241 Dark War
It may be normal for one person to go off with a gun, but it is a joke for a dozen people to go off with a gun, and the level of the Nyasaland Arsenal is not so bad.
After scolding, he still had to deal with it, so he sent the sergeant and two other soldiers who had gone off to cross the river and dispose of the corpses in the tribe.
In the rainforest terrain of the Belgian Congo, it is too simple to dispose of a few corpses, just throw them into the river, and after a few days, the corpses will not even have bones and stubble, and when the Belgian Congolese government finds out that there are soldiers missing, they will come back and find nothing, which is normal for this kind of thing to happen at the border.
It's really normal, carefully calculated, this is not the first time that the officers and soldiers of the northern Rhodesia division have gone off with guns, including this time, in the past month, this kind of "gun misfire" has occurred at least three times, the first two times the northern Rhodesia division has not made a noise, nor has it dealt with the parties, and it will not make a big deal of hype than the Congo, after all, this kind of thing is quite humiliating, so now Nyasaland and the Belgian Congo are maintaining the current superficial "peace".
Just as the sergeant and the two soldiers were about to cross the river, Elijah Lucas approached him: "Captain, be careful—"
Well?
Why be careful?
"If our soldiers cross the river, it will be a violation of the sovereignty of the Belgian Congo." Elijah Lucas felt bad.
How to say this kind of thing, the officers and soldiers of the Northern Rhodesia Division must have communicated in private, so Qi Kui didn't feel anything unusual.
Elijah Lucas's feeling is completely different from that of Bai Kui, the official Nyasaland has never publicized this kind of thing, so ordinary people in Nyasaland don't know that border conflicts can happen so frequently, Elijah Lucas has always thought that there is no war on the border, but now this scene is happening in front of Elijah Lucas, which finally gives Elijah Lucas the most intuitive understanding of some "rumors".
Diplomacy is no trivial matter, even if the border conflict is small, it is also a conflict, even if the official news of Nyasaland is blocked, there will definitely be some "gossip" flowing out through special channels, Elijah Lucas, as a high-level talent, has been out of the category of ordinary people, and it is normal to have some understanding of border conflicts.
"Understood-" Qui hadn't taken it seriously, but after Elijah Lucas reminded him, Qui immediately had an extra mind: "Eugene, call those women over and ask them to throw their bodies into the river-"
Eugene is a native of Tertella and the guide of the Terque's team.
Supposedly, they don't need a guide anymore, but the language of the Terara people is too difficult to learn, so it is necessary to have one.
Eugene wore a standard shirt of a soldier of the Northern Rhodesian Division with the badge removed, wearing only a pair of shorts underneath, and no shoes on his feet.
This is the most common dress of the guides of the Northern Rhodesian Division, and Eugene is paid a shirt for serving as a guide, which is very popular among the Terrara people, and Eugene, who is a young man, would rather not have money, but also a shirt so that they can return to the tribe and show off among their friends.
Eugene, who had received the order, went to the river and shouted to the tribes on the other side of the river.
Intentionally or unintentionally, the soldiers began to look for cover, and Elijah Lucas and his students were placed behind a large tree far from the riverbank.
At the border, such large trees are the best cover, and many of them have a straight passage of more than one meter, which ordinary machine gun bullets cannot penetrate.
The women of the tribe on the other side of the river heard Eugene's cry and immediately took action, and they actually knew that if this matter leaked, their entire tribe would be destroyed.
"It doesn't seem like a problem." The sergeant approached and whispered to Kui, who was observing with a telescope.
Tong Kui didn't speak, and used his telescope to search the situation on the other side of the river inch by inch.
It seems that Elijah Lucas is overly cautious, and he has not found anything, but this does not mean that there is no problem, it is too easy to hide in the rainforest, and some masters will not be able to find out if they are not willing to expose themselves, even if you pass by him.
The Terara women were still physically strong, and they carried the slain soldiers to the river, and when they threw them into the river, they did not forget to remove the clothes and weapons from the corpses.
Those clothes were actually stained with blood, and some of them were still tattered, but these Terara women didn't dislike it, and some of them were good to wear.
"Belt, belt, throw that belt to me—" Eugene was very envious of the white officer's belt, and did not forget to ask for it at this time.
It took a long time for a Terrala woman to untie her belt, and was about to throw it at Eugene, when Eugene's head suddenly exploded.
Bang!
Then the gunshots were heard.
Qi Kui suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
If it weren't for Elijah Lucas's reminder, if the sergeant crossed the river, if they were attacked suddenly, even if the sergeant was skilled in his personal skills and tactics, it would be useless.
