"I'm a passenger on flight AM649. I saw the co-pilot Bolton!"
"That's good……"
Milburn breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, his work was not in vain. While keeping an eye on the technical police, he continued to report to the command center.
But halfway through the words, the technical policeman said:
"Captain, we've been discovered!"
"Raise the height of the drone, lock their position, and everyone get on board immediately!"
Milburn continued to call for help from the command center, trying to get the Durango State Police to outflank and intercept him from behind.
But Gu Ji could tell from his expression that asking for help was not going smoothly.
Right.
After all, Durango State is the territory of the Sinaloa drug cartel. Since this group has been able to take root here, it is estimated that the state government has been more or less coerced and induced from top to bottom.
"Captain, they are shooting drones with machine guns!"
Just when a few people were about to return to the car, on the controller screen, several machine gunners armed with pickup trucks were shooting into the air like crazy, trying to shoot down the drone.
The technical policeman dodged while raising the altitude.
But the next second, the drone screen suddenly froze, and then a line of red text was displayed: "No signal source!"
"What's going on?" Mill asked hurriedly.
The technical special police immediately checked the signal module. "The image transmission signal is disconnected. I don't know if the control signal is still there..."
"No need to look for it. It's a microwave attack, which can interfere with or even directly destroy the signal receiver of a drone. The radio system of flight AM649 was destroyed by this device."
As soon as Gu Ji took a quick look, he knew it was a drug dealer who was up to something.
"Puta, these stinky drug dealers are updating their equipment so fast. Everyone obeys the order. The target is 2.4 kilometers northwest. We are pursuing them at full speed!"
Milburn cursed and grabbed Gu Ji, "You come with me!"
"Okay!" Of course Gu Ji would not miss this opportunity to participate in command.
It's not just about completing level tasks.
On the one hand, he can also use his knowledge of tactical command to fill Milburn's tactical loopholes. On the other hand, he can also draw some experience from Mexican police tactics.
After all, the National Guard is Mexico's most elite violent force, except for the Marine Corps.
Rumble...
The vehicle engine roared, and seven armed vehicles carried billowing dust and smoke as they chased towards the southwestern mountains and forests.
Gu Ji was sitting in the back seat of the Hummer M1152.
It was extremely hot inside the car, and there was a strong smell of engine oil mixed with gunpowder smoke and sweat that stung my nose.
There are a total of four cockpit seats in this car, and there are rows of folding seats in the rear compartment similar to a SWAT vehicle. It can carry two tons of cargo and up to four soldiers, for a total of eight people.
There is an opening in the roof in the center of the vehicle, so you can stand up and operate the vehicle's machine gun.
Theoretically, the original equipment of this armored vehicle should be the same 12.7 mm large-caliber M2 heavy machine gun used by drug traffickers, but whether due to cost or humanitarian considerations, it was changed to a US military M249 squad machine gun.
Although the configuration of both teams is similar.
But as Gu Ji analyzed before, it is very difficult for drug dealers to transport a hundred passengers, and the bus is not suitable for this kind of bad road at all, and it will easily roll over if it goes fast.
So the distance between the two is getting closer and closer.
"Ahead! There are ruts!"
"Speed up! Hurry! Catch up!"
Seeing the traces of the drug traffickers' convoy, Milburn immediately urged the driver.
But the next second, Gu Ji saw two black spots floating in the sky in the distance in the front windshield.
