Li Le heard the roar of machinery in the distance, and as a member of the Heavenly Soldiers who was familiar with the performance of the weapons developed by various powers in the world at different times, Li Le immediately made a judgment, and the familiar sound came from the T-84 tank made in the former Soviet Union. Hurry up and put out the bonfire.

This tank was designed by the Ukrainian Kharkov Molotsov Tank Design Bureau in the mid-90s of the 20th century on the basis of the former Soviet T-80UD main battle tank, and subsequently carried out a series of improvements. In particular, the latest modification of the tank, the T-84-120, is considered to be a third-and-a-half-generation main battle tank on a par with the advanced main battle tanks of the West because it combines the advantages of the Soviet-style tank with the advantages of the Western tank's focus on crew survivability and operating comfort. The performance is extremely superior, especially suitable for the cold season in high latitudes.

Due to the economic recession in Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the sharp decline in equipment demand and the new government's move closer to the West, the T-84 main battle tank became the last self-designed main battle tank with the characteristics of the Soviet-style main battle tank of the famous Molotsov Tank Design Bureau in the Soviet era. For the same reason, the low-quality and durable T-84 tank has also become the darling of the arms market. It is widely used in various countries in the West Asian region that do not have the ability to develop such weapons themselves.

The wind was wilder, the snow was more violent, Li Le looked at the dim and endless snow, and secretly thought: Such a night, such a place, only this chain-rail steel monster can move. Who would drive this steel monster on a snowy night on the plateau?

The roar of machinery comes from far and near, and judging by the sound, there should be as many as five. But it didn't seem to be coming in the direction where the two of them were.

Hai Lanzhu said, "With such a heavy snowfall, Da Laobai's footprints have long been covered, and it is impossible for them to track us unless there is a mastiff to help." After a slight pause, he added: "But don't worry, there are not many mastiffs that can come out to track their prey in this weather, only the best hunters among the shepherds can train the hounds in a special way, and this kind of dog cannot be bought with money." ”

Li Le looked at her and asked, "Listening to your tone, it seems that it has been determined that the people in this tank are friends and foes, can't they be the local garrison?" "When I think about it, I suddenly feel unlikely. According to the information I have, Mongolia has a population of just over 2 million and an army of less than 10,000, and its military expenditure is extremely limited.

Hai Lanzhu shook his head and said, "There is not a single garrison in the entire Öndörkhan region. ”

Li Le smiled and said, "You know a lot. ”

Hai Lanzhu said: "It's a pity that I don't know who is driving this thing." ”

If not the garrison, then it is a force from the people. Could it be the Bao Dejin gang? According to Iseto's confession, in order for the excavation to be successful, Kravitz, a native of the United States, hired Donald King, a retired former deputy director of the CIA, to lead the team. This person Li Le had a deal with him when he was a heavenly soldier, and knew that although this person was nearly sixty years old, he was a great expert in the tiger old and heroic.

Iseto confessed that their expedition team consisted of nearly 1,000 people, including a team of mercenaries with rich combat experience. Li Le knew very well that there were many mercenary organizations with good combat effectiveness active in the entire West Asian region. Among them, there are many mercenary teams with heavyweight weapons like the T-84. Mercenary is a profession that makes money by pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers, and in principle, whoever gives more money will die for whomever he wants. If Donald King was leading the team, he would probably hire one of them.

Li Le analyzed all kinds of possibilities in his heart, got up and muttered: "If this group of people is hired by Bao Dejin, in this weather, with the mobility of the T-84, it is difficult to guarantee that their jeep will not be overtaken, I really can't rest assured, I must follow and take a look." ”

Hai Lanzhu said: "I'll go with Da Laobai with you." ”

Li Le looked at her sincere and pure demeanor, his heart was slightly moved, and he flatly refused: "You better go to your clansmen, if my guess is correct, this matter will be very dangerous, I am afraid that if I hand it over, I will not be able to take care of you at that time." ”

Hai Lanzhu said: "What if it's not? Or maybe they weren't caught up by the other party? ”

Li Le analyzed: "Stone they are different from you and me, they have no professional training, let alone know how to survive on the grassland, if this tank is the other party's, in such weather, it may be difficult for them to escape the tracking of others." Seeing Hai Lanzhu's worried, he suddenly felt warm in his heart, and said in a harmonious voice: "Believe me, I am the most professional in dealing with this kind of thing, and I have faced more dangerous and difficult situations than this, but it is indeed inconvenient to bring you." ”

Hai Lanzhu lowered her head and was silent, her hand tightly pinched the flute hanging on her chest, and only after a while did she nod, gritted her teeth and said, "In this case, you can ride Da Lao Bai, it is the fastest guy in the desert." He also carefully advised: "Remember to be careful, if you don't find anything, come over early to meet." ”

