514. Chapter 514: Rapid March 2
Four hours later, the mercenaries were on their way again in the dark. Heavy footsteps dragged their tired bodies, and they were like a group of ghosts roaming in the rainforest, silent.
At noon the next day, Lin Rui suddenly ordered to stop the advance, and then he leaned down and put his ear on the ground to listen.
"What's wrong?" Shogishi frowned.
"I was talking to Cobain just now, and he observed through the satellite that the Gan government forces were approaching us. Lin Rui said in a low voice, "I feel like they're only a few kilometers away from us." ”
Jason was slightly startled, "No! we must get off the main road and avoid them." ”
Lin Rui nodded, "The key is how to avoid it? I think it's more reliable to go into the jungle, we can avoid their flanks and continue to march in the opposite direction of them." ”
"It's for the best. Jiang An whispered, "Without further ado, let's go!"
Lin Rui nodded, and retreated deeper into the rainforest with this team of fifty people. Vacate the main road and give way to government forces. It could not have been imagined that while they were marching at full strength, there was an enemy squad hidden deep in the woods beside them. And the enemy team is planning to cut off their supply lines.
In order to avoid attracting the attention of the government army, Lin Rui waved his hand to stop the team from moving forward. He connected to the satellite connection with Cobain.
"We have already encountered the Gan government army, but there was no clashes, and we hid in the woods in advance. Now I need to know how many more people will be in the follow-up of such a unit?"
"The information I have available here is also limited, but I have found that this unit is two infantry divisions of the Third Army of the Gan National Defense Force. It is claimed that there are 8,000 men, but the situation of these warlord troops eating empty salaries is very strict. There are actually not that many of them, and the total number should be around five thousand. Cobain whispered, "If they follow the normal passage, they will soon be able to pass Guò." ”
"And what about their logistics and transportation troops, where is this transportation force?" Lin Rui said vigilantly.
"The convoy of data that had been transmitted back twenty minutes ago seemed to have slowed down again, and I felt that they had given up on catching up with the vanguard in front of them, because it was obvious that they could not catch up at the moment. The combat units of the Wehrmacht were all lightly armed and motorized. A large amount of material and baggage transportation fell on the logistics transport team. This made it impossible for them to catch up with the troops in front, so they simply gave up the pursuit. Cobain replied.
"That's good news, I've been scared that they're going faster than we expected. As a result, we couldn't keep up with them, and now they have slowed down, which is extremely beneficial to our actions. Lin Rui nodded.
"Don't get too happy, there's not too good news for you. Cobain whispered, "It's news from Morningstar." ”
"What?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Morningstar Company did not hesitate to pay a price this time, not only did it invest thousands of troops in Ganguo, but also brought a large number of weapons and equipment. Even helicopters and light armor were not numerous, but they were enough of a threat to the indigenous militias of the National Liberation Organization. "There's evidence that one of the lightly armored squads is with that convoy, which makes your attack more difficult." ”
"They have armored vehicles?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Armored personnel carriers or light infantry combat vehicles should be wheeled light vehicles. Mobility is good, but the armor defense is actually not very strong. What you really have to be careful about is the helicopter. Coppen said.
"That's fine, it's rainforest, it's densely vegetated, and as long as you take care of it, their helicopters won't be much of a threat. Lin Rui nodded.
After turning off the communication, Lin Rui, the mercenaries, said in a low voice, "We are close enough to the destination now, and we will arrive at the designated location by tomorrow morning at the latest." I've already spoken to Cobain just now. He was now able to determine that we were finally ahead of the convoy. ”
"Great!" Jason punched hard, "I knew it was going to work!"
The other mercenaries also breathed a sigh of relief, and Wang Haoze sighed, "Great, we are finally worthy of this rapid march day and night." ”
Lin Rui stretched out his hands and said, "Stop for a moment and listen to me." The battle that follows will be very dangerous, but it's also very important. Whether we can blow up the roads and block the logistics of the government forces will be a key part of the whole situation. I ask you to be wiser than brave. I don't want a bunch of crazy people who are not afraid of death, I want smart people who can get the greatest results at the lowest cost. ”
"You just tell me what to do, right?" Jason nodded, "We'll listen to you." ”
"Our main goal is to destroy the roads. Of course, you can also make them pay a little price by the way. But killing and wounding the enemy is not our main goal, saving ourselves is. If we want to fight hard, we can't fight enough to have a few times more people. So I don't want any of them to have an accident, okay?" Lin Rui said in a low voice, "Listen to my arrangement, let us do this vote and go back alive!"
The mercenaries all nodded, silently. They all crawled out of the ruins together with Lin Rui in the battle of Mavo. So the trust between them is also stronger.
Lin Rui put his ear to the ground and listened for a moment, then turned his head and said, "The convoy of the government army has not finished yet, but I estimate that it has come to an end, and there are no more vehicles behind it." Once they are fully clear, we hit the road and continue as fast as we can, ready to go!"
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Lin Rui stuck to the ground again and listened for a long time, and there were no vehicles passing by before returning to the road with everyone.
Lin Rui took these fifty mercenaries and marched all the way, and finally arrived at the Azula River at ten o'clock in the evening. This large river in the territory of Gan is rich in water, bringing dense forests to the vicinity. And that transport road is just across from the Azula Bridge.
Lin Rui personally ordered everyone to rest nearby. Wait until dawn the next day to take action. They spent the night by the river, and the next day they crossed the bridge and hurried towards their intended destination. Finally arrived at the predetermined place in the morning, around Lin Rui, he was very surprised to find that this section of the road was indeed a very treacherous section.
There are cliffs on one side and canyons on the other, just like a winding mountain road. The road was built decades ago, and the gravel pavement and rocky roadbed below are not very solid.
