I work as a mercenary in northern Myanmar.

Chapter 609 SSSG
Mount Ushba is special because its location is quite sensitive.

It is close to the disputed area of ​​South Ossetia and on the border between Russia and Georgia.

The shortest straight-line distance from the foot of the mountain to the Russian border is only 1.2 kilometers. If someone is willing to take the risk and slide down from the top of the mountain on a sled, it will take less than two minutes to reach Russia.

Chen Chen understood very well the internal logic of why this combat mission would take place here.

The reason is simple. If those ISA agents, who are basically equivalent to "defectors", want to hide, they will most likely hide in such highly sensitive corners that are easy to escape.

What's more, Mount Ushba is not a barren land. At the foot of the mountain are hiking camps and snow mountain tourist areas, and the number of tourists visiting it reaches tens of thousands every year.

Life here may be boring, but it is definitely not hard.

For those agents, as long as they can survive the most difficult years, when the impact of those events gradually fades, perhaps they can return to the city, hide their identities and start a new life again.

But unfortunately, they no longer have this opportunity.

Now, not only the Dongfeng Corps wants to kill them, but their own colleagues are also hunting them down.

None of these three parties are friendly forces. Once they meet, it will inevitably be a life-and-death melee.

Chen Chen suddenly felt that ISA was quite pitiful.

They are the ones who do the dirty work and they are the ones who die.

In terms of treatment, it is even worse than this black glove of mine.

After all, the big bosses in the north really didn't want to kill him. If they really wanted to kill him, the J-8 would not have been secretly transported to Pubei, but would have flown over at a low altitude.
On the plane, Chen Chen was analyzing the subsequent tactical arrangements while wondering why this was happening.

This is a country that was founded on war, so why are they so ruthless when it comes to killing their own heroes?

Aren’t you afraid that the Civil War will be reenacted one day?

Chen Chen didn't figure out this question until he got off the plane, but he didn't really care that much.

The plane landed at Tbilisi Airport. Then, the 12-member team transferred from Tbilisi to Kutaisi. After landing, they found the pick-up personnel and continued to drive from Kutaisi to Mestia.

The last leg of the journey was only 160 kilometers, but it took them a full five hours.

The road conditions were very poor, and there were constant military and police controls along the way, so the speed of travel was extremely slow.

Fortunately, they finally arrived safely and checked into the most luxurious hotel in Mestia.

It is called a hotel, but in fact it is just a larger B&B.

Xiaoyu helped everyone to complete the formalities in the name of the northern tour group. Under the leadership of the "team leader", everyone booked the entire hotel very unobtrusively and successfully received the equipment sent from the border.

Sitting in the hotel room, Chen Chen carefully checked all the corners where cameras might be hidden and turned on the interference blocker.

Afterwards, everyone finally unpacked the boxes and began to check the equipment for this mission.

Just as Chen Chen had requested, all guns were customized. All rifles were G36, but it should actually be called MG36. Taking the Dongfeng Corps' combat style into consideration, in order to reduce weight as much as possible, everyone except snipers and full-time machine gunners was only equipped with one main weapon.

Therefore, the firepower of this main weapon is crucial.

The MG36, equipped with a heavy barrel, drum magazine, folding bipod and thermal imaging sight, just meets all their needs.

Chen Chen pressed the bullets into the drum one by one. Li Bang, who was sitting next to him, looked at his gun, then looked at the M249 in his hand, shook his head and said:

"This thing doesn't work no matter how you look at it."

“I still don’t understand why you don’t continue to use HK416, which is clearly reliable in low temperature environments.”

"You know it's OK, but it's unstable."

Chen Chen shook his head and explained:
"The G36 has a very thick shell, and the barrel sleeve and steel frame are integrally injection molded. In low-temperature environments, thermal expansion and contraction are not obvious, and the stability is better than most guns."

"Although the HK416 is indeed easy to use, the problem is that it is still too delicate. Once something goes wrong, there is no place to repair it."

"Of course, if there is a backup gun, even if the main weapon has a problem, the worst that can happen is to replace it with another one."

