Chapter 107: The Smoke of the Village

The convoy of the extremist rebels ran out of the col behind the Pingba village, the wheels rolling up countless dust, and it seemed that it was less than a kilometer away from the village, while the three civilian off-road vehicles that Sima Yuru was in were only a few hundred meters away from the big tree at the entrance of the village!

Sima Yuru, who was sitting in the lead car, made a quick decision, spoke French quickly, and signaled Alfs, a black mercenary driving an off-road vehicle, to speed up and rush to the entrance of the village to occupy the favorable terrain.

More than a dozen male and female mercenaries of different colors, including Alfs, are all clever and intelligent people who have a good grasp of the overall situation, although Liang Li temporarily signaled the mercenaries to accept Sima Yuru's command before going out to reconnoiter in civilian clothes, and the mercenaries secretly complained about Sima Yuru, feeling that she was too far behind Liang Li, but they were afraid of Liang Li's authority or temporarily obeyed Sima Yuru's orders.

Now that there was an emergency, and seeing that a sudden encounter was about to start, Sima Yuru's order was still very appropriate, and three off-road vehicles carrying mercenaries drove wildly on the dirt road, and finally rushed to the big tree at the entrance of the village before the convoy of extreme rebel forces.

The three off-road vehicles braked in unison at the entrance of the village, and in the piercing sound of brakes, more than a dozen male and female mercenaries did not wait for the off-road vehicles to stop, and had already jumped out of the car with weapons, and quickly deployed into a battle formation with tacit understanding, occupying the favorable terrain near the entrance of the village.

Before Sima Yuru and the others arrived at the entrance of the village, the soldiers of several tribal armed detachments who were originally waiting next to the big tree had already noticed that the armed convoy of extremist rebels rushing out of the mountain col behind the diagonal had scattered in battle formation at a super speed, leaving only one tribal soldier waiting for Sima Yuru and the others, coordinating the tribal fighters and mercenaries to deal with the sudden appearance of the extremist armed convoy.

The time from Sima Yuru's discovery of the appearance of the extremist rebel armed convoy to the mercenaries starting the battle formation was extremely short, and the Tuareg villagers, whether adults or children, who were doing farm work in the land near the village and grazing donkeys and goats, found that after the convoy of the extremist rebel armed forces rushed out of the mountain col, the villagers who were far away from the village quickly hid in the place next to the bushes behind the gravel, and did not stupidly run back to the direction of the village on the sandy dirt road, which would only become a live target for the guns of the extremist rebel forces!

The villagers who were closer to the village ran quickly back to the vicinity of the sandy bungalows in the village, and hid their bodies through the houses, and even the old woman who was sitting on the stone bench under the big tree at the entrance of the village and looked old and smoking dirt cigarettes did not slow down and hid in the corners of the nearby bungalows, and she could not see that she was about to die.

The villagers of this village in Pingba, a river valley, have long been mentally prepared for the armed raid of the village by the extreme rebels, and the walls of the sand-and-earth bungalows everywhere are full of bullet holes, and there are many fewer large branches at the entrance of the village, obviously this is not the first time that this has happened!

"Tong Tong Tong Tong"

"Dada!"

While Sima Yuru and the mercenaries carried weapons in formation and concealed themselves in various parts of the village, more than a dozen off-road vehicles and pickup trucks full of armed members of the extremist rebels had already advanced at high speed from the diagonal rear to more than 200 meters at the entrance of the village. The few remaining branches of the big tree at the entrance of the village broke off a few more, and the green branches and leaves smashed on the sandy land, splashing countless sand and dust. Hundreds of armed members of the extremist rebels, wearing sweatshirts, trousers and scarves to cover their faces, sat in the trunk of the off-road vehicle and the back of the pickup truck, holding AK74 assault rifles to shoot long shots and strafing in the direction of the village, holding their own anti-aircraft machine guns to cover fire, arrogantly shouting in Arabic and French, and shouting for the slaughter of the villagers.

