At around 3 p.m., the weather was unusually hot and muggy, and the peacekeeping patrol team conducted routine patrols in the oil field area. The patrol consisted of two eight-wheeled infantry vehicles in peacekeeping livery and one warrior vehicle.

In addition to various oil production equipment, there are also refineries and warehouses for refined oil products, and the United Nations World Food Programme also has a warehouse in this area to store relief food. Peacekeeping in this area is therefore important and is a priority peacekeeping area for UNMIS.

The most critical is the oilfield facility, which is also the most important project of a Chinese company in South Sudan.

The warrior car walked in front, the infantry chariot followed, Gu Jiu's body was half exposed, standing behind the 12.7mm machine gun, the mode was adjusted to manual mode, the eyes behind the windproof sunglasses scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and he could receive an order to fire with the machine gun at any time.

In general, a 12.7 mm machine gun is sufficient, a 30 mm machine gun is rarely used. In fact, today is the third patrol, and Gu Jiu's squad has not fired a single bullet.

Ricardo is on the second infantry chariot, also in the position of controlling the machine gun.

They chatted in the communication channel without saying a word.

As a rotation, Gu Jiu has changed from a driver to a gunner, a 30mm cannon, except for the commander who has the right to operate, it is the gunner who operates.

On the vast yellow-toned plains, the two-headed donkey pumping machine moves up and down like a sickle and hammer, reflecting the setting sun, and the related facilities are covered with a layer of golden armor. On the side of the oil depot, several tanker trucks are waiting to load oil products and transport them along the high-grade highway built for the oil field.

More oil is transported through pipelines all the way to the port, where it is loaded onto tankers and shipped back home.

"There is a convoy carrying grain coming today, everyone should be vigilant and pay attention to the situation around them. The commander of the patrol is Li Fengxiang, he said in the communication channel.

Ricardo watched an old man come slowly from there with a donkey cart, and said, "It's strangely quiet here today, and the little market in front of me yesterday was quite lively, but now there are no people." ”

The old man and the donkey cart came from the small market in front of them, which was attached to the oil fields, and most of them were small businesses made by the villagers of the nearby villages. Everyone knows that the Chinese are the richest.

Gu Jiu asked, "What time does the WFP's grain convoy pass by here?"

"Half an hour later than planned. Li Fengxiang said, "Stop at the fork in front, and wait for the grain convoy to arrive and escort it into the warehouse." ”

At the fork in front, where the two roads meet, the convoy of food coming from the other direction is escorted by government forces and then handed over to the peacekeeping force, which is escorted by a patrol to the grain depot five kilometers away.

The convoy stopped at the fork, and when the Warrior heard the roadside, the two infantry chariots immediately put on alert, and the muzzles of the machine guns were pointed to the west where there might be a threat.

Gu Jiu pulled the bolt to load it hard, and grabbed the grip of the heavy machine gun with both hands. Ricardo looked over and said with a smile, "Old Gu, don't be nervous. ”

"Huh. ”

The soldiers of the patrol dispersed according to the training and took up their positions, and there were desperate dilapidated cars driving by, and the civilians above waved and greeted the Chinese soldiers. The soldiers just watched them and didn't dare to take them lightly.

Li Fengxiang looked at the small market about 500 meters away, there were many fewer vendors in the small market, usually this time is the time when there are the most vendors, and it will be very lively after dinner. It's a bit strange today.

"You're watching here, Ricardo, take two men and me to see the bazaar. Li Fengxiang jumped out of the car with his Type 95 automatic rifle and beckoned.

Ricardo immediately ordered two soldiers from his squad and followed Li Fengxiang towards the market.

Bian Guan Lin stayed at the fork, paying close attention to the direction of the grain convoy. He also smelled something unusual, but he couldn't tell that something was wrong.

With the help of a sergeant, Hu Fengqi flew a small reconnaissance drone, put the operation box in the trunk of the Warrior car, erected the antenna, and stood there to start his work, while the sergeant next to him was responsible for protecting him.

According to the conventional route, Hu Fengqi controls a small drone with a wingspan of 1.6 meters, first patrolling the air along the road to the west, then turning back to the south, and then turning east to patrol along the highway after reaching the second highway, forming a square patrol area.

The TV camera carried by the UAV can conduct reconnaissance and shooting of ground targets within a range of three kilometers, and the area that can be covered is relatively wide.

Watching the drone climb into the air and fly away, the soldiers couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths - now, our equipment is not bad for the Yankees, and the soldiers are of course proud.

