Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

"Wadi, what is that?" Near the settlement of the Carib tribe, Mutim looked at the three-wheeled motorcycle flying in the sky and asked curiously.

"A big bird." Wadi looked up and said unhappily.

"No, no, no, its wings won't move." Mutim continued, "Its wings won't move whether it flies here or there."

"That's nothing. An eagle can fly without moving its wings," Wadi said. "If you have nothing to do, you can go to the sheepfold and clean up the shit. There's too much shit."

They didn't think that this thing had anything to do with humans. In this place, these people had never even seen an airplane.

Therefore, even though they found traces of Xiang Yunrong and his men's actions in the sky, they did not react at all.

Not only the camp of this tribe, but the camps of other tribes also show traces of their past.

But no one cares.

More than two hours later, the Cheetah all-terrain vehicle carrying Zhou Lei and his team arrived near the tribal camp.

"Get off the car, hide the car, leave five people to guard it, and the rest of the team members will walk to the tribe's camp." Zhou Lei waved his hand and gave the order on the walkie-talkie.

The five Cheetah all-terrain vehicles immediately searched for nearby bushes and moved over. The team members pulled out multi-functional daggers from their bodies and cut off some branches to camouflage the Cheetah vehicles, and then left a group of people to squat in the bushes to guard the vehicles.

The team's heavy machine gun equipment is on top and must not be lost. At critical moments, this group of people can drive the Cheetah to provide reinforcements.

Although Zhou Lei didn't think such a thing would happen.

But still, take precautions.

"Battalion Commander, we found three marks of different styles here. We suspect they were left by different people. One of them looks very similar to the method used by the veterans of our independent regiment." Zuo Anjie from the first team whispered to Zhou Lei.

Zhou Lei's eyes narrowed, his brows furrowed slightly, and he squatted down to carefully examine the three marks pointed out by Zuo Anjie. Although these marks were hidden, they were as obvious as lighthouses in the dark night for them who had undergone special training.

"These three marks," Zhou Lei analyzed in a deep voice, "the first one looks like a random pile. In fact, the three branches of different lengths may be some kind of mark within our brother unit. Feedback this pile mark to the headquarters and let them contact the rear headquarters to inquire about the meaning of this mark. I believe someone must know; the second one is arranged in a regular pattern. If I am not mistaken, it may be some kind of coded direction mark; as for the third one..." Zhou Lei carefully observed the seemingly messy but seemingly regular line of branches, "This is indeed a common marking method used by our veterans of the independent regiment to guide directions or convey information. It shows here that it is heading northwest."

He stood up, his eyes sharp, "Zuo Anjie, take a team and follow the direction of this mark to encircle the tribe. Be careful not to expose your whereabouts. The rest of you follow me, we need to get closer and understand the specific situation of the tribe."

Zuo Anjie nodded, quickly gathered a few team members, and disappeared silently into the jungle. Zhou Lei led the remaining team members, using the terrain and vegetation as cover, and slowly approached the tribal camp.

As the distance shortened, the outline of the tribal camp gradually became clear. Zhou Lei signaled the team members to crawl forward, while he used an infrared telescope to carefully observe the activities in the camp. They noticed that the people in the tribe seemed to be preparing for some kind of ceremony. There was a bonfire burning in the center of the camp, and some strange totems and offerings were placed around it.

"Battalion Commander, it seems we have arrived at the right time." A team member next to him whispered.

Zhou Lei nodded, "Indeed, but we can't act rashly. We need more intelligence to understand their purpose and strength. Pass the order down, everyone stay hidden, don't act rashly, and wait for further instructions."

The team members nodded one after another, knowing that the next action would require more caution and wisdom. Zhou Lei turned his gaze back to the tribe, thinking to himself that this mission might be much more complicated than expected.

When they arrived at the small hill outside the tribe, considering that the Cheetah all-terrain vehicle was a large target, they hid in the forest more than 500 meters away from them, left a few people to guard it, and then everyone got off and started to sneak in on foot.

Except for Captain Kobos, Zhou Lei and his men were all wearing forest camouflage uniforms. From a distance they blended into the forest and were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Zhou Lei's first team followed the marks left by the team, and formed a pincer attack with the second team, moving towards one of the targets.

