This is the first night Li Zheng spent in country L.
I originally thought that the first day after arrival would be spent in intense camp building and preparation, but unexpectedly, the first night was spent in a corner of the airport, sitting next to a pile of supply boxes and spending the night with the giant mosquitoes from country L.
Snapped--
With a crisp slap, Li Zhengxun looked up and saw Fatty Wei spreading his fat claws with his hands, a pool of blood inside, and a mosquito corpse lying in his palm.
"Fuck! The mosquitoes here are so big!"
Fatty Wei screamed.
Li Zheng said: "Why don't you quickly apply some wind oil essence?"
"It's no use at all!"
Fatty Wei, who even took out his bunny hat and put it on, and pulled his field silk scarf over his face to cover his mouth and nose, waved his hands in vain to shoo away the mosquitoes buzzing around him.
"I covered my face, and he bit me on the forehead. Have the mosquitoes here never drank blood? Are they all gone? So ferocious!"
Tong Zhi heard Fatty Wei's complaints from the sidelines and joked: "Maybe it's because the blood of a fat guy like you has never been drunk. It has high fat content and tastes good. There are probably not many fat people in the L country because of the continuous war."
Fatty Wei muttered about being unlucky, and said: "I don't think we Chinese have ever drunk the blood of us Chinese... Now that's good, I've traveled thousands of miles to send some blood..."
In fact, not only Fatty Wei, but also Li Zheng's ears were filled with the buzzing sound of mosquitoes, just like a group of bombers flying around his ears.
Li Zheng didn't know whether other places in Africa were serious, but this mosquito was considered a thorough surveillance.
As a soldier of the Assault Company of the Special Forces Brigade, surviving in the deep mountains and old forests in the field is a common practice, but being so "contemplating death" and not even afraid of mosquitoes can be regarded as a new experience.
"I said, Fatty Wei, didn't we wear goggles? Wearing them might be able to block it."
Yang Hui's words suddenly enlightened everyone.
Fatty Wei slapped his thigh: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"
He turned around, rummaged through his backpack, and finally pulled out his goggles, quickly buckling them on his face.
Because this is Africa and country L is located on the edge of the Sahara Desert, everyone is issued goggles to protect themselves from the wind and sand.
I didn't expect it to come in handy here.
Fasten your goggles and pull down your bonnet to block as much exposed skin as possible. In this way, there won't be many areas attacked by mosquitoes.
Everyone sat in the dark and cursed the German pilots of the peacekeeping force.
To these Chinese soldiers, the two Germans who were able to disobey orders were considered strange among soldiers.
Tong Zhi has been observing his surroundings vigilantly.
Although this airport is currently controlled by the National Defense Forces of Country L, and a lot of security personnel have been sent to guard it, it is said that the security problem will not be too big.
But after seeing the "characteristics" of country L, Tong Zhi felt that the government troops here were not very reliable.
He even began to worry about whether some members of an armed organization would infiltrate into the vicinity of the airport, set up a mortar or the like, fire a rapid fire, and then run away without a trace with oil on their feet. What about people like himself?
That's bad luck.
No matter whether you are a member of the special forces or not, no matter how great your individual skills are, you cannot withstand a sneak attack by others. Especially a direct-fire artillery such as a mortar, which can hit cattle from across the mountain, is powerful and flexible, and is really hard to defend against.
His worries are actually not impossible.
The easiest way to undermine peacekeeping is to attack members of the peacekeeping force and force the United Nations to withdraw. As long as the United Nations withdraws, chaos will return here.
All armed organizations like chaos, otherwise they will not be able to occupy the mountains and rule the land. In short, everything is just for desire and profit.
Even if the neighborhood is safe and there are no armed elements infiltrating, there is no guarantee that thieves will appear here due to poor management.
Although they were said to be peacekeeping troops, they were actually members of the Special Operations Brigade. If supplies were stolen, Africa would be completely hit in the face.
Fatty Wei put his big backpack on his head and looked towards the departure hall.
"Platoon leader, I think we should go back to the waiting hall and stay there. It's not that far away anyway. You can see here through the glass. There's air conditioning inside, and there aren't that many mosquitoes."
Tong Zhi glared at him and cursed: "Wei Guoxing, why are you still in the commando team if you are so afraid of hardship? How comfortable would it be for you to go to the ordinary army? After two years of work, I will go back and be your charterer. As for suffering here?"
Fatty Wei's weakness was suddenly taken advantage of by Tong Zhi.
The reason why he chose the special operations brigade and worked hard to stay in the special reconnaissance battalion commando team was because he wanted to prove that he could endure hardship and was not afraid of hardship.
If it is true as Tong Zhi said, all his efforts will be in vain.
Fatty Wei is such a thief. He is afraid that if Tong Zhi continues on this topic, he might be kicked out of the commando team if he goes back. This topic suddenly took a 180-degree turn, but it can be realized perfectly.
Seamless connection.
He turned his head and pretended to look up at the sky, and said with emotion: "Platoon leader... the sky here is so clean... look over there, is it the Milky Way?"
Li Zheng raised his head and saw that the sky was clear, and there was a silver star belt among the stars.
That's the Milky Way.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring a camera, and the publicity officer is not here..." Fatty Wei continued to change the topic: "Otherwise, I can take some photos, and I can post them on WeChat when I go back."
"We are disciplined, have you forgotten? You can't post randomly on WeChat Moments! Wei Guoxing, are you lacking a nerve in your head? Can you think of something useful?" Tong Zhi interrupted his fantasy: "Now let me share one
After being laid off, the six of us can't work until dawn at the same time. We are divided into two shifts, with two people on each post for three hours, taking turns. After the third post is completed, it will be dawn."
After being divided into groups, everyone was finally able to take turns sleeping. When sleeping, Li Zheng took out his tactical gloves and put them on his hands, otherwise he would definitely be woken up by mosquito bites.
It was a peaceful night, and nothing happened.
By the time the third shift finished their sentry post, the eastern horizon was already slightly brighter, with the faint hint of fish belly white appearing.
The six of them finally stayed up until after eight o'clock, and the comrades who had spent the night in the hotel took the bus back to the airport.
Everyone continued to wait at the airport, and Commander Xia continued to call and shake people.
Later, at 9:30, the two pilots and a mechanic from the German crew finally appeared at the airport in their SUV.
The peacekeeping team also got up early and rushed over.
Seeing several blond German pilots, everyone was angry but did not dare to show off.
After all, I pointed out that these men took everyone to J City, and if I offended them, they would leave everyone here again.
These bastards have no military discipline to speak of. With their behavior, there is nothing you can do against them.
this is the truth.
Before Tong Zhi got on the plane, he stared hard at the two pilots who were dancing and chatting exaggeratedly under the plane, and then cursed: "Coward!"
