"Not a lot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć "Fifty trucks, two crew members each, twenty-four armored vehicles, ten crew members each, and ten infantry on six helicopters, that would have reached four hundred, and even our strength is nearly two companies." If you want to trouble us, the number will naturally exceed this number, and once an enemy of this scale appears, the base will also find it as soon as possible and send reinforcements, and it is even possible to directly send the air force to blow them up. The reason why I ask everyone to be vigilant is simply to hope that there will be fewer casualties. Do you want your family to receive your death notice? ā
"I have six siblings at home, and it doesn't matter if I don't have one." The soldier who spoke said indifferently, "But of course I still hope to live longer, at least with a stipend to give my family more income." ā
"And a pension!" The other soldiers laughed, "If you die, your family won't lose money!" ā
"!" The soldier shook his rifle and held out his middle finger.
"Stop making trouble!" Major Barney turned around and said, "There are still thirty kilometers to go to Galcayo, and if those extremist groups don't plan to give up, the next twenty kilometers will be their last chance!" Everyone, pay attention, if you want to joke back and play slowly, no one will stop you! ā
"Boom!" Just as they were laughing, a huge fireball suddenly rose from the side of a truck, and a huge shock wave blew the front of the truck directly into the sky, leaving only the body part of the truck to fall heavily after being raised for two meters, with the inertia of forward, directly plowing a sinking ditch on the road.
The vehicle that followed behind was caught off guard, and it didn't have time to brake, and it crashed directly into the rear of the truck! Under the violent impact, the bag containing the grain burst open, and a large amount of flour flew away, enveloping the entire impact zone into a white expanse!
Due to such an accident, the entire convoy stopped immediately, but fortunately, everyone's speed was not too fast, and the distance between the cars was relatively open, so except for a truck that hit the car in front, the other cars stopped in time and there was no secondary damage.
Then, six double-edged helicopters immediately pulled up the altitude and centered on the convoy to monitor all directions. The armoured vehicles in the convoy also quickly drove into the explosion and impact zone, and some soldiers jumped out of their vehicles and began to extinguish the fire with on-board fire extinguishers, and clear the scattered bags of flour - so much flour would not be much less powerful than explosives if exploded, while others were carefully guarded around with their weapons in hand.
"Is it a mine?" Instead of getting out of the car, but half of his body was drilled straight out of the hatch, Major Barney asked a second lieutenant who was in charge of the firefighting.
"It could be a mine, it could be a homemade bomb." The lieutenant replied, "But we have to put out the fire before we can scrutinize it." ā
"What about the drivers of the two cars?" The Major asked again.
"The ones in the back car were injured in the impact, but not very badly, and we're getting them out of the cab. But the two men in front of the car......" the second lieutenant paused, "they are gone...... I'm arranging for someone to clean up and see how many pieces I can find......"
Nodding his head and motioning for the second lieutenant to continue his work, Major Barney first looked at his watch, then bent back into the car and took out the walkie-talkie: "Pelican Squad, did you find anything?" ā
"Nothing, Major. We didn't see anyone around. Pelican 1 replied, "I'm about to scan the surroundings again with the thermal induction system, and if there is, they're probably hidden." ā
"Or maybe they're just trying to get us in trouble with these roadside bombs." "But the car in front of me didn't explode when it was a bomb or a mine, so I suspect it's a time bomb or a remote-controlled bomb, so you'd better scan it carefully." ā
"Understood, Major." Pelican 1 replied, "Do you need to put the infantry down from the helicopter?" ā
"Not yet." Looking around, there was only one convoy of them on this road, and there were no other passing vehicles, so although the convoy was crowded, Major Barney still felt a sense of emptiness, "If there is really no one around, then this may just be a pure bomb attack, we will leave as soon as we are done, you just have to be on guard." ā
"Yes, sir."
After ending the contact with the helicopter team, Major Barney connected to his own base again and reported this information, but this kind of emergency situation had been expected long before the convoy was dispatched, so there was not much tension on the base, but after inquiring about the situation, he asked Major Barney if the mission could continue, and after getting the major's affirmation, he asked again if he needed reinforcements, which was vetoed by Major Barney.
"We don't need reinforcements." Major Barney replied, "Those guys only dare to harass us in this way, and they don't dare to come out and fight us, so I won't give in and don't need reinforcements!" I have enough troops to get the job done! ā
"Major Barney, we don't doubt your ability, we're just worried about whether the mission will be affected, but you must think about it carefully, maybe in the next way, you will be really attacked." Yu Qian, a clone lieutenant colonel officer who stayed behind to take charge of Obia's command because Zhao Wu went to Alvincent's Gorgun base, said, "Galcayo is nearly 200 kilometers away from the base in a straight line, and if you come to ask for reinforcements again at that time, the reinforcements may not have time to arrive to support." ā
"We're only thirty kilometers away from Galcayo now, sir, even if the base sends reinforcements now, it will take a while to get here."
"But haven't you left the scene yet?" Yu Qian said, "If I send a plane here, I can get to your current location within half an hour." I suppose it will take some time for you to clean up the scene and move the supplies from the destroyed vehicle, right? ā
"If that's the case, then it's better to send reinforcements directly to the city of Galcayo, where it would be more convenient for us to rendezvous with them directly." Barney replied, "I'm about to start moving food from the damaged vehicle, so there's no way I'm going to wait here for the plane." ā
"Alright then, I'll order the support fleet to meet you at its destination." (To be continued.) )
