Chapter 1270: Lack of Fuel
When Lin Rui and Jiang An were talking, Rose came over from the side. He sat down on the ground a little tired, opened his kettle, took a sip, and whispered, "It's not good." ”
"What?" Lin Rui said as he looked at him.
"This encounter was unexpected, and although we repelled the Order, General Wollman's troops suffered considerable damage, and I fear that their morale will continue to be low. Rose whispered, "This will affect our work in some way." ”
"You're putting it too politely. In this kind of large-scale battle, the role of our O2 is strictly limited. We can only protect Wolman, and the main combat mission still depends on the men of General Wolman. Even if we are a few dozen of us, we can't fight against thousands of people. Crazy Horse shook his head.
"But you're underestimating Wollman's troops. Although they are not very military and undisciplined, they are not as fragile as you think. "They're used to bloodshed and death, they may be sad, but they'll be fine soon." The optimism and cheerfulness of the African nation is beyond the comprehension of Jews like you. ”
"Is this discrimination against us Jews?" said the gun.
"Of course not, this is in terms of national character. You Jews are mostly intelligent and delicate, but you are also prone to depression and anxiety. But these people are different, they were born in Africa and grew up in the midst of endless wars and famines. They don't even have much time to spend with melancholy and sadness because they have to live. And they love life more than any other people. They can quickly recover from grief and devastation. "Shogan said slowly.
The words of the general are right, these black soldiers were crying very sadly just now, but in the blink of an eye they all silently sorted out their equipment and vehicles and hit the road again. A black soldier takes off his boots from the feet of his dead comrade and puts them on himself. Because he doesn't need it anymore.
This seems to many people to be somewhat incomprehensible. Couldn't a comrade-in-arms just be sacrificed and let him walk with a little dignity, and even have to take off his shoes? But in their opinion, it is normal. They also don't mind that after they die, their shoes will be stripped of their shoes and they will walk barefoot on Huangquan Road. You can't say that this concept is problematic, it's just that death has a different understanding of different cultures.
"Keep up, keep up, everybody get moving. Don't let me kick you in the ass!" General Wolman, still bareheaded, roared in the command car, he made this appearance on purpose, because anyone can be weak, but as a commander, he can't. He had to be strong, even rough. Just like the lion on the African savannah, only a strong and rugged lion can become the leader of the lion pack.
Lin Rui waved his hand to his brothers, signaling them to follow Wollman's side and pay attention to protection at all times. He himself was crammed into the same car as Wolman.
"Damn! This weather has disrupted our plans. We should have been moving faster than we are now. Wollman whispered. "The rain slowed our march, which would have led the pursuers of the Order to get too close to us. This is not a good thing, in order to reopen the distance, we have to march faster and rest less. ”
And in doing so, it will make the already tired soldiers even more tired. and even affect combat effectiveness. Lin Rui nodded.
"According to our latest intelligence, these Secret Society forces have not given up, and after a brief replenishment, they are still chasing after us in the back. If it weren't for this shower, we wouldn't have fallen into such an awkward situation. Wollman sighed. "And we are marching continuously, and fuel supply is a problem. ”
Lin Rui frowned and said, "What's the matter, wasn't you fully prepared before?"
"Of course, we are well prepared, but now we are marching continuously, constantly taking the armed men of the Order in circles. There aren't many opportunities to be able to stop and replenish. "But if we don't refuel, most of our vehicles will be gas-free." If we further weaken our mobile combat capability, we will be dragged to death by the other side. ”
"Is there anything nearby that can be replenished?" Lin Rui frowned, "As the Earth Emperor of this place, don't you have a spare oil storage point?"
"Of course there is, but not here!" Wollman shook his head and waved to the lieutenant beside him, "Bring me the map." ”
The black officer immediately brought the map. Wollman pointed to the map, "This is our current location, this is the road." But in order to prevent the other side from figuring out our marching route, they took a blockade. We have to take a detour of the road and take other paths.
And in this location, is the settlement of a mining town. I had stored a quantity of oil and ammunition there before the war, not for that situation, but to stabilize mining production. After the start of the war, work was stopped there. But that supply is still there, and I still have a small force of guards there. ”
"Isn't that okay? We'll go straight over and resupply, and then use the town to rest for a while. If this continues, most of the soldiers will be exhausted. They are people, not machines. They need to eat something, get a comforting night's sleep, and preferably have a mouthful of hot soup. Crazy Horse frowned.
"But if we can think of that, the people of the Order will be able to think of it. Lin Rui groaned.
"Yes, that's what I'm worried about. If they knew about my refueling point, they would have tried to set a trap and wait for us to get in. I can't take such a risk. Wollman shook his head. "If I don't go there, I'll have to go one other way, turn around and head west. Three hundred kilometers away, in the city of Catol, the garrison there remained loyal to me. We can be replenished there. ”
"Three hundred kilometers, if you can march motorized, it's not a big problem. But you don't have enough vehicles at the moment, what if you have most of the infantry left? Even if you lead the team first, then the infantry behind you can't keep up with it. Shogishi looked at the map and frowned.
"Maybe you can send a convoy to get fuel first. Then the others marched in that direction. This will allow you to do both. Crazy Horse thought for a moment.
"It doesn't work, according to the current pace of the Order's armies. During this time, I am afraid that we have already been caught up by the people of the Secret Society. Lin Rui shook his head and said, "This plan seems to be safe, but it is actually more dangerous than temporary supplies, and it is more full of uncertainty. ”
General Wolman nodded, "Yes, the current state of the troops, I am also worried about whether they can march three hundred kilometers continuously." If it doesn't work, we'll have to go to that town."
