Chapter 609 SSSG
Ushba Mountain is special because its location is quite sensitive.
It is not only close to the disputed area of South Ossetia, but also on the border between Russia and Georgia.
The shortest straight-line distance from the foot of this mountain to the Russian border is only 1.2 kilometers. If someone is willing to take the risk and slide down from the top of the mountain on a sled, it will take less than two minutes to reach Russia.
Chen Chen understood very well the internal logic of why this combat mission would take place here.
The reason is very simple. If those ISA agents who are basically "defecting" want to hide, they will most likely hide in such nooks and crannies that are highly sensitive and easy to escape.
What's more, Ushba Mountain is not a barren land. At the foot of the mountain are hiking camps and snow mountain tourist areas, with tens of thousands of tourists visiting every year.
Life here may be boring, but it's definitely not hard.
For those agents, as long as they survive the most difficult years, after the impact of those events gradually fades away, maybe they can return to the city and start a new life anonymously.
But it's a pity that they don't have this opportunity.
Now, not only the Dongfeng Corps wants to kill them, but their own colleagues are also hunting them.
None of these three parties are friendly forces. As long as they meet, it will be a life-and-death melee.
Chen Chen suddenly felt that ISA was quite pitiful.
They do the dirty work and they die too.
In terms of treatment, it is even worse than my own black glove.
After all, the big bosses in the north really didn't want to kill him. If they really wanted to kill him, the J-8 would not have been secretly transported to Pubei, but would have flown over at a low altitude.
On the plane, Chen Chen was analyzing the subsequent tactical arrangements and wondering why.
It is obvious that a country founded on war, why is it so merciless when it kills its own heroes?
Aren't you afraid of reenacting the Civil War someday?
Chen Chen didn't think about this problem until he got off the plane, but in fact he didn't care that much.
The plane landed at Tbilisi Airport, and then the team of 12 people transferred from Tbilisi to Kutaisi. After landing, they found the reception staff and continued driving from Kutaisi to Mestia.
The last section of the journey was only 160 kilometers, but it took them a full 5 hours.
The road conditions are very poor, and there are constant military and police controls along the way, so the traffic speed is quite slow.
Fortunately, they finally arrived successfully and checked into the most luxurious hotel in Mestia.
It's said to be a hotel, but actually it's just a larger B\u0026B.
Xiaoyu helped everyone go through the formalities in the name of the northern tour group. Under the leadership of the "team leader", everyone booked the entire hotel by themselves very unobtrusively, and successfully got the tickets delivered from the border. equipment.
Sitting in the hotel room, Chen Chen carefully checked all corners where cameras might be hidden and turned on the interference jammer.
Afterwards, everyone finally opened the packed boxes and began to check the equipment for this mission.
Just as Chen Chen had previously requested, all the guns were customized, and the rifles were just like the G36. However, this thing should actually be called the MG36, because considering the combat style of the Dongfeng Corps, while reducing weight as much as possible, Except for snipers and full-time machine gunners, everyone is equipped with only one main weapon.
Therefore, the firepower of this main weapon is crucial.
Equipped with a heavy barrel, drum magazine, folding bipod and thermal imaging sight, the MG36 can meet all their needs.
Chen Chen pressed bullets into the drum one by one. Li Bang, who was sitting aside, looked at his gun, then at the M249 in his hand, shook his head and said:
"This thing doesn't seem to work."
"I still don't quite understand why you don't continue to use HK416. Obviously HK416 is reliable in low temperature environments."
"You also know that it's okay, but it's unstable."
Chen Chen shook his head and explained:
"The shell of the G36 is very thick, and the barrel sleeve and steel frame are injection molded in one piece. Thermal expansion and contraction are not obvious in low-temperature environments, and the stability is better than most guns."
"Although HK416 is indeed easy to use, the problem is that it is still too sophisticated. Once something goes wrong, there is no place to repair it."
"Of course, if there is a backup gun, even if there is a problem with the main weapon, it will be replaced by another one in the worst case."
"But you also know that in this situation, the weight can be reduced as much as possible. It is impossible to carry two weapons."