"But as you know, in this situation, we have to reduce the weight as much as possible. We can't carry two weapons at all."

"In fact, I wanted to remove the machine gunner at the beginning, but thinking that there would probably be a large-scale battle in this operation, I decided to keep you in the end."

"When we get to the snowy mountains, you'd better run faster."

"You three are the only ones in this team who have no experience in snowy plateau operations. You can only adapt as quickly as possible."

"According to the plan, we will follow the hiking team up the mountain tomorrow and climb first."

"If it doesn't work, you guys should evacuate as soon as possible to avoid holding everyone back."

"clear."

Li Bang nodded and suddenly asked:
"Don't you have any experience?"

".I have a solid theoretical foundation."

Chen Chen avoided answering, while Shi Dakai on the side smiled without saying anything.

Li Bang scratched his head awkwardly and said:

"Oh, I just said it casually. There is still time, why not go up now?"

"Have you ever seen any tourists going up the mountain at this time? Unless they want to die on the mountain."

Chen Chen pointed outside the window. From the perspective of their room, the majestic Mount Ushba was right in front of them.

The impact of this scenery is quite great. The whole mountain almost fills up the window, as if if you don't move, the mountain will rush towards you in the next second.

Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing briefly and watched with bated breath as the sunset dyed the snow-capped mountains golden.

After a long time, the sky gradually changed from light blue to dark blue, and the snow mountain turned back into its original ordinary snow mountain.

Chen Chen took out a high-power telescope from the equipment box, assembled it and began to observe the situation on the snow-capped mountains.

As he looked, he kept reporting the location and landmark information. After just half an hour, a side-view map of the snow mountain had basically taken shape.

Taking the map handed over by Shi Dakai, Chen Chen frowned and shook his head, then said:
“This snowy mountain is not clean.”

"Unclean? What do you mean?"

Lin He's curiosity was piqued instantly. He probably thought Chen Chen was going to tell a horrible, absurd or bizarre story, but Chen Chen just rolled his eyes at him and said:

"The side we are facing now is the route commonly used by tourists and climbers. I originally thought that this place is not popular and there should not be obvious signs of human activities."

“But now when you look at it, there are all kinds of camps, facilities, and even a mountaintop hotel and restaurant.”

“Although they are all very run-down, the density is a bit too high.”

"There is no real no-man's land on this mountain. As a result, it is almost impossible for us to predict the possible location of the enemy's actions. We can only wait for follow-up intelligence notifications."

"The time left for verification is seriously insufficient. Although it is unlikely to fall into a passive position, this thing is like catching a mouse. You don't know where to catch it."

Hearing Chen Chen's words, the other three people in the room also frowned.

Then, Lin He asked:
"Didn't Sister Xiaoyu say she would give accurate intelligence?"

"Intelligence can only indicate time and place, both of which must be true."

“But the timeliness may not be true.”

"Even if there is only a 30-minute difference in time, it is enough to be fatal."

“To solve this problem, we have to deploy to the mountains in advance.”

“But where to deploy it is another new question.”

“Decentralized deployment.”

Shi Dakai raised his hand and said:
"Let's go up the mountain and don't come down." "Didn't you say there are hotels and restaurants up there? Let's have Xiaoyu release inaccurate intelligence 12 hours in advance, and then we'll go up the mountain and wait."

"As soon as we get accurate intelligence, we will act immediately and not give them time to react."

“It’s so eye-catching.”

Chen Chen shook his head and replied:

"There is no other meaning to doing this except exposing ourselves in advance."

"Have you forgotten what Xiaoyu said? CIASAD has begun operations in this area."

"Then don't deploy them in areas with people. There won't be people everywhere on such a large snowy mountain, right?"

"Hypothermia can kill people."

Chen Chen shook his head again, and his right hand that was holding the bullet stopped subconsciously.

This really seems to be the best approach.

To take advantage of this time difference, you have to appear in a place where the enemy absolutely does not expect you to appear.

Then, deploying to the mountain in advance is the only solution.

But the question is, can anyone really endure it for 12 hours?
The thin air at high altitudes, coupled with low temperatures, poses a challenge to physical fitness that cannot be ignored.
"Take a step back."

