When Lin Rui reached a place about three kilometers away from the road, he ordered to stop advancing and ordered Sausage and Fast Horse to stay in his place to take care of the large army. And he took Sergei, Black Mamba and others with him and sneaked towards the road.
The road Lin Rui took was a small mountain pass. After leaving here, crossing the road, there was another large dense jungle not far away.
According to Lin Rui¡¯s plan, they crossed the highway from here and headed west to the Niger River, waiting for an opportunity to return for a sneak attack.
But when Lin Rui led people to the road, climbed to a high ground, and looked at the road with binoculars under the cover of the trees, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Just outside this mountain pass, a group of Tuareg armed forces had actually arrived and built a blockade along the road.
They built machine gun fortifications in several places on the east side of the highway. Their firing range controlled the entire mountain pass and extended to both wings, completely blocking the mountain pass.
The number of Tuareg armed forces is at least more than a full company, that is, there are sixty or seventy people. In addition, it seems that there are some local Tuareg guerrillas assisting the Tuareg armed forces in setting up defenses. There are about thirty or forty people in total, so things are getting a little troublesome now!
Lin Rui observed with a telescope for a long time, but he was still unable to find a suitable assault point from the defense line deployed by the militants to break through this line of defense.
The Tuareg armed officer stationed here must be an experienced guy. The machine gun position he chose is tricky, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the shooting range is very good. They can form cross fire with each other, regardless of attacking anyone. Every point will be covered by nearby machine guns.
Therefore, if you want to forcefully break through this line of defense, you must take human lives, and it is not certain whether you can break through!
At the same time, the Tuareg armed machine gun position is still a good warning point. Each other can see each other. There is basically no blind spot in the observation of the forest edge in this area. Even at night, as long as at a few key points, If you light some bonfires somewhere, you can lock this mountain pass very well, making it impossible for people to sneak through this blockade at night.
Lin Rui watched for a long time, and could only put down the telescope sullenly, and cursed secretly. In the end, the militants got ahead and blocked the low-grade highway. Now things seemed to be in trouble.
And it seems that the Tuareg armed forces are not just guarding the mountain pass. Lin Rui also discovered that the Tuareg armed forces have sent hidden posts deep into the mountain pass.
There are also hidden sentries placed inside the mountain pass. His mercenaries are not incapable of taking out these hidden sentries.
But the problem is that once any of these secret posts are removed, the Tuareg armed forces may be alerted, causing the Tuareg armed forces to immediately strengthen their alert, and may even attract more Tuareg armed forces for reinforcements immediately, and further Mountain manhunt.
That¡¯s why Lin Rui didn¡¯t touch the secret sentinel of the militants at the entrance of the valley. After observing for a long time, he had no choice but to retreat to the valley with Xu Mingyuan and others.
"Mr. Rick, what's the situation outside?" Anker saw Lin Rui coming back, so he immediately asked him.
Lin Rui shook his head and said: "The situation is not good. The militants have sent troops to seal the mountain pass, and the layout is quite thorough. It is impossible for outsiders to sneak through here!"
"Oh? How fast are these Tuareg armed forces?" Anker said with a frown.
"Yes! I suspect that this time I encountered not only a group of Tuareg militants, but also one of my old rivals!
This group of militants seems to have expected that we would come here, and set up a blockade here in advance! There is a high possibility that they have fought against me before, and maybe they are armed men coming from the direction of the main camp for reinforcements! Lin Rui frowned and said while stroking the beard on his chin.
"Then how about we force a breakthrough?" Anker then asked.
"I have observed that the defense line of the Tuareg armed forces is quite well laid out. There are five machine gun positions, staggered on the high ground of the mountain pass, and the fortifications are quite complete, forming a good cross-fire network.
No matter which point we attack, we will be strafed by one or two machine gun positions nearby. In this case, if we attack by force, we will suffer heavy casualties, not to mention that we have limited ammunition and cannot send our brothers into the tiger's mouth!
Therefore, a strong attack may not only break through their defense line, but may also annihilate our entire army! Lin Rui continued to shake his head and said.
