Chapter 580 Backup Plan

Chapter 580 Backup Plan

"Nighthawk has arrived at the scheduled launch location and is currently installing equipment and calibrating parameters."

"Suhail has just massacred the People's Palace and launched an internal anti-counterrevolutionary operation."

"Bashar has announced a government reorganization and interrupted discussions on the abolition of the state of emergency law."

"The state of emergency will be further strengthened - but this is not the point."

"The missile launch system in Homs has been aimed at Gilis and can be launched at any time."

"Progress is going smoothly, and no signs of external interference have been detected."

"It's also very calm on our side."

"There is no interference from any armed elements, no unexpected situations, and the Sudanese support personnel are in place. It is expected that in half an hour, we will arrive at the scheduled evacuation point and begin to evacuate towards Khartoum."

"To be honest, I think things are going a little too smoothly. Are the Americans really not reacting at all?"

In the truck, Li Bang asked with a little worry while checking the weapons in his hand.

Chen Chen, who was sitting next to him, shook his head and replied:

"You asked me this, and I have nothing to answer."

"Theoretically, we are in a sovereign country that has not fought any foreign wars, and the current situation is normal."

"I can only say that we have been disgusted by the Americans for too long, so we feel that the current relaxation is abnormal."

"But we still can't let our guard down."

"Things are not over yet - or, things haven't really started yet."

"The moment the missile is actually launched is the most dangerous moment."

"Continue to keep in touch with the front and rear, and confirm the movement of the Soviet-Egyptian border every 10 minutes."

"The Sudanese government has deployed air defense radars on the northern border. Even if they can't lock on to the fighter jets taking off from Egypt, at least they should notify us as soon as they find them."

"Otherwise, we won't even have a chance to escape."

"It would be funny if we were suffocated in the car by missiles."

"Understood."

Li Bang nodded solemnly, and Chen Chen took a deep breath and looked into the deep darkness in the distance.

As Li Bang said, everything has been going too smoothly so far.

No interception, no harassment, no fighting.

Entering Sudan is like entering an orderly "paradise".

But the question is, how can this be a paradise?

The political environment here is more complicated than Syria, the military execution here is weaker than Pubei, and the degree of infiltration by NATO and the United States here is comparable to that of island countries and South Korea. It is normal to have accidents. The calmness makes Chen Chen feel that there are greater dangers waiting for him ahead.

The biggest problem he faces is that he doesn't even know where the danger will come from and what form it will appear in.

The truck is still moving forward, and Chen Chen has also received the latest intelligence from Li Bang.

"There are no unusual movements on the Egyptian border. The Sudanese quick reaction force at the evacuation point is ready to respond. The ship is in place, and the passenger plane at Khartoum Airport is ready and can take off at any time."

"The Syrian government forces have launched a full-scale offensive against Raqqa and Azaz, and the battle is very fierce."

"They will provide cover for the missile launch and are expected to start simultaneously after receiving the Russian signal."

"The distance to the evacuation point is 6 kilometers, the speed of the car has slowed down, and it is expected to arrive in 15 minutes."

"The reconnaissance team ahead has not found any abnormal situation for the time being. Do you want to continue moving forward?"

After Li Bang's voice fell, Chen Chen thought for a moment, and then said:

"Reconnaissance The group continued to move forward, and we were ready to get off the car. "

"Allow one of the rear guard pickup trucks for us to use."

"Slow down the convoy and wait until we go around to the front to find out the enemy situation before continuing to move forward."

"There is still time. As long as we arrive before the Russians take action, there will be no additional risks!"

"Understood."

After the order was issued, Li Bang immediately began to pass it to the front. A moment later, a pickup truck gradually slowed down and left the convoy. At the turn of the road, while the convoy slowed down, a group of four people jumped off the truck one by one, and quickly replaced the signal flag guards on the pickup truck, drove away from the team, and drove in a direction almost perpendicular to the convoy's direction.

They crossed the desert, detoured for nearly 1 kilometer and drove onto a new road. Then, Lin He turned around again and quickly moved towards the evacuation point according to the map and GPS.

