Chapter 924: Disconnection, the Truth (asking for monthly tickets)
at the same time.
Outside the town, Gu Ji and others were exchanging fire with an armed convoy.
Just dodged an enemy rocket.
Then a sandstorm came.
Even with the noise-cancelling headphones on, Gao Bo could still feel the whistling wind, which irritated his eardrums and made them itchy.
The four-eye night vision goggles were even more blurry.
"No! Captain, if this continues, we will all be swallowed alive by the sandstorm!"
Pasili roared and was swallowed by the sandstorm.
As a special police officer from Jinbang, he had often faced missions in barren mountains before and was very aware of the dangers of the current extreme weather.
Lei Wanshan raised his four-eye night vision goggles.
Scan the area with your naked eyes.
"First, get out of the enemy's fire range, activate the PLB satellite emergency coordinates, and send an encrypted signal!"
"Yes!"
Ye Xiaoshu heard the instruction and did it immediately.
This is because once a sandstorm hits, it will interfere with satellite signals, especially satellite positioning.
No one knows how long this sandstorm will last in the end, in order to avoid losing contact.
They must send emergency beacons in advance.
Wu Kang shouted after pressing the PLB.
"Captain, are we going to gather back in the car?"
"No, you can't go back to the car."
Gu Ji refused outright:
“A car cannot stop a sandstorm this big, so you have to find rocks, dry riverbeds, or the leeward side of sand dunes as a barrier;
To the southwest, in the direction of my finger, I remember that on the battle map, there was a dry riverbed not far from there, about four or five hundred meters away! "
"From now on, everyone listens to Gu Ji!"
Lei Wanshan gave an order.
This can be regarded as a transfer of command to Gu Ji.
This is one of the reasons why he spoke before Captain Lei spoke.
Despite the 79 major case.
Lei Wanshan inherited almost all of his tactical knowledge and skills seven years ago.
But when it comes to dealing with natural disasters, he is far inferior to Bian Shizhang and can only rely on tactical analysis to carry out some emergency command.
This was also the reason why he did not scramble for the command of disaster relief when there was a heavy rain in Jingzhou and the reservoir collapsed.
And the map that Gu Ji mentioned.
On the one hand, it comes from his super memory ability, and on the other hand, it comes from the ORS military reconnaissance images granted by the system plug-in.
but.
Gu Ji discovered.
Even a powerful system satellite is prone to trajectory deviation due to interference from electromagnetic waves.
In other words, he couldn't rely entirely on system navigation.
Fortunately, Gu Ji had a lot of knowledge about wilderness survival tactics in his mind.
Use the "death extrapolation method" to mark the direction with a compass and check the step count and time every 100 meters you move.
By comparing it with the system's satellite navigation trajectory data, you can get relatively accurate direction navigation.
But before that...
"Captain Lei, the sandstorm is getting worse and worse. Vision and communication are almost impossible. If we want to prevent people from getting separated, the easiest way is to tie them up with safety ropes!"
"Okay, I'll choose you as the anchor officer!"
Just because Lei Wanshan is not proficient in natural disasters doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand basic wilderness survival and tactics.
Such an extreme environment.
Not to mention humans, even a professionally trained police dog like Stinger would be useless.
Once lost.
Coupled with the failure of communications, the final outcome was death from exhaustion and thirst.
And now.
Gu Ji is obviously the only one in the team who has the strongest adaptability and knows the direction of evacuation.
Lei Wanshan naturally had to anchor him.
Let everyone follow him closely.
then.
Under the joint command of the two.
Everyone took out their safety ropes, leaving about seven or eight meters of rope, and hung them on Gu Ji's tactical belt.
Including the stinger, which was also tied to his side.
This way.
Naturally, the scout who was responsible for leading the way was replaced by Gu Ji.
"Everyone follow me. Gao Bo, Wu Kang, and Pasili, maintain a circular defensive formation. The rest of you will take turns monitoring the enemy's movements.
Li Yanan, focus on using thermal imaging!"
He quickly named a few people.
It happens to be the team behind you: three key points: left, middle and right.
Once the team starts moving.
These three points can basically cover a 270-degree warning range.
Gu Ji was in charge of the front.
The rest of the people take turns to assist.
As for Li Yanan, as a precision shooter, she is very good at imaging reconnaissance.
In an environment like the one we are facing now, where visibility is less than 5 meters, the detection capabilities of technical equipment are far stronger than those of the human eye.
"understand!"
