Chapter 2681: Child soldier leader

The valley is covered with lush trees and various vines and weeds. The child soldier camp is in the valley covered by the jungle. The camp is simple and shabby, with camouflage nets everywhere. Not only is the outside world not allowed to see the people inside, even the people inside cannot see everything outside. This is a secret camp in a tropical jungle.
The camp is the simple architecture of the African tribe. The setting sun and the mist in the mountains intertwined, rendering the entire camp quite mysterious, with several bonfires burning in the camp. Perhaps it was a whole sheep roasting on the campfire, or it might be other small animals. The meat was scorched by the fire, and the oil dripped down little by little, and it gave off a burst of aroma with the light smoke. Some child soldiers walked slowly back to the camp and started dinner.
Lin Rui crouched on one side of the hillside and slowly lowered the telescope.
The quality of these child soldiers is good, as can be seen from the order of their meals. They are not like a bunch of children at all, they are more like trained fighters. One by one took turns to receive food, and then sat down to eat quietly, no one was making noise, no one was crowded.
Yelena looked worried and whispered in Lin Rui's ear, "It seems that there are at least a hundred of them, but they are quietly like a few people. This discipline and self-restraint are not trained overnight."
"What do you want to say?" Lin Rui turned to look at her.
"I don't like killing people, especially children who have not grown up. But I think it will be difficult to solve the problem without shooting." Yelena whispered, "The risk is too great."
Lin Rui whispered, "I understand, but shooting is definitely not the only choice. I still said that, unless there is no other choice, it is best to avoid the casualties of these child soldiers."
"But they are enemies. We must not be soft-hearted to the enemy. To be soft-hearted to the enemy is cruel to ourselves." Yelena whispered.
"I understand, that's why we are here waiting for the opportunity." Lin Rui raised the binoculars and said, "We have to pinpoint accurately, which one of them is their leader. Controlling their leader can effectively reduce casualties."
"But we are only a dozen people, can we control so many child soldiers?" Crazy Horse was also a little undecided.
"Look at them, they are very disciplined. Since the secret society trains them, the first thing to teach is not combat skills, nor survival skills, but obedience. Let alone an armed organization like the secret society, there is no army in the world. Will not emphasize absolute obedience to soldiers." Lin Rui whispered, "The stricter their discipline, the greater our chance of success."
Yelena turned around reluctantly, she knew that Lin Rui's decision would be difficult to change.
Before the bonfire in the distance, the child soldiers came and went, and it seemed that they couldn't see who was the leader. Until Lin Rui whispered, "Come."
"Which one?" Sausage asked beside Lin Rui.
"Have you seen that little guy?" Lin Rui whispered, "The kid in the turban."
Sausage looked at it and whispered, "How can you be sure it is him?"
"Did you notice the look those children look at him? That look is full of awe, even fanaticism. He is the only one of these children without weapons, but he has been following the other two children. One of them He also carried two guns on his back. Obviously, it was for the kid wearing the headscarf to carry it. Huh, at a young age, there are grades." Lin Rui whispered, "And that kid not only wears the headscarf, but also this The only child in the group who wears shoes."
Sausage looked quickly and found that the black child was wearing a pair of dirty boots on his feet.
"It's the 790 desert boots of the US military." Crazy Horse whispered. "Sure enough."
Lin Rui whispered, "Watch carefully."
The black boy in the distance walked to the rock by the campfire and sat down, and received a portion of food to eat there. The two children beside him also took their food and sat down beside him.
"Hey, do you think he is the leader of this group of child soldiers? But he seems to have the least food, and he waits for the other children to finish eating." Sausage whispered, "It seems that there is no officer treatment. ?"
"This can only show that this kid is not easy. I know that in this difficult environment, knowing how to share the joys and hardships with ordinary soldiers can gain the respect of other children." Lin Rui whispered, "If you don't believe it, continue to watch. You'll know when you go down."
Sure enough, it didn't take long to wait for the black kid in the turban to finish eating. Other children ran over and said something to him, as if they were reporting something to this kid.
Sausage couldn't help but give Lin Rui a thumbs up.
"Staring at this kid to see which shack he enters to rest in. When the time comes, Crazy Horse and I will get in. First subdue him, and then let him order the other children to surrender." Lin Rui whispered.
"Boss, can this be done?" Sergey asked in a low voice.
"Why, do you suspect that we can't even deal with a few children?" Lin Rui asked in a low voice.
"Of course not." Sergey shook his head. "I'm just worried about whether they will follow the rules. You know so many people, and they are all children. If anyone can't help but shoot, you are all over."
"I think other kids will obey this kid's orders." Lin Rui whispered.
Yelena also shook her head, "You are gambling with life, betting that they will listen to that child. But what if they don't?"
"I think it's also a bit dangerous." Sausage whispered. "We have to have a backup plan."
"Then what is your backup plan?" Lin Rui looked at him.
"If they refuse to hand over their guns and surrender, you will take that child and withdraw. We will cover you outside and shoot and kill any child soldiers who are chased out if necessary. I know this will bring some casualties to these child soldiers, but This is the only way to protect you, otherwise if you are trapped inside, the ending will be unpredictable." Sausage whispered.
"Well, if things really get to that point, we will follow yours." Lin Rui said in silence for a while. "But you can't act rashly until I give the order."
"Of course, you are the boss." Sausage shrugged. "If at that point, Yelena covers you remotely, and you are holding the leader of the child soldier to evacuate to that corner, we will try to make a movement in another direction. Attract some of the child soldiers to that direction, and then turn around to cover you. Withdraw."
"I think it works." Crazy Horse nodded.
"Then do it, I will go down with Crazy Horse. Yelena is responsible for the remote cover, and you are here by Sergey to cover our evacuation mission. Of course, that is when necessary." Lin Rui patted Sergey And the shoulder of the sausage, whispered, "It's up to you."
