Chapter 536: The Last Trail
Above the desert, the scorching sun is scorching, the scorching sun is baking the earth, the rolling heat wave makes people feel suffocated, even sitting in the car, the three of them are still soaked with sweat, but fortunately, there is plenty of drinking water to quench their thirst.
Sitting on the somewhat hot seat, Yun Tian looked ahead, and the news he learned further made the three of them a little happy, but that bad premonition also appeared in their hearts again.
From the confession of several people, it was learned that they were indeed attacked a few days ago, but the other party fled after robbing a car, and they lost more than 20 people on their side, and also killed three people on the opposite side, and according to their descriptions, those people were indeed pandas and others Undoubtedly, but who sacrificed, they did not make it clear.
Later, the group of pursuers known as the Holy Army also arrived here the next day, and after getting the information, they immediately followed the trail, so I am afraid that the pandas are still very dangerous.
In addition, until now, they have not been in contact with the headquarters, and no one knows what happened to them in the Gobi Desert for so many days.
The car kept shaking, except for Niu Boyu who was driving, Yun Tian and Tang Xi hurried to rest, the truth was getting closer and closer, but the danger was also getting closer and closer, now Yun Tian could only pray, they were just captured alive, so that they would have a chance to rescue their comrades.
When night fell, the car drove into a mound area, this mound is the only way to the headquarters, although there is no stronghold nearby, but when the car drove in, Yun Tian suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.
The undulating hills here are definitely a natural barrier, and at the same time the only road to the headquarters, if the enemy sets up an ambush here and pursues and intercepts them, it will be very troublesome.
"We all guessed, how could the other party know."
After hearing Yuntian's doubts, Niu Boyu shook his head, they all guessed their goals based on information, and as those militants, how could they know in advance.
Although the vast Gobi is a necessary road here, if you turn around and drive into the Gobi Desert, it is difficult to find it, so even if there is a moat here, there is no problem.
"Don't forget Jì, they have cut off contact with the headquarters, it is obvious that there is an inner ghost, and who this inner ghost is, I'm afraid they don't know for the time being, otherwise they won't be in contact with all the bases."
Tang Xi thought for a moment and then spoke.
"That's right, but if they know that there is an inner ghost, then the person they arrested is probably an important person who can force the inner ghost, so they will walk on this road in order to transport the inner ghost back to the headquarters, although it is not clear what the inner ghost is doing, but obviously, such an important person was arrested, and the inner ghost must have gotten the news."
Yun Tian nodded, Tang Xi was right, of course those armed elements would not know their purpose, but as an internal ghost, I am afraid that this guy knows very well where these people are going.
So how could he have guessed that the next route they were going to, then this was tantamount to the last wall.
"You mean, pandas, they're probably ambushed here?" After being analyzed by the two of them, Niu Boyu realized the danger.
Looking at the mounds that were taller than the building standing there, I suddenly felt a hairstorm in my heart.
If there is an ambush there, it will be really difficult to escape.
"It's possible, but they're obviously aware of it, and now they're just going to have to look for it."
Yun Tian's eyebrows were tightly locked, and the pandas were all veterans, especially with huskies and others inside, as a group fight, their combat effectiveness should be no problem.
Although the ravines are thick, they also have a fight against the untrained militants.
Moreover, although this terrain is dangerous, it is also a lot of obstacles, and when the other party has a place to defend, they also have a position to defend, so that everyone is half a catty and eight taels, and they can escape if they can't fight.
The only thing to worry about now is whether the king's mercenaries are also in the war, and if they do, then I don't know how it will happen.
The last few times I didn't have a chance to capture them alive, so there is no confession to prove that they were involved, and now I can only look for some clues.
Niu Boyu drove the car forward little by little, while Yuntian and Tang Xi jumped out of the car and walked along the hills on the left and right.
Although more than ten days have passed, those traces should have disappeared a long time ago, but things like bullet holes will definitely not disappear lightly.
Slowly moving forward, they walked in the canyon against the cold wind of the night, looking at the earthen walls on the left and right sides without too many traces, which also made their hanging hearts temporarily put down, but at this moment, Niu Boyu suddenly galloped by, because in the headlights, he saw something.
"It's a car, it's a car, this should be the car they robbed before!"
Turning on the headlights overhead, Niu Boyu immediately shouted excitedly, and his call immediately attracted the attention of Yun Tian and Tang Xi, and the two of them immediately jumped into the car.
