Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 2160

The noodles lived up to their reputation.

Faced with the ultimatum of the Indian Ocean Fleet, the Italians did not even last three hours before declaring Mogadishu an undefended city.

This is not surrender.

Just announced that Mogadishu is not fortified, and the Italian East African colonial government will continue to fight.

The handsome Prince Savoy did not expect the Indian Ocean Fleet to come so quickly.

When Mogadishu announced that it was not fortified, Prince Savoy left Mogadishu in an armored vehicle and did not live and die with the city.

Before the convoy left Mogadishu, it was targeted by the Southern African Air Force.

Interestingly, the armored vehicle that Prince Savoy was riding in was actually a foreign trade "Alligator" armored vehicle produced in southern Africa.

As soon as the armored convoy was discovered, the second lieutenant Yan Yan from the 15th Air Force sent a message to the "Nyasaland" aircraft carrier, asking if it was possible to attack the armored convoy.

The attack order was issued quickly.

Grim made an attack gesture to his wingman and began to dive towards the convoy.

The "Goshawk" can also attack the ground. The 20mm aviation cannon can easily penetrate the protective armor of the "Alligator".

dong dong dong-

The sound of the 20mm machine gun is deep and thick. The bullets are composed of armor-piercing bombs, incendiary bombs, and tracer bombs. Experienced pilots do not need the guidance of tracer bombs, which can avoid premature exposure and catch enemy pilots off guard.

Yan Yan has rich experience. The armored vehicle at the front of the convoy was directly blown up by short bursts, and the ammunition in the car exploded, like a huge and expensive firework. Stern but unhappy.

Armored vehicles aren't planes and don't give a star to austere planes, and fighter jets attacking ground targets are a bit ineffective.

The efficiency of the fleet is very high, and soon there will be more professional "Sea Harriers" for ground attack to support them.

"Sea Harrier" has been killing madly. After fighting the destroyer and bombing the airport, now there is a new attack target.

When "Sea Harrier" didn't come, Yan Yan could still drink some soup.

"Sea Harrier" played, and "Goshawk" completely lost the opportunity to perform.

Yan Yan was not the saddest, but his wingman was sad, and he didn't even have a chance to fire. This made Bruce from Rhodesia very unwilling.

There is no way to be reconciled.

The machine gun installed on the "Alligator" can shoot into the air. Although the caliber is only 12.7 mm, it has a certain air defense capability against fighters with weak defenses.

The Italians really can't do it. Of the dozen or so "Alligator" armored vehicles, only one fired into the air after the battle broke out. , the crew scattered.

The Italians are not stupid. They know that armored vehicles have larger targets and are more vulnerable to air strikes.

The Italians are really good at saving their lives.

The Prince of Savoy was out of luck.

The armored command vehicle he was riding in was the focus of care. The pilots in southern Africa were very familiar with the model of the "Alligator" armored vehicle. They knew that the armored command vehicle was sitting in a big man, and they did not attack the armored command vehicle.

The first time the fighting broke out, the armored vehicle in which the Prince of Savoy was traveling tried to escape.

The narrow streets of Mogadishu became the biggest obstacle for Prince Savoy to escape. The armored command vehicle could not even turn around, so Prince Savoy abandoned the car and fled.

At this time, the helicopter had already taken off, and the Marines with live ammunition were ready to attack.

Before the war broke out, the equipment of the Southern African National Defense Force was upgraded again. Ordinary soldiers still used Nyasaland rifles, and the weapons used by the squad leader, deputy squad leader and sergeant major were replaced by the Type 40 assault rifles that had just been installed in the troops.

In 1918, the Germans H. Smerser and Bergman designed the MP18 submachine gun, which was improved and named the Bergman MP18 submachine gun. It was equipped with the German army and became the first submachine gun equipped in large quantities in the world.

Southern Africa is rich and powerful, and has always attached great importance to the development of individual weapons.

With the extensive use of automobiles, army logistics is no longer the main reason for restricting the development of individual weapons, and submachine guns are naturally on the agenda.

Compared with rifles, the biggest problem with submachine guns is the lack of reliability, and the power of submachine guns is not enough due to the firing of pistol bullets. Submachine guns are indeed powerful when shooting at close range, but at medium and long distances, the power of submachine guns will be seriously affected. With an assault rifle.

The Type 40 assault rifle uses 5.56mm intermediate ammunition with an effective range of 400 meters and a capacity of 30 rounds. It has high reliability and can adapt to various combat environments. The key is to use a large number of stamping parts, which are low in cost and easy to quickly deploy troops.

Considering the combat environment of the Marine Corps, the Type 40 assault rifle used by the Marine Corps also uses a foldable metal buttstock. Probably only southern Africa in the world can be so rich.