"Then this is troublesome! If we can't attack by force, can we get through at night?" Anker still refused to give up and continued to ask.
"I'm afraid that won't work either."They temporarily took control of the team. And he immediately led the people through the jungle quickly, heading towards the small town in the north. According to his judgment, there must be an unknown number of Tuareg armed forces stationed in that town.
Although he didn¡¯t know why the small militants stationed troops in this inconspicuous town, he thought it was still necessary to go there to conduct reconnaissance and see if there were any opportunities there.
After traveling for more than half a day, Lin Rui led Sergei and others over a not-so-high mountain ridge, and finally arrived outside a small town ten kilometers away.
Through the telescope, Lin Rui saw some Tuareg armed forces intimidating some unidentified coolies to clear the bushes in the northeast corner of the town.
They seemed to be using manpower or a few machines to cut down the forest and clear a flat land. They also had a small amount of construction equipment to level the open space, so he understood what the Tuareg armed forces wanted to do here.
¡°The militants want to build a fortress here!¡± Lin Rui said to Sergey and others beside him.
"Grandma, how could this road be built here! Why are there so many militants in this area! It turns out that these militants want to build a fortress here!" Sergey also held a telescope. Observing the situation in the town, he muttered.
"This place is less than 40 kilometers away from the Tuareg-controlled area. It takes half an hour for the militants' convoy to reach their controlled area from here, so the militants took a fancy to this place and built a fortress here. Not surprisingly!
However, the scale of this fortress is not very large. It is probably just a preliminary project of the militants!
¡°Whether it¡¯s from their rear or the troops retreating from the super camper, they can transit here and attack Gao silently. Lin Rui explained to them while observing.
"It's a pity that they haven't repaired it. Otherwise, a large number of troops would be stationed here. It would be good for us to kill them and blow up a large area of ??them!" Sergey nodded repeatedly.
¡°It¡¯s a good thing they haven¡¯t repaired it, otherwise, the patrol team here would be enough for us to drink!
¡°You haven¡¯t noticed in the past two days that Tuareg militants have started to use jeeps to wander around us. They must be searching for us and intend to kill us!
But their camp is far away now, so it is not very convenient to go back and forth, and we cannot conduct continuous reconnaissance. This gives us the opportunity to escape their search.
"If the repairs here are completed, the reconnaissance efforts of the militants will be intensified. By then, we may not even have time to hide!"
I still want to kill hundreds of militants, hum! You think too simply! ¡± Sausage sneered at Sergey¡¯s idea and poured cold water on his head.
"That's true! What you said makes sense! Then boss, what do you think we're going to do next? It looks like there are a lot of armed men stationed here, and the size of the camp looks like it's more than a company!"
"It's not a company! Look at the antenna in the camp. It's a radio station only used by militant battalion-level headquarters! As a scout, you have to pay attention to details and observe more. You are still too young!
????????????????????????????? But it seems that he is not satisfied with the formation, and the number of troops is not too many! "Lin Rui immediately corrected Sergey's error in judgment.
"Okay!" Sergey touched his nose and felt very discouraged. After all, he was not a soldier. He seemed to be unable to meet Lin Rui's requirements in these aspects, and Lin Rui could always catch his mistakes.
Lin Rui has been observing for a while, but the results are not satisfactory. The militants here are very vigilant, which may also be related to the existence of their group.
Positions were built at the construction site, including their camp, and machine guns were deployed. Many of them had heavy firepower such as heavy machine guns. In addition, he also saw two cannons in the camp, which were only owned by the Tuareg armed regiment. of firepower.
Although there are not many armed elements here, the defense is very tight and the firepower is very strong. With their current strength, there is no chance of winning in attacking here. Although Lin Rui is greedy to death when he sees that there are a lot of supplies in the camp, but if He would rather not have these supplies at a huge cost.
So after observing for a long time, Lin Rui put away the telescope, shook his head regretfully and said: "Let's go! It's heavily guarded here, we have no chance here!"
