Chapter 1179: Closer
"Thank you! I saluted my thanks and returned to the car, where the soldiers in front of me moved the barricades and I drove slowly into the city of Zawiyah.
The outskirts of the town have been captured by government forces, and from the direction of the gunfire, it is clear that the rebels are currently massing in the east of Zawiyah in an attempt to organize a counterattack, which is currently the most intense exchange of fire, if I guessed correctly, near the refinery.
It's a strange place for me, I don't know much about the situation on the battlefield, but the crosshair is dead here, the captain must be here, the town's communications have been completely destroyed, and I don't have a GPS locator with me, so I can't contact the captain for the time being, but this area is not big, as long as the brothers don't evacuate, I can find the organization soon.
Driving through the dilapidated streets, surrounded by smoke and war, the houses on both sides collapsed in the shelling, turning into pieces of rubble, the road was full of potholes, there were craters from mortars everywhere, and there were dead bodies everywhere, government soldiers in military uniforms, rebels in civilian clothes but carrying guns, no matter which side, the outcome was the same, abandoned on the cold battlefield, the corpses were broken by bullets.
In addition to the soldiers who fought at war, there were many civilians who did not have time to flee among the corpses, children as young as two or three years old, and old people as old as sixty or seventy years old, they were lying miserably in the ruins, their faces were full of fear and despair, this is the disaster brought about by war, in addition to pain is death.
"What did you show those soldiers? It was so easy to let us in. Heidi had a strange look on her face.
"Nothing, I just told them that I was Chinese!" I smiled faintly.
"Oh, the Chinese are amazing, it seems that those war-torn countries are very friendly to you, if you tell them that I am an American, they will definitely not let them go." Heidi sighed and said with some frustration.
"Well, maybe I'll kill you." I'm not alarmist, the Yankees have been fueling the flames, vowing to overthrow the Gaddafi regime, and the government forces are naturally hostile to the Americans.
"Quite possibly, but I'm not afraid, because you won't allow them to do that." Heidi blinked wide-eyed, assuming that I would protect her.
"Don't think too much, I don't have such a deep friendship with you!" As I spoke, I turned into a half-collapsed factory and found a hidden place to stop.
"Get out of the car!" I said a word to Heidi, and jumped out of the car with my backpack in my hand.
"Where are we going?" Heidi opened the trunk and took out her gear and carried it on her back.
"Now there are two roads, one is that we go our separate ways, you drive back the same way, you go wherever you like! The other is to follow me, but I can't guarantee that you will return alive. ”
Originally, I wanted to let her go back directly, but then I thought about it and felt that it was not very authentic, so let her drive back by herself, maybe she would be killed by the government army before she left the city, for the sake of her trusting me so much and helping a lot, let her choose for herself.
"Do you still have to choose, you brought me to this hellish place, and you still want to leave me alone? There are no doors, and besides, my friends haven't been found yet, and I'll be following you until you help me find them. Heidi tilted her head with a look on her face like what you can do with me.
"Hehe, come if you're not afraid of death!" I don't care, a person who doesn't even care about his own life or death, will he care about the life of an outsider? It's okay to follow me, but whether you can live or not depends on her creation.
At this moment, a dozen fireballs rose in a row from the northeast, especially conspicuous in the dark night sky, and a moment later a deafening explosion rolled in, and the battle began again, the government army suddenly launched a fierce artillery bombardment, and a group of fireballs rose from a distance, illuminating most of the town.
"Let's go, go over and have a look!" I took the case out of my backpack, assembled the M200, took out a magazine for armor-piercing bullets, pushed the chamber hard, got up and felt for the explosion.
"Hey, you're looking for death, there's a firefight going on over there!" Heidi grabbed me.
"If you're afraid of death, stay here, it's safe here!" I shook off her hand and got up and walked towards the refinery, Heidi hesitated for a moment, then finally crossed her mind and quickly followed.
Bypassing the ruins, there were fierce gunshots and the screams of shells not far away, and you could feel the waves of air blowing on your body from such a distance, and there was already a sea of fire ahead.
"Oh my God, why should I follow a madman on the road!" Heidi followed closely behind me, muttering as she went.
Bypassing a collapsed house, less than 200 meters away from the place of the firefight, you can clearly see the tongue of fire spewed out by the heavy machine gun on the vehicle, the offensive of the government army is quite fierce, and the covering artillery fire is also large-caliber heavy artillery.
On the other hand, the rebels really have nothing to handle, they are completely suppressed in the rubble, and they can only rely on the AK and bazooka in their hands to counterattack, if it were not for the government artillery did not dare to blow up the refinery, it is estimated that the rebels would have died long ago.
I don't know what task the captain is on, and which side he is on, but it is more likely to support the rebels, because it was the French military that invited us, and their purpose was to eliminate the government army and overthrow the Gaddafi regime.
Thinking of this, I looked around, and there was a building fifty meters away that was still well preserved, with a wide field of vision and the ability to monitor the entire battlefield.
"Follow me!" I turned around and grabbed Heidi and bent down to reach the building.
"Where are you going, you will be found if you go any further!" Heidi followed me closely for fear of losing it.
"Aren't you brave? I've never seen you so timid in Afghanistan! I glanced at her with a mocking tone.
"How can it be the same, in Afghanistan I am fighting for my country, in this hellish place, no one knows if I die!" Heidi's face was full of reluctance.
"I can't see that you're quite patriotic!" I chuckled, suddenly turned around and reached out to grab Heidi's small waist, and lifted her above my head with a slight force, sending her up to the wall in front of me, which was nearly two meters high.
"Oh my God, that's so high!" Heidi climbed up the wall and looked down with a panicked expression.
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!" After speaking, I jumped up, grabbed the wall with both hands, and turned up on it, and looked down, I grass, there was a pit underneath, what the hell, no wonder Heidi squatted on the wall and didn't dare to jump.
I took a deep breath, propped one hand on the wall, jumped down, landed steadily, looked around to make sure there was no danger, and then got up to leave.
"Hey, where are you going, and me!" Heidi crouched against the wall and shouted.
"Damn, women are so troublesome!" I rolled my eyes, turned back to the wall, and held out my hands as if I were holding a child.
"Hey, hey!" Heidi smiled with a conspiracy and threw herself at me with open arms, and when I saw that this posture was about to ride me, I took a decisive step to the side.
