"Do you know what this dagger is called? This is the commando dagger of the British SAS, also known as the Fairbairn-Sykes commando dagger Ferser II combat knife. The blade is made of Parkerized carbon steel, and the surface is baked black lacquer at high temperature, and the blade is open on both sides. Sharp and reliable, like a most loyal comrade-in-arms. Lin Rui whispered in the colonel's ear.
"I use this knife in memory of a dead British comrade-in-arms who died saving me. On the day he died, I swore that no one could hurt my comrades, and no one could insult them. I am very measured with this knife, it does not hurt your blood vessels and nerves, it will not make you bleed profusely, and it will not make you permanently lose the function of your hand. But you'd better remember for me, don't have a next time!"
"Alright, Lin Rui, alright, is that the end of it?" Surya patted him on the shoulder and said a little unbearably, "I think he understands what you mean." ”
Only then did Lin Rui pull out his dagger and push the colonel away. The colonel was sweating like rain on his forehead, but he turned around and walked out of the command room without saying a word.
"Lin Rui, you have to restrain your temper. We shouldn't get too stiff with this guy. Surya shrugged, "Although I hate this man too, he was assigned by Dilia after all, and he is also considered an employer. Can't you just respect him a little bit?"
"Respect is two-sided. I'm a bit stingy and won't respect people until I get enough respect. Lin Rui shrugged. "Actuary, you and Park Dong-sang went to deal with the prisoners of war. Remember, do it nicely. We're going to have to convince the black donkey. ”
Shogishi nodded, "Don't worry." ”
After they left, only Lin Rui and Surya were left in the command room. Lin Ruier said, "There are no outsiders now, what kind of plan do you want?"
Surya frowned, "What is the plan about?"
"Play dumb with me again. My division, though your Gurkha squad is divided into eight groups, is in a different defensive zone in Tekrit. But two of the teams never really used, they were switching back-and-forth, but they never really engaged. Why is that?" Lin Rui pointed to the map behind him, "I know that passive war avoidance is definitely not your style. The reason why you are like this shows that you have a plan. Tell me, what's that plan?"
Surya smiled bitterly, "I knew it would be difficult to hide from you, I didn't expect you to be able to judge so many things just from the few lines I drew on the battle map. ”
"Because I have received an order that as soon as the government forces attacking Tekrit are defeated, then we have done all our work here and can withdraw as soon as possible. Surya said slowly, "From the current defeat of the government army is decided, I just want to figure out that Guò keeps changing guards. to adjust the team so that they can move as quickly as possible when evacuating. And these two groups, which had never faced an opponent, turned out to be reserves that were ready to be left behind for the best. ”
"Are we evacuating?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, it should be soon. Our task is to help the National Liberation Organization defend itself against the offensive of government forces. And it will create enough pressure for government forces to start peace talks with them. The garrison of the capital, where the railway bridge on the middle road, has begun to retreat. And the government forces on the outskirts of Tekrit could not support them for a few days because of lack of supplies. Coupled with the Panthers Guray and Dillia on the right, they have already broken through the southeast route. In fact, a stalemate with the government army has been formed, and there is a faint tendency to catch up. Surya shrugged, "Our mission is almost complete." ”
"That's fine. Lin Rui nodded and said, "These government troops and people from the National Liberation Organization are the same, and no matter which side they are, they are not a good thing. We might as well get out of here and let them fight to their deaths. ”
"Yes, that's Mr. Long's plan. Surya said with a smile. "Africa is a righteous war. On one side there is the dictatorial warlord, and on the other side there is the murderous mob. Who is right and who is wrong, and who will care? Even if we and Morningstar do not do things by collecting money?"
"Needless to say, this is what the dragon fat man said again. Lin Rui said with a smile.
Surya smiled, "Anyway, I really admire Mr. Long to the extreme now. He counted almost every detail of this war and was able to take every opportunity in it. He's a genius. ”
Lin Rui shrugged, "Okay, I won't accompany you to praise him." I've got to get to shore and how is it going!" he waved to Surya and walked out of the headquarters as he walked towards the place where the government prisoners of war were being held.
The place for government prisoners of war was a sewer that had been half blown up. Probably more than two hundred black soldiers were driven out of it. Apart from the clothes on their bodies, they are no different from these NLA youths who are pointing guns at them.
Most of them were thin and emaciated, they seemed to know what awaited them, it was not the first time that the National Liberation Organization had shot prisoners, and there was fear and anxiety in the eyes of all the prisoners of war.
But to their surprise, instead of being shot, they were given food. These government soldiers had been hungry for a long time, and at this time, just a little corn paste was enough to make them give up a qiē.
To their surprise, they were told that they would not be shot. As long as they voluntarily lay down their arms and surrender on the battlefield, they will all be acquitted, of course, those who insist on confrontation are another matter.
The land drenched in blood, these prisoners of war knew what this other thing meant. After eating and drinking, some of these prisoners of war even asked to stay, not wanting to leave.
But the response was: you have to go back and tell the others about what you have experienced here. When you really want to come back, you can continue to surrender in the next battle. This answer may seem a bit ridiculous, but it really planted such a concept in the hearts of these simple-minded soldiers. If you exchange fire with these people from the National Liberation Organization, there will be no problem as long as you surrender.
As long as they surrender in time, they will not shoot prisoners of war and will give food. It doesn't matter if you surrender, but these hungry government soldiers are willing to give anything in order to eat this hot food. Even as they left, all the government POWs began to look forward to the next time they were captured. And when they go back, they will spread this kind of sentiment among the government forces. If an army becomes like this, how can the battle be fought?
The people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead. This is a wise saying.
