Chapter two hundred and eighty eighth surprise attack
Robin Hood said: "Actually, we were captured by Gao Sheng before! But God has eyes and the dragon group should not be killed. Just when Gao Sheng wanted to execute us, the government troops suddenly came and saved us by mistake.
Killed us!"
Robin Hood's description was very simple, but Gu Fei knew that the process must be extremely dangerous.
Gu Fei looked at the heavily armed brothers: "Then what are you going to do now? Are you going to capture Gao Sheng?"
Robin Hood said: "No! Gao Sheng has already run away! It will not be easy to catch him next time! The government troops saved our lives at least, and we are here to help them complete a small task!"
Robin Hood described this raid as a "small mission." If Akfu heard this, his eyebrows would probably jump. But to be honest, in Robin Hood's eyes, this raid was just a small mission.
Gu Fei groaned and said: "Then you must pay attention to safety, never... never let anyone be injured or killed again..."
Robin Hood nodded: "You don't have to worry about these, just take good care of yourself!"
"Well!" Gu Fei said: "I will recover from my injuries as soon as possible so that I can fight with you!"
Before setting off, Robin Hood and Acroft had their last pre-battle conversation.
Robin Hood pointed to the map and asked Akov: "Where is the nearest rebel force to the ammunition depot?"
Akfu pointed to the northwest of the ammunition depot: "In a desert area 60 kilometers east of the ammunition depot, there is a rebel force stationed with five to six hundred people!"
Robin Hood held his chin and said, "Well! In other words, once we capture the ammunition depot, this rebel force will send reinforcements as soon as possible?"
Akfu said: "Yes! If this rebel force arrives, it will be very difficult for us to seize the ammunition depot!"
Among these relatively small countries, an army of five to six hundred people is considered a quite powerful force. Naturally, these countries cannot be compared with the powerful countries in the world, such as the United States, Russia, and China, which often have dozens of troops.
With millions of troops, there is a huge disparity in national strength.
Robin Hood asked Akfu: "How long will it take for the rebel forces to get to the ammunition depot?"
Akfu said: "The marching speed in the desert area is relatively slow. Taking into account the speed of reaction gathering and the military quality of the rebels, we should arrive in about three hours!"
Robin Hood nodded: "In other words, you have three hours to transport ammunition and supplies! The jungle terrain is complex, and it is very inconvenient to transport supplies. I suggest you use the waterway to transport supplies!" With that, Robin Hood pointed to a road behind the ammunition depot.
The winding blue lines are the symbol of the river.
Akfu nodded in agreement with Robin Hood's proposal: "Your suggestion is very good. I will send a speedboat squadron to be on standby in the river at any time. Once you take down the ammunition depot, send a signal to the speedboat squadron!"
"OK!" Robin Hood rolled up the map and put it in his arms, and waved his hand: "Let's go!"
Huha!
The members of the Dragon Team raised their arms and shouted, all of them high-spirited and full of energy.
Two gray-green army-green jeeps were parked at the entrance of the military camp, and the seven-person team of the dragon group got into the two jeeps.
Akfu saluted them with a military salute: "I wish you good luck!"
The jeep carried the Dragon Team members and drove out of the military camp, through the city, and toward the jungle area northwest of Cairo. This jungle is called the "Golden Eagle Jungle" by locals. The national emblem of Egypt is a golden eagle.
It's called Saladin's Eagle. According to legend, Saladin's Eagle flew out of this jungle, so people called this jungle the Golden Eagle Jungle.
It is more than a hundred kilometers from Cairo city to the Golden Eagle Jungle. There are no highways, only dusty desert roads.
After leaving the city, you can see a desolate and lonely scene.
In the years of war and strife, the originally flat desert road has become unrecognizable. The ground is full of deep cracks and potholes of various sizes, which are the traces left by artillery shells. There used to be some green vegetation on both sides of the road.
They are all dead now. Yellow sand covers the road. When the wind blows, the gravel flies all over the sky, which hurts your face. There were originally some houses on both sides, but they have been destroyed in the war. The charred ruins tell the story of the war.
It's cruel, and the air is filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke. Not a ghost can be seen on the road, and there is no trace of life. It's like walking into a dark area abandoned by the world. Occasionally, you can see a few pitch-black birds on the tilted telephone poles.
Crows, they make hoarse cries, adding to the feeling of death.
Seeing the devastation everywhere, the Dragon Team members felt extremely shocked.
Mao Xiaowu said with emotion: "When you take a tour of the outside world, you will feel that our motherland is actually relatively beautiful! Although there is a lot of darkness, at least the social environment is stable, and the people can still live and work in peace and contentment.
Being able to have enough food and clothing is the happiest thing. Looking at these people living in the flames of war, we are really lucky that we can live in peace of mind!"
