Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 345 The Hunt Begins

"Look, what is professionalism?"

Lieutenant Colonel Freddy sat in the headquarters tent and whispered to the staff officer beside him, "This is what we call professionalism. As expected of the U.S. Special Forces."

At this time, the temporary front-line command center had been arranged into the model of a US military field command center. Several military laptops were placed on the table, and the command platforms of various military forces were also connected to the ODA team's command and control system.

Because they have conducted joint training many times before, the data interfaces are compatible, so there is no compatibility issue at all.

Such linkage can also directly mark the location of each group in the system through one of the computers, allowing the command center to clearly see the location of each search team and respond on the computer as soon as the team encounters a firefight.

From the time the ODA team arrived at the scene last night to now, in just eight hours, the entire command has been completely transferred to Colonel James. It can be said that the commander-in-chief of the operation at this time is no longer Freddy, but James.

But Lieutenant Colonel Freddy had no objection at all.

He felt that Colonel James was more professional than himself. After all, the 7th Special Operations Group had always been responsible for special operations missions in Latin America and was quite professional in operations in mountain jungles and rainforests.

With them around, Freddy felt completely at ease.

James has now gathered the company commanders of the AGLAN special forces participating in this operation, assigned them tasks on the map, and explained his roundup plan.

In James' opinion, the target is definitely still in the encirclement and has not escaped.

The reason why there has been no movement in the past two days is that the other party wants to "waste" time with the search and arrest team and adopt the strategy of "dragging it out".

According to his experience, it is not difficult for locals like Morins to survive in the rainforest, and they can easily survive for a month without food.

If it is dragged on, it will do more harm than good to the government forces.

According to previous intelligence, the ELN armed forces do not seem to know that their leader is still alive, and Lieutenant Colonel Freddy deliberately released smoke to inform the media that Morins was killed in a raid on the camp.

This bought valuable time for the success of the entire operation.

As long as the ELN does not know that Molins is still alive, they will not launch crazy attacks to put pressure on the government.

As a result, the two people hiding in the jungle were isolated and helpless, becoming "forgotten people."

But this kind of thing can't be delayed for long. A large number of AGLAN troops are operating in this area, and the army has mobilized an entire regiment. There is no wall that is impenetrable. If Morins and the other two cannot be caught in the short term, the matter will probably be exposed in a few days.

Since the other party wanted to drag it out, Colonel James decided to use the tactic of "forcing" them.

In his words, the two opponents were like two panicked mice, hiding in the corners of a pile of debris. The best way was to poke around in there with a broom, to scare them as much as possible and make them start to run away.

As soon as the enemy makes a move, we can find their traces and immediately send the most elite combat teams to airdrop to the exchange point to encircle and capture them.

Therefore, he planned to take action immediately early this morning and mobilize all the small teams of the AGLAN troops stationed at key locations to act as "brooms" to scare away the rats.

"Lieutenant Colonel."

After arranging everything, Colonel James waved to Freddy.

"Colonel, what's up?"

James pulled Freddy out of the tent and said, "The information on your side is very lacking. Do you have any photos of that Chinese arms dealer?"

"No," Freddy said. "I wanted a picture of him, too, but he was dead before our insider could send it to us."

James said, "Well, follow the plan I just outlined. If my assessment is correct, they'll definitely head northwest, into the heart of the Tbilisi Mountains. There are ELN camps there, and it's their best escape route. However, I'm most worried about their combat effectiveness. You have seven people in each group now. If the elite five-man team in the previous camp couldn't stop the enemy's two, seven might not be able to do the same."

"Then I will send more people, form a team based on the pattern of 14-person teams, and order the two teams to merge into one." Freddy answered as a matter of course.

"No," James said. "You've fallen right into their trap. Currently, you have 50 teams totaling 350 people scattered throughout the jungle. If you combine two teams into one, the number of teams will inevitably be reduced by half, which will create a loophole in the encirclement. If that Chinese arms dealer is truly an expert, he'll definitely use this opportunity to slip through the cracks in your encirclement and escape into the Tbilisi Mountains."

Freddy's eyes widened. "So amazing?! Is there such an amazing person?!"

"How else can you explain how so many of you laid siege to a camp, yet two of them managed to kill five of your men and escape without a trace?" James asked. "That's true..."

Freddy was at a loss.

"What shall we do, Colonel?"

Colonel James said, "My plan is to dispatch five jungle warfare experts from my unit and have them serve as leaders of five search teams northwest of you. These five teams will be the core of the capture operation. The other teams will conduct a dragnet search in this area according to the zoning method. Once the rats are alerted, these five teams will immediately move in to surround the two guys."

Having said that, a smile of determination appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"As long as my people find them, they will not be able to escape from my grasp."

"Alright! I'll follow your instructions, Colonel. The command here is up to you. You take the lead and we'll cooperate!"

Freddy felt relieved as if he had found a backer.

He was indeed troubled in the first two days before James came.

It's like facing a hedgehog with its spines erect, and you don't know where to start.

"The operation is scheduled to start at five in the morning." James looked at his watch: "I'll take a break first. We'll start on time at five o'clock."

……

Five o'clock in the morning.

In the Yere rain forest in Tame area.

The insects that have been screaming all night are tired, the nocturnal animals have begun to return to their burrows, and the daytime animals have gotten up and left their nests to go out in search of food.

The early bird catches the worm.

The sound of birds singing gradually increased throughout the forest.

In the cave, Song Heping, who was sleeping against the wall, suddenly opened his eyes.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch.

Ten past five.

Wiping his face with his hand, he looked into the depths of the cave.

Having been in the darkness for a long time, his vision had adapted and he could vaguely see Morins curled up in a corner of the cave.

He reached out and patted the other person's thigh.

"Wake up."

Morins woke up suddenly, sat up and looked at Song Heping in the dark.

"I'll go out and take a look around. You go out to the observation point and keep an eye on the surroundings. If you notice any movement, notify me according to the previous code."

"it is good."

Mullins got up, rubbed his eyes, sat on the ground and listened for a while before saying, "It seems to be raining."

Song Heping said: "Yes, it is raining, let's go."

After saying that, he turned around and climbed out of the cave.
