Chapter 1064: Old Plane
Saying this, Guan Xingquan looked at the table below, "Hurry up and load the goods, the gang on the front line of the People's Liberation Movement will arrive in more than an hour at most, don't think about where to find gold, the more things in this barracks will be full of money!"
Go to work, and look at the green, not just the color of the ammo box, but also the green drops of this dollar!
In addition to missiles, they are ordinary weapons and ammunition that are not worthy of this warehouse, but the SPM can see it - now there are means of transport, and if you move more to the airport, you can sell the surplus equipment to the SPM at that time.
Even if the People's Republic of China is a poor ghost, bring enough gasoline, and pull it to Namibia in the south, or even cross Namibia's 30-kilometer narrow corridor into Botswana, then this is still money!
The money from the sale of ordinary seized materials can be divided into a large part of the men who carried out the task of seizing Menongai this time, which is very real, because the company will not think about shipping it back by air, and the transportation costs of things are too high for people who are too inferior and like that.
After the ammunition depot was looted within an hour, a group of people got into a car and rushed to the airport, and there were armed helicopter gunships in the sky to escort them, which was full of momentum.
The road from the camp to the airport is only three kilometers, and most of the road passes through relatively simple residential areas, which are all densely spaced and chaotic. There was basically no one on either side, but there were a handful of elderly black people outside the roadside house who watched the convoy drive by at high speed in a blank manner.
There was a slight numbness and a little fear in his eyes, and the perennial civil war had long since made these people lose much fear, otherwise these people would not have stayed.
This battle is not a genocide, and neither UNITA nor the Angolan People's Movement will pick up butcher knives at civilians too much.
There should still be a lot of people left in the city, and there will always be a lot of people who will have nowhere to go after leaving home, but they haven't reached the realm where these very few old people are indifferent to life and death, and they are probably hiding in their own homes.
There were no looting people on the road, maybe there would be in the central city in the south, but at least none of them were seen.
Money is good, but it has to be spent on life, which city battle for this victorious side did not kill those who took advantage of the chaos to rob property as a measure to calm the people's hearts?
Where there is a perennial war, the common people are shrewd, and no one wants to hit the muzzle of the gun!
If they were not attacked, Guan Xingquan and the others would naturally not be unable to get along with these people who were left behind, and the convoy would just pass at high speed.
……
Yes, there is a barbed wire fence at the airport, and some of the broken places are patched with thorns that can be found everywhere in the area, at least this person will have to cross a barrier to get through.
The three squads that seized the airport were led by Zhang Zhenjin from Huaxia, and his old partner Breed was on his way with the company-level detachment.
Zhang Zhenjin is of medium height, he was an armored infantry for a period of time before retiring, and this time because he might need to carry a helicopter to fight, the result was to temporarily throw away the position of deputy battalion commander, and with more than 30 guys who had been in helicopters and stuffed armored vehicles, he was assigned to the squad on Boss Guan's side, and he was previously responsible for the task of defending the forward base.
An honest man, he took the initiative to ask for the job of seizing the airport: he had many Chinese contractors under him, and he didn't really want to go to the city to carry out tasks, and to put it bluntly, he didn't want to massacres civilians.
As a result...
This will Zhang Zhenjin is reporting the situation to Guan Xingquan.
“… There were only seven or eight staff members and guards at the airport, and the others had already run away. As soon as our plane arrived, this man ran faster than a rabbit, and he didn't fire a shot.
I caught two jobs, one of them understands English, is a random engineer, and the other is a worker at the airport, who was in charge of the fuel supply at the airport before, and said that he was a local, and he didn't want to leave at all..."
The airport is not small, there will be a few Mi-24 and two Mi-8 parked on the apron, Guan Xingquan and Zhang Zhenjin came out of the humble terminal building (in fact, it is like the waiting room of a small bus station), and the apron is in front of them when they go out.
Zhang Zhenjin pointed to the two planes on the other side of the tarmac, "I didn't think about picking up a bargain, that random engineer didn't know how to fly the plane at all, and wanted to run from this side, but there was no pilot!"
Honest people also have honest blessings, this trip didn't expect that there were two transport planes in the airport, which can be regarded as a seizure.
When Guan Xingquan and others were conducting reconnaissance a few kilometers away half a day ago, of course, this airport was also within the observation range, but because of the obstruction and angle of the buildings in the airport, they did not see these two planes at all.
Fortunately, UNITA does not have fighter jets.
The seizure of the plane is a big gain, but the plane seems to be a little old!
"A C47 and a DC7 transport plane built in the 50s, UNITA baby, can fly, the mechanical engineer also said that the plane is in good condition, at least it can fly for a few thousand hours, and the larger DC7 can fly for tens of thousands of hours. ”
Zhang Zhenjin asked the mechanic that the planes originally belonged to the South African Air Force and were later left to UNITA before the withdrawal of the South African army.
A 40's, a 50's cargo, at least 30 years old, but this piston propeller plane is so unreasonable!
Some planes can fly for 70,000 or 80,000 hours, and it is a problem to fly the same plane from grandpa to grandson!
Not only in Africa, but also in some remote countries and regions of the world, such as Central and South America and the Arctic routes of the United States and Canada, both types of aircraft are still available.
Antique airplanes, just the skin!
"What about the pilots?"
In response to Guan Xingquan's question, Zhang Zhenjin said with a smile: "The people who flew the plane were all talents, and if they lived near Savimbi's official residence, it was estimated that they were all killed."
The mechanic didn't go there last night because he had to fix a minor problem with the radio on the C54. ”
Luckily, I escaped.
Guan Xingquan glanced at the two old planes twice and said, "This will not be left to the Anpai People's Movement, but will go to Botswana."
There are a lot of such old planes in Africa, and the accessories are easy to do, and the people who can maintain and repair them are also easy to find.
That's it, the pilot..."
"No problem, I have a few people who can fly these two kinds of old planes, and there are still them in the United States, but they have to be overhauled first..."
As they talked, they arrived at a small repair workshop on the side, where several people were figuring out how to get a few safes back.
Exactly 8 of them!
Guan Xingquan's gang only got one safe, but when they went to the south, the two groups of people also found 7, and the largest one weighed seven or eight hundred pounds, so it took a little effort to get it back!
The smaller ones aside, and two guys who had obviously done the work of a repair shop were using an electric drill to deal with the locks of the best one.
Guan Xingquan asked, "Where did you find it?"
The man with the electric drill heard and said while working: "Bank, people are dead, the outside is turned over, and this guy is too big to move away."
There may be cash in it, but it can't be cut with gas. ”
