Chapter 1703 no hope
After nearly fifteen minutes of smoke, Buck was completely powerless? He let go of the rifle in his hand, and fell to the fire that was about to rush down. He rolled several times in a row, not only to destroy the flames on his body, but also to relieve the force. However, the left shoulder hit a brick and other things again, and instantly hurt Buck almost left his body!
But he still didn't dare to make any sound, insisted on stumble and stood up, identifying his position slightly, and hitting out of the window in the opposite direction of the convoy leaving!
With the impact of the window frame, he fell heavily to the ground again. Buck only felt the weight of the bag in his hand and immediately turned to a ditch that was almost two meters wide next to him!
The flames on his body were finally extinguished!
I reached out and grabbed the cement gap next to me, floated my body on the water as much as possible, and pulled off the Arabian turban on my mouth and nose with difficulty. My eyes were so painful that it was almost like being sprayed with pepper water. My tears were so scattered, but after all, I survived. The most dangerous thing among fireworks is not necessarily the fire head, it is smoke, and the death rate is even higher than that of directly burning.
It took nearly half an hour to float, and Buck, who was almost exhausted, slowly climbed ashore and lay weakly next to his bag. Looking at the dazzling sunlight, he could feel smoke all over his body. Well, it should be steamed by the sun.
I slowly climbed to the corner of the building and saw it secretly. Without any figure, I breathed a sigh of relief, but decided to find another building and hide in it immediately. What if there is anyone who comes to pay tribute to the monument of the martyrs?
The pile of corpse fire was still burning. Buck curled up and climbed into another house far away from here. He no longer had the energy to climb the attic. As a result, he had to find a piece of caffeine-containing gum to chew it slowly, and then he felt the little replies of his body's strength.
He lay down all day, until the night slowly fell, and Buck didn't stand up again, but his left shoulder was bandaged with a self-adhesive bandage. Try not to do big moves as much as possible. It should be that the ligaments of the scapula were hurt. There is no shortcut for this kind of injury except for resting.
The gun was gone, and the several houses connected together finally collapsed, with only a wild dog swaying around the ruins. In the past, Buck only saw a burned and deformed rifle in the ashes. Now... try to get close to Reka City.
Fortunately, there is no other discomfort except for the shoulders, and there is no problem replenishing energy and drinking water. Buck, who carried a bag on one shoulder, re-loaded the road in the night. There is still about ten kilometers left to reach the city. Buck, who has reported his accurate coordinates, got a reminder from his wife: "The outer edge of the main urban area is about two kilometers as the radiation distance. There is a circle of satellite residential areas, the size of hundreds of households. According to the collected information, since the IS army heated up two years ago.
After Kazakhstan was established as the capital, the residential areas were almost gone, that is, the main force of Syrian refugees, and the main urban area was the main area controlled by the IS army. There may be about 30,000 people in the city now. The city was originally less than 100,000. According to international intelligence, there are about 3,000 IS army in Rekastan. Now their main force should still be in Mosul, Iraq. The spiritual leader of the IS army is said to be there."
Buck was thinking while walking: "It's said that this is the capital, but the focus is no longer here... The membership meeting may not be held here. I'll go over and see the situation. After learning the first-hand information, I'll consider withdrawing from Syria, returning to Dudka and others, entering from the Kurdish area in Iraq, and going close to Mosul."
Xiang Wan had no grudges at all: "Gulisa has already feedback the information. She met Dudeka and the others. She heard that you went to Syria alone and said you wanted you to contact her..."
Buck said hushed, and the outline of the building was already seen before. After listening to his wife's advice to pay attention to safety, he hung up the phone.
At noon, Xiang Wan sent a message, which was said to be an air strike jointly by many NATO air forces. It aims to test the linkage capabilities of various countries and eliminate the IS army's vitality, including the suburban oil refinery in Reka City...
There was a light command on that side, and this was the hell on earth.
Buck smiled bitterly.
Near the urban area, the buildings are basically made of stone, and there are few houses with more than three floors. Therefore, hundreds of households in China may be able to solve the problem of a house. They are spread out here, just like egg pancakes. The entire residential area is dark, but it is as quiet as a ghost town.
Buck approached a house on the edge and found a ladder on the roof. He opened his own thermal imaging lens at this higher angle. In addition to the slightly warm color, the heat of the stone that was exposed to the sun had not yet dissipated, and only two live yellow and white blocks were found!
After observing quietly for a while, I finally found that it should be two dogs!
This made Buck feel a little relieved. He quickly walked through the entire residential area without too much cover. Then when he walked out from the other end of two or three hundred meters away, he was the capital of the IS army through about one or two kilometers of crop green space.
It is said that it is the capital, with a scale of thousands of people, and there is no guarding a city on the outside. Buck thinks it is really outrageous.
Buck, who was waisting, basically moved along the low ridges and ridges. The dense bushes separated by the fields helped him a lot. He also picked up a wooden stick that he thought was very good as a crutch. From time to time, he used a thermal sensing lens to check the surrounding situation. Finally, he walked into the city quietly in more than ten minutes. As expected, he was almost the same as the angle that Xiang Wan guided him. Just as he had just turned along a row of walls, a huge sheet-shaped building stood in the middle of a huge open space in the middle of a huge open space, which was 160 meters wide, but only more than ten meters thick and twenty-seven floors high!
A hotel built by China more than ten years ago!
Originally the best hotel in Syria's sixth largest city.
Xiang Wan found all the original information about this building, which is the tallest building in the city. Originally, Xiang Wan reminded Buck that this large building might be regarded as an important location by the IS army and could be avoided appropriately, but Buck chose to come here.
For nothing else, along the way, apart from the vague side profile of the tall building, there was no light on this building that looked like a flat-screen TV!
It's so dark that it makes people feel thirsty!
In fact, for urban areas surrounded by one or two low residential buildings, such a building stands out from the crowd is not the best tactical choice. People with a little battlefield experience, especially those who are familiar with NATO's practices, will think that such a building will definitely become a landmark for air strikes. If a large number of militants are found to be gathered in such a building during satellite reconnaissance and NATO's popular drone exploration, they will soon be named by cruise missiles.
So Buck felt that the IS army, which has been through the battlefield for a long time, should not choose such a building. Moreover, for a city where water and electricity have been cut off, the survival of such high-rise buildings will be inconvenient. At least the Eastern European local buns he understood are not very keen on going to the buildings in the city.
After using the thermal imaging lens to check it out once, there was no heat source. After Buck fixed his backpack better again, drank some water to adjust his breath, held a wooden stick in front of him, and began to crawl towards the building!
The closer you get to the goal, the less you are, the more you are not impatient. Even if you are slower, saving your life is the first factor!
With a straight line distance of more than 200 meters, you can understand how wide the green area and parking lots around the hotel building are. Buck met several abandoned cars in the middle. He leaned on it and felt rust when he touched it. These extreme organizations with only destructive power but no productivity are really like locusts, and wherever he goes, he is covered in wildness.
It was almost comparable to the previous two or three kilometers of walking. Buck climbed for more than half an hour and finally arrived at the building.
Upstairs, you can overlook the buildings of most of the city. This may be the last place he went to the northwest corner of the city. After staying for a day or two to observe carefully, he could evacuate.
Barker didn't have much hope for the city.
