Chapter 1164: The Last Moment
No corpses were found at the scene of the battle, and it was impossible for Li Mu to turn over every inch of land that had not been turned over by shells and plows to search.
In fact, there are only corpses, and clues can be found from the surface.
Gao Ge walked down from the commanding height used by Lin Jing, and according to his judgment, the height of that commanding height had been cut off by at least two meters, which showed that the intensity of the artillery bombardment almost caught up with the bombing standard of Flolit's ammunition.
"Instructor, there is nothing to be found from the commanding heights. To be sure, there were no casualties among the Raptors, at least not here. Gog boldly voiced his judgment.
Song Xiaojiang ran over from there, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Li Mu, "Teacher, I've seen it all, and there are no corpses, but I found some abandoned damaged equipment, some guns and small mortars or something. ”
Li Mu nodded slightly, looked up at the sky in the east, and the sky had already opened up at this time. Pursuing them at night and eventually forcing the Raptors to lose contact with the DIS armored forces was definitely not simple. The battlefield was so hurried that they even collected the corpses of their own soldiers - you know, the DIS forces have always ignored the fallen soldiers, and even the wounded are difficult to get good treatment.
"The fact that the battlefield was cleaned so clean, and that it was done in one night, says two things. Li Mu said in a deep voice, "What we encountered was not an ordinary DIS unit, their combat methods were very professional. Second, their purpose is to kill us, and they take it in their stride. ”
Gao Ge and Song Xiaojiang waited for Li Mu's order.
Li Mu glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "Be mentally prepared, we will meet a strong opponent." It is quite possible that several countries have united to support the forces. ”
"Instructor, aren't you an American behind the DIS?" asked Goge, puzzled.
Li Mu said, "It's not that simple. ”
He pointed at Song Xiaojiang, "Go and set up the battlefield monitor, let's withdraw." ”
Song Xiaojiang hurriedly went. The small battlefield monitor, which is only the size of a shoe box for easy covert arrangement, uses the GPS signal of the Americans to transmit, and through the transit station to the terminal carried by the adventurer commando, the signal will be transferred encrypted and transmitted back to the adventurer's house.
Wang Guoqing called in the communication channel, "Boss, we have found something here, like a mark." ”
Kolevsky supplied military-grade shortwave radios that could provide unimpeded communication at a range of up to eight kilometers.
Gao Ge checked the working status of the battlefield monitor and gave Li Mu a thumbs up.
The trio quickly returned to their temporary stopover.
The convoy followed the road southwest into the belly of the mountain, a five-kilometer radius of ravines and mountains, and the road that passed here was a trail that camels and donkeys had only come out of for an unknown number of years. After careful interpretation of the satellite maps, it was determined that the roads were suitable for high-mobility off-road vehicles such as Humvees.
Wang Guoqing conducted a careful search of the ground and found some traces, including messy footprints and animal footprints, but there were no traces of motor vehicles running over.
After Li Mu came back, Wang Guoqing pointed to the traces on the ground, and in the brighter and brighter sunlight, he said, "Judging from the footprints, there are at least a dozen people, and the traces are different, and they are not unified standard shoes." But strangely, no traces of vehicle running over were found. The road is accessible to small motor vehicles. ”
Zhang Lin tore off the scarf covering his mouth, took a breath, and said, "At least it's certain that there were no casualties among the Raptors commandos." They retreated along this road into the mountains, and these intricate footprints must have been undoubtedly pursuers. ”
"Did the drone make any discoveries?" asked Li Mu.
Zhang Lin hurriedly looked at Lu Wei, who was concentrating on operating the unmanned reconnaissance plane not far away, and then she shook her head regretfully at Li Mu, "It doesn't seem to be." ”
Standing up, Li Mu said, "Follow the traces, the best reconnaissance is to make contact." ”
The convoy continued to set off, chasing as fast as possible on the rugged mountain roads. Almost ten hours passed, and there was not much hope that anyone would catch up with the people ahead. Moreover, there is still a very important question that has not been clarified - since the Raptors have no casualties, what exactly happened to them and lost contact.
Did you get caught?
This is basically impossible, the Raptors are people who do special work, and they will definitely not be captured.
What the hell is going on?
With questions and worries, the group drove into the mountains under the morning sun that completely got up, and under the sun shining on the earth, the temperature was brewing up, and at noon, the surface temperature would exceed 50 degrees, and the temperature would reach the highest time of the day.
The Raptors commandos were almost the same as Li Mu and others analyzed, they had no casualties, except for some skin injuries, everyone had to be fully tailed.
They did take the initiative to retreat into the mountains, and during the overarching shelling at night, Jiang Zhongyi immediately gave the order to retreat. The purpose of covering the retreat of Li Mu and the others has been achieved, and he will not be stupid enough to take a few soldiers and the enemy's armored troops to face the bar.
However, there is no hope of evacuating to areas controlled by Syrian government forces, which have long been blockaded by the front-line forces of the DIS forces.
The support promised by the front-line troops of the Syrian government army could not even see the shadow of a soldier, and the plane was released without any suspense, even if strong pressure from the embassy did not help. Fortunately, the Raptors have never handed over their back roads to outsiders.
Jiang Zhongyi and the others had done their homework before coming here, and they knew that the Syrian government army had formed several factions, which were basically equivalent to the GMD army during the Liberation War, and they were suspicious of each other, and they were all worried about the loss of their own strength.
The Syrian government forces fighting the DIS forces in the Madaya region are divided into two factions, and the two sides blame each other, and it is strange that they can send support. For example, the 11th Division of the Syrian government army sent escort troops to escort support groups to the front line, which was only made possible by the joint efforts of all parties.
Under the complicated situation, no one can trust anyone except their own people.
Jiang Zhongyi and the others were quite embarrassed and rushed into the mountains in the night, followed by the DIS infantry in hot pursuit, and almost half a company of the enemy pursued on foot. Then, Jiang Zhongyi soon discovered that among the half company of chasing soldiers behind his buttocks, there must be very professional expert-level combat masters, and they bit very nervously.
The Raptors have not rested for three days and nights, and after a big battle, in addition to physical exhaustion, they have encountered one of the biggest problems - they have run out of ammunition.
In this situation, Jiang Zhongyi prepared for the worst, and after making the last contact with the adventurer's house, he led the troops to escape into a cave, only to find that the communication equipment had run out of the last bit of power at some point, and the spare battery had been lost in the fierce battle.
At this point, all four officers and soldiers of the Raptors commando were ready to die for their country. And just when they were guarding the entrance of the cave and engaged the pursuing soldiers until they ran out of ammunition and left only one bullet for themselves, the adventurer commando team led by Li Mu had just landed.
The final moment will inevitably come.
