6274 - Difficult air strike

Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and made a few gestures to the people behind him. Several capable men immediately spread out to the two wings, and with the help of trees and bushes, they bypassed the big tree of the Tuareg armed snipers. , and began to search the surrounding area, but under normal circumstances, there will not be only one person left behind for such Tuareg armed guard posts.

Often they will use teams of two or three to set up guards. There is only one Tuareg armed on this tree. This is abnormal. There must be other Tuareg armed around, so we must kill the tree The enemy sniper, you must first find other nearby enemies.

Otherwise, if you take rash action, not only will you not be able to solve the hidden sentry of the Tuareg armed forces, but it may also alarm the nearby Tuareg armed forces.

Lin Rui is experienced in this area, so he naturally does not allow such a mistake. Sure enough, after some searching, someone found a militant nearby, and another militant was squatting behind a nearby big tree to defecate, and he was still smoking, and he could smell the pungent smell from the smoke from a long distance away. .

The other militant soldier was discovered because the smell of smoke attracted one of Lin Rui's scouts, and the militant was spotted from a distance. But there are many fallen leaves in the jungle, whether walking or crawling forward, it will make a lot of noise, which will alarm the militant who is shitting.

So after he discovered the militant, he didn't dare to approach that militant easily. So he chose a militant to go back to the big tree where they set up a guard, and waited for the militant to finish smoking, grabbed a leaf and wiped his butt, then lifted his trousers and picked up his rifle , When he started to walk back, he suddenly jumped out from the bushes, and before the militant could make a sound of exclamation and warning, he stabbed him with a knife, stabbing the militant with a transparent hole on the spot.

However, his skills were not very good. When stabbing the militant to death, the militant let out an exclamation before he died, which immediately alarmed the militant on the big tree in front. The militant sniper on the big tree heard it. He turned his head cursingly, and looked towards the place where his companion made the exclamation sound.

A mercenary also acted as a scout this time. He was near the brother who killed the militants. Realizing that something bad was going to happen, he immediately squatted on the ground and shouted in fluent Berber: "There is a snake! I was killed The snake bit!" The voice imitated the tone of panic.

The militant on the tree panicked when he heard it. After they came to Mali, they often encountered all kinds of poisonous snakes when they fought in the jungle. Many people were bitten. For medical treatment, there are many people who died because of this.

His companion just went down the tree to take a shit. It is normal to encounter a poisonous snake in the forest, so he didn't doubt it. He immediately put his gun on his back and slid down from the big tree in a hurry, calling his companion in a panic. Name, let him not panic, while running towards the place where Khan screamed.

This time he was out of luck. He just passed by a big tree, and behind the big tree, something like a ball of hairy grass flashed out, and grabbed the militant by the neck. Only then did the militant realize When he met the enemy, he was about to struggle and resist, his heart ached, he looked down, and a bayonet pierced through his chest, and the blade of the bayonet almost completely sank into his heart.

The militant stared at the colorfully painted face in front of him, his eyes were full of horror and pain, his hands weakly scratched the arm and shoulder of the enemy who stabbed him, his body gradually weakened, and he knelt on the ground. on the ground.

The scout twisted the handle hard, and then pulled out the bayonet. He turned sideways to avoid the blood spurting from the militant's chest wound, and threw the militant to the ground as soon as he let go. Molecule lay face down on the ground without saying a word, his feet twitched slightly, and after a while he didn't move at all.

After the surrounding scouts searched the surrounding woods, they sent out safety signals one after another. Lin Rui then led people to surround them. Everyone looked at the bodies of the two militants on the ground and secretly cried out that it was dangerous.

If the mercenary hadn't been vigilant enough today, they would definitely be spotted by the two militants when they walked through the woods like this. Who would have become the souls of the militants' guns, and they might die without knowing how. It is finally safe now, the secret sentries of the two militants have been killed, and they were not allowed to shoot, so their whereabouts have not been exposed.

The mercenary who was the first to do it smiled and thanked his teammates repeatedly, but was scolded by the mercenary.

Now that mercenary is at the rank of squad leader. His identity is a Berber translator and messenger. He is not a big official but has a high status. In front of him, the general squad leader can only be reprimanded by him, let alone an ordinary soldier. .

So he is very awesome now, with a very hanging look, and he will never feel inferior or be looked down upon because he is a black man. In addition, he has been with Lin Rui for a long time, and he has learned from Lin Rui A lot of craftsmanship, and a lot of private goods from Lin Rui, and the current tactical level is definitely top-notch in the spy company.

Moreover, this guy has also learned a lot of fighting skills from Lin Rui. Even if it is a fight, most people are no match for him. Therefore, no one dares to disrespect him when he reprimands ordinary soldiers.

The army is a place that pays attention to seniority and strict hierarchy. Usually, it’s okay for everyone to hang out and talk and laugh. But veterans and officers must have their absolute authority. Otherwise, it’s not big or small. A good team.

Especially on the battlefield, recruits had to absolutely obey the command of their superiors or veterans. It was commonplace to be reprimanded for mistakes, and even being beaten was very normal. This would not change in any era.

With this episode, everyone became more cautious. After disposing of the bodies of the two militants, they continued to sneak towards the enemy camp.

The infiltration this time was actually not as easy as Lin Rui thought. Although the Tuareg frontline commander ordered a large number of troops to chase and hunt down the enemies who attacked them, he learned from a fall and strengthened the security around the camp. The level of alert, in the case of lack of personnel, still sent a lot of guards around.

