Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 796 Atron Oasis

Atron Oasis.

Song Heping welcomed Team A back from Chad here.

Jiang Feng did a fantastic job this time.

"Old squad leader, take a look at these photos."

He took out his phone, pulled up all the photos and videos he had taken, and held it out to Song Heping.

Song Heping held a bottle of mineral water in his hand, calmly drinking it and admiring the results of his tactical deployment.

In the video, the CIA's joint frontline command camp is littered with corpses, and communication equipment and supplies are scattered all over the ground. It can be seen from the footage that Jiang Feng took the video while cleaning up the battlefield.

"Fuck me!"

Song Heping suddenly remembered something.

Did you disinfect it?

"Of course!"

Jiang Feng said, "I still need to save my own life!"

The camp had been attacked by mortar shells containing thorium-232 powder, and anyone who entered the camp would be contaminated with radioactive dust.

Fortunately, thorium-232 is a naturally occurring radioactive material. Although it is also listed as a carcinogen, research shows that its interference with electronic devices mainly stems from its radioactive properties. The radioactivity of thorium-232 produces alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays, which may interfere with the normal operation of electronic equipment.

That's why Song Heping had the cook bring these things from Russia to deal with the CIA's attack.

Before formulating the plan, Song Heping had racked his brains and considered every tactical detail.

The Americans' greatest strength and expertise lies in high-tech warfare.

The attack was a joint operation by the CIA, MI6, and Mossad, meaning they were able to mobilize significant military resources to deal with them, including a powerful communications network and real-time surveillance capabilities that they could not effectively counter.

Especially those disgusting drones.

This thing loiters and scouts at an altitude of 5000-10000 meters, keeping a close eye on the movements of itself and the convoy.

The only way to get rid of their surveillance is to cut off communication between the forward command and the operations forces. It doesn't matter if Langley sees him on their headquarters screens, since they need the forward command and operations forces to effectively strike him.

The key was to attack the Joint Forward Command, cripple communications, and sever links between Langley, the Forward Command, Green Caps, and Delta.

While artillery fire cannot cut off communications quickly, if the forward command is attacked, they can still see their position before the communication signal is completely cut off. They can adjust the position of the Green Berets attack squad at any time and issue warnings to them to be careful.

Thorium-232, however, is different.

Once launched and explodes upon landing, it can disable all exposed satellite antennas and equipment in a very short time.

In addition to these, the most useful tool is of course the EMP bomb.

However, Song Heping currently lacks the resources to acquire such high-tech gadgets. Even if he were to ask the Russians for high-powered jammers, they probably wouldn't be strong enough to interfere with military-use satellite equipment.

To ensure that a single strike would cripple communications, he chose the riskiest yet fastest method: thorium-232 powder.

Song Heping asked the cook how long the radioactivity of thorium-232 could paralyze communications, and the cook said about 15-20 minutes.

that's enough.

In those 15-20 minutes, it was enough for Greenbeard to lose his trail and for him to drive the convoy around to the enemy's rear to coordinate with Team C to launch a pincer attack.

The Green Hat Squad didn't die unjustly. They were defeated by a tactical master like Song Heping, who was bold, meticulous, and willing to take risks. Their defeat was still honorable.

"Weren't we going to North Darfur? How did we end up here?" Jiang Feng asked Song Heping, looking at the vast oasis in front of him with a puzzled expression.

The Sudanese government originally intended for Song Heping to go to Sindi, which is located at the border between North Darfur and Chad. 200 kilometers to the north is Lebia, Gaddafi's territory, and 100 kilometers to the south is the war zone between North and South Sudan.

The area around Sindi is home to an oil field, which is Sudan's second largest oil field region after the Hajilij oil field in Khartoum.

More importantly, Sudan is a country rich in resources. In addition to its abundant arable land and oil, it has gold deposits in more than 150 locations, totaling several thousand tons, as well as more than 12.5 billion tons of iron ore and 1 million tons of chromium ore.

However, due to years of war, not only is the region divided between the north and south, but Darfur is now practically in a state of anarchy, completely disregarding the central government. The North Sudanese regime is already overwhelmed with dealing with the civil war between the north and south, and has no time to attend to Darfur.

Therefore, the resources in this region are currently divided among various armed groups. Not only do southern rebel groups occupy some areas, but local armed groups also occupy some areas, and even armed groups supported by Colonel Lebiaka have occupied a portion of the area.

What the North Sudanese government currently wants Song Heping to do is at least control the oil field resources in the area near Sindi town. As for other gold mines, they no longer dare to hope for them.

Therefore, when they sent Song Heping to establish a base in Cindy Town, they were essentially making Song Heping serve as their free border defense force.

Whether it's commerce, geopolitics, or any other kind of transaction, the essence of everything in this world is the exchange of interests and mutual exploitation.

The North Sudanese government wants oil fields and money, while Song Heping wants a foothold and territory.

North Darfur was Song Heping's first foothold in Africa.

“The location of Atron Oasis is very unique.”

Song Heping pointed to the distant mountains to the north and said to Jiang Feng, "To the north is the Great Gillespie Plateau."

He pointed eastward and said, "To the east is the Eblaye Plateau."

Then he pointed west: "That area near the Chadian border is the Eldi Plateau."

After saying that, he turned to Jiang Feng and asked, "Only to the south are jungles and plains, do you understand?"

Jiang Feng scratched his head and looked at it for a long time: "It looks like it's surrounded by mountains on three sides, the feng shui is good..."

"Damn it, I asked you to look at the terrain, and you just look at feng shui?" Song Heping couldn't help but say, "It's a good thing I didn't make you a high-ranking commander back then."

Jiang Feng chuckled and said, "Just kidding. Actually, I can tell that you're trying to avoid having nowhere to retreat. Having a powerful backer has its advantages. If we can't win, we can just go into the mountains and become the king of the mountain."

"Hmm...you've improved."

Song Heping said, "The terrain in the plateau region is complex, making it a good place to hide. We have so many formidable enemies right now, and we will have to fight the armed groups here in the future, so we definitely need to consider our options."

"However, I have a concern..."

Jiang Feng frowned, looking worried, and said, "We're setting up a base here, what do you think...?"

He stopped there.

Song Heping asked, "Just say what you want to say. Are you worried that the Americans will send drones to bomb us directly?"

“Yes, I have that concern.” Jiang Feng said frankly, “You know, although we have now obtained the protection of the North Sudanese regime, it’s not okay to do it openly. The CIA will definitely play dirty tricks. We’ve killed so many of their people, and those guys, MI6, and Mossad will not let us go.”

"Mossad doesn't dare to operate openly in Africa; they just infiltrate. The Americans, on the other hand, have that capability. That's why I don't plan to establish a base near Cindy. It's too close to Chad there, and it's hard for us to defend against their drones coming from there. They can bomb us and then run away, and we can't do anything about it. But it's different here. They have to fly at least one or two hundred kilometers to get here."

"One or two hundred kilometers is not a problem for drones."

"I will figure out a way to deal with this."

Looking thoughtfully at the distant sky, Song Heping murmured, "If I'm not mistaken, they're definitely coming..."