Li Bang looked at Chen Chen, then at Shi Dakai, and then said:
"The mission is expected to be completed the morning of the day after tomorrow, and we still have a full day tomorrow to test."

"After we get up the mountain, if we can bear it, we will just go up the mountain and not come down."

"If we can't bear it, we will make other plans."

"With enough equipment, I don't think it will be a big problem."

"Then try it!"

Chen Chen finally made the decision, and after making the decision, everyone relaxed.
-
However, even before this decision was implemented, it was bound to bring them huge challenges.

"Big Kai, contact the contact person to arrange the equipment airdrop plan and have the drone pilots get ready."

"If we don't come down tomorrow, the rear base here will have to make its own decisions."

“Once they receive notification of the small fish, they need to launch a drone and airlift the equipment we need.”

"This is equivalent to overdrawing our transportation capacity in advance. It is also a challenge for drone pilots. We must make a good plan!"

"understand!"

Shi Dakai nodded solemnly and said:

"I will go over the details with them personally today and brief you on the process of climbing the mountain tomorrow morning."

"no problem."

Chen Chen made an OK gesture with confidence. It was almost 6pm and it was time for the tourists to have dinner.

The team members walked out of the room one after another and ate at different time periods, trying to avoid appearing in front of third parties in a "collective" manner at the same time.

After finishing their meal, Chen Chen walked outside with Shi Dakai like a tourist.

The small town of Mestia is actually quite primitive. In a word, there are no signs of industrialization.

Walking on the road surrounded by wooden fences, Chen Chen even felt like he was in Switzerland.

However, this feeling was soon broken.

A convoy that was so conspicuous that everyone stopped to watch drove in, turned a fork in the road, and disappeared completely.

Chen Chen watched them leave. After a moment of silence, he said to Shi Dakai beside him:
"Now it's interesting."

"I don't know whether the Americans are too lazy to act or Georgia is too stupid."

"These people drove their cars in with such fanfare. Don't they think they are being too high-profile?"

"Just because they changed the license plate, they think that others don't recognize their car?"

"With the car window open, are you planning to show off your muscles and hook up with some tourists before the mission begins?"

"Is this an American? Davis? ISA?"

Shi Dakai asked in amazement.

"No."

Chen Chen shook his head and replied:
"This is a SSSG car, the Georgian State Security Service."

"Their cars are very distinctive, all black. I've seen videos of them conducting anti-terrorist exercises in the Stepantsminda area before, and they were driving cars of this type."

"There are still marks on their windshields from special passes, which must have been torn off temporarily."

"This is too careless. Are you still working for their American daddy?"

"Are they here to assist Davis?"

Shi Dakai continued to ask.

“I don’t know, but it’s very likely.”

"It is impossible for the US side not to arrange some support here, and judging from the current situation, it is reasonable to seek assistance from the Army and the Security Bureau."

“This is a problem for us.”

"If a war really breaks out, we may not only have to fight the Americans, but also the SSSG."

Having said this, Chen Chen's voice gradually became quieter.

He was thinking about how to get rid of the helper Davis found.

In other words, what he was thinking about was how to ensure that his team could escape unscathed if he was sure that a fourth party was involved.

But no matter how he thought about it, the probability was a bit too low, and the difficulty of the operation was frighteningly high.

"I have a solution."

Shi Dakai moved a little closer and then said:
"Leave someone at the foot of the mountain."

"In fact, I never believed that our entire team could adapt to high-altitude snow operations."

"Among these 12 people, or even among the four of us, there is a possibility that someone may not be able to bear it."

"In that case, those who can't bear it should not go."

"Let's find a good opportunity to kill all the SSSG members before we start the fight. This will cut off their retreat and help draw firepower to the main battlefield on the mountain. How do you think?"

".Taking the initiative to attack the special forces of a sovereign country, do you know what this is?"

Chen Chen asked with a frown.

“Georgia still has sovereignty?”

Shi Dakai smiled disdainfully, and then said:

"I'll do this."

"I probably won't be able to climb the mountain."

"I'm the best at this kind of dirty work."
