Chapter 2066: Cross the river

"It's right to take a detour into the mountain. There is no problem with this idea, but before entering the mountain, we will definitely need to cross the Kalida River.

"What do you think?" Lin Rui turned to Crazy Horse.

"I think we should act more concealed. If the Iraqi security forces have helicopters, it is best for them to use helicopters to deliver us directly to the mountains." Crazy Horse pointed to the map and said, "This will greatly reduce our being caught. Risks discovered."

"The idea is very good. However, the Iraqi security forces are not monolithic, and they also have information security problems. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain that they failed to return after several raids." Jiang An shook his head, "I am not. It is said that there are definitely inner ghosts among them, but from the current point of view, it may be difficult for them to keep secret. If we pass them, we think that no one will find out, maybe those extremists have set a trap for us long ago."

"I agree with the actuaries that we cannot place our hopes on others. Even if there is a risk, I also hope that the risk will be controlled by ourselves. Besides, the Iraqi security forces themselves are complex, and all of them have them, just in case. Leaking the news will lead us into a greater predicament. Iraqi security forces can be used, but they are useless. We can use them to arrange evacuation and response operations, but we must not allow them to participate in such things as infiltration raids." Lin Rui nodded.

"Okay, then we will follow the actuarial method." Crazy Horse nodded and agreed. "I have been in Iraq for a few years with Snake Eye, and we are quite familiar with the mountainous areas in this area. Although there are risks, everything is fine. It’s impossible to be foolproof, you can try it. We need inflatable assault boats and equipment to enter the mountains."

"We can let the Yankees prepare these things. They should have these things." Lin Rui nodded. "Also wait for dawn to see what news they can bring, and then we can decide how to act. In any case, we don't have much time."

The next day, Lin Rui and others got a message from the US military team through the Kurds. A group of people set off cautiously. They prepared carefully, and under the leadership of Lin Rui, they touched the nearby road. This asphalt road is no more than three or four meters wide, and its completion time should not be short. The war in recent years has almost left Iraq with no time to maintain such roads. The road conditions are very bad, and some places have been cracked. When the mountain is here, it becomes a downward slope, forming a valley with a gentle **** about 100 meters wide with another small hill on the east side. The road is built in the middle of the valley, and a lot of weeds are scattered on the side of the road. Rocks coming down.

The terrain of the valley is not critical, but if a few sentries are placed at a high place, the condition of the road can be controlled. However, the militants did not do this. For one thing, most of them are militiamen, and there are few grassroots commanders who know how to fight. Secondly, they probably think no one dares to come here.

Snakeeye was dressed in auspicious clothes, as if wrapped in a camouflage net, hiding in the bushes under the roadbed, looking towards the two wings of the mountain. Crazy Horse and Sergey, who were in charge of monitoring the situation on both sides of the highway, raised their hands to indicate that everything was normal. He just got out of the bushes with a gun, bent down against the roadbed and ran into the valley. The mountain blocked the direct rays of the sun, and snake eyes darted a few steps to hide behind a half-person-high rock on the side of the road, and raised his head to touch the direction of the hillside.

There is almost no vegetation on the hillside. There are a few abandoned ruined houses on the hillside, and half of the hillside is covered with ruins of stones. This road is close to the hillside and close to the road, so it was bombed during the Iraq War and was abandoned a long time ago. And on the other side of the hillside is the river.

Lin Rui observed the situation on the two wings and pointed to the high place with the eyes of the snake who was watching from afar. Snake's eyes understood, and immediately understood what Lin Rui wanted to do. He and Yelena alternately ran into the valley and climbed the hillside, then concealed from the commanding heights and followed the gun. Yelena concealed in the chaotic grass on the other side, and formed a crossfire with the snake eyes on the opposite hillside to monitor the road below. "Everything is normal, confirm it is safe. We meet on the other side." Snake-eye's voice came from the headset.

Others drove two trucks with camouflage nets swiftly into the valley, swiftly crossed, and then circled to the other side of the hillside. Sandro squeezed his foot on the brake and stopped the car. The heavily armed team members flew down from both sides of the cab, leaning on the wheels one after another, aiming their guns at both sides of the road, waiting for Sergei and Crazy Horse to come down from the hillside.

"What's the situation?" Lin Rui whispered as he looked at the crazy horse running down the hillside.

"It's normal, we didn't find anyone." Crazy Horse whispered. "We are lucky. Today is Friday. They should gather to pray around one o'clock in the afternoon. There should be no one at this time. We can take advantage of this time to cross the river, but it is necessary to be careful."

"Understood, take off the equipment and supplies from the car. Then find a hidden place and drive the car down the river. I don't want these two broken cars to be discovered by these extremists and we will fail to sneak." Lin Lin Rui turned his head and said, "Everyone is taking action, we are running out of time."

Sergey arrived first, but Snake Eye and Yelena arrived last. When they arrived, the other team members had already disposed of the two small trucks and had assembled the inflatable assault boat. Their assault boats can be inflated quickly, and with a small motor attached, they can have a good speed. However, due to concealment considerations, Lin Rui and others did not use this gasoline motor, but used a quieter manual paddle method.

"Okay, everyone is here. We should prepare to cross the river immediately. We should have nearly half an hour." Lin Rui whispered. "We have to travel along the river for a period of time to avoid villages where militants may be present, and then after crossing the river, we will immediately turn to the northern mountainous area."

The team members all got on the boat, and three small assault boats carried them on the river. The crew on the bow and sides of the ship closely monitored the sides and the front. This section of the waterway is the most exposed area for them, and once exposed, the people on the boat will be completely passively beaten.
