    His state of mind also infected the other wounded in the team. Each wounded soldier gritted his teeth and insisted on walking independently. At best, he could only be helped by others. No one was willing to let others carry them forward.

    As a result, although their traveling speed was slightly slower, it was faster than expected. Hobson nodded secretly many times, impressed by Lin Rui's spirit.  If such injuries were placed on their officers, they would probably lie down and have people carry them away by now.

    But Lin Rui relied on his extremely strong will and always limped to the front of the team.

    Except for Lin Rui, all the injured mercenaries gritted their teeth and kept marching. This made his impression of these mercenaries change a lot again.

    Now he has long admitted that if he said who is the best soldier in the world, he would definitely not say the Malian soldiers.  After all, these mercenaries are mentally and physically stronger than their Malian counterparts.

    Lin Rui not only led the team forward, but also continued to teach the recruits and Malians in the team various jungle survival experiences and jungle combat techniques in English during the march.

    Everyone can be said to have benefited a lot along the way, and learned a lot of practical experience from Lin Rui that could not be learned from books or other people before.

    In particular, Malian soldiers like Hobson privately believe that if they can return to the base alive this time, they will all become experts in jungle warfare and become the best in jungle warfare in the Malian army. This will be important for them in the future in the army.  Their promotion will be a huge mark on their resumes and will become a lifelong asset for them.

    After two days of traveling, they finally crossed the mountains in this area and entered the easternmost mountain forest of the Niger Valley on the southwest side.

    When they arrived here, they began to be careful. After several months of operations, the 8th Regiment of Tuareg Militants now has full control of the entire valley and has set up numerous checkpoints here. At the same time, in order to provide them with  The troops were easily supplied, and they also built simple roads that could pass cars.

    This place is an important node on the highway. If nothing else, Tuareg militants must be heavily guarded here. This is also the first stop in Lin Rui's plan to conduct reconnaissance of the Eighth Regiment's troop distribution.

    So after coming down from the mountain, they started to act a lot more carefully. They no longer moved forward noisily, but began to spread out, forming a warning formation and slowly searching forward, using gestures to communicate with each other as much as possible.  , in case the Tuareg have checkpoints in the jungle.

    At the same time, Lin Rui ordered the Malian communications soldier carrying the radio to stop and turn on the radio every half hour, receive signals, and check whether the radio signals from Lincoln and his party could be received.

    ¡°In addition, for the sake of safety, he also ordered the mercenary who also carried a satellite communication radio to keep his radio on and receive surrounding signals at any time to prevent missing the contact signal sent by Lincoln and his party.

    After marching in the forest for two hours, they finally arrived at the edge of the forest. Lin Rui ordered everyone to strengthen their camouflage and used local materials to camouflage their bodies with branches and leaves, leaving Hobson to lead the team.  He led a few people to act as scouts, walked to the front of the team, and went to the edge of the forest to conduct reconnaissance on the road outside the forest.

    Due to the terrain, the valley is relatively humid all year round. During the rainy season, because rainwater converges from the mountains in all directions into the Hukang River Valley, many places are covered with ocean. Even if it is not flooded, there are swamps everywhere.  Access is very difficult.

    This has also created a lot of streams in the river valley. During the rainy season, the water in many streams is so fast that it is impossible to cross it easily.  But after the rainy season, as the rainfall decreases significantly, the water in the river valley will gradually recede, exposing the ground, and some streams will stop flowing. Even if they continue to flow, they will only be less than knee-deep, allowing people to cross on foot.  Pass.  biqupai.

    It is already the dry season in the valley, so the valley is temporarily relatively dry, making it much easier to travel!

    But we must not take it lightly. There are still swamps in many places in the valleys and forests.  There is nothing visible on the surface of these swamps, and it is often only after you step into them that you realize you have fallen into a swamp.

    Some swamps are unfathomable. Once you fall into them, you will soon be overwhelmed and drowned alive in the swamp.  Therefore, they must be very careful when moving in the forest. Two or three people are often connected with ropes or vines. Once someone falls into the swamp, others can pull him out in time.

    Lin Rui endured the pain of the wound on his leg and led a few people to the edge of the forest, starting from here.The main force of the Eighth Regiment, so even when he looked at these Tuareg militant cars loaded with supplies, he didn't think much of it.

    After completing the reconnaissance here, he led his people back to the jungle. The first thing he said was to ask the signal troops whether they had contacted Lincoln or the others.

    But both of them shook their heads and said that they did not receive the radio signal sent by Lincoln and the others. This made Lin Rui a little disappointed and couldn't help but feel as if his heart was being pulled.

    "Mr. Rick, what should we do next?" Hobson looked at Lin Rui and asked him.  Lin Rui turned to look at Hobson and several of his Malian officers and soldiers, and asked Hobson: "Hobson, if you were asked to make a decision, what would you do?"

    Hobson sat on a tree root, looked deep into the jungle, smiled bitterly and said: "Although my reason tells me that they may be in danger now, emotionally speaking, I still hope to see them.  Join us alive! If I had to decide, I would wait here until night and set off early tomorrow morning!"

    Lin Rui shook his head and said: "No! You underestimate the abilities of these people! Although I can't guarantee that all of them are alive, I can guarantee that most of them are definitely still alive! So before I find them, I won't  You will leave this area easily!"

    Hobson looked at Lin Rui in surprise and said to him: "As a commander, I think you should be more rational! In fact, you should know very well, how could they be fine in the situation they were in at that time?"

    Lin Rui smiled and replied: "That's because you don't understand them, and you don't understand this jungle too well! This jungle will provide them with the best cover, and what they have learned can also make them relaxed  Get rid of those little Tuaregs!

    As long as they want to leave, no one can stop them in the jungle. I even think that they may seriously injure the little Tuaregs!  I can bet you that most of them will be fine!  I wonder if you dare to bet?  "

    Hobson is a good gambler and he often likes to bet with others. This is famous in the base, so Lin Rui teased him.

    Hobson became interested as soon as he heard this. After thinking about it, he said to Lin Rui: "Okay, I'll bet you ten dollars!"

    "No, no, no! Your bet is too small! If I had to bet, I would bet a hundred dollars!" Lin Rui shook his head.

    "One hundred dollars? It seems a bit much!" Hobson hesitated.

    "Don't you dare?" Lin Rui smiled slightly.

    "Okay! Just bet a hundred dollars! If most of them can join us alive, I will lose you a hundred dollars! But we can't wait here for too long, three days! Three days at most! If they  If you don't join us, what if you lose?" Hobson was so excited by Lin Rui that he agreed to the bet.

    "Okay, it's a deal!" Lin Rui replied confidently.

    During the next day, they hid in the jungle near the village. While waiting for Lincoln and the others, they did not waste time and conducted a detailed inspection of the terrain and various facilities of the Tuareg militants around La Jun.  They conducted reconnaissance and marked the route they took here in detail on the map.

    This time they ran here from the base. The road was very steep, but they also found a passage that allowed the troops to bypass the enemy troops from nearby and reach Gao City directly.

    Although this road is difficult and dangerous, it can be regarded as a passage that can be used for surprise attacks in the future, so that the enemy can be caught off guard.

    The mercenary responsible for monitoring the radio signal and another Malian communications soldier exclaimed almost at the same time: "There is a signal! It's them!"

    Lin Rui, who was lying on the tree hammock, ignored the pain in his thigh. He jumped up and limped to the radio station. He grabbed the intercom and shouted: "Lincoln! Where are you now?"  ? How are you doing now?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