This caused a lot of trouble for Lin Rui and his group, making their infiltration operation very dangerous and difficult, and a lot of time wasted along the way. They walked for a day in just a few kilometers. In some places, it is really impossible to touch the enemy's sentries, so they can only try to bypass them as much as possible, so they took a lot of detours.

Moreover, they have to keep remembering the enemy's dark sentries they found along the way, and when they retreat successfully, they have to be careful to be intercepted by these enemy's dark sentries along the way, which makes them unable to speed up as fast as they want.

The original plan was to arrive in the afternoon, but it turned out that they walked to the middle of the night in a daze before they touched the vicinity of the enemy camp. Even when they got near the camp, they didn't rest, and immediately sent several scouting teams to the surrounding area to start scouting, looking for the most valuable targets.

Even though they had already come once and captured the prisoners for interrogation, Lin Rui still had the habit of making a final confirmation of the target before taking action, in case their precious action opportunities were wasted due to wrong information. .

It wasn't until after three o'clock in the morning that he finally confirmed the exact location of a large ammunition depot near the Tuareg armed forces, then turned on the radio, and began to contact Davis, asking Davis to call the rear command and dispatch The bombers came to carry out the bombing mission.

During this period of time, Lin Rui and the others took turns attacking, which made the bomber team a heavy task burden, and the bomber planes were often intercepted by the air defense near the Niger Valley, so there was no guarantee that there would be no problems.

When they were bombing yesterday, one of the bombers was hit by enemy anti-aircraft fire on the ground. Although it did not crash on the spot, it still crashed on the runway when it was struggling to fly back to land. Two crew members died on the spot. Although the others were rescued, they were all injured to varying degrees.

In addition, the engines of two bombers were damaged and needed to be replaced, so they could not move for the time being. There were also two bombers that had to be repaired for two days before continuing to attack due to failures. In the end, only three of the original five remained. It can still be dispatched, such as bombing small targets, it is okay, but like bombing important targets, it is not enough.

After all, their bombers are modified transport planes, not dive bombers. Even if they drop bombs at low altitude, the hit rate is not very satisfactory. To destroy a bridge, the bombers often have to dispatch many sorties to hit the target, destroy a factory, and even more. Only one bomber can guarantee effective and complete destruction.

At present, the Mali army does not have high-tech weapons such as precision-guided bombs. Free-fall bombs have such precision, and no one has a better way.

Therefore, in order to ensure the accuracy of the bombing, they can only use low-altitude bombing. In this way, they are greatly threatened by ground anti-aircraft artillery fire. Although they succeeded in this bombing, the problems caused by ultra-low-altitude bombing have also been exposed. When the ground anti-aircraft artillery fire was not violent, the engine of a bomber was hit by a ground machine gun and caught fire.

Although the pilot finally insisted on flying the injured plane back, it crashed at the end of the runway during an emergency landing, killing or injuring five crew members.

The engines of the other two bombers were hit by ground artillery fire during the bombing a few days ago. However, the engines were not turned off at that time, and they had to be replaced after returning.

Such a bombing operation is also a high-risk combat operation for the bomber fleet, because the risks of low-altitude bombing and high-altitude bombing are completely different.

After receiving the call from Davis, the bomber crew on standby at Liedo Airport was immediately awakened from sleep, and the pilots and crew members quickly rushed to their respective planes. The plane was refueled, the truck loaded with bombs also drove to the runway, and the ground crew began to reload the plane with howls.

It didn't take long for the bombers to start their engines rumblingly, slid into the runway, began to speed up the taxi, and then left the ground clumsily one by one, and began to climb.

However, when taking off, there was still an accident on one plane. The engine could not reach full power during taxiing, so that the plane could not reach the take-off speed. In the end, although it braked urgently, it still rushed out of the runway at the end of the runway and stuck in the air. On the soft ground, with a big top, the nose of the machine was crushed.

The ground staff at the airport were so frightened that they swarmed away with fire trucks, desperately dragging the crew members out. Fortunately, feeling that something was wrong, all the crew members hid in the rear of the fuselage, except for the pilot and the co-pilot. Except for the crew member who was injured, the other crew members were fine, but they were all bruised and swollen.

And because the plane was rescued in a timely manner after taking the big top, there was no fire. Otherwise, all the crew members would be finished.

After the plane was leveled by the crane, after inspection, the nose part was severely damaged, one of the engines was scrapped, and one wing was also injured. Although it is not completely scrapped, it still needs to be sent for overhaul. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com For a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to rejoin the battle.

Even in this case, the remaining aircraft continued to be forcibly released. Because Lin Rui called the bomber late this time, and because of an accident, it was already 4:30 in the morning after the bomber took off. The commander decided not to make a detour, but to fly straight at full speed.

It is more dangerous to do so, because the recent frequent activities of Malian army bombers in the Niger River Valley has aroused the vigilance of the Tuareg. Around the Niger Valley. It started to take off at dawn every day, patrolling along the Naga Mountains, trying to prevent bombers from Mali from entering the Niger Valley to bomb the Eighth Regiment's defense line.

Therefore, the major's decision this time requires taking a lot of risks. If they are a little unlucky, they may encounter patrolling enemy anti-aircraft fire at dawn, so this bombing operation is very important for their bomber fleet. , is also an adventure and challenge.

However, the major has established a relatively good relationship with Lin Rui after being in contact with Lin Rui during this period of time, and personally watching the operation drill of the secret service company. He also knows that the missions of these ground troops led by Lin Rui are risky. Bigger than their bomber crew members. So opportunities are rarer.
