Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 241 Intelligence
Kashiwa sneezed twice more.

This sneeze is really weird.

He didn't feel like he had a cold, nor did he feel unwell, but he just sneezed.

Just as Gasem and his men disappeared from Kashiwa's sight, Kashiwa suddenly heard a familiar voice.

That was the roar of the helicopter and the sound of the propeller's airflow.

Kashiwa felt all the hairs on his body stand up.

Having been transporting goods on the Persian Plateau for many years and dealing with the Persian Revolutionary Guards, border police and army, he is very familiar with the sound of the Bell 214A medium-sized general-purpose helicopter.

The Persian troops stationed nearby often used these helicopters to attack them.

The Bell 214A helicopter was purchased by Persia before the falling out with the United States. In fact, the Bell 214A is a civilian upgraded version of the UH-1H "Huey" military medium-sized general-purpose helicopter. The difference is that it is equipped with an LTC4B-8D ​​turboshaft engine produced by Marsh Lycoming. The rated power has been greatly increased from the latter's 1419 shaft horsepower to 2930 shaft horsepower. It is far superior to the UH-1H in carrying capacity, safety and reliability. The noise level has been reduced and the flight speed has also been improved.

After the two sides fell out in 79, Persia made some improvements to the Bell 214A helicopter, adding weapon brackets, installing rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles, and adding machine guns to the cabin to provide fire support for ground attacks.

Two Bell 214A helicopters soared into the sky from behind the mountain like big black birds. The rocket launchers hanging on both sides of the huge belly made Kashiwa on the ground feel like the god of death was passing over his head.

Whoosh whoosh—

Flames spewed out from the tail of the rocket launcher, and several rockets rushed to the ground, trailing black smoke.

Then a huge fireball rose up and black smoke rose from the other side of the hill.

Kashiwa could tell without even seeing the explosion point that the enemy must have hit the reconnaissance team that had just been sent out.

Poor Gasem would have been torn into pieces by now.

"Run! Run!"

Only then did Kavasi realize that he had fallen into a huge trap.

Abel didn't answer the phone not because he was busy or because his phone was out of battery or had no signal.

But he is finished.

Being able to use the Bell 214A helicopter to participate in the operation is definitely not something that a border police squadron leader like Abel can do.

It's the Revolutionary Guard!
The name of this armed force that Kavasi feared the most flashed through his mind.

For a moment, he only hated that his donkey had only four legs.

After the two Bell 214As attacked the reconnaissance team, they still saw hundreds of people crowding around not far away on the ground.

When transporting drugs, Kavasi usually adopts a small team mode and transports them in a dispersed manner. If he encounters aerial reconnaissance, he will immediately hide to avoid the enemy's attacks.

Today is different.

The location here is relatively open and there is no place to hide hundreds of people at the same time.

What's more, the team was in chaos at this time.

Fear struck every soldier.

Faced with air power, ground infantry is like an ant and has no way out, especially in the absence of individual anti-aircraft missiles, it is a one-sided massacre.

Next to the cabin, soldiers from the Special Brigade of the Persian Revolutionary Guard set up their machine guns and fired at the ground.

It felt like conducting a hunt on a migrating herd of buffalo.

Due to the large number of soldiers in the revolutionary brigade, every shooting resulted in gains.

The crowd fell like leeks.

Kawasi jumped off the donkey and began to escape on foot.

Although riding a donkey saves energy, the target is too obvious.

Run on your legs and find a hiding place to avoid the attack of the helicopter.

What he didn't expect was that Song Heping had no intention of giving him a chance to live.

The Persian Revolutionary Guard's special brigade had no intention of giving him a chance to escape.

Taking advantage of such a rare opportunity, Avanti directly ordered Nasin to mobilize all the army and air force units that could be mobilized near Ahvaz to rush to the Persian Plateau, and to take off four transport helicopters and four Bell 4A modified attack helicopters from the eastern cities of Zahedan and Birjand to Ahvaz, and issued a death order - annihilate the entire enemy!
“They’re done.”

Seeing a helicopter appear in the distance, Song Heping put away his binoculars and said to everyone, "Retreat to the ravine and hide well. Don't let the helicopter see us. It looks like we'll be staying here for a long time today."

There is no friend-or-foe identification device between him and Nasin. In fact, it is a very risky thing for Afanti to send special forces here.

If the people on the helicopter discovered that there was another small team here, it would be difficult for them to tell whether they were from the Revolutionary Brigade or someone else, even though Nasin had instructed that they must not open fire when seeing armed personnel who were not from the Revolutionary Brigade.

