Chapter 239 Yes, but I Don’t Plan to Take the Risk

"I may have accidentally bumped into something just now, and the communicator was damaged by me. Fortunately, there is a spare one in the warehouse."

"You should be lucky that I didn't treat you as an enemy."

Natasha rolled her eyes, put away the Glock pistol she was holding tightly in her hand, and then made a gesture to the other side of the street to confirm that it was safe to pass.

"I actually noticed it, and then I realized there was something wrong with my communicator."

Leni squatted on the edge of the roof, using the cover of night to look at the dimming Central Hotel in the distance.

"The situation over at the hotel has attracted a lot of enemy attention. Their armored units are advancing this way and will arrive here soon. We have to move quickly."

Through the scanning of the radar system, Leni discovered that the armored troops stationed in the southeast were turning their direction. It seemed that the explosion of the helicopter had attracted their attention.

"Yes, the explosion at the Central Hotel and the crashed helicopter just now made the defenders here mistakenly think that they were Mr. Iron Man Stark and they arrived at the battlefield. Their commander ordered them to return to defense as soon as possible."

Fitz, who was always monitoring the enemy's radio communications, immediately reported the situation to Leni and others, and accurately predicted the enemy's route.

Looking at the red route marked by Fitz on the holographic map, Mester told Leni the bad news with a frown.

"They are expected to arrive in your neighborhood in about 3 minutes, and our evacuation plan may be affected."

"I know, I'm watching them."

The enemy's armored force was actually just a small force consisting of three tanks and five armed pickup trucks.

These people are not the front-line troops that successfully resisted the resistance attack before, but a temporary garrison composed of damaged troops stranded here.

Their tanks had been damaged in previous encounters and had to be parked here for repairs.

The commander thought it was just a minor problem and that the three tanks would be able to return to the front line soon, but he never thought that the repair would take nearly a month.

I don't know whether it's because their logistics are too stretched, or because these people don't want to go back to the front line at all. In short, the three tanks have been stranded here.

"Do we need to use air-to-ground missiles? The two Hellfire missiles mounted on Aegis 13 can easily take out two tanks."

"But what to do with the remaining tanks? There are also those armed pickup trucks. Although they are not a high threat, they can still prevent us from landing. If they are delayed for too long, they may attract more enemies. ”

Faced with Simmons' doubts, Skye did not pay too much attention. Instead, she felt that she could take the risk and give it a try, and she had absolute confidence in Melinda's driving skills.

"It's not a big problem. It's not like we don't have other weapons on board, not to mention that Mei is here!"

"I don't agree! Not to mention whether you have any misunderstandings about Mei's driving skills, if we fail to complete the evacuation at the first time, the enemy troops who react will soon surround us, and we will be surrounded soon. Total siege here.”

Meester didn't think this was a good idea. There were too many enemies that needed to be dealt with immediately. If there was a mistake in coordination, the loss would not only be the inability to complete the mission.

Melinda would have the same idea about this:

"I don't agree either. The risk is too great."

"Don't we have Leni? She should have Javelin missiles in her warehouse, right? Just get rid of the remaining tanks as soon as possible, right?"

Skye still wanted to persist and turned to Leni.

"Skye is right, I can indeed handle the remaining tank."

Skye's face lit up, she felt very accomplished that her plan was approved by Leni.

"Right, Leni said so..."

But before she could finish her words, Leni interrupted again:

"But! I'm not going to take the risk."

If it was just her and the quick reaction force like before, she would definitely launch an attack on the enemy as Skye envisioned, and then complete the retreat in front of all the enemies.

But the current situation is completely different. Their mission is not to defeat all the defenders here, but to take away several CIA agents below who are waiting to go home.

Leni was not going to risk the lives of these people and let them go crazy with her.

It's true that she is a gunner, and she is indeed more suitable for the battlefield, but before that, she still has one responsibility to bear, and that is to take everyone here back safely.

"Mei, can you help us retreat from the roof of this building?"

Melinda heard this and turned her head to look down at the city that was dimly burning with fire.

"No problem, what are you going to do?"

Leni raised her gun and killed an enemy who climbed onto the roof of the building in the distance to prevent that guy from affecting everyone's evacuation later.

"Wait for the enemies below to pass by here later. While the shooting angle of their tanks is not enough, you gradually lower your height and approach us from the direction they came from, and then hover the fighter plane to the north side of this building."

"Relying on the optical camouflage system mounted on the Aegis 13 fighter plane, as well as the obstruction of the buildings on both sides of the street, and the radar systems on their several broken tanks, it is absolutely impossible to detect us!"

Once again killing an enemy who dared to show his face, Leni leaned down and completely hid her figure in the night.

"The engines of their tanks will become the protective umbrella of the Aegis 13 turbine engines. As long as we move fast enough, no one will notice that we are on top of their heads!"

Melinda thought about it and felt that this plan was feasible. Low-altitude flying was not difficult for her. The only thing she needed to worry about was whether the enemy would detect her during the landing.

"I understand, we will arrive at the scheduled location in one minute!"

After receiving the confirmation, Leni immediately informed Natasha below who was covering several CIA agents crossing the road.

"Listen to the plan clearly. You two bring them up quickly. There is a room on the north side of the fifth floor with a balcony. When Melinda arrives Natasha, you can take them directly to the plane."

"Ward, come to the roof right now. I need you to work with me to cover Melinda's landing!"

"receive!"

"learn!"

The two received the order without any nonsense, and Ward immediately led the remaining two CIA agents straight to the other side of the street.

In order not to attract the attention of the enemy, Ward did not let the six CIA agents cross the road together, but divided them into three groups.

After Natasha passed and confirmed that it was safe, they crossed the streets one by one in pairs until the last three of them were left.

But just as they were preparing to complete the crossing under the cover of abandoned vehicles on the street, an accident happened.

"Be careful! There is someone in your street store at 5 o'clock! I can't provide sniper support here!"
