Fluorescent night travel

It was noon when Lin Rui and the others set off. From the temporary frontline headquarters they set up in the jungle to Gao, the straight-line distance was more than ten kilometers away.

But to reach the target location, they still have to detour. Therefore, they walked along the way while observing the terrain, constantly setting various traps, and preparing for the retreat.

As a special force, when performing a mission, in addition to achieving the combat purpose, the first thing to do is to plan the retreat route.

They are not meat buns, so after beating the dogs, they have to evacuate the target place alive. This is what a special forces commander must do.

Lin Rui has been a commander for a long time, so he still understands these things very well, so he will not make the low-level mistake of neglecting his head and ignoring his back.

When they approached the Gaotu Areg defense line, Lin Rui stopped and ordered everyone to start camouflaging, so a group of people took local materials and began to camouflage themselves, including their weapons.

In addition to making simple auspicious suits, they even made mud and smeared the barrel and body of the gun with mud, so that they would not be spotted by the enemy at night because of the reflection of the metal. And they all covered their faces with a layer of black tulle nets, so that they could minimize mosquito bites on their faces when they were lurking.

In this way, each of them was completely hidden, and even their hands were coated with anti-mosquito and leech motor oil. As long as they didn't move, even if they walked up to them, it would be difficult to find their faces. trace.

After arriving here, Lin Rui and Eric contacted by radio. At this time, Eric had already led people into the lurking place and started lurking. As soon as the time came, he could fire at any time to provide guidance for the bomber.

So he started to set off again, slowly moving towards Gao's core area with his brothers. The location of this granary is very close to the center of the Tuareg people, and there are many Tuareg positions and strongholds scattered around it, as well as other buildings hidden in the jungle.

If you want to get close to the effective range of the mortar of 1.5 kilometers, you must pass through some Tuareg positions or camps, which is very unfavorable for their actions.

As long as they are a little careless, they may be discovered by the Tuaregs in this area. If their whereabouts are exposed, it means that they will fall short, and then they will face a large number of Tuaregs.

So Lin Rui ordered that everyone must be very careful, check and fix all the equipment on their bodies, and not make any unnecessary noises.

Just as they passed through the first line of defense outside Gao, there was a Tuareg camp near the north side of the road. According to Zheng Laoshi's reconnaissance yesterday, a small team of Tuaregs was stationed here. Replenishing fuel and water for the Tuareg vehicles passing through here will not have a strong combat effectiveness, and should belong to the troops under the baggage under a certain Tuareg unit.

But the oil supply station of the Tuareg people happened to be stuck on the only way they had to pass in and out of Gao. Once they started tomorrow morning, the Tuareg people here would pose a great threat to their retreat. .

As long as the Tuaregs here delay them a little bit, they may be surrounded by Tuaregs from all directions, and then it will be a dead end.

So when Lin Rui arrived here, he made a few gestures, and a group of five people stopped immediately, nodded to Lin Rui, and then sneaked towards the Tuareg road fuel supply station. And Lin Rui gestured towards both ends of the road, and the two men immediately touched the sides. After careful observation, they confirmed that no one was found on the road, and no Tuaregs were found on both sides of the road. With a clear post and a secret whistle, he made a safe gesture to Lin Rui's direction from a distance.

Lin Rui climbed to the edge of the forest and waved his hand, and his subordinates began to run in a group of five towards the opposite side of the road. After the first group passed, they immediately let go of their guard and gestured to this side to indicate safety. Next, there were five people in a group, and soon the rest of the people crossed the road. Lin Rui waved his hand for the last time, and he and the remaining two brothers who were watching on both sides quickly crossed the road and entered the opposite side in the jungle.

But after crossing the road, they were still three kilometers away from the large grain depot. They had to move on to the target location. Nearly thirty people planted some booby traps or landmines here before moving on. For the next two kilometers, they walked more cautiously, because the jungle outside the small village of Gao had actually become the residence of the Tuareg people.

In order to prevent the reconnaissance and bombing of aircraft, the Tuareg almost hid their garrisons in the jungle, and arranged them staggered in the jungle, forming an effective layer of defense.

The Eighth Regiment itself has relatively rich experience in jungle combat, and has built a complete defensive position here. Their positions are not limited to the ground, but use many thick giant trees in the jungle to form a three-dimensional defense system. .

Because the groundwater level is relatively high all year round, the ground is not suitable for digging deep fortifications, so they developed upwards and built some positions on top of big trees.

In the Niger River Valley, there are many huge tropical trees, some of which cover an area of ​​one or two acres of land, and the hanging aerial roots form new trunks, making some big banyan trees easy to be used as outposts, or even simply Some Tuareg people live directly on the banyan tree in order to prevent moisture.

Therefore, the risk of their operation is extremely high. The biggest threat is not on the ground, but on the trees. Every step they take, they must carefully observe whether there are Tuaregs in the dense canopy of the surrounding trees. Personality exists.

Sometimes it is necessary to bypass some big trees that may be garrisoned by Tuareg people, so don't look at the straight-line distance is only one or two kilometers away, but it takes a few kilometers to go around like this.

And most of the time, they dare not stand upright and move forward, they can only move forward slowly with their waists bent, and sometimes they even crawl on the ground to avoid some Tuareg sentries.

However, for this kind of action, Lin Rui has conducted many simulation trainings in the training after the establishment of the spy company, and their camouflage is very good. Unable to detect their existence.

Therefore, after dark, they have gradually touched the Tuareg resident. When the night fell, their actions became a little safer. The night provided them with excellent cover, but it also brought them a lot of trouble.

