Chapter 395 This is the front line
At dawn, Team Spark set out east.
The White Nile is just to the east, up to thirty kilometers away, and it takes up to an hour to get there at normal speed, but there is a road on the west bank of the White Nile.
For Team Spark, who needs to cross the river secretly, having a road is not a good thing.
But Malakal City and Malut are both on the east bank of the river, and because there is almost no infrastructure here, these two cities built along the river are not distributed on both sides of the river like other places in the world, but only on
east coast.
In this case, there should be no vehicles or pedestrians on the road parallel to the river on the west bank of the Nile. This reduces the probability of Spark Team being discovered, but after crossing the river, the probability of being discovered is much higher.
The probability of exposure increases after crossing the river, but Team Spark has also lost all its cars. If they really encounter a cleaner, it will naturally become more difficult to escape.
As for being discovered by the enemy, Gao Yuan didn't think much about it. With the current ability of Spark Team, being discovered by the enemy would be a complete failure.
There are not many people in Team Spark, but they have gathered the best people in the world. Gao Yuan has no doubt about this.
The off-road vehicle at the front stopped, and then the two members of the Bombing Team got out of the car and ran forward quickly. After seeing the actions of the leading vehicle, the vehicles behind them stopped one after another. If the front team members issued a dangerous signal,
If there is a signal, these cars will quickly disperse around to find a suitable hiding place.
Ralph was one of the two people who got out of the car to explore the road. They must have found traces of the road. Ralph and his men stopped. Neither of them paused much. Ralph immediately turned around and put his hands on the road.
Cross in front of you.
This means to stop moving forward and take cover immediately.
Gao Yuan, who was holding the telescope, immediately said: "Hidden!"
Song Qian immediately drove the car towards a tree near him, but there were no woods here, and the distance between each tree was quite large. It was a typical savanna, not a forest that was convenient for hiding.
If you use a walkie-talkie to ask questions, you will know what you have found, but if you use a radio, it may be intercepted by the enemy. Using code words or passwords will not make the enemy understand what is being said, but the detection of a radio signal itself explains the problem.
So Team Spark must maintain radio silence for now.
Ralph raised his arms and waved them forward vigorously, so Song Qian immediately turned the car around and drove back along the way he came.
After retreating for two kilometers, there was a forest with relatively dense trees, and the convoy finally stopped here.
Except for the driver who stayed behind, everyone got out of the car and prepared for battle, because if an emergency retreat was needed, the enemy would not be far away.
Ralph and his men had returned, and they did not delay long, but soon returned and retreated into the forest.
"What's going on?"
Ralph's expression was stern, and he whispered: "The main road, and there are traces of heavy equipment driving on the road. It is very dense and was left recently."
If the cleaners occupy the two cities on the right side of the river bank, that is, the two cities on the west, then the vehicle traffic between the two cities should also be on the right side, not the left side of Gaoyuan's side.
There must be something wrong when something goes wrong, especially in war. If any abnormality is found, there must be something abnormal.
Surte's brows furrowed and he began to enter a state of deep thought.
Gao Yuan looked at the map. The roads shown on the map only connected Malakal and Malut. If there are a large number of vehicles driving back and forth here, then they can only go between these two cities.
This is Africa, a vast and sparsely populated place. Many people living in the city cannot imagine what it would be like to walk dozens or even hundreds of kilometers without seeing anyone. But here, hundreds of
It’s so normal that there are no inhabited areas for kilometers.
The population of South Sudan is concentrated on the east bank of the White Nile. On the west bank, if there is large-scale vehicle mobilization, it can only come from North Sudan, or two cities on the east bank. If there is no
On the premise that there is no bridge, it is necessary to cross the river to the west bank with great difficulty.
The problem didn't seem big, but Ralph's discovery made everyone think deeply.
Ralph whispered: "There are two explanations for this situation. One is that the cleaners occupy a very large territory here, but they still have no reason to drive on the left bank. The other explanation is that the cleaners occupy the right bank, but they
We have to choose the road on the left bank to move back and forth, because we will encounter attacks on the right bank."
Sirte nodded and said with a serious face: "Yes, the latter is more likely, but this means that the cleaners must have bridges, and at least two bridges. If there are bridges, the right bank is dangerous.
So the convoy passed through the bridge under our control and reached the left bank where the enemy could not reach, which would be much safer."
After finishing speaking, Soult looked at Ralph. He did not make any provocative words or expressions, but said solemnly: "Everyone has discovered something."
"Tanks! Armored vehicles, as well as wheeled trucks, are very dense. It's impossible to judge the number, but the traffic is very frequent, in both directions."
After Ralph finished speaking, Sirte immediately said: "I think tanks and armored vehicles are escorting the convoy, because Malut is an important city in the northernmost tip of South Sudan, where it is a transportation hub, and Malakal is South Sudan's horse transport hub.
The largest city in the Rakal region is also the core city, but there are three hundred kilometers between Marakul and Malut. At this distance, tanks rely on their own power to move back and forth, so unless the cleaner wants to quickly scrap his tank
,Motorcycle hours are not wasted like this.”
Li Jingang said solemnly: "There are battles, and they are very frequent."
Sirte exhaled and said, "It's troublesome."
Gao Yuan had to admit that he didn't understand, so he whispered: "Why bother?"
Soult raised his head, looked to the east and said: "There must be dense outposts on the right bank. No, they are not fixed outposts, they must be patrol units with strong combat effectiveness, because no matter who the enemy of the cleaners is, they must be given to the cleaners.
It caused a lot of trouble. Otherwise, the cleaners would have no need to send tanks to escort them. And after arriving here, the cleaners have one and only one enemy, the ram, the ram’s Satan!"
When it comes to this, others have little say, because Soult is the one who is most familiar with the situation.
Soult said softly: "Based on my understanding of Ram, he will definitely attack the enemy's supply line with all his strength. This guy is good at and likes small-scale raids, and now it seems that he has indeed caused a great deal of damage to the cleaners.
