Long Zhan led a group of mercenaries to secretly clean up the entire battlefield in the first half of the night and obtained enough ammunition to last for two days of fighting.
The mercenaries did not fire a single shot during the entire process, and did not notice any small movements on the battlefield.
certainly.
Did the mercenary army still surround him at night, and spent the night sleeping in the open?
Or perhaps only a small number of personnel were left on guard to prevent Long Zhan and his party from escaping at night, and all other personnel retreated to the camp to rest.
Long Zhan didn't send his men out specifically to investigate, so he didn't know the specific situation.
There is no special need now, and there is no need to take risks to explore.
The first half of the night was calm and no fighting broke out. The second half of the night was a little more lively than the first half of the night, but overall there was nothing serious.
The excitement mainly comes from the outskirts of the mining base, and the occasional gunshots and wild beast calls in the area where the mercenaries are located.
You can roughly guess it without looking.
There is a high probability that a wild beast wanted to enter the place in the dark and have a big meal like last night, but ended up colliding with the mercenaries guarding outside.
From this situation, Long Zhan could guess that not all the mercenary army was surrounding them.
Otherwise, more than 3,000 people would surround the entire base. With such a high popularity and a large number of bonfires, no matter how ferocious the beasts were, they would not dare to approach rashly.
Only there were not many mercenaries left, and there was a large gap in the middle of the encirclement, allowing the beasts wandering around the periphery to find an opportunity to take the risk and get close to the battlefield.
The sunrise time in Jinguo is very early. At 5 o'clock in the morning, there is orange light before sunrise in the east.
When the time came at 5:30 in the morning, the sun had already completely jumped above the horizon, and the warm orange sunlight was shining sideways on the mine.
The contractors who had taken a break early in their shifts slowly woke up under the sunshine.
It was very peaceful last night and everyone slept soundly.
But when this new day comes, all the team members know very well that the battle waiting for them today will only be more intense than yesterday.
In fact, it is indeed several times more intense.
In this early morning, when the dew had not yet disappeared, mercenaries began to vaguely appear in the distance about 200 meters away from the base.
This morning, bathed in sunshine, was filled with a murderous chill.
The mercenaries just surrounded and did not take any action.
Although Long Zhan and the contractors couldn't understand it, they didn't pay too much attention. They just maintained the most basic vigilance and were ready to fight at any time.
From a defensive perspective.
The battle itself is also to delay time. If there is no need to fight, it can also delay time. Naturally, Long Zhan likes it more.
It would be best if we could continue to confront each other like this, as long as the time goes on.
From 5:30 to 6:30, from 6:30 to 7:30, and then to 8:30...
Time keeps passing and nothing changes on the battlefield.
The contractors, who had been concentrating on guarding the whole morning, waited all morning for the mercenaries to attack, but they could not wait for the attack. They saw the mercenaries watching outside all the time, and they couldn't help but have doubts.
"Are they having a day off today? A day of truce?"
The contractor team members all have this idea, and Long Zhan, as the commander, also has the same idea.
certainly.
This is purely out of curiosity and does not represent any emotion.
After all, mercenaries no longer launch attacks, and the biggest gains are made by the contractors.
In this peaceful confrontation between the two sides, time passed by unknowingly, and soon it was past 11 noon.
At this time, the sun has climbed into the sky, and the hot sunlight shines on the body, which is extremely hot.
Even if the contractor team members were cooped up in the trench, their faces were all flushed by the sun, and their sweat was dripping down as if they were free of money.
The mercenaries surrounding the outside stood on the ground, letting the sun scorch them to make them even more uncomfortable.
Fortunately, most of the mercenaries in the siege were local African mercenary teams, and most of the members came from various African countries.
Considering their dark complexions, the sun is nothing here.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk-tuk..."
They stared at each other for a few hours, when suddenly a familiar sound shook the sky.
The sound of the plane was similar to yesterday. Both the contractor and the mercenary looked over and found a "big iron bird" flying at high speed from the west.
"Another plane is coming? What's going on? Is it General Soroon's second batch of supplies?"
Long Zhan stared at the mysterious plane that was flying over the base at a very fast speed, completely confused as to its origin.
As the boss, Long Zhan was completely confused, let alone the contractors below.
This scene at this time.
The reaction of the mercenaries on the other side was the same as the reaction of the contractors when the transport plane arrived yesterday.
Yesterday it was the contractors who provided air support, and today it was their turn to provide mercenary support.
Seeing the planes flying closer and closer, the French cannons and the mercenary leaders under their banners, the excitement in their eyes became more and more intense.
Five kilometers...
Four kilometers...
Three kilometers...
The plane is getting closer and closer to the base, but its flight speed has not slowed down. It is definitely impossible to airdrop supplies at this speed.
In addition, the plane is getting closer and closer, and its characteristics are becoming more and more obvious.
The most important thing is that after entering 3 kilometers, the plane began to lose altitude at an extremely fast speed and made a very unusual roaring and screaming sound in the air.
Modern people may not have heard this sound before, even on the battlefield in the Middle East.
Because I am too old!
However, during World War II, this sound was called the "Howling Death" on the battlefield, and it had a terrifying fear of death.
It is Germany's "ju-87" - the exclusive dive sound of Stuka bombers.
This bomber was born during World War II. Now, any fighter or bomber in the world can easily kill it instantly.
But in the barren land of Africa, it is still shining.
Long Zhan had spent so many years in Africa in his previous life and was very familiar with this World War II bomber. He reacted the moment he heard the sound.
"Tmd, we actually got a bomber, and it's a World War II cargo that can fight."
No matter how old a bomber is, it is still a bomber. To a pure infantryman, it is still a nightmare-like existence. Long Zhan couldn't help but feel his scalp numb when he heard the roar.
Subconsciously, he shouted a warning: "Bomber, this is an enemy bomber. It is hidden. Find a place to hide quickly and avoid its bombing line."
In this unusually quiet environment, Long Zhan's roar could be heard far away.
