The base camp of the "National United Front" is located deep in the Sahara Desert. Before they grew in strength, they relied on their base camp deep in the desert to resist many sieges by government troops. Currently, they have two companies of troops.
Stationed in the base camp under the leadership of Battalion Commander Mota.
Li Dongsheng kept hearing explosions and gunshots coming from behind. He nervously scanned the reflectors while driving.
In the vast desert, off-road vehicles are much faster than armored personnel carriers. Soon, the off-road vehicles driven by Wan Lin and others caught up with Li Dongsheng and his convoy.
Wan Lin briefly reported the battle just now. Li Dongsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that two enemy light tanks were destroyed. The tanks' super firepower really worried him.
After listening to Wan Lin's battle report, Li Dongsheng turned to Lingling beside him and said, "Always pay attention to the enemy's communications." Lingling sat in the passenger seat and kept looking down at the screen of the information box on her lap, and casually agreed "yes."
"Hey, that's not right. There was a communication link from behind to a place about 300 kilometers ahead. Now the signal from behind is still there, why did the signal from the front suddenly disappear?" Lingling said to herself.
Li Dongsheng answered while driving, "Did the front line suddenly implement radio silence after receiving the information notification?"
Lingling observed the screen carefully and nodded, "It must be! It means there are still enemies deep in the desert."
Li Dongsheng quickly ordered into the microphone, "Everyone pay attention, and be ready for battle at any time! There may be enemies blocking the front. Wan Lin, your vehicle will advance 50 kilometers ahead for reconnaissance."
Zhang Wa, who was driving, received the order and quickly turned the wheel from behind Li Dongsheng's vehicle, passed Li Dongsheng's off-road vehicle and the armored personnel carrier in front of Li Dongsheng, increased the accelerator and drove forward.
It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. The temperature in the desert had risen to 40 or 50 degrees. The commandos and delegation members kept wiping the sweat on their faces with their sleeves in the car. Several cars
There are on-board air conditioners inside. However, in order to save fuel, Li Dongsheng strictly prohibited the use of air conditioners and constantly emphasized water conservation.
We drove continuously for several hours. The hot wind was blowing gently in the vast desert; the quiet and peaceful blue sky was suddenly covered by black clouds floating in the distance. In an instant, the strong wind mixed with the whistling sand rushed towards us. It was originally gentle and charming.
The golden desert was suddenly stirred up by the storm, and bursts of sand and fog covered the sky and the sun.
A strong wind blew from the west like thunder, carrying waves of roaring sand waves. Large sand waves were tumbling in the air, colliding and rubbing against each other, making a shrill sound like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
Large pieces of sand hit the commando's body hard, making a crackling sound, and the strong wind shook the body violently, as if it was about to overturn the off-road vehicle.
"Immediately drive the car to the side of the big sand dune to avoid the sandstorm." Faced with such a violent sandstorm, Li Dongsheng immediately realized the danger and shouted at the top of his lungs into the microphone next to his ear.
Li Dongsheng knows that the best way to avoid a large sandstorm in the desert is to hide on the windward side of a large sand dune, and never hide behind the sand dunes. Once you hide behind the sand dunes, you may be buried by the sand dunes blown up by the powerful storm at any time.
Sitting in the violently shaking car, Lingling looked at the yellow sand flying in the sky and listened to the sharp whistling of the sand. She couldn't help but turn pale and huddled tightly in her seat.
Li Dongsheng saw Lingling's fearful expression, patted her gently and comforted her, "Don't be nervous, this is the power of nature! Tomorrow, you will also see the gentle and beautiful desert."
The strong wind has been howling all night since the afternoon. Wan Lin and Zhang Wa hid in the off-road vehicle with Xiao Hua and watched the raging sand. The faces of the two special operations team members who were not afraid of the hail of bullets showed fear.
Xiaohua was lying on the bridge, her eyes were glowing with blue light, her body was curled up and she was staring out the window.
The wild sand roared all night. Early the next morning, Wan Lin and Zhang Wa suddenly felt the sandstorm stop in their sleep. When they opened their eyes, it was already sunny outside, and the raging desert was still shining golden in the sun.
The colors are stunning, and the endless desert shows wonderful ripples left by the strong wind, stretching to the sky.
The surrounding environment has undergone earth-shaking changes. The huge sand dunes more than 20 meters high next to the car have disappeared, and the originally wide sandy land in front of the car is now covered with large and small sand dunes.
"Wan Lin, how are you doing?" Li Dongsheng asked from the phone. Wan Lin looked at the front of the car through the front windshield of the car. Most of the off-road vehicle had been buried in sand and dust. "The car has already been buried.
It's mostly buried, the exhaust pipe and air intake are all buried, and we're all trapped in the car. We probably can't drive out," Wan Lin replied.
"Waiting where you are, my car was also pulled out by an armored personnel carrier," Li Dongsheng said with a smile.
