Chapter 118 I will die in front of you
Eritrea has been the territory of Egypt since the formation of a state of Egypt. In 1557, the Ottoman Empire invaded this area. In 1890, Italy once again occupied this area and officially named it "Eritrea", which is still in use today.
Eritrea is the coast of the Red Sea of Egypt, with a total area of more than 120,000 square kilometers. If this area is lost, Egypt will become an inland country. Therefore, the Eritrea region is of great significance to the entire Egyptian country. The great efforts of Egypt in the Beining government
After recapturing this area with assistance, the Egyptian people have always been very friendly to China, and of course they have a different view of Kang Fan.
During those years of diplomatic work in Africa, Judy established good relations with leaders of several African countries, especially with the Egyptian Emperor Manalik, which can be assured to entrust her to those
You can see that the priceless diamonds are transferred to Kang Fan. Judy also tried her best to help these backward African countries. Under her lobbying, the US government has given the above-mentioned African countries a lot in terms of education, medical care, etc.
Aid also made Judy the most popular person among the African people and had a high prestige in Egypt.
Therefore, with the prestige and influence of Kangfan and Judy in Egypt, the two of them took action again this time. Queen Zoditu, Regent Makonan and other military and political officials from Egypt all gave them very good results.
Cooperation prompted the current situation in Egypt to stabilize quickly.
But there is also a pro-European force in Egypt supported by the French and Italians, but Kang Fan ignored it, and ignoring the opponent will definitely have to pay a price!
Queen Zoditu's palace is located in the capital of Addis Ababa, the capital of Egypt. The city of Addis Ababa is located in the center of the territory of Egypt, and is located far away from the Massawa base on the Red Coast of Eritrea in Egypt.
It is 1,000 kilometers away. But there is an airport built by the Chinese government in the suburbs of Addis Ababa. It is very convenient to take the plane to the city from the Massawa base. When we went there, Kang Fan and his party took the "
Eagle-B" military transport aircraft may suddenly change when preparing to return, and there are thunder, lightning, storms and storms for several consecutive days. Under such climatic conditions, it is definitely safer to take the land route.
Since there is no railway between Addis Ababa and Masawa base, there is only a hard-grain road called "national highway" by the locals. Therefore, after receiving the order from Director Li Jinqing, 60 people landed in the air
The officers and soldiers of the army boarded the "Iron Horse-C" wheeled armored personnel carrier via this "national highway" from the Masawa base to Addis Ababa. After picking up Kang Fan and Mei Xiang, they set off on their way home without stopping.
"Iron Horse-C" is the most comprehensive type in the "Iron Horse" series. It has now become the main combat equipment of the light mechanized troops of the National Defense Forces garrison at the Masawa Base. This time, these five "Iron Horse-C" are General Zhou Dingkun.
The crew members were specially allocated to Director Li for use. The 60 airborne officers and soldiers who were on guard duty were just passengers, just like Kang Fan and others.
Most of the way back to Masawa base from Addis Ababa is sparsely-tree savanna or more desolate semi-desert terrain. The impact of heavy rain is for the "Iron Horse-C" with super-strong off-road capabilities.
It can be almost ignored. If it weren't for the defense of the Masawa base, Kang Fan would never have rushed back in such a rare harsh climate in this area. It was late August and he was in Egypt.
In China's rainy season, it's hard to say when this heavy rain will stop.
But just because of his "uneasiness", he provided opportunities for pro-European forces in Egypt who hated China.
Kang Fan and Judy were riding in the same "Iron Horse-C" and were sandwiched between the convoy. When they were attacked, the convoy was in the middle of Addis Ababa and Massawa, because of "Iron Horse-C"
"The communication distance of the on-board radio station is only more than 20 kilometers. This time the fleet does not have a dedicated high-power "Iron Horse" communication command vehicle that can conduct long-distance communication, so it is impossible to contact the Masawa base at all, and it is truly isolated and helpless!
It is also unfavorably located in a narrow and jungle plateau rift, not only facing attacks from attackers, but also at risk of being washed away by floods at any time!
