Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 353 Falling short of success

The little gadget that fell into the car spewed out thick white smoke, and soon the entire car looked like a fire scene.

Gonzalez felt like he had fallen into hell.

Because it was a tear gas bomb...

Just ten seconds later, Gonzalez's snot and tears were pouring out, and his lungs felt like a handful of glass shards were thrown into them. Even the slightest breath was as painful as being cut into pieces by a thousand knives.

At first, he was able to remain conscious because he knew that this was a means to force him to open the door and leave the bulletproof car.

But after thirty seconds, he began to break down.

Although he is the head of the Intelligence Bureau's Operations Organization Department, this kind of torture is indeed not something that ordinary people can endure. Even special forces members who have received willpower training cannot withstand three minutes in such a small and closed environment, let alone the pampered Gonzalez?
"Cough cough cough-"

He started coughing violently, feeling like he would feel better only if he coughed out all the lung lobes in his chest.

A bulletproof car can hold up for a while. As long as the door is not opened, safety can be guaranteed at least temporarily.

After all, he also realized that the other party was not trying to kill him.

Otherwise, throw a grenade in and everything will be over in the shortest time.

"They're trying to kidnap me!"

Gonzalez shuddered at the thought.

Unfortunately, the body is very honest.

While he was still holding on, the secretary in front of him couldn't hold on any longer.

This young secretary is a civilian, not an agent in the intelligence agency.

Compared to Gonzalez, who used to be a secret agent, he had the lowest tolerance in the car.

The passenger door was pushed open, and the secretary rolled out of the car, lying on the ground and coughing like a dead dog.

Then, another small gadget was thrown in and landed on the passenger seat floor.

bang——

There was a flash in the car, as if thousands of searchlights were gathering their lights together. The impact of the huge sound made Gonzalez feel like a heavy hammer on the chest and his head was like being hit by a professional boxer. He fainted all of a sudden.

Outside the car, Disaster Star watched the stun bomb explode inside the car with a smile, then he leaned over and opened the door.

The driver and Gonzalez were dragged out of the car like pigs in a slaughterhouse.

A hunter wearing a fox mask walked over, looked at the situation inside the car, turned around and waved to a place not far away.

An unlicensed van drove up and stopped beside the crowd with an emergency brake. The door opened, and several people hurriedly carried the unconscious Gonzalez and the driver into the car. They also dragged the secretary, who was still kneeling on the ground and coughing, into the car. The door slammed shut, and with the loud roar of the engine, the van spewed out a cloud of black smoke, turned around and drove away from the scene, quickly disappearing at the end of the street.

Five minutes later, the first police car arrived at the scene with its lights flashing and honking.

The policemen who got out of the car drew their guns, looking as if they were facing a great enemy, and leaned against the car, aiming at the BMW not far away.

After some observation, the police finally found that there was no living thing at the scene except the corpse.

They approached the BMW and SUV cautiously. After checking them, the leading police officer contacted the police command center using the police radio.

"Police car No. 054 arrived at the scene, but no criminals were found. There were five bodies..."

……

"Colonel!"

Lieutenant Colonel Freddy hurried into the headquarters tent and whispered to James, "Something's wrong..."

James was staring at the laptop screen in front of his subordinates. On the map of the Tame area were various densely packed routes. Each route was the route the patrol team had taken or planned to take.

If we conduct a dragnet search along this route, we will probably be able to cover the entire jungle within three days, and the two targets hiding in the jungle will definitely not be able to escape.

"Ok?"

James glanced back at Freddy and noticed that something was wrong with his expression.

"What happened?"

"The thing is like this..."

Freddy looked like a patient who had been constipated for three days, with his brows furrowed.

"We've detected a strange signal in the Tame Jungle..."

"What signal?" James had a bad feeling.

"It should be a cell phone signal or something..." Freddy said, "Our electronic reconnaissance system detected a strange radio wave, but the search team is strictly prohibited from bringing civilian cell phones into the mission area, so we suspect it's the signal from Morins and his team's phones."

"Didn't the intelligence you provided earlier say that they didn't have any means of communication?"

James found it very strange.

If Morins and the other arms dealer had carried communication equipment, the ELN and FARC armed forces should have been in chaos in the past few days.

But in the past few days, nothing special has happened in Colombia.

It means that the information is reliable.

Why are they suddenly saying today that they have civilian mobile phones?
"Here's what happened..." Freddy seemed a little embarrassed to speak, but he finally confessed: "We suspect that one of the AGLAN team members secretly brought his own mobile phone, and after he was killed by Morins, the phone fell into his hands..."

"what?!"

Colonel James roared loudly, then suddenly realized that he had lost his composure. He looked around and saw that many people in the tent were secretly looking over here.

He quickly pulled Freddy out of the tent: "You mean they got a cell phone that can communicate with the outside world?!"

"We did detect a signal, but it was very weak and didn't last long. We might not be able to effectively communicate with the outside world..."

"are you an idiot?!"

Colonel James rudely interrupted Freddy's explanation.

"Use your brain and think carefully!"

He pointed to his head.

"Why didn't you detect the signal before, but you did today? That's because they were looking for it! The signal is bad in the jungle! Tell me, is the signal detection point located high up in the jungle?!"

"Yes……"

Freddy's face flushed.

James is an expert and has commanded countless combat operations.

How could such a little trick be hidden from him?
The atmosphere became tense.

The two stood face to face, but remained silent for a long time.

James couldn't do anything about Freddy.

After all, the two sides are not military forces belonging to the same country, nor are they superiors and subordinates in the same army.

