Xiaomi Heavy Industry, its first entrepreneurial venture!

Chapter 361 They also have drones! (First update!)

This hillside isn't very high, but it's extremely steep, about four or five meters above the ground, with a nearly vertical surface. The only way to climb it is to go around it.

The group leader sighed inwardly, flicked his finger slightly to the right, glanced down at his feet, turned around, and walked further to the right.

Hopefully, nothing will go wrong in these next few tens of minutes!

They had only taken a few steps when Ajax's voice came through the earpiece:
"Wait a minute, there seems to be a path from the village that leads up to the platform. Let me check, don't rush."

Upon hearing this, the second group, who had just started walking, immediately stopped, found some cover nearby, and quietly waited for Ajax's good news.

On one side of the group, Abdullah Jallan pointed his binoculars at the houses in the distance.

The windows of the house were letting in a dim, yellow light, but because the people inside were far from the windows, only a few figures could be vaguely seen in the windows, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.

As he observed, he could hear bursts of noise coming from the distant houses. The noise was intense and didn't sound like chanting; it sounded more like an argument.

Guessing that the other side was arguing, Abdullah Jallan silently prayed that the two groups were negotiating but had failed and were now preparing to draw their swords and kill each other.

If they kill each other, then he can reap the benefits and kill them all.

Successfully completing the mission adds another chapter to my military career.

Just as he finished praying, Ajax's voice came again.

"Second group, the passage is to your right front."

“There are sheep pens there, three sheep pens arranged in a triangular pattern, behind the middle sheep pen.”

"Watch out for the hay on the ground, and the goats!"

"There seems to be a staircase behind that. It looks like you can climb up that hillside by going up that staircase. I can't see it very clearly from here, so you'll have to confirm it yourselves."

"understand!"

Group Two, located to the right of Group One, received a warning from Ajax. The group leader of Group Two led one person ahead, while the other two members stayed behind to keep watch. The four of them walked one after the other toward the goat shed that Ajax had mentioned.

Before they even got close, the leader of the second group suddenly raised his right hand, signaling the people behind him to stop.

Then, everyone followed his finger and looked at the ground. In front of the sheepfold, there was a large amount of hay scattered on the ground, which was very unusual.

The goats in this mountainous area are mainly raised through grazing, and are rarely kept in enclosures.

It was obvious that those were the hidden sentries placed on the ground as a form of warning.

It will definitely make a sound if someone steps on it.

This means that the road really is right behind us!
The group carefully tiptoed around the areas with dry grass and continued toward the sheepfold.

As I passed by the sheepfold, several goats heard the noise and poked their heads out from the gaps in the shed. Their eyes were a deep green in the moonlight, and with their horns on their heads, they looked particularly eerie.

"Could this goat suddenly turn into a devil?"

"That's a Christian legend, it has nothing to do with us. We are Muslims, we believe in Islam."

"Everyone be quiet!"

The two people walking ahead went around the shed and immediately saw the wooden ladder behind it, which was built on a nearly vertical hillside.

Upon seeing the wooden ladder, the leader of the second group gently tapped the earpiece twice. The tapping sound traveled through the earpiece to Ajaz and Abdullah Jalan's ears.

The two of them also started knocking, responding with their own knocking sounds.

Upon receiving the signal, the second group leader slung his rifle behind his back, drew his pistol, and climbed with one hand while keeping his gun at bay.

Behind him, the other three members did the same, simultaneously drawing their guns and pointing them overhead in preparation for any potential crisis.

It took the second group leader a while to finally climb up the ladder, which was four or five meters high.

After climbing the steep hillside, he was met with a narrow path covered with gravel. He dared not move and could only continue tapping his earpiece to warn the people below.

Upon receiving the signal, another team member climbed the wooden ladder.

Following the narrow path, the two carefully made their way to the platform on the hillside ahead, guided by Ajas.

Emerging from the shadows, on a naturally formed platform in the mountain ahead, two people were lying face down, covered with wool blankets on their backs.

