Lin Rui once told the Mali side that every time they sneak in, it is very likely to be the last operation, because they often need to be very close to the target area to allow the mortar to enter the range. At this time, they are basically in the enemy's Surrounded.

Even if they successfully guide the bombers to complete the bombing, they often need to break through the layers of interception by the Tuareg armed forces in order to escape the pursuit of the militants.

Therefore, every successful infiltration is very difficult, and dozens of human lives are used as a bet.

After learning about the action plan in detail, the Mali air force major and his crew members admired the courage of these mercenaries on the ground and the Malian special forces.

Therefore, although the major knows that the risk of their mission is very high, he is still unwilling to give up such an opportunity, because he knows that once they give up the mission, Lin Rui and his troops on the ground will be in vain. A bet, a chance in exchange.

He thinks that it is undoubtedly a crime to abandon the mission because of their cowardice, and even if they have every legitimate reason to abandon the mission, the major is not willing to do so.

This time the time is tight. If they make a detour, they will not be able to reach the sky over the target one and a half hours after dawn. In this case, not only will the risk not be reduced, but it will also pose a serious threat to the ground troops.

Under the leadership of the major, the formation of bombers changed its course, hovered for a while, climbed to a high altitude, and flew directly over the firefighting area towards Gao.

Although it was not yet dark at this time, the traces of the bomber fleet in the sky could not be effectively observed on the ground, but the roar of the aircraft engine could be transmitted to the ground in the night sky, and the Tuareg armed forces on the ground , there is always an air defense sentry, always listening to the sound of aircraft engines in the air.

The Tuareg armed forces currently do not have decent radar equipment, so air defense mainly relies on visual observation in the sky, and ear monitoring at night.

Once the aircraft is found by sight or hearing, they will notify the air defense command, and the air defense command will notify the air force. Their air defense network is established in this simple way.

Not long after the Mali bomber crossed the border, when it entered the Yugao airspace, the Tuareg armed air defense monitoring post on the ground heard the sound of the bomber fleet and began to call the air defense command.

The air defense command of the 5th regiment immediately reported that enemy aircraft had entered the Niger Valley. The Air Defense Command of the Eighth Regiment immediately ordered the Tuareg armed forces along the way to strengthen their guard, monitor the sound of aircraft in the air, and report to the command at any time.

In this way, after Mali's bomber fleet entered the Niger Valley, its trajectory was monitored by the Tuareg armed forces. The Tuareg armed air defense command immediately contacted the surrounding air defense armored vehicles and informed them of the enemy's situation.

At this time, the sky had begun to gradually brighten. In the high altitude, the fish belly on the horizon could already be seen, and the Tuareg armed forces suddenly became busy. Some anti-aircraft armored vehicles started to start their engines and roared to meet the enemy.

But Mali's bomber fleet didn't know that they were in danger now, and continued to fly directly towards Gao.

At dawn, the Mali liaison officer led by Lin Rui received a message from Davis, saying that the bomber fleet was already on its way according to the plan, and they would arrive in the sky on time at the scheduled time. Please Lin Rui and the others do a good job. Prepare.

Lin Rui turned over and sat up, waking up all his resting subordinates, so that everyone entered a state of readiness for battle, and was ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

However, the current Tuareg armed forces still don't know it. They still follow the work and rest regulations. In the early hours of the morning, they began to gather for exercises. A patrol squad armed with Tuareg began to patrol around.

However, Lin Rui still observed that the Tuareg armed forces seemed to be a bit abnormal today, their vigilance was obviously higher than usual, and their alert level was also significantly higher than before, so he thought that this might be due to the Tuareg armed forces here. Mou has gained a lot of wisdom and learned a lesson, so he will behave like this.

Little did they know that at this time, there was a big man who was inspecting here. This big man was none other than Noyce, the current head of the Eighth Tuareg Armed Regiment.

When Noyce was stationed in Mokaitang a few days ago, he got the news of the attack on the camp. He was very angry at that time and got into the car overnight, preparing to rush to the camp. But when the car started, he calmed down and thought that Doing so is useless now, and it will also affect his original inspection plan.

So he held back his breath, ordered to stop advancing, and returned to the command post to continue resting. He surprised the Tuareg armed forces in the camp, but he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction, so he could only serve this guy carefully.

It is said that this guy has a very grumpy temper, but in fact this guy has a grumpy temper, but at the same time he does not lose his composure. Otherwise, this guy would not be able to climb to such a high position, and he would have made mistakes and been suppressed long ago.

Noyce is a fanatical militant in the Tuareg Liberation Organization, and he is also a relatively high-level militant, with a great strategic vision and a little commanding ability.

After actually descending from the headquarters to the grassroots level, he restrained his temper and tried to calm himself down so as not to make mistakes. When he was at the top, he could have a hard time with high-ranking officials, but he knew very well that he couldn't do this when he was leading the troops below, otherwise it would affect his prestige and cause him to make mistakes.

That's why he calmed down and ordered his subordinates to hunt down those damned attackers at a faster speed, while he himself continued to follow the plan, heading west all the way, constantly patrolling the defense line armed by Alleger along the way.

It took a few days to arrive at the camp. Just when he arrived yesterday, he received another bad news, that is, another material center was bombed again. A large number of materials stored include mules and horses, as well as cattle and sheep that will be used as food in the future. They suffered heavy losses in the bombing, almost all ammunition was destroyed, and all food was destroyed. Also fled to the surrounding jungle.

What is even more exasperating is that the enemy is very arrogant, and the combat method is still similar to that of attacking the camp. The ranger of the enemy on the ground first lurks nearby, guides the bomber to fly over the Taibanka, and then fires smoke bombs to provide target instructions for the bomber, and finally makes the bomber Drop the bomb accurately and completely destroy Taipanka.

