Get rid of the enemy

So Lincoln and his group dragged the militants' noses, fighting and retreating in the jungle, drifting away. Lin Rui led the rest of the people to speed up and retreat in another direction.

Hearing the gunshots behind him fade away, Lin Rui stopped, took a deep look at the jungle behind him, and said in his heart: "Brothers, take care!"

After dark, Lin Rui and the others could no longer hear the gunshots in the jungle behind them. It was certain that Lincoln and the others had successfully led the shadow-like militants behind them into the distant jungle.

In such a complex terrain, as long as you miss them, it is basically impossible to find them again. After arriving here, even the Tuareg reconnaissance helicopters that have been circling over their heads are also lost at this time. trace.

Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. Following Lin Rui's order, they all found a dry place to sit down, panting heavily.

But everyone's heart was very heavy. No one felt happy because they got rid of the militants. After sitting down, they all silently looked towards the sky in the direction they came from, thinking about Lincoln's brothers in their hearts.

After panting for a while, Hobson wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked to Lin Rui, and handed Lin Rui a pot of water. Lin Rui took a few sips silently, screwed on the lid of the pot and handed it back to Hobson.

Hobson sat down and said solemnly to Lin Rui: "You soldiers are the best soldiers I have ever seen! Much better than I imagined! I pay tribute to you! You are all good!"

Lin Rui nodded and said, "It's the same with you. The reason why your combat effectiveness is poor is because Mali is too poor and backward, so Mali soldiers don't get enough weapons and ammunition, and they don't get effective training. That's why they often lose battles!"

"But most of the soldiers in Mali do not lack the spirit of sacrifice! There are countless Malian soldiers, for the sake of our motherland and national dignity, fighting on the front line with the most basic weapons and the least ammunition. And they are willing to serve our motherland Shed blood with the nation!

So they are also the best soldiers! Just feed them, give them enough weapons and ammunition, teach them how to fight, and they never lack courage! ' replied Hobson.

"As long as you give me two years to start training grassroots officers and build up the backbone of an army, your army will be very different after two years." Lin Rui whispered.

"Yes! I have also heard about the officer training plan, and I also think that the general's decision is correct. But now I have changed my view. Your strength, we can't keep up with it even if you use it for two years!

Because your people are not only trained, but survived from the battlefield. I began to understand that it is difficult to become a real soldier without seeing a soldier who has seen blood. " Hobson nodded and said with emotion.

Lin Rui did not continue to speak, but took out a piece of chocolate, broke off a piece and chewed it slowly in his mouth. After dark, the temperature in the mountains and forests began to drop.

The altitude here has exceeded 1,000 meters. Although the place where the Niger River rainforest meets, the daily temperature on the plain even in winter, the average temperature is around 20 degrees.

However, the altitude here is relatively high. When walking all the way here, the temperature at night has dropped to below ten degrees Celsius. When driving all the way, it doesn’t feel very cold, but once you stop and sweat, you will start to feel cold. It's freezing cold.

Everyone took out a sweater from their backpacks and put it under their clothes. Before they set off this time, they had already anticipated this situation and made preparations in advance. They brought a sweater as a protection against the cold. use. Even so, many people were still shivering from the cold and could only huddle together to keep warm.

Lin Rui looked at the sky, turned on the flashlight and looked at the map to confirm their current location. After closing his eyes and feeling it, he didn't have any premonition of danger, so he ordered to collect dry firewood and light the bonfire. This is the mountain range on the north side of the river valley, which is the most inhospitable place for human beings to survive. Even the Tuaregs cannot extend their claws into this vast forest, so after arriving here, just shake off Without the Tuareg trailing them behind them, they are safe for now.

Camping in such a jungle without a bonfire is very dangerous. This jungle is a paradise for wild animals. There are many pythons and poisonous snakes in the jungle, and there are many dangerous and ferocious animals. In addition, there are many other wild animals. animal.

These wild beasts are very territorial and will not be polite to any humans who invade their territory. Especially the ferocious beasts living in this area like to hunt and forage at night. If a person does not light a bonfire in the jungle at night, he will be attacked by them, so we should not be a little careless here. If you are not careful, you will die without a place to bury you.

Although these people hadn't rested for two days, and many of them were still injured, after Lin Rui gave the order, they still didn't dare to neglect, they all struggled to get up and started to act.

Soon several bonfires were lit, but they were all chosen under the dense tree canopy, so that even if a reconnaissance helicopter with militants flew over here at night, it would not be able to penetrate the dense branches and leaves and see the trees growing in the forest. These campfires.

With the bonfire lighting to keep warm, the chill of everyone was dispelled a lot. After setting up the sentry post, everyone used tree vines and the like to make a hammock for themselves, took off their shoes, and Socks were hung to dry around the campfire.

Even though it is no longer the rainy season, the jungle is still very humid. There is water in many places in the forest, which will inevitably soak the shoes and socks. It seems that this is a small problem, but it often brings big troubles to people. A little carelessness will make people lose their ability to move. Therefore, Lin Rui asked everyone to carry two pairs of clean socks as long as conditions permit. For replacement.

Whenever possible, keep your feet as dry as possible, and your body as dry as possible, especially if you are injured. This will prevent skin ulceration or wound infection.

The rainforest here is full of a large number of mosquitoes and dry leech, especially these dry leech, inhabiting the grass on the ground or on the branches and leaves of trees, waiting for animals to pass by them, when they sense humans or animals When they pass by, they will fall down one after another, adsorbing on people or animals and start sucking blood.

Along the way, they often encountered leeches falling from the trees like rain. Even though they all tightened their cuffs and trousers, they still inevitably got caught. I don't feel pain when I'm running fast, but when I stop, I have to check my whole body and remove the leeches that are sucked on my body.

