Chapter 618 The surveillance operation begins
"Standard CTR 'Close Reconnaissance Tactics', there's no problem with that." Major Blackburn nodded. This is one of the subjects that SEALs are good at.
At the end of the meeting, Jason made the final summary, "This is just a tracking mission. Everyone travels lightly, and try to use weapons that are easy to hide. Once the Lasso's foothold is confirmed, the Mexican side will be responsible for the follow-up surveillance work. Let’s all get ready and we’ll start in half an hour.”
Rita Alfaro set off first, and then Jack and Mandy Ellis also left the military camp. Just as the members of Team B walked down the parking lot and were about to get in the car, they were all stopped by Jason.
"I'll give you ten minutes to re-equip, put on helmets and bulletproof plates, everyone prepare enough ammunition, Sonny, bring your machine gun, and Trent and Bullock, don't forget your 'pirate gun'."
The team members were stunned for a moment, but the obedience engraved in their bones still made them rush back to the armory and arm themselves from head to toe.
The two Mexicans who participated in the operation, Colonel Martinez and Lieutenant Lopez, were a little dumbfounded and didn't know what Jason was doing.
"What happened that I don't know about?" asked the colonel.
Jason had just finished instructing Ray Perry not to forget to bring Jack's full set of equipment. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "It is expected that there will be an ambush. The source of the information cannot be disclosed for the time being, but the possibility of encountering danger is very high. It is recommended that the two of you stay. As a backup at the base, we may need QRF (Quick Reaction Force) support at any time."
Colonel Martinez rolled his eyes. Based on the previous performance of everyone, he already had a rough guess in his mind due to his rich experience. He turned to Lieutenant Lopez and ordered.
"You stay in the combat center, follow Major Blackburn's command, and do not give any unnecessary orders to the soldiers in advance. Everything is business as usual. Do you understand?"
Lieutenant Lopez only hesitated for a moment, then immediately stood up and returned the military salute, turned around and left quickly.
"He's a good soldier," Jason whispered.
Colonel Martinez sighed, "If possible, after everything is over, can you send his family to the United States?"
Jason nodded, "I should be able to say something 'nice' about this, although I don't do it often."
Soon, the heavily armed SEALs ran back. Trent and Brock each had a truncated M79 grenade launcher that looked like a flare gun hung on their backpacks, which was what Jason had previously called a "pirate gun." .
This 40mm low-velocity grenade launcher, known as an infantry cannon, is an artifact for street fighting and can effectively increase the firepower of individual soldiers.
"Are we ready for a big fight?" Ray Perry stuffed Jack's equipment into the trunk and handed a heavy-duty body armor to Colonel Martinez.
"Maybe, maybe not." Jason waved for everyone to get in the car, "I'll explain to you later."
——
An hour later, two dark-painted SUVs parked in the dark. Seeing beautiful girls in cool clothes walking into the nightclub from time to time, Clay Spencer smacked his lips with regret.
"We really suffered a huge loss by not going undercover."
"Humph, I don't want to go in. A bottle of the crappiest vodka there costs $1,000. With that money, I can ask five of the best dancers to give me lap dances."
Sonny curled his lips with disdain, "And the music inside is like a sick calf crying for its mother."
"OK, stop talking nonsense and open the team channel." Jason looked serious.
"We have an internal problem, and today's mission may have side effects. To put it simply, Doza may have used the zipper to set a trap for us."
Everyone couldn't help but make sounds of surprise.
"How can it be?"
"Is there a traitor among us?"
"It's not our B team, it's in the combat center." Jason corrected, "We suspected that there was something wrong with Rita Alfaro. We kept it secret before because we were worried that your poor acting skills would reveal flaws.
According to Jack and Mandy's speculation, tonight's tracking plan has been leaked, and there is a high probability that we will encounter an ambush. "
"Then you're going to let us plunge into the trap like this?" Vice-Team Ray Perry was a little confused.
"This is our only chance to catch Russo and get Doza's whereabouts out of him, and maybe we'll have a chance tonight to put an end to this."
As he spoke, Jason pointed to the sky, "Now there is a 'Mermaid Poseidon' above us in position. Everyone is fully armed and ready. Colonel Martinez's QRF is at home to support at any time. Are there any questions? "
The "Mermaid Poseidon" is the naval version of the Global Hawk, with a cruising altitude of 17,000 meters. It is impossible to be discovered by the Mexican military with "poor" equipment, and naturally no permission is needed.
"Well, I don't have any problem. The young man has been impatient these days. It's just time for a big fight." Ray Perry shrugged, saying that he had no objection.
Colonel Martinez in the back seat said nothing, with a thoughtful look on his face.
In Rosia Nightclub, Jack glanced at Sofia Nunez, who was leaning against the bar and tasting wine in an elegant manner. He sent Jason a message on his mobile phone that he was already in place, and then he put his arms around Mandy. Leith sat on the other side of the bar and ordered two cocktails.
"This is the most expensive and nastiest cocktail I've ever had in my life."
"I thought young people like you would adapt to this kind of place very well." Mandy Ellis leaned into Jack's arms and said softly. The two of them were like a middle-aged couple in love who never wanted to be separated.
This eldest sister was so thin that her diaphragm hurt her bones. Jack adjusted his posture slightly and complained secretly in his heart. He missed the chubby Hannah, missed the long and clean legs, and missed the two beautiful ladies.
"This kind of place is noisy and crowded, and a cocktail costs 100 yuan. It is definitely not my first choice for a first date with a girl."
"Tsk, listen to this old-fashioned speech, people who don't know think you are an old guy in his fifties or sixties." Before Mandy Ellis could finish her words, she suddenly poked Jack with her elbow, "Russo showed up. .”
I saw Lasso with a ponytail and two of his men appear out of nowhere, walked straight to Sofia Nunez, and said something intimately in her ear. The latter stood up and followed. He walked along the dance floor to the booths at the other end.
Jack's left hand placed under Mandy Ellis' buttocks seemed to be rubbing oil, but in fact, his fingers were quickly pressing on the phone to send a text message that had already been edited.
Then the two of them got up and sat down in the rest area at the other end of the dance floor. Through the dancing crowd, they monitored the couple opposite. At the same time, Rita Alfaro was leaning on the railing on the second floor, watching from top to bottom. Looking at all this, his eyes are incomprehensible.
