Azam, the supreme commander of the Tuareg Liberation Organization, was also very angry and immediately sent a message to Adil to scold him.
Ordered them to postpone the attack on Gao for a while, but also to deploy troops to hunt down these remaining Malian soldiers. After all, the position they are currently in is too critical and the timing is too sensitive.
At the same time, contact the reinforcements that have been stationed in the temporary camp and ask them to dispatch reconnaissance troops to assist in the search for this group of Malian troops.
Adil certainly knew the seriousness of the matter. Although the incident did not occur where he was directly in charge, the defenders involved in the incident were part of his unit, and he also bears unshirkable responsibility.
And this rear camp is located in the jungle along the Niger River. It used to be a very small town, and its translated name was also called Tataman, but it was not a very important place.
The reason why the Tuareg armed forces stationed a brigade here is because the French discovered a copper mine in this area a few years ago and prepared to mine the copper mine here, and built a simple road leading here.
In order to control this area, an infantry battalion composed of Malians was stationed here. In fact, it only had less than two companies of troops. But many years have passed.
In the 1990s, after exploration, it was discovered that the copper reserves here had been exhausted, so mining had been abandoned long ago.
After the French decided to withdraw from Mali, they withdrew the battalion here, and all the officers and soldiers evacuated to the south.
But the local Tuareg guerrillas took over. The reason why the Tuareg armed forces are interested here is that this place is relatively hidden. In addition to a road connecting here, you can also take mountain roads from here to areas further north.
Some Malian troops once passed through here when they were retreating. After the Tuareg armed forces pursued here, they felt that a frontline headquarters could be built here. From here to the north to the areas controlled by the Tuareg, there were only less than A distance of one hundred kilometers.
After the Tuareg armed forces are stationed here, they can quickly launch a surprise attack on the Malian army stationed in Gao, and can also play a role in containing several large camps of the Malian army in the surrounding areas.
So after Azam went south, he stationed his three companies and built temporary barracks and outpost headquarters here.
And the news that this place was attacked naturally quickly reached Azam, and Chief Azam was furious.
After Adil was beaten and scolded, he was also surprised, because the three squadrons stationed were the troops under his command. The combat missions in this large area are temporarily under his responsibility.
Of course he knew that this location was an important strategic location. Now that the camp was attacked, all the Malian prisoners of war held in the camp escaped. These people originally planned to get his camp first and let them build a fortress for themselves.
But now all the more than a hundred prisoners of war have escaped. Even if they were intercepted and shot dozens of prisoners of war, the rest have disappeared. What's more, the combat capabilities of this group of Malian soldiers are unusual, and this will cause trouble. It's relatively big.
You must know that after the Tuareg armed forces moved south, although they have now achieved a complete victory, there have not been many fierce battles.
This shows that the Malian troops did not suffer much losses. If they were to reinforce this place, it would probably be a big trouble.
After the news reached the frontline headquarters, the frontline commander Adil took it seriously and ordered to guard the camp and try to eliminate the remaining Malian soldiers.
Now the rear headquarters is attacked by a group of unidentified Malian troops, and this time he, the commander, will also take the blame.
So he did not dare to neglect, and immediately mobilized another company's troops from the limited troops at hand, and began searching and setting up defenses from their station to the north.
Because according to Adil's judgment, after a successful attack by the Malian army, it is very likely that this group of Malian troops will flee towards the direction of the Malian army's super camp.
His only chance was to block the highway before they could escape, block them northeast of the highway, and eliminate them.
¡°Otherwise, there are big trees and deep forests to the south of the highway. Once this group of Malian troops are allowed to escape to the east of the highway and get into the large jungle, things will be completely troublesome.
Not to mention his current strength, even if he gets another company of troops, he dare not say that he can capture these Malians.
So he immediately ordered troops to be deployed along the highway for defense. At the same time, he also mobilized some of the local Tuareg people who had surrendered to them to join the ranks of searching and setting up defenses along the highway, in order to capture these remaining Malian soldiers as soon as possible.
&nAt that time, everyone was still a little nervous, and no one dared to try it easily, so no one was found drinking raw water or secretly eating raw food. However, at noon the next day, Lin Rui, who was leading the way, heard someone quarreling behind them.
Anker also angrily turned around and found the place where the quarrel was taking place with a few of his followers. Lin Rui also followed.
I happened to see a black man and several prisoners of war arguing angrily with several other Malian soldiers and swearing.
Lin Rui walked into the crowd with a cold face, and everyone saw Lin Rui and Anker coming. The Malian soldiers immediately saluted them, pointed at the two prisoners of war brought by the black man, and complained to Anker: "Sir, these two people violated health regulations and stole a can from the logistics team. A piece of bacon.
You said these things were only allowed to be given to the wounded, but they ate them secretly! I found them and they tried to intimidate me!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We just discovered that some of them ate raw meat. When we told them, they not only didn¡¯t listen, but also cursed them. I still want to hit someone! "
When Lin Rui heard this, he turned to look at the two girls, his eyes as cold as ice. With just one glance, the two guys who were smiling playfully shrank their necks, put away their cynical posture, and looked towards Yu De Shrink behind you.
"You all heard it too, is what he said true?" Lin Rui asked the two guys in a cold voice.
A black man swallowed his saliva, scratched his neck and said: "We are all starving to death in the prisoner of war camp. We have only eaten those messy things for the past two days. How can we bear it?
Since there is food, why can¡¯t we eat? We just ate a small piece of bacon from a can, so what could happen? "
Lin Rui glanced at the black man and the prisoners of war beside him, ignored the guy, and then asked: "Who else was eating with you just now?"
A black man looked at Lin Rui and said angrily: "Oh! It turns out to be Mr. Rick! Trident mercenary, no wonder he is so powerful! It turns out he eats better than us.
hey-hey! I ate it just now, what happened? Mr. Rick, do you think I am as powerful as your men? "
This guy teased Lin Rui, thinking that Lin Rui was not scary. He had seen many mercenaries and felt that these mercenaries were just a little stronger and taller.
Africa has experienced a long colonial period. Black people's fear of white people is almost deep in their bones. The Rick in front of him is just an Asian with yellow skin and black hair.
So in his opinion, Lin Rui is not that scary.
¡°And people like him are not serious military officers, so there is no need to give Lin Rui too much face.
But before he finished speaking, his vision went dark, and a big fist appeared in front of him. With a bang, the rest of the guy's words were blocked in his mouth, and he felt as if he had been hit by a bull. Normally, you will feel confused when your head buzzes.
The black man grunted and flew backwards, flying two to three meters away in an extremely graceful posture before falling to the ground on his back.
The moment he landed, he rolled his eyes and fainted. One of his front teeth was knocked out on the spot, and he lost consciousness with blood foaming on his face.
Lin Rui retracted his fist, continued to look at the remaining people coldly, and said: "No matter how well some people eat, they can't change the fact that they are trash.
What I want to tell you is that my words here are orders, and no questioning is allowed.
This is what happens if you question me! Who still wants to try? "
Those black prisoners of war were all stunned.
Lin Rui looked at them and said, "Do you think that I am not your direct commander, so you don't have to respect me at all?
¡°Actually, you are right, I don¡¯t need your respect as a person. But you definitely have reason to be afraid of me.
¡°Because if a situation like today happens again, I won¡¯t speak with my fists, I will use my gun. "
