Hellfire

As soon as they landed, a fighter jet rushed towards the watchtower, and a burst of dense bullets sprinkled on the watchtower with a whistling sound.

As a result, a brigade staff officer following Muric had no time to escape from the watchtower, and was beaten into a hornet's nest on the spot, and one end fell from the watchtower, fell to the ground with a bang, and died immediately .

Muric angrily shook off the two guards, rushed to the staff officer's side, touched his nose, then punched the ground heavily in frustration, and cursed loudly.

Since the northern suburbs airport was attacked, they have lost their most important air base in Mali. Although there are several small combat readiness airports around Gao, the facilities of those combat readiness airports are not perfect, and they lack the capabilities of fuel supply and maintenance. , can only be used for temporary stationing or alternate landing, and is not suitable for long-term stationing at all.

Therefore, the aviation army can only withdraw fighter jets and bombers to the north with relatively complete facilities, so that the Niger Valley loses its aviation protection.

Last year, the Malian planes didn't dare to break into the place so arrogantly for scouting, shooting and bombing, and they didn't dare to easily send transport planes to drop the task force, but now they are getting more and more arrogant, and they will run away every now and then. Come and disturb.

Sometimes even one or two planes dare to fly to the Niger Valley, fly along the road, and once they find a Tuareg convoy on the ground, they will dive and shoot, and even drop some small bombs, which makes their already stretched supplies , is much more difficult.

The vehicles of the transport team must be tightly camouflaged, and air defense posts must be set up along the way to provide air defense early warning. Once an enemy plane is found, the transport team on the road must be notified, and the transport team must drive into the jungle to escape.

As a result, their transportation became more and more difficult. Muric could clearly feel that in the past two months, the supplies that arrived were significantly less than the previous period, at least about 20% less.

This had a great impact on the troops of their Eighth Regiment stationed in the northwest of the Niger Valley. Originally, their material supply lines were very long, and supplies were very difficult, and now they are becoming more and more insufficient.

For this reason, the troops stationed in Gao have protested many times, asking for more supplies for them. But today's bombing made Muric's heart feel completely cold. Their largest grain storage base on the front line has now turned into a sea of ​​flames.

After waiting for the enemy plane to fly away, Muric stood up from the ground, looked at the staff officer lying at his feet, bowed slightly, and bid him farewell, then stood up straight, and began to give orders. The troops immediately rushed to the bombing site to put out the fire, and rescued as much food or artillery as possible.

But he didn't know that he made a mistake, because he didn't know what kind of bombing operation this bombing was. His order provided Lin Rui and his group with precious time to escape.

Soon Muric's order was conveyed to various Tuareg ministries by wired telephone or radio, and these Tuareg officers immediately followed the order, assembled soldiers and rushed to the grain depot or the station of the heavy artillery brigade, and launched The so-called rescue operation.

Even some Tuareg officers who had ordered soldiers to pursue Lin Rui and his group had no choice but to withdraw their orders and put the assembled troops into the fire fighting.

But is such a fire really that easy to save? Obviously this was Muric's wishful thinking. This time the bomber dropped not ordinary bombs, but incendiary bombs. Although they were not the most powerful type, the arson effect was also very powerful.

What's more, it has not yet entered the rainy season in the Niger Valley, and the jungle is relatively dry. Those Tuareg warehouses were originally built with logs. After a dry season, they are already relatively dry. Soon it will be ablaze.

At this time, the entire area around the grain depot has been burned into a sea of ​​flames, and it is impossible to get close within a few hundred meters. With the blazing flames, many big trees in the smoky jungle began to burn, which further contributed to the spread of the fire, let alone It's firefighting. If you get a little closer, you will be burned by the hot air.

Therefore, although a large number of Tuaregs rushed to the vicinity of the grain depot, they lacked fire extinguishing equipment, let alone high-pressure water guns, and even holding buckets was useless.

A large number of militants could only watch helplessly as the grain depot burned more and more vigorously in the fire, and the fire was crackling, but there was nothing they could do.

Not only that, but the fire showed signs of continuing to spread. If it continued to spread, all kinds of material warehouses around the entire camp would be threatened, so the smarter officers among these Tuaregs immediately thought that they should What to do, so he led his soldiers to cut down trees frantically, opened up a firebreak, and stopped the fire from spreading.

As for the rescue supplies, hehe! Although the Tuaregs were brave, they hadn't become superhuman, and no one would be so stupid as to plunge into the fire and carry grain bags outside.

In addition, the situation of the heavy artillery brigade was not much better. When their garrison was bombed, they also suffered heavy losses. Nearly half of the twelve heavy artillery were blown up on the spot, even if they were not blown up on the spot, It was also trapped in the forest by the fire ignited by the dropped incendiary bombs.

Originally, the Tuaregs of the Heavy Artillery Brigade still had a chance to rescue most of their cannons, but they were obviously out of luck. The tractors attached to their brigade were originally parked in the parking lot of the garrison. A small oil warehouse, in which some gasoline was stored, was dropped in the parking lot during the bombing.

The splashing flames first ignited some cars, and when the car soldiers were busy fighting the fire or rescuing the cars that hadn't caught fire, a bomb then smashed into their oil warehouse, destroying the large barrels stored in the warehouse. Gasoline exploded and flew everywhere.

These gasoline barrels were ignited one after another, and the flames and smoke from the explosions flew around, and soon ignited most of the cars in the parking lot. Although the auto soldiers tried their best to save them, these old-fashioned cars had nothing but the chassis and driving. The cabin is made of steel, and the body of the car is made of wood. Once gasoline is splashed and ignited, if you want to extinguish it, you can't extinguish it without enough fire extinguishers.

