The 100-meter mine-clearing rope sent by the engineer platoon was a great help to the special forces. Otherwise, if they had to rely on grenades to push forward a distance of 70 meters, not to mention safety, all the grenades would probably be used up.
Once a follow-up battle occurred, the special forces, who already lacked heavy firepower, would be passive.
At the same time, the scout at the front reported that one of the two scouts was killed, and the other escaped with injuries. In the end, he stepped on a powerful landmine and was blown to pieces. Probably because the scene was too bloody, the scout's voice was a little dry when he reported.
After three consecutive explosions from the mine-clearing rope, the end of the safe passage opened was less than 40 meters away from the wooden house. With the help of the strong flashlight, they could vaguely see the collapsed corner of the wooden house through the gaps between the trees and vegetation.
After An Jingzhe contacted Bao Guohua, all the sentries outside the wooden house withdrew. Ten seconds later, the mine-clearing rope exploded, and the passage was finally opened after more than ten landmines exploded.
After confirming that the passage was safe, the two special forces teams finally met up with the trapped armed police officers.
There were a total of 37 armed police officers trapped. When the special forces team entered the wooden house, six of them had already been sacrificed. Other than the three who sacrificed themselves at the beginning, the other three could not be treated in time due to their serious injuries and would never breathe again.
Among them was the commander of this unit, a major of the armed police.
When Qu Sen saw the body of the major of the armed police, he immediately thought of He Zhangzhong. The two of them were equally young, had the same rank of major, and were lying there covered in blood.
There was no time to mourn the martyrs. Most of the wounds of the wounded had fragments and steel balls. Although hemostatic powder and pressure bandages were applied, the bleeding was still difficult to stop.
Seven of the wounded had internal organs injured or lost a lot of blood in the explosion and were now in a severe coma. Another 13 people were also seriously injured, and the rest of the officers were basically all injured.
An Jingzhe ordered a small team to split into several groups to guard the passage. After the passage was safe, he informed the engineer platoon and the first aid team behind to rush over as quickly as possible.
The engineer platoon and the first aid team were on standby less than one kilometer away from the wooden house. In less than ten minutes, they arrived along the newly opened safe passage.
The emergency team immediately began to perform emergency treatment on the critically injured. An Jingzhe assigned people to use the portable stretchers brought up by the engineering platoon to send the injured away.
More than 30 people from the engineering platoon and the slightly injured armed police soldiers carried the seriously injured. Just as they were about to evacuate, a faint sound suddenly appeared in the air.
"Mortars!" An Jingzhe muttered softly. Then, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Cover the cannons!"
An Jingzhe shouted, and everyone who could move immediately rushed to the seriously injured. Before they could move all the seriously injured to the side of the wall, a series of explosions began outside the house.
The ground continued to tremble slightly amidst the explosions. The entire wooden house trembled, and there were grinding sounds that made one's teeth ache. As the structure gradually loosened, the layer of soil used to maintain the camouflage of the plants on the roof continued to seep down through the cracks in the roof.
The flames from the explosions outside were projected into the room through the window. Between the alternating light and darkness, the airwaves and smoke surged into the room.
"Qu Sen! Investigate!" An Jingzhe's voice sounded.
"Yes!" Qu Sen responded at the top of his voice. Then, he took out the controller from his backpack. After waking it up, he removed the standby state of the "Qin Crossbow."
"Shen Jin, change to the infrared lock-on!" When Qu Sen was doing the hardware self-check, he saw that the mounted component still showed the "power amplifier," so he quickly asked Shen Jin to change it.
"Yes!"
Shen Jin responded. He reached into his backpack and tried to pull out the mounted component box, but he didn't manage to. In a hurry, he put down his backpack and took out the component box. Just as he was about to open the box, a shell exploded near the window.
The sound wave had not yet passed, and the airwaves wrapped in soil splashed into the room through the window. Shen Jin's hand shook, and the component box was knocked over. The mounted components inside fell to the ground.
When Shen Jin hurriedly reached out to pick them up, Qu Sen saw the position of the "infrared lock-on device" with the help of the light from the explosion. He got up from the wall and climbed over to hold it in his hand. Then, he climbed to the side of the back window.
With his body blocking the light from the window in front of him, Qu Sen unplugged the loudspeaker on the Qin crossbow in the dark. Using his hand, he confirmed the direction of the infrared locker's socket and inserted it into the mounting port. Then, he buckled the safety buckle and locked it.
After putting the "Qin Crossbow" on the ground, he quickly leaned back to the wall and picked up the controller. A few seconds later, the "Qin Crossbow" went out of the back window and rose into the air.
After adjusting the camera angle, the monitor screen was full of large and small explosions. The scene of the flames continuing to light up the night was like a scene in a war-themed movie.
After the shell exploded, it triggered landmines in the coverage area from time to time. In a minute, the trees and vegetation in front of the wooden house were almost completely destroyed. The originally severely obstructed line of sight suddenly became clear.
"Captain, the enemy seems to be using artillery to open up a path. Now that the artillery fire has begun to shrink, the wooden house is not within their attack range. "Qu Sen observed for a few seconds and made a judgment.
"They definitely won't blow it up. Not including the gold, just the goods alone are worth hundreds of millions," Bao Guohua shouted in the communication channel.
When the armed police were trapped, the soldiers had already done a simple inventory of the inventory in the wooden house when the battle was not intense.