Wan Lin and the others were scouting from the front, so they were forty or fifty kilometers away from the entire convoy.
More than an hour later, Li Dongsheng's off-road vehicle arrived with two armored personnel carriers. Seeing Wan Lin and Zhang Wa trapped in the vehicle, Dali and others quickly ran out of the vehicle and dug a hole in front of the vehicle with a military shovel.
They dug into the pit and tied the steel cable to the tow hook of the off-road vehicle. As the track-driven armored personnel carrier roared, Wan Lin and his off-road vehicle suddenly jumped out.
Seeing the car being towed out, Wan Lin and Zhang Wa quickly opened the door and walked out with Xiaohua. Li Dongsheng stepped forward to look at the car and said to them, "Hurry up and remove the air intake at the front of the car and the exhaust at the rear."
Clean it up and get ready to go." He then notified each vehicle to check the fuel and fresh water conditions.
After a while, each car reported its situation. Each car only had half a tank of fuel left, which was enough to run two to three hundred kilometers, and enough fresh water to last two days.
Li Dongsheng immediately asked Lingling to bring up the map to check. Looking at Country T, which was still thousands of kilometers away, he couldn't help but frown. If there were no vehicles and fresh water, the commando members could still go out and bring ten delegation members with them.
It's hard to say.
He took out his satellite phone and called Yu Zhensheng, the military attache of the embassy, "What is the current situation?" Yu Zhensheng replied, "Not only is the airport occupied by the Fang government's armed forces, but they are also attacking the east side of the city formerly occupied by the government forces. All foreigners have been evacuated.
I am in city n. I am currently on my way to country t.”
Li Dongsheng's face became darker and darker. It seemed that he couldn't go back now. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and retreat to Country T.
He immediately ordered to save fresh water and continue to advance, while Wan Lin and Zhang Wa continued to arrive for investigation.
Wan Lin and Zhang Wa led Xiaohua to conduct reconnaissance forward fifty or sixty kilometers ahead of the commando. After traveling for more than 200 kilometers, the fuel indicator light on the car suddenly came on. Wan Lin quickly called Li Dongsheng to "Leopard Head"
, the fuel indicator light is on, it’s almost out of fuel! Stop where you are and wait,” Li Dongsheng ordered.
Li Dongsheng brought the following vehicles to the Wanlin vehicle. The engines of the two armored personnel carriers gasped for a few breaths and stopped running. Li Dongsheng got off the armored vehicle in front and said to Li Dongsheng, "We are two
The armored vehicles are out of gas."
Li Dongsheng looked up at the sky. There was no cloud in the blue sky. The scorching sun had reached the middle of his head, and the ambient temperature was already as high as 50 degrees.
The team members jumped out of the car one after another and kept wiping sweat with their hands. Wan Lin saw Xiaoya getting off the car and hurried over with Xiaohua.
Xiaoya's face was flushed with heat, and she was taking off the hat on her head and fanning her face from side to side. Wan Lin quickly took the water bottle from his body and handed it over. Xiaoya raised his head and took a sip, and then poured it into Xiaohua's mouth at his feet.
At one o'clock, he handed the kettle to Wan Lin.
"Sister, how is Lao Wang's injury?" Wan Lin asked Xiaoya, "It's still stable, but it's too hot right now, which is not good for the recovery of the injury." Xiaoya said a little worried.
Li Dongsheng was standing next to Lingling at this time. "Is there no information from the enemy yet? No. The enemy must have gone radio silent." Lingling wiped the sweat from her face and said a little frustrated.
"Everyone pay attention, bring food and water with you, check your equipment, and prepare to abandon the car and move forward on foot," Li Dongsheng ordered everyone.
At this time, Lin Mo, the leader of the petroleum delegation, walked up to Li Dongsheng and asked a little worriedly, "The vehicle is out of fuel and there is not much fresh water. How are we going to get out of this desert?"
Li Dongsheng glanced at the members of the delegation who were gasping for air with their mouths open, and said, "There is no way. City h has been occupied by anti-government forces. We can only move forward through the desert and go to country t. You will be a good delegation."
Members’ work, more difficult days are ahead.”
Li Dongsheng immediately called all the people to his side and warned, "Currently we can only cross the desert on foot. High temperature and lack of rain are the characteristics of the desert. The temperature is now over 40 degrees. If we want to get out alive, we must keep our bodies hydrated."
As he said that, he took out the sleeping bag from his backpack, tore off a piece and put it over his face, leaving only his two eyes exposed. "Follow my method and cover your face. This will not only block the wind and sand, but also prevent sweat from evaporating.
Save as much water as possible in your body."
The team members quickly took out their sleeping bags and tore them into square pieces of cloth. They first handed them to members of the oil delegation, and then tied them on their faces.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Li Dongsheng ordered Dali and Hong Tao to remove the bench seats from the armored personnel carrier, made a stretcher for the injured Wang Hong, and then waved and shouted "Let's go!"
