In the three years leading up to the massacre, the Rwandan Hutu-controlled extremist government had made much preparations for ethnic cleansing. For example, radio stations with official backgrounds and controlled by extremist ethnic forces have long promoted blatant racism and argued that the Tutsi should be eradicated. This is considered to be the eventual preheating of public opinion on such a large scale that the Holocaust turned into.

Moreover, the massacre was not just a spontaneous act of a few people instigated by the Government, but two extremist militias, namely Interahamwe and Impuzamugambi, meaning "those who stand together" and "those who have the same goal", have direct and inescapable responsibility for organizing the massacre. Extremist militias, promoted by the Hutu government, trained and educated, and had easy access to weapons, served as the vanguard of the massacres in the aftermath of the massacres.

Even shortly before the massacre, French transport planes provided the Rwandan government with a large shipment of weapons, including 90 boxes of 60mm Belgian mortars and a considerable number of automatic weapons from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Israel, the United Kingdom, and Egypt. These weapons were eventually used as tools for massacres by the Rwandan Government and extremist militias, and although they were condemned to a certain extent by several participating countries, the scope was very small.

In contrast to the Darfur crisis, the weapons that China legally provided to Sudan before the war were attacked by the BBC and other Western media that claim to be the vane of humanitarianism, and they also caused widespread impact, even leading to Spielberg's refusal to direct the 08 Olympics, which shows how far the West's own double standards have reached. The deaths and injuries caused by the Darfur crisis are estimated to be less than a fraction of the entire Rwandan massacre, but they are also "arms suppliers", some people can gently put down, and others become accomplices to the massacre.

China's strong involvement in the Rwandan massacre has already produced a certain kind of collateral reaction, and if this glory of helping the poor is won by China, it will obviously make other countries very unhappy, and several Western countries have decided to send a limited number of soldiers into Rwanda according to the situation after several considerations. Among them, the French army, which has the greatest interests in Africa, is the mainstay.

After announcing the start of humanitarian relief operations in Rwanda, China sent a total of more than 4,000 soldiers to Rwanda within six hours, and it is expected that all 13,000 people will be in place within 11 hours. This powerful force projection capability and a well-established contingency mechanism have forced countries to conduct a new assessment of China's military capabilities. In particular, the fact that this military operation is still 5,000 or 6,000 kilometers away from China on the African continent shows that China's strategic force projection capability is very strong.

Naturally, some sour analysts pointed out that this time the opponent is a group of rabble and backward small African countries, and they are simply not capable of stopping the Chinese army, and if it is a country with a slight defense capability, China will definitely not be able to do so. Theoretically, there is nothing wrong with what these people say, but there are some nitpicks that others don't pay much attention to.

The Chinese Airborne Forces stationed in Africa and Su Tian's Dragon's Breath Squadron, which had arrived in advance, immediately plunged into the movement after standing on their feet and resting for a while. In the past, the Chinese army had a very fast and powerful mobility ability under the perfect and neat mechanization, but most of these airborne troops fought on the soles of their feet, except for a small number of paratrooper fighting vehicles and military jeeps that were parachuted down.

This should be placed in the armies of other countries, and if you hear that the above requires you to lead your troops on foot, you must spit directly on the ground and immediately scatter it. However, when the Chinese soldiers were in Rwanda, even if they had the world's first-class weapons and equipment today, they did not give up the fine tradition of hard struggle in the era of millet and rifles.

Without motorization and mechanization, they are still warriors who will not give in, and in the vast African wilderness, even if they use the soles of their feet, they have to step out of the way and complete the instructions of their superiors.

Basically, a company-sized infantry, surrounded by a multi-purpose infantry vehicle, the combat vehicle can not drive too fast, to take into account the speed of the infantry, they use the method of taking turns to rest, a soldier rushes for a while, and then enters the infantry vehicle to rest, and then changes to the next class of soldiers, always keep the physical strength of the troops relatively sufficient.

Three hours after leaving the forward base town of the temporary combat command post, the Longxi squad led by Su Tian and the special team composed of two platoons of airborne troops and a combat vehicle encountered the armed forces of a Hutu extremist militia group, the other side was quite numerous, close to 200 people, but the discipline was relatively poor, there were many pickup trucks, except for Toyota and even Chinese-made, the infantry did not have a so-called marching battle formation, but were scattered in a chaotic manner.

Qi Yiming mobilized a number of spy satellites to support its space-based intelligence, and at the same time, the air force units in Sudan also took off a number of Pterodactyl drones to provide intelligence for the ground troops, but the coverage of this intelligence was still a little poor, so Su Tian and others did not receive early warning when they encountered the Hutu militia.

