Firepower is king

The time was a bit rushed, but the preparations were sufficient.

In order to kill Basha Kuba, Gao Guang was very hard-working and ready to attack. As long as there was time to exploit, he could take action at any time.

Finding out the technical equipment of the fortress is the top priority, because once it is discovered early, regardless of whether there are internal agents inside, it will be over.

"There are about two dozen cameras around the fort, that's all I can see, and there are some hidden cameras I don't know where."

Based on his impression, Kuzsayev drew dots on the photo one by one, and then he said solemnly: "I heard others say that there are many types of cameras in the villa, and there are special long-distance high-definition cameras. The camera can monitor four directions at the same time and is installed on an iron tower.”

"Iron tower?"

"Yes, there are many radars and antennas integrated on it. It is about forty or fifty meters high. Satellite communication antennas and large long-distance cameras are all on it. On the top are two pot-lid-like antennas, and below are four cameras. It can rotate, and it can see very far, and by the way, it has night vision.”

There are no cameras nowadays that do not have night vision, so surveillance with night vision is not uncommon at all. It just depends on the clarity and the distance and distance of night vision.

Tom said calmly: "Can you know the specific model?"

Kuzsayev shook his head and said: "I really don't know this. If I ask, it would be too deliberate."

"It's okay, just keep talking, and there are those cameras."

Kuzsayev continued to draw circles and said: "There are many cameras, both external and internal, and our actions are also under surveillance, so if we have any abnormal behavior, it will be easily discovered."

Tom frowned and said, "How did Nicholas' leg get broken? Is it reasonable?"

"It's reasonable. It must be reasonable. He and a team member patrolled on the roof for nearly an hour. It was high temperature, exposed to the sun, and he didn't drink water. When he really had a reaction of heat stroke, he tilted his body and fell six meters high. , which is equivalent to two stories high.”

Kuzsayev looked regretful, and then he said helplessly: "He subconsciously took protective action. After falling, his leg was not broken, so I could only let him put his leg on the sandbag, and then... "

"Stop talking, stop talking..."

Gao Guang felt a sense of pity in his heart. He felt a little scared after hearing this, so he touched his heart and said, "Well, let Nicholas suffer."

"Compared to losing his life, a broken leg is worth it. He will definitely be caught by the camera when he falls, but when I step on his leg, no one will definitely find it."

Tom whispered: "Okay, go on, how do night guards do it?"

"The night guard is basically the same as the daytime guard, but there is a special outdoor sentry at night. Every day when it is not dark, someone will leave the villa and set up a sentry in the mountainous area to the north of the villa, and then return after the sky is high, at least six people at a time. "

He even sent people to watch in the mountains at night. This Basha really treated his home as a military fortress.

Tom asked anxiously: "Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier? Do you know where their night sentries are?"

"To sum it up, they have two night sentries, each with three people. The secret sentry is Basha's cronies, and the open sentry is us who take turns sending people. The straight-line distance from the villa is a little more than a thousand meters. But if you walk, it takes about three kilometers. There is a small valley sandwiched between the two ridges closest to the villa. Basically, once these two outposts are set up, there will be no blind spots in the villa. "

Kuzsayev thought for a while and said: "There was no night sentry like this before. It only started to exist about half a month ago."

Tom thought for a moment and said: "We need to set up night sentries, which means that the cameras can't see that far at night. They are afraid that someone will cross the ridge and approach the villa. Well, you continue."

"There's nothing else to say. The photos you took are very clear. There is actually no wall between the inner circle and the outer circle. It just defines the activity area for us. From within this stable, we are not allowed to enter. , there are four buildings inside, and we are not allowed to enter these four buildings. "

The villas in Basha are a group of buildings. They are not all very big. There are high and low houses, and they are a combination of modern and traditional buildings. They are surrounded by walls. They do not look like obvious bunkers, but the houses on the periphery were designed at the beginning of the design. It also has military purposes.

If you want to fight hard, you only need to be guarded by a few people with basic combat literacy. If you want to fight in, unless you dispatch a large army, it is impossible to rely on a special operations team.

