Chapter 1339 Black Knight's Black Africa (Second update, please subscribe)
What does it mean to never pursue a desperate enemy?

For Major Singh, he had apparently never heard of the term, and after the airport was attacked, he "immediately" organized his troops to launch a counterattack.

Of course, this counterattack was more to allow him to get rid of his responsibilities. After all, the infantry battalion he led was responsible for guarding the airport, but now the airport was attacked right under his nose.

So, in order to shirk responsibility, Major Singh ordered his troops to pursue the enemy.

After entering the rainforest, they stepped on landmines one after another, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries.

Faced with such losses, Singh was still very rational. He immediately ordered his troops to retreat. However, it was already night at this time, and he didn't even know that the camouflaged commandos behind him had set up an ambush point.

Although nearly 500 Indian officers and soldiers retreated along the same route they came from, they unknowingly entered an ambush circle - even the mines buried previously were intended to force them to retreat along the original route.

As they entered the ambush circle, a pair of eyes stared at them in the bushes in the distance and suddenly pressed the firing button in their hands.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of loud noises were heard in the rainforest!
Along with the violent explosion, the trees and human bodies in the explosion area were instantly broken into two pieces as if they were swept by a sickle, leaving only a piece of tree stump.

Broken arms and limbs!

When the smoke cleared, the once mighty team turned into a pile of minced meat. There was almost no one standing, and even many small trees were broken.

In the smoke, there were miserable howls everywhere!
This is the "Scythe of Death"!
This directional mine, which was developed based on the MON200 directional mine of later generations, weighs 30 kilograms! The charge is 15 kilograms - three times the charge of a 155mm grenade. When it explodes, it will produce about 15000 steel balls. Under the propulsion of 15 kilograms of charge, the enemy infantry within a fan-shaped radius of 200 meters is basically unable to escape. It can not only kill personnel, but also destroy lightly armored targets. The farthest killing distance can even reach 400 meters.

At the end of the Pacific War, it sent tens of thousands of Japanese to hell time and time again in the Japanese "Banzai Charge", and the same is true now.

The dense rain of bullets formed by the detonation of fifteen Grim Reaper's scythes, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, instantly swept across the entire rainforest. More than 200,000 steel balls swept across the rainforest, knocking nearly 500 Indian officers and soldiers to the ground on the spot.

As for the battalion commander, Major Singh, his head was blown to pieces.

Amid the miserable cries, the wounded saw the enemy coming out. Faced with the appearance of the enemy, these Indian soldiers, who had been terrified by the explosion, surrendered without a second thought.

Surrender. Now there is no other thought except surrender.

At the same time, the airport was bombarded again. 120mm mortar shells rained down on the airport. Captain Cardes hid in the trench while shouting and cursing:

"Damn it! They must be white mercenaries!"

There is no doubt now that such accurate artillery fire is definitely not something that Africans can produce.

"Where is the enemy?"

"I don't know, I can't see them!"

"Where's Major Singh?"

"Can't get in touch!"

"Damn it, what did the Command say?"

"The Commander asked us to confirm whether they are mercenaries!"

The radio operator screamed, and the soldiers huddled in their foxholes, holding their heads tightly.

"Confirm? Does this require evidence?"

With a grim look on his face, Cardes grabbed the radio operator by the collar and lifted him up.

At this time, another shell fell, but this shell was a little off target and hit the airport runway. After the violent explosion, tons of soil flew into the sky.

Holding the radio operator's collar with one hand, Kades pointed at the falling shells and roared:

"This is the evidence. This is the evidence they want. Who else but Europeans can deliver such accurate and fierce artillery fire? Relying on those chimpanzees!"

Perhaps because he was too nervous, Cardes spoke out his inner thoughts directly, but it didn’t matter. The correct answer these days is discrimination.

The fierce bombardment was something that Cardes and his companions had never experienced before, except for a similar experience when they were volunteers on the Eastern Front.

At this moment, someone suddenly screamed in horror:
"Here they come, here they come..."

The enemy is coming!

It was black people. They attacked the airport with their No. 4 rifles and submachine guns. At the same time, the fierce bombardment did not stop. Although the Indian soldiers guarding the airport continued to fight back, the tower was destroyed by direct fire and the firing point was also...

"We're all over!"

