The straight-line distance is only 80 kilometers. If you fly a plane, even a slow small plane can arrive in half an hour at most, but if you drive, the straight-line distance is only 80 kilometers and you can go around 200 kilometers.
There is no road. From time to time, they still need to go through the forest. Starting from the morning, they go around for six hours, and then they go half the distance.
In the case of pure off-road, taking a car is very tiring. After they finally couldn't stand it, Gao Yang stopped the car and prepared to eat and have a rest.
As soon as the car stopped, Jason immediately took his AKM and said to Gao Yang, "I have to wipe the gun. Do you have gun oil?"
Gao Yang shook his head and said, "No."
Jason frowned and said, "what can I do? The gun is too dirty. It can't be cleaned without gun oil. I don't want to use a rifle that can explode at any time. No, I can't accept this. This test my courage."
Gun cleaning oil is highly corrosive. It's impossible to replace gun cleaning oil with lubricating oil. After shooting bullets, there will be residues left by propellant in the barrel. Once there are many bullets, it's difficult to get rid of the residues by wiping them with cloth. It can only be cleaned by penetrating gun cleaning oil into the residues. Therefore, as long as it is a more regular army, It is very diligent to clean the guns, and the American guns and European guns with higher accuracy, such as M16, M4 and HK guns, have to be cleaned more frequently. Otherwise, it is a small matter to affect the accuracy. If not, it will explode the bore.
While Gao Yang and Jason were at a loss, bantuna quietly took out a small bottle from his body and said, "try to save some use."
Jason said happily, "I'm just asking. I didn't expect you to take this with you."
Bantuna said expressionless, "in Africa, if someone gives you a rifle, you'd better check it before shooting, so as not to be blind or die directly. I take gun oil with me because when I have to use the rifle I found, I can wipe the gun first."
Gao Yang also said with a smile: "my experience is that no one cleans the gun in Africa. Why AK is popular here is just that AK is more resistant to dirt. No matter what the regular army or people here, they don't seem to have the habit of cleaning the gun. Americans have also put a lot of AR gun families here, but those guns will blow up soon, so they can't be seen."
Bantuna interface said: "so others bring more guns, and I choose to bring a bottle of gun cleaning oil. AK rifles are everywhere, but gun cleaning oil is hard to find, and I don't want to use an AK rifle that has never been cleaned."
Gao Yang understands and appreciates Jason's attitude towards guns. To treat a gun that needs to be taken to the battlefield, careful maintenance and care is the attitude that a soldier should have.
Gao Yang is willing to give Jason enough time to clean the gun, break up the AKM and completely decompose it into parts. After Jason applies gun cleaning oil to every part that needs to be cleaned, and then starts eating, he can start cleaning the gun.
In order to save time, Gao Yang and bantuna helped Jason clean the gun together, but a gun that has been used for many years but has not been cleaned can not only make people wonder why it has not been blasted, but also test people's patience.
It took three people an hour to clean the gun. Because the residue on the gun was too thick and stubborn, they could only apply gun oil again and again. After a while, they tried to remove the residue of propellant again and again. This is like a person who hasn't taken a bath in 20 years. It's impossible to wash it with soap in 10 minutes.
After three people spent an hour and used up a bottle of gun oil, Jason's folding tray AKM couldn't be wiped very clean, but it was acceptable at last.
Not only to clean the gun, but also to check the magazine. Jason took the magazine and said, "I'm unfamiliar with AK rifle. Help me see how the quality of the magazine is."
After seeing a total of eight magazines, bantuna directly threw the two magazines aside and said, "I never use this kind of magazine. The supply of ammunition is very unreliable."
Bantuna took away two plastic magazines. After a long time of use, the plastic magazines are really unreliable, while the steel magazines are much more reliable, but they need to be made from large factories. There are too many places where AK rifles and magazines can be imitated. They can be produced in a small workshop, and the imitations fly all over the sky. Therefore, if AK rifles are to be used, they have to be able to distinguish between true and false.
After looking at several magazines, they are all good. They are not iron goods that can be flattened by hand, but Gao Yang reminded Jason: "withdraw all the bullets in the magazine and see how many bullets are. AK magazine should only press 25 bullets. If it is full, there may be problems. God knows how many years these magazines have been used."