The third team rushed towards another tribe's camp independently, and formed an outflanking attack with the air team. After discovering several camp targets in Caribou, the air team landed from the air and blocked the north of one of the camps, forming a north-south outflanking attack with the third team coming from the south.

Although it has not yet been confirmed in which camp the hostages are being held, since they have chosen to resolve the issue by force, Zhou Lei and his team are not prepared to let a single militant go.

These kidnappers are powerful but not moral, so only a heavy-handed attack can solve the problem.

Zhou Lei and his colleagues don't want there to be any more lawless tribes like this on this road in the future.

The teams spread out one by one, each about a hundred meters apart, and approached the tribe's camp step by step with the cover of mountains and trees.

The marks left behind seemed to be getting fewer and fewer, but having reached this point, Zhou Lei was no longer worried about losing his target.

The air team ahead had already reported that the tribe's camp was just ahead, so when they arrived at the lair and the tribesmen gathered together, it became more difficult for the hostages' actions to escape their eyes, so there was no chance to leave a mark.

Zhou Lei climbed up to a commanding point on the top of the mountain from one side. After crawling behind a rock and seeing a row of round-roofed thatched houses in the mountain valley, Zhou Lei did not act rashly.

Outside the camp, there were several tribesmen holding rifles wandering around, apparently acting as sentinels. However, these tribesmen clearly did not have much military quality, and they simply directed their men in four directions. There were no open or hidden sentries, nor any checkpoints or bunkers.

It seems that they are used to running away when the situation is not going well, so they built more than a dozen round thatched houses in the mountain valley to shelter from wind and rain.

However, Zhou Lei did not underestimate the enemy. Instead, he took out an infrared telescope and began to search carefully. Soon, he found more than a dozen red dots in the largest thatched hut!
Zhou Lei counted carefully and found that the number was basically consistent with the number of hostages kidnapped.

"Everyone, pay attention. There are suspected hostages in the thatched hut on the right side ahead. In the next action plan, we must first avoid this place. The first team will be responsible for clearing the thatched huts around there, and the second team will be responsible for searching the camp on the left! If there is resistance, kill them directly. Action!" Zhou Lei gave the order without hesitation.

"Captain Kobos, we can't take care of you in the next operation. Please stay here with me." After Zhou Lei gave the order, he turned to Captain Kobos who was following him and said. This place was high above the ground and suitable for remote command. Zhou Lei also brought a sniper rifle, which he placed on a rock to control the dozen or so thatched houses below. If he found anything wrong, he could open fire to provide support in time.

Captain Kobos only had an Enfield rifle and a pistol, which were much weaker than Zhou Lei and his men's automatic firepower. They were certainly of no help in the battle. He could only play his role as a translator after the battle was over.

"No problem, Major, I wish you all the best in the battle." Captain Kobos was obviously a little confused and did not rush to go down and play the hero.

Kobos also followed Zhou Lei's example and hid in the bushes next to the stone, pointing his rifle in the direction of the tribal camp ahead.

At the command, the two teams began to crawl forward, and the few soldiers who advanced in front carefully moved closer to the tribal sentinels.

After a while, these scouts moved to the side of the sentries. They jumped up one by one, grabbed the heads of the tribal sentries and twisted them hard. These tribal armed men died without even a sound.

When the remaining soldiers saw the enemy's sentry being caught, they stood up one by one, crouched down and moved quickly, working in groups of two to cooperate with each other and approaching the thatched hut!
Hong Ming and Tan Zhibo, who were in charge of the largest thatched hut, quickly rushed to the front of the hut. Tan Zhibo asked loudly, "Is it Master Dong inside? If so, please lie down and answer in Chinese whether there are any kidnappers inside!"

"Comrade, we are all from Dongda University. It is safe inside and there are no kidnappers!" As soon as Tan Zhibo finished speaking, a voice of reply came from inside.

"Old Tan, I'll go in and take a look first! You stay on guard." After hearing the answer, Hong Ming said to Tan Zhibo and rushed in!
I saw many Dong people lying on the ground, each of them had his hands and feet tied with straw ropes. No wonder there were no guards here. These people were strung together with straw ropes and tied together to a big rock inside.

