Chapter 1060: Old Habits

The Mi-24's crew compartment is designed for medium-sized airborne troops and airborne infantry, and the bulky Alyosha feels a little awkward inside, a bit like he is stuffed into an armored personnel carrier.

However, he didn't have time to worry about these for the time being, Boss Guan was spreading out Zhang Menonggai's map, explaining things in a loud voice, and the other 7 people had to listen carefully.

I have just said this in the forward camp with the leaders of the detachments: every three airborne infantry squads (eight men per squad) are one unit, plus two Mi-8 transport helicopters to carry men, and these people form four groups to move in heads.

The first task of Guan Xingquan's group was to search the bombed governor's mansion and determine the effects of the bombing, and then the nearby area.

It's the new town, and it's the richest and most modern place in the city, so hurry!

As for the power plant or something...

The "United Forces" did not think of using Menongai as a base and occupying whoever they loved, and those strategic points were not attractive to the company and the contractors, and they could not get a dime of benefits!

Menongue is a town in the southwest of Angola, the capital of the province of Kuando Cubango and a centre of trade, transport and distribution of livestock, fur and grain in this area of two to three hundred thousand square kilometres.

There's also a railroad to the Atlantic port of Musamidish, and now... The railway is not working, but there is an air station.

To put it bluntly, it is an important town, and this "heavy or not" is also for Africa: not to mention this capital, the entire area of Kuando-Kubango Province is larger than that of Beihe Province in China, but it has a population of only 1230,000 people, and there are less than 7 people per square kilometer, which is not as good as a big town in this province!

As for the size of the capital Menongai, the largest number of small county seats. With less than a hundred people, they can probably rampage two back and forth in Menongai City.

This place is small and famous, and the people in the fourth group are more unlucky, and they want to control the small airport: Boss Guan said, you can't forget them if you get rich, and if you have a harvest, everyone will score.

If there is a big discovery, the company will not treat them badly!

Boss Guan's words and these contractors all believe that UNITA has no air power, which will cause a big mess in Menongai, and the work at the airport is estimated to be very easy, and it is basically to take over. Twenty-four is not much, but it is enough: the "twin water towers" that have always been in the first level of combat readiness in the small town of Shakawi in northern Botswana will soon set off to rush here to grab territory.

Either they want to occupy the bird place of Menongai and not leave, or they want to temporarily occupy control of the air station for a while, and by the way, they will search the city before the troops of the People's Liberation Army come!

There are still three catties of iron nails in the rotten boats, even if this Menon is poor, this is one of the old nests of UNITA, and there is always oil and water in scraping the ground.

We are a military contractor company, we are mercenaries, and we don't rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find out when to wait!

A city that coaxes people to run away in a panic, even if there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people, this is enough for these brothers to loot - this is in another country, not in China!

It took more than half an hour to arrive, and you could see the convoy fleeing the city in the distance, cars, ox carts, and people on foot.

The guys are here to occupy the airport and make a fortune, and they don't have time to attack the fleeing crowd, even if they have goods with them - we are military contractors, not robbers in the way.

Besides, the combat objectives of this trip have been overachieved, and seeing this situation has also helped the Angolan government army to take one more strategic town in a daze, and it is a matter for the Angolan People's Movement to clean up the tragedy.

It's okay to chase and run the fleeing army, but if you want to intercept it, beware of people playing with you!

This will see another helicopter flying in the north, and the fleeing crowds on many roads are running faster, how miserable!

It has been the same throughout the ages, and there is no misery to flee.

The pilots did not care about the plight of the Angolans, and the 10 helicopters dispersed according to their previous deployment, each finding a landing site to land.

It's very clean, the target area that was destroyed before looks black and clean, there are still a few places burning and smoking, many houses with weak external walls have been blown away, a large area has a wide view, and the road between the houses is the landing field of the top number.

The three Mi-24s landed in a row, and as soon as the wheels were steady, Guan Xingquan and others quickly got off the plane, and then two of the Mi-24s took off again.

The eight Mi-24s still have more than two hours to fly and patrol in such a relatively light load, and until enough manpower arrives, there will always be two helicopter gunships patrolling over the city.

The experience of the war in Afghanistan is not exchanged.

As for what stupid and bold people still stay in the city with a "stinger", those infrared decoy bombs on the helicopter are not decorations.

Guan Xingquan, who got off the plane, looked left and right, and said loudly: "Divide into three teams, platoon-level search mode." ”

As he spoke, he sniffled, and there was a strange smell in the air, like the smell of barbecue, but it was not so pure, and it was mixed with a lot of disgusting smells.

Familiar, smelled on the battlefield, a little aftertaste.

Looking left and right, there were really charred corpses around, not only people, but also a cow on the side of the road forty or fifty meters away, charred black.

The glass hatch in the cockpit of the Mi-24 helicopter opened on the right, and the medium-sized Alexander Kolyuchkov jumped out, holding an AKS-74U short assault rifle and an old T33 pistol stuffed in his holster at his waist.

Interestingly, as soon as the dude got off the plane, he removed the 20-round pilot's short magazine from the gun and stuffed it into a pocket in front of his cloth flight jacket.

The short assault rifle tucked in his elbow, and then pulled out a very exaggerated magazine from a quick-pull button pocket that was clearly sewn on the side of his thigh.

This is a 45-round long magazine for the RPK-74 light machine gun, and it's tied together with duct tape!

The size is amazing, the length is also amazing, this is installed on the short and concise AKS-74U, the elegance of this gun in terms of aesthetic concept is completely gone, and it looks fierce!

The guy also left his flight helmet in the cockpit, and took out a strange-looking canvas wide-brimmed military cap buckle from his coat pocket, which was not an M81 combat cap, but a Panama hat commonly used by the Soviet army in Afghanistan.

When they were in Afghanistan, it was common for Mi-24 gunship pilots and weapons operators to carry AKS-74U assault rifles, so that they would have some combat power in case they were shot down, as well as survival kits for food and water.

There was also a compartment in the plane with a bunch of ammunition and grenades: not only the plane was armed to the teeth, but the pilots were too.

Seeing that a group of people were watching him, Sasha smiled and slapped the powerful short assault rifle and said, "Old habits, I can't change them." ”
