Chapter 80: Entanglement (03)
Judging from the color of the wound, the poison was quite violent, Ivan immediately cut off the guy's ear, it was better to lose one ear than to be poisoned, and after a scream from the knife, the guy turned into an ear......
The people who were stabbed by those wooden arrows just now couldn't help but be afraid for a while, if it weren't for the combat uniforms and body armor on their bodies to cover themselves, they would have been poisoned, and the faces of one of them who were shot in the crotch of their pants would have turned white at that time......
Just when everyone was relieved, there was a sudden movement on the top of the boulder, and the group subconsciously raised their guns to dodge, followed by a few stones that rolled down from above, but fortunately they dodged in time and did not hit their bodies, but then another thing fell, and suddenly exploded in the rolling, and two people were hit in an instant, one of them was Ivan, he felt as if his chest was thundered with a sledgehammer, and the severe pain almost made him vomit blood, with many years of combat experience, he knew that he was shot, and his chest hurt so much that he could barely breathe, It was black in front of me for a while, and my brain couldn't think, and then I passed out.
Ivan was woken up by the sharp pain in his chest, when he opened his eyes, he saw a subordinate helping him deal with the wound on his chest, it took him a long time to remember what had just happened, his men told him that he had been hit by a bullet in the chest, fortunately the bullet had been taken out, the wound was not deep, the force of the bullet was neutralized after the bullet pierced through the body armor, but it just got into the skin and stuck in the bone, it turned out that it was not a bullet from a gun after all, but some scattered bullets wrapped in explosives, The bullets flew and hit him when he exploded, but fortunately he was not hit by a gun, otherwise his life would really be in danger.
"What about the others?" Ivan asked in pain.
"Keep chasing." Men reported.
Ivan realized that there were all wounds around him, but he didn't expect that he had fallen to this point, he took a hard breath and immediately reluctantly contacted his subordinates in front of him to ask about the situation, and his subordinates reported that the enemy had at least opened a distance of nearly 500 meters from them, and it seemed that they were moving at full speed to get rid of them, and it seemed that those two guys finally had no patience to play with them.
Ivan finally understood that these people under his command alone could not pose an effective threat to those two enemies, and in desperation, he had to contact the border troops of the rebels, hoping that they could provide the necessary help, even if he could not send troops, he would search and intercept a large area while keeping an eye on the border to prevent these two people from crossing the border and leaving, perhaps this was the only thing he could do at present, and it was also the only correct decision he made in the past two days, because all the decisions he had made before had been denied in practice, Whether it was the raid in the rebel camp, or the grassland chase battle, or this parachute interception battle, all failed without exception, the enemy forcibly eroded his advantage little by little, so that he had to finally ask for help from the rebels, the battle to this one, so that his self-confidence was greatly frustrated, he felt that he had experienced an unbearable nightmare in the past two days, everything seemed impossible, but it was so real, originally he thought that he was chasing only two lost dogs, But now it seemed that they were two invincible enemies, and the self-confidence he had built up over the years was suddenly lost at this moment, and he even felt that he was completely useless in front of these two enemies......
Heavy punches and ghost toss to completely wipe out Ivan's confidence, originally Ivanov thought that he had not been able to find a suitable opportunity to confront these two people, before the night when the enemy was dark and I did not have an advantage, this parachute interception he was fully prepared, but I didn't expect that even the enemy did not catch up, was killed in all directions, made himself embarrassed, compared to the real knife and gun hard fight felt that this encounter was too aggrieved, the enemy used some inconspicuous, But it is a very effective means to deal with them, so that their combat effectiveness is quickly weakened invisibly, although there are no large number of casualties, but these wounded have indeed become a big drag, so far they have lost nearly half of their combat effectiveness, originally he wanted to continue to chase, after dividing manpower to take care of the wounded, he found that there were only a handful of people who could be used, it seemed impossible, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was really unwilling to give up so much, so he ordered the remaining few people to continue chasing......
Obviously, this is a rather wrong decision, when there is a large group of people, it does not pose an effective threat to the enemy at all, but is played around, how can you rely on a few people to help those two plague gods now?
Ivan has been made dizzy, and basically has no combat effectiveness after being hit by a stray bullet, so it is impossible to continue chasing with his subordinates, so he can only listen to the news in the back, wait for backup, and at the same time contact the rebels to deploy the problem of blocking the border, and soon he received a report that his people have actually caught up with those two people, and they are fighting fiercely, which makes him quite surprised, and he has led people to chase all the way basically has not been able to shorten the distance between each other, And this time, it seems that it is not normal for a few of his subordinates to shorten the distance between the two sides so quickly.
