Chapter 63: The Strong
As the hoofs of the camels flew, more than 20 tribal warriors riding on camels broke into the entrance of the cave at the end of the canyon.
I saw the broken corpses of armed bandits all over the ground, the shattered parts of anti-aircraft machine guns everywhere, the gray-brown rock of the mine with splashes of blood, and the occasional dull gunfire in the mine, but it sounded a little vague, it seemed to come from the depths of the mine, and the smell of blood at the mouth of the mine had not yet dissipated.
With a wave of his hand, Farhad was riding on the camel with a veil to cover his face, and many tribal warriors shouted and drove the camel to kneel and lie prone on the sand.
Seeing that the tribal warriors around him had already arrived on the sand, Farhad shouted in Tuareg in a low voice: "We still have time, we have sacrificed so many tribal warriors, that is, to rescue the tribal villagers of the tribes who were caught by the rebel armed bandits in the mine, and he can't let Rashad pick up such a wicked person to pick up cheap, he wants to control the mind control device of the human brain, and wants to completely control our brave and warlike Tuareg tribe, but it has been blown up by me, no matter what weird things are in the mine, they will be blown up with bombs, Do you understand? ”
"Rashad can't be allowed to succeed, we are the Tuaregs, the indigenous people of the desert"
More than 20 warriors from various tribes, including Ellie Ham, raised their AK74 assault rifles in their hands and whispered in Tuareg, expressing their great agreement with the words of Farhad, the leader of the oasis tribe.
Before everyone's words fell, more than a dozen tribal warriors rode camels to the vicinity of the mine cave entrance and grabbed the reins, a tribal warrior carrying an AK74 assault rifle did not wait for the camel to lie prone on the sand, had already jumped down from the camel's back and stood on the sand, looked at the two tribal leaders of Farhad and Elham Ilham, and said in Tuareg in a respectful tone: "Two leaders, we took advantage of the fact that the soldiers of the army slowed down their attacks to reduce casualties, and got two general-purpose machine guns and one heavy machine gun from the dead soldiers and armed bandits. An automatic grenade launcher and several bullets and grenades! ”
"Okay, bring weapons into the mine to rescue the tribal villagers, don't rush in without an order, form a combat group, kill all the armed bandits in sweatshirts and trousers, don't scatter too many holes in the mine, follow me!"
Fahad took the lead in setting an example, and found a number of magazines full of bullets from the velvet blanket wrapped in the camel saddle belt, and a lot of grenades were all carried on his body, and after the magazine pocket of the tactical vest on his chest was full of magazines, he directly inserted the magazine into the woven belt around the waist of the robe, and the grenades were naturally hung on the belt, because there were really a lot of grenades, and Farhad also moved the simple rubber gas mask and flat water bottle on the belt.
Seeing that everyone was almost ready, and the elite tribal warriors using general-purpose machine guns, heavy machine guns, and automatic grenade launchers were also ready, Farhad looked at him, and spoke in Tuareg in a bold and heroic tone, and before the words fell, he had already rushed into the mine with guns in his hand, and more than forty tribal warriors from various tribes followed behind Farhad and Eliham, and rushed into the mine in a basic battle formation
Two minutes later, a six-wheeled infantry chariot covered with bullet marks rolled up sand and dust and rushed to a stop dozens of meters away from the entrance of the mine, the engine had not yet turned off, and two four-wheeled off-road military vehicles with no windshield in the cab arrived one after another, and dozens of soldiers wearing helmets covered in sand and dust and gunpowder smoke lifted the tailgate of the cargo box and jumped to the sand with their guns, and then went down to the car with a lot of ammunition in wooden boxes.
After the door of the crew compartment of the six-wheeled chariot was opened, the major, limping with a bandage on his thigh, stepped on the sand.
The Major's face was covered with gray and black soot, and he held the AK74 assault rifle on his waist with a gun belt and held it on the outside of the trigger guard with one hand, and there was no tactical vest on his body, several magazines were randomly inserted into the belt and attached to the training uniform, a rubber gas mask hung on one side of the belt, and there was a bullet hole in the sleeve of the desert yellow training uniform that was penetrated by a stray bullet.
Fahad and Eliham move so fast, so I'm relieved!
The major saw that there were a lot of camels near the entrance of the mine, and he whispered to himself.
Flying from the infantry chariot was Captain Farid, who was also attached to his shoulder with a gun strap and a pistol, and Captain Farid was fully armed like an ordinary soldier, with a lightweight helmet, a tactical vest, a belt, a gas mask, and a military flat water bottle. In addition, a 9 mm caliber ** was attached to the waist with a quick-draw gun, and Farid's shoulder training uniform had a tear, and it was still oozing blood, which should have been grazed by a flying stray bullet.
