Chapter 255: The mercenary behind the circle

The 200-kilometer journey, according to the normal speed of the vehicle, four hours to arrive, is already relatively slow, but in Somalia it took eight hours to drive alive, which is enough to catch up with a certain plateau area in the country, from the provincial capital to Katse, not because the speed limit, but because the road is really bad.

The so-called highway is a road mixed with stones and sand, this is still close to the city, a better road, after leaving Mogadishu for about 30 kilometers, there is no so-called road, it is all that kind of dirt road, potholes, basically any vehicle traffic must be careful, I am afraid that if I don't pay attention, it will overturn, and tanks and armored vehicles should pay more attention, some roads are too poor in heavy capacity.

But fortunately, there was no danger, and finally succeeded in arriving in Soyat, a city that can be ranked in the top ten in Somalia, a place that is worse than the rural counties in China.

Originally, there were hundreds of thousands of permanent residents here, who depended on agriculture for their livelihood, but since the war spread to this place, it has changed dramatically, and most of the residents have now become militias, whether voluntarily or forced, and this group of people has now taken up arms and become Farah's men.

And in the city, you can still see the traces left by the war, although most of the African wars are piled up with their lives, but there are also some old-fashioned artillery, in the city of Soyat, you can see some buildings that have been blown up, it seems that the intensity of the artillery fire is not very high.

"Captain Yu, hello, I'm Kevin, the person in charge here, your camp is ready for you, come with me!" The person in charge of the front line is a leader under Farah, and he has fought with the remaining reinforcements before, but he was defeated and defeated, and now he is still a little scared when he sees the remaining reinforcements, he knows how strong this group of people is.

"Well, okay, you can do your thing, we have our own arrangements!"

The command system of the two armies is not interconnected, the remaining reinforcements want to command Farah's men, but Farah is unwilling, and in the end the remaining reinforcements still give up the idea of commanding this group of people, the combat effectiveness of this group of people is basically zero, and it is better to pray to God for a meteorite than to count on them as reinforcements.

The camp is a residential area, but the people inside are gone, after the remaining reinforcements put down some ammunition, they left two hundred people to be responsible for the safety of the camp, and immediately took their men out of the city, time is running out, if the mercenaries want to attack, it will only be these two days.

The ambush site is less than five kilometers away from the city, and the road in the middle is not bad, and the remaining reinforcements personally checked the terrain and felt that this side is not bad, the rolling hills can hide everyone, and the tank army can stand by in the city, and when the fight starts, they will immediately support.

More than a day has passed since the remaining reinforcements came to Soyat, and every day the independent front will carry out a tentative attack, the so-called tentative attack, that is, there are one or two hundred people, driving a pickup truck, to a position of a few hundred meters outside the city, strafing the defenders, after running out of bullets, they immediately retreated, the two sides fought back and forth very happily, no one sacrificed, but a lot of bullets were consumed.

In addition, occasionally some shells will fall in the city, all of which are some old-fashioned artillery, with a caliber of about eighty, if the remaining reinforcements are willing, they can let the self-propelled artillery at will, and kill all these artillery, but now they are not sure whether they have been exposed, so the remaining reinforcements did not choose to return fire.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that the people who were waiting for the Yu reinforcements to outflank the back road finally came, and the group of people in the mercenary group really did not surprise the Yu reinforcements, and chose to go around the rear, but for some reason, this group of people actually wasted at least three days and rushed over now.

Lukaku, the head of the Rose Mercenary Group, there are more than 70 people in the Rose Mercenary Group, which is a medium-sized mercenary group with good strength, most of the members are from France and Belgium, among which Lukaku is from the French foreign mercenary group, after retiring from the army, with a few comrades-in-arms, the Rose Mercenary Group was established, and has been active on the African continent.

This time, it was Lukaku who proposed it, and he was also the person in charge, and there were great differences within the mercenary group about the action of the rear, and many mercenaries felt that it was enough to push it over directly, and there was not much pressure on the four thousand mercenaries against the city where three thousand black armed elements were stationed.

But Lukaku felt that after going around, he could surround the blacks and solve the problem once and for all, so that the follow-up attack would become very easy, and neither side could convince anyone, and the two sides could only stalemate.

In the end, it was the person in charge of the independent front who agreed to the choice of circling the queen, but most of the mercenaries still chose to refuse, after all, after breaking away from the large army and outflanking the wind, in case of any accidents, no one could support them.

Although I look down on the fighting power of blacks, but there are a large number of blacks, some time ago, the Americans were not surrounded by blacks and suffered heavy losses, and in the end there were less than a thousand people, probably more than 800 mercenaries chose to go around the rear, the main reason is because if you participate in the rearing operation, there will be a bonus, among the mercenaries, there is no shortage of people who want money and don't want to die.

The early stage of the entire rear-of-the-road operation went very smoothly, without encountering any obstacles, and successfully came to the area behind Soyat, ready to attack.

"Boss, the enemy is coming!" The tyrant said softly, and before the remaining reinforcements found the target, they saw the tyrant hand over the telescope in his hand and pointed in a direction: "Over there!" ”

"So little?"

The mercenaries can be said to be swaggering, they don't hide their tracks at all, cars, trucks, jeeps and other means of transportation, they are very arrogant, and they are not afraid of meeting people at all, in fact, there are still many mercenaries in Lukaku's hearts, they really don't worry about encountering enemies, it's good to run over directly when they encounter blacks, but they haven't received information at all, and the people of the war mercenary group have come to Soyat.

"Commander Lu, we are still six kilometers away from Soyat, do we need to contact the people of the independence front? Cooperate with us on the offensive? ”

"Let's contact them, inform them, in half an hour, we will launch an attack on Soyat, let them get ready, fight back and forth together, and take Soyat!"

"Good!"

After receiving the information, the independence front immediately began to prepare, and the people of the independence front are now beginning to look forward to what will happen after they destroy Farah and unify Mogadishu.
