Chapter 48: The Burning Sky (4)
When he read the message from Galel Sam, Thunderbolt was lurking in an abandoned factory in the Mosul Plains. Seeing this message, Lei Dong didn't know how to position his relationship with Galiel Sam for a while.
There is no doubt that this birdman is his enemy, and the two sides are facing each other, and the only goal is to destroy the other completely. But at the same time, it seems that he and this birdman are cooperating to a certain extent, the other party is responsible for bringing a large number of enemies to his mouth, and he is responsible for killing these enemies in a net.
This made Lei Dong suddenly have a ridiculous feeling.
But Lei Dong also knows very well in his heart that this is the most cunning and most powerful enemy he has encountered since he joined the army, and his ability to judge the surrounding situation, his ability to analyze the opponent's intentions, his ability to grasp the battle situation, his ability to command and aggregate the troops, and the ability to design traps for the opponent to throw themselves into the net, are the strongest Lei Dong has ever seen, and it can almost be called a last resort. Not to mention, this is still a warrior with extremely powerful superpowers!
A fighting spirit arises spontaneously from Lei Dong's heart, and the ultimate battle with such an opponent can be called a great joy in life, right?
Ray shook his head, banishing thoughts out of his mind and taking a closer look at his surroundings.
Now Lei Dong and his comrades-in-arms are hiding in the abandoned building of a small oil refinery in the early years, about 100 kilometers from the city of Mosul.
The Mosul Plain was originally one of the most important oil-producing regions in the Republic of Ilette, accounting for nearly half of the country's total oil production, and large and small oil refineries dotted the plain. Dense oil pipelines. It extends from the major oil wells and storage tanks in the oil field, and part of it is used for crude oil export. The other part is directly connected to the refinery, where it is used or exported as refined oil after refining.
This was originally the main source of income for Ilette. Thanks to crude oil extraction and refining, the small country of Theshire was once one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. However, with the two large-scale wars after the nineties of the last century, the various sects and nationalities of Irette Uguchat began to fight endlessly, and these refineries and oil wells were almost completely abandoned.
After the IWS was "founded", Gallier Sam, alias Buck Bangedi, forcibly integrated the various local forces at the first time, strengthened the control of the oil fields in this area, and quickly restarted the production of the oil fields. But limited to technical and human qualifications, or to put it more bluntly, Galel Sam was not in the mood. Production at the refinery has been slow to start.
But the area is still highly regarded as the most important source of IWS funding, with armed patrols guarding the fields on the hundreds of square kilometres of plains where the fields are located, and more than 300 well-armed militants stationed in a large refinery 10 kilometres from where the mines are hiding to counter large-scale attacks.
Right now. Lei Dong aimed at this oil field.
This is not because this is where IWS comes from, in fact, since the use of Atherman warplanes to bomb IWS's oil convoys. In particular, after the border passages were closed by the forces of various countries, the foreign oil smuggling channels of the IWS have been basically cut off. Even if it produces 10 million tons of oil every day, it would be a fart if it can't be sold.
Lei Dong took a fancy to the militants in the area around the oil fields.
As a special operations squad of only four people. To deal with thousands of militants and annihilate them all, it is only up to them to kill them one by one. Definitely not, not to mention how much effort it takes. It's just that some guys see that the situation is not good, turn around and run to a place where birds don't, and I don't know how much time it will take to find them, how can Lei Dong have that time and patience?
In this case, the most effective way is to attract a large number of enemies to a certain location in waves, and use pre-arranged traps to destroy them in groups and formations.
And this oil field is a very good target. An attack on the patrolling militants on a sufficient scale will inevitably attract a large force stationed at the refinery, and in the event of an unstoppable attack on its main force, the IWS hierarchy will send a large number of militants around Mosul to the rescue, as long as they are not outright cowards and fools.
When the time comes...... Lei Dong laughed fiercely.
This is an excellent opportunity to annihilate the living forces of IWS en masse. Moreover, the battle in the future will mainly have to be fought like this.
Although the IWS is now under siege from all sides, the internal leader is missing, and there is a risk of falling apart under great pressure, with a large number of deserters, or even the inability to organize a large team to fight back, Lei Dong is convinced that since Galel Sam's goal is to kill these terrorists cleanly, then he will definitely solve the problem, otherwise he is not worthy of being his opponent.
This is Thunderbolt's trust in Galel Sam, just as Gallel Sam is convinced that no matter how many people he sends to him, he will be annihilated by himself.