If a master makes a move, life and death are in an instant.
They attacked the unsuspecting servant army, and the servant army basically had no power to fight back, and they were all killed before they could react.
If the Belgian Congo sends elite troops to attack the patrol of the Northern Rhodesia Division, the patrol of the Northern Rhodesia Division will also be defenseless and powerless, and everyone is equal in front of the bullet, and if they are hit by the bullet, they will basically die.
If they had crossed the river just now, it would be tantamount to invading the territory of the Belgian Congo, whether they were killed or captured, the northern division of Rhodesia would not be able to deny it, and Nyasaland would be in a completely passive position.
"Why is there an ambush, people? Where are the people? "As soon as the sergeant heard the gunshot, he lay down and set up his light machine gun, but after searching for a long time, he could not find the Belgian.
"Hidden, hidden, no one is allowed to shoot if you can't see it—" Qui reminded loudly that in this environment, unless the Belgians came out of the bunker, it was impossible for them to cross the river to attack.
The Belgian on the other side was also very calm, and after Eugene was killed, the next person to be killed was a Terra woman who had unbelted.
At this time, the other Terraras reacted, and their first reaction was not to cross the river, but to flee back to the tribe, and as a result, more and more people were killed.
"Dog's day, you have the ability to come to grandpa-" The sergeant couldn't bear it anymore and pulled his throat to provoke.
There was no response at all from the other side, only the sparse sound of gunfire kept coming.
This is definitely deliberate, the Belgians on the other side are not without the ability to kill all the Terrara people in an instant, and they are using this way to provoke them to lose their minds.
"Shut up!" His face turned pale, and he watched helplessly as the Terralians on the other side of the river were knocked to the ground one by one.
Not all of them were killed by one shot, and some people were just injured and could only lie on the ground crying and wailing, in fact, for them, the greatest relief now is to die quickly, so that they can suffer less sin.
"Platoon commander—" the sergeant's voice was urgent.
"Withdraw!" He gritted his teeth.
"Platoon commander!" The sergeant was incredulous.
"If you want to cross the river to help, take off all your clothes, and leave your weapons behind, and I will now approve your retirement from the Northern Rhodesia Division, and anything related to our Northern Rhodesian Division cannot appear on the other side of the river." Tong Kui still knows the severity.
The sergeant glanced at the woman who was still wailing on the other side, pulled the trigger on the dense jungle on the other side, and emptied all the bullets in the magazine before he got up in a huff.
"There is no mark of our northern Rhodesian division on the warhead—" The sergeant knew that he would be scolded, so he was busy defending himself.
"Yes, it's true that the warhead doesn't have the mark of our northern Rhodesian division, but the barrels have a lifespan, you know? I won't settle this account with you first, this box of bullets will be counted on your head and deducted from your next month's salary. "Tong Kui is not angry, they are all adults, and they are responsible for their actions.
The sergeant was dumbfounded, trying to defend himself but not knowing where to start, when the low laughter of other soldiers came from his side, and the sergeant finally hung his head.
Tong Kui glanced at the tribe on the other side again, gritted his teeth and turned around and strode away.
When he saw Elijah Lucas, he saluted and thanked him with the most solemn understanding.
"What's going on over there—alas—" Elijah Lucas shut up halfway through the question, and the wailing could still be heard clearly.
Everyone was in a bad mood.
Back at the station, Kui reported today's events, and Anton and Martin felt fortunate and at the same time had a deeper understanding of the sinister Belgians.
"Send a telegram to Lara and ask Lara to figure out what is going on with the Belgians." Anton will not be beaten passively, he still has to take the initiative, when it comes to digging holes and trapping, this is the British tradition.
"I'm going to find Frank, there must be Frank's people on the Belgian Congo side." Martin took a different path, the war office trained more than 100 agents, and now they are all sent to various parts of the world, even the Transvaal has agents of the war office, the Belgian Congo is the main target of the war office, and Frank must have planted a lot of people in the Belgian Congo.
As a result, Frank became interested in the border conflict between Nyasaland and Belgian Congo and asked to exchange information with the Northern Rhodesian Division.
Martin agreed to Frank's request and submitted a part of his report on the border conflict to Frank.
Frank reciprocated and gave Martin information about the Congo.
It's all partial, but it's all reserved.
Anton and Martin don't care either, it's normal to have reservations, whoever dares to dig out their hearts and lungs for this kind of thing will end up counting the money if they are sold sooner or later.
Just a month earlier, the Belgian government had sent an elite force of no more than 100 men to Belgian Congo to set up an ambush on the border to teach the northern Rhodesian division a lesson.
This is the legendary dark war.
