Chapter 543: Crossfire

Li Mu was not unaware of the high risks involved, and that both government forces and the Houthis would open fire on Pajero without prior notice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

But there is no better way at this time, only a race against time, a race to the death!

The point is that Li Mu is very sure that the government army and the Houthis are fighting fiercely, and the urban combat is not like a field war, it can be said that there are places everywhere that can be hidden, and besides, there are still a large number of civilians hiding at home in the crossfire area and have no time to escape, these are powerful covers. Driving quickly through the line of fire may seem dangerous, but in fact, as long as you can rush through it before both sides react, it is not much of a problem.

Moreover, the exchange of fire between the Houthis and government forces was largely light weapons, with some mortars and rockets, and many more weapons were missing. Even Li Mu knew that the only tank and armored vehicles of the Houthis were probably reluctant to use them at this time, and they were all old-fashioned Soviet-style combat vehicles, so it would be difficult to drive.

But one way or another, not to mention armored vehicles, even large-caliber machine guns can pose a threat to Pajero. Li Mu had to drive the vehicle carefully and quickly.

He had to admire Laura, as a war correspondent who had been here for half a year, she was indeed very familiar with the roads here, and almost all of them were navigating Li Mu. Hai Lanqing looked at the route with the navigation map on the tablet, and found that the direction of the road pointed by Laura was not wrong, and it was indeed going to the location of China State Construction Company. It's just that the process is tortuous, and it's obviously what Laura calls a safe route.

The fighting between the two sides is so chaotic that neither side can figure it out, the Houthis are not well-organized armies, and the government forces are not well-trained. One side launched a surprise attack, the other side hastily met the battle, and the troops scattered and fired at each other, and I am afraid that the commanders of both sides could not figure out exactly where and to what extent.

Li Mu made such a decision by grasping this weakness.

I don't know what Du Xiaofan thinks, but Hai Lanqing knows that the experience of these few hours must be the most dangerous he has experienced in his life, similar to dancing in the ghost gate, and the slightest wrong step will be doomed.

Li Mu calmly and calmly steered Pajero to sweep in front of the government army's position, quickly disappearing, and the next minute it might be across the middle of the street where the two sides were firing at each other, so that both sides were frightened and forgot to fire.

Seeing that the distance was rapidly shortening, Hai Lanqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, not a single bullet patronized their car.

Turning into a narrow alley, Laura said, "From here you are Chengbei Street, and the China State Construction Company you are talking about is a few hundred meters diagonally across the street. ”

"In other words, this is the territory of the Houthis?" Du Xiaofan asked with a frown.

"Yes. Laura nodded affirmatively.

Li Mu said in a deep voice, "Maybe the Houthis will be friendlier to us than the government army." ”

"Why?" Du Xiaofan asked puzzled.

"The Houthis are Shia. Li Mu said.

When Hai Lanqing heard this, he shook his head and smiled, naturally laughing at Li Mu's superficiality, but Li Mu's judgment was not unreasonable. It is rumored that the Houthis have the support of Iran, so to speak, Iran is friendly to the Chinese, and naturally the Houthis will not embarrass the Chinese.

It's just that thinking this way is really superficial and one-sided.

However, just when Li Mu wanted to speed up and finish the alley, suddenly, a group of military vehicles rushed out of the intersection in front of him, and soon dozens of government soldiers came down from the military vehicles.

Suddenly, a faint light from the muzzle of a gun shot appeared in the building in front of it. The sky was a little gray at this time, and the light was not very good, but you could distinguish the fire when the guns were fired.

Seeing several armed men emerging from the buildings in front of him and shooting at the government troops, Li Mu knew that they were Houthi fighters, and the government army team had obviously come to fight back.

"Get out of the car!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Mu stopped the vehicle, pushed the door and got out of the car, opened the door of the back seat and grabbed Hai Lanqing in the car and dragged him to the building next to him, Du Xiaofan also got out of the car from the other side, dragged Laura into the building.

One more minute in the car will be a target!

Just as Li Mu and the others rushed into the building, two rockets hit Pajero one after the other, and the "boom" blew Pajero into wreckage, and the wreckage immediately burned. As long as they were ten seconds slower, Li Mu and the others would be blown up alive in the car.

Du Xiaofan didn't forget to look back, ", what a car!"

Li Mu took Hai Lanqing in his arms to protect her, and said busily, "I guess we are the commanders of the government army." ”

The two of them rushed into the building one by one escorting the two women, and when they went in, they found that this was someone else's home. Li Mu didn't have time to think about it, and ordered, "Hurry up and get out of here, they will come here soon!"

"Can I do it myself?" Li Mu let go of Hai Lanqing, but he didn't notice Hai Lanqing's red face.

"Well, I can. Hai Lanqing didn't have time to think about it, nodded and said. Being held in Li Mu's arms just now did make her feel a little strange, after all, she had never been treated like this by a man, but unfortunately Li Mu didn't mean anything like that.

Over there, Laura said, too, "I'll shoot too!"

Li Mu frowned, but still shook his head and said, "We are not a participating party, so there is no need to shoot." ”

After speaking, he stared at Hai Lanqing and said without refusal, "From now on, grab my belt and follow me, you can't let go, understand?"

"Yes, understood!" Hai Lanqing nodded subconsciously and tightened the computer bag behind him

"Lao Du, look at her, let's go!"

Li Mu was in front, Hai Lanqing grabbed his belt tightly and followed with his waist, Du Xiaofan asked Laura to follow Hai Lanqing, and he was at the back of the last hall.

This kind of folio building is not uncommon, and both doors face the street, so after exiting the other door, there is another alley.

After going out, Li Mu hadn't taken a few steps before he suddenly stopped, and then raised his head to look at the sky.

"Air strike!"

The sound of the sky rumbling in the distance already said it all.

Li Mu didn't have time to think about it, he turned around and pushed Hai Lanqing to urge them and shouted, "Go back to where you were just now, go to the basement!"

The four of them rushed into the building, found the entrance to the basement, and ran in without hesitation.

The air raids came very quickly, ground missiles and aerial bombs fell one after another, and the north of the city was once again covered with gunsmoke, and the second round of air strikes by Saudi Arabia came......