After driving more than ten kilometers out of the suburbs, the two jeeps arrived at a dilapidated town.
A checkpoint was set up in the town, and a sentry unit of the government army was stationed inside.
After talking to the soldiers who were driving, Robin Hood learned that this was the most advanced checkpoint of the government forces in Cairo. Moreover, this checkpoint was recaptured through a bloody battle by the government forces. When the situation was most critical, the rebels had already invaded the suburbs of Cairo.
, directly threatening the Egyptian government. Beyond this checkpoint is the "no man's land", which is no longer under the control of the government forces, and their life safety will be lost.
Looking at the heavily guarded checkpoints, the soldiers with live ammunition, the heavy machine guns mounted behind the sandbags, and the stern faces, the members of the Dragon Team could not help but become nervous due to this atmosphere, and involuntarily tightened their grip.
Assault rifle in hand.
After registering at the checkpoint, two jeeps passed through the checkpoint, kicking up two tails of flying dust.
The soldiers inside the checkpoint saluted the jeep as it drove away.
After passing through the checkpoint, the road conditions in no-man's land were even worse, of course, if this could still be called a road.
Looking around, the ground is full of potholes of varying depths, with the largest pothole being more than five meters in diameter. If the soldier in charge of driving had not quickly dodged it with quick eyes and hands, the jeep would have sunk into the pit. Everyone sitting on the jeep
It's like riding a boat, and the bumps are very severe. Sometimes the jeep can bounce up to more than two meters high, and then fall heavily, just like riding a roller coaster, which is thrilling.
The two soldiers responsible for driving held the steering wheel tightly and were highly focused, not daring to make any jokes.
Zhuge Nanxing covered his mouth and looked like he wanted to vomit again and again. His face was livid and he looked very uncomfortable: "My heart, liver and lungs are dripping! If I keep going like this, my five internal organs will almost fall apart!"
Mao Xiaowu said: "I don't really want to vomit, but my penis feels numb and I really want to pee!"
Jia Ke said: "Fortunately Yang Xiaoxiao is in the car in front, otherwise she would have kicked you out of the car!"
The jeep they were riding in was an old-fashioned open-top jeep that can often be seen in Anti-Japanese War TV series. Not far after driving, two soldiers parked the car on the side of the road and gave each of them a black silk scarf.
, let them gather around their faces to block the wind and sand. Because the wind and sand outside are really too big, and this is an open-top jeep. When they start driving, yellow sand is flying all over the sky and the ground, and it all hits their faces.
superior.
The locals call this black silk scarf a veil. Everyone wraps the veil around their face, only revealing a pair of small eyes. You look at me and I look at you. It looks very funny.
Mao Xiaowu said: "I feel like a fucking terrorist now!"
The speed of the convoy could not be increased at all in such bad road conditions. The journey of more than 100 kilometers took only more than an hour on domestic highways and no more than two hours on ordinary roads. However, they traveled a full three hours.
For many hours, the average speed was 30 yards per hour, which was so slow that it made people panic.
About ten kilometers away from the Golden Eagle Jungle, the jeep stopped. Robin Hood called the Dragon Team members to get out of the car and started walking into the jungle.
Now that they were on rebel territory, they would be easily discovered by the rebel patrols if they continued to move forward by car, so Robin Hood asked the team members to move forward on foot for the remaining ten kilometers.
Each of them carries a combat bag on their back, which contains water, ammunition and spare medicines. Together with the equipment and firearms they wear, it also weighs seventy or eighty kilograms. For these well-trained special forces elites
, there is no feeling at all when the seventy or eighty kilograms are pressed on the back, and even Yang Xiaoxiao can easily carry it.
The sun was scorching in the sky, and high-intensity ultraviolet rays were scorching the earth, making the gravel on the ground hot. The heat was rising, and the team members felt like they were walking on a hot baking pan. Even wearing desert combat boots, they still felt unbearably hot.
The soles of their feet were burning. After all, they had barely fought in the desert and were not used to the natural environment here.
Finally, in the afternoon, Robin Hood and the Dragon team entered the Golden Eagle Jungle.
Everyone found a shady place at the edge of the jungle to stop and rest.
Mao Xiaowu took off his helmet and fanned himself, sweat rolling down like loose beads.
"What are you doing?" Robin Hood asked sharply.
"It's too hot with the helmet on. I took it off to cool off, otherwise my head would be dizzy!" Mao Xiaowu said.
"Put on your helmet!" Robin Hood ordered, with a serious face: "We have entered the enemy's range, and our lives will be in danger at any time. If a bullet flies at this time, you will be dead!"
"Yes!" Mao Xiaowu wiped his sweat and put his helmet back on obediently.
Robin Hood said seriously: "Remember, we can never take it lightly. From the first step we step into the Golden Eagle Jungle, the battle has already begun! Do you understand?"
