Mercenary I am the king

Chapter 344 The enemy cannot move, I cannot move

In fact, Colonel James does have the capital to be arrogant.

They are actually the famous "Green Berets", members of the Army Special Forces.

The ODA team he led consisted of 12 officers and soldiers, including senior non-commissioned officers in various professions from combat to communications and medical care.

Since they came to Colombia for a joint training mission, most of the team members are experts in jungle warfare and guerrilla warfare. They were originally instructors who trained Colombian special forces to carry out the Green Peppers anti-government armed forces. Therefore, in James's view, with the cooperation of a large number of Colombian military personnel, catching a mere two desperadoes should be a piece of cake, right?
Just as James led his men into the Colombian government army headquarters, somewhere in the jungle, Morins suddenly heard a sound coming from the cave entrance. He nervously picked up the assault rifle on the ground and pointed the muzzle towards the cave entrance.

"relax."

When Song Heping's voice came, Morins finally breathed a sigh of relief and put down the gun in his hand.

Coming to Morins' side, Song Heping sat down on the ground, then took out a kettle man and threw it to Morins.

"The water has been retrieved."

As he spoke, he took out his kettle, unscrewed the lid and took a sip.

Then he asked, "I asked you to find some fruit. Did you find any?"

"I found a bunch."

As Morins spoke, he picked out two fruits from the corner and handed them to Song Heping.

Song Heping took it in his hand and looked at it. The fruit was the size of a fist and had a hard skin, with a slightly brown tint on the green color.

He had never seen this thing before, so he asked curiously, "Can it be eaten?"

"Yes, it's called avichure. It's an edible wild fruit that tastes pretty good."

After saying that, Morins picked up one, rubbed it on his clothes, bit open the skin to reveal the flesh inside, and began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

Song Heping followed suit and started eating fruit like Morins.

"It tastes good..." Song Heping commented after trying the flesh: "It's a bit sour, but it has a bit of passion fruit flavor."

"When we were little, we often went into the jungle to pick wild fruits to supplement our food in order to fill our stomachs. There was no shortage of edible fruits in the jungle."

Molins was familiar with the jungle in this area.

He was the son of a native farmer.

The jungle was no stranger to him.

As he spoke, he remembered the important matter and asked, "We have been trapped here for two days. When can we leave?"

Song Heping still lowered his head to deal with the avichure fruit, and said nonchalantly: "Just treat it as a camping trip, it won't be that fast."

Molins was stunned.

Calling a life-and-death escape a camping trip?

The Chinese man in front of me has a really big heart.

Seeing that he was silent, Song Heping glanced at Morins and said, "What? Are you feeling desperate?"

Morins lowered his head, took a bite of the fruit, and shook his head.

Song Heping said, "Haven't we scouted the area together these past two days? Everywhere is blocked off, and we can't get out now."

Molins remained silent.

Song Heping didn't care what he thought. After eating the fruit, he came to the cave entrance and peeled off a pile of leaves on the ground, revealing the still warm soil.

That was because he had lit a fire there before, and when it went out, it burned the soil.

He pushed aside the leaves and began to dig the soil with two sticks.

The two people's dinner for that day was buried underneath.

Molins looked at Song Heping with interest.

He could almost conclude that Song Heping must have been in some special forces unit or something like that.

One was his calmness, and the other was that when he lit a fire outside the cave entrance just now, there was no smoke at all.

He saw clearly that it was a strange earthen stove.

It seemed to absorb all the smoke from the fire and prevent it from floating into the air.

This must be a survival skill for special forces, Morins is no fool.

What worried him most now was how they got here. For two days, he and Song Heping had been trying to break through to the camp in the Tbilisi Mountains from the northwest.

But no matter how they took the detour, they always found a military special forces member lying in ambush at a key location.

They have blocked almost all the possible passages here.

Coupled with the reconnaissance helicopters that flew across the sky from time to time, the two men had no chance to escape the encirclement.

