While the Tuareg Liberation Organization was busy strengthening the protection of the railway line, Lin Rui and his party had already embarked on the journey back to Gao.
After annihilating Beerbohm's group of militants, Lin Rui ordered the mercenary detachment to evacuate the mountain before dawn, and before the militants came to support, he jumped out of the mountain and headed west into the vast wilderness. Among the forest.
After the militants of the Tuareg Liberation Organization discovered that Beerbohm had been annihilated, they immediately mobilized a large number of manpower and launched a dragnet-style search of the mountains and forests in this area.
But because Lin Rui¡¯s mercenary team acted in a timely manner, they managed to avoid being hunted by the militants and retreated back to the primitive tribes in the jungle.
Although there are locals who are familiar with the jungle among the militants to act as guides for them, compared to the indigenous people who have lived in the dense forest since childhood, no one is more familiar with the jungle here than these indigenous people.
Therefore, although the militants mobilized a large number of troops and invested in the jungle to conduct a dragnet-style manhunt for Lin Rui and his group, Lin Rui and his group still, under the leadership of the indigenous people, made their way through a large area of ??the mountain forest that ordinary people could not pass through. They crossed the swamp and spent two or three days completely escaping the pursuit of the militants.
After making a large circle in the jungle, they finally returned to the indigenous tribe. When they saw other members of the Malian troops again, the injuries of these recuperating Malian soldiers were already under the care of the indigenous people and began to gradually recover. It was easy to wear, and because their wounds were controlled by medicine, coupled with the indigenous people's years of survival experience in the jungle, some herbs for treating trauma discovered by the indigenous people made his injuries recover quickly.
By the time Lin Rui and his men retreated to the tribe, some of the injured were already able to walk. Although the wounds would still hurt if they moved for a longer time, it did not affect his activities much.
Sergey's condition was a bit serious. The soreness all over his body lasted for two full days before it was relieved. This was also related to his high-intensity training all year round, which made his ability to recover from this fatigue injury far exceed There are many ordinary people. If an average person experiences such a high-intensity climb, their whole body will probably be in pain for at least a week.
But after two days, Sergey was back to his normal self. It's just that the injuries to his hands cannot be recovered quickly in a short period of time. For the time being, he cannot hold a gun and participate in the battle. He can only be a real talker.
Faced with the possibility that militants will reach out to the tribes in the jungle in the future, Lin Rui asked their clan leader to move westward into deeper forests to temporarily avoid the search of militants.
If it were before, the tribe leader would definitely not agree to Lin Rui's proposal, but after meeting the two tribesmen from another tribe who have a good relationship with them and hearing about their experiences, this tribe leader can be regarded as Quite open-minded, he immediately agreed to Lin Rui's proposal.
Because with their indigenous tribe alone, if the militants really search here in the future, they will definitely have a head-on conflict with the militants. Although the locals are not afraid of the Tuareg militants, with their strength , but still unable to compete with these militants.
So in order to prevent their tribe from being wiped out, after discussion, the people of this tribe agreed to move to live deeper in the dense forest.
Lin Rui apologized for the trouble they had brought to the tribe and stated that he would try his best to help them and try to help them obtain some material support, including providing them with some weapons.
The leader of this tribe is very happy about this, because he has now learned a lot about the outside world, so if they can obtain some supplies provided by outsiders, it will be a great thing for their tribe in the future. Especially for the sharp weapons in the hands of these outsiders, they like it very much.
So the next day after the agreement was reached, the tribe leader took all the members of the tribe, packed their things, took Lin Rui and his group, and headed deeper into the forest. These natives did not feel bad about moving.
Because they have lived in this dense forest for generations and never live in one place for a long time. In order to survive, they need to move frequently and constantly look for better places to live. Therefore, giving up this place is not a good idea for them. He said he didn't feel uncomfortable or hard to leave.
In addition, these people are already in a semi-primitive living condition. They are all very poor and do not have much property at all. Their property is at best a few small iron pots and some extremely simple ones. Wooden utensils and weapons made by themselves.
&nb?I was very worried, fearing that the sharp sword of the mercenary unit would be broken in the hands of Tuareg militants.
When the telegraph operator received the telegram from the mercenary unit, the Malian officer was so excited that he grabbed the telegram, took a look at it, and ordered the telegraph operator to call Lin Rui and ask him why he had been at odds for so long. Base Liaison.
Lin Rui soon called back, saying that their radio station was damaged during the battle and suffered from water and moisture. It had just been repaired and he immediately contacted the base.
After listening to Lin Rui's explanation, Mali was relieved. In the jungle environment, it was normal for the radio station to fail. Fortunately, Lin Rui and the others repaired the radio station. Otherwise, he really didn't know what to expect in the following days. What to do.
In fact, Lin Rui had no intention of contacting them at all. He actually did not trust these Malian people. Who knows if there might be Tuareg spies among these Malians?
So if he wants to contact, he will only contact actuary Shogan and other people he trusts.
Actuary General An has not been idle either. Not only has he deployed troops to guard the defensive line, but he has also sent small teams of Malian soldiers who have completed their training to the central part of the country.
These soldiers were either transported by vehicles or entered on foot. They have all gathered around several large fortresses and are ready to launch comprehensive operations against armed elements at any time.
But what Mali really cares about the most is the mercenary unit. Lin Rui is currently a trump card in their hands. As long as he is still alive, it will bring him unlimited possibilities.
After reading the list of needed supplies submitted to him by Lin Rui, the Malian officer couldn't help but twitched his face.
This time, Lin Rui¡¯s list of needed supplies was really overwhelming. Communication equipment, food, bullets, grenades, explosives, batteries, detonators, detonators, fuses and the like were all considered normal, but The amount of food this guy asked for was enough to feed two companies for half a year!
Not only that, Lin Rui actually asked him to airdrop AK47 rifles, light and heavy machine guns, mortars and rocket launchers, as well as a large number of bullets and artillery shells. I almost didn't even ask him for a tank or a fighting vehicle.
Looking at this list, the Malian officer asked with twitching lips: "Mr. Rick, are you crazy? Why does he need so many weapons?"
Lin Rui soon called back again and informed Evler of the situation in Gao, saying that he wanted to unite local armed forces to fight against the Tuareg militants and use them to open up a safe area in the Gao area to For them to use their place as a supply station or a resting place in the future.
In fact, most of the armed forces in these places are tribal forces. They are the real bosses of this region, they are not under the jurisdiction of the Malian government, nor are they controlled by the Tuareg people.
If anyone can enlist their help, they will be able to take greater initiative.
After hearing this, the Malian officer was immediately relieved. Without hesitation, he signed and approved the distribution list of this batch of supplies, and ordered that the only air transportation force be used to transport this batch of supplies immediately according to the location provided by the mercenary unit. Supplies were airdropped.
At the same time, he ordered Lin Rui to immediately lead his team back to the base to rest and recuperate, and prepare together to attack Gao, and not to continue to stay in the jungle for activities.
Lin Rui took this order from the Malian High Command and laughed: "Look! Now they have realized our value, so they have become concerned about us! This is strength!
We used our own skills to let the Malian military know our value, so they readily agreed to our request!
Everyone, just wait, this time I will take you back to the forward camp to have a good rest! Make final preparations for war. "
When everyone heard that they could take a break for a while after returning home, they were all very happy. It seemed that their fatigue these days had been swept away and they became cheerful. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
