Chapter 160: Expected

With the startling of a large flock of birds, the large army of the rebels finally appeared in everyone's field of vision. It was as if there were suddenly countless more people in the jungle, and behind every tree, there were rebel soldiers.

Seeing the river beach in front of them, many people cheered high, and some even began to run towards the river. Having marched in this rainforest all the way, exhausted from being disturbed, the heat was unbearable. Seeing this clear river, where can I still hold back.

The man running in front of him accidentally kicked an inconspicuous pebble. Suddenly, there was a bang under the stones, and the soldier's body was blown up by the shock wave of the explosion, and he turned several circles in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, broke one of his legs, and vomited blood from his mouth.

At this moment, everyone who ran out immediately realized that at this time, still during the war, the enemy was still sparing no effort to find an opportunity to attack him. All the people who ran out froze their bodies and slowly retreated. Even so, when retreating, someone accidentally touched two very well hidden mechanisms, causing two explosions of fire and several wounded.

There are few trees around the river beach and good campsites. The rebels, who had been frightened by the explosion for a few minutes, quickly began to cut down trees on the spot.

Ten minutes later, several thick trees were sawed off with a hacksaw, and the branches around them were cut down, and then several thick trunks lined up and rolled towards the river beach.

It was a very effective trick, and the big log rolled over, and there was an explosion with a boom. Until the wood rolled into the river and there was no more explosion. Zhao Li's small means arranged in advance were completely destroyed by these big logs.

"There are still some characters in the rebels." Zhao Li and Sanders lurked together, watching the moves on the other side of the river.

"Unfortunately, they still can't pick up the pace." Sanders stared at the other side and replied faintly. Zhao Li's purpose was to harass the enemy and slow down their march, although the bombs had been destroyed by wood, but they managed to gain at least half an hour.

The chaotic rebels finally rushed to the river with confidence and boldness, and some of them knelt down by the river, picked up the cool river water, and poured it on their faces. It seems that the coolness of that moment is more comfortable than the air conditioning of a luxury office.

A large group of rebels, which began to divide into several parts, rested by the river. No one dared to drink the river water directly, and they all boiled it with medicine after drawing water. At first glance into this tropical jungle, there are already dozens of people who are not accustomed to the soil and water and suffer from diseases, the lessons of the past are in front of us, learning from mistakes is the fastest way, and now those guys seem to have begun to slowly adapt to the jungle life.

The ambush locations Zhao Li and the others chose were all the kind of hidden places where they could only see each other through a narrow gap in the trees. Unless it's in their direction, it's impossible to see people, let alone attack.

From the forest, as long as it exceeds one hundred and fifty meters, the dense trees will hide all the figures. Even if you are close to the point, you need to see it through some narrow gaps. Here, long-range snipers are almost useless, and within a hundred meters, there is no difference between ordinary fighters and snipers.

"Ready!" Zhao Li's voice sounded in everyone's ears, and everyone made a loud noise and pulled the bolt.

It was already dark, and the rebel soldiers were probably tired, and when they arrived here, they were frightened by the bombs on the river beach, and when they began to rest, they no longer had the same vigilance as before. Although the commander frowned a little when he saw this situation, but with so many people, all of them were tired, it also made him unable to harden his heart and let them continue to tense that nerve, and could only let some elites be responsible for guarding the surroundings.

"Shoot a volley, and then immediately retreat to location seven as planned!" Zhao Li began to tell everyone again, and after hearing everyone's reply, he aimed at the fire on the opposite bank, pulled the trigger, and shouted at the same time: "Fire!" ”

Ten chains of bullets, each of which was aimed at the rebels in one direction, began to roar. Da watched the dozen or so bullet chains shoot towards his robe, but he was indifferent.

The blow came and went quickly, and when someone finally remembered to fight back, picked up a gun and fired indiscriminately at the opposite bank, there was no sound on the other side.

"Ceasefire, ceasefire!" A low-level commander noticed the anomaly on the other side and hurriedly shouted for everyone to cease fire, forgetting that his figure had been exposed.

Bang, the commander who was screaming suddenly shook his body, and there was an extra blood hole in his head, and he fell directly into the fire next to him, causing another panic among the surrounding soldiers. There were more bullets fired at the other side.

Sanders calmly put away his gun, turned and left. He stayed a little longer, but found such a target worth shooting, which can be regarded as a small profit.

Ten people, led by Zhao Li and Sanders, evacuated to the predetermined location in the dark but very quickly. The gunshots behind him rang out for several minutes before they slowly stopped.

For Zhao Li's harassment and retardation tactics, the commander of the rebel army was a little helpless at this time. There are not many people on Zhao Li's side, but all of them are masters who are proficient in jungle warfare, and they are all ready to go, and they don't fight against the team at all. An elite team was sent to hunt, but only six or seven came back more than ten hours ago, and the others were never heard from again. Being disturbed by Zhao Li and them like this, morale and marching speed have dropped a lot, and there are many more wounded who need to be taken care of, which is very troublesome.

This time, the task may not be as easy as imagined. I couldn't help it, and the colonel commander also had some opinions on this mission arranged by his superiors. To curb the enemy's weapons upgrade plans, all you have to do is blast that rainforest mine to pieces, and you don't have to take it into your own hands. And that tactic is the simplest and most effective.

Of course, he also knows the benefits of keeping the rainforest mining in his own hands. If the side of the weapon upgrade is its own people, then the outcome of the war will be another ending, this is the idea above. Blowing up the rainforest mining and putting both sides back on the same page can only be the worst-case scenario.

