In the Khartoum Palace, Moha III and Li Danik, who were in charge of logistics, had been busy for the past few days. The domestic economy had completely regressed, and economic exchanges had only been suspended for about a week. The whole of Khartoum was like a refugee camp, with homeless people everywhere.
Because there was no food sales, Khartoum was distributing supplies everywhere to maintain basic social stability. Along with Moha III and Lee Danik, Omar was busy with the frontlines. The volunteer army's large-scale assault was like a tidal wave, pushing the entire frontline to Khartoum.
In order to deal with this large-scale invasion, all the southern troops had been blocked at the frontline. A series of battles broke out, and the entire border of Khartoum was at war. There were more than 80 reports of battle every day. Man Johnson was indeed a war genius. He knew that the volunteer army couldn't beat the southern troops in a frontal battle.
He simply pulled the southern troops apart, using the advantage of the volunteer army's numbers to disperse and restrain the enemy. Omar was in the Khartoum Palace, flustered and exasperated. Because of Jiang Cheng, the southern troops were weak. If Man Johnson found out, he would gather his troops and attack, and Khartoum would fall.
"What? You still haven't found Jiang Cheng? What the hell are you doing? He only has a few people. Where can he go in the vast Khartoum Desert? Find him! We must find Jiang Cheng! "Omar slammed the table angrily. The six military counselors in front of him didn't dare to speak.
One of them calmly explained, "Sir, it's because he only has a few people that the search has become more difficult. We've sent more people to search the entire Khartoum Desert. We still haven't found any trace of them. "
After the man finished speaking, Omar suddenly looked over coldly, causing the officer to tremble in fear. Omar sneered and suddenly took out a gun from his waist. With a sneer, he walked step by step towards the officer.
He pointed the gun at the badge on the officer's chest.
"You mean you can't find him?" Omar's voice was cold as he pointed the gun at the officer's chest. Seeing this, the officer trembled all over, not daring to say a word. At this time, Omar removed the safety and continued to snort coldly, "Let me ask you, did you just say that you can't find Jiang Cheng?"
Hearing the safety pin being undone with a click, the officer immediately trembled in fear. His legs went soft and he knelt down. He raised his head, trembling, and looked at Omar. Omar moved the muzzle to his head and said, "If I can't find it, I'll shoot you!"
When the fat officer heard this, he was so frightened that he almost went limp. None of the colleagues around him dared to plead for him. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to speak. At this moment, Omar kept his gun. His gaze was very cold. He now valued Jiang Cheng more than before.
Yesterday, before the battle began, Man Johnson had sent a telegram to Omar. While announcing the official start of the battle, he also made a request: Hand over Jiang Cheng. It was obvious that Man Johnson and Jiang Cheng had a close relationship. How could they fight such a big battle for such a person?
Omar firmly believed that as long as he captured Jiang Cheng, he could use him as a hostage at a critical moment. That would definitely make Man Johnson take a step back. Using Jiang Cheng in exchange for an important opportunity was very important to Omar.
What the Southern Army needed now was time. The fleet that had gone out to sea was already rushing back, but it would still take two days. If Man Johnson ordered a counterattack within these two days, then Khartoum would lose its last glimmer of hope.
Therefore, Jiang Cheng was Omar's only hope. For this hope, he had assigned an entire battalion to search for Jiang Cheng. Now, the entire Khartoum Desert was filled with people searching for him. As long as Jiang Cheng's troops showed any signs of movement, they would definitely face endless pursuit!
In the Khartoum Desert, the sky was just beginning to brighten. In the abandoned fortifications, the soldiers of the Dragon Group were already lying down in exhaustion. They were now less than 20 kilometers away from Egypt, but they still needed one more night and at least two hours to get there.
After a night of running, the soldiers' stamina had reached their limits. They had to rest now. Otherwise, any wave of the Southern Army's reconnaissance troops would be enough to take the lives of Jiang Cheng and his men. At this time, Jiang Cheng was hiding in the abandoned fortifications. His eyes were still wide open.
The two medics leaned against the wall and fell into a deep sleep. They were the two who had the hardest work out of all the soldiers. They had spent the whole day yesterday guarding Max and had to join the long-distance attack at night. Now that it was morning, they had already reached their limits.
