Chapter Twenty-Six: The Killing by the Acacia Tree, Isabel rode a camel and took the young brothers and sisters of the Tuareg tribe to the desert oasis.

The tall camel was still running very fast, and someone had already seen through the monitor set up on the date palm tree that it was the white woman and the Boy Scout of the tribe of the expedition, and Isabel was not hindered, and rode the camel directly from the south into the middle of the east-west desert oasis.

A Tuareg man repeatedly shook Isabel with the muzzle of an AK47 assault rifle, and whispered to Isabel to cooperate with him, Isabel jumped off the camel quite cooperatively, and did not look at the two Tuareg ladies behind him leading the camel away, but just spoke the skillful Tuareg language, and asked the big man with the gun to take her to meet the tribal leader.

The big man was quite satisfied with Isabel's cooperation, and led the way in front of the quick gesturing, Isabel was in the center, and two other big men with guns walked behind to monitor the entourage, and the four people walked left and right in the flat room made of sand in the middle of the desert oasis.

Isabel observes the situation of the tribe's aborigines, and finds that the Tuareg villagers, old and weak, women and children, in this desert oasis, continue to move according to their daily routines, even if there are big men with guns in the corners of the bungalows, the villagers still do what they should do.

As an outstanding anthropologist, the ability to observe and deduce analysis is very strong, and Isabel soon discovers that in this desert oasis tribe, there is obviously an alien Tuareg tribal force, a normal desert aboriginal tribe, there are not so many young and middle-aged men!

When passing by an adobe bungalow, Isabel looked through the unclosed wooden door, and found that there was a desktop computer on a table in the bungalow, some small instruments and equipment were placed next to it, and two big men with scarves were guarding the side.

Isabel, who continued to walk forward, was still thinking about the power supply in the monitoring room, and when she looked back, she found that there were several unfolded solar panels on the roof of a desert yellow painted off-road vehicle behind the bungalow, which was difficult to find because of the adobe house.

Isabel thought for a moment, the whole tribe was in a strange and tense atmosphere, as if it was guarding against an invasion of foreign enemies, could it be that there were once desert robbers who attacked this tribe?

Isabel saw the gun-wielding man leading the way to the door of a bungalow and stopped, and stood to the side to signal that the leader of the Isabel tribe was in the bungalow.

Isabel was about to push open the wooden door when she heard a burst of gunfire and turned her head to look out at the desert sand at the end of her vision, high in the desert sand, a dozen obviously modified off-road vehicles and large pickup trucks drove out from behind a sand dune, driving quickly towards the oasis and rolling up a cloud of sand and dust.

Isabel immediately used the glasses on her waist and was surprised when she looked closely!

In front of the telescope lens, you can clearly see that on the speeding car, there are many big men wearing various colored undershirts and trousers covering their faces with scarves, waving the guns in their hands and firing wantonly, many people are wrapped in various bullet belts, some people have grenades hanging on their belts around their waists, Isabel even saw that in the cargo box of a pickup truck, there is an anti-aircraft machine gun supported by a tripod, and the chain full of yellow bullets looks chilling in the sun!

Amid the noise of the Tuareg tribesmen firing back with guns on the outskirts of the oasis, Isabel immediately determined that this was because of the unstable situation in neighboring Mali and the armed bandits who crossed the desert border to do evil, no matter what these people did before, and now they are driving with weapons and coming violently, obviously trying to ransack this oasis tribe.

Unexpectedly, the story of the "wolf coming" of the Tuareg tribe sister and brother really happened, Isabel took the binoculars and immediately opened the wooden door to see the situation in the house, and quickly roared in Arabic, reminding the three people in the house that it is better to resist those desert robbers at the same time, this is the most urgent matter.

As soon as Isabel finished speaking, Dahan, the leader of the Tuareg tribe, who was standing in front of Song Xiaoshuang, walked to the corner of the wall and took down the two AK47 assault rifles hanging on the wall, one to Isabel and the other to Song Xiaoshuang.

I saw the two skillfully inspect the weapons in their hands, pull the bolt and load the bullet.

