Chapter 1061: Looting

Every veteran, especially those who have participated in actual combat, generally has their own habits.

Guan Xingquan has it, once he leaves his base in Africa, he will carry a lightweight AKMS on his shoulder, and he will always have a live ammunition magazine stuffed in the three magazine pockets on his chest, and he will carry a gun even when he goes to the toilet.

Pistols can be thrown around, assault rifles must be carried with you, and when it comes time to move the gun, AK will always be more effective than Glock.

As for going out on a mission, it's not just a matter of four magazines, not counting the backpack, there will also be a double-layered two-row lateral magazine pouch tied to the waist.

The veterans all know that this is really a fight, and eight magazines are a "crackling" thing, and there is never too much ammunition!

During the war against Vietnam, the trenches were filled with grenades, magazines and chain boxes filled with bullets during positional operations.

Sasha is also a veteran, and he is a veteran who has participated in the war longer than Guan Xingquan, so he naturally has his habits.

The pilots did not carry a Makarov pistol, and they liked the old Tokalov, because the T33 was a little more reliable than Makarov.

Fortunately, when buying helicopter gunships this time, these pilots had to use a lot of small bits and pieces, and according to the standards, they all referred to the habits of fighting in Afghanistan.

There are also two magazines of thirty rounds on one side of the flight jacket, and two thermobaric grenades taken out of the small compartment are hung on the chest, except that there is no bulletproof helmet on his head and no bulletproof combat vest on his body, the firepower in Sasha's hands within 200 meters is more fierce than Guan Xingquan and others!

The 5.45mm small-caliber rifle bullet, which the Afghan guerrillas called a "poison bullet", once hit, is even larger than the Yugoslav M67 round!

The assault rifle alone carried 170 rounds, enough to fight for a while.

Noticing the pilot's equipment, and then looking at the AKMS assault rifle in his hand, Alyosha said to Guan Xingquan in Russian: "Shall we change it next time?"

"AKS-74 for the Airborne Forces is good and convenient. ”

Sasha heard about it and made a pitch.

Guan Xingquan shook his head, "Wait until the African people popularize the 5.45 bullet."

Sasha, you just follow me. ”

It is difficult to find 5.45mm rifle cartridges here, and they can only be distributed by the company, which is very bad.

The Angolan government used 7.62 mm M43 ammunition produced by the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and Cuba, and the "United Forces" is now a friendly and cooperative partner with them, and they also use these reliable ammunition provided by SPLM.

But at the beginning, the Soviet Union did not transport AK74s to the Anarians, the pilots were different, the number was small, the equipment did not matter, and they would not be used as infantry, so the large army would not work.

To fight a war, it is very important to unify logistics: even the light weapons that the United States originally provided to UNITA were Soviet-style goods and Belgian high-powered automatic rifles that were secretly re-exported, because in addition to airlift, UNITA really had trouble getting ammunition for the M16.

South Africa began to use the 5.56 mm R5 assault rifle in the 80s, but it was not enough for its own use, and the R1 and R2 of the 7.62 mm NATO cartridges were given to UNITA: the former was copied from the Belgian FAL 7.62 mm automatic rifle, and the latter was copied from the West German G3 rifle.

African specialties, AK and FAL are the most popular.

It is inconvenient to use AK74 in southern Africa, Guan Xingquan said in English: "Let's go!"

The pilot also wanted to go with him, but his partner could watch the plane anyway, and there was no problem.

The weapon operator who remained climbed out of the cabin from the left side and into the cockpit at the back, where he waited.

The Mi-24's pilot and weapon operator's cockpit are made of curved bulletproof glass, which is much safer than standing outside, and even if you are fired by a machine gun in the plane, the one inside can fly the solid Mi-24.

Weapons operator, he also flies the Mi-24, and is still a veteran: they used to be land aviation, and it is normal for one person to hold two positions.

The other two eight-person teams on this side walked separately to the south, and Guan Xingquan's team of nine people first went to the half-collapsed and transparent governor's mansion seventy or eighty meters away.

The corpses that could be seen on both sides were charred, and even the trees on the side of the road were blown up!

Large cloudburst bombs can open up helicopter landing fields in the jungle, and they explode so neatly.

There were no living people nearby, and after three hours, there wasn't even a single bird, probably those flat-haired beasts were scared of the bombing, and they wanted to leave this dead place for a while!

