The shells and rockets exploded like a fierce storm, nearly illuminating the entire night sky!
"These damn camels have finally started moving!"
Feeling the continuous howling above and the relentless explosions ringing out, thunderous and ear-piercing.
At the rear of the position, in a subterranean command center buried several meters underground, the faces of one after another Octopus Village commander were somewhat unpleasant.
Several days ago, they had already received the relevant notification, preparing them to be vigilant for the possible sudden raids by the camels!
And now, as expected, the camels have indeed started their move!
"Damn them! How dare they? Do they not care about the camel hostages we have in our hands?"
"Immediate contact with the command post!"
...
"Sir, frontline reports indicate that the camels have launched attacks on all our frontline positions!"
The command center of the Squid Village received the frontline messages quickly.
Upon hearing the report from his subordinates, the Squid Commander's eyes flashed with cold light.
After that, the Squid Commander, without hesitation, said, "Immediately contact those damn camels and give them a warning. Make them stop all their actions immediately. Otherwise, every ten minutes, we will deal with a camel hostage!"
"Additionally, contact the Black and White Eagle Village and the media under our control. Have them spread the news that the camels are preparing to disregard the lives of civilians and intend to abandon them!"
"Also, I order all the bases holding hostages to strengthen their defenses. Once they detect the presence of camel special forces or any other organization's special forces, regardless of the means, we must leave no trace of them!"
One after another orders, are delivered from the Squid Commander's mouth.
Not long after, the Squid Armed Forces began to move swiftly...
As the Squid Armed Forces moved, several eagle drones equipped with oval-shaped cargo modules flying high above the Squid Village. Inside those oval-shaped cargo modules, indicator lights began to blink repeatedly...
...
"Report! The Sky Eye One detects a large number of ground electromagnetic signals. According to the density of the electromagnetic signals, the initial analysis and judgment shows that the signal density in areas D1 and D3 is the strongest, possibly indicating the Squid Village General Command!"
"Additionally, the Squid A5, B1, and B9 regions also have strong electromagnetic signals. Combined with the intelligence information we previously acquired, it is preliminarily judged that these three areas should be where the Squids hold their hostages..."
"Besides these areas, there are four other regions with strong electromagnetic signals, but these signals are chaotic and disorganized. According to the analysis of artificial intelligence, these signals do not have any value. And in our previous satellite monitoring and various intelligence sources, there is no indication that anyone is being held captive in these areas. Unsurprisingly, these regions should be intentionally set up by the Squids as interference zones..."
Hidden within a dark truck not far from the Squid Village, one sound after another kept echoing.
At the same time, a holographic map was also displayed directly in the dark truck.
On the map, various data points kept appearing, and then they were continuously corrected and updated based on the data received from reconnaissance aircraft and satellites...
The high-tech equipment in the hands of the camels, especially sand camels, are almost all imported from Long Village.
Therefore, Long Village could definitely share data with the camels!
Especially the equipment exported from Su Heng's side.
Although due to the factors of technical confidentiality, the equipment of the camels has been modified and many functions cannot be realized.
But it doesn't matter. This time, with the arrival of the Wolf's Teeth, they brought not only the electromagnetic cannon helicopters and power armor, but also a large number of precision-guided missiles and electronic reconnaissance and electronic countermeasures pods and other special equipment!
Similarly, the Sky Sentinel satellite system above is almost fully operational, providing maximum intelligence support...
The powerful nature of the Power Armor is not just its strong defense and attack capabilities, but also the terrifying power of the vast data link sharing behind it...
"D3, A5, B1?"
"Gray Wolf, it seems our attempt to stir up trouble has worked. The Squids have indeed moved the hostages' locations..."
Looking at the holographic map with constantly updated data in front of him, the deputy captain of the Wolf's Teeth operation team spoke in a low voice at Gray Wolf's side.
Letting the camels act in advance, even heavily locking down the Squid Village, this is itself a part of the rescue operation.
It is a clear message to the Squids and even the Black and White Eagle Village that the camels are preparing to take action!
Let the Squids be alert and strengthen their defense!
As expected, in the past two days of stirring up trouble, the Squid Village revealed the information about the locations where they were holding hostages.
Now, after another round of stirring up trouble, they have further corrected this information!
Among the four regions, only the B9 region is still the area they previously knew about.
