The Malian soldiers saw a hairy man-like guy with an American steel helmet on his head and a thatch covering his body. He was carrying a bamboo pole hung with a white cloth and walked out of the Tuareg stronghold in a grand manner. He strode towards them.
So he immediately ordered to strengthen the alert to see what this guy wanted to do. When the mercenary walked outside their checkpoint carrying a white flag, pulled his neck and roared loudly, everyone realized that this guy actually spoke English.
So the black officer slowly stood up and called to the mercenary: "What do you do?"
The mercenary looked at the black officer up and down, looked very nervous, raised his hand and threw the bamboo pole aside, and said loudly to the mercenary: "We are a mercenary unit! Which part are you from?"
The black officer frowned. The reputation of the mercenary unit of Trident Military Company has been very popular among the Malian army recently, and the reputation of the mercenary unit is also very prosperous, so he did not dare to boast. He stood up straight and put a He stepped on the sandbags in the bunker and said to the mercenaries: "We are from the 2nd Regiment! What are you doing here?"
The mercenary swayed and walked towards the black officer, but the other soldiers quickly pointed their guns at the mercenary, clamoring for the mercenary to stop and speak clearly first.
The mercenary stopped and said with a proud look on his face: "We went on a mission some time ago and went to the northeast of Gao. We just came back and passed by here. Our boss took us to take Tuare This stronghold of the Ge people has been destroyed!
Let me come over and say hello to you, and hurry over to take over the Tuareg stronghold! We don't have time to stay here and keep an eye on it for you! "
The black officer pressed his pistol against the helmet on his head, frowned and asked, "Who is your boss?"
The mercenary rolled his eyes with a look of contempt, raised his thumb, pointed behind his back and said: "Our boss?! Rick, have you heard of Boss Rick? He is our boss!"
When the black officer heard this, he let out an ouch, quickly put his foot down, and said with a look of surprise on his face: "You said your boss is Mr. Rick?"
"Of course! Hurry up, stop talking so much nonsense, take people over to take over the position and help clean up the Tuareg bodies! We have been in the jungle in the river valley for almost a month, and we want to go back to rest as soon as possible. The rest You deserve to take over!¡±
The mercenary said impatiently to the black officer with his hands on his waist. Although the mercenary was just a sergeant, the lieutenant was not polite at all when facing the black officer, and he actually felt a bit condescending.
The black officer didn't take it seriously. He quickly walked out of the bunker and said to the mercenary: "Your ID! I want to see your ID first to prove your identity!" The mercenary took out an ID from his pocket. He handed it to the black officer. The black officer put away the pistol, took it and checked it carefully. It was indeed the certificate of the military company.
So he returned the certificate to the mercenary, saluted him, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, brother, but the situation is special. I can't take people there right away. I can only send people over to have a look first. After confirmation, I can go there in person." !¡±
The mercenary took the document and put it back in his pocket. He also saluted the black officer and nodded: "You're a bit wordy, but it's okay to be careful! Okay! Send a few brothers back with me to take a look. In addition, Don¡¯t be stunned, make preparations quickly, hurry over in a moment, take over the position, we have to go back to the base!¡±
The black officer immediately ordered a few of his men, sent a smart squad leader to lead the team, and followed the mercenary to check. The mercenary took the brothers from the 2nd Regiment and turned back to the Tuareg stronghold.
The black officer immediately called the battalion headquarters in the rear using a wired phone and quickly reported the incident. Upon hearing this, the battalion commander at the headquarters became excited and nervous, and immediately ordered the black officer to be careful. If the matter was confirmed, , be sure to lead your troops to occupy it immediately, and hold on to this strategic point to prevent the Tuareg from taking it back.
Now that the Malian military has publicized its ambition to counterattack, it is only a matter of time to fight back to the north of Mali, and it is obvious that they will definitely become the vanguard and be the first to invade Gao. Now they can recapture an important pass. In the future, it will reduce their losses a lot.