"Actually, I wanted to reduce the number of machine gunners at first, but considering that this operation is likely to involve large-scale battles, I ended up keeping it on you."
"When we get to the snowy mountains, you'd better run faster."
"In this team, you are the only three who have no experience in fighting on snowy plateaus. You can only adapt as quickly as possible."
"According to the plan, we will go up the mountain with the hiking team tomorrow and go climbing first."
"If that doesn't work, you guys should evacuate as soon as possible to avoid holding everyone back."
"clear."
Li Bang nodded and suddenly asked again:
"Aren't you also inexperienced?"
".I have a solid theory."
Chen Chen avoided answering, while Shi Dakai smiled and said nothing.
Li Bang scratched his head in embarrassment and said:
"Oh, I just said it casually. There is still time now, why not go up now?"
"Have you ever seen any tourists go up the mountain at this time? Unless they want to die on the mountain."
Chen Chen pointed out the window. From the perspective of their room, the majestic Wushiba Mountain was right in front of them.
The impact of this scenery is still quite large. The whole mountain almost fills the window, as if the mountain will rush towards you in the next second if you don't move.
Everyone in the room stopped their actions for a short time, holding their breath and watching the sunset dyeing the snow-capped mountain into gold.
After a long time, the sky gradually changed from light blue to dark blue, and the snow-capped mountain also turned back to the original ordinary snow-capped mountain.
Chen Chen took out a high-power telescope from the equipment box, assembled it and began to observe the situation on the snow-capped mountain.
While watching, he kept reporting the location and landmark information. After just half an hour, a side-view map of the snow-capped mountain had basically taken shape.
Taking the map handed over by Shi Dakai, Chen Chen frowned and shook his head, then said:
"This snow mountain is not clean."
"Not clean? What do you mean?"
Lin He's curiosity was instantly aroused. He probably thought Chen Chen was going to tell a horror, absurd and bizarre story, but Chen Chen just rolled his eyes at him and said:
"The side we are facing now is the route commonly used by tourists and climbers. I originally thought that this place was not popular and there should not be too obvious traces of human activities."
"But now I see all kinds of camps, facilities, and even mountaintop hotels and restaurants."
"Although they are all shabby, the density is a bit too high."
"There is no real no-man's land on this mountain. In this way, it is almost impossible for us to predict the possible location of the other party's action. We can only wait for subsequent intelligence notifications."
"The time left for us to verify is seriously insufficient. Although it is unlikely to fall into a passive position, this thing is like catching a mouse. You don't know where to catch it."
Hearing Chen Chen's words, the other three people in the room also frowned.
Then, Lin He asked:
"Didn't Sister Xiaoyu say that she would give accurate intelligence?"
"Intelligence can only indicate time and place, and these two must be true."
"But the timeliness may not be true."
"Even if the timeliness is only 30 minutes different, it is enough to kill people."
"To solve this problem, we must deploy to the mountain in advance."
"But where to deploy is another new problem."
"Dispersed deployment."
Shi Dakai raised his hand and said:
"Let's go up the mountain and don't come down."
"Didn't you say there are hotels and restaurants up there? Let's let Xiaoyu go 12 in advance. "We will release inaccurate intelligence within 1 hour, and then we will go up the mountain and wait."
"As soon as we get the accurate intelligence, we will act immediately and not give them time to react."
"It's too eye-catching."
Chen Chen shook his head and replied:
"There is no other meaning in doing this except exposing us in advance."
"Have you forgotten what Xiaoyu said? CIASAD has already started activities in this area."
"Then don't deploy in areas with people. There won't be people everywhere on such a big snowy mountain, right?"
"Hypothermia will kill people."
Chen Chen shook his head again, and his right hand that picked up the bullet stopped subconsciously.
This seems to be the best way.
To take advantage of this time difference, you have to appear in a place that the enemy absolutely can't expect.
Then, deploying to the mountain in advance is the only solution.
But the question is, can anyone really withstand 12 hours?
The thin air in the high-altitude mountains, coupled with the low temperature, is definitely a challenge to physical fitness that cannot be ignored.
"Let's take a step back."