In front of the two men, there were some large rocks piled up. The guns in their hands protruded through the gaps between these rocks, pointing directly at the open space in front of them. From below, the two men were completely invisible.

Without drones, if they rashly crossed that open space ahead, they would fall into the sights of these two guys and be ambushed.

The group leader nodded to his companion, then pointed to the person on his left, then pointed to himself with his thumb, and finally pointed to the person on his right.

The team member nodded, indicating that he understood the instructions.

The two men, one on each side, drew their knives and slowly walked towards the two people in front of them.

As they got closer, even the most careful footsteps on the gravel made the two people lying in front of them turn around.

Seeing the two men turn around, the two members of the second group didn't dare to be negligent. They rushed forward and slit the throats of the two men, one on the left and one on the right. Then they used their own weight to press down on the men's bodies, grabbed their heads, and twisted them forcefully.

With their throats slit and their heads twisted, the two sentries struggled for a few seconds before falling silent.

After eliminating the two sentries, the second squad leader observed through binoculars for a while, then pressed his earpiece, suppressing his pounding heart, and whispered:
"Ajax, check if there are any hidden sentries around!"

"This location offers a good view; you can see the back door of that house."

Two or three minutes later, Ajax's voice finally came through the earpiece:
"It's confirmed, no. It's probably because your current location is good, so they set up this spot."

On the other side, upon hearing Ajaz's words, Abdullah Jalan stretched his neck, a cold smile appearing on his face beneath the mask:
"Let's go, let's see what these guys are up to in this house!"

"rush!"

Abdullah Jallan waved his right hand, and the remaining three members of the group rushed out of their hiding place with him, continuing to sneak forward along the road leading to the houses in the distance.

In the house in front of them, several Kurds dressed in traditional Kurdish clothing were arguing incessantly.

“Mark, I think our priority right now should be to withdraw from Turkey and go to Iraq, especially Syria, rather than continue to fight the Turks to the death in Turkey.”

“Rad, I know what you’re worried about, but the problem is, it’s easy to leave, but if we want to come back in, we can’t. If we stay here, we are Kurds, but we are also Turks. We have legal grounds, we have a legitimate reason to stay in this country, but if we leave, Turkey can simply label us as terrorists, and we will not be qualified to come back.”

"The problem is that the Turks have upgraded their weapons and equipment. According to the information summarized by our people, the Turks are upgrading the equipment of the 7th Army and the 9th Infantry Brigade, which we often clash with. Their night vision devices have been deployed to the company level, and in another two years, they may be deployed to the squad level."

"They're upgrading their equipment, and so are we. We're upgrading too. Isn't what you just got equipment?"

"You mean those drones? Okay, I admit they are indeed a powerful tool for mountain warfare, but the problem is, our other weapons are lagging behind. Their company's mortar numbers are increasing, while we lack mortars and heavy firepower!" "We can turn to the Israelis. The ISI recently received a batch of weapons of unknown origin. According to reliable intelligence, those weapons came from Israel."

"Israelis? Mark, you really are... Arabs can only be considered shameless, but Israelis, they can't even be called human!"

"When it comes to survival, does being considered human really matter? Rad, tell me, does it really matter?"

"You two, stop arguing! Be quiet!"

“Grimm, shut up! If we don’t make things clear tonight, we’ll be in doubt whether our branch can continue to exist tomorrow!”

"You two keep arguing! I'm going to play with the drone!" Grimm realized he couldn't persuade the two stubborn guys, so he turned around and left without looking back, walking towards the wall.

Ten boxes were neatly placed in the corner.

The off-white box exterior, the dim yellow light, and the mud-walled house seemed out of place.

The box in the top right corner had been opened. Grimm walked over, took the box off, took out the drone inside, installed the battery, and turned it on.

When the drone and remote control connected and the beep sounded, Grimm carried the drone out of the backyard and released it into the air.

Under the cover of darkness, the drone's optical lens could not see anything.

After recalling how to switch to the infrared camera, Grimm plopped down on the ground and fumbled to switch the camera to infrared mode.

As soon as the camera switched, it captured four figures running towards their large villa.

