The sun shines on the desert in the morning, and a lizard is wandering on the dry sand.
The sound of the helicopter motor gradually came from far to near, and the ground under the lizard's feet began to tremble, becoming more and more violent.
Three helicopters painted in brown-yellow desert camouflage passed by at a low altitude, stirring up a piece of wind and sand on the ground, and the lizard jumped away.
Three helicopters passed over the sky, and the camouflage fuselage and the ground were almost integrated. Flying in the front was a class jaguar transport helicopter, and behind were two Milu armed attack helicopters.
In the cabin of the class jaguar, Liu Ming sat quietly, looking through the porthole at the streamlined desert dunes that were undulating, extending to the boundless distance, like a vast sea. Around Liu Ming was a group of fully armed soldiers of the 6th Army special forces, with their faces covered with desert camouflage, and were on standby with weapons in their hands.
They wore special styles and styles of combat camouflage uniforms, paired with bulletproof vests, and their weapons were mainly modified dynamic rifles and German submachine guns. Each of them wore an armband on their left arm, which contained a hideous scorpion on it, showing the venomous scorpion special forces that were formed shortly after their Southern Military Region.
Liu Ming remembers the old Chinese saying: "If you don't get into a tiger, how can you get a tiger!" He decided to enter Baghdad in person to meet President Saddam. Because Liu Ming firmly believed that Saddam would not do it himself or allow others to openly attack him, a national hero, and the overall situation of the Iran-Iraq War also forced him not to break with him. Therefore, Liu Ming's trip could partially eliminate Saddam's vigilance and gain valuable time for the construction of the South.
Liu Ming was sitting next to him with the fire supporter of the Scorpion Squad. His 9th People's Infantry Division did not participate in the famous Caraluz raid, but also participated in the enemy attack in Susangild Swamp. At this time, he was sitting next to Liu Ming's side, closing his eyes to rest, holding a machine gun in his arms.
Two assaulters sat opposite Liu Ming, one of them was watching a book of Muhammad's "Hadic" with a lingering verbal words while the other was organizing the shaped rocket launcher beside him.
Liu Ming and his subordinates divided into two groups and went to Baghdad alone, while his subordinates engaged in the planned cleaning operation in Basra.
The helicopter flew low above the desert, flying far from the bottom of the ground to avoid detection by military radars. The navigation route was carefully planned in advance, so that the maximum concealment effect could be achieved. It suddenly arrived in Baghdad without Uday and others.
The red light in the cabin was on, and the helicopter was approaching Baghdad. As the terrain was gradually flattening, the helicopter that had lost the cover of the tall sand dunes was easily deployed nearby radars, so Liu Ming and others prepared to land.
After the helicopter flew to a tall sand dune, the pilot's voice came from the intercom: "All of you are here to take care of it and prepare for the plane to land. The helicopter evacuated in one minute. May Allah bless you!"
The helicopter pilot did not know that the boy on his plane with a face full of oil paint was General Kusey, the highest commander of the Southern Military Region, whom he had worshipped for a long time. Therefore, he hovered the helicopter 5 or 6 meters above the ground as usual, so he let the commando plane land.
The special soldiers continued to slide down the rope 6 and fell into the desert. Liu Ming also gritted his teeth and grabbed the rope and slid down. Fortunately, Sahari trained him before leaving, otherwise he would not dare to grab the rope and slide down from the air in the crosswind. He grabbed the rope tremblingly and slid to the ground. As soon as he stepped on the sand, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Liu Ming's unskilled appearance, Lieutenant Serimi was slightly surprised. In his thoughts, Chief Kusai, as a pioneer of special operations, should be proficient in all special operations skills.
The team members who had already slipped down formed a tactical formation to guard the situation. Everyone was eyeing the attacking position, and Liu Ming also picked up his submachine gun to guard the situation, although he knew in his heart that this small weapon was really powerless in combat in the desert.
The last time Lieutenant Serimi slipped down, he let go of the iron buckle on his waist, and the helicopter flew away. The powerful motor sound gradually faded away, and Liu Ming smiled at Lieutenant Serimi, Lieutenant, it’s time for us to go deep into the enemy’s back, have you ever played the game of going deep into the enemy’s back?"
Going deep behind enemy lines? Game? Serimi Lieutenant was dizzy and didn't understand what Liu Ming was saying. Liu Ming laughed and waved his hand and said, "Let's go, gentlemen, let's visit the master here!" Then he walked away. Serimi Lieutenant did not dare to be negligent, and immediately waved his hand and led the team to follow closely...
