Chapter 1476: Isolated

It was completely dark, and the vehicles of Lin Rui and others finally entered the eastern border of Afghanistan.
In fact, after entering this border passage, people know what the mountain road is. The road is rugged and rocky. The slopes of the mountain are more than 40, and the off-road vehicle can't climb it. It's no wonder that of course they like small donkeys, which are better than carts.
After passing a certain distance, Lin Rui and the others had to abandon the assault vehicle and walk through the mountains and ridges to reach the nearest checkpoint in Afghanistan, where they had originally agreed to meet.
This checkpoint is on the side of the road under the mountain. The gorge guarded by it is dozens of kilometers long, more than a kilometer in the wide area, and hundreds of meters in the narrow area. A river passes through the gorge, and most areas on both sides of the gorge are cliffs. cliff. From the time when the British controlled here, it has been strategically important for a long time. And built a military fort here.
The view in the canyon is very wide, there are no tall trees, only rocks, weeds and low bushes. But the checkpoint was too quiet, and there was almost no movement.
Lin Rui, who went out to explore the way, was hiding behind the big rock and carefully observed the situation of the distant checkpoint and the surrounding terrain. The checkpoint was located in the middle of the canyon, blocking the canyon passage. The original ancient British fortress was built in On a high ground, the right side is close to the cliffs of the canyon, and the left side is a river that has long since dried up.
The wall of the checkpoint is more than one meter long and made of large stones after more than 20 centimeters. It is ten meters high and has piles on it. It looks like a corner of the Great Wall from a distance. Vaguely saw someone coming and walking on it. The entrance of the checkpoint is very small, only more than two meters wide, with two iron doors tightly closed.
"The situation is not right." Lin Rui whispered. Through the binoculars, he could clearly see the dense white spots on the bluestone on the wall. This was hit by a machine gun. The bullet hit the wall and left only one white spot, which did not damage the wall at all.
In front of the fortress is an open area, with many pits on the ground, and some rubble scattered around, left after the explosion. Looking at the defenses here, Lin Rui frowned. The fortress wall was strong and the defense tightness was beyond his imagination. And even though it has been cleaned up here, it can still be seen that a certain scale of battle has taken place.
Originally this was the meeting place they agreed with the US military, but now there are no Americans. Lin Rui's eyes flickered, and he whispered to Jiang An, "Contact those Americans to confirm their situation."
"Unable to contact, communication is abnormally interrupted." Jiang An shook his head.
"Maybe it was not the abnormal interruption, but they were all dead." Lin Rui whispered.
"No? They have two teams, a larger number of Afghan security forces, and the air superiority of drones." Crazy Horse frowned, "Enough to deal with these armed personnel."
"Unless they are not dealing with the Afghan army." Lin Rui handed the binoculars to Crazy Horse in a low voice, "At two o'clock, you can see for yourself."
Crazy Horse looked through the binoculars and only saw a section of the gray-white fuselage hidden among the trees. "Damn, they shot down the drone." Crazy Horse whispered, "It looks like the response is over. Damn it, didn't these guys say it should be fine? What do we do now?"
Jiang Jian pointed to the topographic map and said in a low voice, "The enemy must have occupied the fortress that checked the checkpoint first. When the U.S. and Afghan armed forces arrived, they annihilated them in one fell swoop. Here, heavy weapons cannot be shipped. Coming in, light weapons have no effect on the wall. On the right is a cliff, and on the left is a big river.
There is a ten-meter-high wall on the river, and there is an open area in front of it. Not only there is nowhere to hide, but also landmines are laid. It is not reliable at all. After killing the U.S. drones, the group of U.S. troops stuck in the canyon looks like The same as a living target.
The other team members looked at the front checkpoint and remained silent, thinking about countermeasures.
Sergey looked at it for a while, then crawled to the left. He pulled away the weeds and a long, low bush, and looked around. He wanted to test the depth of the river. He touched a few small stones from the ground and threw them in from the river. The sound of the small stones falling into the water and the splashing water can tell the approximate depth of the river. After the test, he climbed to the side of the players again and asked softly: "How about the boss, do you have a plan?"
"It really doesn't work, it seems that it has only passed through the water. That position is their defensive corner," Lin Rui replied in a low voice.
"I think so too." Sergey whispered.
"But there is a problem. What should we do with the hostages? We may be able to swam in arms, then climb over from the side of the rock wall, and bypass these militants without knowing them. But what about the hostages? But there is no such ability, and they are the target of this mission." Jiang An said in a low voice.
"Well, it's too close for exposure, so I'll retreat a little bit before talking." Lin Rui ordered the o2 team members to withdraw from the hidden location, and then returned to the back of the hillside.
After reaching the safe area, Lin Rui immediately asked Jiang An to gather his team members to study the combat plan. He whispered: "We now have two rescued hostages. They are the main target of this operation, so it is impossible to leave them. Therefore, it is impossible to bypass silently. And attacking such a fortress, There are nothing more than two methods, force attack and sneak attack. Force attack is definitely not good for us, so there is only one method of sneak attack. I need you to talk about your own ideas and how to overcome this difficulty?"
Sergey preemptively stated his opinion, "To enter this fortress, the possibility from the front is very small. There are only two roads to consider. One is from the cliff. I observed it and this road does not work. One. The cliff is too high, and the bottom of the cliff is concave. After it hangs down, it may not fall somewhere in the fortress.
Then I can only go up from the river on the left. As long as I can reach under the wall on the left, it won’t be a problem to climb up, but I guess not everyone can do it, and there are two towers and searchlights on the left. Clearly see the situation there, otherwise the defense on the top of the left wall will not be so loose. "
"Yes, if you climb on a stone wall, unless you are a monkey, you can complete the climb in 20 seconds. Otherwise, you will be hit by the opponent as a living target." Crazy Horse shook his head, "You said. This way, don’t even think about it, it’s not feasible at all."
"But as long as I can get in, I can cooperate with the squad and break it from the inside." Sergey was not convinced.
