Chapter Ninety-Four: Preparing for War (I)
We followed the road we had come from back to the station. At this time, it was already afternoon, the station was still the same, and the surroundings were very quiet, it seemed that the NATO doglegs did not stop here for more and should go back directly with the Earl's gift.
Soon we were spotted by the sentries who had stayed here, and they quickly greeted us. And when they ran up to us, they brought us bad news. The sentry told me that the men of the Eastern Battalion left us something.
Stuff? What is it? Bomb? The sentry shook his head and told us that what we had left behind was a line of words, and something else. So the sentry led us to the gate of the station, and we soon saw a large line of writing written on the ground of the road in front of the gate.
I didn't recognize the words here, so I looked at the old guy next to me, Yugovich, and said, "What is this written?" ”
Yugovich looked at me, "Coward, run away and don't come back." Otherwise, give us a good look. ”
After Yugovich finished speaking, the sentry pointed to the gate, "They also peed there." While urinating, he screamed that there were a bunch of people without birds. ”
"And then?" Milk asked, frowning.
"And then, and then they were gone." The sentry said.
Milk grabbed the sentry by the collar and shouted, "You didn't shoot those bitches twice?" Are you ****** scared to hide in the woods and dare not show your head? ”
I grabbed Milk and said, "Calm down." They did nothing wrong, and we're no match for those guys right now. They just want us to take the initiative to attack, and if we do, wouldn't it be as they please? Even if we want to retaliate against them, we can only do it if we are well prepared and it is beneficial for us. ”
Milk reluctantly threw away the sentry's collar, "This is the hell of a place! I've never been this kind of since I was a kid. Even when we were in Chechnya, although we were chased and beaten by the Russians, we were not so angry when we met. We want to retaliate as soon as possible, as soon as possible! ”
After returning to our makeshift location deep in the woods, we immediately set about preparing for our future operations, as Milke had requested. First of all, Yugovich and Kristovich, two people with a strong sense of direction and very familiar with the geographical environment, were arranged to make a map, and the east and west, north and south, which side was high and which side was low, where there were woods and where there were forks, and the general layout were all shown on the map. Then I organized people to start building the abandoned barracks immediately, and I had to ask Vukovic to help with this work, otherwise there would be insufficient manpower, and if the time span was too large, the first secrecy would be too difficult, and the second would be a long night, and we might be hit at the door at any time, so it must be built as soon as possible. The next one is the integration of personnel, which is actually the most difficult, no one wants to fight under the leadership of people they are not familiar with, let alone the moment when morale is at its lowest after the defeat. This may have to be done slowly, and I can only slowly pull people from Ivanovich's gang and slowly separate them.
Finally, there is the issue of equipment, and we urgently need a large amount of weapons and equipment. This is no longer the time when you can run rampant with a few guns. Especially in such a place where the war has not subsided, so far, my feeling is that the equipment of any random group of people here is better than ours, at least not worse than us. If this problem is not solved, we can say that it is difficult to move an inch in this place, after all, it is impossible for me to fill the shortage of weapons with human life, and I do not have the capital to do such a thing. In addition to these, there is also the issue of obtaining intelligence, what is the relationship between this guy and NATO, we still don't know, which actually makes me feel that Keqiman is more dangerous than the Earl, because the Earl is an enemy, and what about Keqiman? It's hard to tell the difference between friend and foe, but I always feel like he's going to give us a knife at any point.
Each of these things made me feel bigger than the other, but fortunately, after three days of working in the abandoned barracks with my men, good news finally came. While I was directing thirty or so men, with the assistance of the two men with construction experience, to dig a pit in the barracks while perfecting the drawings and ideas, Milk sent to tell me that Nicky had come to our station with a large amount of supplies, and that Milk told me to go back immediately.
When I returned to the station in a hurry, I didn't see the mountain of supplies, only that the station was still empty, and Milk was chatting with a few people. One of them, of course, was Nicky, and I was pleasantly surprised
The other two people, one is Zhao Yi, and the other is actually Grande.
"Ahh Our partisan comrade is back. Milk pointed at me and smiled at Nicky.