At present, countries are limited by the production of steel. Wood is used wherever wood can be used on rifles. There is only one in southern Africa that even uses metal for the butt.

If it's just a metal gun stock, the United States can actually do it.

However, the Americans haven't even completely changed their outfits for the Garand, and the research on assault rifles is all a matter of the 60s.

In the helicopter numbered 1409, Second Lieutenant Lin Ke from the 7th Marine Corps Brigade was sitting closest to the hatch.

Don't get me wrong, the helicopters in Southern Africa are numbered from 1000, not that there are already more than 1000 helicopters.

Lin Ke is wearing a four-color desert camouflage with khaki and dark brown tones, as well as his helmet and military boots.

As an officer, in addition to carrying a pistol, Lin Ke also carried a Nyasaland rifle with him, which is the habit of many southern African officers.

For many veterans, the Nyasaran rifle is obviously more trusted than the Type 40 assault rifle because of its longer effective range.

Lin Ke himself is also a precision shooter. For Lin Ke, a semi-automatic rifle can be used as a sniper rifle. The Marine Corps requires firepower density and also pursues shooting accuracy.

The Air Force does not now know that the Prince of Savoy is in the attacked convoy.

However, being able to have convoy protection at this time and flee Mogadishu in an armored vehicle is undoubtedly rich or expensive.

After receiving the report from the Air Force, the helicopter set off immediately and arrived at the scene in only 15 minutes.

The Air Force is currently unable to determine the location of the Prince of Savoy, it can only determine an approximate range.

After Lin Ke arrived at the scene, he was not in a hurry to search and arrest. He ordered the soldiers to disperse and surround the entire area, and waited for the follow-up support to arrive before conducting the search.

More and more support troops have arrived. Those wearing four-color desert camouflage are elite troops, those wearing ocean camouflage are support troops, and some sailors wearing white sailor uniforms are participating in the search. The Indian Ocean Fleet has confirmed that the Prince of Savoy While in the convoy, Jackson Marshall ordered that the Prince of Savoy must be captured alive.

"Everyone come out of the room and gather in the yard, otherwise we will launch an attack immediately—" The Indian Ocean Fleet made all preparations before departure, with not only Italian translators, but also Somali translators.

Somali translators are not hard to find, and don't forget that half of Somalia was once a British colony.

The population of Mogadishu is complex, most of them are Samalai and Sabu. Samalai accounts for more than 80% of the total population, and is divided into four major tribes: Daroud, Hawiye, Isaac and Dir .

Lin Ke's luck was not very good. He searched dozens of houses continuously and found nothing unexpected, let alone Prince Savoy, not even Prince Savoy's guards.

Facing the marines, the Mogadishu people were very afraid.

Lin Ke was also surprised by the living conditions of the people in Mogadishu.

There were very few men, and even if there were, their figures were worryingly thin, as if they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

Many children don't even have clothes, but the number of children is astonishing. Any family has at least four or five children, and as many as a dozen. According to the translator, if it weren't for poor sanitation and rampant diseases, children's There will be more.

Most of the houses in Mogadishu are thatched houses. Many houses don’t even have walls. There is only one thatched hut. The temperature here is high all year round. Even people who live in thatched huts will not freeze to death. The standard of living is not high.

"What's the point, as long as you can survive, not every place is southern Africa—" the translators looked envious when they mentioned southern Africa, and these translators were not from southern Africa.

"Work hard, and you have a chance to become a southern African—" Lin Ke encouraged, took out a toffee from his pocket, and handed it to a crying child who couldn't walk yet.

The colorful wrapping paper of the toffee is a huge attraction to the child. The child stops crying for a moment and reaches out to take it with a dull expression.

Lin Ke made a gesture of eating and walked towards another house.

The house obviously looks to be doing well financially, at least the house has walls.

Lin Ke reminded the soldiers to be vigilant. If the Prince of Savoy had not had time to escape, he would probably choose such a house to hide.

Sure enough, as soon as the interpreter's voice fell, a white flag was shot from the window of the house.

It is not a white flag, but a white robe that is common to Somalis.

"Everyone come out, come out, raise your hands high, and put them where I can see them!" Lin Ke shouted in English.

Immediately several rifles were thrown from the windows.

Then the door opened, and a group of people came out, among them the Prince of Savoy.

When he saw the Prince of Savoy, Lin Ke couldn't help getting excited. This is a big fish.

At the beginning of the war, the Indian Ocean Fleet printed photos of some leaders of the Italian East African colonies on playing cards to enhance the impression of officers and soldiers.

In the playing cards, the Prince of Savoy is the king. All the officers and soldiers of the Indian Ocean Fleet have long been very familiar with the face of the Prince of Savoy.

"I am the Governor of Italy in East Africa, and I demand treatment that matches my status—" Prince Savoy looked sad, and his era was over.