But it's hard to say in half a day, there are a lot of birds that eat carrion in this land, and this will be their feast.

The nine men who set out were staggered in a straggler line, and no matter which direction the machine guns fired at a slightly higher angle, they could only knock down one or two targets at most at a time.

In fact, because the surroundings are too clean, unless there are snipers hiding three or four hundred meters away to shoot, otherwise these people are no problem wandering around.

Walking in this row is just a matter of habit.

Noticing that Sasha naturally followed the position on his side, and the position was not wrong at all, Guan Xingquan felt that many of the basic infantry training methods of the Eastern style were similar, but he had never thought that a Soviet pilot would also be proficient in this way.

It's just a few dozen meters, and it's there immediately.

The courtyard wall of the governor's residence collapsed, and after entering the courtyard, I saw two shallow craters on the ground, which were very different from the craters formed by ordinary high-explosive bombs.

Gentle, the surface of the sand and gravel on the ground has slightly condensed, and it melts at high temperature.

Guan Xingquan pointed with his left hand, and the four of them immediately stepped forward to check, and several other people were on alert.

Sasha, who didn't know English, walked around the courtyard and saw two figures printed on the lower part of the stone building's wall.

These two guys were unlucky enough to get too close to the exploding thermobaric bomb, and they were directly roasted into human prints, leaving no corpses behind.

For the same reason, not a single body was found in the courtyard, but the remains of several almost burned firearms were found.

Sasha didn't feel awkward about seeing such a scene in Afghanistan, but he felt that he couldn't find anything of value here: the house basically collapsed, and even if there were valuables inside, it would either be buried, burned and burned.

The inside of the house was not as clean as the courtyard, at least from the gap in the half-collapsed building, you could still see a piece of charcoal: it was the remnant of the body's torso after it had been thoroughly dried, and the head didn't know where it was flying, and it was normal for the head to be blown off the torso during the explosion. There were also no parts of the body's legs, apparently burned.

It's like a violent, prolonged fire, a fight with a crematorium.

After only two or three minutes, Guan Xingquan shouted at everyone to leave: Don't talk about people here, there is not even a ghost! It is impossible for the rats in the mouse hole to survive!

It was so clean that even if there were a simple ordinary basement, it would be impossible for the people here to survive.

It's good to be able to make sure that the decapitation operation is complete!

Walking all the way to the east for nearly two hundred meters, there are more corpses nearby, and there are still some remnants of the houses in this circle, Sasha, who was walking on Guan Xingquan's side, pointed to a corpse on the side and said: "This is an oxygen-deficient area, and there are no living people left." ”

There was a house on the side that had been washed away by the shock wave, the window frames were gone, and the corpse lying on the ground two or three meters in front of the broken door of the house was relatively well dressed, wearing a vest with several large holes burned, with its mouth open, its body a little curled up, its legs twisted unnaturally, and one hand seemed to be pinching his own neck!

It appears that the man died a painful death, and that the unfortunate man probably had escaped the shock wave and most of the rushing heat waves in the house at the time of the explosion, with only moderate burns on the head and exposed limbs of the corpse.

But the oxygen was almost used up instantly, and the man was not only in pain, but also found that he could not breathe, probably reflexively rushed out of the house to call for help, and just suffocated to death at the door.

No shoes, the green military shorts revealed the identity of the corpse, apparently also a UNITA member.

Alyosha had sharp eyes, and he didn't feel dirty when he walked up, and ripped something from the neck of the corpse, which was relatively badly burned.

"If you don't bring life and don't bring death, it's useless for you kid to keep it. ”

muttered, turned around and threw the things in his hand to Sasha, who was three meters away, "Then, enough for your eldest daughter's tuition for two years." ”

After saying that, he put the gun on his back, squatted down and took out the multi-functional bayonet hanging from his waist, and cut off one of the fingers of the corpse's left hand with two "clicks, clicks".

Picked up a gold ring from the boss, and threw the severed finger directly to the side.

"Wear a ring when you sleep, you're sick!"

He was polite just now, but now he scolds one and throws the ring to Sasha again.

It's the opponent who is dead, so it's normal, why be too polite.

Everyone is accustomed to it: the burned corpse will naturally be swollen, the hands and feet are one of the most severely burned parts, and the corpse has stiffened after a few hours, and the ring on the finger is not easy to hold, so it is better to cut it off.

