Chapter 1561: Gaining a Foothold
Before arriving at Tobruk, Zhang Tuohai called Big Beard and told him that the supplies would arrive at the port soon and asked him to bring everyone to prepare to move the supplies.
After receiving the news, Bearded Abu was very happy. He immediately took all the troops to the port to prepare for the arrival of supplies.
After seeing that there were three cargo ships docked at the dock, bearded Abu could hardly stop smiling.
How much supplies can so many ships carry?
It should be no problem to feed the more than a thousand people under him.
The more than 1,000 defenders under his command who had just surrendered were even more delighted.
They haven't had any income for a long time. The previous boss took away all the money and is now sunbathing in a seaside villa in Italy.
Leaving these poor bastards here to eat sand.
They don't accept!
They also want to go abroad and live in a big villa.
If they could seize these ships, their wish would almost come true.
When these people saw the ship approaching the shore, they all moved closer to the side of the ship.
Be prepared to rush on board as soon as the ship docks.
Let’s grab the supplies first.
Bearded Abu was very dissatisfied with the look of these people.
However, his control over these people was limited, and he could only keep shouting at them to exercise some restraint.
But those who understand the quality of ** will understand it.
The bearded man himself was also swept forward by them.
"Is this the mob we have to deal with?"
Yuri looked at the group of people below.
Yuri is the leader of the mercenaries hired by Zhang Tuohai, a Slav with a standard bald head.
The muscle lines on the face make one look "friendly and approachable".
"They are just a bunch of rioters entrenched in a small city. They are nothing. The real focus is on Benghazi."
Zhang Tuohai pointed to the west.
Tobruk is just a small city in the easternmost part of Libya, and those who live here are the scum who can't make it in other places.
Benghazi is the second largest city in Libya, an important port with complete facilities, and it also controls a portion of the oil production. Those who can survive here are naturally not ordinary organizations. It is said that they are all former government forces, with the size of two brigades.
The little caliph set his target as Benghazi.
Only by taking Benghazi can we prove our value and qualify for the next investment.
Otherwise, you might be buried in the yellow sand.
"This is your test battle. I'll set a goal for you: no more than 100 people on your side will die. If you can do that, your bonus will be doubled."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"One hundred? It's a bit difficult, but I like it."
Yuri licked his lips and smiled.
"Brothers, get ready to work."
Yuri called out loudly.
Under the organization of the mercenaries, the refugees prepared themselves in battle formation.
Everyone was breathing heavily.
They knew that today's battle would determine their future lives.
They have no choice but to treat it with caution.
A moment later, the ship docked at the pier.
The gangway has been erected.
The ** under the boat are about to rush onto the boat.
However, hundreds of refugees armed with AKs suddenly and started firing at the area below.
Those ** were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
A large number of them fell to the ground.
Those professional mercenaries were even more sinister. They wore ordinary clothes and blended in with the civilians. From time to time, they would take out a grenade and throw it towards crowded places.
It will explode into a large area once it is fried.
A few grenades can take out a dozen people.
Although many people cannot be killed by the explosion, it is enough to make the enemy lose their ability to resist.
As soon as the two sides met, hundreds of the ** below were knocked down.
Although many people were only injured and not killed, in this situation, there is no difference between injury and death.
The ** below saw this situation and knew that something was wrong, so they began to retreat and try to counterattack.
However, it would take time for them to retreat and create some distance if they gathered together.
Plus, they were below us, so if we wanted to fight back we would have to raise our heads and shoot.
Attacking from the bottom up is inherently more difficult.
In addition, by the time they recovered to the point where they could fight back, less than one-tenth of them were left.
The remaining people are not elite warriors who have experienced many battles, they are just a bunch of greedy people who like to take bribes.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to such a remote city.
Having suffered such heavy losses, his first thought was to escape.
Many of them were knocked down immediately.
Only a few dozen raised their guns and started fighting back.
Any normal person can imagine what the outcome would be if dozens of people were shooting at thousands of people.
These remaining soldiers were quickly killed.
However, the refugees also suffered some losses.
Because the training time was too short and it was their first time on the battlefield, many people had a blank mind.
Many combat rules have been forgotten.
Just pull the trigger.
He didn't even notice that he had run out of bullets, and the empty chamber made a clicking sound.
Some people failed to find a good hiding place and were killed or injured by stray bullets.
The mercenary leader quickly organized people to rescue the wounded, clean up the battlefield, and count the casualties.
The final statistics showed that 89 refugee recruits died and 122 were injured, including 12 seriously injured and 110 slightly injured.
The surprise attack with an absolute advantage in military force and the result was unintentional, which is not a good look at all.
However, considering that these are a group of refugees who have just been recruited three days ago, it seems that this can be forgiven.
At least Zhang Tuohai was very satisfied.
He resolved the first crisis and then captured territory in Libya.
One step closer to the assessment target.
"Clean up the battlefield, collect the bodies, bury all the bodies in the cemetery, transport all the supplies to the shore, and move towards the mayor's residence."
Under Zhang Tuohai's order, everyone buried all the bodies in the cemetery and arrived at the mayor's residence.
After arriving at the mayor's residence, Zhang Tuohai had a table brought in and stood on it and spoke loudly.
"It is your efforts that have allowed us to stand here. Here, I declare an order that the families of all those who died in the war will not only receive pensions, but also get stable jobs. Their children will also receive the education they deserve, and I will raise them until they grow up."
"Not only those who died in battle today will be treated this way, but all those who die in battle in the future will be treated this way!"
"Not only those who died in battle, but also those who were wounded will receive injury allowances and subsidies."
"After you recover from your injuries, if you are willing to continue serving, I welcome you with open arms. If you don't want to serve, I will arrange a job for you. If you are seriously injured and unable to work, I can support you financially!"
"Since you are willing to follow me out, I will be responsible for you till the end!"
The people below were stunned when they heard Zhang Tuohai's words.
In the refugee camp, they are just consumables.
Even if they were drafted to become soldiers, they would just be filler babies.
Not to mention compensation for those killed in action, even their bodies cannot be found.
People like Zhang Tuohai, who not only buried the deceased but also took care of the deceased's family, are rare, if not unique.
Instantly, the refugees felt respected as human beings.
Everyone was deeply moved.
Zhang Tuohai's prestige in their hearts reached its peak.
