The safety of the convoy mostly relies on the support of a military base not too far away.
The other side came prepared and carried electronic jamming devices.
If they are unable to ask for help, with the dozen or so soldiers left, they may not be able to hold out for a few minutes.
In Tony's opinion, the attackers' firepower was more fierce than that of the US military convoy of dozens of people.
His feeling was indeed correct. There were far more than dozens of attackers, but nearly two hundred.
They set up an ambush in advance, their guns were no worse than those of the American soldiers, and they had artillery support, so it only took them a few minutes to defeat more than 30 soldiers.
A bald man was looking at the convoy with a telescope behind a small dirt hill. He suddenly turned around and shouted, "Pay attention to the target. Don't shoot at his car. I want to see who this guy is."
He was very interested in the top executives of Stark Group who could be killed at a huge price.
Such people are very useful, how can we just kill them
The female soldier in the back row couldn't sit still anymore after seeing the battle outside. She yelled at Tony who was lying on the back seat, "Stay in the car and don't run around."
Then she pushed the door and got out.
The bandits had too great an advantage. It might be useless for her to join the resistance, but she would definitely die if she didn't resist.
In Afghanistan, anyone who dares to attack U.S. troops will not let them survive.
Without the suppression of the female soldier, Tony immediately sat up.
His mind was in a mess and he just wanted to see what was happening outside.
As a result, the female soldier who got off the vehicle fired for a moment before she was hit in the arm by a bullet. She screamed, turned half a circle and fell to the ground.
Tony's heart trembled and his blood boiled.
He has always been a courageous person, he was just stunned by the sudden and brutal battle.
At this moment, seeing that this heroic female soldier who had been chatting with him all the way dared to go out to fight, his mind finally came to its senses.
He pushed open the door on the female soldier's side, climbed down, pulled her closer, and put her against the rear wheel, yelling, "How are you?"
The female soldier yelled “shit” and quickly answered his question: “Fortunately, no bones were broken, it just hurts a little.”
Tony looked at the injury on her arm and couldn't help but look sideways: There's a hole on your arm, sister! Is it... a little painful
But the female soldier's words made Tony feel relieved. At least she was still conscious.
He grabbed the rifle she had dropped, leaned over the hood of the car, and fired wildly at the left side of the convoy.
The female soldier screamed while trying to stop his reckless behavior: "Hurry up and squat down, squat down, or you will be beaten to death."
While yelling, she pulled out a pistol from the quick-draw holster on the side of her leg, gritted her teeth, stood up, and fired at the attacker.
Tony is a billionaire and also the person she protects.
He was involved in the battle, she couldn't just lie there.
At this moment, with a whoosh, an object with white smoke came diagonally from the hillside, narrowly brushing past the front of the car where the two were sitting, and then crashed into the sand not far behind them with a thud.
The two men's eyes moved over involuntarily, and they saw an RPG warhead with the Stark trademark stuck in the sand and smoking.
The female soldier's heart tightened, and she rushed to Tony who was not far away: "Get down."
Just as she pounced on Tony, the bullet exploded with a bang.
The female soldier who had just hugged Tony's waist was blown several meters away by the huge air wave and fell heavily to the ground.
Tony's ears buzzed and he lowered his hands that had just been raised.
He subconsciously raised his hand to cover his face. Even if he died, he had to preserve his handsome face. He must not be blown into a pockmarked face to meet God.
Looking to the side, the female soldier who had pounced on him was lying a few meters away, no longer moving.
Just as he was about to get up and take a look, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He gritted his teeth and tore open his clothes, only to see a number of tiny holes on the high-grade bulletproof vest underneath, which were pierced by the shrapnel from the RPG just now.
Fortunately! If it weren't for the bulletproof vest, my chest would have been blown to pieces. Tony thought so in his heart, and he felt black in front of his eyes, and lay on the ground again with weakness, completely losing consciousness.
On the hillside, the bald bandit leader cursed in annoyance: "Damn it, which idiot did this? I want to live."
Looking at Tony lying below, he could only hope that this guy was not crushed to death, or at least the idiot who fired the rocket just now did not hit the military vehicle directly, otherwise this target would have a hard time surviving.
…
It wasn't until half a month after Tony was attacked that Luke noticed anything unusual.
The intelligence-gathering system he named Polyhedron discovered something.
Someone contacted with a titanium mobile phone and revealed some things happening in Afghanistan. The woman was the wife of a military general.
When she posted the f2f, she mentioned that her husband went on a business trip to Afghanistan.
Polyhedron found something unusual in the picture this woman posted on f2f.
This woman's husband is actually with Happy, Stark's personal security chief.
In the picture, Happy was talking to someone else, but most of his face happened to be visible from over the man's shoulders, and the polyhedron system immediately recognized him.
The current polyhedron system is not perfect, and Luke doesn't dare to launch a certain prism or something at the beginning. That is the cake of the relevant departments, and he doesn't want to touch it.
The polyhedron system currently only conducts big data analysis on public information stored on the mobile phone company's f2f and some network communication records to obtain intelligence.
Many times the intelligence is there, it just needs eyes to discover it.
The polyhedron is these eyes.
Happy is Stark's personal security chief and is only responsible to Tony. Basically, wherever Tony goes, Happy will be there.
In his previous life, Luke had a deep memory of a playboy who transformed into Iron Man. He had set up certain specific situations in the polyhedron system early on, and when the conditions were met, reminders would be automatically issued.
Tony + Afghanistan is one of them.
When Luke saw the news for the first time, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He immediately put down the work in his hands and personally mobilized the intelligent program to conduct a more in-depth and accurate analysis.
Tony's itinerary and purpose are difficult to find, but with the specific location of Afghanistan, it is not difficult to find.
Tony is not an invisible man, but the richest and most famous playboy in the world.
There are a lot of American soldiers in Afghanistan, and there are always some who will ignore the confidentiality regulations and leak something.
Soon, Luke found some messages on the Internet.
The identity claimed by the speaker is something like "the brother of the girlfriend of my second cousin's husband's younger brother's classmate", which is the most gossip-inducing piece of information.
Apart from a few ridicules, no one took their words seriously.
As Luke looked at this information, the uneasy feeling in his heart grew stronger.
(In the last chapter, a book friend said that everyone is too familiar with the Iron Man plot. I thought so too, so I removed some common plots that everyone is familiar with. Book friends who have read chapter 824 this morning and cannot continue to chapter 825 can download it again and read it. I am very sorry for the trouble caused to everyone.)
