Chapter 2249: Sand, Gasoline, Deserters

General Le Ansen's troops were rapidly mobilizing, and officers from all divisions were shouting loudly and directing their men to prepare for their departure. The rebels had limited vehicles, and it was difficult to transport 3,000 men. Among the vehicles transporting ammunition were even donkey carts with tractor tires and three-wheeled motorcycles that towed more than a dozen people. This is almost unimaginable in modern troops. However, it is still common in some parts of Africa among armed forces.

All kinds of tattered transporters, it's like they came out of the Museum of Nations. The vehicle commanders of the various units are still shouting vigorously and directing the passage of vehicles, because this place is too small, and when several vehicles meet each other, they are prone to collisions without command. These rusty, dilapidated vehicles really can't withstand many collisions.

"Report to the sir, the vehicle is assembled. ”

"It was reported that the loading of supplies was 70 percent complete, and it could be completed in two hours. "Black soldiers kept running over to report to their superiors. This oasis town, because of the large number of vehicles transferred, is full of engine roars and flying yellow dust. Rebel soldiers came and went in the smoke, preparing for the march.

"Looks like this group of African buddies under Le Anson are gambling with us. Crazy Horse whispered, "They want to make a show for us." ”

"It's a pity, let's not look. Wars are not for people to see. Lin Rui walked towards their truck without looking back. "Actuary, do you have any news from Cobain? From now on, I need his team to monitor the movements of the enemy army twenty-four hours a day. Especially in the area of Baisui Lan Town. ”

"Twenty minutes ago, he sent a few people from his team to help us monitor the enemy's movements, and there is nothing abnormal so far. The build-up of our troops here should not have alarmed the people of the Secret Society. The actuary whispered. "The rest of the surrounding area also responded. ”

Lin Rui looked down at his watch, "There are still nine hours, and we will officially start the operation." The people at Le Ansen didn't disappoint us this time, I checked it out and they were really pretty well prepared. The only problem is the lack of transport vehicles. Even a dozen people in a small pickup truck can't meet the transportation needs we want. ”

"I've seen it too, but it's the limit. We use the land frog jumping tactic, and if we transport it back and forth, we should be able to solve it reluctantly. Shogishi nodded.

"What about our people?" Lin Rui turned his head and said, "Sandro, Scar, how are you preparing?"

"It's fine, no problem. The truck we drove in was old, but it was top-of-the-line in the rebel camp, and at least it was air-conditioned. Sandro shrugged. "You don't see those African buddies looking at our car, their eyes just light up, like they're looking at a top-of-the-line Lamborghini. ”

"Don't give me, I'm asking about the preparations. Lin Rui waved his hand.

"All the supplies, ammunition and equipment have been loaded into the car, the antenna on the roof of the car has been installed and commissioned, and we can receive communications from the headquarters at any time. The side tailgate of the body, which I reinforced with Scarface with steel bar welding. The engine has been inspected and there is no problem with the condition. It's ready to hit the road, and it's okay to throw the convoy of these African dudes behind the ass. God, look at their cars, they look like Mad Max's convoy, or what they were after a serious car accident. Sandro jumped out of the car and couldn't help but make fun of the African guerrilla cars.

Lin Rui nodded, "Then check one side again, after all the preparations are completed." Our team members may have to work a little harder, each leading a team forward. Along the way, we had to listen to Cobain's unified arrangement and arrange for those guerrillas to take turns to change trains, so as to achieve the goal of transporting a large number of people in a small number of vehicles. This means that we will be busier than they are, they will only have to do what they are told, and we have to look at the whole picture, do we all understand?

"Understood, Boss. It's a simple matter, isn't it just to be Cobain's mouthpiece, where he designs the best delivery plan, and we ensure the smooth execution of his transportation. This kind of task is not difficult for us. Crazy Horse shrugged.

"Well, you just understand. Lin Rui nodded.

"Mr. Rick. Le Ansen walked over and looked at Lin Rui and the others.

"General, how is your situation?" Lin Rui leaned against the car and smiled.

"As you can see, although the scene is a bit chaotic, basically everything that should be moved is already moving. Some teams have already completed the entire team. Some may be slightly delayed due to car conditions. In addition, the fuel supply truck has been prepared. They will go one step ahead with the maintenance troops, setting up a zero-hour refueling point and repair station on the way. You know that most of these cars are not in very good condition. Such a temporary maintenance point is still very necessary. ”

"Very well thought out, General. Lin Rui nodded, "But you also know that this march is quite difficult, especially when there are too few vehicles. In order to ensure that we can complete this march on time, I hope that I will have partial command of this march. At least the troops in front must be at my disposal. ”

"I understand. I made it clear at the operational meeting that your military advisory group has my command authority. Le Ansen nodded.

"Thank you for your trust, General. Lin Rui nodded and looked at his watch, "From yesterday to now, we still have the last nine hours to prepare, and I think the troops who have completed the preparation should let the soldiers have enough rest." After all, tomorrow is going to be a tough day. ”

"Yes, you too. I'm sorry, but I still have some things to attend to. Le Ansen nodded to Lin Rui, then turned away.

While everyone was making their final preparations, there was a commotion in the distance, and several people pushed a black soldier over, beating and scolding all the way. The other black soldiers were also punching and kicking the soldier, shouting loudly.

"What's going on?" Lin Rui frowned.

"I don't know, it looks like a deserter. Scarface walked over and said. "I heard that when I was mobilizing a vehicle, I was about to run away by car and was arrested. ”

"This unlucky guy. The more you don't plant, the more troublesome it is. Sergei shrugged.

"What are they going to do with this guy?" said Yelena in a low voice.

"The practice of the guerrillas is usually to shoot or hang. Jiang An said in a low voice, "Morale is low, such a thing is inevitable." And catching the deserters and killing them is also something that must be done. A few minutes later, a gunshot rang out in a distant corner. Lin Rui didn't need to look at it, he knew the fate of that deserter.

In this oasis town with long yellow sand, death is not a terrible thing, but more like a daily occurrence. In the air that smelled of gasoline and dust, there was now more of blood.