Li Fengxiang and the others walked into the bazaar, and more than half of the vendors were missing, making the bazaar look sparse. The CD-ROM vendor was playing with his mobile phone in every possible way, and from time to time he glanced at a few Chinese GIs who came over, but he had no intention of soliciting business.

"Company commander, something isn't right. Ricardo whispered, "These vendors have strange eyes. ”

Li Fengxiang's index finger was on the trigger, and he walked slowly, his eyes behind his sunglasses vigilantly looking at several vendors, all of whom were fresh faces.

Ricardo gently opened the safety and was ready to shoot.

On that side, Hu Fengqi saw something strange. He flew over with the drone, and at the same time zoomed in on the image, and the image became clear at once.

"Sergeant Major!" Hu Fengqi called to Bian Guan Lin.

Bian Guanlin hurriedly came over, Hu Fengqi pointed to the image on the display screen, and said, "Look, what is this." ”

"The herd?"

Isn't that black herd of cattle in the west?

"How can there be a herd, look at the number, hundreds of heads. Hu Fengqi said.

Bian Guanlin pointed to the picture and said, "Can you zoom in again?"

"Yes. ”

Hu Fengqi turned the picture to the maximum, and the drone hovered over the herd, and the scene below was in full view.

Bian Guan Lin frowned and didn't observe carefully, shook his head and said, "Something is wrong." Something is wrong with these cows. ”

"Cattle are a very important resource in the local area, who can gather so many cattle, you see, the herd is coming towards us, and the route happens to be the route of the grain convoy. Hu Fengqi said.

Bian Guanlin looked at the time, "There will be ten minutes before the grain convoy arrives." ”

Suddenly, the herd, not knowing what was frightened, rushed wildly, moving faster and faster, and rushed straight towards the patrol!

"Report it now!"

Bian Guan Lin threw down his words and hurriedly organized his troops to defend himself.

Hu Fengqi hurriedly reported to Li Fengxiang, no matter why those cattle suddenly rushed over, this was a dangerous signal!

What if those herds carry bombs!

Li Fengxiang received the report and hurriedly brought people to prepare to open the market.

However, when they just walked out of the bazaar.

"Boom!"

"Boom!!"

The continuous explosions blew up the entire bazaar, and the huge shock wave pushed Li Fengxiang and the others several meters away and fell heavily to the ground!

Ricardo's head fainted, and when he got up, he saw two comrades lying on the ground, whose fate was unknown. They walk last.

From the houses behind the bazaar, dozens of people suddenly rushed out, and then bullets rained down!

"Fight back! Fight back! Lao Bian! Support me!" Li Fengxiang shook his head vigorously and gave an order decisively.

Bian Guan Lin ordered Gu Jiu's infantry chariot to come this way, and the infantry chariot quickly arrived at the bazaar, Gu Jiu covered his headset and asked loudly: "Please fire!"

"Dangdang!"

A few bullets hit the turret with a crisp sound, and Gu Jiu subconsciously shrank his neck.

Li Fengxiang shouted loudly: "Fire back!"

After getting approval, Gu Jiu suddenly opened the safe, pulled the trigger with his index finger, and the 12.7mm machine gun began to shoot with a bang, and the group of armed men who rushed towards Li Fengxiang and the others fell down one after another under the fire of the heavy machine gun, screaming again and again.

Several armed men who were hit by 12.7 mm bullets were directly smashed to pieces by large-caliber bullets. One of the armed men was shot in the waist and almost broken by a barricade. In front of the muzzles of the heavy machine guns, the limbs of the armed men flew everywhere.

Ricardo lay on the ground and fiercely returned fire, using the cover of heavy machine guns, prostrate to his comrades whose fate was unknown, and dragged them back.

On that side, the herd rushed to a distance of less than three hundred meters from the socket.

Bian Guan Lin gave a loud order: "Fire on the herd!"

The 12.7 mm heavy machine guns on the infantry began to fire first, and the soldiers opened heavy fire with Type 95 automatic rifles. There were a lot of cattle, and the cattle that were not killed were not afraid of bullets and still rushed towards them.

When it was about a hundred meters away from the fork, the first few cows suddenly exploded in succession!

"There's a bomb on the herd!"

Bian Guanlin roared loudly, jumped into the car quickly, slapped the hatch hard, and said to the commander: "Open the cannon! Shoot the machine gun! Fire high-explosive shells at the herd!"

The commander said: "Sergeant Major, the use of the cannon requires the consent of the UNSOBS Command!"

"Don't stop them outside, we'll all be blown up into the sky! Hurry up and fire!" Bian Guan Lin shouted loudly.

