To Qin Tian's surprise, the first battle was not the "S" troops but Deville.

On this day, Qin Tian was discussing with Dr. Bliss in Altrand about the improvement of the mortar production line...... Among the purchased production lines, the mortar production line is the most difficult to improve, because there is only one, and in principle, the 82MM mortar does not belong to the category of small arms, so Dr. Bliss and the technicians must understand every content in the drawings.

However, this was not a problem for Qin Tian, the barrel was lengthened a little, and the range was increased by a slight change to the tail of the cannonball, which made Dr. Bliss dumbfounded again and again.

At this time, a mercenary reported to Qin Tian: "Head, Major Deville's phone!" ”

Walking into the communication room, Qin Tian picked up the phone and identified himself, and Deville immediately shouted anxiously on the other end of the phone: "Qin, come to the barracks immediately, there is a situation!" ”

Qin Tian knew what "there was a situation", which meant that there would be a battle, and Qin Tian, as an instructor, would of course have to guide him on the spot.

But soon Qin Tian knew that Deville asked him to go more than just "guide".

"Here's the thing!" DeVille pointed to a point on the map and said, "The Silik forces have occupied the village of Shipal, with a large number of troops of more than 100 men in a company...... We must take it back! ”

"Is there anything wrong with that?" Qin Tian asked, "There are more than a thousand of you!" ”

Although the combat effectiveness of the Deville armed forces is not flattering, the combat effectiveness of the other armed forces is not much better.

"The problem is that we still have to defend Kismayo!" The captain explained, "Once our whole army is dispatched, there is a risk that Kismayo will be taken advantage of by other forces! ”

Qin Tian nodded in understanding.

This is a disadvantage for the defending side...... While there are many benefits to capturing a city, such as taxes, soldiers, food, etc., at the same time, the problem is tied to your feet. As it is now, the opposition attack on the neighboring village outside the city Deville is not fully responding.

"It's time for the new machine gun to do its job!" DeVille said.

"No, no......" Qin Tian replied: "They have only been training for two weeks, and they are still very unskilled in the use of tactics!" ”

"That's why we need you to command!" DeVille said.

"I thought I just needed to train." Qin Tian couldn't help but be stunned: "Our employment contract didn't say that I would fight for you!" ”

"This is not a battle, Qin!" DeVille said: "This is the command, and you don't want this army to be defeated at the first attack!" ”

This is true, Qin Tian is still waiting for this machine gun to become famous and open up sales.

"Please, Qin!" The captain said, "You only need to give orders in the rear, and let me and my men do the rest!" ”

Qin Tian believed Deville and the captain's words, but it turned out that Qin Tian was still too naïve, and the situation that Deville and the captain said could only happen if they completely gained the upper hand in the battle, and accidents would happen at any time when the battlefield changed.

Perhaps Deville also wanted to test the new machine guns, so he sent them out, plus three old pickup trucks to cover a car loaded with ammunition, and a total of more than 100 troops went to the village of Shipal.

The deployment of the troops was as follows: the captain commanded ten pickup trucks armed with new machine guns in two directions towards the village of Shipal, using the same tactics as they had been trained during this time...... When the enemy left the village to fight, the pickup shot as he fled, winning with the rear defense of the pickup and the range of the new machine gun.

The second line was in charge of Qin Tian, with a total of five pickup trucks and a supply vehicle, two of which were equipped with new machine guns, and Qin Tian was on one of them.

"Everything works!" The captain reported to Qin Tian through the walkie-talkie: "Two kilometers away from the target, black smoke was found, these bastards are setting fire!" ”

"Keep going!" Qin Tian replied: "Pay attention and don't let the enemy get too close!" ”

THE NEW MACHINE GUN IS TABOO IN CLOSE COMBAT WITH THE ENEMY, AND THE ADDITIONAL 15MM ARMOR WILL LOSE ITS PROTECTION AT A DISTANCE OF 500 METERS.

"Understood!" The captain replied.

"The Silik forces do this all the time!" The driver couldn't help but complain from the side: "They always snatch everything they can, and then they go away, leaving a pile of corpses and ruins!" ”

The driver's name is Quam, which means "person born on Saturday" in Somali, so of course there are no fewer people who call it by this name.

"Have you seen them?" Qin Tian asked.

"Yes!" "One day they robbed our village, and they killed my mother, and they took my brother to be one of them," Quam replied. ”

Qin Tian looked at Quam in surprise.

The "accident" is not because of the incident itself...... It is no surprise that this happens every day in Somalia.

The reason why Qin Tian was surprised was because Quam said this in such a calm tone, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him.

Then Qin Tian understood the reason why Quam's performance was like this...... It's all too common to die in Somalia, so common that it feels like it's the way it should be.

The average life expectancy is only 47 years, that is, these soldiers in their twenties have already completed half of their lives.

So life and death have become numb for most of them.

"One kilometer!" The Captain's report came over the walkie-talkie: "We continue to approach ......"

"Wait!" Qin Tian interrupted the captain's words, and at the same time gestured out the window to stop the convoy.

"What's wrong?" The captain asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"Something is wrong!" Qin Tian replied.

"Something is wrong!"

"The wind isn't right, Captain!" Qin Tian replied: "The wind blowing from the east, its sand content is too great!" ”

"What?" The captain replied with incredulous words: "Are you kidding?" ”

Qin Tian didn't answer, he jumped out of the car and scanned the east side with a quantum chip...... The amount of sand in the air is indeed a problem.

But there was nothing in the endless desert, and there was no sound of a motor.

So what could it be?

Then Qin Tian understood that it was an ambush, the enemy dug a pit in the desert and laid an ambush, piling up a lot of new soil, and the wind brought the new soil to him.

"Retreat!" Qin Tian jumped into the car and ordered loudly: "Retreat immediately, this is a trap!" ”

Without saying a word, the convoy immediately turned around and drove in the direction the head of the car was coming.

But it seemed too late, and with the sound of motors, dozens of pickup trucks swooped out of the desert, and behind the pickup trucks stood armed men holding AKs, screaming and firing guns in demonstration.

"You're right!" The captain also found out about the enemy: "There are at least two hundred of them!" ”
