Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 466 The counterattack begins

Fair's good news was soon confirmed.

At three o'clock in the morning, when the radio was turned on again to send and receive messages, Anthony was the first person to bring good news.

"Principal! The government troops on my side seem to be organizing a retreat!"

"you sure!?"

Song Heping was no longer sleepy.

"Sure!"

"Immediately send a few reconnaissance teams to monitor them. Make sure they retreat before immediately reinforcing the southern defense zone. Head to Santa Rita, locate the AUC troops, and attack them from behind. Remember, stay in contact with the combat forces in the southern defense zone. You attack south, and they attack north, pincer attacking the AUC forces there."

"I understand, Principal. I will definitely put on a good show for you!"

Anthony looked confident.

Morins was most concerned about the communication problem. He asked Song Heping: "Can we turn on the radio and restore communication from now on?"

"Be careful. Wait another hour until Anthony has confirmed everything. Then we can turn on the radio."

Song Heping appeased the leader of the armed group to prevent him from causing any trouble out of impatience. He did not want to be buried with him.

If the reconnaissance plane is still there and the government forces have not completely evacuated, it would be a simple matter to drop a few bombs on their heads before leaving.

We can't let this little bit of negligence ruin the victory that is about to be achieved.

Song Heping began to plan a counterattack in his mind.

An hour later, if the reconnaissance team sent by Anthony confirms that the government forces have withdrawn, it means that the pressure on the Tame area has been lost. This drama is the prelude to the three-party cooperation between the Americans, the Colombian government forces and the AUC armed forces. However, from now on, I am afraid that only the AUC will be left to perform this solo on the stage!

"Morins, it's time for us to start preparing for a counterattack."

Just when Song Heping felt the pressure suddenly relieved, there was already chaos in the joint operations command center far away near Tame.

"You Americans are liars! Liars!"

Major Dougherty, the representative of the AUC armed forces, pointed at Lawrence and Sanders of the government army and cursed at them like an angry bull in the command center.

"We're just a hair's breadth away, victory is just around the corner. Morrison's headquarters has been destroyed, their command center has been completely severed. Our soldiers have poured out, splitting their northern and southern defense zones. And you're telling me now, you're withdrawing?! If you withdraw, who will pursue the ELN soldiers in the Tame area? You want me to transfer troops?!"

"The ELN forces have suffered heavy losses so far. With tens of thousands of troops, can't you handle them?"

Although Sanders knew he was in the wrong, he refused to admit it.

"We've already helped you hold back two of their battalions and have almost pushed them to the border. If you just send two more battalions, you can still capture Tame."

"General, you think I'm a fool, don't you?! Our AUC forces are attacking in two different defense zones, north and south, hundreds of kilometers apart, and you don't even give us time to connect. And then you tell me that just sending two battalions can completely take over the Tame area? God... do you think you can perform magic? It will take me at least a day to mobilize two battalions over hundreds of kilometers! Do you think the two remaining ELN armed battalions in the Tame area will just sit there and wait for our men to arrive so we can encircle and destroy them?! They'll run! They're real people!"

Doherty became more and more excited as he spoke, his face flushing like an angry rooster.

Sanders was speechless.

He certainly knew the consequences of canceling the action at this time.

The government forces had already lost an entire battalion in this operation. He felt helpless as he was forced to give up when he was about to succeed.

No matter how helpless we are, we must stop if the Americans ask us to. After all, the equipment and money invested in this operation are part of the anti-drug cooperation plan.

If you don't listen to the Americans, the consequences will be serious and it will be difficult to get their money.

Colonel Lawrence blushed secretly, but he had to obey his superiors' orders.

"I'm sorry, but this is all we can do. My order is to withdraw. From now on, you're on your own."

He could only try to comfort Doherty.

"After all, judging from the current situation, you have the advantage. Whether in terms of manpower or equipment, the AUC will win. It may just take a little longer. Don't you think your 30,000-plus troops can't defeat their several thousand?"

After saying that, he picked up his briefcase and waved gently to Dougherty.

"Goodbye."

After seeing Lawrence leave, General Sanders said to Dougherty, "The helicopter has been arranged. My people will take you back to your territory. Your headquarters is currently near Mituaas. The helicopter will take you there. You can take any intelligence and maps here that you think are useful. Goodbye, Dougherty."

With that, he left, too. Doherty stood there, feeling like an outcast.

As the joint command in Colombia disbanded, the lights at the Eagle Special Forces School in Venezuela were on.

Lao Gao was awakened by the noise outside. He got out of bed, put on his slippers and walked to the door. After pushing the door open, he found that he was not the only one who was awakened.

Many workers were standing at the door or in the corridor of the board room, looking towards the runway in the distance.

On the apron beside the runway, two SU-24 fighter-bombers had been towed out of the hangar and parked beside the runway.

Those "big guys" that were usually placed on the ammunition racks in the hangar had been knocked under the wings. From a distance, they looked like thick cigars. Just looking at their size made one feel murderous and chilling.

The ground crew was busy checking the plane, and Dominic, who was in charge of the operation, was arguing with the leader of the fighter crew, Petrovich.

"I'm the head of the company's aviation department and the commander of this bombing operation. Why can't I fly one of them?"

"You're a French guy, do you know how to fly our plane? Don't use your job for personal gain. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to explain to my boss!"

"Bullshit! Do you think your SU-24 is some secret aircraft? It's been everywhere for a long time. I flew it during joint exercises with Eastern European countries when I was in the French Air Force. It's no big deal. How can it be as complicated as the Rafale?!"

"The Russians fly Russian planes, and you French guys can fly your Rafale if you want. I don't envy you."

"As the person in charge of the operation, I order you to personally operate the plane. You only need to retain one bombardier."

"Okay, you ask the boss to call me. If he agrees, I have no problem with that! You want to kill me and I'm going to stop you, a French guy?"

"No need to ask the boss about this!"

Of course Dominic knew that calling Song Heping would definitely not be approved.

But he really wanted to show off his skills.

It's been a while since I flew a fighter-bomber. Since retiring from the military, I've been flying helicopters.

It is a rare opportunity to have two SU-24s in front of me, so I can't let it go.

Moreover, it crossed the border at a low altitude, and then flew more than 300 kilometers to drop a precise bomb and behead the person.

wow!

There's nothing more exciting than this!

This is definitely a matter of sneaking into Colombian airspace. If it is discovered by radar or intercepted, it will be a life-and-death aerial combat.

The two were arguing when Petrovich's cell phone rang.

He took it out, looked at it, and handed it to Dominic: "The boss called, do you want to tell him about your experience flying the SU-24?"

Dominic immediately backed down.

He was originally using his power for personal gain. Song Heping never agreed to let him fly the plane himself. He only let him be responsible for operations, coordinating the work of ground crew and flight team, arranging the departure of bomber crew and so on.

"Boss, can we take off now? We're all ready!"

Seeing that Dominic stopped pestering him, Petrovich answered the phone.

"Petrovich, have you finalized your flight route and everything?"

"confirmed."

"Okay, your crew's target is Mituas, and the other plane's target is the AUC Northern Theater Command near Cucuta in the north. Remember, there are only four ODAB bombs, so bomb them accurately! Don't miss!"

"Absolutely not! As long as the ground guidance is correct, we definitely won't make a mistake." Petrovich remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Boss, what about the remaining bombs? What should we do with them?"

Song Heping said on the phone: "Blow up their encirclement. Pick a place with a lot of people and throw it there. Make sure to create momentum and destroy their morale!"

"no problem!"

"Then let's go! Now, immediately!"

　Asking for a monthly ticket!