There were 120 kilograms of gold, all of which were gold bricks that weighed one kilogram. There were also about 700 kilograms of white powder. For the time being, it was impossible to determine whether it was heroin or morphine. There were also about 20 tons of cooked opium (purified and fermented opium).
"They are clearing the mines in order to launch a follow-up attack." An Jingzhe straightened his back slightly, looked out the window, and pressed the communicator. "Qu Sen! Find their artillery positions! "
"Roger!" Qu Sen responded and pulled up the drone. He turned on the camera's night vision and thermal sensor. Under the cover of the night, he circled in the direction of the source of the artillery fire.
The target of the heat source when the mortar was fired was very eye-catching, and the artillery positions needed to be placed in an open area with an elevation angle.
In order to provide a firing angle for the mortar, the unknown armed personnel deliberately chose an area with relatively sparse trees. They also cleared the canopy and the vegetation on the ground, which provided great convenience for the drone's reconnaissance.
The "Qin Crossbow" circled forward for less than three kilometers and found five high-temperature heat sources that were constantly flashing at low intervals.
At the same time, in the forest behind the five high-temperature heat sources, a large number of human-shaped heat source reflection points were vaguely discovered through the gaps in the canopy.
"Five medium-sized mortars, unknown model. Distance about three kilometers, 17 people operating the mortars. Position three southeast, already marked on the tactical map. In addition, a large number of human-shaped heat sources were found behind the enemy's artillery positions. "
After Qu Sen marked the location of the enemy's mortar positions, he turned off the camera's thermal sensor function and only turned on the night vision as he moved in the direction of the human-shaped heat sources.
The sound of the mortar firing effectively covered the sound of the drone's work. Qu Sen controlled the "Qin Crossbow" to carefully and slowly move through the canopy.
An Jingzhe quickly moved along the base of the wall to Qu Sen's side and glanced at the surveillance screen. "Damn, reinforcements have arrived. Let's not worry about the people first. Can you shoot down the mortars? "
"Three kilometers, just within the attack range of the drone." After Qu Sen replied, he shouted to Shen Jin, "Prepare the ejection rack! Three southeast, angle sixty. Prepare the high-explosive machine. "
"Yes!" Shen Jin nimbly pulled out the ejection rack and opened it. He put his hand on the windowsill and was about to jump out.
"Do you want to die? Jump out the back window." Qu Sen pulled him down from the windowsill.
Shen Jin got up from the ground, ran to the back window with the ejection rack, and jumped out.
Qu Sen pulled the "Qin Crossbow" out of the forest and turned around to approach the mortar position. After activating the "infrared lock-on device," he observed the enemy's five mortars that were distributed in a "W" shape.
He estimated the distribution range in his mind and found that the diameter of the mortar position was more than ten meters.
The effective killing range of the high-explosive drone was ten meters. However, due to the limitations of the combat department's magazine, there were not many explosives loaded. The actual killing range of the explosion was less than five meters. They mainly relied on the scattered steel balls to expand the attack range.
However, although the steel balls could kill the enemy's gunners, they could not destroy the mortars. In reality, the mortars were not as easy to explode as they were portrayed on TV.
If they wanted to use the drone to completely destroy the five mortars, it would take about two to three times.
Qu Sen thought that there were still more than three hundred to four hundred armed personnel in the enemy's forest. Once they launched an attack, they might need the support of the drone's firepower. For this trip, Qu Sen and Shen Jin only brought a total of four high-explosive, four incendiary, and four smoke bombs.
He observed the surrounding environment again and pressed the intercom. "Shen Jin, change to the incendiary."
"Yes, change to the incendiary!"
Outside the room, Shen Jin responded and put aside the high-explosive drone that had just been powered on. He took out the incendiary from his backpack and turned on the power. Then, he pressed the intercom button. "Match!"
Three seconds later, the incendiary and the controller were matched. When Qu Sen started the drone's self-test, he set the "infrared lock-on device" as the target of the "infrared lock-on device" at the ammunition accumulation area about twenty meters behind the enemy's mortar position.
After Shen Jin loaded the drone into the catapult rail, he calibrated the launch direction and angle and pressed the intercom. "The incendiary is ready."
"Launch!"
As Qu Sen's launch command sounded, the "incendiary" detached from the catapult rail in the blink of an eye and shot straight into the air …
The "Qin Crossbow" hovered quietly in the night sky at an altitude of two hundred meters not far from the mortar position. The "infrared lock-on device" hanging below the fuselage emitted an infrared signal that firmly locked onto about fifty boxes of ammunition piled up behind the mortar position.
When the two gunners quickly ran to the anti-ammunition boxes, the one running behind suddenly noticed a faintly glowing red dot on one of the boxes above the pile of boxes. When he took a closer look, he saw a faintly visible red line shooting down diagonally from the night sky.
Just as he looked at the "red line" in the sky, he heard the rumbling sound of cannons. He also vaguely heard the sound of a motor working at high speed, and the sound was getting more and more obvious.
Just as he wanted to remind his companion, who had just carried a box of ammunition in front of him, to pay attention, a faint black shadow suddenly appeared in his line of sight. It was rapidly approaching. One second, it was still blurry, but the next second, he could see it very clearly.
“ai~”
Just as the voice from the armed man's throat came out of his mouth, the thing that flew down from the sky was about to hit the ammunition box.