"Gypsy!" Grandet looked back at me and smiled as he gave me a big hug, "I heard you're having a hard time?" ”
I nodded and said, "yes." Being bullied every day. After I finished speaking, I looked at Zhao Yi, "How about following Nicky is much better than when you were in China, right?" ”
Zhao Yi smiled and nodded a little embarrassedly, "It's much better than the days back then." ”
"But it's also much more dangerous." Nicky spoke on the side: "Fortunately, Zhao is a cautious person, and sometimes caution makes me feel redundant. And what he always told me to be careful sailing the ship of ten thousand years. Well, as long as he doesn't bother, whatever. ”
I smiled, and from Nicky's expression and words, I could see that he was quite satisfied with Zhao Yi. I looked at them and said, "You came empty-handed?" Didn't you say that there were a lot of supplies? What about things? ”
Nicky pointed at me and said, "How are you like the refugees who are looking forward to the distribution of food?" We haven't said a few words yet. ”
"I'm like a refugee now. Do you look here? Not only is it dilapidated, but I basically don't dare to live in normal times. I'm afraid of being knocked on the door. A group of people living in the woods are about to become savages. Get your stuff out, we've got to regroup! I said.
"It's too big. So they didn't all come over. Zhao Yi said on the side.
Nicky nodded, "Yes." That big bunch of things, to be shipped here, are you afraid that others will not know your ambitions? ”
I thought about it, and I looked at them and said, "What's that?" Are you going to ship it in batches? ”
"Tell him what we have in store for him." Nicky looked at Zhao Yi and said.
Zhao Yi took out a booklet from the pocket of his clothes, looked at it and said: "Mainly weapons and equipment, there are two hundred rifles AK-74M, of which forty are equipped with GP25 grenade launchers. There are ten machine guns PKM and a number of accessories for these two kinds. Ten AGS-7130 mm grenade launchers with several ammunition. Five 82-mm mortars, five SPG-9 recoilless guns. RPG-26 disposable rockets a hundred. RPG-7 twenty ammunition several. There were other guns and ammunition, grenades, dozens of communicators, and a satellite phone. After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he took the book back again.
"How? Are you okay with these things? Comrade partisan leader. Nicky looked at me and smiled.
I immediately nodded and said, "Satisfied." How not satisfied? This is the best news I've gotten recently. With all this, I basically have the combat effectiveness of a battalion, and even stronger. As long as I don't encounter all kinds of main battle tanks and all kinds of aircraft, then I have a way to deal with it. ”
"That's part of it. There will be other additions later. Grandet spoke.
I nodded and looked at him, "I suddenly want to know what you're doing here?" Coming here to grow your business? ”
Grandet glanced at Milk, then smiled, "Growing your business is only part of the story. Doesn't Earl have a market? I'd like to go over and see. ”
"Huh? What do you mean? You're going to make a deal with the Earl? I asked.
Seeing that my tone was not good, Grandet immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much. I'm just going to check it out. Even if you buy it full, you won't do those hurtful transactions. And don't you want to know what it's like inside? I'm just going to be there to help you take a look. And I'm here to help you train a bunch of artillerymen, and you can use all those things, but if you want to hit it accurately, it's a technical job. ”
I don't know the first half of Grande's sentence
Whether it's true or not, but the second half of the sentence makes a lot of sense. It's true that this cannon has it, but it has to be accurate, otherwise everyone will watch the fireworks together? Grandet, a former artilleryman, led a group of Chechens to shell the Russians when he was in Chechnya.
"Really? You didn't lie to me? I asked.
"Of course. I don't deny that I went to the Earl to do some business, but I definitely wouldn't get involved in anything that was too unconscionable. And I'm not going to make a deal with the Earl. Grandet said.
I nodded, this guy will dare to do anything when he sees that it is profitable, but now is not the time to be reasonable, in fact, there are many times in this world where there is no reason to talk about, especially in such a place, surviving and defeating one's enemies is the first creed.
"And when will the things be delivered?" I asked.
"Aren't we discussing? That's what Milk is here to do when he gets you back. Nicky replied.
"Good. So let's get started right away. We still have a lot of work to do, so we need to hurry up. I spoke.