Lin He, who was driving, had turned on the thermal fusion night vision device. The lights of the convoy in the distance were no longer visible. On the desolate land, only their pickup truck was driving alone.

The strong wind blew from the north, stirring up dust all over the sky.

The visibility was less than 100 meters, but the pickup truck did not slow down at all.

10 minutes later, the four people in the pickup truck smelled the humid water vapor blowing from the Nile River, which meant that they were quite close to the assembly point.

"Slow down and find the evacuation point."

"1.2 kilometers to the northwest, I can see the ferry."

Pingchuan, holding a telescope, answered immediately.

"Stop!"

Chen Chen gave an order, and the pickup truck braked and stopped. The four people got out immediately, then crawled on the sand dunes, each raised a telescope, and looked at the ferry in the distance.

However, with just one glance, Chen Chen realized that something was wrong.

"Something is wrong."

"Too many lights."

"Too many lights?"

Li Bang asked in confusion:

"Why? Isn't it normal to have so many lights at the ferry?"

"This is Sudan, not a developed country!"

"Have you forgotten how the Lion Corps ambushed us in Pubei?"

"They had as many lights as we do now."

"This is a mistake that all non-professional ambushers will make. They have no night combat capability and lack the necessary night vision tools, so they subconsciously place a lot of lights around the ambush point."

"Especially when we have to go, such lights are even more suspicious."

"They are completely There is no need to use lights to indicate the position, this is the flaw. "

"Look carefully, are there any suspicious armed personnel?"

"I can't see clearly."

Pingchuan shook his head and replied:

"The brightness is too low and the distance is too far."

"But it is certain that there are a large number of people moving around near the ferry, which is indeed inconsistent with the situation here."

"The Nile River waterway is complicated, shipping is relatively difficult, and shipping is not busy at night."

"Now they are gathered here can only be coming for us"

"Let me try a few shots."

Chen Chen interrupted Pingchuan and took out his SCAR-H from behind.

Without any hesitation, aim, fire, and the bullet flew out of the chamber.

With the blessing of the silencer, the gunshot was not harsh. It was only a few hundred meters away before it was completely covered by the noise in the wind.

However, the bullet fell accurately in the center of the ferry after a long distance flight.

Like disturbed wild ducks, all the people gathered at the ferry started to move.

And it was this reaction that made Chen Chen more determined in his judgment.

The reason is simple. Their actions are too well organized.

These people are definitely not ordinary civilians, and judging from the early intelligence, their number is far beyond the agreed scope.

"Contact the convoy and ask them to stop."

Chen Chen's voice was slightly hoarse.

"This is a trap. The intelligence has been leaked. There is a problem within the Sudanese government."

"Find Nighthawk, terminate the action, and find a way to hide the equipment!"

"Understood!"

Li Bang replied in a deep voice, but just as he unfolded the radio to contact the rear, the roar of a fighter jet cutting through the sky suddenly sounded above the four-man team's head.

"It's not a strong five."

"Damn!"

At the same time, at a low altitude of less than 100 meters, two Rafales passed by at a speed of more than 1.5 Mach. After flying over the convoy, they quickly pulled up and turned around and dived with a high-angle roll maneuver like a show of skill.

The pilot on the lead plane tilted his head slightly to look down, and then reported on the radio:

"We have visually identified the target and released the missile insurance."

"We are not harassed, and the enemy radar has not found us. We have plenty of time to attack."

"Do you want to launch an attack?"

A slightly harsh electric current sounded, and then the pilot's headset came with a response from the rear command center.

"Continue to monitor and wait for attack instructions."

"Can you confirm the true situation of the convoy below? Can you see the missiles they are transporting?"

"No."

The pilot shook his head subconsciously and replied:

"The visual conditions are not good. The truck is covered with a cover and the internal situation is not clear."

"However, the scale of this convoy is quite large and looks real."

"Understood. Don't worry, wait for the reconnaissance intelligence feedback from the coast."

"Got it, how long will it take?"

The pilot asked a little impatiently.

"Within 3 minutes."

"Got it."

The pilot nodded helplessly, then turned his head to look at the wingman flying on the left rear side and asked:

"Hey, Mouse, did you see anything in the truck?"

