Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 190 Entering the City
"I need the cooperation of the entire Mosul operation force."

Song Heping looked at the map on the laptop for a long time and then said something shocking.

This startled Mist.

Command of the entire Mosul operation force?
That is an entire US mechanized infantry division plus a newly equipped Irigo local mechanized brigade, as well as the command of the air force, special forces and other units participating in the operation.

The commander-in-chief of this operation was Brigadier General York.

He is already a senior military officer at the rank of general.

Song Heping's request for full command meant replacing himself with Brigadier General York.

No matter how you look at it, this is a crazy idea.

"This is impossible!"

Mist immediately rejected it.

"Even if the coalition forces in Iraq agree, do you think the Pentagon will approve it?"

The action ultimately needs to be signed off by the Pentagon and must be approved by those old guys in the Joint Staff Conference.

Song Heping felt that what Mist said made sense, so he said, "Maybe I can be a consultant for them. Call Major Lonnie first and let him see the result. We can talk about it after it's feasible."

Major Lonnie was actually quite dismissive when he was called back to battalion headquarters to look at the plan.

What kind of tactical plan did he think a mercenary leader could come up with?
If Song Heping can do it, then as a graduate of West Point Military Academy, I must tear up my diploma, right?
As a result, after he finished reading the results calculated by Song Heping using the "cross method", he fell into deep thought.

He spent a full fifteen minutes running through various deductions in his mind, trying to overturn this result.

But in the end, Lonnie found that no matter how he calculated, he could not get a more reliable result than Song Heping.

Finally, he had to say, "It seems interesting."

He turned to Song Heping and said, "What are you going to do? This is just the result of your calculation. Although I think there is a certain possibility, you haven't made a tactical plan."

Song Heping said politely, "I want to hear your opinion, Major Lonnie."

Lonnie stretched out his hand, drew a circle on the block, and said, "Blow it up. Use a high-powered bunker buster and kill all those damn guys in their bunkers."

After hearing his suggestion, Song Heping sneered in his heart.

As expected, the Eagle Sauce really can't fight without the Air Force...

These guys have been at the top of the world's military for too long. The first Gulf War earned them great prestige and deterrence around the world.

From then on, no matter where you are involved in war, there is only one word - bomb!

When encountering obstacles in land warfare, there is only one word to say - explosion!

It's like he was born with a big temper.

"It's not that bunker-buster bombs can't be used." Song Heping pointed at the Rahim block and said, "Which model do you want?"

"GBU-57!" Major Lonnie said. "One will do the trick, but two are a safe bet."

Song Heping sneered, "Your suggestion is the same as Mist's. But have you ever thought about how many civilians would die if a GBU-57 were to be launched? Do you dare to take responsibility for this?"

Ronnie immediately lost his temper.

The GBU-57 is the US military's most powerful bunker buster to date. It weighs nearly fourteen tons and will explode after drilling into the ground, affecting the ground. It is not impossible for an entire city block to be razed to the ground.

If the hiding place calculated by Song Heping is correct, using GBU-57 is the simplest and most brutal method, and the losses will be minimal.

But in Song Heping's opinion, this is not the way to do it.

Although I am a mercenary and cannot be a saint, I cannot be a murderer either, right?
If you do something so immoral as this, you won’t be able to enter the clan’s ancestral hall in the future, right?

"Do you have any less powerful bunker-buster bombs?" Song Heping asked.

"Have."

Mist answered first, "The GBU-28 bunker buster is loaded with 306 kilograms of high explosives. Its penetration is half that of the GBU-57, so it can only penetrate 30 meters of natural soil. If it's drilling into concrete, it can only penetrate 6 meters."

Song Heping quickly said, "Then use this one."

More than 300 kilograms of explosives are better than that monster weighing more than ten tons.

"However, if we use the GBU-28, its power will be greatly reduced, and precise guidance will be required. Even if we use drones for reconnaissance, I'm afraid we can't achieve % accuracy, and manual guidance is necessary."

Song Heping looked at Mist with deep meaning in his eyes.

Mister suddenly understood.

He pointed at himself and said, "You mean for us to go?"

Song Heping said, "Isn't this what you seals are good at?"

Mist was speechless.

Even as a Navy SEAL, Mist was unsure. Mosul had been a long-held siege. Two nights earlier, Vincent had barely made it back from the city after entering it to ambush Point E.

Rahim Street is located in the center of the city, which is like being deep in the tiger's den. If discovered, it will be more than ten times more dangerous than the previous night operation.

"Why? Are you afraid of death?"

Song Heping said in a slightly provocative tone: "Do you want me to take you?"

Mist said, "You can come with us, but you don't need to bring me along. I'm a pretty good commander."

Song Heping said, "Come on, are you really planning to bring all your brothers in? You're courting death. If we really want to go, it's just the two of us. Just two people, understand?"

Mist was stunned for a moment. He thought Song Heping was too bold.

Two people going?
A two-person team?

From the perspective of the guidance team, it is a very suitable configuration.

A general guidance team consists of two people, and a sniper team can usually perform this task.

But the question is, is it just me and him?
In case of exposure...

"Don't you dare?"

Song Heping continued to look at the SEAL captain with a mocking expression.

"Why not?" Mist couldn't let go of his SEAL honor. "It's just the two of us."

Ronnie watched the two of them chatting, and to him it was like watching two lunatics talking.

They are all mentally ill...

"Are you really planning on two of you going in to act as ground guides?"

Song Heping said, "Of course, but we need an insider. Your CIA must have spies in Mosul, right? Major Lonnie, you can apply to your superiors, report our plan, and then ask for the CIA's cooperation."

Lonnie hesitated.

Song Heping added, "Major, if this fails, you won't bear much responsibility, but if it succeeds, you will be a hero and will probably be promoted to battalion commander right away."

This statement really touched Ronnie's sore spot.

What he wants most now is to become a regular employee.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements for you to go in tomorrow. Go back and wait for news. Once Brigadier General York approves the operation, I'll let you know. If the GBU-57 isn't involved, I think he'll approve it pretty quickly."

Major Lonnie finally made up his mind.

Early the next morning.

Song Heping and Mist received a notice from Lonnie - the operation was approved.

When they arrived at the battalion headquarters, Major Lonnie took out a number and handed it to Mist.

"Here's the phone number and meeting place for the CIA's spy in the city. Once you get in, contact him. He'll arrange accommodations for you and take you to Rahim Street to find the sewer entrance for you."

"Okay." Mist took the number and hid it. "When do we leave?"

Major Lonnie said, "Any time, I've prepared disguises for you. Follow me."

Song Heping and Mist followed Lonnie out of the camp headquarters, crossed the camp, and finally came to an open space.

"You can use that thing to get in. I had someone buy it from a local nearby last night."

Looking in the direction of Lonnie's finger, I saw a donkey tied in the corner of the open space, pulling a small cart.

This is a very common means of transportation for locals.

Major Lonnie doesn't seem stupid.

This is quite sufficient preparation.

"There are two sets of clothes on the cart. You can change into them and go into the city by yourselves. We can't send anyone to escort you, so as not to be targeted," said Ronnie.

"Okay, we'll handle it ourselves and contact you after we enter the city." Song Heping said, "By the way, there's one more thing. From now on, the drones will keep scouting over the Rahim district to see if there's any activity nearby."

Lonnie said, "Leave this to us. Be careful. If we are discovered, I guess there won't be any bodies left."

Song Heping and Mist looked at each other.

Both of them knew that Ronnie was not exaggerating.

Once discovered and your identity is exposed, no one can save you.