It's just that the attackers used messy models of manual single-shot cascade rifles and a small number of grenades. Although they were all cavalrymen, the number of people must have exceeded 300, but they were unable to pose a serious threat to Kang Fan and his party for the time being.
A group of abandoned cars and hiking escapes on foot offer opportunities.
At the top of the rift, the attackers used explosives to collapse the rift walls, and a large amount of earth and rock blocked the front and rear passages of the convoy. Then they shot randomly from all directions from high to all directions, without using the number of people and terrain advantages to attack the convoy.
At first glance, it was a group of mobs. The long-range rifle shooting they implemented was simply a scratching point for the "Iron Horse-C" with good protection performance. Only grenades and explosive packs can pose a certain threat to Kang Fan and his party. Therefore, here
During the sudden attack, only three officers and soldiers in Kang Fan and his party were slightly injured, and the rest were not damaged at all.
Five Type 07 machine gun guns operated by five machine gun shooters in the roof armored gun tower opened fiercely at the maximum elevation angle, quickly suppressing the firepower of the attackers. The dense rain of bullets from bottom to top will crack
The two sides of the valley were filled with smoke and dust, and soil and rocks splashed. From time to time, attackers and horses who were hit screamed and fell from the high valley wall to the bottom of the valley, turning into a ball of meat sauce.
The rift where the convoy is now located is the most dangerous place in the entire rift. It is less than ten meters wide. The valley walls made of blue-black basalt on both sides are straight up like a knife, cutting axe, and are as high as more than 50 meters.
"Iron Horse-C" The fierce machine gun firepower hit the attackers who could not show their heads changed their strategy a few minutes later. They hid at the top of the rift, and some people used explosives to blow down the valley walls one by one, intending to bury them with soil and stones.
The convoy; the other part tied up multiple grenades or multiple explosive packs together, ignited them and threw them down. The power of the explosion increased greatly, and two "Iron Horses-C" were blown up one after another! Lian Kangfan and Judy
The "Iron Horse-C" that the person was riding was also bombed. Flames and thick smoke had already rushed into the carriage, and the situation was extremely critical!
Director Li braved the flying earth and stone and drilled into Kang Fan's car, threw it to Kang Fan's Type 12 automatic rifle and a set of combat equipment used by an airborne soldier. He looked at Kang Fan and smiled bitterly and said, "Principal,
Get ready and we evacuate!"
Kang Fan took it, quickly put it on, turned to look at Judy, and smiled, "Would you like to die with me?"
Judy frowned and said, "You can't say something nice?!"
Kang Fan touched Judy's head and stopped smiling, "Put on the raincoat and follow me."
Because Judy had been with Kang Fan, she was not very scared. She obediently put on a military raincoat and watched Kang Fan quickly stuff field food and bottled water into her combat backpack.
"Madam, change your high heels!" The captain of the car took off his military boots and handed them to Judy. "If you put some tissues in the military boots, the military boots will be smaller."
Judy shook her head as she looked at the captain's feet, which were only socks left, and said in a not-so-fluent Chinese: "Cartain, you wear it, we'll have a long way to go next!"
The young car captain smiled bitterly, "Madam, I won't leave."
Judy was stunned, her face turned pale, and she turned to look at Kang Fan, "Kang Fan..."
"Chief, let's go together!" Kang Fan ordered sternly.
The commander shook his head, "General, you know more about the danger situation in front of you than me. As long as we leave the 'iron horse', we will lose protection. At that time, the condescending enemy will cause serious damage to us! And we do not
If you leave the "Iron Horse", you will be buried alive or killed sooner or later. Therefore, we can only suppress them with firepower, so that they will not be exposed, and buy time for you, General, or more people to evacuate."
"What nonsense is it! Judy can't walk anymore, we can carry her! Besides, the rift is full of jungle and boulders, and some are covered places, why can't we go?!" Kang Fan became angry and snatched the military boots.
You have to put the car captain's feet.
The captain pushed Kang Fan away in a blast, quickly pulled out the pistol from his waist and pressed it on his temple. At the same time, two hot tears gushed out from his wide-open eyes.
"General, if you don't listen to me, I will die in front of you!" The captain shouted at Kang Fan with a thick neck, and his fingers tightly held the trigger.