The leader walked to the wooden cabinet again, opened the wooden cabinet door, threw a few AK magazines full of bullets, and didn't see if Song Xiaoshuang and Isabel caught it, and then threw two black lacquered pistols and a number of pistol magazines to the female leader, he picked up the huge revolver, grabbed a bullet with his big hand and put it in the pocket on the side of the robe, closed the wooden cabinet door and spoke in Arabic quickly and in a low voice, indicating that he went out first to command the soldiers to defend against the enemy, and then dodged out of the adobe bungalow.

The whole process is only a few tens of seconds, and it can be seen that it is an old fritter that has been tested by war for a long time, and the strain ability and reaction speed belong to the first-class level.

At this time, the firearms exchanged throughout the desert oasis became more and more dense, and the roar of the off-road vehicle engine could be clearly heard!

The female leader who covered her face with a scarf was not easy to match, seeing that Song Xiaoshuang and Isabel were just checking the situation of the firearms with guns in their hands, and they didn't look like they wanted to make trouble, the female leader was a little relieved.

After the tribal leader walked out with the revolver, the female leader carried the two pistols in her hand, and did not put the pistol magazine in the pocket of her robe like the leader, but walked to the wall and took off the backpack, unzipped it and took out a tactical belt from it and quickly tied it to her waist, and the pistol magazine was quickly inserted into the pistol magazine bag on the tactical belt, and the backpack was thrown onto the broken wooden table by her, and she said in Arabic in a cold tone: "There are two tactical vests in the backpack, you have to take it yourself!" ”

After the female leader finished speaking, she turned around and left, Isabel graduated from a small arms shooting club after all, and she was somewhat equipped with the idea of only equipment, and she had already inserted a few AK magazines in the pockets and trouser pockets of the expedition team's uniforms (the cloth pockets of the field surgery team uniforms were many and could put a lot of things), and she was about to go out, when she heard the female leader say this, Isabel looked happy, although there was no light body armor in the backpack, it was not bad to have a tactical vest to arm it, at least she could bring a lot of ammunition, although Isabel was wearing black-framed glasses, but her eyes are like thieves, and there are still a lot of AK magazines in the wooden cabinet that closes the door.

Isabel held the gun in one hand and was about to take out the tactical vest from the backpack on the table, when she saw Song Xiaoshuang, who had several magazines in the pocket of her robe, hanging the gun around her neck with a gun belt, grabbed the backpack and poured the contents on the table, without looking at what was poured out, she walked quickly to the wooden cabinet with the empty backpack, and poured all the AK magazines full of bullets in the wooden cabinet into the backpack.

Isabel was picking up a photograph from her desk that had not been plasticized and looked at it, the image on it had become a little blurry, but she could still make out that it was a group photo of two Arab father and daughter in the background of a sunset in an oasis in the desert.

The father has a beard and a white robe, and he looks like a hero, but the daughter is dressed in a desert yellow training uniform, with a tactical holster with a pistol stuck in the waistband, although the face is ordinary but heroic.

Isabel, who was accustomed to analyzing data, also wanted to find some details from the photos, and found Song Xiaoshuang's frenzied search for ammunition, Isabel frowned her forehead and said quickly in Chinese: "Song Xiaoshuang, are you crazy?" Can you move quickly with ammo in a backpack? ”

Song Xiaoshuang put the backpack on his back without looking back, and said in a cold tone: "I am carrying the backpack for the time being, in fact, this is for you, the tribe's arsenal will not be the only here, listening to the sound of the firefight, the situation in the oasis is not good, it seems that I still have to bring these two boxes of things."

Half a minute later, Isabel stuck out her tongue and trotted out of the bungalow with Song Xiaoshuang, because Song Xiaoshuang was carrying a backpack with many magazines, and two overlapping wooden boxes on his shoulders, which were full of bullets wrapped in oiled paper.

Soon Isabel's attention turned to the indigenous people of the Tuagrave tribe in the oasis and the armed robbers who were attacking.

Isabel's eyes were almost on fire, she didn't expect the situation to get extremely bad in a matter of minutes!

Along the way, you can always see the injured Tuareg who is not good at walking, shouting in a low voice, being carried by strong Arab women to several bungalows in the heart of the oasis.