However, it is good news that there are no heavy weapons in the villa. The strongest firepower is two zu-23-2 anti-aircraft guns and several mortars, and there are no landmines.

After all, this is a villa for people to live in. It would be too much to surround it with landmines.

At this time, the tactics were basically formed.

Many times the tactics are not set by oneself, but are the result of being extrapolated based on the battlefield situation. To attack Basha's fortress, it is obvious that the only way is to climb over from behind the mountain and launch an attack from a high position. There is no other way. He chooses.

Mountain villas have advantages and disadvantages. As long as you occupy a high place, you have an advantage. However, Basha also prevents people from being hit from high places, so he strengthened the defense of the villa with the mountain behind it.

Fortunately, during the day, cameras can detect people coming down from the mountain. At night, people are specially sent to set up sentries on the mountain. If there is any trouble, they can be warned in advance. Then the anti-aircraft guns in the villa can shoot directly, and the mortars can shoot directly at targets behind the mountain. .

It cannot be said to be impregnable, nor can it be said to be flawless, but when Basha found the Black Sea Mercenary Group, a big hole was made in the flawless defense system.

Once you understand the last few questions, you can take action, but these questions have nothing to do with combat.

Gao Guang said very curiously: "Why did you protect Basha?"

"Someone is looking for a mercenary group. If they find us, we will go. Then our equipment and experience will be enough."

The Black Sea Mercenary Group used to work for Saleh on a long-term basis. They had a lot of work to do, but after Saleh's death, they became unemployed.

But the problem is that Saleh was killed by Morris, and Bashar was Morris's most important partner in Iraq and even the Middle East. It is a bit strange to kill Saleh and then use Saleh as a long-term employee. .

"Does Basha know that you were working for Saleh before?"

"Don't you know? No one asked. We are mercenaries, and the employer's information is confidential. If they ask, I can't tell them. Besides, we will work for whoever gives us money. What we earn is money. It’s not a favor.”

In Kazsayev's eyes, it was normal for him to work for Basha, and after he finished speaking, Gao Guang found that it was really normal.

Now it's time to be honest, because then it's time to talk about distribution.

After this battle, the Black Sea Mercenary Group would no longer be able to hang out in the mercenary circle. Therefore, Gao Guang really didn't know what to say. It was a bit hard to say.

Otherwise, it’s better to have reservations.

Gao Guang hesitated a little, he hesitated to speak, but Tom immediately said: "Mad dog, it seems we can only throw bombs."

"It's better to say goodbye..."

Gao Guang said something with a guilty conscience. It wasn't that his acting skills had declined, but that he really felt guilty. If he followed Tom's words, it would not be a frank confession, but a complete lie.

Tom looked at Kuzsayev and suddenly said: "To be honest, we can drop bombs or use a force attack to defeat him. There is only one goal, and that is to kill Basha Kuba. The current situation is Look, it’s hard to storm.”

Kuzsayev nodded and said: "Yes, I know."

Tom said with a serious face: "If you use a bomb, you'd better escape in time, because since we are going to blow up, we can't leave a complete house."

Gao Guang coughed slightly and whispered: "Let's forget it. Using bombs... the losses will be huge."

Tom said calmly: "This is not something we can decide, mad dog. Please understand, we cannot fail. If we attack by force, there may be casualties. Although we can get a lot of money from Basha's villa, it is too much." It’s dangerous.”

Gao Guang pointed at Kuzsayev and said: "It will be different if they cooperate. Well, can I talk to him alone?"

Tom shook his head and said: "Is there anything I can't know? If you want to talk about it, just talk in front of me."

Gao Guang looked at Kuzsayev, he felt a little ashamed and said: "Actually, we wanted to take advantage of your presence inside to cooperate inside and outside, but..."

Kuzsayev said seriously: "I understand, this is indeed very risky. It is easiest and most convenient for you to use bombs. Just like in Mosul, it is easiest to blow people up directly into the sky."

Gao Guang wanted to say that we can't use bombers, but he was too embarrassed to say it.

