"Quickly, pack your things!"
Among the noisy voices, Sarah's voice calling for her father had disappeared, and now it was replaced by the voice of another wife who had just given birth calling for her husband.
And the husband whom she called affectionately was leaning next to the camel and silently wiping tears.
The bond of the family is fundamental, especially in such a harsh environment, the blood connection of the family will be even closer. After learning that his wife had given birth to a child, the husband immediately thought of returning.
But now there are too many people and it is unrealistic to leave. Their chief has not learned anything else, but he has learned from the Libi News Agency how to deploy military police. His cronies are scattered in various tribes. In the combat detachment formed, on the surface, these cronies are to better coordinate the battle and accept orders, but in fact, they are also responsible for supervising the army.
Although the Tuareg people are not as hierarchical as before, they still retain a strong sense of feudal class. Therefore, no one would want to offend these supervisors, because doing so will harm their families and once they are expelled tribe, there is almost no possibility of survival.
This is why when the chief raises his arms, all the young men have to leave their wives, children and families to join the war.
But now, the wealth promised by the chief has disappeared, and there have been few victories. Except for the previous few times, which were very smooth, the guerrillas have continued to lose men, and even precious assets such as camels have died a lot. Therefore, those who were originally The contradictions of suppression intensified.
Although the man who missed his wife and children was eager to go home, he could only follow the movement of the large army to see if there was a chance to sneak away.
But somehow, the bird helicopter seemed to be halfway in contact with the team. They moved in the night, and the bird helicopter circled near them.
This is not because the pilot's eyesight is good, but because his equipment is good because of the size issue. Shadow Company's Bird helicopter does not have any advanced night vision observation equipment, so the pilot can only use ancient experience and use himself as an excuse to mount the equipment.
Those pilots who perform night missions will carry single-channel night vision equipment. At first, they carried infrared night vision equipment, but as Shepard continued to invest in the technical personnel of the infrared branch, the pilots also All received more advanced black-and-white thermal imaging equipment.
Compared with older equipment, new thermal imaging equipment can easily distinguish the heat of different objects at a distance of kilometers.
Its principle is to use the thermal contrast between the target and the surrounding environment due to temperature and emissivity to perform imaging. The image of the old-fashioned night vision device is green and very unclear, but the current black-and-white imaging will be clearer and less clear than the old-fashioned night vision device. few.
The large number of guerrillas, coupled with the large number of camels gathered together, can be said to be extremely clear from the sky using thermal imaging.
The Little Bird helicopter is not only used to play voice messages to the other party, it also has the task of tracking the target, because the Lightning team is already taking off with bombs attached.
The main reason for using air strikes is that night combat is too difficult for the Chadians, and the PCs are not very willing to attack hundreds of cavalry at night. These descendants of the North African Berbers are still very brave in fighting. , therefore, it is better to focus on air strikes in the early stage. It will be more effective to wait until they are weakened to an order of magnitude before investing in ground personnel.
In order to make it difficult for these guys to hear the sound of the plane, the pilot of the Bird kept the voice on, even turned the volume to the maximum, and then followed the guerrillas from a distance.
The guerrillas were tormented by the noise all the way. Even the camels couldn't bear it and screamed. Finally, they had to find a leeward place to stop and camp again to rest. As for the noise, they had nothing to do. The intelligence agency in Benghazi wouldn't give it to them. Anti-aircraft missiles, so these people can only endure it.
It was not until half an hour later that the Lightning team, which arrived at an altitude of 3,000, arrived in this airspace. Compared to the Bird pilots, the attack aircraft pilots did not have night vision goggles, but they did not need them, because after learning about the Lightning After the team arrived, the pilot of the Bird Helicopter turned off the broadcasting equipment, and then drove the helicopter to the guerrilla camp at an ultra-low altitude.
Then, while passing by the campsite, the pilot of the Bird helicopter dropped a large number of heat decoys.
These devices containing magnesium and aluminum can release a large amount of light and heat in the air. Although not as durable as flares, it is not a problem to indicate targets to pilots in the sky.
The guerrillas were not fools. They had already begun to evacuate when they heard the sound of the helicopter approaching. Then, after seeing the two consecutive exploding heat bombs splashing over their heads, the smarter ones were already riding camels and preparing to run away.
The two Skyraider attack aircraft also entered the attack starting position at this time. The pilot pressed the launch button, and the cannons and rockets shot to the ground as if they were free.
In the light of the explosion, the pilot vaguely saw a running figure. After confirming that he had not missed the target, the pilots on the two planes dropped the bombs at an altitude of one thousand meters.
Seven or eight 250-pound bombs roared and exploded on the ground, instantly blasting those guerrillas who had not had time to escape into the sky.
Camels roaring, people running, and under the air raids, the whole camp was in chaos. Everyone was running around like headless flies, crying and screaming.
The man who wanted to go home had already run to the sand dunes. After the explosion, he instinctively followed the large troops back to rescue people, but after taking a few steps, he couldn't move his legs.
Anyway, the camp is still in a commotion right now, how about?
He did what he said, lowered his head and walked quickly towards the camel group that was placed on the other side and was not affected by the air raid.
Just as he was riding the camel, he suddenly found that there were many people who wanted to leave just like him. More than a dozen people got up almost at the same time.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. After more than ten seconds of silence, Sarah's father spoke first.
"Well, the chief asked me to send information!"
"I'm going to deliver a message to the guerrillas next door!"
"I will attack the enemy at night to avenge my brothers!"
Everyone happily told all the excuses they suddenly thought of, and then they all suddenly realized it.
"In this case, everyone should be busy with their own business and not interfere with each other!"
No one dared to suspect that the other party's excuse was false, because their own excuse was false. Therefore, after riding on the camel, everyone immediately started running all the way without looking back.
