"You guys came very quickly." Huo Ran? Wen?.?r a?n?wen`" A U.S. Army second lieutenant wearing a standard helmet breathed a sigh of relief, put down his weapon and nodded, "I'm Mark, I'm a special U.S. military officer.

From the action team, I will be responsible for cooperating with you in this operation. It is not safe here. Let’s get in the car. We have a camp in a nearby village.”

Lin Rui nodded, "Then let's go to your camp first. I need you to provide more information." Lin Rui waved his hand and asked the team members to board the US military vehicle, and then followed them to a nearby village.

There are armed men in this village, but they are obviously with the US military.

Second Lieutenant Mark nodded and whispered, "They are Kurds, not the same as those extremists. We have established a temporary camp here, but our manpower is limited and we are too close to the former enemy. So the best way is to cooperate with the local armed forces

Alliance. They really gave us a lot of help."

"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 so far?"

"Okay, I knew you would ask that." Second Lieutenant Mark whispered, "We captured a man yesterday during the day. He was one of the armed men who attacked the village last week. I think he should know something. But

He is very tough and has not spoken yet."

"Take me over there and have a look." Lin Rui nodded.

Lieutenant Mark took him to a small house at the back. There was a man tied to a pillar, his hands and feet bound by wires. He looked injured and was covered in blood.

"Is it him?" Lin Rui frowned.

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

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

Second Lieutenant Mark frowned and said, "It takes half an hour to get him to confess? 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 in getting clues in this way. Maybe he

They will set a trap for us before they die. This kind of thing happens all the time. Do you have any other clues?"

Second Lieutenant Mark nodded, "One thing. We checked the previous situation and found that there were two frequently active armed forces in the area where the investigation team passed. They provided us with some clues. They said that several Western soldiers were recently attacked by a group of armed forces.

The elements were escorted to the village in the south. But we were unable to investigate in depth because it was occupied by a group of crazy extremist militants. In the past two weeks, they have wildly attacked anyone who dared to get close, whether they were civilians or soldiers. Even Iraqis

Even government helicopters dare not pass through that area."

"Could the Western soldiers they are talking about be the British and SAS Special Air Service Regiment who followed the investigation team?" Lin Rui frowned.

"It's very possible, because we haven't received any information about the disappearance of friendly troops in this area recently." Second Lieutenant Mark nodded. "Except for the British troops accompanying the investigation and evidence collection team."

"Where were they sent?" Lin Rui asked.

Second Lieutenant Mark whispered, "It is the village of Aita in the south, the largest gathering place of extremist militants. The Iraqi government forces have carried out several encirclement and suppression campaigns, but all failed miserably. There are estimated to be thousands of armed people there, as well as armored vehicles.

and heavy artillery. The chemical weapons that attacked other villages some time ago were most likely launched by them. Because they have a large number of 107 rocket launchers and some homemade equipment."

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

"It turns out, there are not that many. Because these armed rebels have been retreating steadily recently, many militants have been withdrawn from Mosul. They have hit it off with the local armed forces. These people are entrenched in several nearby villages, not only openly collaborating with the government

The exchange of fire between the military and the military is getting bigger and bigger. Areas controlled by government troops are attacked by them almost every day. The most common ones are rockets, including standard weapons and various homemade artillery shells." Second Lieutenant Mark

He turned to Lin Rui and said, "Come and take a look at this."

"Is this a gas tank?" Lin Rui looked at something that looked like a cannonball and frowned.

"Militants made homemade gas tank shells. They drilled holes in small gas tanks, poured explosives, and welded a connecting rod and a few tail fins on the back. They can then use them to launch attacks. This was a recent seizure operation.

The ones seized by the Iraqis were hand-made and very cheap, but very lethal. They usually used grinding wheels to grind grooves on the gas tanks. Once they exploded, they would shatter along the grooves and produce

A lot of fragments. Huge lethality.

Recently, they have a new trick, pouring chemical poison directly into it. They rely on the mortar fuse installed on the head to detonate it. Once it explodes, the chemical poison will be sprayed everywhere, forming smoke in the air. To be honest, the power of their chemical poison is

Not big. It won’t have much impact on the military who have protective equipment, but it will be very lethal to civilians." Second Lieutenant Mark said to Lin Rui.

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

"Yes, they are found in the area outside that village. We believe they should have a chemical weapons filling and processing plant there. Because to be honest, this thing does not have much technical content. It is nothing more than pressure filling, as long as

With 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 walked out.

"How is it?" Lin Rui whispered.

"He said that in the southern Aita village, they used an existing silver mine to build an underground fortification. It was very large, and there were a lot of guards in the village. The investigation team should be detained there, and they are still there.

The reason for not announcing this to the outside world was because they wanted to take them hostage and bargain with the Iraqi government forces when the war went unfavorably. In addition, they were holding the British troops and the chemical weapons investigation and evidence collection team to avoid air strikes by the Iraqi government forces there.

Crazy Horse replied.

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

"That man is just a low-level member of the outer ring of the militants. He doesn't know much, and most of it is hearsay. He doesn't know the specific location of the silver mine." Crazy Horse washed the blood on his hands, shook his head and said, "That's all he has.
