Chapter 53: The Perfect Ambush



With a land area of nearly 600,000 square kilometers and a population of only 1.8 million, it is not difficult to see from these two sets of data that Botswana is a vast and sparsely populated country. Crossing the border line and bypassing the patrol of the border guards, it was not until the afternoon of the next day that Fengyinglou had led the Oriental Haiyan commando team to go deeper into Botswana for more than 100 kilometers, and finally saw a slightly larger village and town.

This is really just a small town, and in terms of the number of houses, its permanent residents are probably only a few hundred. The whole small village and town still retains some of the original African tribe style, and there are even a few round thatched houses in it, and the road leading to the outside world is the most rudimentary dirt road. However, in the midst of this simplicity and primitiveness, there are two buildings made of reinforced concrete, with a modern atmosphere, standing proudly in the villages and towns, echoing each other from afar, and forming the most stark contrast to everything around them.

As an excellent war correspondent, Nona knows the country of Botswana better than Fengyinglou, and she whispered in Fengyinglou's ear: "That's the school and the hospital." ”

Fengyinglou nodded slightly, although Botswana is an African country, but since they got rid of colonial rule forty years ago, they have not been disturbed by the war, and the most important thing for the country is education and medical work. Here, any child can go to school and receive free primary and secondary education, and even foreigners with passports can receive free treatment in their hospitals.

Because of this, the most striking and sturdy buildings in Botswana's towns are always schools and hospitals.

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Fengyinglou looked back at the soldiers of Dongfang Haiyan behind him. Looking at their strong faces, Fengyinglou clearly knew that they were all tired. In today's rapid march, he saw with his own eyes the iron bull beside him, when crossing the bushes, his arm was scratched by the spikes in the bushes, and blood kept gushing out of the wound, but the iron bull didn't feel any pain, until the wind shadow building walked over and patted him the shoulder, and the iron bull woke up like a dream.

They were surrounded by enemy troops dozens of times their size, and they fought to the death until they ran out of ammunition and food, and they supported for more than two months, and in the last two days, they even followed the Wind Shadow Building at night to fight around, and after achieving a lot of results, they forcibly broke through the siege, and it took only 36 hours to march more than 100 kilometers on foot.

By this time, their mental and physical strength had reached the brink of collapse. Not to mention that the body's ability to react is seriously reduced, even their pain nerves have become dull. They need hot water to wash away the mud and dirt from the sweat and blood on their bodies, they need clean underwear, and they need a soft and warm bed to drive away the fatigue on their bodies. At the very least, they should also eat a few mouthfuls of hot food and drink a few sips of fresh milk, which can be used to re-stimulate their morale because of fatigue.

If they don't get these necessary rests, the Wind Shadow Building will continue to force their way forward, and maybe they will collapse first before they encounter the enemy's attack.

Although this place is not too far from the battlefield, and it has not completely abandoned the pursuit of the enemy, but the situation is forced, Fengyinglou must take the risk of contacting the local residents, he thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Zhou Yuqi! ”

Hearing the voice of the Wind Shadow Building, Zhou Yuqi bent down and trotted all the way to the front of the Wind Shadow Building, "Here!" ”

"You pick two people with flexible minds and fluent English to test them out in the town ahead."

"Do you have a gun?"

"Of course!" Speaking of this, Fengyinglou thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Let them bring the cigarettes and toffee that Tie Niu grabbed the night before yesterday." ”

Nona also spoke, "I'll go with them." ”

Nona is a first-class war correspondent active on the world stage, people like her must have an affinity far beyond ordinary people, no matter the person in front of her, what age, what race, what faith, she can always use the shortest time to establish friendship with each other, guide each other to talk about everything. With her to follow, negotiating with the indigenous people of that small village and town can certainly get twice the result with half the effort. The most important thing is that having such a beautiful woman as her, which makes people feel pleasing to the eye at a glance, can greatly dilute the murderous aura that makes people dare not look at Dongfang Haiyan's professional soldiers.

But Fengyinglou waved his hand directly, and blocked Nona's request without any room for negotiation: "No! ”

Nona pursed the corners of her mouth, and under her watchful gaze, the two soldiers carefully selected by Zhou Yuqi took off their heavy backpacks, leaving only rifles, grenades and combat sabers, and slowly walked towards the small village and town that was a few hundred meters away, where you could faintly hear the rooster and dog barking, full of peace and tranquility.