"Don't panic, I'm from the rescue team of Dongda. Now calm down, stay where you are, and wait until our troops disarm the tribe before getting up again. Are the hostages here? Have they been taken to another place?" Hong Ming consoled them while holding the gun in his left hand and taking out a dagger in his right hand to start cutting the rope.

"Comrade, we are all brought here. There is no other place. There are about a dozen armed men in the tribal camp outside. We only see rifles and pistols. We don't see any heavy weapons," said a sturdy man with thick eyebrows and big eyes among the hostages. "We are all retired not long ago. This small scene can't scare us. If you don't come, you will directly riot in two or three days after we understand the situation."

"Report, the first team has found and rescued all the hostages. I repeat, the hostages have been completely rescued and everyone is safe! According to the hostages' response, there are about a dozen militants in the camp. Report completed!" Hong Ming's words made the rescue team feel relieved instantly, and they all began to focus on their goals.

After Hong Ming finished reporting the hostage situation, he glanced at the burly man. Sure enough, none of these people looked excited, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary people.

"Who of you made those signs on the road?" Hong Ming asked while cutting the straw rope.

"Danniu, Xiaopu and I left a lot of marks. Did you find this place based on the marks?" said the burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"Not exactly. We found you based on these marks. However, we had another way to discover the tribal camp, otherwise we wouldn't have found you so quickly." Before Hong Ming finished his words, a burst of gunfire was heard outside.

"Comrade, how did you get here so quickly?" the burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes asked curiously, "I have never seen the equipment you are wearing before. Even the special forces didn't have clothes and weapons like yours."

Hong Ming did not expect that these hostages had no fear at all and were in the mood to study their weapons. Their rapid reaction force had a uniform rifle configuration of the new 56 submachine gun with a folding stock and a grenade launcher. The overall shape was very different from the previous 56 submachine gun and was extremely modern.

Type 56 rifle with folding stock

It is somewhat similar to the 81-bar rifle developed later in the main world.

"Raise your hands if you have served in the army." Hong Ming ignored the curiosity of the burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and asked them after cutting the straw ropes of the hostages.

"Comrade, we have all served in the army. My name is Hu Dahai. I retired three years ago. I was in the 3th Army before." The sturdy man with thick eyebrows and big eyes continued Hong Ming's words, "Can you lend me your pistol? I'll go and kill these bastards. Not only do they lock us brothers together, but they also make us take a shit together!"

After hearing this, Hong Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Thinking about them together, this was indeed a bit too much.

It is not very harmful and extremely insulting.

"Oh, you are my old comrade. I am from the 16th Army Rapid Reaction Force." Hong Ming took out the pistol from his waist and handed it to the thick-browed Hu Dahai along with a pack of bullets. "The battalion commander said that no militants should be spared! Old comrade, you and your brothers will stay here first. My comrades and I will go clean up the battlefield first, and then we will pick you up."

Upon hearing that he was a senior, Hong Ming, who had only been in the army for three years, was in awe. He retired three years ago and was a veteran who had fought in the Korean War. With a gun, it should be no problem for him to deal with these tribal militants.

At the top, Zhou Lei was relieved to receive the news that the hostages were safe. "All teams, pay attention, speed up the action, and catch all the militants in one fell swoop!"

After saying that, he saw a tribal armed man rushing out of a thatched hut, raising his gun and preparing to shoot. Without saying a word, Zhou Lei turned the gun around and aimed at his head, decisively shooting him to death!
The action was done in one go, leaving Captain Kobos standing next to him dumbfounded.

This shooting skill is absolutely amazing.

Although the target is only about 300 meters away, Captain Kobos is confident that he can hit the target if he uses a sniper rifle with a scope. However, the key is that Zhou Lei's movements are too smooth, and the whole process probably takes less than 2 seconds!

Kobos had never seen such shooting skills before!
After rescuing the hostages, the team members, without any worries, faced the militants one by one and started killing them. They quickly cleared the camp and took control of the remaining young and middle-aged men. Next, they will be escorted to Harare to be punished as accomplices. For them, a sentence of at least three years is inevitable.

On the other side, the teams that were encircling other camps also accelerated their actions after receiving the news. They showed no mercy to these tribal armed men and had no reason to hold back on these cancers on the road.

A crisis was quickly resolved by the rapid reaction force.
