Chapter 176 Battle of Madagascar 17
There were 350,000 inhabitants of Murondava, and Africans who were born and raised here accounted for 98% of the total population, most of the residents were farmers and fishermen who relied on primitive farming and fishing for their livelihood. Don't dare to show your head at all. Knowing that the whispering had stopped in the afternoon, some of the brave residents slipped out of their homes to find out what was going on just as night was about to fall.
When they opened the door, they found two bags of white noodles and some air-dried meat and canned food in front of their house. At this time, there was already a "rumbling" sound in the distance, and a large group of armored tank vehicles was coming from the direction of the coast, and the long convoy did not stop in the city of Murondava, but drove straight in the direction of Angeli Zatu.
As the tall and mighty tanks and armored vehicles turned on, there were large trucks full of soldiers behind them. Not long after those big trucks. A dozen more trucks came to a halt in the city square of Murondava, followed by a large number of black soldiers jumping out of the big trucks, followed by a team of five. Patrols began in Murondava. Their mission was to ensure that order was restored after the war in the city of Murondava, and to prevent some ill-intentioned people from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Africans are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Just as they started patrolling, some of the residents who had opened the doors were so frightened that they closed their windows again. The warriors looked at each other. A helpless wry smile appeared on his face. At this time, a platoon commander wearing a sergeant's uniform picked up a megaphone and said: "Compatriots, please don't be afraid, we are the African People's Liberation Army and the children of the African people. It is not a lackey of the colonial armies of the Western powers, and the food at your door is the compensation we send to everyone. ”
"The French have been wiped out by us, and the city of Murondawa has been completely restored by us. The island of Madagascar will also be fully recovered. The time has come for us Africans to have the final say, so please don't be afraid. Come out, fellow citizens. ”
With the platoon commander's shout, the residents who had closed their doors and windows were opened and their heads poked out of their homes.
A middle-aged black man walked out of the house, with a confused look at the soldiers around him, they were tall and wearing colorful military uniforms, and they were wearing black high-top leather boots on their feet, and the weapons in their hands looked very sophisticated, although the black middle-aged man didn't know how to evaluate the quality of the other party's weapons, but in terms of appearance, these weapons were much stronger than the rifles that looked like bamboo poles in the hands of those Frenchmen.
"You guys, are you really an army coming from over there?" The middle-aged black man looked at the other party and asked in disbelief.
"Yes, uncle, we are the garrison of the African People's Liberation Army Army, you have been liberated!" A soldier said with a smile to the middle-aged black man.
"Ah, it's true, I don't know it's our own African army, please forgive me." The middle-aged black man was very excited, and when he was trembling and wanted to salute the soldiers, he was stopped by the platoon commander who couldn't laugh or cry.
The platoon commander had no choice but to explain to the middle-aged black man: "Uncle, we are the African People's Liberation Army. We are the people's soldiers. I am from you as much as you are. We don't accept this boss and this big gift. ”
The middle-aged black man suddenly realized that he touched his shiny head and said, "Oh, oh, yes, you see my brain is really old and confused." I learned about you two days ago from a banned newspaper. That newspaper said that African people's republics had emerged on the continent. He is the country of the African people. But without an emperor, will the country be in chaos? ”
"Uncle, since we are a people's country, it is natural that the people are the masters of the country. Without an emperor, the country would function normally, and France would not have an emperor like us. They have an elected president, and we also have an elected president in power, how can it be chaotic. The platoon commander had to give a new explanation with a crying and laughing expression, which made the middle-aged black man who seemed to understand not understand shut up.
At this time, an old black man of seventy or eighty years old, who walked tremblingly, came here with the support of two young people. He began to look the soldiers in fancy clothes up and down. Then he listened to the soldier speak the most standard Malagasy. Suddenly, he couldn't hold back his old tears, knelt down facing the west, and said in Malagasy: "The sky has eyes, hundreds of years." We Africans have finally welcomed our country once again. They also returned to the island of Madagascar. No more looking at the faces of the French. Although the old man died, he had no regrets. ”
The old man's words obviously aroused the thoughts of hundreds of people next to him, at this time there were already dozens of families who opened the door and walked out of the house, after hearing the old man's words, their expressions were very complicated, after all, they had been ruled by the French for hundreds of years, and at this time, they suddenly heard the news that they and others were liberated and the island of Madagascar was about to be recovered, and they still felt a little incredulous in their hearts.
After a while, I don't know who took the lead and cheered, "Long live Africa!" Long live the PLA. ”
While these soldiers were calming the people, the African People's Liberation Army (PLA) was rushing towards their respective combat objectives in batches. Since the island of Madagascar is in pristine condition, the roads are bumpy. One of the regimental commanders sitting in the jeep was unlucky. The whole person was bumped by the vehicle as if shaking the Lantern Festival. I only felt the liquid gushing out of my stomach rush to my throat. Look at the guards on the side, although their faces are pale, they still sit like clocks. After thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and persevered.
Marching in military vehicles is not a good treatment, and these military vehicles have good off-road and maneuverability as military vehicles. But he doesn't have good shock absorption and comfort, who will be comfortable on the battlefield. Everything proceeds from military purposes. In addition, it is necessary to carry a large number of materials or tow heavy weapons, which increases the bumpiness. So now the entire cockpit and the body behind it are filled with the sour smell of fermented vomit, which makes people can't help but feel sick to their stomachs. Although the regiment leader was riding in a jeep, the thing was so good at bouncing that he jumped straight when he was turned upside down in the car. All he wanted to do was stand up, stick his head out of the car, and vomit. But he was already a colonel. You have to lead by example. It's not a recruit who doesn't know anything, but if he does this, he will be scolded to death by the division commander.