Li Bang looked at Chen Chen, then at Shi Dakai, and then said:
"The estimated mission time is the morning of the day after tomorrow, and we still have a whole day to test tomorrow."
"After we go up the mountain, if we can bear it, we will go up the mountain directly and don't come down."
"If we can't bear it, we will make plans."
"With enough equipment, I don't think it will be a big problem."
"Then give it a try!"
Chen Chen finally made the decision, and after making the decision, everyone relaxed.
--
Although, even if this decision has not been implemented, it is destined to bring them huge challenges.
"Dakai, contact the contact person to arrange the equipment airdrop plan and have the drone pilots prepare."
"If we don't come down tomorrow, the rear base here will have to make independent decisions."
"Once they receive the notification from Xiaoyu, they need to launch the drone and airlift the equipment we need."
"This is equivalent to overdrawing our transportation capacity in advance, and it is also a challenge for drone pilots. We must make a plan!"
"Understood!"
Shi Dakai nodded solemnly:
"I will personally discuss the details with them today, and give you a briefing on the process of climbing the mountain early tomorrow morning."
"No problem."
Chen Chen made an OK gesture with confidence. It was almost 6 pm at this time, and it was time for tourists to have dinner.
The members of the team walked out of the room one after another, and ate in different time periods, trying to avoid appearing in front of third parties in a "collective" manner at the same time.
After finishing the meal, Chen Chen walked out with Shi Dakai like a "tourist".
The town of Mestia is actually quite primitive. In a word, there is no trace of industrialization.
Walking on the road surrounded by wooden fences, Chen Chen even really felt like he was "in Switzerland".
However, this feeling was soon broken.
A motorcade that was so conspicuous that everyone stopped to watch drove in, turned a fork in the road, and disappeared completely.
Chen Chen watched them leave. After a moment of silence, he said to Shi Dakai beside him:
"Now it's interesting."
"I don't even know if the Americans are too lazy to act, or if Georgia is just too stupid."
"These people drove their cars in with such a big fanfare. Don't you think they are too high-profile?"
"If they change the license plate, do they think others don't recognize their car?"
"You still have the damn car window open. Are you planning to show off your muscles and have a date with a tourist before the mission begins?"
"Is this someone from the United States? Davis? ISA?"
Shi Dakai asked dumbfounded.
"no."
Chen Chen shook his head and replied:
"This is a SSSG vehicle, the Georgian State Security Service."
"The characteristics of their car are very obvious, it is completely black. I have seen videos of them conducting anti-terrorism exercises in the Stepantsminda area before, and they drive this kind of car."
"Their windshields still have the marks left by the special passes, which must have been temporarily torn off."
"This is so careless. Are you still helping their beautiful father?"
"Are they here to assist Davis?"
Shi Dakai continued to ask.
"I don't know, but it's most likely."
"It is impossible for the United States not to arrange any support here, and judging from the current situation, it is reasonable to seek assistance from the Army and the Security Bureau."
"This is a problem for us."
"If there is a fight, we may not only fight the United States, but also the SSSG."
Speaking of this, Chen Chen's voice gradually became quieter.
He was thinking about how to deal with the helper Davis was looking for.
In other words, what he was thinking about was how to ensure that his team could escape unscathed when it was confirmed that a fourth party was involved.
But no matter what he thought, the probability was a bit too low, and the combat difficulty was frighteningly high.
"I have a solution."
Shi Dakai got a little closer and then said:
"Leave people at the foot of the mountain."
"Actually, I have never believed that our entire team can adapt to fighting in high-altitude snow."
"Among these 12 people, even among the four of us, there may be someone who cannot bear it."
"In this case, if you can't bear it, don't go."
"Look for a good opportunity. Before we start the battle, just kill all the SSSG people and cut off their escape route. This can also help attract firepower to the main battlefield on the mountain. How about it?"
".Do you know what kind of behavior this is for special forces who actively attack a sovereign country?"
Chen Chen asked with a frown.
“Georgia still has sovereignty?”
Shi Dakai smiled disdainfully, and then said:
"I'll do this."
"There is a high probability that I won't be able to go up the mountain."
"I'm the best at this kind of dirty work."