Hearing that the roar of the machinery was far away, Li Le got up and said, "We came with five people, and of course we have to go back with all five of us." Before leaving, he said: "Da Lao Bai is the key to your survival in this snowy night, and its goal is too big, it is really not conducive to me approaching the past, so it is better to stay with you." ”

Hai Lanzhu looked strong, nodded and said: "You go, if you can't hear any news, come back, I will wait for you here for three hours, if you don't come back by then, I will go to the southern foot of Kent Mountain to meet the clansmen." ”

••••••

At midnight, the snow reflects the moonlight. The ruts left by the tank cars were clearly visible, and Li Le confirmed his judgment even more, there were indeed five tank cars driving through here. Moreover, they advance in a special formation, leaving a trail that can be passed by other vehicles.

Li Le knew that in this kind of climate, even a tank could only stagger forward as slowly as an ox, so he made up his mind and galloped forward along the track, running quickly for a short time, and he could already see the hazy shadow of the car in front of him.

Heavy black shadows accompanied by a low mechanical sound, slowly and stubbornly moving forward like a long dragon in the wind and snow. Li Le climbed to a high point on the side of the road and looked over, only to see that the cars below were connected end to end, stretching far away, and he couldn't count how many cars there were. It's harder to find out if there are stones in their jeep than to climb to the sky.

In this case, I really can't think of any good way, only to catch up and confirm one by one.

Due to the extremely low visibility, even though there were tanks on the road, the progress was still very slow, and Li Le ran after it, jumping into the last truck silently. Hiding in a canvas shed, through the faint light, I could vaguely see canned food pulled on the car. For an expedition team with so many people, logistical supplies were naturally indispensable. Li Le visually estimated that almost all of the canned food in this car was fish and meat, presumably there would be vegetables, eggs and poultry on other cars, and the number of pigs, cattle and mutton would only be more. Counting the vehicles needed for the staple food, the unknown team had at least fifteen carts for food alone.

What could be the purpose of such a large convoy walking on the wasteland at this time? Li Le pressed the thought in his heart, sneaked outside the cab, and put his ear on the car to listen to the movement inside.

Two voices came from the cab, speaking English.

As a member of the Heavenly Soldiers, the knowledge that must be mastered is diverse, including many Chinese.

If you want to know your confidants, just listen to what you say. Li Leyun listened carefully with all his ears, only to hear the person sitting in the driver's seat complaining all the way: "This damn weather! I really don't understand why our commander would listen to that damn old man of the United States, and have to venture to the goddamn north of Mount Kent in this weather. ”

The other man didn't say anything at first, and then he couldn't hold back and even warned him: "Oh, brother Miraf, don't complain, don't forget that we are in this business, beware of being known by the boss, you will die without a place to be buried." ”

The driver Miraf didn't appreciate it, and was irritable: "See his ghost die without a place to be buried, see his ghost this ghost weather!" ”

The other sighed and comforted: "Brother Mirav, I understand your feelings, we are all very sad about Marko's death, that old man of the United States killed him, everyone is very angry, but Captain Nicholas asked us to be patient for the time being, I believe that the commander will not let the blood of his brother be shed in vain." ”

Mirav said indignantly: "It's just for a damn yellow bitch, that damn old man killed our good brother Marko, Nick, I can't swallow this breath, I know that old man is very powerful, don't worry, I won't provoke the commander until he agrees to do it, but the woman he wants to protect and three companions are in Milos's car••••••"

"Shut up!" Nick snapped, "Mirav, do you want to follow in Marco's footsteps?" ”

When Li Le heard this, he was secretly shocked. According to the duo, they captured four people, including at least one yellow woman. There is a high probability that it is the stone of them. As soon as I thought of this, I was busy listening more attentively. The two people in the car didn't say anything valuable. Li Le's heart was spinning, and he immediately opened the back window of the cab and got in.

These two people are cold-blooded mercenaries who kill people without blinking, and the back window was suddenly opened, and the two were only stunned for a moment, and Nick in the co-pilot seat reacted and reached into his arms to pull out his gun. He was fast but not as fast as Li Le's fingers, and a little between his neck, the mercenary named Nick immediately fainted. At the same time, Li Le's other hand also grabbed the neck of the driver named Miraf and asked in a low voice, "What kind of car is Milos driving?" What are the four people you caught like? ”

The short-tempered Mirav was so hard that he not only refused to speak, but also tried to resist. He sat in the driver's seat, and the car moved with him as soon as he moved in a disorder, Li Le was worried that the car in front of him would find the movement, so he had to pinch him out with the force of his hand.

The driver named Miraf fainted, but his hand was still pressed on the steering wheel, and by chance he touched the horn button, and the truck immediately honked······ The car in front of you suddenly turned on its brake lights.
