Great Power Technology

Chapter two

While Shenkai Packaging was nervously advancing the order tasks issued by COFCO, a tense battle was about to begin on the border of Yunnan Province, thousands of kilometers away.

The leader of the team was an old anti-drug officer from a certain armed police special operations team named Zheng Zhen. He walked easily in the dense forest on the border, and the heavy equipment on his body did not slow down his pace at all.

This kind of ease is not only the result of long-term training, but more importantly, it comes from him and his team members. The mechanical exoskeleton has been simplified and designed to be more suitable for complex jungle terrain operations.

"Taozi, check the communication situation, calibrate the GPS data, and transmit the location data."

"Received. Communication is normal, GPS data is normal, location data has been transmitted, it is 600 meters away from the planned ambush location, and is expected to arrive in 10 minutes."

"So fast? How long have we been walking?"

"It's almost an hour, twice as fast as usual. Captain, this thing is really useful, can we not give it back?"

"Give me back, this was originally given to us..."

Zheng Zhen's expression was slightly surprised. He subconsciously raised his hand to look at his watch, and immediately realized that the information he wanted had been integrated into the helmet visor he was wearing.

It not only displays the time, but also displays the forward route, a miniature map, the relative position of each team member, and the status represented by different colors. Almost all the combat information he needs is presented in front of his eyes.

In the words of one of his team members, putting on this exoskeleton system is like entering a simulation game - it would be better if the number of bullets could be displayed.

Zheng Zhen sneered at this greedy idea. He was more concerned about the target recognition function than any fancy bullet display.

This technology based on infrared and lidar is said to be able to directly mark non-our targets lurking in dense forests, making tracking and enemy detection extremely simple.

When he first put on the helmet for testing, Zheng Zhen really felt that he had entered a science fiction world, but when he saw the experts on the side with expressions like "We are too lazy to study this outdated technology," he had no choice but to suppress it. He suppressed his excitement and pretended to be reserved and said:

"Well, it's indeed okay."

But now, he no longer has those annoying experts around him. What they are about to face is a real battle.

A battle against large-scale smuggling takes place almost every day in this border area.

What they have to deal with this time is an organized armed group that they have been tracking for several months. This group has been active on the border since the beginning of the year. We have had several indirect conflicts with them, and after sacrificing two people, After several intelligence agents, the information about this large-scale transaction was finally determined.

But this time, we plan to catch them all.

After gently shaking his head to get rid of the slightly chaotic thoughts in his mind, Zheng Zhen gave the order to advance in low profile. Their speed immediately dropped, but only 20 minutes later, they still climbed over a mountain and arrived at Established a lurking location at the commanding heights.

Such speed was unimaginable when they were wearing simple body armor and worn-out combat boots.

After deploying according to the combat formation, Zheng Zhen operated the head-mounted display interface through the mechanical knob on the side of the helmet and called up the map of the predetermined combat area. After making final adjustments to the combat positions of all personnel, he issued the order to lurk and prepare for battle.

Two hours later, the target they were waiting for had still not arrived. Taozi, who was not far from him, quietly touched the communication button and asked:

"Captain, it's already 15 minutes past the scheduled time. Do you want to let the drone fly from behind to take pictures of the situation on the route?"

Zheng Zhen frowned and pondered for a moment, then answered:

"No, wait a moment. The risk of flying a drone at this time is too high. It's easy to alert the enemy."

"But they came a little too slowly. Could there be something wrong on the road ahead?"

"Probably not. The volume of their cargo this time is very large. In addition to the precious metals and cash used for transactions, there are also dozens of packhorses transporting flour. It is normal to be slow."

"Flour?? What's going on? Are they mentally ill? Taking such a big risk to transport flour abroad?"

Looking at the shocked expression under Taozi's mask not far away, Zheng Zhen replied:

"Now the price of wheat and flour internationally is more than four times that in China, and smuggling flour is normal. Moreover, they are just exploring the road this time. If this road can work, they will establish a long-term one on the border. smuggling channel."

"Then it will no longer be just a dozen tons. Combined with the transportation of livestock and vehicles, it will be easy to dump dozens or hundreds of tons a day. The income of nearly one million yuan is less risky than drug trafficking. Who wouldn't want to do it? "

“I remember we had a raid in 2011 or 12, but that time we raided soybeans and soybean oil. Later, we also caught bits and pieces of low-quality rice and frozen meat smuggled in by local farmers. However, , none of them are as big as this time.”

After listening to Zheng Zhen's explanation, Taozi nodded slightly, and then continued to ask:

"Captain, is this information about the enemy situation accurate?"

