Tuareg commander Adil could hardly believe his own eyes. He kept walking past corpses, occasionally squatting down and reaching out to test the mouths and noses of some militants, but he stood up in disappointment. Continue walking forward slowly.
The militants following the commander began to disperse into the battlefield with infinite grief and indignation. They began to lower their bodies, inspect the dead friendly troops on the ground, and search for various traces left on the battlefield.
However, not long after they entered the battlefield, they heard a roar in the forest, followed by the screams of several armed men. All the armed men hurriedly fell down, raised their guns in panic, and charged nervously. Search around for possible enemies.
But soon some militants shouted: "Everyone, be careful! There are landmines in the forest! Don't move!" Then these militants realized that they were not being attacked, but that someone had been ambushed and touched the enemy's mines. The landmines were some of the booby traps that Lin Rui had left behind that had not yet been triggered by the militants.
These armed men stood up again and became much more cautious. They once again dispersed some formations and continued searching into the forest. But before they could search for long, another armed group triggered a booby trap in the forest, and two more armed groups were injured or killed on the spot. This made the group of armed groups even more suspicious, shrinking back, and some did not dare to attack again. The forest was searched.
But the militant commander Adil seemed to be very courageous. He kept moving forward along the path in the forest with a livid face. Several armed escorts rushed to the front and began to clear the way for him, forming a crowd. wall to keep him safe.
"Sir! We have found the deputy battalion commander! But he has already" An armed man who ran to the front ran back, stood in front of the commander, and loudly reported to him. After hearing this, Adil immediately strode forward. In the middle of the broken corpses, he finally saw the body of the Tuareg deputy battalion commander.
Because this was the first person to be shot and fell, his body was preserved when the explosives planted on both sides of the road were detonated. There was basically no damage caused by the explosion. It looked cleaner, but there were some other people's body parts on it. minced meat.
Adil knelt down and looked at the deputy battalion commander¡¯s body. After looking at it from head to toe, his eyes stopped on the deputy battalion commander¡¯s forehead, where there was a bullet hole.
The bullet accurately shot into the deputy battalion commander's brain from here, and instantly turned the deputy battalion commander's brain into a ball of paste, and then passed through the back of the head. The characteristic of this bullet is that it is very stable over long distances. Therefore, it is a precise penetrating injury, and this feature is very obvious.
"Damn it! The enemy used a sniper rifle, and he was killed with one shot! This man's shooting skills were extremely accurate, and he hit the upper part of his eyebrow without any deviation! He was a very clever sniper! Very powerful!
He is a complete idiot for wearing such a pair of sunglasses! Among the entire team, he was the only one wearing such visors, which was simply seeking death! No wonder he was shot to death! Beat him to death first! "After checking the body of the deputy battalion commander, Adil stood up and said angrily.
After saying that, he kicked the incomplete sunglasses that fell on the ground far away.
The situation was basically as he expected. If the commander hadn't been wearing such a distinctive pair of sunglasses today, it wouldn't have been easy for the sniper to discover his identity at a glance among the team and make him the number one. A target for hunting.
Adil stood next to the corpse. As his boss, he was very heartbroken and extremely angry about this failure. The strength of two entire companies was lost in this way.
Just yesterday, more than 600 soldiers were still alive and kicking, but now they all fell here and turned into cold corpses. Within half a day, the corpses were covered with flies, and corpses started to emit from here. Stink.
Although the combat effectiveness of the assault battalion is not as good as that of the other battalions, after all, they are also the elite of the Tuareg armed forces, and their combat effectiveness is quite powerful. Even they have suffered losses in previous battles, but like today, the two reinforced companies were defeated by others. The ambush and total annihilation never happened. Six hundred and twenty soldiers!
Just like this, Adil, as the commander-in-chief of the front line, was almost bleeding from his heart. Moreover, he didn't know how to explain this matter to Shangfeng. Until now, he didn't know that his two companies had been completely wiped out. Who is the enemy?
At this time, another explosion occurred in the forest on his right, and his heart couldn't help but twitch again. Judging from the current situation, their unit entered in a marching state without any precautions. Arrive at this ambush point.
Enemy troopsSteel balls.
It can be seen that these steel balls are very powerful, almost penetrating the soldier's body, and instantly transmitting huge kinetic energy to the soldier's body, causing massive bleeding of internal organs, leading to his immediate death.
Looking at these shiny little steel balls in his hand, Adil knew what kind of weapon they were. It seemed like they were just ordinary bearing steel balls, but why were they so powerful? This is a broadsword mine!
Of course, they also found a small number of bullet casings used by militants in the enemy's preset ambush position. They could determine that the main weapons equipped by the enemy were American weapons, but one of them must have used an AK47 rifle, or perhaps Only sniper rifles leave such a variety of bullet casings.
In this way, it can be determined that there is a group of snipers among the enemy. They are not using sniper rifles of ordinary militants. They are most likely professional sniper rifles.
And the person who used this sniper rifle must be the person who killed the deputy battalion commander. After Adil's inspection, he came to a conclusion that was even more unacceptable to him, that is, the group of enemies who ambushed this unit only had a strength of between 250 and 300, and it was absolutely impossible to exceed 300. human scale.
Such a conclusion almost made Adil want to collapse. A group of enemies with less than 300 people were so bold as to ambush two of their reinforced companies with more than 600 troops, and finally succeeded in killing two of his subordinates. The whole company was wiped out here.
Such a conclusion is simply unbelievable to the extreme. Who could be so bold? In his opinion, looking at the entire Mali, even if the Malian army and the French army are included, it is impossible to be so bold without air support!
With such a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides, who is so arrogant that they dare to do such a thing with less than one-half or even one-third of the strength of their militants?
So he immediately determined that the group of enemies who could achieve this step were most likely mercenaries, that is, the Malian support force.
In his opinion, only these mercenaries could do such a thing. As for others, including the Malians and the French, it was impossible for them to do such a thing.
There may also be local black people among this group of people, so the bamboo stick formations in the forest are probably the work of local black people.
And this support team is equipped with advanced weapons, strong firepower, skilled combat skills, and quite good marksmanship.
However, after this battle, although they could not find the corpses left by the enemy, from the blood stains left in their positions, it can be determined that some of them must have been killed or seriously injured. However, when they evacuated, they would The wounded or dead bodies were taken away.
So Adil immediately ordered his men to spread out to search for traces left by the group's retreat, determine the direction in which they retreated, and be ready to pursue them at any time.
In addition, he continued to order to begin cleaning up the remains of these militants on the battlefield, cremating their bodies on the spot, collecting and registering their remains.
"And he himself dictated what happened here to the headquarters via radio, and then forwarded it to the commander-in-chief, waiting for his punishment.
"When something like this happened and his subordinates caused such heavy losses and failures, he, the frontline commander, cannot absolve himself of the blame this time. Shifting the blame will definitely not work.
Rather than being held accountable afterwards, it would be better to take the initiative to plead guilty, which may also reduce his punishment afterwards.
