Chapter 403 Instinct

The composition of the mercenaries hired by the Belgian government is very complicated. Most of them are from Germany, some are from Russia, France, the United States, and even a few mercenaries are from the United Kingdom.

Although most of these countries are hostile to each other on weekdays, in the mercenary team, these people maintain a high degree of harmony and unity. They have no nationality, no identity, and come to the Belgian Congo from all over the world for the simplest goal.

Every three days, the Antwerp company will contact the mercenaries. If the mercenaries need supplies from the Antwerp company, then the next day, the Antwerp company will send the supplies to a hotel on the outskirts of Lubumbashi. Whether the soldiers were stationed in this hotel, Lawrence Amelia did not know.

This is probably another cause of suspicion. Rock does not believe that the mercenaries are so innocent, but it is impossible for a team of nearly a hundred people not to leave any traces. It is enough to know that the mercenaries are near Lubumbashi. Lala's people Naturally, there is a way to find out the mercenaries.

On December 31, Lala's men sent back news that the mercenaries were not stationed in Lubumbashi, but in Kinyama.

Every time the mercenaries get supplies, they will board the ship from Lubumbashi and send them to Kinyama, [-] kilometers away from Lubumbashi. Kinyama used to be a trading post of the Antwerp company. The trading post was abandoned after the conflict between Assaran and the Congo Free State.

What needs to be emphasized is that Kinyama is only ten kilometers away from the border and more than 50 kilometers away from the attack site. With the criss-crossing waterways in the Belgian Congo, mercenaries can easily launch attacks anywhere within a hundred miles .

"The specific situation is like this. There are no more than 100 mercenaries. They are equipped with rifles, two Maxim heavy machine guns, and a small amount of explosives. When they first arrived in the Belgian Congo, they hired an unknown number of guides and Folks, no one knows if these guides and folks are still alive. Company D is ready to set off tonight. Lala's people will cooperate with you to surround Kinyama, kill all of them, and then hang all the corpses. Let’s get up, there is no need to keep alive in this battle.” What Anton needs now is a strong deterrent, whether there is a confession is not important, the Belgian government is the real culprit behind it, first get rid of these mercenaries, and then the account will be settled with Belgium The government counts slowly.

"Understood!" Wei Zhen, who had already changed into casual clothes, was full of murderous intent. D Company had been training frantically for the past few days. They couldn't take revenge for a day, and the officers and soldiers of D Company felt a fire in their hearts.

That night, all 131 members of Company D crossed the border into the Belgian Congo.

There are countless dangers hidden in the tropical rainforest at night, and the creatures in the water are especially active, but this does not affect the officers and soldiers of D Company much. The officers and soldiers of D Company did not ride on the simple bamboo rafts and wooden boats, but Nyasaland The marine police boats equipped by the marine police will send Company D to the vicinity of Kinyama, and then the officers and soldiers of Company D will approach Kinyama on foot. In the tropical rainforest, there is no need to worry that the mercenaries will be alarmed by the sound of the engine , the distance exceeds 100 meters, basically the sound of the engine cannot be heard.

Kiniama was peaceful in the early morning, and the smooth wind and water during this period gave the mercenaries an illusion, as if the Rhodesian Northern Division was nothing more than that. Compared with ordinary colonial servants, the strength of the whites was limited. There is still a psychological advantage in front of you, and this will not change because of one or two failures.

Of course, there is still the vigilance that should be there. There are still sentries left by the mercenaries outside the trading post. The specifications of the sentries are still a combination of bright and dark sentries. His subordinates have been monitoring Kinyama for two days, and they have even figured out how the sentries change their defenses.

If it wasn't for the guide's guidance, Wei Zhen would never have believed that more than 100 people could still live in the burned down storehouse.

When the conflict between Nyasaland and the Congo Free State broke out, Lala's men once occupied the southern salient of the Congo Free State and captured Lubumbashi. Kinyama was burned by Lala's men at that time.

The area of ​​the entire store is quite large. Besides the dormitories and warehouses, there are several stone buildings that cannot be burned down. Now the mercenaries live in the few remaining stone buildings. Apart from contacting the Antwerp company and sending scouts to Nyasaland, these mercenaries did not contact anyone.

Not long after Weizhen and the others arrived in Kinyama, according to the custom, the scouts sent by the mercenaries to Nyasaland will set off.

"The machine gun is ready, first destroy the scouts, and then launch an attack on the store, just like we trained, first bomb with grenades, then use incendiary bombs to open the way, kill anything that can breathe, and leave no one alive!" Wei Zhen continued Do pre-war mobilization.

"Don't stay alive!"

