Missiles that cost 30,000 US dollars were indeed powerful. Once the Hellfire was fired, more than a dozen Rangers at the front were blown to smithereens. More than a dozen Marines around them were also caught in the flames and burned to a crisp. Major Smith's eyes almost popped out of his head.
Major Smith's eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets. Dozens of his team members were killed by the missile just like that. The elite, brave and skillful rangers who had followed him for many years were blown into ashes mercilessly. None of his brothers who were leading the front survived. Lieutenant Colonel Smith couldn't accept such a scene at all. He had never suffered such a great loss even when leading his rangers across Central Asia and the Middle East. Major Smith was already gnashing his teeth in hatred.
Jiang Cheng didn't give the US military much time to catch their breath. After firing the first missile, he fired two more Hellfire missiles in a row without any hesitation. The solid line of defense formed by the Rangers and the Marines was immediately riddled with holes.
The explosive power of the three missiles made even Jiang Cheng feel afraid. He turned on the machine gun at the nose of the helicopter and pressed the switch. The machine gun let out a tongue of flame. The 30mm bullets directly pierced through the vehicles and directly broke the US Army soldiers hiding behind the vehicles. The US Army soldiers hiding behind the vehicles didn't dare to continue fighting. They ran away while cursing loudly.
Spider and Lei Bao, who were on the ground, saw that the line of defense on the opposite side had been destroyed by a few missiles. The two of them led the remaining ten members and quickly broke out of the encirclement, disappearing into the busy streets.
Jiang Cheng piloted the helicopter and used up the remaining ammunition one after another. He rewarded the last three missiles to the troops chasing after him. After a series of bullets, the rookies at the back covered their heads and fled like rats.
Seeing that the crisis had been resolved, Jiang Cheng directly drove the helicopter away, leaving behind a ground full of soldiers and a torrent of abuse.
He found an open area and stopped the helicopter. After stopping the helicopter, he used a grenade to destroy it. The helicopter couldn't be driven back anyway. It was better to destroy it than let the enemy drive it back.
Jiang Cheng threw Zhang Shunxiang to the ground, pointed the pistol at his head, and scolded, "Tell me, where are the things?"
Zhang Shunxiang was so scared that he knelt on the ground and said, "I didn't bring it. I hid it in a secret place in Hong Kong."
Jiang Cheng was so angry that he almost fainted. He didn't expect Zhang Shunxiang to be so cunning. He didn't expect Zhang Shunxiang to be so cunning as to hide it in Hong Kong instead of taking it with him. This was troublesome. It would be difficult for him to return to China now, because Old D would definitely not let him leave safely. The MI5 of Country E and Japan's Metropolitan Police Department were not incompetent either. It would be really difficult to escape with Zhang Shunxiang. If Zhang Shunxiang had brought that thing with him, Jiang Cheng could have shot this traitor in front of him right now, and then he and Scorpion could calmly sneak back to China.
"F * ck, you're quite smart. You actually know how to sneak in. Tell me, where is the thing in Hong Kong?" Scorpion kicked Zhang Shunxiang angrily.
"I won't tell you unless you take me back to China. I know that if I tell you, my death will come. I won't tell you unless you promise that you will take me back to China safely."
Jiang Cheng was so angry that he almost choked. Zhang Shunxiang really knew how to think. He knew that he would kill him immediately after knowing the whereabouts of the information, but when he returned to China, it would be hard for him to kill him, because the leader certainly didn't want him to die. After all, a living person was sometimes more useful than a dead person.
"F * ck, you have guts. Let's go." Jiang Cheng pulled Zhang Shunxiang, who was kneeling on the ground, and then left with Scorpion, who was carrying the mantis's body.
...
Lieutenant Colonel Taylor was about to go crazy today. The operation he had carefully organized was destroyed by Chinese agents. Not only did he lose an Apache helicopter worth 60 million US dollars, but he also lost six agents and dozens of Marines. How many reports would he have to write to explain this? If the military wanted to investigate, he might even be sentenced. This was an outcome that Taylor had never expected.
Major Smith was also about to collapse. The Special Forces Rangers who had followed him for seven or eight years were killed by a few famous Hellfire missiles made by his own country. More than a dozen Marines were also burned alive. This was a hard slap in the face for the Rangers. Major Smith was extremely sad and indignant at the moment.
Taylor and Smith were not willing to let the Chinese escape just like that. They calmed down and reorganized their men. This time, Taylor directly transferred a team of Marines from the Pacific Fleet over. They swore to wipe out the Chinese, leaving not a single one alive. Then, they would take back Zhang Shunxiang and the top-secret information in his hands.
However, just as they were getting ready to go, a call from the mainland interrupted their operation. Brigadier General Helen was very dissatisfied with Lieutenant Colonel Taylor. Now that the Chinese had successfully escaped with Zhang Shunxiang, it would not be so easy to snatch him back. Besides, although China's latest carrier-based aircraft posed a certain threat to Country D, it was not enough to threaten the safety of Country D. If they could get the information, it would naturally be the icing on the cake, but it did not matter if they couldn't.
It just so happened that the Taliban forces near Afghanistan had been very rampant recently. Brigadier General Helen directly transferred Smith and his Rangers there. Lieutenant Colonel Taylor, on the other hand, did not have it so good. The general asked him to return immediately and prepare for a joint investigation by the Intelligence Agency and the military …
Jiang Cheng and Scorpion quickly rushed to the evacuation point for Plan A. After meeting up with their team members, they adjusted their state of mind, destroyed their weapons on the spot, cremated the mantis, put away the ashes, and changed into casual travel clothes.
They all acted alone and did not fly directly from Country F to Hong Kong. Instead, Jiang Cheng took Zhang Shunxiang by sea. They first went to Singapore, then took a black boat to Bangkok, Thailand. Finally, they used the fake passports they got in Bangkok to buy a direct flight to Hong Kong. The short journey took nearly a week.
In Hong Kong, Jiang Cheng obtained the information. Zhang Shunxiang copied the information on four 4TB hard drives and placed them in a safe box in a bank in Hong Kong. Zhang Shunxiang had to bring Jiang Cheng there personally to retrieve the hard drives.
Jiang Cheng looked at the hard drives in his hand and said to Zhang Shunxiang, "Damn it, we're in China now. If I still had my temper in the past, I'd f * cking shoot you right now and make you pay for my brother's death. F * ck, traitor."
Jiang Cheng spat on Zhang Shunxiang's face, then threw him to the National Security Agency agent beside him. He himself took the hard drive and boarded the plane to Beijing.
In Beijing, in a mysterious building covered by trees, Jiang Cheng was sitting on a chair, waiting for the general to summon him. This time, he had successfully led the Langya Squad out of danger, which made the chief and the general heave a sigh of relief. The chief had personally ordered to give Jiang Cheng the National Defense Medal of Honor. This time, Jiang Cheng was there to receive the medal.
However, as he had already lost his military status, he was only given a medal. There was no promotion in his military rank. Due to the outstanding performance of the Langya Squad, they were awarded a Class 1 Unit Merit and every member of the squad was promoted. Mantis, on the other hand, had stepped forward bravely at a critical moment and attracted the enemy's firepower. He was given the title of a martyr by the military and his family was given a pension for his death.
Jiang Cheng sat on the chair anxiously. Just now, the general's secretary told him that the general was making a call inside and asked him to wait outside. However, he had already waited for more than an hour. Why hadn't the general summoned him yet? As Jiang Cheng was thinking about this, Jiang Cheng heard General Ning's voice coming from inside.
