Elliot summoned the low-level officers stationed here in front of him, gave them a stern lecture, and ordered one of his second lieutenants to lead a team into the mountains to search for the remaining Malian soldiers.
¡°These Malians are very cunning, and they are also familiar with jungle warfare, so don¡¯t underestimate the enemy! Their existence seriously challenges our dignity as soldiers.
I order you to destroy them within three days. Only in this way can more enemies be frightened! Can I trust you? "
After giving the order, Elliot walked up to the second lieutenant and gave him solemn instructions.
"Yes, sir! These Malian troops just took advantage of our mentality of underestimating the enemy, so they won a few small victories! Please rest assured, sir, I will definitely wipe them out as soon as possible.
This is a warning to those damn Malians. "The second lieutenant said confidently.
"Okay! I believe you can do it! Let's go now! Go and kill those damn remnants!" Elliot nodded to his men.
Then he asked about one hundred and fifty armed men to form a search team, led by two second lieutenants, and merged with a dozen local guerrillas waiting for them outside, and immediately drove out of the camp with a roar. They drove towards the jungle on the east side of the road and quickly dispersed into four small groups.
Under the leadership of the Tuareg guerrillas, they separately rushed to the area where the Malian army had been active in the past two days and began to launch a dragnet-style search in that area.
But not long after they left the camp, several people wearing Malian military uniforms swaggered across the road to the north of the camp and came to the jungle on the west side of the road.
"Mr. Rick, the enemy was really fooled! They really sent more than a hundred troops to the east to search for us! Hehe!" Anker whispered to Lin Rui, unable to hide his excitement.
"That's right! The boss is the boss. These guys never imagined that we are actually planning their camp now!" Sausage quickly followed Anker and flattered Lin Rui very wisely.
Lin Rui felt somewhat proud in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.
When they crossed the road and entered the jungle on the west side, they did not stay away from the road, but chose a place not far from the camp of Tuareg militants to stop.
The troops hid in a jungle. They all followed Lin Rui's request to hide nearby, and after arranging to take turns on guard duty, they began to relax and rest completely.
Especially Anker's people. In the past two days, they crossed the highway and sneaked into the jungle on the east side of the highway to ambush the Tuareg search team. For two days, they were always in a high degree of tension and were constantly in danger. exercise.
Although the results were good, it was very draining on their mental and physical strength.
Even though they rested all night and ate some food last night, their current condition is not good. If it weren't for the tight time and couldn't delay too long, Lin Rui would definitely let the two of them rest for two more days to recover. .
So now, they all urgently need to take a rest, otherwise they will not have the energy and physical strength to cope with the next actions.
But almost all the Malian soldiers and officers could not sleep. They were in a state of excitement, always thinking about the upcoming action, tossing and turning on the ground, and they were also a little nervous.
Only those mercenaries spread their raincoats on the ground as moisture-proof mats and lay down to sleep.
Anker looked at them speechless and didn't understand why these people were so big-hearted. Just rest near the enemy's camp. Moreover, enemy patrols are still searching around outside.
Lin Rui looked at him and said, "Usually after we take on a mission, especially before we prepare to take action, we often take all the time to relax.
The same goes for you. What you need most now is not to think about the next action, but to completely relax and adjust your mental and physical strength to the best condition!
The action plan has been formulated, so the next step is to execute it according to the plan! There are many unexpected things that may happen on the battlefield, but you don¡¯t have to think about these emergencies!
When the time comes, just adapt to the situation! As for whether it will succeed or not, this is not something we should consider now. This is called planning and success depends on God! No use even thinking about it!
So what you have to do now is don¡¯t think about anything, don¡¯t do anything, eat and drink enough, and then have a good sleep! "
Lin Rui lay on the ground with his rifle under his head
So does Eric, hisThere were not many, no more than forty people at most, and there were only about thirty people left!
This shows that there are only about 300 people in the barracks at most, and this also includes people from the headquarters. This is better than I originally expected!
We changed posts every two hours, but no hidden sentries were found. They were all open posts. This shows that the Tuareg militants did not expect that we would attack here!
So we should be lucky this time, don¡¯t worry too much! I will act according to my original plan for a while. "
Anker and several Malian officers nodded quickly.
¡°I repeat, Anker and your people, you stay outside and set up a shooting position on the west side of the enemy camp. I will choose a place for you in a while, and you should be ready to meet us!
Once we are withdrawing and are pursued by the enemy, you must try your best to suppress the enemy and cover our withdrawal!
Sausage, Kuai Ma, Black Mamba, and the rest of you, follow me in. Don¡¯t act without authorization after entering. Follow me and follow my orders! Don't make a sound! Use gestures as much as possible!
Anker, the same goes for those of you who stayed outside to take care of us. I have taught you gestures these past few days! You won't forget it, right?
Furthermore, after entering, our first task is to find the enemy headquarters as soon as possible, and the second is to kill the commander of their rear headquarters.
Finally, if we are lucky, we can destroy the materials stored here as much as possible!
Especially weapons and ammunition, if they don¡¯t have time to transport them away, they can¡¯t leave them for the enemy!
After these Tuareg people occupied this place, they only renovated the original fortifications and did not add any new ones.
So we will sneak in from the northwest corner! Don't make any inappropriate noises, remember? Lin Rui whispered.
Everyone hurriedly nodded in agreement. Lin Rui had discussed this plan with them in advance. They have recited it silently in their hearts countless times today, and now they can say that they know it by heart, so they don't have any objections.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Anker bared his teeth and smiled at his men, and said with a smile: "It's no big deal! Those Tuareg people are not necessarily any better than us.
Remember, as long as we are bold and careful, we can give the enemy a surprise! Be a little more courageous! After we succeed this time and go back, I will take credit for you! "
When Anker said this, the Malian soldiers felt a little more relaxed. They all smiled and followed him and began to move in the direction of the enemy camp.
These Tuareg militants are indeed not very vigilant, because they focus all their attention on the east side of the highway. It was completely unexpected that Malian soldiers would dare to come and attack their battalion headquarters at this time, so the overall security was relatively lax.
Even though there are two searchlights left by the French at the checkpoint, the range of these two searchlights has a large blind spot. Lin Rui has already observed it and chose a position that cannot be swept by the searchlight as a passage for them to sneak in.
When they approached the enemy camp about three hundred meters away, they emerged from the forest and the terrain in front of them became open.
Lin Rui took Sausage, Black Mamba and others to a place where the terrain was higher and there happened to be two fallen trees. Looking towards the enemy camp from here, not only was the view good, but it was also condescending.
The fallen tree trunks are in a cross shape, forming a good bunker. By placing the machine gun here and protruding the muzzle from under the tree trunk, you can effectively control a large and wide area in front of you.
And this area was also their retreat route after they succeeded. Lin Rui had already chosen this favorable terrain just now. ¡°Eric, you bring a team of people here and get ready to shoot!
After a while, he was responsible for receiving and covering our evacuation. Others follow me. "
