The tower version of the attack actually had no specific target. After attacking the Cobra base for more than half an hour, we were unable to successfully rush into the base and almost ran out of bullets.
Just as there was no trace of them when they came, they retreated and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The Marines at Cobra Base did not pursue it. They were used to such lightning attacks, and they tidied up and returned to normal.
The dead Marine sergeant was wrapped in a body bag and placed in the same helicopter as Long Zhan and David, and began to be transported to the headquarters base.
More than half an hour later!
The helicopter entered the Wasiya district of Afghanistan and stopped at the U.S. Marine Corps base.
This base covers a very large area, with a length and width of more than 500 meters, dozens of company camps, and thousands of marines stationed here.
Dragon War took a helicopter and looked down from the sky, and could see a large number of Humvees and trucks below.
In addition to the warehouses in each company camp, there are also several oversized steel-frame iron warehouses at the front, with a length of more than 50 meters.
The top person in charge here is Major General Beers, but he did not come to receive Long Zhan in person.
Instead, a captain named Remy was sent to take full responsibility for coordinating the dragon battle. All he had to do was show him the list.
Captain Remy is very cheerful, and now Long Zhan is familiar with the base.
Then during the familiarization process, the current general situation of the base, the use of equipment, and the situation of personnel and equipment were introduced.
In the evening, I took Long Zhan to a party and had a great time drinking and dancing.
During this period, I also met an old friend who was serving in the Marine Corps and had not seen each other for almost ten years, Comez, who had been promoted to the rank of sergeant major.
Afghanistan has changed a lot in the past ten years, and almost everyone has changed.
You can also meet old friends here, and the real dragon battle is very unexpected.
Komes never expected that after so many years, Long Zhan would become so prosperous that he could represent military companies and do business with the Ministry of National Defense.
Thinking that he has reached the age of retirement, Komas becomes even more enthusiastic about the dragon war.
The two of them had a good drink at night.
The next day, I also took Long Zhan to the shooting range. The two competed against each other on the shooting range and felt the memories of fighting side by side.
Long Zhan was eating, drinking and having fun with old friends, and David was in charge of connecting with Captain Remy.
As the fourth-class Marine Corps, their military expenditures are usually the lowest, their equipment is also the worst, and there are really few good things in radicals.
Just these poor things, there are still many that will be taken away during the retreat.
I couldn't take anything with me when I retreated and had to sell it. I can only describe it as pitifully small.
have to say.
The base of the fourth class people is really poor!
In addition to some second-hand M16A4, second-hand M249 light machine guns of various models, individual light weapons and bullets.
The most important and largest item for sale is the Humvee military vehicle that can be seen everywhere in the base.
Serves as ambulance, radar vehicle, personnel carrier, recoilless gun vehicle, heavy machine gun armed vehicle, smoke vehicle, air defense vehicle, kitchen vehicle, etc.
More than 20 categories of Humvee military vehicles have all become "abandoned objects" during this retreat.
It's not that these Humvee military vehicles have no value, but the cost of transporting them back has exceeded the value of their existence.
With the money shipped back, we can definitely buy better military vehicles in China.
What's more, the Humvee has gone from glory to decline. It has been eliminated by the US military and is being replaced by new JLTV military vehicles. There is no point in transporting it back.
Taking various factors into consideration.
The Humvee military vehicle, which has been galloping in the Middle East for 20 to 30 years and made great contributions to the US military, is destined to be abandoned by the US military.
The cooperation between the Ministry of National Defense and Titan Corporation is to dispose of these things that cannot be taken away.
The price given is very favorable.
Basically, I just want to ship all these things out at the price I want, so as not to stay in Afghanistan and be picked up for free by the Tali version.
What David has to do is to register in detail and confirm that the Hummer is still in normal use.
Regardless of the purpose of the Hummer, the price of the all-purpose chassis is US$5,000, and the equipment and equipment configured will increase the price according to the situation.
This price is for a Hummer that is still in normal use. If it is a broken Hummer, it is not within this range.
David also needs to carefully check and eliminate these problematic cars, leaving only good cars for registration, and finally make a list.
There are more than a thousand Humvees in the base, and it is estimated that at least two-thirds of them can be used normally.
In addition to these Humvee military vehicles, there are other infantry fighting vehicles including Bradley, which are also within the scope of this transaction.
but.
Because the attacks in the tower have become more and more frequent recently, most of the infantry fighting vehicles in the base have been driven out, especially in the frontline bases.
There are no less than 20 M2 Bradleys among the infantry fighting vehicles supporting frontline bases.
Infantry fighting vehicles are very popular items. Whether in the Middle East or the Third World, infantry fighting vehicles with rough skin and thick flesh can be purchased at very good prices.
In order to confirm whether these infantry fighting vehicles can still be used, Long Zhan needs to go to the frontline base in person.
It just so happens that the frontline base in the Gramisher area has been under fierce attack from the Tali version recently, resulting in heavy losses in personnel and ammunition.
The base must organize a group of personnel to deliver urgently needed supplies to the frontline base.
Dragon War can come along!
David continued to stay at the headquarters base to take inventory, and Long Zhan, led by Captain Remy, came to the camp of a Marine company.
When I came over, the company commander happened to be speaking to a group of Marines.
"You are going to the Gramish area to deliver supplies to the forward operating base. They have suffered heavy casualties and are severely depleted of supplies and ammunition. They need supplies to be replenished as soon as possible.
This operation is outside the safe zone, so when you go out, you must pay attention to the surroundings and corners, and be careful of roadside bombs, homemade bombs, ambushes, etc.
Do you have any other questions?"
After the chief officer finished speaking, he glanced at the team.
"Are we taking Highway 605?"
What a coincidence that couldn't be more coincidental, the person speaking was none other than Long Zhan's old buddy Comes, who seemed to be the person in charge of this transportation operation.
"Yes, go straight for seventy-five kilometers and then turn right on the red road." the officer replied.
"It's over, we're dead."
"Oh, shit."
"Can't you find another way?"
Upon hearing this answer, all the marines below mourned.
"Is Highway 605 that scary?" Long Zhan thought in confusion.
"This is Private Faisal. He is from the Afghan National Army. He will join your class first and be responsible for being your translator and guide." The chief officer arranged.