In the dense forest, it can almost be said that they can't see their fingers. If they are not careful, they may get lost in the forest, which also adds a lot of trouble to their actions. In order to solve the problem of getting lost easily when walking in the jungle at night, Lin Rui thought of many ways to solve this problem before setting off. The Mali Army already lacks high-tech products such as night vision goggles.

Even if there are some infrared devices, they have just begun to be used in the war. They are all old models eliminated by the French. They are large and inconvenient to carry.

It was Lin Rui who managed to get a batch of active infrared night vision goggles and put them on the battlefield in Mali, and achieved pretty good results. He beat the Tuaregs who were known to be good at night battles into confusion, but they didn't know what was going on.

However, the current number is too small, and most troops are not equipped with infrared night vision devices. Therefore, it is impossible to use high technology to solve the problem of being easily lost in the jungle during night operations.

So he could only think of another way, considering using fluorescent agents or phosphors that can emit faint light at night to solve this problem, but after asking, he found that the Mali Army did not know whether there were fluorescent agents. No such thing exists.

In the end, Lin Rui had no choice but to use some fluorescent tags to solve this problem. He brought some fluorescent tags when he set off, and when it was dark, he used adhesive tape to stick the tags on everyone's backs.

This kind of label will emit green fluorescence, which is convenient but dangerous when used.

It is now the end of March and the beginning of April, and the temperature in the Niger Valley is already very high, and the air humidity in the jungle is also relatively high, but the temperature has not yet reached over 40 degrees, so they can still adapt for the time being.

When the labels are attached, these labels will emit a faint green light, and when they are pasted on the back, people walking behind can see the green fluorescence behind the people in front. With the help of these light spots, people will not easily got separated.

Moreover, these fluorescent lights will not attract too much attention from the Tuareg people, just like a firefly. Originally, there are many dead people in the Niger Valley, and some phosphorous fires often appear, so the Japanese are not surprised. It is less likely to notice the faint fluorescence behind them.

With the help of luminous tags, Lin Rui solved the problem that a group of people would easily get separated when they moved collectively in the jungle at night. He tried a few times before setting off, but the effect was so-so, so he adopted this method.

Everyone was staring at the back of the person in front, looking at the fluorescent light on the back of the person in front, file slowly through the jungle. In order to ensure that the team would not lose their way in the jungle at night, Lin Rui insisted on walking to the front of the team. With the help of the miniature compass on the luminous diving watch brought from later generations on his wrist, he kept circling around in the jungle. , leading a group of people slowly towards the destination.

Suddenly Lin Rui raised his hand to stop the steps of the brothers behind him. Everyone squatted down immediately and grabbed the guns in their hands, but no one opened the safety, because once the safety was opened at this time, the guns were in the standby state. If they are careless or overly nervous, they will cause a fire, which will not only expose their whereabouts, but may also cause self-injury or accidental injury.

Therefore, in the previous training, Lin Rui asked everyone to follow this rule. Before confirming to fire, they were not allowed to turn on the safety of the gun at night and put the gun on standby.

At this time, a bright light appeared in front of them, and everyone immediately lay on the ground. The two Tuaregs said this in a low voice, and they walked towards their position with a flashlight. While holding his nod, he was looking for something in the grass in the forest.

The brothers behind Lin Rui, including the three Mali Army liaison officers, suddenly became nervous. They all dared not show their anger, and they all grabbed the guns in their hands.

Lin Rui's heart tightened, wondering if they were discovered by the Tuaregs? Doesn't make sense? They came along the way without alarming the enemy, and the Mali army has not yet launched a counterattack. For the time being, the border area is relatively calm, with only sporadic conflicts and no large-scale exchange of fire.

This place goes deep into the Niger River Valley, and it is still heavily guarded. Even if there are sporadic mercenary contingents that will carry out harassment missions in the Niger River Valley, they are not yet bold enough to lead a group of soldiers like themselves. people, to the extent of sabotage in the core area of ​​Gao, a place heavily guarded by Tuaregs.

So the Tuaregs here should not be very vigilant now. It makes no sense to send people to do such patrol tasks at night?

Lin Rui watched the two Tuareg militants from a distance, because the light of the flashlight made it impossible for him to tell whether the two enemies had guns, so he didn't dare to move.

As the two enemies got closer and closer to them, Lin Rui found that the two militants were walking towards them, and they might be discovered at any time in the future.

Now that it was too late to retreat, Lin Rui gritted his teeth and made a few gestures to the mercenaries following him.

After seeing Lin Rui's gesture, the mercenaries of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com all replied to Lin Rui with a clear gesture.

The three of them arched their bodies slightly, pulled out their sabers from the scabbard under their shoulders and held them in their hands. The blades of their sabers are all blackened, so they won't reflect light even at night.

The two militants walked towards Lin Rui talking and laughing all the way. Lin Rui stared at the two militants, watching the two militants walk up to him, but still couldn't discover their existence.

These two people, one of them was holding a flashlight, looking for something in the grass, and holding a small bamboo pole in his hand, pulling the grass.

Lin Rui only saw at this time that neither of the two militants was carrying a gun. Now it is certain that these two guys are not on patrol, but more like looking for prey. Maybe they have set some traps in this area. It is necessary to catch some small prey and fight the tooth sacrifice.

But the two of them obviously had bad luck, so they appeared here at this time, and watched the two guys walk up to him, sweeping around with flashlights.

Lin Rui slowly stood up from the ground without a sound, and appeared behind the two militants like a demon god.