The adobe bungalows there were used for religious ceremonies, and the reason why the oasis still exists today is because of the fact that there is an artesian well nearby, which has a lot to do with the fact that it flows with clear spring water all year round.

The bungalows used for religious worship seem to be the same as ordinary bungalows, but in fact the structure is far more solid and complex than other adobe houses, and the walls alone are more than twice as thick as ordinary bungalows, and even if the robbers have bazookas or recoilless guns, it is difficult to blow up the walls with just a few shells.

Fortunately, the tribe had already anticipated in advance, and after discovering that there was an invasion of armed robbers, more than 100 old and weak women and children in the desert oasis gathered in these adobe bungalows for a very short time under the cover of the men, and did not suffer from the killing of the armed robbers, and there were no armed Tuareg men around the bungalows to guard, because if the armed robbers could attack here, it meant that the men were almost dead.

At first, armed robbers driving more than a dozen off-road vehicles once relied on the mobility of off-road vehicles to break through the bungalows of the oasis settlement, but then they were set on fire by the tribe's armed men and smashed the off-road vehicles, and the armed robbers who were still alive in the vehicles withdrew under alternate cover.

The battle situation has become a state of repeated entanglement, the entire desert oasis has been consciously divided into several areas by armed robbers, and the two sides have repeatedly fought for control, and the acacia tree at the entrance to the west of the oasis is also the place where the battle is more fierce!

Because the tree was tall enough to look down on the oasis, if a few good marksmen were deployed, the tribe would have suffered heavy losses after a snipe, but this vital acacia tree was still in the hands of the Tuareg tribe man.

These tribal men were not stupid, and did not stay in the trees, but hid around a few bungalows close to the trees, waiting for the armed bandits to sneakily try to get close to the trees before firing fire.

As for the roof of the house, no one will go up at all, because on the sand dunes a few hundred meters away, there are still two off-road vehicles, a pickup truck and some bandits who did not participate in the direct attack on the oasis, not to mention whether there are snipers or not, the anti-aircraft machine gun in the cargo box of the pickup truck, although it has not fired, has been eyeing the tiger, who goes to the roof is immediately exposed, and it is a terrible thing to be strafed by large-caliber machine gun bullets.

Many Tuareg men with AK47s were covered in blood, desperately driving out the armed robbers who had burst into the bungalows of the oasis residents, and then collapsed next to the adobe bungalows they defended.

Unlike the fall of the Tuareg men of the tribe in droves, those armed robbers because of their sophisticated weapons and a certain degree of tactical literacy, often the casualties of a few Tuareg men can only be exchanged for the killing of an armed robber.

What made Isabel very angry was that when Isabel and Song Xiaoshuang rushed to an adobe bungalow on the front line of the firefight, the older sister of Miss Tuareg, who had been together for a few days and called her aunt, was lying in the arms of a Tuareg man who was kneeling on the ground with weak hands and a weak breath, she was hit in the right lung by a small-caliber stray bullet, and her well-fitting robe was covered with blood stains and blood bubbles were constantly bubbling in her mouth.

Isabel had some experience in first aid, and after a little examination, she was a little sad to know that this little girl, who was only ten years old, would not last long unless it was a miracle.

The big man Tuagray saw Isabel with a gun checking the little girl's injuries, thinking that she could have a way to save the little girl's life, and in the piercing gunshots, the big man shouted to save the little girl, the little girl was the daughter of the chief, and the leader was organizing the tribe big man to fight back against the invasion of the robbers near the bungalow next to the acacia tree at this time, and he didn't know that his daughter was hit by a stray bullet.

Isabel was about to shake her head and tell the big man very cruelly that she couldn't save the little girl, Song Xiaoshuang, who was carrying two wooden boxes of bullets, put down the wooden box quickly, gestured to the two Tuareg big men passing by to carry away the urgently needed bullet wooden box, and walked over to the little girl.

Song Xiaoshuang said with a serious expression on his face: "Isabel, tell this Tuareg man that if he can find a good disposable infusion set in the off-road vehicle abandoned by the robbers near the surrounding bungalows, and return as quickly as possible, the little girl will be saved!" ”