Kades shouted:

"They are not black. When can black people fire such artillery fire!" The artillery fire was indeed not fired by black people. At most, they were just making up the numbers. The backbone of the group were more than 200 Black Knight mercenaries from Asia.

They used mortars and Gustav recoilless rifles to easily break down the airport's resistance. In just one hour, the airport's defenders surrendered.

That day is February 2th!
Valentine's Day in the West!

Kolvechi Airport was occupied under the attack of local Katangan armed forces. Among the thousands of UN troops, more than 700 were killed or wounded, and the remaining more than 500 chose to surrender.

"Kolwich Airport was raided! It was occupied by rebels!"

When Major General Chand of Elizabethville, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces, learned the news, he was completely stunned.

After a while, he asked:
"Where's our plane?"

The answer is obvious - the planes were gone, and even the defenders were killed or wounded. Such heavy casualties were unprecedented. You know, in the past two years, the total casualties of the UN troops were only a few hundred people.

This battle completely overturned their cognition.

"Who is their commander?"

"Andre Cardo, Lieutenant Colonel and Commander of the 9th Brigade of the Katanga Army..."

Upon hearing the name, Major General Chand said:

"It's that guy. His troops are very powerful, but..."

After a brief pause, Chandler said affirmatively:
"But I think this battle was definitely not fought by those Africans. It was definitely fought by mercenaries, and they were elite mercenaries from Europe."

Everyone in the United Nations Force Command was so sure.

So there was no suspense at all. Bob Denard and other former mercenary commanders of the 10th Katanga Commando were pulled out for interrogation!
These mercenaries, who had been promised that they would not be held accountable after laying down their arms, were confused by the sudden interrogation.

"Tell me quickly, who is it? Who did it?!"

Facing the Indian interrogation, Bob Denard, who was whipped more than a dozen times, shouted excitedly:
"Say, what do you want me to say? You should ask first..."

At this time, the Indian officer who was whipping him realized that he had not asked any questions at all, so he asked:

"Besides you, who are the other mercenaries in Katanga?"

Who else but us?
Bob Denard wondered:

"Who else? We are all here..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden violent explosion sounded, and then someone screamed in horror:
"Air strike! It's an air strike!"

Air strike!

The raid took place without any warning at 2 pm on February 14. The aircraft was the "Butcher Bird" that took off from Kolwich Airport. When these tactical attack aircraft modified from FW190 fighters appeared in the sky over Elizabethville, those who had experienced World War II immediately recognized it.

In the UN camp, the Irish and Swedes who were enjoying the tropical sunshine pointed at the planes in the sky and screamed in horror.

At the same time, the sound of machine guns rang out, and 30mm machine guns swept through the crowd like raindrops. Some soldiers who could not dodge in time were directly shot in half. The violent explosion caused by the shells "planted" a forest of smoke columns in the camp. For a moment, the camp was full of blood and flesh flying.

Many vehicles were also destroyed in the explosion. Although it could not cause damage to armored targets such as armored vehicles and tanks, the fierce artillery fire was definitely not something that could be blocked by the human body.

An aerial raid hit the UN camp at Elizabethville, and unlike any air raid they had experienced before, six Butcher Birds directly strafed the camp with heavy machine gun fire.

Although these officers and soldiers of the United Nations Army from Europe demonstrated excellent qualities - using machine guns to fight back against planes in the air, they had no real anti-aircraft weapons at all. Ordinary machine gun harassment counterattacks were simply meaningless. During their counterattacks, the Butcher Birds accurately dropped 50-kilogram bombs on targets such as barracks and warehouses.

For a moment, the camp was filled with smoke!
"It's the butcher's bird!"

Not only did the Europeans recognize it, but Major General Chand also recognized it. More than ten years ago, when he was a lieutenant, his unit had suffered an attack by the "Butcher's Bird" during the invasion of Hyderabad. Until now, everything that happened that day was like a nightmare, and it always woke him up in the middle of the night.

And now, when these "butcher birds" appeared in his sight again, Major General Chand had only one thought in his mind - it's over!

The reason why he had such an idea was because he knew what he had encountered. What he encountered were not European mercenaries, but...

"The Black Knights, damn it, it's the Black Knights... They're coming, we're done, all of us!"

Major General Chand screamed in fear. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to more than a decade ago, back to that death road...
