Chapter Eighty-Five: Desert Resistance

The commando convoy was driving five or six kilometers in the desert when Lingling suddenly looked at the display screen on the electronic information box and shouted, "There is a radio signal near the factory."

"Attention all: speed up and be ready for battle. The chasing soldiers came up from behind" Li Dongsheng hurriedly shouted into the microphone, and then turned his head to Lingling and ordered: "Call up the real-time satellite pictures."

Lingling quickly switched to the satellite reception screen, just as our satellite had just passed through this area, and the picture clearly showed that there were more than a dozen trucks in the factory just now, and the two tanks with long barrels in the front were particularly eye-catching.

Manlila, the deputy commander-in-chief of the "National United Front" located in the command post west of N City, hurriedly ordered his men to call the commander guarding the hostages after hearing the sound of gunfire and explosions at the chemical plant where the hostages were being held.

There was no response for a long time, and the gunfire in the direction of the chemical plant became more and more intense. With a bad premonition, Manlila immediately informed the commander-in-chief, who was attacking the airfield in the city, to reinforce the chemical plant with two light tanks and a company of guards guarding the command post.

He knew that the hostages were their talisman. If the hostages are rescued, in the event of defeat, they lose their bargaining chips with government forces.

When they arrived at the chemical plant, the building was empty, leaving only the bombed factory building and a corpse, and not a single company of the original guards was alive. Looking at the corpses and the collapsed factory buildings, Manlila's face was exposed, and she yelled and chased the guard company into the desert.

It was getting brighter. A red sun erupts from the endless desert, and the vast desert is golden in the light of the rising sun, the sky is blue, and the air is exceptionally fresh. The rolling sand dunes are one after the other, like an endless golden sea, rippling with golden waves.

The "Leopard Commandos" quickly evacuated along the golden sand dunes to the depths of the Sahara Desert to the north.

Lingling sat in the passenger seat next to Li Dongsheng, her eyes staring at the electronic screen of the information processing box, constantly tapping the keyboard to change the screen screen. When she switched to the communication information scanning page, she suddenly shouted, "There is a communication signal 15 kilometers behind!" ”

Li Dongsheng quickly glanced in the rearview mirror, and sure enough, a large cloud of sand and dust was raised far behind. "Wan Lin, the enemy is catching up, your car is responsible for breaking off," Li Dongsheng ordered while driving.

"Roger," Wan Lin replied loudly, his right hand to the left, and a dozen wheels broke away from the moving convoy and stopped to the side.

He quickly got out of the car with Xiaohua and Zhang Wa, and "laid mines," Wan Lin said loudly to Zhang Wa. Zhang Wa quickly took out three anti-tank mines from her backpack, buried them in the ruts that had just been pressed out during the march of the convoy just now, and then pressed out the ruts with her hands. He muttered, "If you take less, you will bring 6 anti-tank mines, and keep the remaining a few for later."

"Go" saw that Zhang Wa had laid the mines, Wan Lin called Zhang Wa, drove the car to a sand dune 300 meters away and stopped, and he and Zhang Wa climbed the sand dunes with Xiaohua, hiding on the top of the sand dunes and quietly waiting for the enemy to appear.

Twenty minutes later, two light tanks led six large trucks full of soldiers towards them.

Wan Lin took a closer look at the two tanks in front of him through the sniper scope. The tank is an American M41 tank with an M3276mm main gun in front and 1 M1919A4E1 on the left side of the gun

7.62mm side-by-side machine gun. The machine gun mount on the roof of the turret also houses an M2HB12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

It was ironic that Wan Lin remembered the US Navy SEALs he had encountered at the hotel, and that the rebels had used their weapons to take their nationals hostage.

"Boom", the tank walking in front of it sneered upwards and tilted to the side. The machine gunner on the turret of the second tank saw that the first one had been blown up, and immediately held the M2HB12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun and fired blindly around. The soldiers in the truck behind jumped out of the truck and lay on the desert, looking for a target in all directions.

Wan Lin and Zhang Wa pulled Xiaohua down to the top of the slope, and the large-caliber bullets of the anti-aircraft machine gun hit the top of the slope and raised a large cloud of sand.

Wan Lin held a small bow in his hand and put three armor-piercing bullets on the bowstring at the same time.

The machine gunner on the tank fired flat fire with an anti-aircraft machine gun for a while, and finding that there was no response, stopped firing.

Manlila, deputy commander-in-chief of the "National United Front", stuck his head out of the turret of the second tank and looked around, and saw that the members of the first tank were looking at the tracks of the tank, and he asked loudly: "What's going on?" "The anti-tank mine was pressed, and the track was blown off."