Under the cover fire of the anti-aircraft machine guns, seeing that the extremist rebels were armed and carrying several off-road vehicles and pickup trucks carrying armed members, they had already broken through to a distance of more than 100 meters from the entrance of the village, and Sima Yuru and more than a dozen mercenaries, who were hiding in a hidden corner with weapons in their hands, continued to pull the trigger of the modified AK74 assault rifle in their hands, nor did they fire grenades with automatic grenade launchers, and the general-purpose machine gun and sniper rifle also fired.

Because the tribal warriors who were waiting for Sima Yuru and others to rush to the entrance of the village, before Sima Yuru and the mercenaries jumped out of the off-road vehicle, they had already used skillful sign language to signal everyone to temporarily hide and prevent being killed and injured by the high-powered armor-piercing bullets of anti-aircraft machine guns, and the village had an effective plan for the armed raid of the extreme rebels.

The situation was urgent, Sima Yuru didn't have time to ask for details, in Sima Yuru's mind, the tribal warriors armed by the tribe should be equipped with Soviet-style bazookas and light recoilless guns, with these two magic weapons, there is no big problem in dealing with off-road vehicles and pickups without armor protection.

Sima Yuru, who was shooting at the dead end, listened to the sound of the terrifying anti-aircraft machine gun bullets piercing the wall in his ears, and the frantic cries of the armed members of the extreme rebels, and was guessing that the armed warriors of the tribe in the village were slow to launch a counterattack against the extreme rebels who broke through to the entrance of the village, and a few short and piercing whistles suddenly sounded.

82-mm mortars, mortar bayonet tactics!

Hearing the short and piercing whistle, Sima Yuru and more than a dozen mercenaries changed their faces, this whistle sound was clearly the unique sound of a certain type of 82mm mortar firing mortar shells at a nearby target, the shells moving in a curved motion in the air, and it was several mortars fired together!

Sima Yuru was very suspicious that the tribal warriors were so bold in using mortar bayonet tactics in the village, and Liang Li and Song Xiaoshuang played a role in this.

Sima Yuru did not forget that in the desert of northern Mali, Song Xiaoshuang, who was very strong personally, was injured by a mortar shell at close range, and it was difficult to guarantee that this guy would not learn and use it now, so he encouraged the soldiers of the tribal armed detachment guarding the village to adopt mortar bayonet tactics, calibrate and shoot Zhu Yuan in advance, and put the convoy of the extreme rebel army close to it and then hit it with mortars, which played the role of killing and injuring a large number of living forces.

Armed tribal fighters unexpectedly fired mortar shells from hidden areas in the village, which were used to hit the extremist rebels near the entrance of the village, and the shells took on an almost n-shaped curve in the air and smashed headlong into several off-road vehicles and pickup trucks carried by the armed members of the extremist rebels at the entrance of the village.

The mortar shells fired from the mortars that had long been calibrated to shoot at Zhuyuan continued to explode on the sandy ground at the entrance of the village, and sand and dust were everywhere!

The two off-road vehicles and the armed members of the extreme rebels on the vehicles were directly hit by several 82-mm mortar shells, the off-road vehicles were destroyed and set on fire, and the armed members on the vehicles were blown into countless pieces of flesh and could not die again, and several other vehicles were overturned one after another by the air wave of the explosion, and the armed members of the extreme rebels on the vehicles were either shocked to death by the shock wave of the shell explosion, and were directly hung up by the key points hit by the lethal fragments, or they were crushed, crushed and vomited blood by the overturned and deformed body of the vehicle, and there were no living wounded at all.

The armed members of the extreme rebels who had been hit by the sudden attack were obviously blinded by this strange artillery tactic, and the armed members of the rebel armed rebels who were carrying anti-aircraft machine guns in the rear cargo box as cover firing were rapidly reversing and exiting the entrance of the village, when a series of piercing whistles sounded again in an instant
