Text Chapter 59: Contact the base
The vast Badain Jaran Desert in Ejina Banner is vast and lonely, deserted, but the poplar forest here is a desert scene, well-known at home and abroad.
It's autumn now, and occasionally you can see three or two yellow sheep, jackals and camels in the golden poplar forest from the car window, and the powerful Humvee is speeding through the desert, and the roar of the engine attracts these desert creatures to stop and watch from time to time.
Razor looked at the compass on the military Longines watch to point the fuse in the direction and said: "This place belongs to the territory of Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia, and the location is in the northwest of Inner Mongolia. According to the normal speed of the archaeological team, they will not be able to enter Blackwater City until tonight.
"It is estimated that the People's Liberation Army, which has always thought that you deliberately killed his squad leader, will definitely report to the local government, this place is a military town, and it is possible that the border garrison will start arresting us tonight and tomorrow at the latest.
"We are now going to take advantage of the fact that the archaeological team members have not yet arrived in Heishui City, take advantage of the time difference, go straight north, and rush to Ceke Town, the border port of Inner and Outer Mongolia, as soon as possible, and after arriving there, cross the national border into the South Gobi of Outer Mongolia, and only after entering Outer Mongolia can it be considered safe."
Li Qingcang asked: "When can we get to Ceke, it's not so easy to cross the border, is it not guarded by the People's Liberation Army?" ”
Razor replied: "If nothing else, we will be able to rush to the border in the afternoon, the border between Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia is more than 3,000 kilometers, most of which are no man's land, as long as we avoid the border guards, what is the difficulty of crossing it?" ”
As he spoke, he took out a brick-like satellite phone from his backpack, pulled out a thick antenna, crackled his fingers, and spoke into the phone in English after connecting, and the other party also answered in English, anyway, after talking for a long time, Li Qingcang didn't understand a word.
Looking at Li Qingcang's misty look, Razor explained to him: "I just got in touch with the captain, he will contact the base immediately, and the base will arrange someone to pick us up." ”
Li Qingcang heard that he had made a phone call and the matter of crossing the border was settled, and he couldn't help asking, "It's so simple, where is your captain?" Where is the base? Mongolia also has your people? How many people are on your team? ”
Hearing Li Qingcang's curious series of questions, Razor laughed and said: "I said kung fu boy, you are too underestimated of the "iron and blood" mercenary group, since you dare to claim to be the world's number one mercenary group, which country will not have our people, even China." Base? There are more than a dozen, some large and some small.
"How many people? Let me think...... There were about 200 combatants, and the rest of the non-combatants were not clear, and they had to ask the captain to find out.
"Anyway, there are a lot of logistics personnel in each big base who provide logistics support for everyone and collect intelligence, and the captain is now helping the government army fight the Chechen rebels in Russia, and they have basically completed the task.
"Originally, our plan was to enter Kazakhstan from Altay in Xinjiang after completing this mission, and then go to Gruzny to meet the captain and them, and now that the captain and they have also completed the mission, let's all go to Outer Mongolia to meet."
Li Qingcang didn't expect that Iron Blood would have such a huge scale, which exceeded his expectations, and he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
Razor was even more proud when he saw his surprised expression, as if he was showing off how rich his family was.
Continue to talk to Li Qingcang about the huge strength of "Iron Blood", now the income of "Iron Blood" is not entirely obtained on the battlefield, and many countries have various regular companies invested by the team.
Non-combatants are all over the world, and the military and political heads of some small countries have good personal relations with some members of our ranks, and the combatants are treated the highest in the ranks, and all non-combatants are in the service of combat units, so it is absolutely a very honorable thing to be able to enter the "iron-blooded" combat units. ”
Li Qingcang was skeptical when he heard this, these two sometimes murderous, sometimes obscene men took such pains to pull him into the team, and blew the strength of the team so wildly, what dangerous task did he want to do or what other reasons, but it was not good to ask directly.
But after thinking about it, I was relieved, although it was more dangerous on the battlefield, it seemed that I had never done anything that was not dangerous since I left home and walked the rivers and lakes.
A person who infiltrated the Xixia Yipintang alone to assassinate Tuoba Hong, now I think back a little scared, if it weren't for that strange black hole, I might not be able to kill Tuoba Hong with my martial arts at that time.
If you can't kill it, your fate will either be dead or caught, and this trip to the ancient tomb, the murderous black fog that the Xixia people call the Dark Demon King, as well as the razor and fuse, are extremely dangerous.
If they wanted to kill themselves, they would have been dead long ago, since they said that "iron and blood" is so powerful, it is not bad, they have only been in this world for three months, although some basic things are barely understood, but there are still many things to learn.