After all, no matter how you say it, the rainforest mining industry appears as a civilian product, and once it is destroyed, the rebels' perception in the minds of the people will be even worse. Now the federal political axe has spared no effort to demonize the rebel political axe, if it does this again, it will be more politically passive, even if it occupies certain areas, it will not be able to really rule and manage.

"Small fights, no climate!" Although he thought so in his heart, the words that came out of his mouth were a different statement: "They don't dare to fight with us face to face, at best, a team of 200 people, and when our army reaches its destination, see what they can do against us!" The more they are so disturbed, the more they are not sure of victory, and they can only follow these crooked ways. ”

The short speech quickly calmed down the surrounding soldiers. The reason is very simple, and everyone immediately agrees with it. The other party is so good, even if this method is adopted, there is no certainty of victory. It's just a matter of postponing the winning time of several parties, and there will be no change in the ending.

Next, the theme remains the same, even if it is a break, there are still people shooting at the perimeter. However, the tired rebel soldiers, who had been harassed by this kind for several days, seemed to have become accustomed to such a life. Except for the soldiers on duty, the others slept peacefully like dead pigs. Or the coolness by the river also has something to do with it, no way, it's too tired, sleep down, even if you die, you don't want to get up.

When crossing the river, there was still a hint of surprise. In the water, a bomb was also planted, and a soldier accidentally touched it, and the flesh and blood of the explosion were blurred, and the river water was stained red. As a last resort, the commander could only let a few soldiers with ropes explore the way in the river and find out a few safe routes, and everyone pulled the rope to cross the river along several safe routes, and no one dared to walk around.

In this way, it took the brigade more than four hours just to cross the river, and the river was not very sad. This kind of time spent makes the colonel commander angry the most, when will he get to his destination with such a delay along the way? If it is not controlled on time, the sacrifice of the warriors on the planet who are fighting to buy them time will be meaningless.

In less than five days, more than 400 people have been killed or wounded, including more than 200 casualties, a reduction rate of more than one-tenth. What distressed the colonel commander the most was that there were only more than twenty of the entire hundred special fighters left, and the strength of the enemy was beyond the expectations of the colonel commander.

The six or seven special fighters who almost fled back in embarrassment all proved that the other party was two people. With just two people, the elite squad of more than forty people was almost wiped out, which was by no means an ordinary master.

The intelligence shows that the entire marginal planet is all lax in armaments, and the Golden Five-Star Region should be no exception, how can there be such a master guarding it? Could it be that because of the emergence of new materials, the federal political axe has increased its troops? However, all the information shows that except for the first few transport fleets, no aircraft has ever reached the Golden Five. And those transport ships are said to only transport the products of the rainforest mining industry, so where do these masters come from?

But no matter how you say it, there are only two masters on the other side. Others should be ordinary warriors who have been active here for a long time and are familiar with jungle life. Therefore, although the pathfinders in front of them have also been eliminated, the news they got also proved that the other party also suffered casualties.

As long as there are casualties, the strength of 4,000 people is still afraid that it will not be able to grind 200 people? On Zhao Li's side, at best, these two masters are powerful, as long as they are eliminated, everyone else will be fine.

However, since the more than forty people in the elite squad were not the opponents of the two, the colonel commander no longer sent people to provoke the two masters. In group operations, the role that two masters can play is too little. While killing enemies is important, it's even more important to complete the main mission.

In the next few days, the task of Zhao Li and the other fighters was to keep harassing and harassing. Calculate the path of the rebels, arrange a few small traps, or shoot them from a distance. It is completely based on the tactics of delay, and does not even seek lethal effect, just to make the enemy tremble and be cautious with every step. As a result, Zhao Li and the others had no casualties except for the accidental sprain of a soldier.

While harassing and retreating, the rebels seemed to have been following the route calculated by Zhao Li and Sanders, as if they had chosen the closest route in order to achieve the fastest effect. Although they were delayed by Zhao Li and them for almost three days on the road, they still unswervingly followed the route to kill.

It is still almost a day's journey from the mountain pass where Li Mengdie and they are stationed. Along the way, Zhao Li and the others had already added almost 100 casualties to the rebels. It's just that this figure doesn't seem to be a problem for the rebels at all. The colonel's commander even sent a hundred men directly, leaving all the wounded to camp and take care of them when they passed through an open field, and the others shook off the wounded and sick and hurried forward.

Along the way, I learned from the communication with Li Mengdie that the gunman and several of their wounded had successfully returned to the garrison position. Moreover, what made Zhao Li happiest was that although the gunman lost too much blood, his life was successfully saved. The body still needs to recuperate for a period of time, and it is not able to move for the time being. This news made Zhao Li a lot happier. When the other fighters heard the good news, they even bothered their tactics and became a little more energetic.

The rebels also seemed to have discovered from the map that the terrain of the mountain pass where Li Mengdie and they were stationed was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and when there was still half a day's way away, the rebels camped and rested on a large scale again. This situation made Zhao Li a little confused, could it be that the other party had guessed that he would set up a position to hold there?

Just when Zhao Li was also puzzled, Li Mengdie suddenly came with bad news.

"Zhao Li, those guys from the Black Dragon Society really have something to do with the rebels, and there are at least a team of more than a thousand people who have come up from behind us!" Then, there was a violent gunshot in the communicator, and after a while, Li Mengdie spoke up again: "Don't worry, after notifying us that day, we are ready to do both, these guys, don't think about it so easily!" ”