In order to not let the two medics get tired, Jiang Cheng had personally watched over Max. At this time, Max was lying on a makeshift stretcher. He had been asleep for a day and a night. His breathing was a little rapid, and his forehead was a little hot. Due to some dehydration, the corners of his mouth were also very dry.
Since last night, Max had some signs of fever. Obviously, his wound was infected. The two medics had already injected Max with anti-inflammatory drugs and changed the dressing on his wound. But this was obviously not enough. Max had injured his internal organs. The infection of his internal organs was much faster than expected.
Jiang Cheng leaned against the wall and looked calmly at the distant skyline. The sunrise in the desert was much more beautiful than usual. The sun was like a flame that rose from the ground and slowly rose into the sky. Jiang Cheng stared at the sunrise and suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Buzz buzz buzz …" He furrowed his brows as his sharp ears caught a restless sound. Jiang Cheng suddenly stood up, picked up the binoculars in his hands, and looked in the direction of the sound. A small black dot appeared in the sunrise. Jiang Cheng immediately stood up and shouted, "Assemble!"
With this order, all the soldiers who were still asleep immediately got up. They quickly gathered into a team and hadn't even started to report their numbers. Jiang Cheng had already shouted, "It's too late. Immediately cover up the one-on-one camouflage. The remaining half, enter the bunker and prepare for battle. "
After that, the soldiers quickly divided into one-on-one groups and camouflaged one of their comrades. The other half, fifteen people, entered the shadows of the abandoned fortifications and were ready for battle at any time. Because the bunker of the fortifications this time was a little big, it was enough to hide about twenty people. Jiang Cheng had expected that there would be helicopters coming to search.
But he didn't expect that there would already be helicopters searching when the sky was just starting to brighten. At this time, Feldman moved to Jiang Cheng's side and said in a low voice, "Director Jiang, the other party seems to have increased the intensity of the search. What should we do now?" Feldman looked worried and kept looking at the sky.
Jiang Cheng was also a little annoyed. This intensive search was not only a kind of fatigue to the troops, but also a kind of test. Once they were discovered, it would definitely lead to a disaster. In this case, it was not good for the troops to leave or stay.
At this time, the sound of the helicopter slowly approached the abandoned fortifications. Because it was rare to see such a large abandoned fortification, the helicopter stayed above for a short time, hovering in the air like a falcon. After waiting for a long time, it finally flew away again.
When the buzzing sound of the helicopter disappeared, Jiang Cheng turned over and got all the hidden soldiers to stand up. At this time, the eyes of the soldiers looking at Long Xing were bloodshot, and they looked quite tired. Jiang Cheng furrowed his brows. How should he make a decision? This was a very serious problem.
"Feldman, bring the map over," Jiang Cheng said calmly, and Feldman took the map. Jiang Cheng looked carefully and judged the distance to Egypt. In a straight line, it was less than 20 kilometers. If they traveled 20 kilometers without any equipment, it would take less than an hour.
If Jiang Cheng took a small group of people to carry out a surprise attack alone, they should be able to reach Egypt within an hour. Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng's expression became cold. He looked around at the tired soldiers. What the Long Xing troops needed now was rest.
This abandoned fortification had enough space for the soldiers to take turns to rest. Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and said to Feldman, "Feldman, do you still have physical strength?" Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Feldman immediately nodded and replied, "I'm fine, Director Jiang."
Jiang Cheng nodded heavily and said, "Feldman. We must split into small groups and carry out another surprise attack. There is no time for us to hesitate. Now the troops have strengthened the search force around them. In other words, we can't move an inch during the day. We must give the other soldiers some time to catch their breath. "
When Jiang Cheng said this, Feldman immediately became alert. He puffed out his chest and said, "Director Jiang, let me go. I will take a few of my best comrades with me. Once we reach Egypt, we will immediately request for reinforcements. You can rest assured and wait for our reinforcements here. "
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "No, I can't let you go alone. There are too many conditions and factors in a desert battle. Although your combat quality is high enough, if you encounter an emergency, you still need me to face it. Get a few soldiers to pack up and attack with me! "
After Jiang Cheng said this, Feldman showed a hesitant expression and said, "Director Jiang, but you were already so tired last night. Now you still have to carry out a long-distance attack …" Before Feldman could finish, Jiang Cheng said in a cold voice, "This is a military order. Feldman, you only need to carry it out!"