Even after the bombing, the enemies on the ground did not escape immediately, but hid outside the Taibanka, ambushing the Tuareg armed forces driven out by the bombing, and after killing and wounding many Tuareg armed forces, they did not panic. Busy withdrew.

By the time the surrounding Tuareg armed forces arrived, the enemy had already run away without a trace. Noyce was furious at this time, and after calming down, he began to realize what the enemy was trying to do.

This time the enemy's plan can be described as extremely sinister and vicious, and they have accurately seen where their eighth regiment's current weakness lies. The enemy has obviously discovered the difficulty in supplying supplies that their Eighth Regiment is facing, and has formulated such a sinister plan in response to their weakness.

These Mali troops intend to use this method to knock out the supplies they have managed to store in the Niger Valley in the early stage, and intend to use starvation tactics to strangle their Eighth Regiment.

After trying to understand this problem, Noyce couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. Through his inspection this time, he has also truly felt the current predicament of the Eighth Regiment. The harsh environment and terrain in the Niger River Valley caused the Eighth Regiment stationed here to seem to be stuck in a quagmire. It was difficult to move here. The long supply line became their only channel for blood transfusion. The Niger River Valley was originally extremely sparsely populated. After the Tuareg armed forces arrived, the local aborigines were either forced by them to build roads and fortifications, or they fled to the deep mountains and old forests to avoid their hunt.

There is almost no agriculture here, and the Eighth Regiment can't get supplies on the spot at all. It can only get supplies from the outside through a temporary field road that is extremely simple and extremely bad.

During this period of time, the mercenaries and the Malian army have also been eyeing their transportation lines, and have continuously sent ground rangers to infiltrate and attack the railway, destroy the railway line, attack the Tuareg armed garrison along the way, and encourage the locals to hate Tuareg Reg armed.

Now the eighth and fifth regiments have to try their best to solve the food problem on the spot. First, they used the means of forced buying and selling to force food from the locals in northern Mali, but later they even disdain to use this method So they simply used the method of robbery to forcibly **** food from the locals.

This is undoubtedly a serious psychological blow to some of the original local armed forces, causing a large number of locals who were originally pro-Tuareg to turn their backs in a short period of time and become enemies who hate the Tuareg armed forces .

Even many members of the local armed forces in Mali who were armed by the Tuaregs are now unwilling to work for their Tuareg armed forces. Regg Armed Forces adopted the means of armed attack.

This situation deteriorated very quickly during this period, and guerrillas composed of locals appeared everywhere and began to launch military operations against the Tuareg armed forces. This has made it more difficult for their Tuareg armed forces to obtain food in the near future. Once they lose local support, their Tuareg armed forces are not strong enough to allow them to rob more resources, and even have to Without shrinking troops, the vast countryside was abandoned to ensure the safety of some key locations.

The situation has become worse for their Tuareg armed forces. That's not to mention, for the Eighth Regiment under his command, the situation is even more serious. Their Eighth Regiment was ordered to enter the Niger Valley. Such a barren place, with bad roads, made them transport supplies already. Very difficult.

The Tuareg armed forces stationed in the central and western part of the Niger Valley have long been unable to obtain food in accordance with the regulations. Now that the Varuban grain depot has been destroyed, their food reserves have become even worse.

The Fifth Regiment was already suffering enough, but now the limited food and ammunition they had stored, as well as mules and horses, were burned, and they were completely caught in a food shortage.

After figuring out this problem, Noyce was made into one head and two big ones. This day, he was like a trapped beast. In the headquarters, he was furious, and his subordinates scolded **** heads. Several officers He was almost pulled out and shot by Noyce's order.

Enos felt a headache when he thought of the future situation. Now their largest grain storage warehouse has also been burned to charcoal. Yesterday he walked around the grain storage warehouse and saw that the ground was burned to ashes Food, the food that should have been supplied to his soldiers to fill their stomachs, but now they are all turned into coke.

When he arrived here to inspect, some soldiers were cleaning up the ruins, sifting out the grains that had not been completely charred from the ruins, and then washing them and cooking them.

He personally tasted the porridge cooked from the screened grains. The porridge was bitter, dark, and exuded an unpleasant burnt smell.

But even so, the soldiers still ate very deliciously. It can be seen that they were so hungry that they almost forgot the smell of the food. The food should not taste like this, but in the face of hunger, the soldiers wanted to fill their stomachs like a bottomless pit. , still struggling to pull these unpalatable meals into his mouth.

Thinking of these things, Enos felt a pain in the flesh, hundreds of tons of grain! That's it! He held the rice bowl, looked at the food specially made for him in the rice bowl, and lost any appetite.

So he put down the dinner plate, pushed it aside and said, "Take these meals away! I have no appetite today! Give them to the wounded. Let's go to the heavy artillery brigade!"

As he spoke, he stood up, tidied his clothes, picked up his hat and put it on his head, took his pistol, hung it on his waist, and was about to step out, but suddenly a stern air defense siren sounded Voice.

Enos's heart shrank suddenly, and he immediately strode towards the door. At this time, his escorts swarmed, and an officer shouted to him: "Sir! The lookout post spotted an enemy bomber in the sky." , is flying towards us! Please, sir, go to the air defense department to take shelter immediately!"

Enos frowned, a little confused, wasn't this place just bombed by bombers from Mali a few days ago? Why are you here again?

So he pushed away the subordinates who were blocking him and wanted to take him to the air defense fortification, strode out of the headquarters, stood in the open space and looked into the sky.

At this time, a group of black planes appeared in the sky, and they were flying towards the camp, and at the same time they were descending. (end of this chapter)
