Although the situation was critical, the reconnaissance team could not calmly report military information one by one. The black soldiers who came back from the second letter of sending the letter were crying and said that many people died. A soldier from the reconnaissance team detonated a bag to cover their departure, and they couldn't explain anything clearly.

The documents were destroyed because the team that delivered the documents felt that they might not be able to guarantee the security of the documents and might be captured. In order to prevent this from happening, the documents fell into the hands of the enemy, so the documents were destroyed in advance. Except for the documents that were written as special-digit orders, all other documents were destroyed.

But this is enough. This sentence in the military newspaper is enough to explain the situation.

In the afternoon, Liu Tie got a company sent by Ding Yi. The reconnaissance company of the guard regiment headquarters was the elite. This company was added to Liu Tie's rescue team, and they brought Ding Yi's words: "Catch them out, live and see people, die and see corpses."

So they got a reinforced rescue team from the reconnaissance company of the Guard Regiment Company, and began to follow the map drawn by the two black soldiers who sent a letter. They headed along the Nile River toward the direction of Keena in the rainforest on the edge of the desert. They did not ride the divine Arab thoroughbred horses, nor did they have a single one. The baggage platoon of each company brought Mongolian horses with the fleet from China. Only Mongolian horses could support such a march.

On the second day of departure, Liu Tie met the Third Messenger. It seemed that the reconnaissance team of the Rongyi Division seemed to have been buffered. At least they had time to write a detailed battle report, and even the terrain they were in and the route they were in, and drew a simple contour line and scale diagram. Of course, it was not too accurate. Although it was not too difficult for veterans of the Rongyi Division's reconnaissance professional, there was also a time period for them to rest before they could do it.

The battle report is written in Arabic numerals:

"...The statistics of ammunition in our department: rifle bullets. Each person has more than one base; pistol bullets have two bases; grenades have two bases; grenades have two bases; grenades have one base; 1.8-inch mortars, all ammunition has not yet been used. Statistics of casualties: Black soldiers, three people committed suicide, two people died of a rainforest native blowing arrow, and five people were killed by Mamuliuk; after the two were captured, our department was killed from a distance and confirmed to die; eleven seriously injured people are likely to not survive tomorrow morning, and five people collapsed and fled and were shot dead." The following are also listed the troops and positions of the black soldiers, and their names.

Then there were casualties in the reconnaissance team headquarters. "The deputy squad leader of the communication squad, Lu Shitou, the Cangwu clan of Wuzhou, detonated Bao and died in the line of duty. He died with the 27th horse-maruk soldiers; the deputy squad leader of the pistol squad, Qinggeertai, the Duyin tribe tribe in the grassland outside the pass. He led about a hundred enemy cavalry away and died in the line of duty. Next to the body of the martyr, two parts of the disassembled revolver were found. The firing needle was broken; the squad leader of the reconnaissance squad, Chen Hanzhang, the Xiguan clan of Guangzhou Prefecture..."

There were no seriously injured soldiers. All seven soldiers listed in the reconnaissance team died heroically, none seriously injured, none disappeared, and none were captured. This shows that the reconnaissance team never gave up their robes. After the martyrs died, they sent people to confirm that they were not fleeing like a dog. They were fighting, despite the huge gap between the enemy and us, and despite the lack of any reinforcements, they were still fighting.

Even, they did not use mortars.

Although mortars are more effective in killing enemies than grenade launchers and grenades, the explosion caused by the larger charge than the latter two will undoubtedly attract the attention of many enemies. Therefore, they are avoiding attracting the attention of the enemy. They have not given up hope and their desire for victory!

"Go to Suez and hand the letter to the sir." Liu Tie was silent for a moment, and hurriedly wrote a letter that was also recorded in Arabic code, and handed it to the three black soldiers who delivered the letter, "You move faster."

When Ding Yi received the letter, he sighed, because the password in the letter translated into one sentence: "Our general immediately launched a rescue operation to ensure that the task is completed."

The letter is followed by Cao Jixiang’s attached office. Why did Liu Tie write such a letter?

Liu Ji, who took the letter to archive it, didn't understand, but Ding Yi understood it very well.

Liu Tie's meaning was to ask Ding Yi to stop sending troops to reinforce him.

Why? Because he wanted to change his route to march and no longer planned to go all the way along the Nile River as he was originally planned, and then he hoped that the reconnaissance team of Rongyi Division would meet at a certain agreed point. In that case, if Ding Yi sent troops to him again, he would probably lose contact.

Liu Tie did this because he had read from the war report that the reconnaissance team of the Rongyi Division was in danger.

Although only seven people were sacrificed, the number of people who died in single digits accounted for nearly one-quarter of the number of people in the reconnaissance team, which is more than 20% of the death rate. This is not the casualty rate, but the death rate. In ancient and modern times, it is no reproach to collapse if a unit reaches 30% of the casualty. Of course, there are some particularly elite troops that can fight one soldier and one soldier, but that is just an exception. It is impossible to use such a war to demand soldiers. Normally, it is worthy of the title of elite troops to collapse if it reaches 30% of the casualty.