Several people responded in unison.
Immediately after Gu Ji gave an order, everyone began to move collectively.
Fortunately, Gu Ji had just experienced the London smog checkpoint.
When the smog was at its worst, visibility dropped to 0 meters, and you could hardly see your hand in front of you.
This feeling of "blind people finding their way".
He already had experience and walked more skillfully than others.
As for Delta B Team and Ranger Rapid Reaction Force.
Because of communication interference and sandstorms.
They had long lost contact with each other.
"Damn it! We were on the verge of catching our target, but it was all ruined by this sandstorm!"
Gao Bo followed while keeping alert.
He couldn't help but complain, "Is this weather weapon so invincible? With our country's military technology level, can't we deal with it?"
"The higher-ups are already trying to come up with a solution. Gu Ji's father, Comrade Gu Jian, is currently in charge of following up on this matter!"
The one who responded to him was Zeng Dan from the team.
Gu Ji was slightly moved.
I didn’t expect my dad had so many responsibilities to shoulder.
Time passes minute by minute.
The sandstorm is getting bigger and bigger.
The grains of sand were like countless steel needles, whipping everyone's gas masks, and every step forward was pushed by the strong wind.
The compass was shaking wildly under the electromagnetic interference, and the needle on the dial was trembling like a frightened hummingbird.
In the military satellite navigation screen in Ye Xiaoshu's hand, the green dot representing himself would shift strangely every few seconds.
The situation Gu Ji faced was not much better than his.
I can only focus more on the "death calculation method", silently counting the rhythm of each step, and at the same time always paying attention to the slight pull from the safety rope.
Sudden.
Gu Ji's tactical boots stepped into a soft sand pit and he almost fell down.
He instinctively reached out to support himself on the ground, but his palm touched something hard.
In his blurry vision, he vaguely saw a section of exposed rock edge.
"It's a dry riverbed! We're there!"
Gu Ji felt relieved, knowing that shouting was no longer effective, so he immediately pulled the safety rope to send a signal to the team members behind him.
Everyone immediately followed the rope and moved closer to this natural barrier with difficulty.
When Wu Kang, the last one, stumbled in, the intensity of the sandstorm reached its peak.
Gu Ji lay on the riverbed, using his body to protect the stinger, feeling that the whole world was being swallowed by the yellow sand.
All the communication equipment in their hands had completely failed, and the only sounds they could hear were the howling of the wind and the dense sound of sand hitting tactical equipment.
Ye Xiaoshu tried to open the tactical tablet.
The screen flashed a few times and then went completely black. Even military equipment had problems in extreme environments.
"Captain Lei, we have completely lost contact!"
"Don't worry about the equipment for now. Gao Bo, Wu Kang, and Pasili, use stun grenades to place a few more early warning mines around the area and set up an ambush zone.
With the buffer warning, even if the enemy sneaks in by mistake, we have time to react!"
"understand!"
Gu Ji's words are like a beacon in the darkness.
This allowed several people who had just fallen into panic due to the loss of contact to quickly find the direction of the command.
At this time, on the other side of the earth.
Inside the CTOC Joint Strategic Command Center.
The atmosphere was so heavy that one could almost squeeze water out of it.
On the huge electronic screen, the signal light spots representing Gu Ji and others completely disappeared in the sandstorm area.
Chen Ke stared at the satellite cloud map, his knuckles turning white from pinching.
The technician on the side hurriedly reported:
"Reporting to Director Chen, the weather satellite shows that the intensity of electromagnetic interference in the center of this sandstorm has reached a historical extreme, and conventional communication methods are simply unable to penetrate."
"Our satellite relay station has also lost contact."
next second.
When connected to the U.S. command center, the tone of the U.S. Special Operations Division staff was equally gloomy: "Delta Force and Rapid Reaction Force have also lost contact. We have no idea about the situation on the front line now."
For a while.
The air in the conference rooms of both countries seemed to be frozen. Only the hurried footsteps of technicians and the hum of equipment broke the silence from time to time.
Liao Yunqing from the Intelligence Department frowned and said worriedly:
"Director Chen, you think nothing will really happen to them, right?"
"With Lei Wanshan and that kid here, we were able to get through the rainstorm in Jingzhou. We should be able to handle it this time as well..."
Chen Ke said something to comfort her.
But I felt a little unsure.
After all, the two disasters are completely different, and this time they have to face enemy crossfire.
"Damn it! Can't we get in touch with Carlos yet?"
