Chapter 1727: Life and Death Together
Lin Rui narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "I probably understand." We had seen their artillery positions when we were on the plane. These African rebels are not professional enough, they have no sense of concealment at all, but show off their might. Dust is not controlled when it is launched, and there is no concealed camouflage when it is stopped from launching. ”
"That's what it should be. Peng Lefeng nodded, "Their location is on the outskirts of Redstone Town, and it was there that they captured the artillery of the government army. These government troops are also very strange, they retreat if they can't fight and retreat, but when they retreat, they don't even destroy these artillery. After receiving the capture by the rebels, he directly turned the muzzle of the cannon and bombarded the city of Leita. ”
Lin Rui couldn't help but want to scold his mother, but he also knew that the quality of these African armies was like this, coupled with the defeat of the army, it was simply a rout, not a retreat. Naturally, I don't care about these artillery equipment.
Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "What about the other deployments?"
"They are currently besieging three sides of Leta, leaving only the road to Redstone. Redstone is under the control of the rebels. They just want to leave a gap for us to break out of Redstone. Peng Lefeng said in a low voice.
"It's smart that once we break through from Redstone, they'll take advantage of the situation to capture the capital, Leta. Let's not be the first to look at each other. Finally, he fell into a Jedi of mortality. Lin Rui looked at the map and groaned.
"We think so too, so Fenix has been keeping us in control of Leta City so that we can hold on to help. Until yesterday, the command was hit by a shell. Peng Lefeng said in a low voice. "He was right. But we don't have backup. ”
Lin Rui was silent for a while and said, "Actually, there is, but they are trapped north of Redstone Town and can't get through." ”
"You mean those government troops in Anmor?" Peng Lefeng frowned.
"Yes, if we can take Redstone, we can open the north-south passage, let those government troops rush to the capital, and also help us break the siege. This is the only way we can get out. Lin Rui stood there, looking at the map.
"I see, that's why you asked the actuary to go to General Coffey. Hope to get help from him. Peng Lefeng nodded.
"Yes. Lin Rui turned around and said, "But before that, we have to do one thing first. to relieve the pressure on Leta City. I need not only General Coffey's help, but you as well. I need a commando, I need volunteers. ”
Peng Lefeng stood up and said, "You know, we are." ”
"I understand, but I don't want to order you. I want you to volunteer to be part of my team. Because we used to train together, we were together in Siberia, and now we are here together. Lin Rui looked at these familiar faces around him and said in a low voice, "I'm back, and I will never betray you, because I know that you will not betray me either." I want all of you to live, but it's a tough battle, and maybe someone will die. But this man will not die in vain, because he will let the others live. ”
"Those of us have died more than once. Li Lidong stood up and said.
"That's right, if we come out together, even if we die, we will die together. Peng Lefeng said in a low voice.
"I'm joining!" a few more people stepped forward.
"I'll do it too, so instead of squatting here, let's go out and try my luck. Someone stood up and said.
Lin Rui nodded and said in a low voice, "Don't you want to know what I'm going to do?"
"Anyway, I know you won't hurt me. Peng Lefeng raised his head and said, "Say, what are your plans?"
"Take advantage of the night to get rid of that artillery position. Lin Rui said in a low voice. "Otherwise, those ten guns will put too much pressure on our defensive line. ”
Peng Lefeng frowned, "I've thought about this too, but we're going to touch the outskirts of Redstone Town at night. It was heavily defended by rebel troops. ”
"Yes. Lin Rui nodded. "So I need a squad that can fight at night and is big enough for emergencies. To be honest, I still remember each and every one of you, your habits and accents. But what I know about you is limited to the time we were training. So, Peng Lefeng, I want you to help me select ten people from among these volunteers. Ten people you think are the best fit for this mission. ”
Peng Lefeng nodded, "No problem, I'm one." ”
"Okay, you guys take your time, I'll go outside and see the state of the defenses. Come back later. Lin Rui patted him on the shoulder and said.
Lin Rui took a deep breath of air outside the bunker, the city had been turned into a rubble field, and the broken bricks and stones of high-rise buildings filled the streets and highways. The air smelled of gunpowder and blood. He didn't want to look at these comrades-in-arms again, he was afraid that he would suddenly relent. He wanted to get them out, but first he wanted them to risk their lives. It sounds sarcastic, but it's true.
He looked up at the dim sunlight, perhaps it wasn't dim, but the dust made it chaotic and dim. When Lin Rui turned around, he saw the actuary Jiang An coming over.
"How did you talk to General Coffey?" Lin Rui frowned.
"He was a stubborn warlord and full of distrust and suspicion of us. "I've made all the stakes clear to him, but he's still suspicious of us." It's like a rabbit that has been scared silly, refusing to trust anyone easily. The commanders are still like this, and those government forces can be imagined. ”
"I expected this to be the case, but I'll make him change his mind. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"You have an idea?" said Shogishi in a low voice.
"Remember the artillery position we saw on the plane?" Lin Rui whispered as he pointed in the direction of Redstone Town.
"Remember, you want to get rid of it?" Shogishi reacted quickly.
"General Coffey doesn't have trust in us, so we have to build trust, and if we don't get rid of this artillery position, I'm afraid this Leta City will really not be able to hold up for a few days under the shelling. And getting rid of them will boost the morale of the government army and those of us to a certain extent. Compared with the offensive of the rebels, the low morale during this period is the most fatal weakness at present. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
"I know what you mean, it's worse than we expected. Once General Coffey could not bear the pressure to surrender to the rebels. Then we mercenaries will really die without a place to bury. No one cares about us. Jiang Jian said in a low voice.
"Therefore, we need to let the brothers see the hope of survival, and we also want General Kofi to see that the government forces have the possibility of turning the tables. Only then can we move on to the next step. Lin Rui said in a low voice.
