Chapter 701 Team B was almost wiped out
SEAL Team B is still performing missions in Africa, and the specific situation is naturally confidential. Jason Hayes only vaguely hinted that Jack would have a BBQ together in Virginia Beach in three days.
So Jack stayed with Hannah for two days, and on the third day he drove the Firebird to Virginia Beach. However, something seemed to go wrong. He waited in the hotel for a whole day and did not receive a call from Jason.
This made him a little uneasy. This was Clay's last battle, and he felt a bit like establishing a flag. Team B wouldn't encounter any surprises this time, right?
Jack called all the mobile phone numbers used by members of Team B for external communication, and finally he could only dial the number of Jason's wife, Alanna.
Half an hour later, he met Alanna, Clay's 6-month-pregnant girlfriend Stella, and B-team vice-captain Ray Perry's wife Naima at Jason's house. Accompanying them was B-team logistics support officer Li Sarah Davis.
"Can you tell me something you can talk about?" Although the women looked gloomy, at least they didn't hold each other's hands and cry. Jack felt that the worst situation was not yet reached.
Lisa Davis and Jack came to the corridor outside the door and whispered, "I can't say much, the mission is confidential, Clay is seriously injured, and the situation of other team members is not optimistic either."
"Where are they now?" Jack did not intend to ask questions that were destined to be unanswered, but directly asked about the current whereabouts of everyone in Team B.
"It was just sent to Ramstein." Lisa Davis looked gloomy, "I'm sorry I can't reveal too much information."
"It's okay, take care of Stella, I'll go over now." Jack expressed understanding.
Ramstein is in Germany and is NATO's largest air base in Europe. Jack knows who to call at times like this.
While the two were talking, several cars stopped in front of Jason's house, and the family members of several other members of Team B got out of the car. Most of them had met Jack at the party and saw the two people standing at the door. They all forced out a smile and said hello to them.
Jack entered the room again to comfort Stella, told her to wait for the news, then left. After getting in the car, he directly called a certain female CIA.
Unfortunately, Mandy Ellis did not participate in this B-Team operation and did not know the specific situation. However, with her ability, she could still send Jack to take the nearest military transport plane to Ramstein. Arrived.
She was not surprised by Jack's urgent request. After all, he had played a life-or-death game with the members of Team B in Mexico not long ago, and she had witnessed the friendship between the two parties with her own eyes.
Moreover, during the last operation, she owed Jack a big favor. This kind of small favor was nothing. As the intelligence officer of Team B and Jason's friend, Mandy Ellis also wanted to Find out the current status of Team B as soon as possible.
Six hours later, a C-17 Globemaster landed at Ramstein Air Force Base. Jack got off the transport plane and went straight to the military hospital.
In the hospital corridor, he collided with Jason who was coming towards him.
"What the hell, how could you..." Jason, who was wearing a hospital gown, with a cast on his right arm and a bandage around his neck, was limping anxiously in the corridor and was surprised when he saw Jack. was speechless.
"Someone said they wanted to buy me a beer, but I waited all day and no one came, so they came directly to the door." Jack smiled and gave him a hug, while asking in a low voice, "You were ambushed?"
"I was caught off guard by a rocket." Jason whispered back, subconsciously glanced at the soldiers and nurses coming and going around him, and pulled Jack into a lounge.
2, 3, 4, 5, four of the six members of Team B are inside. Although everyone including Jason is injured, at least they can still move around.
"I should be the one who got hit by the rocket. I promised Clay a bachelor party before, but I never had time to fulfill it." Sonny's mouth opened wide when he saw Jack, and he got stuck in the middle of his self-pitying words. in the throat.
"It's not like the tough Texas guy I know started nagging like a little girl." Jack hugged the stocky Texas guy hard and shook hands with everyone.
"Are you all okay?"
Vice team member Ray Perry raised his bandaged left palm and said, "It's all trivial, a little burn, a fracture and other minor problems. What we are most worried about now is Clay. He has been in the operating room for 6 months." It's been an hour, you know, the longer it goes, the more serious the situation is, Sonny is going crazy."
His words gave Jack a sudden thought, "Can you tell me what happened at that time?"
But don't let Clay lose his arms or legs. Even if he is partially paralyzed, he can secretly save it. At worst, it will be a medical miracle, but it will be troublesome if he is disabled. His healing skills must not be exposed. This is different from Friendship has nothing to do with it.
Jason glanced at Sonny, who stood at the door of the rest room and observed the situation outside.
"This was supposed to be a low-intensity combat operation. We were ordered to go from Burkina Faso to Mali to capture a leader of a terrorist organization in the Sahel region."
After listening to Jason's story, Jack roughly understood what happened. Mali is a small landlocked country in West Africa, and neighboring Burkina Faso is the country where Sankara, known as Che Guevara in Africa, fought.
The so-called Sahel region is a narrow strip of more than 3,800 kilometers long between the Sahara Desert in northern Africa and the Sudanese grassland region in central Africa, extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Horn of Africa in the east.
It includes 10 countries: Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, the Republic of Sudan, the Republic of South Sudan and Eritrea.
Just by hearing the names of these countries, you can tell what kind of chaotic region this is. Although it is extremely rich in mineral resources, its long colonial history and its own climate have turned this region into the poorest region in the world.
This is also one of the areas in Africa where certain religious terrorist activities are most rampant. At least four countries among the five permanent members of the United Nations have stirred up trouble in the area.
This time, the SEAL was ordered to drive two armored pickup trucks disguised as civilian vehicles to the destination to join the other two task forces, and then carry out a beheading operation. As a result, they were ambushed halfway before they reached the destination.
The target of the opponent's action was very clear. IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) were deployed directly on the roadside. After blowing up the overturned car, at least thirty or forty people launched a surprise attack from the ridge, with automatic firepower like water splashing and occasional rounds. The individual rockets caught Team B by surprise.
Team B only carried carry-on ammunition, and it took nearly 20 minutes for the Reaper drone closest to them to arrive.
If Jason hadn't destroyed the opponent's rocket position with a single assault, and then used the remaining rockets on the position to kill two blocking positions, this wave of Team B might have been completely wiped out because they ran out of ammunition and food.
Clay's luck was quite bad. Although the first car that was blown over contained local guides and task force members, the seals in the second car survived the first wave of attacks. However, several rockets later Still blasted them to pieces.
One of the shots landed right next to Clay, and the shock wave immediately knocked him unconscious. It took nearly five minutes for him to wake up from the coma.
His left leg was shattered by fragments, and the open fracture caused a lot of blood loss. If Sonny hadn't put a tourniquet on him in time, he would have almost died on the spot in the chaos.
