Chapter 169 Military Operations
New Delhi is located in northwestern India and is not affected by the weather from the eastern Bay of Bengal at all.

But it looks like it is echoing the coming horrors of West Bengal.

At the same time, Fatima typed the last line of text, raised her arms, and stretched her waist.

"Finally finished!"

"Great! Thanks everyone, I'll contact the director right away!"

Anurag took the computer excitedly, and after confirming that the plan was correct, he copied a copy with a USB flash drive, and then left in a hurry.

Gu Ji called up the weather software on his mobile phone and observed the weather information of West Bengal.

as predicted.

The atmospheric pressure in southern West Bengal has dropped to 991 hPa. According to the software, according to the monitoring of the State Meteorological Department, at 16:17 on the 23th, the tropical storm Purple Bay of Bengal landed in the Ganges Delta in eastern India. 48 minutes, that is, on the sea about 88 kilometers southeast of Calcutta, the maximum wind force near the center is level 56 (70 m/s).

The Meteorological Agency issued a tropical storm emergency warning at 16:17 on the 5th. It is expected that this year's No. [-] tropical storm will bring strong storms and rain to West Bengal today. Relevant departments pay attention to do a good job in typhoon prevention.

Fortunately, it takes time for tropical storms to land from the Bay of Bengal to the north, which leaves a buffer period for their emergency work.

About 20 minutes later, Gu Ji's phone rang suddenly, "It's Minister Anurag, the Prime Minister summoned him urgently."

After he hung up the phone, Fatima got up immediately and picked up the materials on the table.

On the west side of the third floor of the Presidential Palace, this is the Prime Minister's daily office. Compared with the staff office, this place is smaller and the decoration is very ordinary. I took over the desks of the students who worked hard in the third year of high school.

However, there were quite a few people in the room.

In addition to the people from the Disaster Management Bureau, experts in finance and taxation, water conservancy, infrastructure, and engineering blasting were also present during the day.

Seeing the two being brought in by the secretary, everyone's eyes were on them, especially Gu Ji, whose eyes were full of complex expressions, including jealousy, surprise, and envy.

Prime Minister Dieter's face was like a cloudy sky, gray and dark, until he looked up and saw him, he immediately became kind.

"Vidi and Fatima, your two leaders have always praised me in front of me, especially you, Vidi, you have performed very well and can be regarded as an excellent representative of government officials. I have asked the Minister of Finance and Taxation to review the plan. Passed, confirmed that there is no problem, but there are some details that need to be modified.”

"I have already communicated with the 57th Mountain Division of the Army. Since Anurag said that you are very good at blasting, and the general framework of the plan is also set by your proposal, you will be responsible for the entire process of contacting the special border forces of the Mountain Division. I have a copy of the List, if you encounter any problems on site, you can contact them directly!"

After saying that, the secretary next to the prime minister handed over a piece of paper, which clearly listed the names and telephone numbers of the commander of the mountain division, the chief minister of the West Bengal government, and the district commissioners of various regions.

"Time is precious. You should go to the New Delhi Air Force Base right now and take a special military plane to land at Bagdogra Airport. The Mountain Division troops will arrive at about this time. Vidi, the safety of the [-] million people in West Bengal will be entrusted to you. Already!"

"Prime Minister, I will definitely complete the task, but..."

Gu Ji's hesitant words caused the director of the Disaster Management Bureau, Anurag and others to "thump" in their hearts, for fear that he would say something "shocking to heaven".

"What's your problem?"

"Now that the tropical storm has landed, I think priority should be given to blowing up the southern dam, but Bagdogra Airport is located in the northwest of West Bengal, which..."

"In the plan, the Midnapur area where the third dam in the south is located is still in further discussion on disposal issues, starting with the first two dams for the time being."

The Prime Minister knew what Gu Ji wanted to ask.

Seeing that his tone was unquestionable, Gu Ji didn't insist anymore, but folded his hands together, and left the prime minister's office first.

Fatima came out with him.

"Vidi, let me go with you. Although I don't know how to detonate, at least I can help you deal with the transfer of people."

"of course can."

Gu Jizheng is worried that there is no helper.

The two didn't even go back to the hotel, because they didn't bring anything when they came from New Delhi, so they took the office car of the presidential palace to the air force base.

