Although these Tuareg people also made bonfires, they did not know how to choose a camping site. Alva, who was exhausted tonight, also ignored this matter.
The camping site they chose looks fine on the surface, but looking from the surrounding heights, one can see that the camping site chosen by the Tuareg militants in Alba tonight is a depression in the mountain. small basin.
This kind of terrain is a big taboo in the jungle. It is not a big problem at night, but when the temperature begins to drop, the floating miasma will settle down the hillside from all directions, and finally slowly merge in. into this depression.
If the Tuareg militants had stood still, nothing would have happened to them while passing through here. However, during this day's rapid march, they had to cross mountains and ridges and constantly encounter traps. From time to time, they would have "fierce battles" with the enemy. .
After camping at night, the Tuareg militants were exhausted after more than two days of high-intensity exercise. Even elite Tuareg militants could not withstand such exhaustion.
So after these militants ate something to fill their stomachs, most of them lay down on the spot and fell asleep regardless, but they did not realize at all that the god of death was quietly walking towards them. At this time, the miasma had begun to slowly flow into the depression along the hillside unknowingly. .
At first no one felt anything, but when it was time for the Tuareg militants who were assigned to guard duty to change the guard, there was no replacement comrade to come to change the guard. So some sentries cursed and asked those who were supposed to take over to get up and change the guard. It's their turn to rest.
But after shouting for a while, some Tuareg militants discovered that something seemed to be wrong. Some Tuareg militants could not wake up, and even if some did wake up, they were too weak to stand up. I felt dizzy and nauseous, and I lay on the ground and vomited.
Some Tuareg militants were bleeding from the mouth and nose and fell into a coma. When they realized that something was wrong, the militants panicked and immediately started making a fuss. Alva was not sleeping at this time. He sat on the root of a big tree and asked the guard to shine a flashlight on the map. He made various marks on the map, measured and calculated the distance, and planned the action plan for tomorrow.
He was sitting on a higher ground, so he was not affected by the miasma. When he heard the panicked shouts of the soldiers, Alva suddenly stood up and cursed: "What's wrong! What happened?" ?¡±
At this time, a Tuareg armed soldier ran over to Alva in a panic and shouted: "Captain Alva! Something happened, many people were poisoned!" When Alva heard this, his scalp suddenly felt numb, and he suddenly felt a little numb. He rushed out, grabbed the messenger and shouted loudly: "What did you say?"
"Sir! Many people have been poisoned. When the sentries were changing guard just now, they found that no one was taking over, so they went to wake up the soldiers who took over, but many people couldn't be woken up. Even if some people were woken up, they were still dizzy. They had headaches, vomiting and convulsions, many people fainted, and their mouths and noses were bleeding!¡±
When Alva heard this, he became anxious and immediately rushed to the camp. At this time, the Tuareg soldiers who were lucky enough not to be poisoned were calling for their unconscious companions lying on the ground. The whole camp was in chaos. .
Alva immediately ordered increased vigilance. He squatted down to check on a soldier who had passed out and was bleeding from his mouth and nose. He shouted and asked him what he had eaten and drank before going to bed.
But some soldiers replied that the food they ate and the water they drank were the same, but some were poisoned while others were not.
Alva squatted on the ground and checked several unconscious soldiers one after another. Suddenly his body swayed and he felt chest tightness and dizziness. There seemed to be a pungent smell in the air, so he quickly shook his head, stood up and looked around. After a moment, an idea flashed in my mind, and my hair almost stood up in shock.
"It's broken! Oops, it's miasma! Quick, put on gas masks, lift everyone out of here, and move them to higher ground! Be fast! This is miasma, the air here is poisonous!" Alva shouted while Let the soldiers who can still move immediately take out the gas masks and put them on, and carry the poisoned soldiers here to a high place at full speed.