The real decisive battle is not now, not how to fight the IWS bandits, but in the near future, after the remaining nearly 10,000 IWS bandits have all been beheaded, the final collision with Galel Sam!
Lei Dong put away his distant thoughts, waved his hand and made a few gestures, beckoned Lang Tianyu and a few people to his side, and explained the battle plan in a low voice. A few minutes later, four figures burst out of the small workshop and disappeared into the wilderness.
……
It was early in the morning, and the sky was dark and dreary.
In the tropical desert climate of the predominantly Illet, close to the northern mountains, close to the Otherman Empire, belonging to the Mediterranean climate of the Mosul plain, but relatively cool, on this day at the lowest temperature, the whistling wind with a moist breath, blowing all over the wild grass, bringing a touch of coolness.
In the middle of this wilderness, there is a simple road, not too narrow in width, enough to accommodate two heavy trucks passing side by side, but the road is rugged, under the broken cement surface, revealing patches of yellow-black earth, like a face full of psoriasis, in the middle of the road, from time to time there will be a clump of lush weeds more than a meter high, but more often, it is a long grass that has been crushed by vehicles and falls to the ground.
Obviously, this is a temporary and urgent road on the basis of the original road.
In the middle of the road, a guy was carrying an M32 assault rifle and a huge flashlight in his hand, walking leisurely. Behind the flashlight was a team of nine men, each carrying a rifle crookedly.
Maybe it was to be courageous, or maybe it was out of boredom, this ten-man squad, talking to each other as they went, had no discipline at all in the ranks of regular troops, and they were not allowed to speak.
"Naiti, this oil field has been shut down for several days, why do you still need us to patrol every day?" At the end of the line, a tall bearded man yelled in dissatisfaction.
The leader shook his flashlight around for a while, and then said in a sullen voice: "This is an order from above, who knows?" I said everyone to go faster, finish patrolling early, and go back to bed early It's serious, so much to worry about him! ”
"Hurry up? Let's say it lightly! The bearded man kicked a piece of grass beside him, raised his voice, and said with a very dissatisfied look in his tone, "I don't have the spare strength!" This month's salary hasn't been paid yet, and if it goes on like this, let alone sending money to my hometown, I can't even afford to eat the mutton by hand, how can I go faster? ”
When it comes to salaries, a group of people apparently immediately find a common language and quarrel with each other.
"Isn't it? In the past, with the officers of the Raku Brigade, he could still pay his salary every month, but since he followed this IWS, he had promised a good salary increase of 30%, but now he has not seen a child, he knew this, it is better to ......" A thin guy muttered dissatisfiedly, but seemed to realize something, and was very vigilant and did not continue, but stopped his mouth in time, and looked around with a pair of small eyes, as if he was afraid that others would hear something else from his words.
But someone heard his words clearly, and a guy in front of the thin man who looked to be over forty years old said with a bitter face: "And a salary increase? Stop dreaming! Don't you know that the oil field has been shut down for several days? If it goes on like this, let alone a salary increase, I think it's good to have a full meal! ”
"Is this true, Azim? Doesn't it mean that work will be restarted soon? The thin man and the bearded man asked together.
"How is it not true?" The middle-aged man named Aizimu sighed, "Back to work? Haven't you heard that our Yunyou channel has been completely cut off, even if the oil is drilled, what's the use of not being able to sell it? ”
"What?" This sentence stunned everyone, and several people cried out almost at the same time, "This can't be!" ”
Seeing the reactions of his partners, Aizimu sneered again and again, but stopped talking.
"Uncle Aizimu," seeing that Aizimu refused to speak, the bearded man was a little anxious, and patted his ass repeatedly, "I know that Uncle you are well-informed, tell me quickly, what's going on?" Why don't everyone know about such a big thing? Even the chief, there is not a single statement? ”
"Chief? Statement? Hmph," Aizmu sneered, "Now, the leader himself doesn't know where he has gone......
"Shut up!" One didn't speak, but while listening to everyone's gossip and discussion, Naiti, who was throwing money to lead the way, suddenly broke off and interrupted Aizmu's words.
Knowing that he had lost his words, Aizimu immediately shut up and never said another word.
However, his expression, as well as Naiti's reaction, told them that what Aizmu had just said was probably true!
This is too shocking news, the leader of the Order, the leader of the group who has performed many miracles, missing?
Everyone looked incredulous, stammering but unable to say a word.
