There are no lights in the stairwell at night, and the view is actually not very good. In theory, if Long Zhan and his party can touch it, the people on the rooftop cannot be seen at all.
But coincidentally, the moon is rising now, just opposite the staircase door of the rooftop.
The moonlight shines obliquely through the rooftop door, forming a doorframe-shaped light and shadow at the corner of the stairs, which is clearly distinct from the darkness next to it.
If Long Zhan and others want to go to the rooftop, they will inevitably walk into this light and shadow. If they step in, they will be exposed on the spot.
Now Long Zhan uses smoke bombs to block the stairwell, so that the natural "warning line" formed by light and shadow loses its effect, which can make Aidid's bodyguard above blind.
And the results are immediate!
The bodyguard guarding the door on the rooftop could not see clearly the stairwell, and as thick smoke continued to pour out of the rooftop door, it was almost impossible to find the door.
The bodyguard knew that Long Zhan and the others were going to come up with smoke, but they didn't know when they would come up.
This uncontrollability made them start to panic.
When people panic, they lose their rhythm and judgment. When the bodyguard saw that the smoke was so thick, and there happened to be gunshots coming from below, he mistakenly thought that the people below had begun to attack from above, so he threw three grenades in at once.
"Bang~bang~bang!"
The three consecutive explosions were so powerful that half of the corner platform of the stairs collapsed.
The smoke that had filled the entire stairwell was also stirred up by the shock wave of the explosion, and the area instantly expanded several meters.
In addition, the smoke bomb itself was still smoking, and the smoke in the stairs became denser.
If Long Zhan and others had really tried to attack by touching the smoke, they would have been destroyed by these three grenades. Unfortunately, although Long Zhan was there and fired, they didn't move at all.
He did it on purpose.
Just to create the illusion of a strong attack.
With many years of rich combat experience, Long Zhan has long understood human nature on the battlefield.
The first step of seduction was very successful. The bodyguards above made an emergency response. After the grenade exploded, Long Zhan still did not move and continued to hide in the stairwell on the second floor and wait.
He knew that the already frightened bodyguard would continue to battle with the air.
as expected.
After throwing away all the grenades, the bodyguard picked up his gun and fired at the stairs.
Even though the smoke was enhanced by the explosion and had covered the entire exit of the rooftop staircase, the bodyguards were actually unable to find the exact location of the door.
They also shot there, loaded a magazine, and replaced another magazine.
After emptying three magazines, the two bodyguards, who were so nervous that their faces were covered with sweat and their breathing was as thick as cattle, clutched the AKM with smoking barrels in their hands, and finally stopped firing wildly.
They looked at each other anxiously, both wanting the other person to go in and check.
But nothing can be seen clearly in the smoke, and I don't know if such a grenade and strafing attack can kill the enemies rushing up.
Naturally, neither of them wanted to enter, so they could only continue to stare at the smoke.
Wait for the thick smoke to dissipate.
At the same time, they prayed to their Lord in their hearts. This group of strange enemies, who were like divine soldiers descending from the sky with explosive combat power, had all been killed in the stairwell.
pity.
Their prayers are destined to backfire.
The bodyguards battled wits with the air for a long time, but did not hurt Long Zhan and others at all.
The bodyguards fought with the air for a long time and finally stopped first. Long Zhan immediately took the opportunity to touch the smoke and rush upward. In the end, before his body came out of the smoke, he shot two bullets and killed the two bodyguards.
The most difficult Longmen Pass has been broken, and the next thing will become smooth and smooth.
Long Zhan and his party came out of the smoke and quickly found all the enemies on the rooftop through night vision goggles, as well as Aidid who was protected in the corner by two bodyguards.
Taking advantage of the advantages brought by night vision goggles and the fact that there are no bunkers to hide on the rooftop.
Long Zhan, Sonny, Clay and Brian each looked for targets and opened fire at the same time, quickly clearing out all the enemies on the roof.
Including the two bodyguards who were guarding the rooftop door at the other end, blocking Hut's team.
Without the bodyguards blocking the stairs, Hu Te's team quickly rushed to the rooftop to join the Long Zhan team, and captured Aidid on the spot who was alone but miraculously stood there calmly without any panic.
He is worthy of being a great warlord, but his calm attitude in the face of danger is not something that ordinary people can possess.
"Time is running out now. Clay, Brian, you two are responsible for taking him down to interrogate him and ask where the radio station is. We need to use it to announce to the whole city."
"The others split up and hurried to find the radio room. This guy shouted to the city through the radio in the afternoon, calling on all Somalis to stand up and defend their homes. This proves that there must be a radio room here."
Long Zhan issued two instructions in succession and took the lead in running towards the third floor.
There is no use in holding Aidid in his hands. He must personally issue a ceasefire order to the entire militia in order to achieve the purpose of Long Zhan's trip.
And if you want the whole city to hear it, using the radio is the best way.
Otherwise, you can only use the inefficient method of calling one by one.
Long Zhan and his party began the final step of the plan, asking Aidid to issue a ceasefire order to rescue the brothers' troops and allow him to get out alive.
The Joint Operations Center, which had been kept in the dark, finally discovered them at this time.
There were three main combat areas in the city, namely the first crash site, the second crash site and the building where Steele's headquarters was located.
Later, after Long Zhan and his party evacuated, there were only two places in the city where there was fighting.
Now, on the engineering college campus far away from the city center, the sudden appearance of gunfire has become a new battle zone. The sound of gunfire and explosions was especially loud this night.
Especially when the two bodyguards fired several magazines just now, the muzzle flashes were very conspicuous in the sky.
The drone that had been monitoring the war zone discovered something unusual in this place through its onboard night vision device, and turned its lens around.
The intelligence analyst responsible for controlling the drone locked the drone's lens on the rooftop and realized that this matter was not simple.
The real-time surveillance footage was immediately sent to air commander Matthews.
There was an unknown battle on the battlefield, which was strange and unusual. Matthews immediately reported the situation to General Garrison.

"General, we discovered a new situation. There was a fight in the refugee shelter area of the Engineering College."
"Engineering college?"
General Garrison's expression changed, he strode to the big screen and said, "Turn the screen over."
Relevant personnel at the headquarters received the instruction and immediately switched the drone monitoring screen to the home screen.
"Pull the camera closer."
Following General Garrison's instructions, the surveillance cameras looked down from high altitude, and the white highlighted figures displayed in the night vision devices began to become clearer.
When the surveillance camera is pushed to the minimum distance, the picture has become relatively clear.
Although the specific face and appearance cannot be seen clearly, a general outline of the basic body shape, uniforms, equipment, etc. can be seen.
For example, 8 people should be equipped as a group, and the remaining one looks like a human trafficker. The person being driven by two people is playing on the stairs.
"Is this one of ours?"
The heavily armed attire was easy to distinguish, and General Garrison could spot it at a glance.
"Lieutenant Colonel Harrell, are we sending ground troops there?" General Garrison asked in a serious voice.
"No, no one has been sent there. Our ground troops are now concentrated in two locations and are under siege by armed militias. It is impossible to go there."
Lieutenant Colonel Harrel answered truthfully, he was also very confused about who these people were.