The commander no longer hesitated, personally operated the 30mm cannon and began to fire high-explosive shells at the herd!

"Boom!"

"Knock knock!"

High-explosive bombs continued to explode in the herd, and the horned cattle were blown to the ground, and occasionally the detonated bombs exploded, killing many cattle.

Under the suppression of the cannon, the cattle were quickly killed, and they were blocked a hundred meters away. Judging by the power of the explosion just now, it only takes one cow to rush into the convoy and destroy the entire patrol.

However, the assault was just beginning.

The convoy of grain deliveries that should have been there did not appear, and instead it was replaced by an armed convoy.

When Hu Fengqi saw an armed convoy of tanks and armored vehicles galloping along the highway from the west from the real-time images transmitted by the drone, the whole person was stunned.

The flag of the Crescent Brigade is very clear.

"Sergeant Major, the main force of the Crescent Brigade!" Hu Fengqi reported loudly.

T-72 tanks and a large number of armored vehicles appeared, what else could it be if not the main forces of the Crescent Brigade!

Bian Guan Lin ran over, and when he saw this scene on the display screen, he couldn't help but gasp, "Send the image back immediately, report to the top and ask for support! There is at least one regiment of troops here!"

It became clear that the Crescent Brigade was launching an attack on the oil field, which meant that it was highly likely that the West Bucks had fallen.

"Shrink the line!"

Li Fengxiang decisively withdrew from the bazaar, gathered the two infantry chariots together, and relied on the terrain of the fork to re-establish the defensive line.

The patrol is under attack, and the Crescent Brigade is attacking the oil field area!

The request for support quickly reached the UNMIS headquarters, and the Chinese peacekeepers also had their own internal communication mechanism, and the news was received at the same time at the station, but it could only be dispatched after receiving orders from the UNMISS headquarters.

Li Mu couldn't sit still in the ward at all, he quickly changed into a camouflage uniform and gave the order to assemble urgently.

The entire battalion was assembled and assembled in just two minutes.

Before jumping into the chariot, Li Mu pointed at Wang Ming and said solemnly: "Immediately ask the United Nations Soviet Union to send Pakistani armored battalions! Hurry to the oil fields! Contact the government troops! Let them send all the troops they can send to the oil fields!"

With that, he got into the chariot and gave the order to go.

Wang Ming would not be so confused that he couldn't tell the severity, he didn't care about Li Mu's attitude, and hurriedly went to contact the headquarters of the United Nations Soviet Union. If you can't rescue the patrol of this platoon, no one will be able to escape the involvement.

The headquarters of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) urgently mobilized and, at the strong request of Senior Colonel Guo, mobilized all its forces to rush to the aid of the oil fields.

As the only heavily armored force of the peacekeeping force, the armored battalion of Pakistan learned that the Chinese peacekeeping patrol had been attacked and that the main force of the Crescent Brigade was attacking the oil field.

The main force of the Crescent Brigade spread out in attack formation from a kilometer away, and their artillery units began to set up firing positions, and after five minutes, mortar shells began to fall on the fork, and the scattered shrapnel posed a great threat to the soldiers.

More shells fell into the oil field, and many facilities were shelled.

The tank units of the Crescent Brigade opened the skirmish line and began to storm the fork side. Before the arrival of Pakistan's armored battalions, the peacekeepers did not have any anti-armor capabilities.

On the way, Li Mu saw the real-time picture transmitted by the drone, and he gave Li Fengxiang an order to retreat. Li Fengxiang's mind was not hot, and he immediately organized the troops to suppress the enemy with the most fierce firepower, and then abandoned the damaged warrior vehicle, and all the personnel and wounded concentrated on the infantry chariot and retreated in the direction of the reinforcements as quickly as possible.

However, a unit that suddenly came out from the flank cut off the retreat of the patrol. Several pickup trucks were driven onto the road, forming a roadblock.

By this time, it was clear to everyone that this raid of the Crescent Brigade had been planned for a long time and was well prepared.

Li Fengxiang could only let the two infantry chariots rely on a few buildings on the side of the road, re-establish the defensive line, and hold on until the arrival of reinforcements.

Two helicopter gunships of the Government forces flew in from the direction of Juba city and fired their cannons at armoured targets on the ground. Li Fengxiang, who was so pressed that he couldn't raise his head, was relieved to see the gunship appear.

Suddenly, the two Stinger anti-aircraft missiles that flew into the air from the direction of the artillery position of the Crescent Brigade went straight to the two gunships, and simply shot down the gunships that were caught off guard.

Li Fengxiang was stunned - the Crescent Brigade actually had anti-aircraft missiles!