Song Heping later found this big tree hole and hid here and never moved again. It seemed that he planned to stay here for a long time.

Song Heping dug out a porcupine buried inside. This was the animal he caught near the cave entrance this morning. After cutting off the skin, removing the quills and internal organs with a knife, he also removed the head, leaving only the body. He picked a few large leaves to wrap it, threw it into the fire, and buried it with soil. It was burned for the whole afternoon.

It should be cooked by now.

Tear open the burnt leaves and the roasted porcupine will roll out.

Song Heping cut it in half with a knife and handed one half to Morins: "Eat it. Only when you fill your stomach can you have the strength to fight them."

"Consume?"

Morins held the still warm porcupine and seemed to understand Song Heping's intention.

"Are you planning to waste time with them here?"

Song Heping asked back: "What else? What do you think we should do?"

As he spoke, he began to tear the flesh off the porcupine and stuff it into his mouth.

"I……"

Morins was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, he had no idea.

Although he has always commanded the armed group ELN, there is really no better way in the current situation.

Their helicopters are flying in the sky. Even if you have the courage to break through the stronghold of a passage guarded by others, as soon as the gun is fired, the helicopter will probably arrive within half an hour, and you will not be able to escape the enemy's tracking.

Even though he had extensive experience in jungle warfare, he couldn't think of any good solution when faced with this desperate situation.

Song Heping looked at his constipated appearance and couldn't help but said, "Don't panic, haven't you seen it yet?"

"What do you see?" Molins asked gloomily as he tore the good pork. "Are you talking about the government army?"

"Yes." Song Heping said, "It's been two days. Have you noticed one thing? They haven't sent out a search team at all. We haven't found any search personnel. They have been patrolling and monitoring in fixed places for the past two days. It seems that they have no interest in searching for us at all."

Molins said, "So what? Are you going to stay here with them for months because of this? Wait until they leave?"

Song Heping said, "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either. We actually have the advantage of time. Don't you understand?"

Morins shook his head: "I don't understand."

Song Heping said, "What's our biggest disadvantage? It's not that there are only two of us, but that no one knows we're here. Do you think the government forces want to drag this out? I don't think they want to drag it out too long. The longer it goes on, the more likely it is that news of our survival will leak out. Based on your understanding of your men, do you think they will find a way to rescue us?"

"Of course!"

Molins was quite sure.

"The ELN's top brass are loyal to me. They will definitely organize all their forces to attack other places. They might kidnap some officials and use them in exchange for government forces, or put pressure on them to abandon their campaign against us."

"Aren't you afraid that they will seize power? Ignore you?" Song Heping asked.

Morins smiled and said, "No, our armed group's organizational structure is different. The leader is more like a symbol of leadership. In fact, the leaders of the local resistance organizations below have considerable power and a high degree of freedom. As long as they don't violate our group's charter and regulations, I won't interfere. What's the point of them seizing power? For money?"

"Why not?" Song Heping said, "Didn't Laqi sell you out for money?"

Morris said, "It's different. We are a left-wing organization, an armed group fighting for the rights of migrant workers. Although we may kidnap wealthy people and extort oil companies for funding, if we use the money for our own enjoyment, we will lose our stance and original intention. Then the farmers will definitely no longer protect us, and the entire armed group will collapse. Do you think the ELN would survive today without the support of the farmers here?"

After a pause, he continued, "What's more, those who want to get rich won't choose to join our armed groups. It would be much better to join the AUC. They specialize in serving the landlord class and have many ties to the government army and the government."

"That's good," Song Heping said. "Then the government special forces besieging us won't be able to hold out for long. They'll definitely start sending out teams to search for us, squeezing us from the outside in. Once they move, the encirclement will surely reveal a flaw. That's when we'll have the chance to break out."

Molins asked, "Which route are you going to take?"

Song Heping said, "It's redundant to say all this now. I don't know where we should go. Tactics are never static. Let's go to the encirclement tomorrow morning to see if they make any moves."