The two soldiers walked slowly, their gaze swept over and over again over the terrain where they might have been Tibetans, and as mercenaries, every mission they took on was an away battle, and they were faced with suspicious and even hostile gazes. After countless lessons of blood and tears, they have learned to move with the utmost caution when moving in a strange land.

"Haiyan, I'm an old wolf, we have checked the road, there are no deep ruts on it, and there are no marks left by the tracks at the narrow corners of the road, and now it is basically certain that there are no heavy mechanized weapons such as lurking tanks or armored vehicles in the town, I request to officially enter the village and town, and the report is complete!"

Old Wolf is the usual code name of the infiltration team in the Eastern Petrel mercenary unit. Hearing their report, Feng Yinglou's expression remained unchanged, "Falcon, I'm Haiyan, how are you preparing?" ”

"Falcon One, stand by!"

"Falcon Two, take position!"

In the walkie-talkie, two suppressed voices came, in the Chinese special forces, the code name "Eagle" has always been the patent of snipers. The two snipers in the team of the Wind Shadow House have found their respective sniper points and successfully lurked. Once the two "gray wolves" suddenly encounter an attack after entering the village and town, the snipers who are lurking in different positions and have complementary fire horizons will immediately open fire and use the sniper rifles in their hands to cover the retreat of their teammates.

"Tiger, how are you doing?"

In nature, the tiger is the strongest king, and in the special forces, the code name "tiger" is generally reserved for those fire support groups that are equipped with suppressive weapons, and once they are fully released on the battlefield, they can carry out high-intensity coverage strikes against the enemy in a short period of time.

"Tiger One, stand by!"

"Tiger Two, stand by!"

On the walkie-talkie, the voices of the two fire support team leaders were heard. If the Falcon is responsible for clearing the enemies and firepower points in the villages and towns for them once the gray wolves are attacked, the task of the tiger is to suppress the pursuers behind them with high-intensity firepower when the gray wolves retreat.

Wind Shadow House nodded, and finally asked, "Tie Niu, how are you there?" ”

Everyone should know that a cow, in the face of the attack of a ferocious animal, its most powerful weapon is the pair of sharp horns on the top of its head. When a bull weighing more than 300 kilograms really goes crazy, completely crazy, and uses its sharp horns to slam into the enemy with all his might, in the face of the bull that is running faster and faster, and running more and more wildly, even if it is a tiger that dominates in nature, it will never dare to grab its edge from the front.

It is because Niu has this special surname, so in the Oriental Haiyan Army, the title of "Niu" can only be awarded to the bravest and most arrogant among them, no matter what kind of enemy they face, they can hit a broken blow and spell out a narrow road to meet the brave and win the "strong attack group" leader!

And this person, of course, is the Iron Bull!

Once the gray wolf has stepped into the enemy's preset trap, even if he gets the support of two falcons with high-precision snipers, he will not be able to break out of the encirclement, Tie Niu will lead the strong attack team to directly attack the villages and towns, and use the most fierce and direct violent attacks to snatch back the lives of the two teammates from the hands of death!

From the first time he saw the person Iron Bull, Feng Ying Lou felt that he and the Dragon King were the same kind of people.

Tie Niu's voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Ready!" ”

Wind Shadow House nodded slightly, by this time, he had already laid all the security defenses in front of that small village and town, and behind him, there were eight team members, holding weapons and sitting quietly on the ground, as long as Wind Shadow Tower gave an order, he would not hesitate to join the battle. This is the reserve in his hands, and it is also a commander, the last force to capture the fighters and turn the tide when the battle enters a stalemate.

After mentally deducing all possible states until it was certain that nothing was missing, the Wind Shadow House finally ordered: "Gray wolf, enter the village and town from Area A. ”

After giving the order, Feng Yinglou added lightly: "Be careful, come back alive." ”

On the other side of the walkie-talkie, the two sharpshooters were silent for more than ten seconds, and finally someone replied, "Boss, don't worry." ”

Feng Yinglou didn't speak again, because the two sharp soldiers nicknamed the gray wolf, at this time, had already walked into the village and town with a pace that was as slow as possible and did not cause panic.

Thirty-eight percent of the country's area is designated as a nature reserve, attracting travel enthusiasts from all over the world with the most authentic African style. Although the small village is very remote, it is still frequented by tourists who come in to buy food or stay in the town's hotels. The children in the villages and towns had long been accustomed to this situation, and they watched two professional soldiers in ragged clothes, with a strong smell of gunpowder on their bodies, and automatic rifles in their hands, walking in, and what they did subconsciously was to raise a big smile at the visitors.

