Chapter 114: Start with Him!
In the following week, the Shadow Company ploughed through all the troubled mining areas, and the unarmed miners were no match for the PMC at all, not to mention that in this year in Africa, in addition to patrolling missions, Shepard also conducted continuous training in security warfare for his subordinates, so the Shadow Company did not even lose any personnel, and the only casualties were three PMCs who were bitten off their arms by resisting women and children.
Originally, if they were wearing combat uniforms, they would not have been bitten on the arm, but due to the weather, everyone basically acted in vests and bulletproof jackets, and the combat jackets were all thrown on the car, but despite the three unlucky people being bitten, no one chose to wear the jackets.
And during this period, more than a dozen miners lost their lives for various reasons, and the Shadow Company maintained the greatest restraint under Shepard's strict orders, but it still can't be compared with a certain country, and when they are threatened, the PMCs will still shoot without hesitation!
There were also many more wounded, a significant number of them due to trampling and other accidents, but these people were treated afterwards and were put on Shepard's list to pay off their debts.
After suppressing the riots, Shepard also had all the mines and equipment destroyed, and the scene was camouflaged, using explosives for mining, and he even sent the Wehrmacht to use it later.
In addition to destroying the mine facilities, Shepard had Osaba contact Sacral, who was smuggling ammunition to Angolan guerrillas at the border, who brought back a shipment of Soviet-made weapons and ammunition from Angola before infiltrating Lubumbashi's town hall under the guise of the Shadow Company.
"For the freedom of Africa!"
The masked thugs wielding AK rifles shot at the ceiling and shouted slogans to drive away the irrelevant personnel in the city hall.
The police tried to do something, but when their ragged police car was fired at by AK rifles, the cops disappeared into the streets at an even faster speed.
It stands to reason that such a case occurred and the police quickly fled the scene, and a riot was inevitable, but just before the riot was about to start, the Wehrmacht took over the city with a thunderbolt, surrounded the town hall and confronted the militants.
As a result, order was maintained in Lubumbashi except for the town hall, but due to the powerful automatic fire of the militants, the Wehrmacht was unable to engage in an effective confrontation and had to ask for the support of the Shadow Company again.
Immediately, the heavily armed PMCs arrived at the scene in armored vehicles, and after several hours of confrontation and shouting, Shepard, who was in command of the front line, ordered a strong attack.
Immediately, the PMCs began a strong attack under the cover of the M20 armored reconnaissance vehicle equipped with twin M2 heavy machine guns, and the heavy machine guns strafed the stone exterior wall of the city hall, leaving a large number of potholes in the wall, and the PMCs also formed an attack formation with great bravery, all the way to the root of the wall of the city hall, and then they kept throwing grenades into the house, and also used explosives to blast the outer wall, no one knows how many enemies were annihilated, but the huge momentum alarmed the civilians of the whole city, and now everyone knows that something happened to the city hall.
After an hour of storming, the PMCs stormed the building and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the enemy, during which the wounded were constantly being carried out on stretchers, and new PMCs were constantly joining the battlefield, in short, after a hard-fought battle, the Shadow Company annihilated all the armed mobs.
Despite the recapture of the city hall, the fierce exchange of fire still inevitably caused irreparable damage to the city hall and the archives stored in it, especially the documents related to the mining data of Katanga Province, which were forcibly confiscated by the government from foreign companies at that time, which recorded in detail the relevant mining areas, mineral distribution and other information, which was destroyed, which means that nearly one-third of the mines in Katanga Province need to be re-registered, and there are also large areas of land that need to be re-explored.
But in general, it was worth it, after all, the riots that spread across the province were completely suppressed after the attack, and those responsible for the riots were shot.
Senerio even held an on-site meeting to watch the Wehrmacht soldiers throw their bodies into the river wrapped in body bags.
Senerio then provided Kinshasa with a detailed report on the handling of the riots and the performance of the IDF.
What colonel led the charge many times, what soldiers were wounded, what colonel carried his hand on his shoulder to save the wounded, what colonel was shot and unconscious, and still encouraged the Wehrmacht soldiers to move forward bravely before falling, in short, this report of wiping the ass was sent to Kinshasa and presented to Mobutu.
The president, who is one of the most educated in Africa, was not interested in the report, but Senerio did get the job done, striking out the troublemakers and killing hundreds of rebels, and indeed maintaining his rule.
Then the reward must be rewarded, and as for the punishment, the hapless mayor was sentenced to overseas exile by Mobutu for giving up the city hall in the first place.
Then another report on the damage to the mine was sent to the so-called Minister of Industry.
When he learned that his mines had suffered heavy losses due to Diao Min's non-cooperation, the minister, who had only been in office for less than three months, couldn't sit still, after all, being an official is to make money, and now that the channel for making money is gone, can he not be in a hurry!
Therefore, the minister immediately brought his cronies and prepared to go to Katanga Province to find out.
As soon as the minister set off on the front foot, an inconspicuous truck stared at him.
"That guy is leaving!"
In the cab of the truck, a local, but with a yellow complexion, wrapped his entire face in a scarf, said vaguely to his companion.
"Follow him! The boss has explained that he can't be allowed to reach Lubumbashi alive! ”
His companion in the passenger seat was dressed in the same way, his eyes fixed on the convoy in front of him.
"If the brothers want to get rich, they have to start with him, so there must be no problems!"