Rashad, the head of the first division of the intelligence bureau in his fifties, wearing a desert yellow training uniform, jumped out of the crew compartment covered in dust and walked to the major.
Rashad was simply outfitted, with a pistol on his waist and a gas mask on the other, followed by two equally dressed agents with assault rifles and tactical vests without rank.
Seeing Farid speaking Arabic at a very fast speed, shouting at dozens of soldiers to sort out their weapons and ammunition, and prepare to rush into the mine, the muscles on Rashad's face trembled, and he looked at the major next to him and said in Arabic in a low tone: "Major Bashar, what's going on, there are still many armed bandits in the canyon who are stubbornly resisting, how can you let Farhad and Eliham lead those dirt buns into the mine?" ”
For Rashad's groundless accusations, the major was not angry at all, the tribal warriors made great sacrifices in order to be cannon fodder to attract the firepower of armed bandits, but the major knew that there was nothing to say to an intelligence chief, these people were heartless cold-blooded animals, and this person's temperament can be seen from Rassad's attitude towards the tribal warriors.
The major didn't look back and said directly: "Rashad, how long has it been since you rode a camel?" If you come on a camel, you are already deep in the mine, and if you don't ride a camel, you can only go up on the chariot. Captain ready, let's go into the mine! ”
At the end of the major's words, he turned to Captain Farid, and after seeing Farid nodding, the major gave him a look, and Farid waved his arm and rushed into the huge mine with dozens of soldiers.
Five minutes ago, Song Xiaoshuang, Isabel, and Fatuna rushed into the entrance of the mine with weapons and a width of more than 10 meters, and after rushing into more than 10 meters, they met several armed bandits who were rushing out with guns.
Fatuna didn't do anything at all, Song Xiaoshuang held the handle of the general-purpose machine gun in one hand, pulled the trigger with the other, and swept away the few bullets in the bullet chain box, and the bullet casings flew sideways with the piercing echo of the mine, and several armed bandits were all swept to the ground with blood, and they were not alive.
Seeing that there was a general-purpose machine gun of the same model on the stone ground, Song Xiaoshuang stepped forward to remove the bullet chain box that did not shoot a few bullets, and replaced the empty bullet chain box on his general-purpose machine gun, Isabel didn't say anything when she saw Song Xiaoshuang behaving like this, the rifling of the general-purpose machine gun on the ground was almost smoothed, and Song Xiaoshuang's shooting skills were very poor, and he definitely wouldn't use a general-purpose machine gun that was about to be scrapped.
After seeing Fatuna and Song Xiaoshuang on the side, Isabel quickly squatted down and rummaged through several corpses to see if there were any grenades, and she also looked at the corpses outside the mine just now, but she didn't find that the armed bandits were equipped with grenades, this time with better luck, Isabel found more than a dozen grenades of two types, all of which were hung on her belt.
After wiping the blood stains on the clothes of the armed bandits, she searched for a number of AK74 magazines from the armed bandits, and inserted them into the magazine pocket of the tactical vest regardless of it, and after she couldn't put it down, she casually inserted it in her belt and stuck to her clothes.
Fatuna saw that Isabel was delayed for nearly half a minute because of the search for supplementary ammunition, the expression on her face was slightly stiff, and she walked forward quickly with gestures, Isabel saw that Song Xiaoshuang's face was cold and did not change much, so she didn't care about these things with Fatuna, and followed Fatuna to walk quickly.
The internal space of the mine cave that began to be mined hundreds of years ago is much larger than the entrance of the mine, and after Song Xiaoshuang and the three of them walked dozens of meters and turned a corner, the natural light projected into the mine in the desert was reduced, but they could barely see the surrounding environment clearly.
Song Xiaoshuang had already passed the exploration of spiritual power and knew that after the mine turned a corner, there was a large artificially excavated cave hall!
Thousands of square meters of cave hall parked several four-wheeled off-road military vehicles but empty, a four-wheeled military vehicle in the rear cargo box is full of high-density and large-capacity lithium battery packs, there are cables from the battery pack to supply a branch hole of the lighting lamp, another military vehicle is a diesel generator set, now not started.
A few improvised gas stoves and pots were placed haphazardly, and in the corner of the cave hall, a few leashed emaciated camels were tied to blackened wooden stakes embedded in the stone walls, and the frightened camels were lying prone on the ground drinking water from a trough, the source of which was seeping out of the cracks in the stone walls beside them.