The contrast between dark skin and white teeth was on the faces of several children who were not yet ten years old, and the overly bright smiles on their faces made people feel ...... It's kind of fake!

The adults in the town, on the other hand, looked at these two yellow-skinned, black-haired Asians who were obviously not in the same world as them. No one screamed, no one immediately fled into the house and closed windows and doors, and no one tried to find weapons to resist or fight back.

This is the most normal attitude of the indigenous people living in Africa towards gun owners. The security here is really poor, and weapons imported from Russia and China are everywhere, and everyone clearly understands that the best way to deal with armed thugs who are extremely nervous because they are committing violent crimes with weapons in hand is to keep quiet and never do anything that provokes the other party.

The robbers who are rampant in Africa, as long as they do not drink too much or take drugs, will no longer deliberately hurt the person who was robbed after grabbing the money, which can be regarded as a happy ending for all. Besides, this small village and town is still a complex of primitive tribes and modern cities, and most of the people who live in it live by grazing, plus the price of goods in this country is too high, and the pockets are tight, even if you open the door and let the robbers enter and rob, there is nothing to worry about.

The children circled around the two Dongfang Haiyan soldiers, they were obviously afraid of the two rifles in the other party's hands, and they also knew that the other party was likely to shoot at them suddenly, but their eyes still flashed with the purest and most direct longing.

After walking more than a dozen steps with the two soldiers, finally the oldest boy couldn't help but speak, because this country, in the sixties of the last century, was still a British colony, and the language they used was the international English language. "Sir, do you have any cigarettes?"

The two Dongfang Haiyan soldiers glanced at each other, and finally one of the soldiers took out a pack of 555 cigarettes from the shops in South African towns from his pocket two days ago, took out one of the 555 cigarettes that he had snatched from the shops in South African towns overnight, and handed it to the boy.

Under the envious gaze of all his companions, the boy carefully broke the cigarette in two, clamped one of it to his ear, and lit the remaining half with a match. As the pale blue smoke rings rose, a happy expression of satisfaction appeared on the boy's face.

The gap between the rich and the poor in this country is so great that an ordinary worker, working ten hours a day, can only get a salary of 900 pula a month, and in a store, a toothbrush, the cheapest one costs five pula. A good towel costs at least 50 pula.

The income is too low and the price is too high, forming too strong a contrast, not to mention these children, even adults, they like to catch foreigners and ask for cigarettes, and they are also divided into two halves at a time, smoking half and leaving half.

So, it's really easy to buy these children.

Each boy was given a cigarette, and the girl was given a piece of toffee, and the children were overjoyed, and when they looked at the two soldiers, they were even more friendly. The soldiers of Dongfang Haiyan, while handing out cigarettes and toffee, asked in a casual manner: "In the past two days, have any people with guns like us entered your town?" ”

Several children shook their heads vigorously, staring at the cigarettes and toffee in each other's hands, for fear that when they were distributed here, they would be distributed.

After sending away a few children, the two soldiers walked slowly along the streets of the village until they walked from the north end of the village to the south end, and then slowly turned back.

Safe!

Looking at the village and town that had been slightly disturbed because of the entry of two armed soldiers, but it quickly returned to calm, Fengyinglou thought for a moment and said, "Tie Niu, you take the assault group and enter the village and town." Falcon and tiger on your toes! ”

Through the binoculars, Fengyinglou looked at Tie Niu, led his six-member assault team, and walked into the village and town unharmed, and the two "gray wolves" who entered first were already squatting together with several local indigenous residents, chatting about something and smoking cigarettes together.

Iron Bull has even used international dollars to buy a few bottles of Coca-Cola, which is definitely a luxury product, in the shops of this small village and town...... As long as the locals are willing to sell you food and other supplies, it means that they don't see you as a friend, and they don't see you as an enemy. Perhaps, in the eyes of these natives, they are nothing more than a group of guests with weapons in their hands, who look murderous, but who have no malice, and who have a lot of money in their pockets.

The assault group led by Tie Niu entered the village and town, and Feng Yinglou watched for ten minutes, and finally gave another order: "Zhou Yuqi, replace the seriously wounded on the stretcher, and you and the members of the reserve team will carry the stretcher into the village and town." Falcon and tiger, keep on your guard! ”

Nona was on the side, quietly listening to the confident and powerful tone of the Wind Shadow Building, giving orders one by one, watching him take out a small notebook, and with just a few strokes of chatting, he sketched the entire village and town, as well as the surrounding terrain, to draw the simplest but practical combat map, and fill in a string of data on it, feeling the concentration that a man naturally exudes when he is fully engaged in work, she must admit that she was surprised again.

