Africa¡¯s dry climate makes dust a bit choking. Lin Rui and others did not take the main road, but chose the nearest desert to cross all the way. The rugged desert made their dozens of broken trucks bumpy along the way, and many people on board almost vomited.
The acrid smell of dust, vomit, and blood after injury spread in the car. Just like that, there weren't enough vehicles to transport them all. Only some people can go first by car, and those behind can walk behind. Wait for the convoy in front to deliver the people to the designated location, and then come back to pick up the people behind, alternating back and forth. And the spacing should not be too different, lest some people encounter the enemy and be unable to rescue them. The spacing cannot be too small, otherwise the effect of long-distance leap forward will not be achieved.
However, this is already the best compromise they can come up with. Fortunately, these African soldiers are not good at anything else, but they can indeed run. Although they are all as skinny as monkeys, they have great physical endurance. On the one hand, it has to do with their natural physique and tradition.
Lin Rui once saw a hunter from an African tribe kill an antelope. The strange thing is that the antelope stood there motionless, and the black man behind him calmly pulled out his spear and javelin and started hunting. The antelope did not run away after being shot through with a javelin. After asking later, I found out that the black hunter had been chasing the antelope for a whole day, and when he was hunting, the antelope could no longer run at all.
This also shows that these black people born and raised in Africa are almost all good runners.
The car swayed and stopped. Lin Rui looked at the GPS and turned around and said, "What's going on? We haven't arrived at the scheduled location yet. Why did we stop here?"
Peng Lefeng whispered, "It's Cobain's arrangement. Our front team must stay here for half an hour to avoid us hitting the troops in Red Rock Town. We must stagger our positions with them. So we use this interval to let the team go back to pick up the troops." Brothers in the back."
Lin Rui nodded, "Okay, let everyone get out of the car. Let the vehicles go back, let's take a rest and move on. Our time is very tight."
"Understood, I will bring the brothers from behind." Peng Lefeng nodded.
"Everyone, please move your hands and feet. I know that the brothers are very tired, but we must not sleep." Jiang'an pulled a soldier up from the ground. "We still have a lot of things to do, and we must stay awake. Get up, let's continue. On our way."
Lin Rui whispered, "What's going on?"
"These soldiers are too tired." Jiang An whispered, "We can't let them sleep. Once they fall asleep, the morale aroused by the previous few battles will fall to the bottom."
"Then don't let them sleep, and order them all to get out of the car and move forward on foot." Lin Rui whispered. "If you drive, you may encounter enemy troops, but if you walk, you can stagger their marching route. Everyone get up and keep walking."
Jiang An nodded and ordered to continue walking. These mercenaries and government troops were very tired, but they still continued to advance in the night.
"Tell them that as long as they arrive on time, we will rest outside Hongshi Town for half an hour. But they have to keep walking for me now." Lin Rui said loudly.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, the excitement of winning the battle has long passed, and everyone begins to turn from fatigue to deep fatigue.
After 2 o'clock in the morning, waves of sleepiness kept coming to everyone. The team was walking, and suddenly there was no sound. Some people started wandering from the queue on the roadside to the middle of the road. After being discovered by others, they went up to wake him up. Only then did he realize that he had walked so far away from the main force. When people are extremely tired, it turns out that they can actually sleep while walking.
Long-term hiking not only left many people with blisters on their feet, but also caused several blisters from the soles of the feet to the heels. His shoulders were already red from being pinched by his backpack, with streaks of blood showing through them. The biggest problem is not these, but that the inner thighs of many people are rubbed red, the skin is rubbed off the back of the buttocks, and there is a dull pain every step they take. Real long-distance marches not only grind your feet, but also your crotch. This time, these African buddies have personally confirmed this.
Many people feel that they can't hold on any longer. Shogan and other mercenaries have to do some coordination, so that those with stronger physical strength can share some of the weight of the luggage for the comrades who really can't hold it, hold each other's hands, and hold each other's hands. Move forward.
¡°My legs were filled with lead but I still had to keep walking. What was even worse was that the pace of the team in front suddenly became faster when turning downhill and turning, and it took more effort to keep up. No one knows whether they have reached their limit. Even the automatic rifle and luggage weighed a total of more than 20 kilograms on the shoulders. The person who had held his head high when setting off was now bent 90 degrees by the luggage. It seemed that one more straw could crush his body.
Some people have blood-red eyes, sleepiness and fatigue, and it seems that if they stay a little longer, they won¡¯t be able to open their eyes. ?At this moment, Lin Rui looked up at his watch. The map getting closer and closer gave everyone the courage to grit their teeth and persevere for the last stretch. After walking a hundred miles, the physical strength will be exhausted, and the rest is supported by will.
The extensive use of troop carriers and helicopters has made such long-distance foot marches rarely used in modern warfare. Even in Africa, where conditions are extremely poor, these government troops have never experienced such a feeling.
Lin Rui turned around and whispered, "How long has Peng Lefeng been gone?"
"It's been almost an hour, right?" Jiang An gasped, "It should be time to come back. How long until we reach our destination?"
"The last eight kilometers." Lin Rui whispered, "Let everyone stop and wait for the convoy. If we run any further, these African guys won't be able to hold on."
Maang'an smiled bitterly and said, "I can hardly hold it anymore." When it was announced that they would stop advancing, everyone almost breathed a sigh of relief. The torture in the middle of the night finally came to an end.
"Rest where you are, you can sit for a while, but don't lie down or sleep." Lin Rui said loudly, "If you want to survive, stay awake. You must be very awake. We only have the last stretch of the road left. , in Red Rock Town will be our final destination today. It will ultimately decide whether we live or die."
He turned to look at these exhausted government soldiers and Black Island Company mercenaries, and whispered, "Remember why you are fighting. Not for General Coffey, nor for any other bullshit reasons. But for Stay alive, you know?¡±
"If it's to survive, why are we still fighting this battle? Wouldn't it be safer not to fight?" a soldier whispered.
Lin Rui smiled and said, "If you think so, then you can leave the team now. I promise not to shoot you as a deserter, because you will be killed by the rebels anyway. The rebels have been transferred by us, if We cannot capture Red Rock Town in time. Then when most of them counterattack Red Rock Town, they will kill all of us. We have no way to retreat, there is only one way, which is Red Rock Town in front of us."
