Chapter Eighty-Nine: Gunshots in the Night

Zahid muttered a lot of Arabic, but Song Xiaoshuang didn't understand it at all, but he knew from Zahid's expression that it was not good news, and his eyes motioned to Sima Yuru, who was sitting at the table, to translate.

Sima Yuru's dark eyes glared at the boss, and quickly recovered from the tricky information brought by Zahid, and after whispering a few words to Ihasan and Andre, he looked at Song Xiaoshuang, who was still sitting on the windowsill, and said quickly: "Song Xiaoshuang, what weapon will you use, the extremist rebel forces raided the government army base in the afternoon, and the army suffered great losses, and the military sent a message on the radio that an extreme rebel force is likely to raid the village tonight!" ”

"My marksmanship is terrible, just give me a few grenades!"

Song Xiaoshuang jumped off the windowsill and stood on the floor of the room and said unhurriedly, his ruffian habits made Sima Yuru feel very annoyed, how could he be an agent who was not proficient in light weapons? Song Xiaoshuang loved to hide clumsiness, Sima Yuru couldn't bear it, and the expression on his face was a little stiff and roared: "Song Xiaoshuang, you are still not Chinese, can't you say something useful?" ”

Hearing Sima Yuru mention this, Song Xiaoshuang's expression was solemn, and he said quickly: "What I said is true, the marksmanship is very poor, do you believe it or not, didn't you notice that the tribal armed forces have no extra weapons to use?" It's good to have grenades, and there's a fart for studying the course map, I said a long time ago that the people who can use light weapons among the passengers, whether they are men and women, should be armed as much as possible, but you deny it, for fear that it will cause casualties, it will cause panic, tell Zahid, release some of the hostages, and tell them clearly that if you want not to fall into the hands of the extremist rebels, if you want to live, you have to take up arms and fuck them! ”

Zahid was whispering in Arabic to talk to Ihasan and Andrei, none of whom knew Chinese, and heard Song Xiaoshuang standing against the wall and saying a lot, and signaled Sima Yuru to translate what Song Xiaoshuang said.

Sima Yuru's palms were clenched into fists repeatedly and then released, his eyes swept over Zahid, Ihassan, and Andre, and he let out a long breath and said quickly in Arabic: "Song Xiaoshuang means to let the people who can use weapons among the passengers be armed to fight against the possible night attack of the extremist rebel forces, Zahid, what do you think?" ”

After Zahid hesitated for a moment, his eyes swept over Song Xiaoshuang, who was standing by the wall, his expression became cold, and he quickly said in Arabic: "Yes, this matter will be handled by Ihasan and Andre, and the willing fighters will be recruited from among the passengers, emphasizing one point, the rest of the people should not think about escaping, without the escort of the tribal warriors, it will be difficult to leave the desert war zone alive."

Sima Yuru gestured to Song Xiaoshuang, signaling Zahid, the grassroots commander of the tribal armed forces, to relax, and things finally made some progress, and soon Ihasan and Andre agreed to do so, and several people began to discuss the details

It was already late at night in the desert, the deserted village seemed very quiet, and the black sand bungalows could only be faintly distinguished in the starlight, and it was really difficult to see the surrounding shrubs and plants clearly.

The temperature is gradually decreasing, the night temperature in the desert in March is very low, only a few degrees or so, sometimes even as low as zero degrees, the Airbus airliner docked on the salt shell of the abandoned salt pan under the starlight, but it can be seen from afar, at this time, on the top of a tall sand dune a few hundred meters away from the salt pan, most of Song Xiaoshuang's body is buried in the sand and motionless, even most of his head is buried in the sand, but his eyes and lips are exposed outside the sand, and his eyes are sharp looking at the vast sand sea in the desert on the west side. You can't spot him until you get closer.

Song Xiaoshuang has been burying his body in the sand pile on the sand dune for several hours, this sand dune is not only a fixed sand dune but also the commanding height of the nearby desert for several kilometers, it can be seen that Lao Yuan Of course, if the extreme rebel forces attack at night, they will first occupy this commanding height, deploy support and suppressive weapons, such as light mortars, large-caliber machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, and so on.

As the grassroots commander of the tribal armed forces, Zahid naturally would not have thought of these basic tactical common sense, but Zahid, who has fought with the extremist rebel forces many times, has to prevent the armed members of the extremist rebels from going around to the east and north sides of the village to raid the desert, the east and north sides are flat desert sand and the sand is rarely undulating, and the well-equipped extremist rebel forces are likely to approach rapidly by car, and the modern extremist rebel forces are equipped with military trucks, wheeled infantry chariots, and sometimes even tracked heavy infantry chariots!

Once the infantry chariots with machine guns and the off-road military vehicles with anti-aircraft machine guns in the carriages approached the village to shoot at close range, the mud-walled bungalows made of sand and dirt could not stop them at all, and the few Soviet-style rocket launchers in the hands of Zahid's tribal fighters were mainly used to deal with the infantry chariots, and they really couldn't spare extra manpower to carry weapons and arrange them in advance on the tall sand dunes on the west side.