At this time, the Tuareg militants were all panicked. They hurriedly took out the gas masks they carried with them, fastened them on their faces one by one, like a wild boar spirit, and then began to lie down on the ground in a hurried manner. The Tuareg soldiers who were standing lifted up and moved towards higher ground.
After struggling for most of the night, they escaped from the depression to the high slope. The air here became much fresher, and some people's chest tightness and breathlessness were slightly better.
Alva was so upset that he wanted to commit suicide. A small oversightp; The problem now is that Alva¡¯s pursuit has failed and he suffered huge losses in the jungle. If he gets angry blindly and ignores them, not only will he not be able to solve the problem at all, but he will also only lose those elite veterans. In the jungle.
And he also knows the natural environmental conditions of the Niger River jungle. The environment there is so harsh. Although their eighth regiment has participated in combat in various places, they have accumulated a certain amount of experience in jungle warfare.
But after arriving here, he gained a new understanding of the harsh environment of the jungle. Although Alva had rich experience in jungle warfare, he was also not familiar with the natural environment in this area. Under his death order, Alva pursued the group of enemies and rashly broke into the Savage Mountain. It was inevitable that nothing would go wrong.
¡°If this matter is all blamed on Alva, it is indeed unfair to Alva. Even if he brings Alva back and shoots him now, it will not help.
So no matter how he will be dealt with in the future, his top priority now is to rescue Alva's group first. Otherwise, hundreds of elite veterans will be left in the mountains and forests, and the loss of his combat effectiveness will be very great. .
Out of loyalty to the Tuareg Liberation Organization, the frontline commander finally chose to send a rescue team, bringing medicine and military doctors, and rushed to the location of the Alwa tribe at full speed to pick them up out of the forest.
After arranging the rescue operation, the frontline commander drank a glass of sake and smoked a cigarette, then stood up and informed Azam of the news.
After hearing this, Azzam had basically the same reaction as the frontline commander. He suddenly became furious and directly talked to the frontline commander on the wired phone. He cursed the frontline commander on the phone. However, regarding this result, he There is nothing you can do.
For the sake of face, he thought about it, ordered the frontline commander to block the news, and announced that their eighth regiment had annihilated all the enemies who attacked the airport in the mountains and forests along the Niger River, and asked the frontline commander to The officials cooperated with him and confirmed the news with a unified voice.
Of course, a frontline commander who can take on such a position would not be a fool, not to mention that this matter also involves his future. If it is revealed that he not only failed to capture this group of enemies, but also lost his troops, even Azzam will Will not spare him.
So after the frontline commander received the instruction, he immediately understood what to do. He immediately ordered to block all information, sent people to catch up with the rescue team, and ordered everyone involved in the operation to be kept silent, and no one was allowed to disclose the operation. Details of the operation, and unified caliber, unanimously claimed that all enemies had been annihilated in the jungle.
The reason is simple. This involves the honor of their eighth regiment. Anyone who spreads the true situation of this operation is a betrayal of their eighth regiment.
The Tuareg people really do this. They value honor more than their lives, and they are extremely loyal to their team.
What¡¯s more, the Tuareg people have had a cunning and changeable character since ancient times. It has become their tradition to deceive superiors and conceal the results of their battles. This has been their tradition. For the sake of personal or collective face, they have repeatedly deceived superiors and concealed the results of their battles. This has happened many times on the battlefield. .
Moreover, the Tuareg people are well-known for their good reputation. They often slap people in the face and refuse to admit their failures. This is also a common practice. What's more, this time they have another reason, which is that they are afraid that this matter will spread. It will deal a blow to the morale of Tuareg militants.
As for the enemy¡¯s corpse! The frontline commanders had ten thousand ways to obtain enough corpses to pretend to be annihilated enemies. Such a pursuit battle, which was like a joke, was glossed over for these two good reasons.
Lincoln did not know about this incident. After he led his team to escape the pursuit of Tuareg militants, he wandered in the mountains and forests for two days. After confirming that he had escaped the pursuit of Tuareg militants, he They chose a place to rest. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