In the early morning, there was another set of pictures. A young man looked around vigilantly and saw that there was no suspicious scene around him. So he walked into a hidden alley, surrounded by old Arab dirt houses, and there were no pedestrians in the morning, so no one noticed him when he walked in. The man walked to the door of a dilapidated house and gently buckled the door with his hands.
The rhythmic knocking sound was extremely loud in the morning, which made the man feel a little uneasy. He turned around and looked around. The thin morning light was still as quiet as usual, and no figure appeared from it.
Finally the door opened, a graceful masked Arab woman glanced at the visitor and let him into the room. Then she leaned over and looked vigilantly, then closed the door.
Haval, who was hiding in the distance and observed through a telescope, cursed gently in his mouth, and then said softly on the radio: "The target has entered, report the locations of each group!"
A calm answer immediately came from the headphones: "Scorpion No. 1 is in place!"
"Scorpion No. 2 is in place!"
"Scorpion No. 3 is in place!"
"The sniper is in place!", "Fire support is in place!"
"I order-" Haval clenched his fists, "Start the assault!"
With his order, among the messy piles of firewood in the alley, several teams of fully armed scorpion commandos wearing bulletproof vests and black masks suddenly rushed out of the hidden area in the nearby houses. They set up tactical formations and quickly seized the position, surrounding the house.
"Scoring the door--" A soldier kicked the door open, and the commandos rushed in...
…………
With a loud noise, the door flew out in the air. Several people in the room were shocked. The young man subconsciously pulled the gun. His movements were very fast. When the black shadow appeared at the door, he had already grabbed an Italian Bereta pistol in his hand. But before he could pull the trigger, several black muzzles were pressed in front of him. Looking at the commando in front of him, who were fully armed, with a steel helmet on his head, a bulletproof vest, and only had two eyes exposed, as well as the German submachine guns and rifles in their hands, the man had to sigh helplessly and raise his hands.
The commando immediately followed and captured all three people in the room.
Liu Ming secretly left Basra, but before he left, he and his subordinates planned to clean up Basra's hostile forces, especially the spies lurking beside him and the army. After a few days of secret investigation, Baher secretly released the news that Liu Ming was out for inspection. As soon as the news came out, the forces in Basra City became active immediately. The scorpion troops, which had been secretly transferred back by Liu Ming, were ready to attack and immediately began to arrest people.
This operation was extremely successful, and many secret lurking spies and killers were cleared out. Today's operation targeted the main target of suspicion, a corporal in Liu Ming's guard. This person is an old soldier of the 9th People's Division. He participated in the Susan Swamp Battle and the Basra Defense Battle with Liu Ming and Bachelor, and made considerable military achievements, so he was selected into the guard.
The guard's hometown is Mosul in the north. He has no relatives in Basra, but he often spends nights in Basra, which aroused the suspicion of the old spy, Jeffrey Wasberg. He immediately ordered the surveillance of this person. Sure enough, he was related to some lurking elements in Basra. So Jeffrey Wasberg commanded Haval's scorpion troops to carry out the arrest.
They took the prisoners back to the base for interrogation. From the results of the interrogation, they learned that the woman was the guard's mistress, and the person who talked to the rebel guard was a security department staff from Baghdad. Under the torture of Jeffrey Wasberg, this person could not bear it. The confession was that he came to Basra to lurk on the orders of the security department officials and used the rebel guard to obtain Liu Ming's intelligence. As for whom the orders issued to the security department officials, he could not know.
After seeing that more information was no longer available, Jeffrey Wasberg ordered the torture to stop and let the doctor treat the two people. Although the value of these two people was exhausted, it might be useful to leave them. Therefore, he ordered that no one could execute prisoners without his consent.
But Haval ignored Jeffrey Wasberg's orders and came directly to the prison and into the room where the betrayal guards were imprisoned. Since the guards were all his subordinates, they were often hindered.
He looked at the betrayer coldly, suppressing his emotions and asked, "Kulari, why did you betray us? Have you forgotten the days when we followed Chief Kusey to fight for Iraq together?"
Kulari smiled miserably, Val, you don’t understand. Kusa will not win, only President Saddam is the only savior of Iraq!”
"It seems that I really misread you," Haval shook his head and wanted to tell you that - as Chief Kusey told us, no one is Iraq's savior, our savior is ourselves!" A crisp gunshot sounded in the prison room, and Haval walked out without looking back, never looking back to take a look...