This young man has the skill of a lone wolf, the speed of a cheetah, the fierceness of a Bengal tiger, and the cunning of a fox...... Nona originally thought that she had understood the Wind Shadow Building, but it was only at this time that she was surprised to find that there was still a rabbit-like care and caution in this man's body.

Obviously, it was just a small, calm and harmless small village in front of him, and Fengyinglou tried again and again, and in the end, even the reserves walked out on stretchers, but until this time, the sniper and the fire support team, the two trump cards, were still stuck in the most important strategic position outside the village, this kind of caution and caution, not to mention a young man with strong blood, even if he was forty or fifty years old, a veteran of a hundred battles, he might not be able to do better than him.

Lying beside this man, looking at his dark and deep eyes, which faintly reflected the wisdom of the eyes, Nona suddenly found that her heartbeat was like when she first fell in love, facing the sunny and handsome boy, beating faster and faster. At the same time, a person's name appeared in her mind so suddenly and so vividly...... Rommel, the Desert Fox!

Rommel was the most brilliant and talented commander of the German team during World War II. Under his command, the African theater of operations, which was originally only used to contain the actions of the Allied forces, was forced by him to become the main battlefield for the two sides to conduct a tank Armageddon. Not to mention that he defeated the strong again and again, what made Nona admire the most was that when he was fatally hit and the tank troops in his hands suffered heavy losses, and he was no longer able to support the battle situation, he could only continue to retreat, Rommel commanded his remnants, miraculously avoided the 36 encirclements and interceptions of the Allied forces, and avoided the fate of the entire army.

Thirty-six times, skipping the tactical encirclement of the Allies, is that really a miracle?!

Looking at the Wind Shadow Building in front of her, Nona finally understood that real famous generals, they can be as aggressive as fire, they can be as immobile as a mountain, they can be as fast as the wind, they can be as slow as a forest, for people of their level, success, there is really no luck!

"Wind Shadow Building, if you can live to be fifty years old......" Looking at the young and handsome face of Wind Shadow Building, with a serious and persistent face, Nona whispered in her heart: "Your achievements and prestige in this land will be stronger than Rommel, the desert fox!" ”

"Be careful!"

Fengyinglou suddenly let out a wild roar, and Nona, who had put almost all her energy on him, subconsciously turned her head, but she didn't hold a telescope, what could she see?!

Through the binoculars, Feng Yinglou saw the smoke rising from the muzzle of the large-caliber sniper rifle when it was fired, but at that time, his shouting could no longer remind his team members in time.

"Smack!"

A ball of blood suddenly rose from the big tree dozens of meters away from Nona, it was the second falcon, he had been hiding in the big tree with a good view of fire, lush branches and foliage that provided him with enough concealment and cover, but even he didn't expect that he didn't even see the enemy, of course, not a single bullet shot out of the chamber, he was hit by the enemy's sniper.

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of light and crisp automatic rifle firing suddenly came from the villages and towns, I don't know how many enemies, hiding in the upper echelons of hospitals and schools, pouring ammunition at the soldiers of Dongfang Haiyan, facing the condescending and non-stop strafing enemy, the troops led by Zhou Yuqi and Tie Niu, without heavy machine guns and rocket artillery, they could not form an effective counterattack at all, and they were suppressed so that they could not successfully retreat.

Looking at everything in front of him, an absolute coolness hit the heart of Fengying Lou in an instant, and he shouted loudly: "Falcon One, how is your situation there, report to me immediately!" ”

Quietly, no need to ask, the Falcon One, hiding in a bush and wearing a camouflage net, was killed on the spot by enemy snipers at the beginning of the battle, just like Falcon II. There is only one possibility that such an asymmetrical result can be formed, that is, the enemy has already lurked in this place, and the enemy's snipers have carried out the most detailed investigation of all the nearby terrain. Where to ambush snipers, where to have a good sniper vision, and what concealment there are in these positions, they all know it clearly, and they have made the most detailed records.

For first-class snipers, even if they are nearly a kilometer apart, even if there is just an extra basketball-sized object at these sniper points, they will immediately notice that something is wrong!

They were ambushed, perfectly ambushed!
