"Second Infantry Company, you guys, wrap them up from the right, don't let them go!"
"First Infantry Company, why did your fire coverage stop?"
Colonel Chad, who was commanding the battle, did not dare to cower in the rear like before. Although he was over forty and his physical strength was somewhat unable to keep up, he still had no problem commanding the battle from a bulletproof pickup truck.
"Second Company, move your machine guns another five meters to the left!"
"Sir, if you move the car any further, it will tip over. There's a slope over there!"
"Then just move ten meters!"
Relying on the first strike with rockets, the Chadian army successfully defeated the guerrillas' will to fight, forcing the latter to give up all plans to counterattack and begin to move to the rear.
The commander directed his troops to pursue the rear slowly. Because a pickup truck was damaged by a sneak attack by the guerrillas with grenades and rocket launchers, the commander was unwilling to get too close. The opponent couldn't escape anyway. .
"Send a message to that bastard in the second regiment and tell him to hurry up. He's already on his way!"
The bastard in the Second Regiment that the commander was talking about was another colonel who came to compete with him for business. The latter envied him for getting a big hug for more than a day or two, so the commander was ready to give him a good beating.
He plans to drive the guerrillas in the direction of the opponent, so that the opponent's men will face the pressure of the guerrillas. When the fight between the two sides becomes fierce, he can go up and take advantage!
Under the salvo of rockets, the guerrillas were already in disarray. At this moment, they followed the chief and ran towards the rear without looking back. Seeing that the Chadians were no longer behind, the chief ordered to stop and rest for a while. .
Then, he sadly discovered that there were less than a hundred people left around him.
You must know that their tribe only has more than 300 young men in total. Counting those who ran away, they have lost two-thirds. It can be said that now the entire tribe can wear sackcloth and mourn each family.
Because his team is not the so-called one from a family, but as many as there are. It is common for a family, father, son, and brothers to fight together, and now, it is also common for fathers, sons, and brothers to die together.
"Damn it!"
Only then did the chief understand why the people in Benghazi were willing to pay such a high price to hire him to cause trouble for those guys, but it was too late.
"Headman, they are chasing us again!"
After everyone had rested for less than half an hour, the sentry ran over in a panic, pointed to the distance and said tremblingly.
"There are dozens of cars, almost causing a sandstorm in the desert!"
"let's go!"
The chief felt his vision darken, but he quickly recovered, and then ordered the team to continue moving.
The guerrillas put the wounded on the backs of camels, then left a few injured camels behind, and then continued to escape into the distance.
Not long after, the Chadians drove over. Looking at the abandoned camel, the commander nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, they have already started discarding the supplies that cannot be taken away. Brothers, keep chasing. I'll treat everyone to a drink when they're done!"
"Also, kill these two camels and let's have barbecue for everyone tonight!"
In this way, the guerrillas, in an exhausted state, once again ran into another outflanking enemy infantry battalion.
But this time, it was the guerrillas who discovered them first.
"Damn it, these guys really want to kill us all here!"
The scouts sent by the chief reported that the opponent was approaching from three directions, and all pickup trucks were very close to them.
"what to do?"
"What else can I do!"
Looking at the clan members, the chief slowly stood up.
"Fight them!"
After everyone was silent for a few seconds, they all started to get angry.
"That's right, let's fight them!"
The nomads living in the desert are not short of courage. After all, if they survive in this environment, if they are not tough-minded, they are destined to perish.
"Let the clan members who are over thirty years old gather together!"
The chief then gave the order, and after hearing the order, the tribesmen understood that the last moment was coming.
No matter what nation you belong to, young people are extremely valuable. Therefore, if those old people can rely on their own sacrifices to earn a chance to survive for the next generation, no one will shrink back.
So, the fathers said goodbye to their sons, and the elders said goodbye to their brothers. They led the camels and silently came to the front of the team to gather.
Also here was the chief, who refused the other leader's offer to lead the group and instead entrusted the remaining men to the latter.
"Everything happened because of me. I don't have the face to go back and face my people. From now on, everything will be left to you!"
Having said that, the chief started slowly with less than thirty people. They wanted to attack the Chadian convoy head-on, attract the latter's attention, and give others a chance to survive.
It was almost dusk now, and the visibility in the desert had dropped a lot. The Chadian army had exhausted its energy during the day's advance. Therefore, when a group of cavalry suddenly appeared behind the sand dunes under the light, the Chadian soldiers' first reaction was Not shooting, but why are the enemies here?
It was this hesitation that caused a rocket to penetrate the pickup truck.
"Enemy attack, those *** are charging towards us!"
The exploding pickup truck instantly woke up other Chadian soldiers, and the drivers swerved towards the direction of the gunshots and began to gather.
The cavalrymen, led by the chief, also rushed forward without fear.
A machine gun pickup truck fired wildly at the scattered cavalry. The cavalryman he shot unceremoniously lay on the other side of the camel. The loyal mount blocked more than a dozen bullets for its owner. , and fell to the ground, and his owner had no time to feel sad. After rolling to the ground, he picked up the RPG at hand and pulled the trigger on the pickup truck.
Although he was also penetrated by bullets in the next second, the rocket was also fired. The machine gunner screamed and jumped out. The pickup truck and the few soldiers in front were not so lucky and were shot. The warhead hit directly.
Some cavalrymen covered themselves with grenades, rode a camel to the pickup truck, and then pulled the fuse of the grenade against the opponent's gun. The explosion immediately swallowed up the car and himself, and in the end, only the broken pieces were left. The remains and broken limbs lay everywhere.
Although there were few people, taking advantage of the surprise attack, the chief and the others broke through the Chadian encirclement after suffering nearly twenty casualties.
Due to the confusion at the moment, the Chadian soldiers also used their subjective initiative to chase the latter. In this way, a gap immediately appeared in the original three-sided encirclement.