Waiting for them is a small gray-green aircraft: An-32 small transport aircraft!
It is a developed version of the An-26, which is specially used for high-temperature and high-altitude airports. It can take off at an altitude of 4000 to 5000 meters above the standard atmospheric temperature by 25°C, which is very suitable for this flight mission.

After the two entered the plane, Gu Ji leaned directly on the folding chair to avoid it, and closed his eyes to rest his mind in order to maintain his energy.

It is about 1100 kilometers from New Delhi to the north of West Bengal, and it takes about two and a half hours to fly.

The geographical location of West Bengal is very important to India, so there are military airports all over the state.

Bagdogra Airport is also a military-civilian airport. When the transport plane was about to land, it was already past 8 o'clock at night.

Gu Ji just got off the plane with Fatima. The northern part of West Bengal has not yet been hit by a tropical storm. The weather is a little cool and there is no rainfall.

At this time, a series of helicopter propellers sounded just above his head. He looked up and saw two gray-green medium-sized transport helicopters through the airport searchlights. They were the Mi-17/171 transport helicopters purchased by the Indian Army from Russia.

He remembered that before boarding the plane, Anurag told him that the 57th Mountain Division would land by helicopter. Unexpectedly, two of them were dispatched at one time, of which 171 was an upgraded version of 17, and the "Charge-V" was hung on the bottom And "attack" guided missiles, it seems to be up to the standard of half an armed helicopter.

The cabin door opened, and 18 heavily armed people jumped out of the two cabins.

They wore a set of gray-green camouflage uniforms, mountain sun hats, and black face scarves. Unlike the ordinary Indian soldiers Gu Ji saw, they did not hold native Indian weapons, but black AK-203 rifles. .

Although the 54th Mountain Division is not a real special force, it also has great flexibility in the use of weapons. It can independently purchase various weapons and equipment, including a variety of advanced firearms made in the West. Among the many firearms they use, there are a large number of The AK-47 assault rifle, although its performance is not as good as Western products, is still favored by Indian special forces because of its high reliability and easy availability of ammunition.

The AK-203 is an AK-series assault rifle specially designed for the Indian Armed Forces. It is equipped with a Magpul type telescopic buttstock and a more comfortable pistol grip. There is an aiming system, the hand guard MIL-STD-1913 rail is equipped with a tactical grip, and a tactical flashlight.

Gu Jiben thought that the mountain division would not dispatch elites.

But perhaps because of the Prime Minister's special communication, this is simply a standardized special forces task force dispatched.

You must know that the special forces of the Delta and SEALs in the United States generally consist of 16 or 8 people, of which 16 are distributed according to the team members: there are two teams A and B, each with 8 people, and the special operations team consists of the captain, Composed of snipers, supporters, assaulters, blasters, signalers, observers, and medical soldiers, it is equipped with two Seahawk helicopters and one Apache according to mission requirements.

The configuration of this special frontier force is almost the same as that of the world's first-class special forces.

The other party seemed to have received Gu Ji's message a long time ago. The troop lined up in two columns and walked towards him. Among them, a middle-aged gray-bearded Indian colonel officer in uniform and without weapons took the initiative to ask:
"Excuse me, are you Vidi Dali?"

"Yes."

"I am the deputy captain of the Special Frontier Force of the 57th Mountain Division, Swaraj. This is the executive captain Marlowe, ordered by the Army Staff Headquarters to cooperate with you in implementing the dam bombing plan!"

The gray-bearded officer followed closely and turned sideways to let out a sturdy soldier holding an AK-203 rifle.

Compared with him, this Marlowe is obviously more like a real fighter, with dark skin and a pair of big white eyes full of a sense of deterrence. It can be seen that he often performs high-risk missions.

Marlowe took a serious look at Gu Ji, and seemed to feel that the other party was a bit extraordinary.

However, since Gu Ji has been in contact with Chen Zhiyu, Zeng Dan and other intelligence personnel of the National Security Bureau, he has fully understood the truth of "hidden clumsiness", and has already restrained his gaze and warning movements as much as possible, and put himself in the identity of an ordinary person .

"Hello, the incident happened suddenly. The Prime Minister also sent me and Fatima here temporarily. The tropical storm has officially started to land. In order to fully implement the disaster emergency plan and the safety of the people of the whole country, I suggest that the bombing mission be carried out immediately. !"

