Chapter 89 (2/2)
”What's the matter?” Ali looked at Fisher stupidly. He knew nothing about military affairs. He wanted to sleep lazily, but he was asked to learn something.
”You should have a lot of tribal friends!”
”Yes, what's the matter?”
”Help me inquire about the movements of the Ottoman contingent. You can use the seized materials. I just want the results!”
”OK, no problem!” Ali nodded. He didn't understand the war, but asking for information was his strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't be responsible for receiving Fisher. As for the cost, the Mauser rifles seized by Fisher were enough to send other Arab tribes!
More than 100 rifles were dropped and soon paid off. A survivor of an Arab tribe who had just been wiped out went directly to the door and said that he didn't want any reward. He just had to follow Fisher for revenge!

Sinai desert
Eight in the morning
An Ottoman contingent has just completed the task of eliminating the guerrillas. The Ottoman soldiers who have been fighting for many days are sleeping quietly in the carriage. They are about to return to the base for a few days of rest. Therefore, their vigilance is greatly reduced and they do not notice that there is a missing section at the rail corner in front of the train.
With a loud noise, the galloping military train finally rushed out of the track, the hooks of the linked carriages were torn apart, and the sections of carriages were like plows and rakes, opening deep trenches in the desert.
”Bang!” Before an Ottoman soldier who struggled to climb out of the carriage got up, there was a blood hole in his chest, and his yellowish military uniform was soon dyed red.
Then came the grand ensemble of various machine guns and rifles, including leenfeld, Ross, Martini Henry, manlixia rifles, Mauser and M95. Hundreds of Bedouin guerrilla soldiers who had been in ambush again raised their weapons, tilted their fire wildly towards those carriages, fired guns for ammunition, pulled bolts and loaded them. This time they came to get the codebook, So you can't leave alive and evidence!
The gunfire lasted ten minutes until the wooden carriage could no longer be broken, and Fisher ordered a ceasefire.
”Keep your eyes wide open. Don't leave a living mouth. Check the battlefield carefully. All the bodies of the dead soldiers are placed here. Don't touch the dead's belongings! Weapons and ammunition are stacked neatly. Team leaders should always pay attention to the number of their team members! ” While loudly instructing his new guerrillas, Fisher pulled open a broken carriage at will.
Weapons, ammunition and some medical supplies are all in the carriage. Unlike the European battlefield where all means have been exhausted, the cruelty of the battlefield in the Middle East is far less than that in Europe. At least these Ottoman contingents do not have boxes of poison gas bombs and incendiary bombs.
After carefully searching all the carriages, Fisher found what he wanted in the officer carriage near the team. A small book in a sealed iron box is the codebook of the Ottoman army. With this, fisher can carry out the next plan!
