Chapter 238 Guerrilla Warfare
"Our situation is not good." Sherbeck found Jack with a sullen face.
They captured a prisoner, but he didn't speak English. In the end, a local girl named Nadine temporarily acted as a translator.
According to captives, one of the main leaders of the "Abu Sayyaf" organization on Jolo, Radulan Shahilun, was gathering his troops and targeting the passengers on the emergency landing of the airliner.
Radulan Shahilun is in his 70s. He once sacrificed his life for Essex in the Afghan battlefield and lost one of his right arms.
After the Battle of Marawi, the "Abu Sayyaf" organization lost several important leaders one after another, and Radulan Shahilun became the most senior and highest-ranking person on the island. Currently, the militants are directly under his command. There were no less than 300 people.
The Junma who died under Jack's gun was one of his confidants and the heir he was cultivating. The two hostages who had fallen into Junma's hands were sent to Radulan Shaxilon that night.
Radulan Shahilun was overjoyed to learn that there were more than a dozen foreigners on the island, and immediately issued a huge reward to encourage civilians on the island to provide clues.
Early this morning, almost at the same time that the PMCs landed on the island, residents of Jolo Island who witnessed the transport plane and parachute ran to report it.
Radulan Shaxilon was still relatively cautious. After knowing that someone was airborne for rescue, he concentrated his armed forces and sent the nearest Junma and his men to investigate.
They received the order only to prevent the PMCs from taking away these valuable meat tickets. The reason why they were beaten like this was partly because they underestimated the enemy, and partly because Jack killed the leader first.
The veterans who served as the backbone were afraid of being angered by Radulan Shaxilon if they went back like this, so they launched a wave of attacks, hoping that after suppressing the snipers, they could break into the small building and win by relying on their numerical advantage.
The result was that they were directly defeated by precise firepower, and almost the entire army was wiped out.
So, is this a fight between the young and the old? There are more than 300 militants, and they are only directly subordinate. Thinking about this number makes people's scalp numb.
"Can the seals push us?" Jack asked.
"I've been urged, and it will be early tomorrow morning at the earliest. What I'm worried about is that once we are surrounded, the military may cancel the airdrop deployment of SEALs."
Xie Beike's worries are not unreasonable. The reason why they stick to this abandoned mine is not only because there is a sturdy small building here, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, but also because of the rare hardened ground between the small building and the mine.
If this landing site is lost, or the mine is completely surrounded by people, and the landing site is placed in the fire range, the seals will probably be able to land on the nearest beach, and then come to support on foot.
The island is full of dense rainforests and hostile locals, which inevitably reminds people of the nightmares of the US military. Those talking trees in similar tropical jungles in Vietnam, no one knows what they will encounter along the way.
After all, no matter how elite the seals are, they are not Iron Man wearing Mark armor, and they are even less likely to parachute over densely planted tropical rainforests. In the 1970s, the US military did this in Vietnam, and the ending was not very happy.
From then on, there were only those 15 airborne warriors who were supported by the National Movement during the Wenchuan Earthquake.
You must know that at that time, the elite Bai Lai were prepared to throw batches down, just hoping that a few people could land safely and establish a landing site.
Of course, the Wenchuan earthquake was much more difficult and can only be used as an inappropriate example.
But no matter what, they couldn't let their side be so passive. They needed to do something. With this idea, they should at least delay the opponent's attack time until the evening. With this idea, Jack found Gasparre.
"A raid on their assembly area?" Gaspare's big eyes almost popped out.
"A small number of us are going to attack a camp with more than 300 armed men? Are you really serious about messing with Fak?"
Jack smiled and "comforted" him, "It's not just you and me. We need someone to guard here and ambush us halfway to cover our retreat."
"Are you sure we still have a chance to retreat?"
Gaspare thought this guy was crazy.
However, after listening to Jack's plan, everyone, including Shebek, felt that although his plan sounded crazy, it was not impossible to succeed.
The premise is that he is really as awesome as he boasts and has enough luck.
Half an hour later, a dilapidated Nissan pickup truck was speeding along the path in the rain forest.
This vehicle was the only heavy firepower of the previous wave of militants. It was a modified pickup truck carrying the M2 "Lao Ganma".
Although the heavy machine gun above was damaged by Jack, the machine gun mount mounted on the rear compartment and capable of rotating 360 degrees was still in good condition.
Jack mounted the Barrett M107A1, took all the magazines, and Gaspare drove the car at lightning speed to raid the "enemy camp".
Palang was once a well-known tourist town on Jolo Island. There are beautiful beaches nearby, bars, hospitals and schools in the town, and even a shopping mall dedicated to receiving tourists.
Nowadays, all these have become a thing of the past. Only half of the once bustling cruise terminal remains, with a few armed boats and more dilapidated fishing boats parked here and there.
In the center of the town, next to the smashed fountain, an old man with gray hair and a fierce face was naked to the upper body, exposing his chest full of scars, waving his remaining left arm, and loudly delivering a speech.
At this time, on a dirt road less than two kilometers away from the town, Jack closed the military tablet in his hand. This drone was really powerful and could almost take a clear picture of a person's face at an altitude of more than a thousand meters.
It's a pity that the air force base is too far away. In order to ensure enough idle time, the Predator doesn't even carry a Hellfire. Otherwise, if you drop one at this time, everyone will be in trouble.
"Are you sure we really won't be beaten into a hornet's nest as soon as we rush in?" Gaspare looked melancholy. If Jack hadn't promised to help him clear his identity, he really didn't want to accompany this kid to risk his life.
"When did I want you to rush in?" Jack was startled by him.
"We are here to harass, not to die. Did you listen when we assigned the mission before?"
"I still think your bad idea is no different than sending someone to death." Gaspare rolled his eyes.
"You shouldn't have destroyed that M2. With that big guy here, our chances of survival will be higher."
Jack rolled his eyes angrily, "Don't count on that piece of scrap metal. I checked before. He might be older than Captain Torrance's grandfather, and he doesn't know how many years he has not been properly maintained. The machine There were even dead insects in the box.”
Some book friends said that there is no tactical cool operation, and this is what happened.
Originally the 12 o'clock chapter will be a little later, so I'll continue coding.