Soon, the car was parked a hundred meters away, and in the middle of the road was a dilapidated car full of bullet marks, which was mentioned by the same people.
When he came closer, Yun Tian looked at the vehicle full of bullet holes, and suddenly felt dizzy as if he had been drained in his heart.
Especially before I got to the front of the car, I smelled another foul smell, which was the smell of decomposing corpses.
"Click!"
After walking a few steps, Yun Tian lifted the back cover of the car, and several corpses in front of him had turned into dried corpses, black dried meat wrapped in bones, because of the shade and scorching heat here, they had become mummies.
"It's okay, it's not a panda, it seems to be a special forces soldier who has been M before!"
Yun Tian's heart was cold, but as he looked at the three corpses again, the clothes of these corpses were obviously different from theirs, although they were all camouflage uniforms, but the camouflage uniforms of various countries were very different, and they were also blue helmets, which also proved that they belonged to the peacekeeping forces.
"Could this be the one who was killed in that stronghold?"
looked left and right, and didn't see other corpses, Tang Xi's hanging heart was a little relieved, and she frowned and said when she walked to the back of the car.
"It should be, if they were killed here, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to get into the car, and these bullet holes and bullet marks on the body of the car are mild, which also proves that they were lying here after they died, and they were also hit by bullets, so they were dead before this battle."
Yun Tian carefully observed the qi in front of him, and circled around the car a few times, but he found that the car seemed to be hit badly by bullets, but there was no blood in it, so that is to say, the people in the car left the car before the other party opened fire, from this point it can be judged that the other party's attack did not make them panic, and at the same time, there must be a guard post in front of the vehicle.
According to this inference, Yun Tian immediately walked forward, and the bullet marks along the way were shocking, and the entire land seemed to be swept away by bullets, and the dense bullet holes almost covered the entire ravine.
Yun Tian squatted down, took out the fish intestine sword, and kept digging the bullet marks that were shot into the soft ground, from the traces they submerged under the ground, you could judge the direction of the bullet shot, and carefully observe the trajectory in front of you, it was obvious that these bullets were fired from the canyon formed by the two mounds on the left and right.
kept digging for warheads, and soon, Yuntian found several complete warheads.
Although it was slightly deformed, it was still complete, and with it in his hand, Yun Tian walked forward again.
The bullets in front of the two stone piles were the most dense, and after a few circles around the rocks, Yun Tian judged that there were once people hiding here.
However, there are hundreds of bullet marks in that dense, and hiding here in the rain of bullets and bullets may not have a chance to return fire.
So that is to say, there were two people who used to open the way here and hid on the spot after discovering the problem.
"How? What did you find? ”
Tang Xi looked at Yun Tian with his eyebrows tightened, they were not logistics, let alone professional instruments to distinguish, what they could rely on was their understanding of the entire battle after experiencing the battle themselves.
"Probably restore part of it, look at this!"
As Yun Tian spoke, he handed the warhead in his hand to Tang Xi.
"This should be a 5.56 caliber bullet."
Putting it in his hand, Tang Xi roughly compared the warhead and roughly judged the caliber of the bullet.
"That's right, I dug up some of these bullets in several places, and all of them are 5.56 caliber, so obviously, there doesn't seem to be an AK47 among these people."
Yun Tian nodded, this was the same as his judgment, these bullets were all 5.56 caliber bullets.
The caliber of AK47 is 7.76, which is more powerful, while the 5.56 caliber bullet should belong to the American M16 and M4 automatic rifle series of bullets.
As a relatively common AK47 for militants, the number of people in this ambush was at least more than 100 people, and all the equipment in their hands was American, which was definitely unseen before.
Most of the militants I met before had old equipment in their hands, these AK47s and RPGs were all exported before the collapse of the Soviet Union, and they belonged to antique-level weapons in the eighties of the last century.
Even the two heavy machine guns they grabbed last time were DSHK machine guns from the last century, and the last batch was eliminated in the eighties, but in this barren land, it was indeed an important piece of equipment for combat.
But the American-made equipment that appeared this time is definitely a new type of weapon, which is similar to the equipment found in Tahid's lair before, this feeling is from the Middle Ages, like a samurai, to a **** musket, brand-new American-made weapons and old Soviet antiques, of course, not a grade.
