The Anmor army had long been prepared for a deadly battle in Alkahn, and built powerful fortifications with a wide depth and width along the outer positions. Beginning in the suburbs, there are small positions, shelters, bunkers and traffic trenches like spider webs everywhere. The weather was as dark as the skin color of the local soldiers. Walking in this dark night was like jumping into a chimney.
Looking at all this, Lin Rui looked helpless. The war in this small African country has completely degenerated into the trench warfare era of the last century. But there was no other way. The Anmore army was too weak. Without artillery support, they could only choose to hold on in this way. In the words of General Kadom, this is not about holding on to a city, but about holding on to the beliefs of a country and a nation. I would rather die on the battlefield than die in slavery.
But it rained, which greatly affected the trench fortifications here. The black soldiers of the Anmore Alliance Army were standing in the mud digging and draining water, and they were talking eagerly. Lin Rui couldn't understand their local dialect and had no interest in knowing what they were talking about. After some black soldiers finished their shift, they squatted in the muddy water and hugged their knees to sleep, snoring loudly. When people are tired to a certain level, even if the enemy's shells fall and fire shoots into the sky, they can't even think of interrupting their sleep.
There were also bursts of sounds coming from the shelter on the left, which was the sound coming from the radio - General Logan's speech on Independence Day. For the sake of publicity, these Anmore officers turned it into a heroic declaration. Several military propaganda teams are promoting morale to the soldiers. Soldiers need the belief to support their own operations, and officers need to rely on this to encourage soldiers to work hard. "Warriors of Anmore, victory belongs to you, victory belongs to the people!" General Logan's voice still sounded passionately on the radio.
The inspired black soldiers waved their weapons and shouted, "Resolutely complete the blocking mission!"
"Don't let the enemy take a step forward!"
"Stick to Alkane! Defend the capital!" The powerful propaganda has a brainwashing offensive like self-hypnosis, which makes the wisdom of thinking together disappear, leaving only the passionate power, which is activated. The soldiers believed, or were forced to believe, that General Logan was their hero and everything to them. In order to defend General Logan and Anmore, they were willing to spare the last drop of their blood.
Of course, if they don¡¯t believe it, that¡¯s okay. Because in addition to the propaganda team, General Kadom also established a wartime supervision team to shoot deserters.
Lin Rui stood at the intersection of the traffic ditch, looking at the dark jungle to the north. He didn't feel the cold rain flowing down his neck, and a complicated emotion passed through his heart. This is war. A soldier cannot decide the direction of the war, and he can never understand why he is fighting. Lin Rui didn't know whether these ordinary black soldiers were fighting for their own independence or liberation, or whether they were working for General Logan personally.
He is just a mercenary who works for money. To him, it's just a job.
Lin Rui left the forefront position and walked to the left, where he met General An, the actuary who had just inspected the position.
"Just finished their work, I suggested that they reinforce the position on the north side." Jiang An said, and Lin Rui walked forward along the serpentine traffic trench.
They walked a hundred meters to the left and then stopped, facing the darkness and drizzle, staring at the enemy position to the north, silently. The wind blowing from outside the trench blew up their clothes. The two of them couldn't see anything at all except for the sporadic firelight on the other side, but they still watched motionless.
The black men of the propaganda team played loud music and shouted at the top of their lungs, "We will not squat in the fortifications and be beaten. We will take the initiative to counterattack the enemy during the defense. During the counterattack, the enemy's artillery fire was fierce and the shells exploded heartbreakingly. But Our soldiers will not lie down. As long as you remember determination, oath, and honor! Soldiers will be more courageous when they hear General Logan's voice."
Lin Rui turned his head in disgust and said, "The enemy crossed the river this afternoon. What are they doing now?" After a pause, he thought about it and said, "Actuary, what are you thinking about?"
Jiang'an replied carelessly: "I don't think about anything. This is a terrible place. I don't know if we will die here."
Suddenly, Lin Rui and I heard a hissing sound, and the two of them lay down in a habitual and alert manner. A heavy mortar shell exploded not far from the position, and the flames broke through the dark night sky.
They walked along an electric light-shaped traffic trench to the front of the left wing position. Jumping over a small ditch here is the enemy position. The night is getting deeper and the sky is getting darker. Sometimes, one or two red and green flares pierced the dark sky, and sparse gunshots broke the tranquility of the night. Lin Rui's expression changed slightly, "That's not right!"
"What's wrong?" Jiang An frowned.
"The secret society has satellite communication equipment just like our headquarters. There is no need for them to use this kind of information.Method of contact. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "This is a trap, a feint attack." "
There was no sound, people were listening attentively. The wind blew in waves, and there were violent gunshots in the ravine far ahead on the right.
Jiang Angan jumped into the fortification and talked with a second lieutenant Anmol. He asked the second lieutenant in a low voice: "Is there any movement on the other side?"
"The enemy is probably sleeping. There is no movement." the second lieutenant replied.
Lin Rui frowned and asked, "Didn't you shoot just now?"
An Anmor soldier pointed straight ahead and said: "Just now, a few shots were fired from the position over there. The enemy only fired five signal flares. They often bluff like this."
"How far is it?" Lin Rui shouted.
"Seven or eight hundred meters away, maybe further." The Anmore black warrior replied.
Jiang An stood straight beside the fortifications with his hands behind his back, frowning and saying nothing.
An Anmor soldier said: "At eleven o'clock, the enemy keeps attacking blindly. Come and stand in my bunker and observe." He jumped out of the single bunker. Lin Rui raised the binoculars, looked ahead, and said. "You should pay attention to observation, and also find out the location of friendly forces and the scope of your warning." He thought for a while, and then said: "The warning must be extended further forward!"
Second Lieutenant Anmol, who was leading the squad, nodded and said, "A team has already stretched out from the front." There were indeed several soldiers lying in the bunker, staring ahead with guns in hand.
"The officers have inspected the fortifications just now. They are working very well: they are very solid and can exert firepower." the second lieutenant explained.
Lin Rui turned to Jiang An and said, "Is the person in charge of that position one of ours?"
"Black Panther Gulei's troops." Jiang An said solemnly, "Would you like to go over and have a look?"
"If you don't want to stay at the Anmol Army's headquarters, I'll go over and check out the situation." Lin Rui thought for a while and whispered, "Be careful."
"Understood." Jiang An nodded.