More than a dozen officers had oil paint on their faces, and they wore all kinds of clothes. The weapons they used had been replaced by Martini Henry and Kimberley revolvers. Now only the United Kingdom is equipped with Lee Enfield, and other countries All the weapons equipped are single-shot rifles, and the strength of Britain is directly reflected in all aspects.

The grenade launcher that Company D is currently equipped with is not a 40mm rapid-fire gun, nor is it a grenade that can be mounted on the barrel and fired directly, but a new type of grenade launcher manufactured based on the principle of a revolver.

The shape of this grenade launcher is an enlarged version of a revolver. There are grips at the front and back of the magazine, and the ammunition capacity is ten 40mm grenades. It is a little less, but its power is not reduced at all. It is definitely a big killer accompanying infantry operations.

Now the company of Rhodesia Northern Division, this kind of grenade launcher named "Super Revolver" has been equipped to the platoon level. In the future, the Rhodesian Northern Division will equip the Super Revolver to the squad level and form it together with light machine guns. With the basic firepower of the squad, coupled with a large number of accurate shooters, the firepower configuration of the Rhodesian Northern Division was not inferior in this era, even during World War II.

As for the incendiary bomb, it is very easy to develop this thing, that is to say, Nyasaland's current chemical industry is not developed enough, otherwise Rock can easily prepare the incendiary bomb.

As for how to match, sorry, this is Nyasaland's military secret.

Compared with the Rhodesian Northern Division, the mercenaries' equipment was much simpler. Not to mention the water police boats, they didn't even have steam power. They could only rely on manpower to enter Nyasaland in wooden fishing boats for investigation.

The mercenaries really didn't expect that Nyasaland's counterattack would come so quickly. There were eight people in two fishing boats, and everyone was paddling hard, and no one was on guard.

Wei Zhen made a gesture, and the heavy machine gun shooters who were waiting for the battle pushed and loaded the bombs. The four soldiers with the best bomb throwing results each had an incendiary bomb, and they were ready at the corner of the river.

There was no communication between the mercenaries. The fishing boat slowly slowed down when it reached the corner of the river. Just after turning the corner, four dark incendiary bombs flew over almost simultaneously.

It must be said that these mercenaries are also good players. They all have rich combat experience and their reaction speed is much faster than ordinary people.

Before the incendiary bomb landed on the boat, a mercenary picked up the oar and directly pumped one of the incendiary bombs.

This was a very positive way to deal with it in the past, but it doesn't work now. When the oars are drawn onto the incendiary bomb, the incendiary bomb is not directly drawn away, but explodes directly in the air. The violent flames instantly engulfed the entire fishing boat, and the mercenaries Almost without enough time to scream, he jumped directly into the river.

Jumping into the river will not change their fate. The reason why incendiary bombs are vicious is because they can continue to burn even in water. Nyasaland has a lot of natural rubber, and the incendiary bombs made are comparable to napalm bombs. The difference is almost the same. In fact, for these mercenaries, the best way to escape is to commit suicide directly. Although this can't change the final result, the process will be much more humane.

People in this era lack the understanding of incendiary bombs, and the mercenaries can be regarded as well-informed, but they still don't know that there are such vicious weapons in the world, so the eight mercenaries have almost no chance of firing warning shots. No, they just struggled and sank to the bottom of the river. The two fishing boats were quickly burnt to nothing. Show what just happened here.

"Start to act!" Weizhen has no mercy, and treats the enemy like this. If the officers and soldiers of the Northern Rhodesian Division fall into the hands of the mercenaries, the mercenaries will torture the officers and soldiers of the Northern Rhodesian Division to death. No one needs to show mercy Who, in this world, has no time to pity oneself.

In addition to the outlying sentinels that have been dealt with, there are only three or five guards left near the commercial post. Two officers who have just sent the scouts off have not yet left the dilapidated simple trestle, leaning on the railing beside the trestle to smoke and chat .

An officer seemed to smell something, frowning and looking in the direction of the smell.

The other officer also seemed to be aware of it, but his expression seemed to be enjoying it, but soon, the officer realized what had happened.

Just before he had time to throw away the cigarette in his hand, and before he could give a warning, the officer was hit directly by the howling bullet. The powerful kinetic energy of the bullet penetrated the officer's body. Looking at the wound from the front, it was the size of a coin, but it broke his body. The wound was already the size of a teacup, and the officer fell into the river without saying a word, and the guards above the ruins of the trading post finally noticed the abnormality.

Bah!

In the silent tropical rainforest, the sound of gunfire was extremely dull, and a large group of birds flew in shock. There were sparse sounds everywhere in the tropical rainforest. This was the instinctive avoidance of animals.