Sure enough, his inference was correct, Heavy Punch and Ghost were not chased, but when they noticed that the number of pursuers was small, they decided to solve the problem first before leaving, and it was they who took the initiative to stop and wait for the pursuers to approach......
More than half an hour later, only one of the men who went to pursue returned alive to see Ivan, the pursuit battle finally ended in a fiasco, Ivan in addition to sighing at the strength of the enemy can only accept fate, he has always felt that he can be regarded as an expert player in special operations, in many years of combat career, he feels that he has accumulated a lot of special operations experience, but today it seems that the two fleeing enemies are the real masters, and he seems to be just an arrogant schoolboy.
Compared with Ivan's depressed mood, Heavy Punch and Ghost are actually not much happier, although they got rid of the pursuers and completely solved the trouble, but they know that their situation is still worrying, after all, this is still the control area of the rebels, and if they want to cross the border, they have to face a large number of rebel border guards, although they can't be stupid enough to fight these rebels, but it is also very dangerous to cross the border under the blockade.
What is there to do without risk? Those of us in this business are dealing with death all the time, but we are lucky to be able to survive to this day! This is the orc, Ben. Alan often said a sentence back then, although Heavy Punch knows that everything he is doing now is fundamentally different from mercenaries, but in most cases, they are playing the role of mercenaries, and their style is infinitely close to mercenaries, and they are even slowly getting used to this state, and most of the tasks are completed by hiring, in order to cover up their identities, but they also have to bear the corresponding risks, which is a fate that they cannot escape.
Despite this, Heavy Punch does feel that what he is doing now is more meaningful than the mission he completed in the mercenary team back then, when the whole team was just to make money and survive, and everything he does now is fighting for the mission of the military, whether it is rescuing the kidnapped engineer or protecting the overseas industry of the expatriate, and fighting against the world's well-known intelligence agencies, it is not for his own selfishness, but to contribute to the country and the nation.
"We've at least completed half of the journey, and no one knows what we'll encounter later, but it's very likely that we'll encounter the rebels, and if they really cooperate with Tiger Fish's actions in all directions, send a large-scale army to search, and find out about us." The ghost said.
"I hope that the next time we come to this bird country, we won't have to be chased and exhausted to run for our lives." Heavy punches are really tired of this kind of fugitive life, what has happened in recent months? Always unconsciously fall into such a situation.
"Let's get past this first, otherwise there will be no chance to come again." The ghost also seems to be less optimistic than before.
Bruce asked for a call. Alpha Reports.
"Take it in." Heavy punch paused and looked at the sky.
"Looks like you're in a pretty good place, at least not as embarrassed as you used to be." Bruce said in the headphones.
"Otherwise? You wish we had been chased without even a chance to catch our breath? Heavy Punch said angrily.
"Didn't you say you could find a way to help us? What about people? "It's okay to get a plane, we can't think of a better way to cross the border to a neighboring country right now, and we're not going to help if your people are waiting in a neighboring country." ”
"Because of the Tiger Fish's involvement, our relationship with the Knubian rebels has become very tense, and now the possibility of entering the country is becoming less and less, and we can't find a plane to pick you up." Bruce seemed rather helpless.
"I don't think I can count on you anymore." The ghost pouted.
"The only thing that can fly to you right now is a drone, and that thing can't take you two big people with it." "I'm thinking of other options, and there's no clear response from the channels and relationships, so I'm helpless." ”
"Aren't you on good terms with a general in their government army or the rebel army?" Heavy Punch suddenly remembered this incident.
"It's no longer in contact, it's likely that he's been cleansed, so it's best not to count on him." Bruce said, "I've just made some changes to the evacuation route that Alpha has drawn up for you, at least to avoid areas where the rebels are frequented, including some of the underground fortifications and bunkers built by the government forces before, all of which are underground, and Alpha shouldn't have discovered them yet, so I've rerouted to bypass these places." ”
"Okay!" The heavy punch is quite helpless.
"I can send a drone to bring you some supplies, if you need anything, just say it." Bruce was really trying his best to help the two men, but there was only so much he could do right now.
"Not needed yet, there is enough ammunition, food can last for three days, the water problem should not be difficult to solve, if we can't leave here for three days, then I'm afraid we can only move to the mountains, you can send it to us again." The ghost shook his head at the rolling grasslands, where he didn't seem to see a glimmer of hope.
After the call, the two of them made a brief repair at the end of the canyon, and now they finally got a chance to rest, and they managed to find a water source under the rocks and large patches of mud and sand, and it took some time to filter the muddy water, so they had to stay here a little longer.
In the process of collecting water, they also met two rhinoceros who had come here to drink, and the two behemoths were drinking the water from the mud and sand as if no one was there, and the two men had to retreat from the top of the rock to look at the two fellows, they did not intend to provoke the fierce beast.