So he then sent another platoon of troops to Longkip at full speed to provide reinforcements to the black officers, and immediately fed the news back to the regiment headquarters in Liedou and reported it to the regiment commander.
Their leader was surprised when he heard this, and he was also very surprised. As the leader, he heard about the mercenary troops leading a sneak attack on the Tuareg armed forces more than a month ago, but he never heard of them again after that. news.
Suddenly he heard that Rick personally led his troops out of the Niger Valley and took away the Tuareg stronghold, which surprised him.The weapon is much more convenient than the Malian army. In fact, the Malian military now basically relies on them for arms procurement. Just get these weapons when you go back.
But now these Malian soldiers who came to take over the defense needed stronger firepower to withstand the Tuareg who were about to counterattack, so he could understand why the members of the mercenary unit used the good ones in their hands. The guns were left behind for these friendly forces.
So not only did he not stop them, but he even left his submachine gun with the black officers and others.
Before leaving, Hobson even asked his rocket launchers and ammunition to leave the rocket launchers and ammunition he brought with the black officers, and also kept all the remaining small amounts of mortars and artillery shells.
Seeing that this officer was so reasonable and generous, the black officer was deeply moved and once again thanked Hobson and the members of the mercenary unit.
Watching them get a few stretchers and carry the seriously injured people, including three wounded people, the black officer walked over and looked at the sleeping Lin Rui. Although he was a little regretful that he could not say a few words to Rick, But looking at Lin Rui with a tired look on his face, he solemnly saluted Lin Rui again.
The black officer led all his men to stand at attention and watched Hobson leading the mercenary detachment to leave the Tuareg armed stronghold.
After they left, the black officer held his waist and stood inside the stronghold, looking at the Tuareg corpses lying scattered everywhere. He scratched his head and said to himself: "These mercenaries are really a bunch of people." What a ruthless man! Not a single person was left alive, all of them were shot in the head with guns, they are so damn manly!"
"Okay, the third squad will stay and be responsible for cleaning up the corpses of these Tuareg people. Throw them into the ravine quickly! It will stink for a while! They look disgusting! Machine gun squad, check the weapons, and the first and second squads will cooperate with the machine gun squad , speed up the preparation of fortification bunkers!
Class 4, put out the fire. It¡¯s so fucking smoky. When you¡¯re done, hurry up and repair the fortifications. The Tuareg will be here soon! "The black officer quickly recovered from the shock, stood on the open ground and began to give orders.
Those Malian soldiers gathered together the light machine guns and rocket launchers they had just received and placed them on the position. Some of them put on the weapons handed over to them by the mercenary detachment, and they were all drooling. "Good boy! Our platoon is rich this time! One, two, three, four nine, ten, eleven our platoon now has thirteen light machine guns alone. Plus the heavy machine guns, we have only one before." The battalion¡¯s machine gun fire is up!¡±
Several soldiers were sorting out the fortifications and counting the machine guns. Their platoon originally had four light machine guns, plus a heavy machine gun that was strengthened for their platoon, so their firepower was not weak.
Now the mercenary detachment has left them their light machine guns and the light machine guns they just captured from the Tuareg, allowing the platoon led by the black officer to increase their firepower in an instant.
In the past, the Malian army was very hard-pressed. Even the elite ones like the Malian special forces used obsolete French army equipment.
¡°And because they are anti-terrorist forces, a company often only has one or two heavy machine guns, and each squad has at most one light machine gun, and there are often not enough bullets.
Some ordinary troops have only a dozen light machine guns and no heavy machine guns in a battalion, but now they have a dozen light and heavy machine guns in a platoon, and they have enough ammunition. Before, they would not even think about it. Dare to think.
If they were still a little nervous just now, fearing that they would not be able to hold on when the enemy counterattacked, now that they have such strong firepower, they feel confident!
The terrain here is so favorable, no matter how many enemy troops come, they will only die.
So the Malian soldiers in the reinforced platoon led by the black officer suddenly had high morale. While repairing the fortifications, they were gearing up and waiting for the enemy to come and die. (End of this chapter) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