"No."

The pilot called Mouse said in a slightly nervous voice:

"3 minutes, if the opponent's air force has been dispatched, within 3 minutes, they will be able to shoot us down several times."

"We should launch an attack as soon as possible and then evacuate as soon as possible"

"Wait, the convoy has stopped."

"They are evacuating!"

"Bird's Nest, request intervention, it's too late!"

"Green light, attack!"

The voice in the headset came immediately, and two Rafale fighters circled an arc and headed straight for the ground convoy. Then, flames and smoke came out from under the wings of the fighters. Several air-to-ground missiles and rockets, like the legendary spear of destiny, locked the convoy on the ground and the rapidly fleeing signal flag team members.

On the other side, in northern Sudan, near the coast of Salara.

Nighthawk stared at the sky nervously. The missile launcher behind him was ready. The solid rocket that did not need to be refueled was ready very quickly. Now all he had to do was wait for the command and control vehicle that had already moved forward 5 kilometers to send back the target position data. After entering the trajectory parameters, he could launch it directly.

But the problem now was that the aircraft carrier formation that had been showing off its might in the Red Sea had moved away from the coastline and completely lost its trace. If they wanted to target the aircraft carrier, they could only rely on the fuzzy position data provided by the satellite.

There was no doubt that with such accuracy, the missile had no chance of entering the threat range, and there was no chance of even triggering the Aegis air defense system of the shield ship in the formation.

Such an attack would be meaningless, and the missiles that fell into the sea would even become a laughing stock for "overestimating one's own capabilities".

So, whether to launch missiles as planned became a choice for Nighthawk.

Looking at his deputy who was ready for battle, Nighthawk asked:

"Is Holmes ready?"

"Ready."

"Is the backup plan ready?"

"The parameters have been determined, and the distance is 370 kilometers, which is just within the range."

"According to the opponent's air defense capabilities, the probability of the opponent's successful interception is very low."

"But. If we really want to attack them, the political risk is very high."

"The political risk of attacking an aircraft carrier is no less than this."

Nighthawk shook his head calmly, and then said:

"And we are targeting the French army, not Egypt."

"This is more in line with AQTN's logic."

"Get ready, enter the parameters, and prepare to attack."

"Understood."

The deputy turned and left. Under his command, the three assembled launch vehicles quickly removed their camouflage and raised the launch pad.

The missile slowly turned and pointed to the north of their location.

This was contrary to the direction of the US aircraft carrier formation. Obviously, the signal flag had abandoned the original plan and turned to a more extreme plan.

"Wait for 1 minute. If there is no clearer position information from the rear, we will directly execute the backup plan!"

Nighthawk gave the order, and at this moment, the sound of a fighter jet passing by suddenly sounded in the sky.

Nighthawk's hair stood up and his muscles immediately tightened.

He knew too well what such a sound meant.

This could not be a fighter jet from the Sudanese military. It must be a carrier-based aircraft from an aircraft carrier or a gust of wind from the airport on the north side!

"Launch! Launch!"

"Immediately! Launch!"

Nighthawk roared and gave orders. At the same time, a call from Li Bang came over the radio.

"Retreat and hide immediately! The position has been exposed!"

"The French army broke through at low altitude, pay attention to avoid!"

The entire launch site was in chaos, and fighter jets flew over everyone's heads. They only had 30 seconds at most.

Retreat or fight?

"It's too late."

Nighthawk took a deep breath and issued his last order.

"Launch the missiles and then retreat."

"Understood!"

Instantly, the red button was pressed.

The electric spark ignited the solid gunpowder, and the hot flames sprayed out. In the huge smoke, three missiles took off.

The speed of the missiles was getting faster and faster. The six fighters and missiles turned around and flew back, diving towards the ground.

Looking at the wasps swooping down from the sky, Nighthawk raised his hand and lit the last cigarette in his mouth.

A puff of smoke was exhaled, and then a large number of precision-guided bombs were dropped, and the ground instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire.

And in this sea of ​​fire, three missiles had already passed through the clouds.

Their target was not the aircraft carrier.

It was the north, the air force base in Aswan, in Egypt!