Another reason not to place tribal warriors on the dunes seems to be sufficient: the commander of the extreme rebel army that Zahid can think of can also think of that although the sand dunes on the Yantian side are nearby commanding heights, it is difficult to hold them without long-range suppressive weapons, and the extreme rebel forces pursue the principle of fire supremacy, and once there is a plan to attack the village at night, they will definitely reconnoiter the fire before seizing the dunes, and what mortar shells, anti-aircraft machine gun bullets will greet the sand dunes, Zahid didn't want his men to waste on the battle dunes!

Zahid doesn't have many hole cards to play, the lack of old weapons and ammunition is a big problem, Zahid used to rely on his flexible mind, leading the tribal warriors and extreme rebel forces to maneuver, through the careful planning of a few people in the room, Zahid decided to play a big one, and whether Song Xiaoshuang hidden in the sand can succeed is already an important part of the plan, of course, Zahid has estimated that Song Xiaoshuang may fail and cannot achieve the expected goal, and has made full preparations!

The night wind blowing in the desert whined, and several fist-sized scorpions crawled out of the sand pile on the top of the dune, crawling a few meters away from Song Xiaoshuang's side, and then a desert rattlesnake twisted its body and slid past Song Xiaoshuang two meters away, and the sand grains rolled down the dune, not that it didn't notice Song Xiaoshuang's existence, but instinctively told it that it was best not to provoke this powerful existence in the nearby sand pile.

After seeing the rattlesnake sliding away, Song Xiaoshuang, who was buried in the sand, withdrew his cold coercive breath.

After a long time in the Sahara Desert, Song Xiaoshuang has mastered how to release the breath on his body, so that snakes, insects and small animals seem to be "quiet" passing by him but look very normal, the important thing is to grasp a degree, the release of the coercive breath is too large or too small, how to grasp the problem of moderation, some of which were learned from the tribal wizard Uncle Issam, and the other part was figured out by Song Xiaoshuang himself.

With this ability, if you don't use the thermal imager to search at night, Song Xiaoshuang is lurking in the desert and is difficult to be discovered, even if you use the military thermal imager to search, Song Xiaoshuang, as a strong ancient martial artist, has a much lower thermal radiation than ordinary people in the thermal imager lens, and it is easy to mix into the desert within the general temperature field of view and not be discovered.

It's finally here, and these members of the extreme rebel army are really Tamad's cunning!

Song Xiaoshuang, who could see the night as day, had already discovered that several figures in the desert on the west side were rapidly approaching the sand dunes under the cover of desert shrubs and sandpiles.

Soon, several armed members of the extreme rebels, wearing long pants and undershirts, covering their faces with scarves on their heads, and carrying weapons, stopped more than 100 meters away from the sand dunes, picked up a certain type of assault rifle equipped with a grenade launcher and a silencer in their hands, and opened fire wantonly on the sand dunes.

The fire reconnaissance intended to reconnoiter whether there was anyone lurking on the sand dunes, but the assault rifle equipped with a silencer swept wantonly, which achieved the effect without exposing itself, and it was obvious that there were many capable people in the extreme rebel army.

For a while, I saw that the sand dust on the sand dunes was splashed in all directions by the bullet that was shot, and the desert rattlesnake that twisted its body and slid past Song Xiaoshuang's side was sadly splashed up by the swept warhead, and the snake's blood was sprayed everywhere.

Seeing that several people around him took out the magazines from the tactical vests on their chests to replace the empty magazines on the assault rifles, and prepared to reconnoiter the fire, a militant member of the extreme rebel army who covered his face with a gauze scarf made a quick gesture to stop the behavior of several people around him from wasting ammunition, and then shook his hand and took the lead to walk up to the top of the sand dunes that were nearly 100 meters high.

Soon, several armed members of the armed extremist rebels walked to the top of the sand dunes and carefully lay down in the sand, staring at the silent and deserted village.

"Something is wrong, it's too quiet, could it be that the military sent a message to Zahid's dirt bun so soon?"

The armed member of the extreme rebel army, who had just taken the lead in walking up to the sand dunes, was lying in the sand and repeatedly observed the direction of the village a few hundred meters away from the binoculars night vision devices, and the black and white night vision camera showed that the village was quiet and strange, and the desert shrubs and plants everywhere were swaying in the wind, and there was no one moving in the village, and the armed member muttered Arabic in a low voice.

"Head, why don't you bring a thermal imager!"

An armed member of the sand beside him, covering his face with a veil, whispered Arabic in a small voice.

"It's good to give night vision, and want a thermal imager! That thing is very expensive, and the observation distance is limited, don't talk nonsense, send a signal to the back, let them go up to the dunes with weapons, no matter what Zahid does, his tribal armed detachment will be finished tonight"

The armed members with night vision devices looked like small leaders with high status, or grassroots commanders on the front line, and they also knew Zahid, and in a very low voice, they spoke Arabic and ordered the armed members around them to act according to the plan.
