Operation Lost Men

Chapter 1

"5 Minutes ETA"
"Ready up!"
The soldiers instantaneously checked their weapons, parachutes and bags, before standing up in the Mil Mi-17. 2 of these Soviet developed helicopters were flying parallel to each other, with a combined total of 25 operators bundled into each.
8 Thai soldiers from the 1st Special Regiment.
10 Chinese from the Special Operations Force.
7 Cambodians from the 911th Special Forces Regiment.

In the terrorists lair
"The hell is that?!"
"We've got company!"
"Tell command."
"Yes sir!"
The man who was wrapped in a scarfe instantly reached unit his pocket and retrieved a phone before calling the command centre.

In a cave 250 metres away a man in military head camo answered the phone.
"Yes?"
"We have company. 2 helis about 2 miles out."
"Can we shoot them down?"
"Yes."
"The what are you bloody waiting for?"
He hung up and a few moments later an ear piercing sound of 4 rockets being launched filled the air. A psychopathic smile appeared on the commanders face.

On the helicopter
The sound of a rocket surrounded them before a second later. The blast ruptured the side of the steel Heli, sending a ferocious ball of fire through the cramped space. The second rocket ricocheted of the side of the, smashing into the propeller of the other chopper and taking it clean off. The world to the soldiers was literally as if it were on fire, as if the very air itself were set alight.
"JUMP NOW!!!"
The order could barely be heard over the sound of the broken rotors and fire. Some of the men started running towards the gaping hole in the side of the aircraft, the flames licking their battle suits as they dived out. Others where not so fortunate. One of the Cambodians where being burned alive, he was pulling on the restraint that had dug into his skin and the blast of heat had melted it into him. Suddenly the entire aircraft jolted and leaned to the right. The soldiers not bound to their seats slammed into the side of the Heli, and 3 tumbled out and into the air.

The Forest
"This is operator Tiger calling into base camp Alpha, can you hear me? I repeat this is operator Tiger calling to base camp Alpha, do you hear me?"
As he pocketed his radio he saw 3 of the soldiers parachuting to the ground, they had seen him and like a eagle landing they skillfully glided towards him. They kicked up small clouds of dust as they landed on the ground, and as soon as they touched the ground they were already turning their weapons of safety and doing a quick scan of the area. Silently Tiger, a soldier who had served in the Royal Thailand Army before being transferred to Spec Ops, readied his own weapon, a FN MAG-58 and started patrolling. After 2 silent minutes the 3 Cambodians approaches Tiger and introduced themselves as Bear, Falcon and Wolf. Bear is an incredibly large man, being well over 6 foot tall and weighing almost 200 pounds of sheer muscle and he specializes in heavy weaponry. Hence the name Bear and why his weapon of choice is the Belgian-Made
Minimi M249 LMG. Falcon, is a paratrooper, just under 6 foot in height and weighing 185 pounds. He is an expert in climbing and sniping. Being a sniper he uses the Polish-Soviet made Dragunov, and having a GSH-18 pistol, also Russian. Wolf is a perfect soldier, being a well built soldier, 6 foot tall and weighing 190 pounds, he wielded a Chinese-made QBZ-03. He specializes in scouting. Tiger, Chinese, is 5 foot 7, bring shorter and weighing 175. He specialises in close combat.After introducing one another to each other the radios burst to life.
"This is Snake calling Colonel Tiger, do you hear me?"
"I hear you, where are you?"
"My GPS location is 279 metres from original drop point."
"Is anyone with you?"
"2 others, Piranha and Lion."
"Meet us at the drop point."
"Yes sir!"
Signalling the other men to follow him, they start making their way as quitley but as swiftly as possible to the drop point.