But who can predict what happens on the battlefield?

Hide and wait until the cleanup here is completed. Then confirm with Nashin that everything is fine. Only then can you be considered truly safe.

The sound of gunfire lasted for more than two hours before it completely subsided.

Song Heping waited for another hour, budgeting the time for the troops to clean up the battlefield, before he avoided Mist and found a quiet place to contact Nasin and confirm the war with him.

Unsurprisingly, the revolutionary brigade was almost wiped out.

In the end, there were only more than 200 people who surrendered. They just knelt on the ground and raised their guns above their heads to surrender.

The body of commando leader Kawasi was also found. He was hit by a helicopter's machine gun while escaping and rolled down a steep hillside, breaking his neck. It is not known whether he died from a broken neck or from being shot.

Finally, Song Heping asked Nasin to restrain all troops from searching the northeast, explaining that his detachment would proceed from here to Yazdan, where they would cross the border and return to Peshanjan in Afghanistan. Nasin assured Song Heping of their safety and told them to leave without worry. The news of the annihilation of over a thousand members of the Revolutionary Brigade in the plateau was likely well known by now. All armed groups operating in the New Golden Moon knew that the Persian Special Forces were operating there today, and they had likely retreated to Pakistan and Afghanistan. At least in the Persian Plateau, Song Heping's group was likely the only one left besides the Persian Special Forces.

After hanging up the phone, Song Heping stood there and secretly thought about the route, then returned to the group.

"Brothers, the gunfire has stopped. We should be safe now. Let's retreat back to Afghanistan."

In the direction of Kandahar, in the ISA command post.

The sun has set in the west, and it will be dark in a while.

Nicky hasn't slept a wink since last night.

Reconnaissance planes continued to fly back and forth along the Afghan-Persian border.

In the morning, a reconnaissance plane reported that a large number of electromagnetic signals were detected in the direction of Awaz. According to the detection, they were all in the military frequency band.

It can be seen that the Persian army is carrying out some major operation over there. Based on the strength and frequency of the signal, it is estimated that more than two regiments of troops have been mobilized.

Nicky felt a little desperate when he heard the news.

Why did the Persians deploy so many troops to Ahvaz?

She looked at the map.

Ahvaz is a small town located on the northern border of the Persian Plateau.

Gini felt that Song Heping and Mist's three-person team must have been in a panic and wanted to leave the plateau to avoid being hunted down by the Revolutionary Brigade. After all, the Revolutionary Brigade's sphere of influence was limited to the plateau area.

It is estimated that they avoided the revolutionary brigade and encountered the Persian border troops, which led to a conflict.

But more than two regiments of troops?

This made Nikki a little confused.

You want so many troops just to capture three people?

It was evening and it was getting dark.

No more news came from Persia.

This is already the fourth day.

Nicky felt that the chances of survival of Song Heping's team were close to zero.

"Major..."

Tom came over and asked cautiously, "What would you like to eat tonight?"

Tom didn't dare say anything to Nicky during these two days.

He privately informed the headquarters about the operation, and Brigadier General Miles came in person to stop the entire operation. Nicky looked at him that day as if he wanted to eat him.

Nicky didn't answer for a long time.

Tom was about to turn around and leave quietly, but was stopped.

"Tom, pour me a cup of coffee without sugar."

Tom was delighted when he heard this.

Nikki asked herself to pour the coffee, apparently to excuse herself.

"Okay, Major."

Nikki sighed.

She didn't want to blame Tom.

After all, his men also had good intentions.

If the ISA quick reaction team enters the Persian Plateau and encounters the Persian army, any mistakes after the battle will make shocking headlines.

Once news of this level comes out, international oil prices will probably be affected, and the politicians in the White House will probably be furious.

As for me, I'm afraid I'll be in big trouble. I might be court-martialed or even go to jail...

"Major!"

An intelligence analyst sitting in front of a computer stood up, took a document out of the printer, and walked up to Nikki.

"I think you should take a look at this intelligence. It just arrived."

Nicky glanced at the content and his face was immediately filled with surprise.

"What's going on? Is the source of this information reliable?!"

"It's reliable. It came from an insider we planted in the revolutionary brigade. Although his level is not high, he is very credible." said the analyst.

Nikki's eyes returned to the paper again.

The message is written on it——

"...Currently, a split has emerged within the Revolutionary Brigade. Number one, Azar, and number two, Hula, have both been killed. Number three, Kawassi, and over a thousand elite soldiers were annihilated by Persian special forces on the Persian Plateau. A power vacuum has emerged, and various factions are vying for territory, leading to fierce clashes..."

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