The other three regions, including the command center, have been changed!
It must be said that the alertness of these squids is quite strong. Unfortunately, now these squids are not facing camels, but Long Village...
"Let's go, start the operation!"
Another hour had passed before Gray Wolf confirmed all the intelligence information. His mind made up, he closed the helmet on his head.
Then, he picked up the huge box beside him, somersaulted, and jumped down from the back of the truck.
At the same time, several figures followed closely behind Gray Wolf, leaping out from one truck after another.
"Mr. Gray Wolf, is there anything we can help you with?"
Seeing Gray Wolf and his companions emerge from the trucks, the camel commanding officer who had been standing by the side of the trucks asked immediately.
"Wait here, after the operation is finished, I will contact you. This is a map with information, and you can send vehicles to designated locations to pick up hostages according to the map..."
Facing the camel commanding officer's question, Gray Wolf didn't hold back and directly ordered.
While speaking, Gray Wolf handed over a tablet computer from his hand to the camel commanding officer.
On the screen of the tablet computer, a three-dimensional map of the Squid Village's latest situation was displayed prominently...
Having done this, Gray Wolf directly placed the large box behind him on the ground and quickly took out the weapons and equipment inside.
Under the watchful eyes of the camel commanding officer and the other camel soldiers.
A series of sci-fi weapons kept appearing in front of everyone's eyes.
Electromagnetic handguns!
Electromagnetic rifles!
Electromagnetic snipers!
Electromagnetic sniper cannons!
Single-person reconnaissance drones, suicide drones for individuals, single-person reconnaissance mechanical dogs...
As these weapons appeared, the shocked expressions on the camels' eyes became even more prominent.
All this seemed to take a long time, but in total, it didn't exceed one minute!
In less than a minute, all the members of the Wolf's Teeth had finished equipping themselves with the new weapons.
"Team One and Two, follow me. Target D3 region. Team Three, go to B1 region alone. Team Four, go to A5 region alone. Teams Five and Six, go to B9 region alone!"
"Shenzhe One, follow me to D3 region. Shenzhe Two, wait at C8 region on standby, ready to provide air support at any time..."
"Remember, quick and decisive action!"
"After the operation, go to the C8 region to gather..."
After the gear change, Gray Wolf issued the combat orders without a moment's hesitation.
Ten minutes later, under the gaze of the camels, all members of the Wolf's Teeth directly disappeared into the darkness.
This night, the darkness was particularly thick, and one could barely see their hand in front of their face!
However, under the night sky, 36 figures were all moving with quick and steady steps!
The rugged and steep mountain roads, the soft yellow sand, nothing could hinder the steps of the 36 figures...
BANG BANG BANG!!!
The explosive sound deafened ears, accompanied by bright flashes of fire, ringing continuously in the darkness.
Even though it was a feint, with no budget constraints, the camels unleashed a terrifying level of firepower that no village in the world could imagine, let alone 80% of them.
Howitzer shells and rocket shells rained down without mercy on the Squid's positions!
This is the pent-up fury accumulated by the camels over the past period!
The same can be said for the accumulated anger of the camels over the past few decades!
In the past, the camels have not stopped trying to drive the Squids out of the desert.
However, with the support of the White and Black Eagle Village, the camels failed each time.
Especially for the Ba Camel, over the past few decades, not only was their land occupied by more than half, but their population has also sharply declined from the original over ten million to less than three million now.
Over the past few decades, how many people have been killed by the Squids in the Ba Camel, it's a number even the Squids can't count!
…………
As the Squid Village was being covered by gunfire, on the other side, the White and Black Eagle Village——
"Did you investigate it clear?"
Looking at the person in front of him, Brian, the FBL director, who had returned to the office, Yarstram asked in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, Sir. The intelligence from Long Village is too confidential for us to penetrate. The only thing we can confirm is that the camels have launched a new round of attacks against the Squids. Unless something goes wrong, it seems that the camels have received some support from Long Village, and it's possible that Long Village's strength has already entered the desert..."
Facing Yarstram's inquiry, Brian responded immediately.
Upon hearing this, Yarstram's expression slightly sank.
This was not the answer he wanted!
What he wanted was accurate intelligence information!
What promises did Long Village make, what forces were mobilized, and what plans did they have?