Glancing at the dust kicked up by the Leopard vehicles in the distance, Manlila angrily ordered the driver of his tank to "not be far from them." Avoid the ruts ahead, bypass them, and catch up from the side." The tank immediately drove to the side, and the soldiers behind saw that the tank was moving, and they all climbed into their respective trucks.

Wan Lin, who was lying behind the dunes, heard that the gunfire stopped, and immediately quietly poked his head out from behind the dunes, saw that the enemy convoy was moving again, handed his sniper rifle to Zhang Wa and whispered, "You kill the machine gunners on the two tanks, cover me", he stood up from behind the sand dunes, and shot three blasting bullets filled with steel needles at the truck behind him.

As Wan Lin jumped, Zhang Wa used Wan Lin's sniper rifle to shoot at the machine gunners on each of the two tanks. The two machine gunners lay on their respective turrets.

"Withdraw" Wan Lin beckoned, Zhang Wa took Xiaohua and quickly ran towards the off-road vehicle. "Boom, boom, boom" three blasting shells exploded in the middle of the truck, and hundreds of steel needles flew in the middle of the three trucks, with a scream of soldiers crying and wolfing.

After shooting the arrow, Wan Lin and the two quickly ran to the side of the off-road vehicle. "Boom", a cannonball exploded on the top of the sand dune where they had just hidden, and a large cloud of sand kicked up and swooped down on them. The two didn't bother to look back, took Xiaohua into the car, and drove the car towards the commando.

"Boom" and "Boom" two shells exploded on the left and right of their off-road vehicle, and the car shook violently twice and continued to move forward.

Seeing the enemy tanks chasing after him with their cannons, Wan Lin quickly hit the steering wheel to dodge the flying shells. The car sped forward in an S-shape on the desert, kicking up large clouds of golden sand behind the car. The fast speed allows the car to jump left and right from side to side through the undulating sand dunes.

"Xiaohua, time bomb" Wan Lin, who was busy driving to avoid the enemy's shelling, shouted Xiaohua, Zhang Wa hurriedly took out a short arrow tied with a time bomb from Wan Lin's backpack, took out a circle of powerful double-sided stickers from her bag and tore off a piece of sticky sticker on the cartridge, sent the arrow to Xiaohua's mouth, and pointed to the tank chasing behind.

Xiaohua jumped out of the speeding car with an arrow in her mouth and sped straight towards the tank behind her. A string of 7.62mm machine gun bullets shot out at Xiaohua, causing a cloud of sand and dust to kick up Xiaohua's side.

Xiaohua rolled on the ground, turned and ran towards the side dunes, kicking up a cloud of sand dust behind her. Wan Lin, who saw Xiaohua in danger from the rearview mirror, yelled at Zhang Wa "smoke bomb", Zhang Wa turned around and pulled out a smoke screen arrow, held the steering wheel with her left hand, and handed the arrow to Wan Lin with her right hand.

"You come to drive," Wan Lin said, taking the arrow, turning sideways to the back seat, leaning out of the side window, opening his bow and shooting out in the direction of the tank. "Boom" a large cloud of smoke rose in front of the tank.

The tank driver suddenly saw a cloud of smoke rising in front of him and instinctively slammed on the brakes. The tank at high speed slammed forward, and the crew inside the tank and the machine gunner on the turret rushed forward sharply.

At this moment, Xiaohua jumped up from behind the sand dunes on the side and crashed into the side of the tank turret, and with the help of the rebound force, let go and chased in the direction where Wan Lin was. Timed arrows strapped to strong double-sided tape are firmly attached to the turret.

Seeing Xiaohua, who was traveling at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, quickly approaching his off-road vehicle, Wan Lin took out a timer and pressed it on the tank that had just rushed out of the smoke screen behind him. The huge explosion caused the tank to tip over on its side on the desert, the thick barrel of the tank was blown bent, and the twin heavy machine guns on the top of the turret were thrown out more than ten meters away.

One of the trucks closest to the tank had been overturned by a powerful blast wave, and dozens of Manlira's men were thrown out of the compartment and fell to the dunes screaming.

The people in the car behind quickly stopped, ran to the side of the overturned tank, and laboriously pried open the top cover of the turret that had been blown up and deformed, and dragged Manlila out inside.

It took a while for Manlira, who had been stunned, to wake up. He shook his head and said a little confused, "What kind of weapons are these Chinese soldiers using", he turned his head to look at the overturned tank and the crooked barrel, shook his head and shouted at his subordinates, "Damn, notify the base camp immediately, intercept these bastards, you can't let them run away like this!" ”
