Chapter 231: In the Same Boat
The captain's face changed suddenly, "Oh no, it seems that this is ridiculous that they are really coming at us, how dare they"
Lin Rui sighed, he knew that in fact, the neutral UN peacekeeping forces did not have "enemies", but this did not mean that they could stay away from danger. With the deterioration of security, there were 61 attacks on UN forces in Africa in 2013, with 14 peacekeepers killed and 35 injured, the highest number of casualties in UNAMID's history.
In one of the strictest attacks, seven peacekeepers from Tanzania were killed.
Lin Rui shook his head and said, "These soldiers of the Free Liberation Alliance are actually a group of armed bandits, and it is no surprise that they have robbed homes and houses. The nearby villages were also almost ransacked by them, and there was nothing left to salvage. You're different here, you have food, supplies, and weapons and ammunition that they desperately need. ”
Ivan frowned, "How many people do you have here?"
"We have at most one platoon of soldiers here, on alert duty. The rest of the people went with the Protective Military Observer Group, damn it," the captain said a little nervously, "I know that our defenses here are insufficient, and even self-defense is difficult. There are also so many expatriates from all countries waiting to be evacuated. If they attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
"Organize all your men to participate in the defense, and if possible, see if any young men volunteer to join you. This base must be held as much as possible. Lin Rui shouted in a deep voice.
"But we can't," the captain said with some difficulty, "we have many restrictions on the use of force in conflict countries, and even for self-defense purposes, we must obtain permission from our superiors." ”
"Hell, then contact your superiors and go into battle at the same time" Lin Rui grabbed the captain's clothes, dragged him up from the ground, and said viciously, "Look at these civilians in the camp, as well as those women and children. Do you know what happens to the rebels when they rush in?"
"These bandits will kill everyone here to cover up their attacks on the peacekeepers. Captain, think about your family, do you want to be put in a coffin and covered with the flag to go back" Ivan said coldly.
The captain gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll arrange it." But you"
"We are not your enemies, Captain. And in this situation, we are in the same boat, and no one wants this ship to sink. You are responsible for organizing the men to guard the east gate. We will help you. Lin Rui patted him on the shoulder and said.
The captain nodded reluctantly, he had no other choice now. This is not the first time he has been on a peacekeeping mission, and he has seen more brutal war scenes than anyone else. He also knew that once these armed thugs rushed in, no one in this small base would be able to escape. So he hurriedly gathered his men, climbed the wall and began to defend.
The sudden and dense gunfire made these civilians panic. Some cried, some exclaimed. A doctor in the emergency tent rushed out, looked at them with some surprise and said, "What's going on?"
"We're in a bit of trouble, but don't worry, the captain and we'll get it out. Lin Rui waved his hand and said, "How is the operation inside?"
"The operation was carried out to the end, and the patient's condition was quite stable. Fortunately, it was delivered in time, and the bullet had just been removed, and all that remained was to clean and stitch it. The doctor hesitated, "Is there really nothing?"
"Go back to surgery, thank you. Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Our team owes you." ”
After speaking, he said to the other team members in a deep voice, "They haven't finished the operation yet, and we must not leave like this." So the only way to do this is to help those blue helmets defend this base. Because once these armed men from outside rush in, everyone here will not want to live. Including us and Boss Zhao, who is undergoing surgery. ”
"Understood. Ivan nodded.
"Very well, Ivan, the two of us are going to assist the Captain. Yelena, you go up to the wall on the other side and let the rebels see what you can do. Peng Lefeng, you are responsible for covering her. Lin Rui thought for a while and said, "It depends on the situation, it is best to repel them." If it really doesn't work, Peng Lefeng, you will drive a helicopter to send Lao Zhao and those doctors out, and the rest will break through with me.
Yelena nodded, carrying her heavy sniper rifle and up the iron escalator to the fence on the other side. Fan Jiannan and Ivan climbed the wall of the front gate, and a rain of bullets strafed them, forcing them to lower their heads when they had just climbed the wall.
"Damn, how many of them are there," Lin Rui shouted.
"There were about a hundred people, four or five armed pickup trucks, and the firepower was fiercer than ours. The barrier couldn't stop them at all, they were approaching," the captain also lowered his head to dodge the fire below.
"Damn, the terrain is open outside, and their armed pickups can gallop at will, hitting any of our points at will. Lin Rui frowned and said, "This is not good, after all, we are too few people, and it is difficult to take care of every point of this wall." ”
"I think the same way, once they get close, these metal fences and makeshift fences can't stop them at all. The captain looked up helplessly, fired a volley of bullets downward, and leaned down again.
The other party's footsteps only slowed slightly, and then slowly advanced again under the cover of the pickup truck. Lin Rui quietly poked his head out and glanced down. It didn't matter how it looked, it almost scared his scalp to tingle.
In addition to a few pickup trucks below, there is also a heavy and huge "tank". But after taking a closer look, Lin Rui almost burst out laughing. Where is this what a tank, but a heavy bulldozer. The bulldozer's huge bucket was lifted up to block the position of the cab, and from a distance it really looked like a tank without a barrel.
It was the first time he had seen such a thing used in a war, but it was clear that the FOL people were serious. Come to think of it, once they get close, the big bulldozer will be able to do the job. The bulldozer was clumsy and heavy, but it would have been a breeze to tear down their current makeshift fence.
But the bulldozer is only a bulldozer after all, without the slightest armor protection, even if it blocks the huge bucket in front, it can only protect against bullets from the front. Lin Rui pressed the earphone and said, "Hey, Yelena." Can you find a way to stop that pile of scrap metal?"
"Yes. Yelena whispered, and a gunshot rang out. The bulldozer shuddered twice and stopped, the glass of the cab covered in splatters of blood. It was clear that the driver had been shot in the head by Yelena from the side of the fence.
"Good marksmanship. Lin Rui couldn't help but whistle