Although some mercenaries have seen this kind of leech before, but there are so many leeches like today, it still makes them shudder, especially those who have been bitten by the leech, after finding the leech on their bodies, they all screamed in fright Yelling, which caused a burst of ridicule from the African soldiers in the mercenary unit.

Looking at these African soldiers, they calmly and skillfully removed the leeches, grabbed some plant ashes and applied them to the wounds, and left it alone.

One of the mercenaries didn't know how powerful he was. It was too hot to run on the road, so he unbuttoned his clothes and didn't wear leggings. After he stopped, he found that he had sucked at least ten or twenty leeches all over his body. He almost peed in his pants in fright. Quickly jumping and jumping, he took off his clothes and begged the Mali soldiers next to him to help him deal with these leeches.

After removing the leech from his body, this guy still had lingering fears, so he opened his pants to check his crotch, and found another leech somewhere, which was full of sucking, which made this guy squeak again strange scream.

Everyone was laughing. Someone deliberately teased him, roasted the locust with fire, and screamed again and again. The leech dropped it, poured some alcohol on his wound, and grabbed some salt and sprinkled it in his crotch.

This action made this disobedient mercenary miserable, he stung him straight on the ground, and as soon as everyone let go, this guy jumped up with his crotch covered, the feeling of it was so sour.

Seeing this mercenary make a fool of himself, the dull atmosphere of everyone was relieved because of thinking about Lincoln and the others. Lin Rui sighed slightly, and was also happy to see the results of this atmosphere. Now that the matter has come to this point, maintaining this dull atmosphere will only do them harm and not any good. If it is suppressed, it will only make people feel depressed, so why not Allowing everyone to relax is more conducive to their recovery of physical strength and energy.

After tossing for a while, Lin Rui asked someone to take out a bottle of lubricating engine oil, and asked everyone to get some and apply it on their bare skin. The leech dislikes this smell the most and avoids the smell of engine oil. So this can effectively repel the leech and avoid being bitten by the leech again.

Before the rest, everyone helped each other, helped the medical soldiers to treat the wounds of the wounded, debride the wounds of the wounded and change the dressings. For those with slightly more serious injuries, antibiotic injections were also given. Of course, a skin test must be done first, no Oral medicines for prevention.

Drinking water in the jungle is very important. Now the members of the mercenary unit are very conscious and never drink raw water. Apart from drinking the water flowing from the water vines directly, they only drink running water after boiling it.

In the past two days, they have almost drank all the water. Even if they were thirsty and smoked, no one ventured to drink the raw water they saw on the road, so after stopping to light the bonfire, everyone began to hang up their lunch boxes and fetch I drank the clear water from the creek in the forest, hung it on the bonfire and burned it.

After the water boiled, they poured it into the kettle and stored it, and then they drank the rest.

In this regard, the Malian soldiers did not even do as well as these mercenaries. In terms of order execution, these Malian people still seemed too loose. Today, some Malian soldiers tried to drink the forest stream on the road because they were too thirsty. The raw water taken inside.

But after being discovered by Lin Rui, he immediately slapped his kettle and kicked that guy. That guy was still unconvinced at first, and asked Lin Rui why he beat him. Lin Rui said to him coldly: "If you want to die in this jungle, then I won't care about you anymore, drink whatever you like Drink up!

In such places, there are usually a large number of animals gathering where there is a water source. And there are a large number of animals that carry various unknown viruses. And there are many viruses carried by animals that can infect humans.

Once humans are infected with those viruses, they will suffer from various fevers. Once you get sick in this place, you will die.

Not only will you die, but you will infect others with the virus.

If you want to die, I won't stop you, but let me tell you, as long as you get sick from drinking unboiled water, I will throw you away without hesitation. We will even bury you alive to prevent you from infecting others. If you want to drink, you can drink it! "

After the Mali soldier was scolded, he immediately calmed down, picked up the water bottle embarrassingly, apologized to Lin Rui again and again, endured his thirst and continued to walk forward.

Hobson also knew that Lin Rui was not someone who intentionally made things difficult for them, so he ordered several Malian officers to obey all of Lin Rui's orders, and if anyone disobeyed, they should leave immediately!

That's why the Mali soldiers became more honest. They carefully watched the actions of Lin Rui and his old subordinates along the way, and firmly remembered their actions. If they didn't understand, they licked their faces and asked. .

Regarding their questions, Lin Rui did not hide them, and gave them detailed answers, which made Hobson and the other officers admire him.

It turned out that they thought they were all officers, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com But now when they compare with Lin Rui, they realize that they are simply ignorant children in the jungle, not to mention comparing with Lin Rui, even if they are compared with Lin Rui Compared with those old subordinates, they are all at the level of just graduating from elementary school.

If they were allowed to carry out this task alone this time, not to mention whether they could complete the task of attacking the airport, even if they were asked to return to the base on foot from here, they felt that the chances of walking back alive were not high.

So in front of Lin Rui and his group of mercenaries, these Mali soldiers have thoroughly behaved and started to become obedient students. They are like curious babies along the way, constantly asking about various things, and seize the time to learn from these people. Learn from experience.

The smoke from the bonfire effectively dispelled a large number of mosquitoes, which gave them a rare night's rest in the jungle after wrapping up their clothes.

At dawn the next day, everyone's mental and physical strength recovered a lot, and under the leadership of Lin Rui, they strode forward again.

Lin Rui looked at the map again and checked the GPS coordinates. According to satellite data, they are now less than ten kilometers away from the base where they were scheduled to meet.

According to the plan, there will be a battalion of the Mali army waiting to join them.