Withdraw all the bullets from the magazine, try the strength of the magazine by hand, pick out a magazine whose spring is basically inelastic again, and Jason has only five magazines available. Moreover, he checked the bullets one by one again, and threw away all the bullets without words, printed in Arabic and rusty, Jason has only 200 bullets left.
Seeing that at least half of the bullets were discarded, Jason said helplessly: "well, I thought the AK rifle was the best rifle on the planet, but now it seems that this is not the case."
Bantuna said disdainfully, "boy, this is Africa. You have to learn a lot to use AK well in this damn place."
Gao Yang also smiled: "AK is really easy to use, but you have to have a pair of eyes to distinguish between true and false. When you encounter AK made by family workshops or some bullets that always don't ring, you have to be able to pick them out. Otherwise, you will suffer. In a word, if you want to use a good AK that can be used, you have to have experience, especially in Africa. Well, assemble the gun. We should Let's go. "
When Jason packed up his rifle, Gao Yang and them set out again. Wiping the gun took a lot of time, but Gao Yang thought it was very worth it. He didn't want to have problems with the gun in his comrades' hands during the battle. Besides, wiping the gun was also a rest process for him.
Continue to move forward, Gao Yang's travel speed is slightly faster, because there are fewer forests to pass through on the road, and there are more grasslands to move forward quickly. Even if they need to detour, the distance to detour is much shorter.
At almost four o'clock in the afternoon, Jason shouted with his GPS: "it's less than six kilometers from the marked post. It's time for us to get off."
The GPS marks the outpost that Gao Yang found when searching in the air. After driving into a forest, they found a place with dense vegetation and got off the bus. After they moved everything they wanted to bring out of the car, Gao Yang pushed the car into a bush, then covered the car with some branches and hid the car.
After marking the location of the hidden car on the GPS, looking at Jason who opened the box and played with it, he said in a loud and deep voice, "what are you going to bring?"
Jason took out a remote control, a four rotor micro helicopter, a small looking camera and a careful display screen that was only palm size, like a mobile phone, and said in a deep voice: "With these, we can carry out the lowest level of air reconnaissance. The maximum reconnaissance distance can reach 3000 meters. If we can reach one kilometer in the dense forest, it will exceed the controllable distance. If we can get a military reconnaissance UAV, it will be good. Under good conditions, the reconnaissance distance can reach ten kilometers."
Gao Yang doesn't know much about drones. Although Jason takes out things like toys, these gadgets can play a key role in some times, especially for Tommy. If there is UAV cooperation, he can enter non-contact and artillery without visual observation.
After putting the flight detection equipment into a special backpack, Jason picked up his flight equipment, and then brought a photography bag with borrowed infrared cameras. However, Jason seemed to have some difficulty in moving.
Get everything ready, Gao Yang looked at his watch and said, "there's still enough time to investigate quickly. If the person I'm looking for is not nearby, we can come back before dark."
After that, Gao Yang looked at bantuna and said, "top soldier, let's go."
Bantuna took the gun in his hand and pulled the gun to load the bullet.
Gao Yang's habit is to pull the gun only after seeing the enemy, so when he saw bantuna's action, he was puzzled and said, "do you need to load the bullet so early? Be careful of misfire."
Bantuna shook his head and said, "in the jungle, always be ready to shoot at any time. This is my principle."
Bantuna then began to move forward. After thinking about it, Gao Yang also loaded his pistol and used a 1911 in the jungle. It is indeed better to be ready for launch in advance.
Bantuna walked fast and Gao Yang followed easily, but Jason had a little difficulty. He carried a lot of things, and he was not very adapted to marching in the jungle, but Jason could keep up. Although he worked hard, he was not left behind by Gao Yang and bantuna.
The progress was very smooth. With getting closer to the post, bantuna's speed gradually slowed down. Finally, when the trees were getting thinner and thinner, bantuna stopped, raised a fist to Gao Yang, and then said to Gao Yang, "I see that post."
Gao Yang came to bantuna. They had reached the edge of the forest. A little further on, there was a grassland. Looking in the direction of bantuna, they could see a wooden house among the trees.
Gao Yang walked forward a few steps. After finding a place with a wider field of vision, he raised his telescope and observed it for a moment. He said in a deep voice: "there are people outside. They all have guns and look very nervous. This may be a signal. I have to find out if there are any traces I need to find nearby. So, start working."