I only joined this operation as an advisor and instructor. I was in full command, but the sovereignty here belongs to the Colombians.

What else?

Although this would be a serious violation of military discipline if it happened in the US special forces, and the superiors involved would be dealt with.

But it’s different here. Can I get rid of Freddy?

"Increase the search efforts and try to shorten the time to find the target to two days. Otherwise, you and your government will face turmoil and perhaps great pressure."

James was sincere and directly pointed out the possible consequences: "Lieutenant Colonel, do you understand what I am saying?"

Freddy nodded. "I understand."

After a pause, he continued, "We have detected that the signal is still appearing intermittently. I have sent a company to intercept it." "Where is the signal?" James asked.

Freddy said, "He's heading east along the Tame River. I think he's trying to evade our search and escape the encirclement by water."

James stood there thinking and did not respond immediately.

Freddy asked, "Should we send more people to the river to intercept them?"

James only then shook his head: "Lieutenant Colonel, the target we are chasing is much more powerful than you think."

"What do you mean?" Freddy was confused and didn't understand what James was trying to say.

James sneered, "Your people won't find anything. I guarantee it. It's just a bait, a deception."

After saying this, he suddenly turned around and strode back into the tent. He soon stopped in front of the map and his eyes fell on the Tame River.

"They're not heading east at all..."

After saying that, he turned and came to the communications sergeant: "Convey my orders. Immediately dispatch troops. All search teams will focus on searching the western area of ​​Tame Jungle. Order our four small teams to rush to the area between Tame City and Leibo City. Our goal is to break out from there."

Northern part of the jungle in the Tame area.

Song Heping and Morins continued to walk through the dark jungle.

It's two o'clock in the morning.

Two hours ago, the two finally found a signal on the mountain and sent the already edited message to Morins' confidant.

According to Molins's estimation, starting tomorrow, the ELN armed forces will definitely launch various attacks across the country and issue a statement demanding the immediate withdrawal of troops from the Tame area.

Whether or not they can successfully put pressure on the government depends on the means used by the ELN’s armed forces.

After sending the message, Song Heping put the phone into a waterproof bag, tied it to a piece of wood and threw it into the river.

Then he rushed north with Morins.

"Why didn't you keep your phone?!"

After holding it in for two hours, Morins finally dared to ask Song Heping what he was thinking when he disposed of his phone.

"That thing is useless. I only need to send a message once and make sure it's sent. I don't dare use it again, otherwise it will be equivalent to revealing my whereabouts. It's better to use it as bait."

Song Heping's answer was very simple and direct.

"Do you think the search teams currently deployed near the north will all follow the river to chase that phone?"

Molins suddenly understood what he said.

"You mean, the people in the north were mobilized by us?"

"It stands to reason," Song Heping said. "They definitely have electronic detection systems that can detect civilian signals sandwiched between military signals. It can't be anyone else but us."

After running for a while, they came to a valley.

Song Heping pointed to the distance and said, "Do you see the valley?"

"I see. I remember this place leads to Pestoka. I've been here before."

"That's right."

Song Heping said, "We are only one step away. After crossing the valley, we will reach the northern edge of the Tbilisi Mountains. From there, we can enter the mountainous area and then head southwest to reach your camp there."

Morins asked in surprise, "Are you sure?"

"Sure." Song Heping said.

Molins asked, "Don't you need to look at the map?"

Song Heping pointed to his head and said, "Here's the map. Let's go! Speed ​​up a bit. We're only about three kilometers away. Victory is in sight!"

Hearing him say that, Maurins suddenly felt less tired.

He was almost out of breath, but after Song Heping said that, he was able to continue running.

The entrance to the valley is getting closer and closer. As long as you enter the entrance of the valley, go one kilometer inside, turn left and climb a mountain, there you will be out of the Tame Jungle, and the Tbilisi Mountains will be within reach.

This valley should have been a well-defended thoroughfare, and there should have been someone guarding it.

"Wait for me here."

Only a hundred meters away from the valley, Song Heping asked Morins to stop.

"I'll go scout and see if there's anyone there. If there's no one, we'll just go through."

"it is good!"

Molins was very excited at this moment.

After being a stray dog ​​in the jungle for more than three days, he finally succeeded in deceiving the search team.

After I go back this time, I will be able to brag about it so much that I can brag about it for the rest of my life.

Not long after, Song Heping came back.

"There's no one in the valley, let's go!"

"Great! God bless me, I finally escaped..."

Before Morins finished speaking, the dull sound of helicopter propellers suddenly came from the sky.

"Damn it! What's going on?!"

Morins looked up at the sky.

Two Black Hawk helicopters flew overhead.

Song Heping grabbed him and the two of them quickly hid behind the tree roots.

"somebody is coming……"

Song Heping's excited heart cooled down.

He realized that he had met a master.

The other party saw through his trick and the cell phone bait didn't work.

He could even figure out which route he wanted to take.

He is not an ordinary person either.

"Let's go, let's go back."

"what?!"

"This place is blocked. This road is blocked. Do you understand? Idiot!"

Song Heping was in a bad mood. He almost escaped, but failed at the last moment.

If I hadn't spent twenty minutes scouting the valley, but had gone straight to the frontier with Morins, I would probably have left the Tame Jungle by now.

But it is absolutely impossible not to conduct reconnaissance. No one knows whether there are any hidden enemies in the valley, and rushing in rashly may lead to death.

"What a pity..." He could only sigh in his heart.

Just a little bit different!

It’s all fate!