He needed those, not the messed-up "possibilities" and "perhaps" that Brian was now saying!
However, thinking about the current situation of FBL, Yarstram finally suppressed his discontent and said again:
"What about the Squids? What do they say?"
Hearing Yarstram's inquiry, the underling Preston immediately spoke up:
"The Squids have sent a message, saying they are fully prepared. At least one regiment is posted around each location holding hostages, and with the defensive capabilities of the underground fortifications, even if faced with a full-on attack from a sand camel synthetic brigade, it's unlikely to capture their base in the short term..."
"If small forces from Long Village or camels really dare to infiltrate, they can guarantee that they will leave without coming back!"
Upon hearing this, Yarstram's expression slightly improved.
That's a piece of good news.
Even if one regiment is defending, with the aid of those fortifications capable of defending against chemical weapons, it's unlikely to be breached easily even if all the soldiers are pigs.
And even if the camels really dare to make a full frontal attack, the Squids might even have the ability to leave some of the camels or forces from Long Village behind!
Thinking of this, a flash of determination passed through Yarstram's eyes, and then he directly said:
"Contact the Squids and tell them that if they really discover the forces of Long Village, no matter what the cost, they must leave those damn guys behind! If possible, try to capture them alive!"
"Those damn Long Villagers, they said they didn't help the camels, right? If we have any Long Village people alive in our hands, I'll see how they can justify themselves then!"
As he finished, Yarstram's voice was as cold as ice.
He has had enough of this kind of situation.
How could the camels have driven them to this point without the support of Long Village?
Even more so, it's not just that they are being forced; the camels never would have dared to act against them in the first place!
If they really did start a fight, the previous dumb woodpecker would now be facing the current sand camels and a group of camels!
It can be said that all their encounters with the White and Black Eagle are because of Long Village!
Yarstram could say that he had an irreconcilable hatred for Long Village!
Why does Long Village want to resist?
Why does Long Village want to rebel?
Can't they just obediently be dogs to the White and Black Eagle Village like the East Village and North Korea Village?
…………
On the other side, the Squid Village——
In a certain city shrouded in darkness——
"Buzz!!"
As two soft sounds echoed, two figures that had been lurking in the dark corners directly fell to the ground in response.
Under the cover of intense explosion sounds around, the two figures collapsed to the ground, not causing any alert from others.
At the same time, in another location that could observe this concealed corner, two other hidden figures also quietly fell to the darkness.
Along with the four figures falling to the ground.
Two mechanical dogs, no more than ten centimeters in height and with palm-sized bodies, slowly walked out from the dark corners.
From the heads of the mechanical dogs, there were two dark holes resembling rifle barrels, and faintly there was a glimmer of dim blue light. But just a moment later, this faint light vanished...
After entering two hidden spaces and returning to circle around in the surroundings, several figures finally emerged from the darkness.
"Reporting, second squad has completed the target elimination task. Targets four, five, six and seven have been eliminated. Signal jamming device has been installed!"
After another thorough check, the leading shadow took out a palm-sized device from the backpack behind him, placed it on the floor in front of him, and then pressed a button on the device.
At the same time, a low sound echoed from the earcups of the leading person.
"Receiving, waiting at the original position!"
The leader said directly.
"Yes!"
The communication ended. The leader glanced at the person behind him, and the person behind quickly moved forward. In a blink of an eye, a grey projection was directly displayed on the visor of everyone's helmet.
The holographic projection was only something that appeared when not in mission mode or for those without powered armor and biological intelligent helmets to view intelligence.
As for in mission mode, all information will be shared directly into the biological intelligent helmets.
There was no need for the extra effort of projecting the map out.
"Captain, according to our detection equipment, there are three circular defense zones within a radius of five hundred meters around this base. The known armed forces detected within the defense range total exactly 1,347 people!"
"The position we are in now is a hidden lookout at the edge of the third defensive ring. If we move forward twenty meters, it will be the third defensive ring!"
"But perhaps to lull us or the camels, prevent them from using heavy weapons for concentrated strikes, the Squids have not built extensive dense defensive fortifications on the surface"
"However, even so, the surrounding area is still covered with numerous concealed strongholds and lookouts. The chance of sneaking in silently is less than 20%!"
A low voice echoed quietly in the darkness.