The battle really started at the junction of an open grassland and forest, and when a number of pickup trucks came out of the woods, they were observed by the driver of the multi-purpose infantry vehicle, and Su Tian immediately announced that he had entered a combat state, because this was a flat wilderness, and there was no shelter, and all the paratroopers and special forces lay down on the spot and shot directly at the opposite side under the cover of tall grass.

What you encounter here is definitely not the armed Tutsis, and looking at the arrogance of these militias, they must have committed a bloody crime and are looking for a new target.

The weapons of these militiamen are not weak, they all have a general-purpose machine gun on their pickups, and when they shoot together, the firepower is not weak, and even they carry two 60mm mortars, which naturally they received from the French not long ago.

If it is an ordinary combat equipment of the Airborne Forces, these people will definitely not be taken into account, but the current PLA Airborne Forces cannot carry a large number of weapons into the battlefield because of their limited tasks, and what they can rely on the most is the multi-functional infantry vehicle with a 30mm cannon.

The PLA army is equipped with tracked, eight-wheeled, six-wheeled, four-wheeled and other multi-type infantry fighting vehicles, of which 09 infantry combat is the most infantry fighting vehicle, and it is also the main force of the army's mechanized troops, originally the airborne troops and the Marine Corps respectively used ZBD-03 paratrooper fighting vehicles and 05 amphibious combat vehicles, but later after discussing and studying the needs, they were equipped with a part of the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, that is, MIFV multi-functional infantry vehicles, the domestic nickname "Mif" combat vehicles. In terms of versatility, multi-functional infantry combat is superior to 09 infantry combat, which emphasizes armor and mobility, and has strong mission modularity. Moreover, its total weight is less than 20 tons, and it can be directly airdropped, and it also has a good performance in the ability to swim without preparation, so it is not surprising that it can enter the service of the Airborne Forces and the Marine Corps in large numbers. In particular, the speed of these wheeled infantry vehicles after entering a flat road far exceeds that of tracked vehicles, which is one of the main factors in their trust.

On the battlefield of relative weakness, the Miff showed that he was worthy of the trust of his soldiers. A weapon station equipped with a 30mm automatic cannon accurately aimed at the opponent's relatively threatening pickup truck, and then directly opened fire. The rapid-fire cannon used in the Miff is the same product as the Type 09 gun, which is capable of firing nearly 20 shells in a row and still works.

A few shells accurately hit one pickup, exploding the two pickups, and the other pickups immediately set fire to them, but their 7. The 62mm caliber is extremely strong and cannot penetrate the armor of a multi-purpose infantry vehicle, although the MIFV is very light, less than 20 tons, but its armor is well designed, can protect most of the parts of the wing hull, and is made of composite materials, which can withstand 7 ordinary combat vehicles. The 62mm caliber is a bit struggling, and the MIFV is fighting against 12. At a large caliber of 7mm, there is also a certain amount of defense.

Although the Chinese airborne forces were small in number and a little worse than their opponents in terrain, they were able to quickly defeat this wave of militias without formal military training with a core combat force, the Mifu Chariot. The Hutu militia itself had not heard of foreign troops, so when they first met the Chinese, they were at a loss. And the Chinese soldiers went to war without saying hello, which also caught them off guard.

They left behind about fifty corpses, several pickup trucks were all destroyed, and the rest fled into the forest, and Su Tian did not order his men to enter the forest in pursuit.

"Prepare the weapons that can still be used, we don't have many ammunition and weapons with us in this operation, we can use them sparingly, and we can seize more if we can." Su Tian explained.

They put away a lot of AK-47 rifles that could still be used, but the ammunition was limited, and finally Su Tian decided to bring guns according to the ammunition base, and the extra guns were directly discarded. Compared with the short assault 85-II used by the Airborne Forces, the AK-47 is still slightly heavier, especially this batch of Airborne Forces are basically enlisted after the PLA began to be arrogant, and basically they have not used much old weapons, and they are still not very suitable for making AK-47 such a thing.

After a brief correction, Su Tian's Einsatzgruppen set off again, and their destination was a Catholic church called Nyarubuye, where according to Qi Yiming's database, a concentrated massacre would take place that was the worst of the entire massacre. The mission of Sutian's Einsatzgruppen was to stop the massacre and save the Tutsi refugees and Hutu moderates there.

Because there are not many records in the literature, Su Tian does not know how many enemies there are, but they are not alone, there are many units around to cover them, once they need assistance, they can rush to support, in addition, the army aviation airfield of the forward base will soon be established, and the army aviation troops rushed from Sudan will also provide help to the friendly forces on the ground.