Razor and fuse are nothing else, but at present, I have seen that their marksmanship and language are much better than my own, and since it is not a bad thing to be with these top professional soldiers.
What's more, as they just said, there is still a lot to learn, and just listening to that large list of studies makes people dizzy, and if they can learn it themselves, they don't know what it will become.
Seeing that he was in a daze, Razor didn't bother him, took out his satellite phone again, and began to talk in English, this time to communicate with contacts in Outer Mongolia to see where to meet.
After a while, he hung up the phone and said to the two: "Okay, it's done, let's go to the Ceke port, and someone there will pick us up then." ”
As soon as the fuse heard it, it exploded a little throttle, there are many lakes in the Badain Jaran Desert, mainly in the Gobi and desert landforms, there are few people, and the soft sand cannot trap the powerful steel monsters, and the Humvee is running wildly in the desert.
In the afternoon, I came to the border near the small town of Ceke, a seasonal port that is open four times a year, on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, for 20 days each time.
A number of simple paved houses were set up on the edge of the border post to form a bazaar, which was very eye-catching on the desolate Gobi Desert.
It's September, just the day the port opens, the bazaar is still crowded, the goods are piled up, and a simple cement road connects the Mongolian Sibekulun port through the port.
As long as you pass through this outpost, the land on the opposite side is the territory of Mongolia.
Razor used a telescope in the car to observe the duty situation of the post for a while, and found nothing unusual, and everyone at the entrance and exit ports had to show their documents, and many tall old hairy people did not check the sentry very seriously when they crossed the border.
The neat barracks and the wide training ground were quiet, not in a state of being facing a great enemy, and it seemed that the guard post had not yet been notified.
The razor and fuse are dressed in a foreign military uniform, which is quite eye-catching, and the razor is better, after all, Lao Maozi is also Caucasian.
The fuse was different, and when he stood in the crowd with this complexion, he was simply throwing a black gnocchi in a pile of white-flour buns and miscellaneous noodles.
In this northwest frontier land, I don't know how much attention is drawn, so in order not to attract attention, I only ask Li Qingcang to buy some food at the market, and then drive to the only gas station in the town to wait.
The three of them ate in the car and waited for the connector to show up, and it wasn't long before Razor's satellite phone rang and the connector came, and Razor told him to meet at the gas station in town.
After about ten minutes, a Toyota cruiser drove into the gas station, and from it came a white man in a black coat, who was also very tall, with a big nose and a beard.
As soon as he got out of the car, he walked straight to the Humvee, and after Razor lowered the window and exchanged words with him in English, he confirmed the identities of both parties.
The man waved his head and motioned for everyone to get into his car, and the three of them immediately changed cars and sat in each other's Toyotas.
There was also a small Mongolian in the car, and when he saw a few people coming up, he didn't say a word, and nodded a little crampedly to say hello to a few people.
The big white man who took them to the car hurriedly introduced them in English, and Razor knew that Li Qingcang didn't understand, and when the introduction was finished, he said to Li Qingcang in Chinese: "This is Alexander, a Russian." ”
Then he exchanged words with Alexander, and made a few gestures to Bruce Lee.
As a result, Alexander's eyes lit up and copied the broken Chinese and said, "Oh! I love Bruce Lee. Mister Lee, it's a good luck! ”
The little Mongolian man who drove the car was named Jiri Galang, the head snake of the Xibekulun port, and he was very familiar with the geography here.
Then Alexander told the Razor that there was a small river about half an hour's drive from here, and that the river ran through Inner and Outer Mongolia, and because it was a river, it was not cut off by barbed wire.
The river is very watery in spring and summer. It's deep, it's the dry time of autumn, there is no river water, and cars can drive directly over it.
However, there are armed patrols every morning and afternoon, at fixed times, and sometimes at irregular intervals.
The border guards of Outer Mongolia will also patrol there from time to time, and they are still relatively tightly guarded. However, Jiri Galang has already bought off the border guards on the other side, and as long as we can cross the border, the Mongolian border guards will not patrol there today.
Later, I will take advantage of the armed patrols of the Chinese border guards to go to the barracks gate to make a photo of a skirmish, to attract their attention, and Jiri Galang will lead you to cross the border from that place as soon as possible.
The fuse asked: "Can the Chinese side buy them?" ”
Alexander replied: "The time is too rushed, and the Chinese contacts are too far away. I don't know the local forces here, so I won't be able to do it anytime soon. ”
Several people listened to Alexander say this, and they all expressed their understanding and agreed with his plan.