"I'm sorry, Colonel, there's nothing I can do."
Just when several senior US special forces commanders were becoming anxious.
Suddenly.
An intelligence technician stumbled into the conference room:
"Colonel! Something happened!"
He gasped and took the tablet, on which several cut videos were playing.
on the screen.
Zaka's body fell coldly to the ground with a bullet in the head.
Then there were images of Black Hawk helicopters flying over town, delta-rappelling.
Finally, there are several "soldiers" wearing special forces uniforms, "massacre" innocent civilians.
Each clip is only a few seconds long.
It was obviously a secretly filmed video with a cell phone, but at the end of the video, a subtitle calling itself "Justice League" flashed above the screen.
The voice-over declared in an impassioned tone:
"We, the THEO organization, have successfully killed Zaka, the leader of the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda, for the sake of human peace! However, these invaders from big countries are killing innocent people indiscriminately!"
"Damn it! Who sent this?"
After watching the video.
The staff lieutenant colonel was so angry that he slammed the table in front of him.
“I don’t know, the publisher used hacking techniques and suddenly spread it on major online platforms around the world, and it was impossible to ban it;
Now, these extremely inflammatory videos have begun to spread around the world, and I am afraid that public opinion has already..."
The intelligence technician no longer dared to continue.
Mission failure is not terrible.
What is really terrifying is that their original plan was actually realized by the THEO organization first, and then they were discredited in a backlash.
now.
All frontline participants have lost contact and they have no way to defend themselves.
"Colonel, the staff officer is contacting the chairman!"
"Fake!!"
At this moment, the name he least wanted to hear came into the conference room.
The staff colonel gritted his teeth and cursed, then resisted the pressure and picked up the phone.
What greeted him was a barrage of scolding.
The Xia Country CTOC also discovered the information on the Internet.
It took less than two hours.
On social media, all kinds of angry voices came like a tide.
Topics such as "Expose the state's atrocities!" and "Give me back the truth!" quickly topped the hot search list. Countless people were deceived by the false images, and their anger continued to ferment.
THEO, which was previously labeled a "terrorist organization" by various countries, has now transformed itself and turned into a "sword of justice."
Many private media outlets have reprinted the report, and some have even asked the United States and Xia to explain this "serious violation of international humanitarian law."
"call……"
Backstage at the White House Department of Defense emergency press conference.
A middle-aged white man in a blue-black military uniform took several deep breaths.
As the spokesperson, Pique was so anxious that his scalp was tingling with anxiety as he held the manuscript in his hands, which had been discussed in an internal meeting all night last night.
It was clearly the Special Operations Department's fault, but now the entire Ministry of National Defense has to bear the blame.
And this, arguably the darkest task in history, has now fallen on his head.
Pique felt under tremendous pressure when he thought about the various difficult questions he would face from reporters.
But the time will come soon.
He gritted his teeth and walked out from the backstage.
For an instant.
Countless flash lights were all focused on him.
Peake stood behind the podium.
He began to speak word for word according to the script: "Everyone, we firmly deny the false accusations in the video! Regarding the helicopters and troops that appeared in the picture, we are currently investigating and verifying internally..."
"Haha, these hypocritical guys can actually say such shameless words."
London, England.
In the living room of the villa.
Alia was holding a glass of red wine, watching the speech of the US Department of Defense on TV and giggling.
Cohen, who was standing by, was just wiping the gun parts and took a quick glance.
"Don't worry, they will soon find out that these are useless..."
The voice just fell.
During the live TV broadcast, the journalists who were asking questions suddenly seemed to feel their phones vibrating.
They picked it up and looked at it.
There was an expression of extreme shock on their faces.
This made the spokesman Pique on the stage look confused.
Just when he was about to announce the cancellation of the press conference.
One of the young reporters with curly black hair suddenly rushed to the official camera and showed the screen of the phone in his hand.
It shows an American soldier with a bruised face and nose, tied tightly to a chair.
Next to him was an armed man wearing a black mask, holding documents and information, and actively showing them to the camera.
Word by word:
“Reagan Hill, 36 years old, from Georgia, tut tut… U.S. Army 75th Ranger Regiment nd Battalion Rapid Reaction Force Sergeant;
Hill, wake up, please tell everyone loudly, where are you now? "
"I... I am currently in Yemen, carrying out a secret special mission of the Joint Special Operations Division. I am willing to use my life to guarantee that the content in the video is all true!" (End of this chapter)