Kuzsayev whispered: "I, we..."

Tom suddenly said: "Actually, I have always objected to Mad Dog leaking information to you, but he still secretly leaked the information to you."

Gao Guang lowered his head and said nothing, Kuzsayev said to Gao Guang: "Thank you!"

Tom continued: "And you knew you were going to be bombed, but you didn't betray the mad dog. This was beyond my expectation. We all planned that Basha would flee after getting the news, but he still stayed in the villa, which shows that you People are reliable.”

"I can't betray my friends, alas..." Kuzsayev spread his hands and said helplessly: "Compared to my employer, I can't betray my friends, but I know that even if we are willing to betray you, you will not be able to attack. Yes, I only ask for one thing now. Can you tell me the time of your bombing?"

Kuzsayev looked very embarrassed and whispered: "I won't run too far in advance. Can we go one minute in advance?"

Kuzsayev looked pleading, but Tom waved his hand and said: "In fact, Mad Dog told you that we were going to bomb, so this plan had to be abandoned. I can't believe that you are facing a life-threatening situation. I don’t believe it can be kept a secret between friends.”

After another round and round, Tom was also using roundabout tactics.

Tom whispered: "So we have only one option left now, which is to launch a strong attack. Your Black Sea mercenary group can only cooperate with us to attack."

Kuzsayev nodded and said: "Yes, there is no other way, this is the only way."

"Then let's talk about the benefits you can get. Since we are going to attack by force, we must try to get as many benefits as possible to make up for the losses. You have worked together in Sulaymaniyah before, and you are all acquaintances who can do things easily. Say you As much as you want.”

Kuzsayev hesitated and said, "Can we ask for 30% of the loot?"

Gao Guang thinks that 30% is fine, because without the Black Sea Mercenary Group, it would be impossible to do this, and it would also cut off his future financial resources, so 30% is too little.

But Tom shook his head and said: "Impossible. We have replaced the air raid with a strong attack. The price we have to pay is too high. I will give you 30%. What do you think? 10%, I can make the decision and give you 10% of the loot."

Kuzsayev hesitated for a moment, feeling sorry for Gao Guang now, and then he whispered: "10%...is it a little less, or maybe 20%?"

Tom said without hesitation: "It's impossible, just 10%."

Kuzsayev seemed very embarrassed. He whispered: "I don't know how much cash Basha has at home, or good things that are easy to sell. If it's 10%, we may only have an income of tens of thousands of yuan, and we will have an income of only tens of thousands of yuan this month." I haven’t even received the commission. I’m not greedy. The key is that our Black Sea Mercenary Group will cease to exist in the future. I don’t even know if I can get enough severance pay..."

Tom smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry about your future livelihood. Just disband the Black Sea Mercenary Group, because it is not convenient for us to use the mercenary group. You can register a PMC company, or take a job in Mad Dog's King's Defense, and then , you pick a few lucrative jobs in Baghdad, and they will be yours from now on.”

Gao Guang was stunned for a moment and said, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Tom said calmly: "Do you think it's okay if I hand over the CIA's industry to them?"

Gao Guang was overjoyed. He thought Tom was just talking casually, but he didn't expect Tom to really give him a chance, so he quickly said: "Okay! This is okay!"

Tom looked at Kuzsayev and said with a deep expression: "I think you are reliable enough and you have no plans to betray a mad dog, so I will give you a long-term opportunity. The people who lead you will not have to do odd jobs in the future. Your income may drop, but it will be stable enough and not that dangerous. How do you choose?"

Kuzsayev stood up with excitement on his face and said tremblingly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you Mad Dog, thank you."

When Gao Guang transferred from PMC to arms dealer, Tom asked Kuzsayev to lead the Black Sea Mercenary Group to transfer to PMC. Status was secondary, the key was to make money.

Tom said very seriously: "If Mad Dog hadn't been my brother, how could I have let you take over the job of the CIA? Okay, the matter is settled. It's your job to formulate tactics. Now get a Come up with a specific battle plan.”
