So Lincoln and his group dragged the militants by the nose, fought and retreated in the jungle, and drifted away. Lin Rui led the rest of the people to speed up and retreat in another direction.
Listening to the gunfire behind him gradually disappearing, Lin Rui stopped, took a deep look at the jungle behind him, and said to himself: "Brothers, take care!"
After it got dark, Lin Rui and the others could no longer hear the gunshots in the jungle behind them. It was certain that Lincoln and the others had successfully introduced the shadow-like armed men behind them into the distant jungle.
In such a complex terrain, if you miss them, it is basically impossible to find them again. After arriving here, even the Tuareg reconnaissance helicopter that had been flying around above their heads was lost. trace.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. Following Lin Rui¡¯s order, they all found a dry place to sit down, breathing heavily.
But everyone was in a heavy mood. No one felt happy because they got rid of the militants. After sitting down, they all silently looked at the sky in the direction they came from, thinking about the Lincoln brothers.
After breathing for a while, Hobson wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked to Lin Rui, and handed a bottle of water to Lin Rui. Lin Rui took it silently and took a few sips, then screwed on the lid and handed it back to Hobson.
Hobson sat down and said solemnly to Lin Rui: "You soldiers are the best soldiers I have ever seen! Much better than I originally imagined! I pay tribute to you! You are all good!"
Lin Rui nodded and said: "The same goes for you. The reason why the combat effectiveness is poor is because Mali is too poor and backward. Therefore, Malian soldiers do not have sufficient weapons and ammunition, and do not receive effective training, so they often suffer defeats!"
"But most of the Malian soldiers do not lack the spirit of sacrifice! There are countless Malian soldiers who fight on the front line with the most basic weapons and the least ammunition for our motherland and national dignity. And they are willing to fight for our motherland Throw your life and blood with the nation!
So they are also the best soldiers! As long as you feed them, give them enough weapons and ammunition, and teach them how to fight, they will never lack courage! replied Hobson.
"As long as you give me two years to start training grassroots officers and establish the backbone of an army, your army will be very different in two years." Lin Rui whispered.
"Yes! I have also heard about the officer training plan, and I also think that the general's decision is correct. But now I have changed my opinion. We can't keep up with your strength even if it takes two years!
Because your people are not only trained, but they have survived the battlefield. I began to understand that it would be difficult for a soldier who has never seen blood to become a true warrior. Hobson nodded and said with emotion.
Lin Rui did not continue to speak, but took out a piece of chocolate, broke off a piece, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. After dark, the temperature in the mountain forest began to drop.
The altitude here has exceeded one thousand meters. Although at the junction of the Niger River rainforest, the daily temperature on the plain is around 20 degrees even in winter.
But the altitude here is relatively high. When we walked up here, the temperature at night had dropped to less than ten degrees Celsius. When we were walking fast, we didn¡¯t feel cold at all, but once we stopped and sweated, we started to feel cold. It feels chilly.
Everyone took out a sweater from their backpack and put it on inside their clothes. Before setting off this time, they had anticipated this situation and had made preparations in advance, bringing a sweater as a way to keep out the cold. use. Even so, many people were still shivering from the cold and could only huddle together to keep warm.
Lin Rui looked at the sky, turned on the flashlight and looked at the map to confirm their current location. After closing his eyes and feeling it, he didn't have any premonition of danger, so he ordered to collect dry wood and light a bonfire. This is the mountain range on the north side of the river valley. It is an inaccessible place that is least suitable for human survival. Even the Tuareg people cannot extend their claws into this vast forest, so after arriving here, they only need to get rid of With the Tuaregs tracking them behind them, they were now safe.
It is very dangerous to camp in such a jungle without lighting a bonfire. The jungle in this area is a paradise for wild beasts. There are many pythons and venomous snakes in the jungle. There are also many dangerous and ferocious animals living in it. There are also many other kinds of wild animals. animal.
These wild beasts have a strong sense of territory and will not be polite to any humans who invade their territory. Especially the beasts living in this area like to hunt and find food at night. If people don¡¯t light a bonfire in the jungle at night,The clear water from the creek in the forest came and was hung on the bonfire to burn.
After the water boils, they pour it into the kettle and store it, and then they drink the rest.
In this regard, the Malian soldiers did not even do as well as these mercenaries. In terms of executing orders, these Malian people still seemed too lax. Today, there were Malian soldiers who tried to drink from forest streams on the road because they were too thirsty. The raw water taken inside.
But after being discovered by Lin Rui, he immediately slapped his kettle away and kicked the guy. The guy was not convinced at first and asked Lin Rui why he beat him. Lin Rui said to him with a cold face: "If you want to die in this jungle, then I won't care about you anymore. You can drink whatever you like." Drink up!
In this kind of place, where there is usually a water source, a large number of animals gather. And a large number of animals carry various unknown viruses. And there are many viruses carried by animals that can infect humans.
Once humans are infected with those viruses, they will suffer from various fevers. If you get sick in this place, you will die.
Not only will you die, but you will infect others with the virus.
¡°If you want to die, I won¡¯t stop you, but I tell you, as long as you get sick from drinking raw water, I will throw you away without hesitation. We would even bury you alive to prevent you from infecting other people. If you want to drink, just drink! "
After being scolded, the Malian soldier immediately calmed down, picked up the kettle, apologized to Lin Rui, and continued to walk forward despite his thirst.
Hobson also knew that Lin Rui was not deliberately making things difficult for them, so he gave orders to several Malian officers, telling them to obey all Lin Rui's orders. If anyone disobeyed, they would get out immediately!
As a result, these Malian soldiers became more honest. They carefully watched the actions of Lin Rui and his old subordinates along the way, firmly memorizing their various behaviors, and licking their faces if they didn't understand something. .
Lin Rui did not hide their questions and gave them detailed answers, which impressed Hobson and the other officers.
It turned out that they thought they were all officers, but now when they compared with Lin Rui, they realized that they were just ignorant children in the jungle, let alone compared with Lin Rui, even compared with Lin Rui's old subordinates, They are all just graduated from elementary school.
¡°If they were asked to carry out this mission alone this time, not to mention whether they could complete the mission of attacking the airport, even if they were asked to return to the base on foot from here, they felt that the chance of walking back alive was slim.
So in front of Lin Rui's group of mercenaries, these Malian soldiers completely behaved themselves and began to become good students. They were like curious babies along the way, constantly asking about various things, and seizing the time to learn from these people. Learn from experience.
The smoke from the campfire effectively drove away a large number of mosquitoes, which allowed them to get a rare night's rest in the jungle after wrapping up their clothes tightly.
At dawn the next day, everyone's mental and physical strength had recovered a lot. Under the leadership of Lin Rui, they once again strode forward.
Lin Rui looked at the map again and checked the GPS coordinates. Satellite data showed that they were now less than ten kilometers away from the base where they were scheduled to meet.
According to the plan, there will be a battalion of the Malian Army there, waiting to join them. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