With a death rate of more than 20%, the reconnaissance team has actually reached its limit.

Why do we keep sending black soldiers to deliver letters? At this time, isn’t there one more person and more power?

You can tell by reading the battle report that there were only seven black soldiers who died from the opponent's attack, including the natives of the Rain Forest.

But there were three people who committed suicide, two were captured, and five people collapsed and fled. The black soldiers had poor psychological endurance and they could not adapt to this high-intensity battle. What’s important is that they did not believe that they would win the final victory, nor did they have the belief to exalt the Chinese army over the four barbarians!

So the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance team simply sent them out to deliver letters, at least to run back to Suez, and they could still recognize the way. They were unwilling to receive from Xu Bin every month as the fine salt of military salaries, which was a huge fortune for their tribe.

It has reached this point, and Liu Tie feels it is impossible to march, camp and search again.

He was going to attack, and he was going to follow the schematic diagram of the reconnaissance team and penetrated straight into the rain forest!

Three days later, at noon, the three cavalry correspondents rushed from Cairo. As soon as they arrived outside the camp outside Suez City, they pulled off the sweat scarf wrapped around their heads and faces, and after verifying their identity certificates, they rode their horses into the camp with the privilege of the battlefield correspondents and shouted loudly: "Great victory! Great victory in Cairo!"

Li Bing, who was in charge of the police corps, listened to the sound of victory, and couldn't help but shake his head and chant: "Gaochang's troops are like frost and snow, the Han soldiers are like the sun and moon, the sun and moon shine on the frost and snow, and he will be eliminated by himself!" This is the sentence in "Old Book of Tang. Biography of Xirong". It was the time when Emperor Taizong of Tang was in power, the Tang Dynasty was in full swing, and the Khan of the Yishan Mountains was Hutian, and the Tang army rushed to pacify Gaochang and set up the Anxi Protectorate!

The officers and soldiers of the Rong 2 Brigade in the camp were a little annoyed: "But they lost an opportunity to earn military merits!" But they also cheered for themselves in the robes of the First Brigade, "My Ming army is mighty!", "My Ming army is mighty!"

But Ding Yi's smile was a bit far-fetched. Although he taught Liu Ji to draft orders, praised Zhao Fu and Wan An, he went to the camp of the Rong Second Brigade, the Land Brigade, and the Police Corps. The fat man from Jiaowen read out the good news loudly: "Our army has gone to the ancient city of Cairo, and captured the Caliph Mustangied! Mamuliuk Sultan fled as a city!" Then Ding Yi gave a speech to boost morale.

But when he returned to the command center, his brows were still furious.

Even when Morena came over to talk to him, Ding Yi also smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm not happy, can I teach me to be quiet?"

Whether it is Fatty Wen, Morena, or Liu Ji, they naturally don’t dare to disturb Ding Yi.

However, after Xu Bin heard this, the old man was furious and rushed into the command center to shout at Ding Yi: "Like Jin, you are the soul of thousands of tigers, the strong minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the lord of the seven seas. How could you be so depressed because of the thirty soldiers! Where did you place the generals and soldiers? Where did you place the Ming Dynasty?"

Ding Yi raised his head hard and said to Xu Bin: "Mr. Yanghao, I know I shouldn't do this, but I feel uncomfortable."

Ding Yi, who has always been known for his iron blood, is known for his good at killing and is best at killing in his life, saw it clearly, and two lines of tears came from the corners of his eyes.

Because of a military newspaper, the last black soldiers sent by the reconnaissance team of the Rong-1 Division was dispatched.

They did not meet Liu Tie's rescue team. They had five of them, all the living black soldiers on the reconnaissance team.

"They fired the cannon, the biggest cannon, which led to the encirclement of Mamulik. Otherwise, there would be so many Mamuliks that they would not be able to escape!" The black soldiers who sent the letter were obviously much better than before, and their psychological qualities were much better. Perhaps this was the reason why the reconnaissance team kept them by their side, and they could probably assist in the battle.

The black soldier knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "We said, let's die together. The sergeant said we would not shoot guns and don't drag them down. But we knew that there were no bullets, and the guns were broken and thrown into the Nile River! The sergeant said that we cannot die together and we must report the army!"

This military newspaper is written in plain text. Because the communication squad has been killed, the original lieutenant captain of the reconnaissance squad was also killed, so the deputy squad leader of the pistol squad commander of the reconnaissance squad was unable to write the military newspaper with password. These news were inferred from the narratives of these five black soldiers. The handwriting on the military newspaper is very sloppy and short: "The document 1021 of the Special No. 1021 has been destroyed. Please do not send support. Our troops have all died for the country. The Ming Dynasty is mighty!" (A good activity of a pie falling from the sky, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you to get it!