"It is said that rhinos are endangered to the point of extinction, and I really don't know if such a large rhinoceros will be seen in the wild in a few years." Punch said as he sat on top of the rock and looked down.
"You're still in the mood to think about this, why don't you think about how to cross the border?" The ghost figure stood on the high guard, and there was not a single figure in sight of the grassland except for some wild animals.
"It's useless to think about this kind of thing, we can only improvise, the rebels in the border area can't defend all the lines, at most strengthen patrols and set up sentry posts, and there is still a great possibility that we will pass through at night." Heavy Punch said as he looked at the two rhinoceros who had finished drinking the water and didn't plan to leave.
"It's easy to think, they will definitely assemble on a large scale for area search and interception, and deploy heavy troops in echelons on the road we must pass, alas, it's a headache to think about." The ghost figure put down the telescope in his hand, "It is safe within five kilometers, and nothing unusual has been found." ”
"It's not that things are too simple, we are just putting pressure on ourselves to think about things too complicated now, so it's better to see you when the time comes." Heavy Punch said as he analyzed the electronic map in his hand, in fact, he had looked at this map many times, the movement of the rebels continued, I don't know where to focus in the end, he and the ghost must find a weaker defense as a breakthrough, but until now I don't know where the rebels' transfer ends.
It took nearly an hour and a half to get enough clean water, and perhaps this is the only place where they can replenish their drinking water within a few dozen kilometers of this grassland, so they would rather waste more time here than worry about finding water in the back, not to mention that no one knows what will happen in the future, and maybe they will not have the opportunity to find water at all.
After a short recuperation they were on the road again, no matter what lay ahead, they could not stop, they had to leave the country if they wanted to live, and although they did not find a suitable way, they could not sit still here.
In the dry season, everything in Africa withers and turns yellow, there is no green in the grasslands, and groups of wild animals have long migrated to places where water and grass are beautiful, but there are many who stay here, but they can't change the depression here, the two of them are almost trotting all the way on this wasteland, whether it is a lion rhinoceros or an elephant, they can only avoid it from afar, they really can't afford to provoke these crazy and earth-shattering things, let alone make trouble for themselves, and they don't want to get entangled with these things after walking a few more steps, They were like two primitive people on a long trek on the grassland, unable to see the scenery in front of them, and went straight to the mountains on the edge of the grassland, and they could approach the border by climbing over the rolling hills, but they were relieved that they did not find a large-scale rebel army.
In fact, the rebel troops on the border had already received news from Ivan, but they were not in a hurry to deploy troops, because they had already received orders from the upper echelons to stay put, and the upper echelons of the rebels were not idiots, this was a good opportunity to negotiate, how could such a large-scale transfer of troops have to give some gas money, right? What's more, this time it is tossing in their rear, which is quite detrimental to the "stability" of the rear, so they began to negotiate with the Tiger Fish's people, hoping to obtain greater benefits through this, whether it is economic aid or military aid, they must strive for some benefits, they have to have some benefits, although the Tiger Fish is very dissatisfied with the price of the rebels, but they don't want to watch the two people flee from Knubia, if they can't be caught here, it will be even more difficult to find them, So under the trade-off, he also hoped that he could take advantage of this opportunity to capture the heavy fist in one fell swoop, and it was not impossible to promise a small profit to the rebels, but what he didn't expect was that these guys of the rebels opened their mouths and asked them for heavy weapons support, which made the two sides bargain for a while, and it can be regarded as invisibly giving the heavy fist and the ghost some chance to escape, at least they did not encounter a large-scale rebel army on the grassland, which can be regarded as a kind of luck, otherwise they may have been captured or killed long ago, even if they are strong, There were only two people, and in the face of a large number of rebels, they had no chance of winning.
When it was dark they finally approached the edge of the prairie, and it was then that Bruce contacted him again and told them that they had provided them with some supplies through the drone, and the two of them really didn't care, because they found that there was something nearby and hurriedly ended the call, and after avoiding the rebel mountain patrol, they hurried to the airdrop site, and the drone finally arrived at about ten o'clock in the evening, and two huge parachute bags appeared in mid-air.
"So big? Could it be that a recoilless gun was put in it and we could blow a hole in the border? Heavy Punch joked.
"It's not funny at all." The ghost pouted, and carefully observed the situation nearby, and after confirming that there was no danger, the two of them cautiously approached the airdrop, and the possibility of the airdrop being discovered at night was very small, but they still maintained the necessary vigilance, opened the airdrop equipment package and looked at it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Grandma's Bruce, I finally understand why that bastard let us go to the top of the mountain and wait for the airdrop......"