A stone trough with a length of two meters and a depth of one meter is also one meter is dug on the stone wall separately on the stone wall, and there is a deep cut on the stone wall near the stone trough, and the water in the stone crack of the stone wall is led to the stone trough, the water in the stone trough has been filled at this time, and the clear water flowing outward flows along the stone wall to the water trough dug on the ground, for the camel to use, and the water that the camel can not eat continues to flow a few meters away along the stone ground next to the stone wall, and then it seeps into the underground stone crack for a few hours!
Song Xiaoshuang guessed that the stone troughs were dug during the dynastic period, because the edges of the stone troughs for people to drink water became smooth, and the water in the troughs flowed down in an arc, although there was a water supply, the desert climate was really dry, and the stone troughs soaked by the water showed that there were no plants such as mosses.
On the gray-brown stone wall around the cave hall, there are also different wooden and metal nameplates from the late dynastic era and the later French colonial era, discarded oil-fired miner's lamps and later electricity to provide energy for the lamp pipeline, which are everywhere on the stone wall of the cave hall, and there are three small railroad tracks that are common for miners to dig ore mines, extending from the three branch caves in the depths of the cave hall, and the rails are not paved to the entrance of the cave outside.
It seems that both the dynastic era and the French colonial era attached great importance to this gold mine, and the ore containing the gold ore was transferred away in the hall, and the ore tailings piled up on the desert sand outside the mine cave were discarded stones made by the villagers of various tribes for the rebel armed bandits to reopen the mine, and they had no value at all.
In addition to seeing a few half-new and old manpower dump carts beside a small railroad track, Song Xiaoshuang also saw a circle of more than ten square meters of open space surrounded by waste ore, surrounded by blackened bloodstains, and the bones of Bai Sensen's camels were all inside the stone circle, and the strength of a battalion of rebel armed bandits plus hundreds of villagers from various tribes used camel meat for food, and there were only a few peaks left in the camels in a month, no wonder the camels next to the sink were full of fear in their eyes.
Song Xiaoshuang and the three of them stayed in the cave hall for more than ten seconds, walked through the cave hall, and ran into a branch hole with small lights and small railroad tracks, the branch hole was much smaller, only five meters wide and four meters high, and the echo of people stepping on the stone ground kicking the flying gravel and hitting the railroad track was piercing.
Isabel, who had not worn flat glasses for many days, trotted behind Song Xiaoshuang with a rifle, looking at the old elder who could not see the end of the mine in the dim light, she still felt a little unhappy, but she didn't want Fatuna with a grenade launcher to ridicule again, saying that she was claustrophobic, Isabel secretly gritted her teeth and followed Song Xiaoshuang tightly.
The three of them ran all the way forward for a long time, and there was a fork in the road mine with small rails in front of them, Isabel saw that there was no light in the main mine in front of her, and there were small lights in the fork in the mine, watching Fatuna rush into the fork in the mine without hesitation, Isabel followed Song Xiaoshuang to the fork in the road!
Continuing to run along the zigzag mine for nearly a kilometer or so, Song Xiaoshuang suddenly held the gun without coming up, and pulled the trigger of the general-purpose machine gun in the mine hole in front of him that was empty and only saw small railroad tracks.
Fatuna's face changed and immediately stopped, gesturing to Isabel to defend, Isabel held the gun on her waist with both hands, her fingers were on the trigger, and her tawny eyes looked at the empty mine in front of her, and there was nothing at all, but she saw Song Xiaoshuang holding a general-purpose machine gun and constantly strafing, the flame of the muzzle of the gun stretched out in the dim light, and the piercing gunfire continued to echo in the mine.
In the smoke of gunpowder, Song Xiaoshuang stopped shooting, and two white Europeans suddenly appeared on the small railroad tracks of the mine nearly 70 meters away, a man and a woman wearing desert yellow training uniforms and low-top lightweight marine combat boots of the same color on their feet, both of them had short hair, and their appearance was very ordinary, and they were only in their thirties.
Seeing that Song Xiaoshuang stopped shooting, a woman with short silver-gray hair, with a mocking look in her eyes, looked at Fatuna, who was dressed in blue and black tights, and said in Arabic in a playful tone: "Fatuna, I always wonder when we will have a day of hostility, I didn't expect it to arrive so soon, but it's a pity that you have a good skin and flesh and you don't have a man who knows how to appreciate it, you have to go to hell!" ”
Fatuna saw Song Xiaoshuang's fingers touching the dagger on her waist, and was still thinking about how Song Xiaoshuang would use the dagger to deal with these two alien people, she felt that a strong wind suddenly blew around her, and Song Xiaoshuang had disappeared from the place
