"You came very quickly. August 1?? Chinese W?W?W.81ZW.COM" A US military second lieutenant wearing a standard helmet breathed a sigh of relief, put down his weapon and nodded, "I'm Mark, I'm the US military special operations team. Yes, I will be in charge of cooperating with you in this operation. It's not safe here, let's get in the car and say, we have a camp in a nearby village. "

Lin Rui nodded, "Then go to your camp first, I need more information from you." Lin Rui waved his hand and let the team members board the US military car, and then followed them to a nearby village inside. There are armed men in the village, but they are clearly with the US military.

Second Lieutenant Mark nodded and said in a low voice, "They are Kurds, and they are not on the same path as those extremists. We have established a temporary camp here, but we have limited manpower and are too close to the former enemy. So the best way is to fight with local armed forces. Alliances. They also really helped us a lot."

"I'm not interested in these." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "I just want to know information about those militants. And about the investigation and evidence collection team of the anti-chemical weapons organization, what news do you have at the moment?"

"Well, I knew you were going to ask that." Lieutenant Mark whispered, "We got a guy back during the day yesterday. He was one of those militants who attacked the village last week. I think he should know something. But He's tough, and he's not opening his mouth yet."

"Take me over there." Lin Rui nodded.

Lieutenant Mark took him to a small house in the back, where a man was tied to a post, his hands and feet bound with wire. He looked wounded and covered in blood.

"That's him?" Lin Rui frowned.

"It's him. He was arrested yesterday morning, so if the investigation team is caught by them, he should know the inside story." Second Lieutenant Mark nodded.

"That's it. My people took over the interrogation here. Give us half an hour." Lin Rui turned around and made a gesture to Crazy Horse.

Second Lieutenant Mark frowned, "You can get him to confess in half an hour? What if he doesn't?"

"I hate torturing prisoners of war, but if Crazy Horse can't pry his mouth open, then there's no need to torture him." Lin Rui shook his head, "and I don't have much hope for clues obtained this way. Maybe he Will set a trap for us before we die. This kind of thing is also common. Do you have any other clues?"

Second Lieutenant Mark nodded, "A little bit. We checked the previous situation, and there were two local armed forces in the area where the investigation team passed by, and they gave us some clues. They said that several Western soldiers were recently armed by a group. The elements were escorted to the village to the south. But we couldn't investigate further because it was occupied by a crazy group of extremist militants. For the past two weeks, they have been frantically attacking anyone who dared to approach, whether it was civilians or soldiers. Even Iraq Helicopters of the government forces did not dare to pass through that area.”

"Will the Western soldiers they are talking about be the British who followed the investigation team, or the sas special air crew?" Lin Rui frowned.

"It is very likely, because we have been in this area recently and have not received any information about the disappearance of friendly troops." Second Lieutenant Mark nodded. "Except for the British troops accompanying that investigation and forensics team."

"Where were they sent?" Lin Rui asked.

Second Lieutenant Mark said in a low voice, "It's the southern village of Aita, the largest gathering place for extremist militants. The Iraqi government forces have carried out several encirclement and suppression campaigns, but they have all failed miserably. It is estimated that there are thousands of armed people and armored vehicles there. And heavy artillery. The chemical weapons that attacked other villages some time ago were probably fired by them. Because they have a large number of 1o7 rocket launchers and some homemade equipment. "

"There are so many people?" Lin Rui frowned.

"It turns out, not so much. Because these armed rebels have been losing ground recently, a lot of militants have been withdrawn from Mosul, and they hit it off with the local armed forces. These people are entrenched in several nearby villages, not only openly and the government The exchange of fire between the armed forces is still increasing. The government-controlled areas are attacked by them almost every day. The most common ones are rockets, including standard weapons and various homemade artillery shells.” Second Lieutenant Mark Mark He turned to Lin Rui and said, "Come and see this."

"Is this a gas tank?" Lin Rui frowned as he looked at what looked like a cannonball.

"The militants made their own gas cannonballs. They drilled holes in small gas canisters, filled them with explosives, and then welded a connecting rod and a few fins to the back. They could be used to attack. This was in a recent raid. It was seized by the Iraqis. It was made by hand, and the cost was a mess, but it was quite lethal. They usually used a grinding wheel to grind the groove on the gas tank body. Once it exploded, it would shatter along the groove and produce a lot of fragments. The lethality is huge.

And recently they have a new trick, directly pouring chemical poison in it. Detonated by a mortar fuze mounted on the head, once it burst, the chemical agent was sprayed everywhere, forming a smoke in the air. Honestly, their chemical agents aren't very powerful. It has little impact on the military with protective gear, but it has a lot of lethality on civilians. "Second Lieutenant Mark said to Lin Rui.

"So, these gas cannonballs were also found near a village?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes, in the area outside the village. We believe they have a chemical weapons filling and processing plant there. Because to be honest, there is not much technical content in this move. It is nothing more than pressure filling, as long as there is simple equipment, they can make it." Second Lieutenant Mark nodded.

"Okay." Lin Rui nodded and turned to look at the interrogation room, because Crazy Horse had already come out.

"How?" Lin Rui whispered.

"He said, in the village of Aita in the south. They used an original silver mine to build an underground fortification. The scale is very large, and there are a lot of guards in the village. The investigation team should be detained there, and they are still there. It was not announced to the public because they wanted to hold them hostage and negotiate with the Iraqi government forces when the war was unfavorable. In addition, they detained the British troops and chemical weapons investigation and evidence collection teams to avoid Iraqi government airstrikes there. ' replied Crazy Horse.

"Oh, does he know the exact location?" Lin Rui frowned.

"That person is just a low-level member of the militants' periphery. He doesn't know much, and many of them are hearsay. He also doesn't know the exact location of the silver mine." Crazy Horse washed the blood on his hands and shook his head, "He only has this I have more information, and I can’t ask any more questions.”
