Chapter 311: Preparations Before Crossing the Desert
To get through the rest of their journey, it's not a walk-and-go trip, they need to be fully prepared, enough food and water for them to live in the desert for a while, and most importantly, a good enough car!
Originally, this guy Wall had his eyes on this US military camp, where all kinds of military vehicles were parked in the parking lot.
For example, the Hummer with the M2 Browning machine gun, which is known as the "king of off-road", has made the car famous for its excellent mobility, off-roadability, reliability and durability, as well as the ability to install various weapons on the load.
And the M2 Browning machine gun added to it is also impressive.
M2 Browning machine gun, commonly known as the 0.50 heavy machine gun. It was a large-caliber heavy machine gun designed by John Moses Browning.
It uses 12.7×99 mm (.50BMG) large-caliber ammunition, which is commonly used in infantry fire positions and military vehicles such as tanks and armored personnel carriers.
The main purpose of this heavy firepower is to attack lightly armored targets, to assemble living targets and low-altitude air defense.
This heavy machine gun can be found almost all over the world, and it has been in service since 1921 and is still popular in the 21st century.
When several people from the Dragon Soul saw these equipment, they drooled one by one.
However, Lin Dong interrupted Wall's unrealistic idea.
Not to mention how difficult it is to get such a vehicle from the US military, it is also very likely to have conflicts with the Americans, and Lin Dong will not do such unnecessary things.
If you want to find something useful, you have to be a big city, but it is clear that the cities along the coast are not calm now, and they are all well guarded, which is not suitable for them to operate.
In the end, Lin Dong and the others decided to go south and go around the oasis city in the desert north of Villa, maybe they would have unexpected gains.
Baini Walid, located 180 kilometers from the capital Tripoli, is an oasis city in the desert of northern Villa, and to the east is Sirte, the military center of the Villazafik regime, and has a very high strategic position.
This is the destination they chose.
Although there is also fighting here, Baini Walid, which hangs alone in the desert, is very suitable for escape. As long as they achieve their goal, they can go directly to the desert, and no matter which side of the war is at that time, it is impossible to find them.
The desert oasis where Baini Walid is located is still very large, after all, the city is the capital of Bainy Walid Province, which requires it to have a good environment to achieve.
Lin Dong and they found an oasis jungle, with an area of less than a kilometer, just on the edge of the city.
Next, Lin Dong and Sophie will infiltrate the city, and if they can, they will also want to steal a better military off-road vehicle.
The army stationed here is the Zafiq government, led by Zafiq's second son, Saif Saif.
However, after nearly two months of hard fighting, the city was on the verge of being breached. The ruins of the city are even more dilapidated than Sirte.
Lin Dong secretly shook his head and sighed, this is the disaster brought about by the war.
The most direct impact of this disaster on Lin Dong and them was that they couldn't even find a good car.
"It looks like we can only attack the army here!" Lin Dong and Sophie glanced at each other.
They had already found a lot of food and water at this time, but there was only a dilapidated van under the seat, and Lin Dong felt that this guy would definitely not be able to go far after entering the desert.
However, just as Lin Dong and the others were about to make a move, the building area that they had chosen to be used as a military camp suddenly made an uproar.
Lin Dong and the two hurriedly hid to the side.
A convoy of nearly thirty vehicles pulled out of the area and sped off into the distance.
Judging from their direction, they were heading towards the interior of the desert.
Lin Dong frowned slightly, as if he had something in mind.
"Are they trying to escape?"
After looking at Sophie and seeing her expression at this time, Lin Dong knew that she wanted to go with him.
"It seems that this Zafiq's son has also seen their final end, and now he is ready to run away!"
Lin Dong said softly.
"But that's good for us, now that the camp is in chaos, we can take advantage of the chaos to go in and get something out!"
Lin Dong smiled slightly, and then walked into the barracks with Sophie.
At this time, this camp was indeed the same as Lin Dong guessed, the entire camp was in chaos, and many soldiers began to flee at this time.
Since this camp is not on the front line, there are not many people in it.
The vast majority of Bainy Walid's troops were on the front line to confront the opposition, and this place was specially prepared to protect Zafiq's son, Saif.
But now that this guy has escaped, it is estimated that the city is not far from being breached.
Although Saif took a lot of vehicles with him when he fled, Lin Dong and the others still found a military off-road vehicle.
The GAZ-3937-Z-3937 series of armored vehicles is a highly mobile light off-road vehicle with light armor similar to the "Humvee" launched by the Gorky Automobile Plant of the former Soviet Union in 1984.
The GAZ-3937-10 is an evolution produced in 1996.
This armored vehicle is 5.6 meters long, 2.1 meters wide and has a net weight of 3.7 tons. The maximum speed can reach 180 km/h.
The roof of the car is equipped with a PKMB machine gun, which is a vehicle-mounted version of the PK series machine guns.
It can be considered weak in terms of armed forces, after all, this is only an armored personnel carrier.
The car in front of Lin Dong was a desert-painted light armored type, and its defense was a little weak, but it was faster. This is also in line with Lin Dong's standards for their use.
Lin Dong saw this kind of vehicle in the convoy just now, but it was a thickened type. I thought Saif had taken all of them with him when he fled, but I didn't expect there to be one left.
"It's a little broken, but it's much better than the previous van!" Lin Dong muttered.
Next, Lin Dong and Sophie each carried a large barrel of diesel fuel and put it in the back compartment, plus the 200-liter fuel tank of the car itself, which was enough for them.
After getting ready, Sophie and Lin Dong sat in the driver's and co-pilot's seats, and with one foot on the accelerator, the armored car roared out of the camp like an angry rhinoceros.
Although there were still some remaining soldiers in the camp, they did not react to the armored vehicles that rushed out, as they were now too busy to take care of themselves.
Arriving at the place where they were hiding their food, they put all the food and water in the car, and then the two of them drove towards the woods where they were hiding.
Driving such a vehicle, it is easy to be misunderstood by the armed men of the opposition, so they need to leave the city as quickly as possible.
