The armored car staggered, and the smell of diesel and engine oil mixed was in the cabin. Not only does it smell bad, but it also makes people feel uncomfortable with motion sickness.

Sun Lien himself never gets motion sickness, but in this environment, he feels that he may vomit at any time and anywhere - there are shooting holes in the armored car, and in order to make the occupants a little more comfortable, two of the eight shooting holes are opened. Occasionally, some cool breeze can blow in from outside, but the effect is limited to "a cool breeze blowing in".

But now no one dares to ask to stop and rest, Liu Tangchun has made it clear on the radio - everyone obeys the command in all actions. If Comrade Commander doesn't talk about resting, then no one dares to ask to stop the car and go down to vomit for a while. After all, people have already said that if you are really uncomfortable and want to vomit, you can vomit directly in the car.

Of course, the style of the troops is a little more simple and crude, but it is also beneficial. The contingent formed by the armoured convoy and the engineering convoy rolled forward without encountering any danger or obstacle on the way. Of course, there are dangers. About twenty minutes after leaving the camp, several unidentified militants fired in the direction of the convoy. However, because the distance was too far, the convoy was moving quickly, and after dozens of gunshots, not even a piece of paint was rubbed off the armored vehicle.

"Almost, in half an hour you will be able to rest. Comrade Commander's voice was not really heard in the rumbling noise, but Hu Chunbo still heard this and responded, "Comrade Commander, don't mess with us about your ability to fool a little girl - you have already said this three times!"

"I can really rest. The captain grinned, "The team commander asked us to stop and refuel in half an hour, don't worry, I can leave you at least half an hour to rest." ”

It is obviously not safe for convoys to refuel in the field. However, it is more dangerous for a vehicle to be unable to move in an emergency due to a lack of fuel than to refuel in a planned manner. Forty minutes later, the convoy stopped on an unobstructed plain. Armoured vehicles were parked on the perimeter, while fuel supply trucks and engineering vehicles were surrounded in the middle. The peacekeepers in the armored vehicle quickly got out of the vehicle and began to build defensive positions, while most of the doctors crawled out of the armored vehicle and vomited on the ground.

"Vomit...... Spit...... It's almost enough to spit out twice...... "Liu Tangchun was also one of the doctors who got out of the car and vomited. Lao Liu was an infantryman back then, and he had never experienced this kind of mechanized infantry. However, as the captain of the medical team, even if Liu Tangchun vomited, he had to remind the other doctors to try to collect it while vomiting, "After vomiting, take out the rehydration salt that was issued before and mix it into a water bottle to drink!"

Vomiting, especially severe vomiting, can cause a person to lose a lot of water, potassium and sodium. After a large loss of these substances and not being replenished, the human body may develop a variety of problems. In the most severe cases, there may be fatal problems such as cardiac arrest due to low blood potassium.

The effects of severe vomiting on the human body are very similar to those of heat stroke. Although there is no increase in body temperature, significant losses of water and substances such as potassium and sodium are consistent. Therefore, rehydration salts, which are often used to treat mild heat stroke, are one of the best ways to replace lost substances after vomiting.

Sun Lien helped Hu Jia with some distress, patting her gently on the back, while still trying to pour rehydration salts into his water bottle. At the same time, he was also dodging the dirt spit out by Hu Chunbo on the side. Anyway, the parking area is no different from vomit hell.

After vomiting for a while, the peacekeepers next to him looked a little disgusted and wanted to vomit, when several slowly falling white points of light suddenly appeared in the sky on the northeast side of the defensive position.

"Hide!" the commanders kicked the vomiting doctors to the ground. Then, regardless of the vomit on their bodies, they dragged their clothes with both hands and threw them into the car. Almost at the same time as the commanders moved, the infantrymen pulled the bolts in unison. The "click" sound of hundreds of people pulling the bolt at the same time is very reassuring to listen to.

"What's going on?" Sun Lien moved very quickly, he directly dragged Hu Jia into the armored car he was sitting in, and at the same time kicked Hu Chunbo, who was leaning against the door and vomiting. He himself squinted at the dots of light—they were glaring, and they were falling at a speed that clearly didn't look like some man-made object capable of flying on its own.

"It's flares. The commander of Sun Lien's armored car narrowed his eyes, "Don't move when you get into the car, you may have to prepare to meet the enemy." ”

"Everyone, pay attention, do not start the vehicle, implement light control and radio control!" The commander was about to enter the combat position, but the shout of the leading colonel came from outside, "Enter the vehicle and standby!"

The flares flew very high in the sky, and judging by the more than 40 seconds of air time, this was probably a flare fired by a 120-mm heavy mortar. However, the area illuminated by the flares was at least forty kilometers away from the defensive positions. The group of unidentified militants, who were using mortar lighting, was about 60 kilometres away from the defensive positions.

"How did you get there?" Liu Tangchun has been retired for many years, but this basic sensitivity is still there. When on the Laoshan front, firing flares was a means that would only be used by the troops when they were attacking on a large scale at night. No one is going to use heavy mortar flares to set off fireworks. "It's not for us, is it?"

The Grand Corrector was about to speak, but suddenly saw a burst of orange-red flash in the area under the flare quickly appear and then disappear. He frowned, and glanced at the map from the staff officer next to him.

"That area is the city of Mekula......" the colonel looked at the map for a moment, then clenched his fist, "It's the rebels attacking the town." ”

For the team, the firefight in the distance wasn't directed at them – and that's good news. But for the officers and soldiers of the peacekeeping force, they cannot exert any influence on watching a war happen in front of them. The grievances and anger in their hearts made everyone clench their fists.

Modern warfare and the kind of siege warfare of the Middle Ages are not the same concept. Under the cover of heavy mortars and even howitzers, it looks like a modern town or a medieval castle fortress. And shelling on this scale will only have one result in the end - a mass death of local garrisons and civilians.

In a way, a sudden artillery attack on a town is no different in nature from a massacre.

"Fuel replenishment is speeding up, all vehicles must be on the move within ten minutes!" the colonel closed his eyes and gave the order after a moment of silence.

Mekula is a town that sprang up because of transportation and trade. It got its name Mekula entirely because of the fact that there is a Mekula Hill on the east side of the city. The sudden appearance of mountain peaks in the savanna can provide excellent observation conditions. It's seven o'clock in the evening, and it's just getting dark. Night operations are useful for evading possible observation posts on Mount Meraku, which greatly reduces the risk of attack on the convoy.

Sun Lien hugged Hu Jia in his arms, and suddenly felt the movement of the vehicle starting. He showed a somewhat helpless smile to Hu Jia, "It seems that you have to faint for a while." ”