It's cruel, but it's a war.

Sasha noticed that the others didn't even glance at the belongings they threw at him, apparently helping rich mercenaries, so he was welcome.

It's not too dirty, and things are directly in your pocket.

What he threw at him before was a large gold chain weighing one or two hundred grams, which was the favorite of African tyrants, and the officers of these small warlords also liked this Tao the most, which was probably worth 2,000 US dollars, which was enough for his eldest daughter's college tuition for several years.

Today's UNITA is no longer the UNITA of 20 years ago, where those in power have money, and those who have power have money.

As for the ring, there's an old guy in the helicopter, and he can't be left with nothing.

At this time, Guan Xingquan said: "Sasha's newcomer doesn't have much money, and the rest of the things found will be divided equally according to the rules."

Two people were left outside to watch, and the others went into the house and rummaged through. ”

The residence of a rich officer, which did not catch fire or collapse, was worth going in and searching.

Alyosha said the approximate meaning in Russian, otherwise Sasha would not understand, so he consciously took the initiative to stay and watch the gate.

As soon as six or seven people walked into this two-story building, it was no different from a devil entering the village, rummaging through boxes and cabinets everywhere!

There is nothing special on the first floor, some African-style furnishings have been ruined, and there are no objects worth taking away, so you can't go out to show off with a hardwood chair in the style of African carving, right?

There was a piece of tapestry that was originally good, but it was a little dirty because of the explosion...

But I still didn't take it, it's too ugly to carry it out, even if there are no outsiders for the time being, the guys can't hang it on their faces.

There was a dead man in one of the three rooms on the second floor, a woman, who seemed to have been blown directly from the bed to the wall by the shock wave.

It's innocent, but that's war!

There was a woman's gold jewelry scattered on the floor of the small cabinet that had been upside down, and it seemed unlikely that this was the woman who had stolen it: you're welcome, not to mention jewelry, even two mechanical watches that weren't broken were taken away.

The officer's clothes were also found, with a wallet in the pocket, and in it was a large stack of "kwanzas", a currency issued by the Angolan government, which was estimated to be equivalent to about three or four hundred dollars.

Civil war, money is still universal.

The money is left and the wallet is lost.

There were a lot of clothes in the cupboard, the guys were not poor thieves, just turn it over quickly, and in the crooked drawer next to the bed were two large, intricately patterned gold bracelets, and a few small bits and pieces, plus a carved M1911A1 pistol to take with them.

There was also a small safe in the bedroom, and Alyosha had a lot of strength to carry it out.

There was a harvest in the next room, and I actually found a few tusks more than a meter long, as well as a few African ivory handicrafts.

This stuff is common in Botswana, but it's also a good thing, take it away!

Six or seven people flipped through it together, and it took less than 15 minutes to do it, and they had to find a place to put everything they had found.

There is no need to move, Sasha ran for 200 meters, and the Mi-24 flew over directly, and he was not afraid of fuel.

Stuffed in the crew compartment, the weapon operator who flew the plane looked in a good mood, and this was even better when he saw the ivory and safe that were moved into the plane!

After putting things away, I thought it was a bit ugly, and without doing anything, two guys from the United States dragged the corpse at the door into the house again, and threw a thermite grenade into it by the way when they came out.

We are mercenaries, war hyenas, not kings and righteous divisions!

Thankfully, there are no children's bodies in this house, otherwise a few of them may feel uncomfortable, but at most that's all.

In war, how can there be immortals!

These tens of thousands of square meters have been blown to death, and there will always be some women and children who have died unjustly, out of sight and out of mind, it is not bad to be Ah Q.

Next, they simply divided into two groups and quickly searched the two houses that had not collapsed around them, and the results were there, but they were not as good as the one just now.

Alyosha walked out of one of the houses with a black face, Guan Xingquan looked at him and asked, "What's the situation?"

"There's a corpse in the back of the yard, a child's. ”

After snorting, Boss Guan patted the big man on the shoulder, "Let's go, go to the front barracks, the people in the People's Republic of China said that the people there are all suffocated to death, and there are no children." ”

What can be said?

The most important thing to see.

This gang is pretty good, the two groups of guys who went to the south just now found half-dead people, are you cured?

Ignore it?

Or give those people a shot?