"It may not be accurate, but with our current equipment, let alone drug dealers, even a company-level unit of the regular army may not be able to defeat us... Stop talking, here we come."

Everyone immediately cheered up, and after waiting for a while, a long horse team appeared in their sight.

This horse team shuttled through the dense forest. The people were wearing uneven ordinary clothes. There were nearly 80 people in total. Only a few of them were carrying weapons. They didn't seem to be a threat.

But opposite the horse team, the group of people who came to trade with them were completely different.

There were about 60 people, and at least 40 of them were carrying automatic weapons. Although the remaining people were not obviously armed, they knew without asking that those who could walk on this road were definitely extremely dangerous characters.

"Captain, the size of the enemy is a bit beyond our expectations."

Zheng Zhen nodded slightly. According to the intelligence he received in the early stage, the size of the team transporting from the country was basically accurate, but the number of militants who came to trade far exceeded expectations.

The 40 people who were fully armed with a small amount of heavy weapons, plus the scattered militants in the cavalry, seemed to have the upper hand in terms of momentum compared with their own team of 15 people.

However, Zheng Zhen did not hesitate. He did not intend to give the other party a chance to disperse their vigilance, because once the other party dispersed, it would not be that easy to catch them one by one.

"Get ready for battle. The opponent's firepower is too strong. Don't even think about capturing them alive. Kill them as much as possible if you can. Old pig, take aim and shoot them first!"

Not far away, a man named Lao Zhu took down a recoilless rifle from the rack behind him, aimed at the area where militants gathered, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

The shells dragged white smoke trails straight away, followed by a violent explosion. Everyone below was stunned for a few seconds by the explosion. In these few seconds, Zheng Zhen's team had passed through an extremely A cold yet efficient approach magnified the results.

It's really like playing a game.

This absurd thought inexplicably flashed through Zheng Zhen's mind. He knew that he was in danger. He knew that as long as there was a chance, the desperadoes on the opposite side would pick up their guns and fight back at him, and they would shoot out of the barrels of their guns. Large caliber bullets are absolutely lethal.

However, he had a vague feeling that in this battle, the opponent might not be able to find a chance to fight back.

Because our harvesting speed is too fast.

The firepower network of 15 people, with the joint support of individual fire control radar, infrared portrait recognition, attack data link, and target priority configuration system, exerted extremely terrifying firepower.

Compared with their previous fighting methods, the most obvious change is that in the battle that has lasted for 30 seconds, no two team members have shot at the same target.

The utilization rate of firepower, guided by the intelligent system of this exoskeleton, has reached the extreme.

A minute later, the militants nearly 300 meters below launched their first counterattack, but at this time their personnel losses were close to 80%. After less than one magazine of bullets was fired, the gunfire fell completely silent.

Those without weapons stared at this scene in stunned silence. The only choice they could make was to lie down on the ground and put their hands behind their heads.

Two minutes later, the last militant fleeing away was bitten by a low-altitude drone. Then the data link system exposed his position. A large-caliber sniper bullet crossed a distance of several hundred meters and knocked him down from behind.

All the lurking team members stood up cautiously. After the last search and elimination, they formed a small circle and gathered all the remaining smugglers together.

Zheng Zhen looked at the heavy weapons that had fallen to the ground with some emotion and had not yet had time to fire. He opened the huge amount of drugs shipped from abroad with his hands, and then looked at the bags of flour loaded on the packhorse on the other side. , with a complicated look on his face.

…

In this battle on the border of Yunnan Province, a total of 1.7 tons of drugs and nearly 15 tons of flour were seized. The former amount was enough to shock the country, but the latter was only a small number in the smuggling activities that have been repeatedly banned across the country.

Chinese officials severely cracked down on smuggling activities and reported the results of each crackdown on the news. However, what everyone did not expect was that after the announcement of this crackdown in Yunnan Province, it actually caused a stir that no one had expected. Violent reaction.

In the news on the Internet, this time it was originally a special operation targeting drug trafficking, but it was actually labeled as combating food smuggling.

“To combat food smuggling, Chinese border troops killed dozens of smugglers.”

"Massacre or justice? The truth behind the bloody battle at the border."

"Going too far? Instead of shouldering international responsibilities, it banned food exports. Where is the demeanor of a big country?"

"Tragedy! Each person smuggled two hundred kilograms of flour, but they were all killed on the spot!"

Under such wave after wave of public opinion offensive, the international pressure faced by China has suddenly increased!