Looking at the people in the camera lens, Grim tilted his head and began to wonder if something had happened in the village.

But he soon discovered the blind spot.

These people would run a few steps forward and then stop to be on guard. The direction they were on guard was the house they were in and the two sides to their left and right, not the direction of the village.

has a problem!
Thinking of this, he immediately controlled the drone and flew towards the four figures.

Drones are very fast; a distance of tens of meters can be covered in just one or two seconds.

Under the cover of night, Abdullah Jallan looked at the houses so close at hand, raised his hand, and suddenly swung it forward:
"No need for vigilance, charge!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a buzzing sound above his head. Looking up, he saw something very familiar flying toward his head through his night vision goggles.

Drone!
Upon seeing this, Abdullah Jalan instinctively rolled over, pressed his earpiece, and shouted to Ajaz:
"Now is not the time to play around. Raise the drone and keep an eye on your surroundings!"

His words were transmitted to Ajax's ears through the earpiece, and as soon as he finished speaking, Ajax's questioning voice came through the earpiece:
"Our drones have been operating at high altitudes..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ajax let out a suppressed scream through the earpiece:
"They also have drones!"

One sentence sent chills down the spines of the remaining 11 people, making their blood run cold in an instant.

What is a surprise?
This is what you call a surprise!
The equipment you're using and finds extremely useful appears in the enemy's hands.

Abdullah Jalan had even decided where he would be buried, but Ajaz's words made him even more convinced that there was something fishy about the house.

If they could storm the house, capture the people inside, and figure out what was going on, perhaps it would be worth it if their entire 12-man squad died here.

Taking a deep breath, Abdullah Jalan pressed the button on his earpiece:

"We've been exposed! Attack!"

At the command, he picked up his gun with both hands and was the first to rush out.

Beside him, the remaining three members of the group also charged forward.

The four people covered a distance of fifty or sixty meters in just 10 seconds and reached the edge of the house.

The demolition expert in the team took the lead, attaching the bombs he had prepared to the wall.

Seeing his actions, Abdullah Jallan slapped him, snatched the bomb, rushed to the door, and pressed himself against it.

The Hakkari province is located in a high-altitude mountainous region, where the primary need for building houses is warmth.

Therefore, the walls here are very thick.

It's thick enough to render rifles helpless, and even immune to rocket launchers and TNT explosives weighing less than 100 grams.

The explosives detonated the next second, completely destroying the door.

Just as the teammate next to him was about to charge, he was grabbed by Abdullah Jalan.

The next second, countless bullets rained down from inside the door. Some bullets hit the ground and burrowed into it, while others ricocheted due to their angle.

Seeing the bullet marks, the team members who were about to charge gasped, then turned around and pointed their guns at the window next to them.

The moment the gun was pointed, someone leaned out of the window. The next second, the person was shot in the head and fell straight out of the window.

Having killed him with a single blow, the team member prepared to repeat the same tactic, attacking through the window.

Before he could make a move, a hail of bullets came flying out of the window.

I quickly hid behind the wall, thankful that I had been a little too slow.

After the bullets were fired from the window, they started firing again from the main door.

The two sides reached a stalemate.

But Abdullah Jallan knew that this was not a stalemate.

There were only 12 of them, while the villagers lived in a whole village. When the gunshots rang out, the villagers rushed over in just a few minutes.

These few minutes are their only chance to survive!
If they missed their chance, they would be shot to death by the arriving men, and their bodies would be subjected to all sorts of humiliation.

Just as he was racking his brains for a solution, a drone slowly descended from the sky, hovering four or five meters behind them. The drone's camera was pointed at them, and through the lens, Abdullah Jallan seemed to feel the controller on the other side of the lens laughing.

Upon seeing the drone, he immediately had an idea, pressed the button on his headset, and issued a new command:
"Ajax, do something thrilling: control the drone, break the window, rush into the room, and drop a grenade!"

"Everyone else, take care of this drone!"

After saying that, the drone that was aiming at the sky first pulled the trigger, and a swarm of metal bullets was fired.

The drone tried to evade, but it was too close and couldn't get away!