"No problem, what is our first mission location?"

"Just 9 kilometers away from Bagdogra, in Darjeeling District, Jalpaiguri Division, Alipur Dam!!"

"Hippo No. 4, No. 5, pay attention, target Darjeeling County, repeat, target..."

The executive ability of the soldiers is indeed not comparable to that of the bloated official system of the government department. As soon as Gu Ji finished speaking, Swaraj began to contact the helicopter pilot with a walkie-talkie.

After the command is passed in place, the wing restarts.

Swaraj took the initiative to invite Gu Ji and Fatima to enter the cabin. The Mi-171 can carry a maximum of 40 people, but generally it can only carry about 20 people. Even so, it can easily accommodate two people.

Entering the cabin, Gu Ji noticed all kinds of equipment and materials placed behind the cabin, among which were a large amount of TNT explosives, which was a typical representative of military explosives.

Theoretically speaking, it is enough to use industrial explosives to explode dams, because civil explosives are cheaper, easy to produce, and convenient to use. They can be used in large quantities and can be loaded into a small space to detonate. They are the first choice for engineering blasting.

But since it is a military operation right now, the mountain division troops will definitely not carry civilian explosives. After all, its stability is poor and it is difficult to store them for a long time. Military explosives have good safety performance, high explosive power, and very high quality requirements.

Compared with the two, civilian explosives have low power, low detonation velocity, and short storage period. Military explosives require high purity, high energy requirements, outstanding safety performance, long-term storage performance, and good impact resistance. In other words, the former mainly relies on increase and decrease. The amount is used to carry out blasting operations. The latter pursues high power explosives, and can't wait to use one catty for two catties.

The distance of 9 kilometers is almost a blink of an eye for an airplane.

Not long after the helicopter took off, Gu Ji and Fatima saw the lights lit up in the mountain stream not far away, which was the town of Darjeeling County near the banks of the Mohananda River.

As the helicopter landed on the plain near the river bank.

The local residents who heard the loud noise ran out from the shore of the town to watch. It wasn't until the armed soldiers came out from the cabin that they hid behind walls or rocks in panic.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Gu Ji looked at the rushing river in front of him.

Even though the tropical storm has not hit northern West Bengal, the water level of the river has changed, which may be related to changes in groundwater levels caused by low pressure, or the movement of the Himalayas upstream of the river.

"Fatima, you should immediately contact the magistrate of Darjeeling County and ask him to come over to support the blasting operation, and dispatch the police and fire brigade to transfer the people to the villages in the downstream area of ​​the Alipur Dam!"

"Okay, Viddy!"

Fatima immediately took out her mobile phone and called the county magistrate according to the list given by the prime minister.

Because the central cabinet government has already completed the communication in advance, and the county magistrate of Darjeeling County is very cooperative. Long before they arrived, they had already arranged for the military, police, and transportation to prepare for the transfer of the area where the dam may be threatened. Now we just wait With just one order from him, they can be quickly transferred to the nearby highland disaster refuge center.

"Swaraj, Officer Marlowe, we can begin preparations!"

All is ready except for the opportunity.

After Gu Ji finished speaking, Swaraj directed the troops to carry all kinds of professional equipment and blasting tools and other items, especially the amount of explosives, which was very scary, because the dam was built on the gorge of a mountain stream, and the volume of explosives consumed was huge. The amount is naturally very large.

Seeing this, he offered to propose:
"Sir Swaraj, can I go with the troops, or I can make changes at any time according to the situation on site!"

"With all due respect, Mr. Vidi, you are a civil servant. The blasting of the dam is a very dangerous operation. The shock wave of the explosion and the instantaneous flood caused by the failure of the dam are all extremely dangerous factors. I suggest that you still follow the I stay together, we are equipped with very smooth communication equipment, we can keep track of the actual situation of the bombing site at any time!"

Swaraj is in the role of "Shore Command".

He reminded Gu Ji that it was good intentions, but in order to complete the cooperation mission, Gu Ji had to follow the troops to carry out actual actions, so he said again: "Sir Swaraj, you can rest assured that I have served in the Mountain Division before. Specialized in military blasting."

"Oh?"
