Chapter 334 Landmines
The convoy finally headed west.
Although Yilak has been at war for many years, the role of the government is almost zero. Without the government, it means there is no organization. Without organization, no matter how many people there are, they will just be stragglers. So Gao Yuan and his convoy of several hundred people are invincible.
.
But the local chicken is different []. First of all, no one knows what the status of the local chicken is now, and secondly, no one knows what the local chicken will do. In the final analysis, one word to describe it is uncontrollable. For a place like this, it is still
It’s better to give it a wide berth and avoid it.
So how to enter Iraq from Persia?
First, we bypass the Zagras Mountains and head west into Iraq at the northern end of the Zagras Mountains. The first big city after crossing the border is Dianai. After passing Dianai, we don’t go much further.
Far away is the famous Mosul.
One of the eyes of the storm in Iraq, Mosul.
There is a reason for taking such a road that is destined to be unrest, that is, everyone thinks that it is better to take Mosul than the two-river plain of Iraq.
The Mesopotamian Plain is the Mesopotamian Plain. The earliest human civilization was born on this plain created by the Tigris River and the Euphrates River. In other words, it is the largest grain-producing area in the entire Middle East, and also has the largest concentration of cities and towns.
rural.
If you don't want to rush through the overwhelming pile of zombies, you must avoid the Two Rivers Plain.
As for whether there will be militants in Mosul, this is a secondary matter.
As the convoy drove past the edge of Mosul, you could often see the hiding Iraqis spying on the convoy.
Then, Gao Yuan and his convoy circled around Mosul, and finally had to go south to find a bridge they could cross.
The flow of the Tigris River is very small, but it is enough to stop Gao Yuan's convoy. There are roads and bridges in China. In Yilaq, a small Tigris River is enough to become a natural chasm.
There are four or five bridges in the city of Mosul, but I am worried that there are too many zombies in the city, so I will take a detour, but this detour will take more than 500 kilometers, because Mosul
South of Mehr and north of Tikrit, nearly a thousand kilometers away, there is only one road bridge passing through Makhmur.
If you walk more than 500 kilometers south from the east bank of Mosul, after crossing the bridge, you have to go back north again, and then back to the west bank of Mosul. You can only go straight for 20 kilometers, but you have to go around for thousands of kilometers.
, which took a day and a half.
And if we don't go around like this, we need to go further and pass through more big cities.
But there is a big advantage in taking this route, that is, the entire route is basically in the desert, and there will be no people in the desert, neither zombies nor armed personnel of any faction.
In this case, the fleet will travel much faster.
In the beginning, Gao Yuan studied the route with Andrew and Pan Xin every day, but later he didn't even bother to take a look at it, because there was really no technical content and there was no need for him at all.
The days passed peacefully and boringly. Apart from worrying about seeing less and less food on the supply truck, Gao Yuan really couldn't arouse any interest.
Until there was a loud bang, Gao Yuan woke up from his half-awake and half-asleep state.
The armored vehicle stopped, and everyone was very nervous about the explosion. This was the first time such a loud explosion occurred since the 21st day of departure from Afhan, so there was no reason for others to be nervous.
"What's wrong! What's wrong!"
"The lead vehicle exploded!"
Gao Yuan didn't turn on the intercom because he thought it was too noisy, but Li Yang kept it on.
After answering Gao Yuan's question, Li Yang said urgently: "Reverse the car and drive back to check the situation!"
"Is anyone in the lead vehicle injured?"
"ied!"
"Alert, alert!
When Gao Yuan turned on the intercom, he heard the noise inside. When the armored vehicle he was riding in reached three to four hundred meters back, members of another Stryker armored vehicle helped their comrades escape from the bombed armored vehicle.
When it came out, it finally started to send back clear and useful information.
"It was due to the IED explosion. Someone in the lead vehicle was hit on the head, but no one was seriously injured."
"We must pay attention, we may enter a minefield ahead."
Pan Xin and Li Yang briefly communicated on the walkie-talkie. At this time, Li Yangji said in confusion: "Where are we? Why are there minefields? Is it left behind? Is it a pressure-fired mine or is it someone remotely
Manipulation?”
"It's not clear yet, be vigilant!"
Gao Yuan opened the observation window of the armored vehicle. The vast expanse of desert outside was endless. Although he could only see one side, it didn't look like he could ambush anyone here.
At this moment, Pan Xin, who was observing outside, suddenly shouted: "Get ready to fight, there are people!"
Gao Yuan couldn't help but become nervous, and then he said urgently to Li Yang in the same carriage: "Where are we!"
Li Yang hesitated for a moment, then he shook his head and said: "We don't know either. Remember the last time we took a detour into the desert in Taidemu'er? After detouring from where to go, we don't know where to get on the road again.
That one, there are no road signs here, we don’t have detailed maps, let alone GPS, God knows where this is.”
At this moment, Li Jingang, who was operating the roof-mounted machine gun in Gao Yuan's car, said loudly: "We found someone approaching us, with unknown intentions, seven of them."
Gao Yuan felt a little more relaxed. There were only seven people, and they were willing to take the initiative to approach, so it should be fine. At least they wouldn't be fighting to the death from the very beginning.
It is possible for the other party to do whatever they want. With landmines planted on the road in advance, it is possible to blackmail the convoy into handing over food. This kind of thing is also very likely to happen.
But as long as there is something to talk about, everything will be easy to talk about.
Gao Yuan came to the other side of the armored vehicle and opened the observation window, which was also the shooting hole. He looked out twice, and sure enough he saw seven people walking over in a row.
"I don't mean to fight, but it's definitely because the person who came here is evil."
Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "We can deal with it, but let Renato go and talk first."
Before Gao Yuan could say anything, Renato had already gotten off the armored vehicle in front. When Gao Yuan could see Renato through the observation window, it meant that Renato had already walked a while to meet the visitor.
"Renato is quite proactive this time. Brother Li, can we two go and have a look?"
It was really inconvenient to not have a code name in the battle. Gao Yuan called Li Yang, and the two of them opened the back door of the armored vehicle and jumped out.
At this time, the people walking over could already see clearly, and Gao Yuan only took two steps forward, but Li Yang said doubtfully: "That's not right."
"What's wrong?"