Kang Fan was stunned, Judy was stunned, Director Li was stunned...
"General, I beg you, you go..." The captain suddenly cried loudly like a child!
In the end, the three still intact "Iron Horse-C" commanders were all stayed to cover the others to evacuate the dangerous areas. And their fate was already destined - either buried alive or bombed to death!
The bodies of the attackers who fell to the bottom of the valley were black and white. The blacks must be Egyptian nationals, and those whites should be French or Italians, because both France and Italy wanted to annex Egyptian, and they all had them in Egyptian countries.
The pro-Father or personal forces I have supported also hate Kang Fan the most.
"These bitches are raised!" Kang Fan's eyes were shining with tears and his face turned ashen.
The rift is very long, stretching in the north and south direction, and is becoming more and more open. The hard-soil road at the bottom of the valley has been flooded by heavy rain and surging floods. Kang Fan and his party can only walk through the dense forests on both sides of the road. The grief of losing their comrades is filled with
Everyone's heart was like Kang Fan, with tears and a blue face. Behind him, there were dense gunshots and explosions and the collapse of soil and rocks...
Three hours later, the heavy rain stopped and it became dark. A soldier found a huge and dry rock sag on the waist of the valley wall. So, under the command of Director Li, everyone entered the sag.
Rest and rest.
The sag is actually a collapsed valley wall. The collapsed earth and rocks form a slope below the valley wall, and you can climb into the sag along the slope. The uncollapsed valley wall above the sag extends out hideously, blocking the
The heavy rain falling from the sky made the rain form a wide water curtain in front of this sunken.
The continuous speed has made Judy almost exhausted. With the help of Kang Fan, Director Li and the officers and soldiers, he finally climbed into the sunken and lay down on the cold ground and refused to get up again. Kang Fan left
He went over and helped her up and let her rest in his arms, while he sat on the ground with his back against the hard rock wall. Judy had no strength to speak, and lay on Kang Fan's chest and fell asleep for a while.
Director Li brought two sleeping bags from the officers and soldiers, one for Judy to sleep with, and the other spread on the ground, allowing Kang Fan to sit.
This is a standard sleeping bag for airborne soldiers. The jacket is made of sturdy windproof and waterproof chemical fiber material, and is covered with a light and warm down insulation lid. A soft rubber inflatable cushion is attached to the bottom layer, which is easy to fold, making it very suitable for officers and soldiers.
Carrying with you is an indispensable individual field equipment.
The rain started falling again, and it was even heavier than before. With the help of the lightning, Kang Fan saw that the turbid rain had flooded the valley bottom, carrying rotten wood, grass clippings, leaves, etc. The sag was discovered very timely, so that
Everyone escaped the danger of being washed away by the flood and got a good rest, but there was no way out.
"It seems we have to stay here for more time." Director Li leaned over and said.
Kang Fan nodded and said, "I ordered the officers and soldiers to build fortifications on the spot, so that they can defend against possible enemy attacks, and secondly, they can also give everyone a better place to settle down. Now is the rainy season in Egypt, and the rain will come.
Next is endless. Before the rain stops, we can only wait here."
Director Li agreed to go, and then he and the officers and soldiers used soil and rocks to build a semicircular wall along the side facing the valley in the rain, and built a ceiling with cut trees, with decorative decorations on the ceiling.
The branches full of leaves spread out the raincoats of the officers and soldiers and spread them all on these branches. In this way, Kang Fan and his party had a temporary camp that could shelter from wind and rain, and the raincoats were all gray-green and hidden.
very good.
Kang Fan took this opportunity to help Judy take off her shoes, socks and coat so that she could sleep more comfortably. Only then did she find that Judy was on menstruation, so it was no wonder that she was "not good" like this.
"Judy..." Kang Fan felt distressed.
Judy agreed in a daze, opened her eyes and saw Kang Fan right in front of her, and fell asleep again with peace of mind.
The figures of the three "Iron Horse-C" chariot commanders who sacrificed themselves to cover up everyone repeatedly flashed in front of Kang Fan's eyes, and anger and regret kept tearing his heart. In this state, one would subvert the current world of the present.