So many auto soldiers were burned like roast pigs, and they failed to **** a few cars. They were all around the parking lot, crying like their dead fathers, watching their cars turn into a whole Flames blazed, and then burned to wreckage.

Without a car, it is simply impossible to tow away the heavy artillery in the position. These heavy artillery are not their mortars. When necessary, they can be carried and run by manpower, and they are usually drawn by mules and horses. That's fine.

These heavy artillery are big guys weighing two to three tons, and they cannot be towed away by a few people at all. The tractor was burned, and these cannons could not move, so the heavy artillery brigade hurried to find mules, horses and livestock to tow the cannons , But at this time, the incendiary bombs dropped by the Mali bombers also ignited the jungle where they were.

The huge canopy used to provide them with a good shield, but now once it is ignited, it has become a nightmare for the Tuareg people. After these big trees were ignited, they were quickly dried up , the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it was crackling, and soon the Tuaregs of the heavy artillery brigade were smoked and ran away.

Some guys who ran slowly even curled their beards and hair after being roasted by the fire. Their skin was scalded and covered with large blisters, and they screamed in pain. In such a sweltering environment, once they were burned, plus The Tuareg people have a low level of medical care and lack of effective medicines, so burns will soon be infected in this sweltering environment.

What's more, this is a place where mosquitoes are rampant. Healthy people often have skin inflammation and ulceration caused by mosquito bites, not to mention people who have been severely burned. It won't take long for these scalded militants to develop wounds due to wound infection. He died of sepsis.

So even though some cannons were not blown up, the Tuaregs of the Heavy Artillery Brigade were forced out of their garrison by the fire and fled in all directions, let alone rescue their cannons.

They only temporarily rescued a small amount of ammunition stored in the resident ammunition depot, but as the fire spread, they had to give up even the ammunition depot. After a while, the fire spread to their ammunition depot, and soon ignited the shells in the ammunition depot, only to hear a burst of explosions that shook the mountains, countless shells were blasted into the sky, and the ammunition that died It completely destroyed the entire station.

The scattered shells drove the Tuaregs of the Heavy Artillery Brigade to run wildly, scurrying around with their heads in their arms, avoiding these flying ammunition far away. When the reinforcements sent by Muric arrived, it was already out of control, and the entire heavy artillery brigade's garrison was also caught in a sea of ​​flames, and it was no longer possible to fight.

The twelve heavy cannons were all buried in the sea of ​​flames. Even if they were not completely burned, the parts of the cannons burned at high temperature would be deformed, their strength would be reduced, and they would eventually be completely scrapped, especially the aiming devices on the cannons. It was completely burned, and without the sight, even if the cannon could barely be used, it became blind.

It was not until this time that Muric received the news from his subordinates, saying that the reason why the enemy was able to find their grain depot and heavy artillery station in the jungle so accurately this time was that an enemy ground force sneaked into the forest. Got around.

These enemy troops on the ground carried light mortars and used smoke bombs to bombard the grain depots and heavy artillery brigade first, and used the thick smoke from the smoke bombs to provide target indication for the bombers in the air, which led to the bombers accurately approaching Bombs were dropped on the grain depot and the heavy artillery garrison, which eventually led to the complete destruction of the grain depot and the heavy artillery garrison.

As soon as Muric heard this, he jumped up. He didn't understand until now why today's bombers were so accurate, and he was able to directly select these two important targets in the air and drop bombs accurately.

"Damn it! Where are those **** ground enemies now?" Muric yelled angrily in his brigade headquarters.

"Report! After the bombing started, these ground enemies broke through immediately. Although they were intercepted by some of our troops, they had strong firepower. Our intercepted troops suffered great losses. They finally broke out of the encirclement and fled to In the jungle on the north side of the road!" A squadron leader stood in front of Muric with his head bowed, and replied to Muric.

Muric was so angry that he was like a caged animal. He ran around the house, turned around and roared, "Send someone to chase them! No matter who they are, I will kill them all!

I want to see people alive, and I want to see their corpses when I die! "

After Muric's order was conveyed, hundreds of Tuaregs and Tuaregs from the Heavy Artillery Brigade were sent into the jungle north of Varuban, and began to launch a net-like raid on the jungle in this area. Manhunt.

But it was too late for Muric to understand. When he gave the order to hunt down Lin Rui and his gang, Lin Rui had already led his men into the depths of the dense forest.

After several hours of fierce fighting and rapid marching, they finally left the Tuaregs chasing them behind them, retreated several kilometers deep in the jungle, and finally stopped.

Everyone was as if they had just been fished out of the water. Their bodies were soaked in sweat, and they were all tired and out of breath. Now they finally understood when Lin Rui started the special training for them~www .wuxiahere.com~Why are they forced to carry out long-distance marching training in the jungle every day?

If Lin Rui hadn't forced them to carry out such cruel training, I'm afraid none of them would have been able to run here today, and they would have been completely exhausted halfway.

Although they carried out the mission this time, they reduced their burden a lot and only carried food and fresh water for one day, but each of them still carried a lot of ammunition. Even though the ammunition was consumed a lot after the fierce battle, which relieved their burden, their physical strength was also greatly consumed.

Along the way, they have to maintain a high degree of tension, constantly fighting fiercely with the enemies they encounter.

In the past two days, they have used almost all the things they learned during the special training. They have used almost all subjects such as lurking, camouflage, long-distance raids, assault operations, and cooperative tactics.

If Lin Rui hadn't trained them so cruelly back then, each of them today thought that it would be impossible for them to escape alive. So now they finally fully understood the purpose of training them so coldly during the special training period.

The only purpose of training them is to allow them to survive as much as possible in such a battle. They insisted on training at the beginning, and now they have finally received rewards.
