Chapter 90: Give Them a Little African Shock!
"Did the news spread?"
"It's scattered, but it's not clear if anyone will be on me!"
Osaba touched his newly shaved bald head, in order to better go deep into the front line to get close to the local villagers, he changed his face, cut his head and shaved his beard, and he couldn't see that he was a person at all in the past.
"That's not a hurry, someone will definitely come!"
Shepard held a coin in his hand and flicked it, which was a knee-jerk action as he thought.
"Do you know how many people United Mining is going to send?"
"There are about seventy armed guards, but as you know, the situation has been bad recently, and those drivers from United Mining don't dare to come out, and I don't have a place to inquire carefully!"
"Didn't they hire a lot of black people?"
"Most of the hired workers were repatriated to their homes after the riots, and at present, all the mining areas of United Mining have been closed, and many miners have been issued weapons!"
"Still planning to die? These guys, yes! ”
Shepard stopped what he was doing, flicked the coin up, then caught it again, and shouted at the guard at the door.
"Inform the brothers on standby in the war room to assemble and let Sandman's helicopter warm up, we need to go out!"
"And you, you come too!"
Shepard pointed at Osaba before heading out, and the latter immediately ran to the armory to get weapons and ammunition, and he also had the foresight to send Shepard's gun as well.
Soon the team was assembled, and there were still six people, but this time Osaba took the unlucky guy with the broken bone, and Shepard had two large boxes of explosives carried from the arsenal before getting on the plane.
"We're not going to rob this time!"
On the plane, Shepard, sitting in a case of explosives, tells the team about his battle plan.
"The other party's convoy is huge, and there are a large number of guards, even if we muddy the water and let the black armed people come over to fight, we can't rob all the trucks, so we don't hijack the car this time, but directly blast it!"
"If it is directly blasted, is there a bit less explosives!"
"Enough, we're not the main force this time, explosives are just a signal!"
Because the connection between the attack and the Shadow Company could not be exposed, the helicopter dropped a few people from a distance of sixty kilometers, and went back and forth again, pulling a lot of food supplies and heavy machine guns, and Osaba was not idle, he took the money to a nearby town to get a truck in good condition, and also came with two barrels of gasoline, it can only be said that it is really convenient to have a land snake.
The farther northwest you go, the more vegetation washes up, and the forests soon disappear in favor of grasslands and rolling hills, and the roads here are much better than in the south, at least there are no big potholes on the roads that can be used as swimming pools.
Before coming, Shepard had carefully studied the military map drawn by the Belgians, which not only had a detailed scale and accurate distance description, but also had a lot of markings made by the previous owner of the map, and Shepard, who had been in contact with preparatory military education, also had two brushes, and it was no problem to understand the map and work carefully, so he looked for a long time before he found a very suitable section on the map labeling, but the specific situation had to be investigated on the spot before the conclusion could be drawn.
At this moment, Shepard misses the convenient reconnaissance methods of later generations, and only a few drones are needed to quickly survey a large area, which is like now, he must measure it with his feet.
However, the well-prepared plan did not turn out too badly, and when the car drove to this area with no name on the map, Shepard found that the terrain was surprisingly good.
There were no high points except for a kilometer-long rolling hill lying across the grassland, and a simple kilometer stretched from far away to the bottom of the hill, and then farther away, and on either side of the hilly bagged belt, there were two rivers, because the river flow in the dry season would be much less, so Shepard did not know how wide it was, but it was definitely not deep, because the truck could easily wade through the water.
"That's it!"
Shepard is very satisfied, this width of the 100-meter hill vertical height is about 30 meters, and a considerable part of the place near the road is almost vertical, if you want to go up the mountain, you have to go around a big circle, it is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the only problem is that there is no water, and if it is besieged, it will die.
After selecting the ambush area, it was time to set up ambush firepower, and this time Shepard was preparing for the whole job, he brought an M2 old godmother heavy machine gun and a full 1,000 rounds of ammunition, in addition to a full 60 kilograms of explosives, this firepower to kidnap Nixon, let alone ambush a transport convoy.
"Osaba, you go and hide the car behind the mountain!"
Shepard had set up his telescope at the top of the hill, already thinking about how to inflict heavy damage on his opponent, and the two rivers gave him the answer he wanted, and he was going to wait for the convoy to cross the second river, attack the head car to disable it, and then attack the truck on the first river, and wait until both sides were paralyzed and unable to move, and then detonate the explosives planted along the road.
Considering the length of this stretch of road, sixty kilograms of explosives may not be enough to send all the trucks into the sky. Because in order to create maximum chaos, the explosives had to be buried as far as possible, even in the grass under the roadbed, which made Shepard consider whether the detonation line he was carrying was long enough.
But even if it's not long enough, it's too late, it's already taken them a day to get here, and the rest of the day may not be too late to dig a pit, let alone carry supplies, but explosives are not a last resort, and even their ambush is not important, because the main force of this attack has never been the Shadow Company, Shepard They have to do nothing more than drag the convoy, because the big one is already on the way!
The real killer comes from the rumors that have been spreading before, the black uncles who received Shepard's dollars are crazy to spread rumors everywhere, saying that United Mining is going to transport a whole batch of refined gold out of the DRC because of the deteriorating law and order situation, although the black uncles are poorly equipped, but they have a good appetite, according to Osaba said, he knows that there are more than a dozen armed groups that want to participate, and they are the real protagonists of this scene, the Shadow Company, but they are just useless tool people.
"It's time to give the Europeans a little bit of a shock to Africa!"
