Chapter 58: The Smoke Clears
At the brief moment when the fuse "hissed" and burned, the soldiers who opened fire near the gap, as if they had burned their buttocks, began to retreat at an unimaginable speed, and the gunfire suddenly decreased!
And outside the wall, Major Polly, the commander of the raiding force, was overjoyed to see this scene, and shouted at the same time:
"They're starting to get scared! They're running away! ”
"Everybody's on orders! Start rushing! Kill them all! One hundred dollars for one ear! ”
"Rush! Kill! ”
With his roar, perhaps the temptation of a hundred dollars, the soldiers went completely crazy and began to charge desperately, and more and more explosive packs were thrown out!
"Boom, boom!"
With the roar of the explosives pack, dozens of people at the front had already rushed to the gap!
In that instant!
"Bang!"
A unique muffled sound came!
Almost instantly, the whole gap exploded!
"Boom!"
The visible wave of air swept away, and the soldiers who had already rushed up were instantly torn apart and thrown away, and then engulfed in the smoke and dust rolled up!
I didn't even have time to wail, and when the smoke and dust gradually cleared, the scene was already a tattered corpse, and the original gap had almost been razed to the ground!
"Hahaha! Keep firing! Keep firing! ”
In the courtyard, Muha, a strong man who saw this scene, looked extremely fanatical, waved his hand and shouted.
And Major Polly, who was behind the hillside, instantly felt blood gushing up his head, in fact, he didn't care how many people died, the most important thing was to achieve the goal, but he didn't expect that they would use heavy mortars to shoot flat!
"Rush rush! Keep rushing! Enter the courtyard, and their heavy weapons will not be used! ”
"All lambs to the slaughter!"
"Two hundred dollars per ear, rush in! Rush in! ”
Accompanied by the roar of Major Polly, soon the soldiers began to organize a charge again, and then the gunfire in the gap sounded again, and at the same time there was another "bang" explosion in the yard!
When this sound was heard, the charging soldiers rushed to cover it, but the gap did not explode again!
"Heavenly! Watch out for the heavens! ”
"Get out of the way!"
When Major Polly's voice sounded, many people looked up at the sky, and sure enough, they saw a stream of firelight crossing a graceful curve and flying out of the courtyard!
"Boom!"
In the next second, the gas canister fell and exploded on the ground!
In an instant, a strong shock wave spread, and the earth crackled like rain on the body, and the body fragments could be thrown everywhere, and countless wails and screams rang out!
And without the slightest pause, there were "bang" sounds one after another inside the wall, and the fire flashed in the sky!
Every gas canister falls, a piece of life is harvested!
Outside the wall, there are flat grasslands and low slopes unique to Africa, there are no trenches and tunnels to dodge at all, and even the bursts of explosions make people unable to stand steadily, so they can only prostrate on the ground, secretly praying that the bombs will not fall around them!
But in the face of the gas canister's killing radius of nearly 200 meters, luck is difficult to favor!
"Rush! Come on! $1,000 per ear! ”
"Just rush in, their bombs won't work!"
Major Polly's voice echoed in the interval between the explosions, and many people continued to charge without fear of death, stimulated by money.
For a time, the battle entered a stalemate.
The raiders couldn't win the battle for a long time, and with the explosions again and again, the number of soldiers became smaller and smaller, and the screams became more and more, while the defenders, with the heavy firepower in their hands, successfully delayed the time!
"Sukabule! Sixth and seventh squads. ”
"Take a detour from the side!"
Major Polly became more and more anxious, and if the defenders did not retreat when they came, then wait for death!
Meanwhile.
Just as the two squads began to make a detour and the distant fence began to erupt in gunfire, two kilometers away, I saw that the troops that had been semi-motorized, including pickup trucks, off-road vehicles, and trucks, were approaching rapidly, and they could even be seen to be armed with heavy machine guns and small-caliber artillery!
"Majafark! What's the situation? Why is there already a fight? ”
"Whose troops are attacking?"
Of course, this army that is coming is not here to support, they are also here to attack!
However, this army is indeed the official army of Tanzania, and it belongs to General Baduk, whose waist circumference is equal to his height, but last year, several leaders of this army have been rebelled by Davis!
The application of retired Lieutenant Colonel Davis was approved by the Hexagon, and in order to ensure success, they mobilized this unit that had been plotting for years and secretly plotting a rebellion!
In the carriage, the commander of this unit, Marco, cursed, and the black spy belonging to CAI next to him frowned and said:
"Anyway, the mission has to be done, but it's a good opportunity."
"Maybe none of our identities will be revealed!"
Hearing this voice, a flash of surprise flashed on Commander Mako's face, after all, he is now a petty officer in the regular army, and his life is very nourishing, according to the previous plan, after they are exposed, they will directly turn into a rogue army, and it will not be a good time!
"That's right, as long as we get rid of both sides."
"Then our secret won't be discovered by anyone!"
In an instant, Commander Marco also figured out the joints in it, and said with a flash in his eyes!
The black man next to him nodded, and soon the convoy had come to the edge of the battlefield, and the two of them frowned in an instant, it was obvious that the situation on the battlefield was not optimistic, and the attacker was not only unable to win the results, but was also constantly being consumed!
"Let's fire! Otherwise, soon the attacking side will begin to retreat! ”
"At that point, we won't have a chance to wash our hands!"
"Use the artillery directly, and make sure you don't leave any live holes!"
"Fire!"
Accompanied by the voice of Commander Marco, they also joined the warband!
......
Wait for the general of the Ministry of Defense to know the news.
It's been five minutes since the first gunshot rang out.
After all, the arsenal is not yet perfect, and it is far away from the capital, and there are no telephones and radio stations, so it cannot effectively send a message for help, and finally after the sound of the explosion sounded, the troops around the capital discovered the situation, and then reported it to the only one.
The General's Mansion, hearing the report of the staff.
I saw that this general, who was already in his sixties, did not have the slightest surprise on his face, but had a kind of calmness, waved his hand and said expressionlessly:
"Send troops to the rescue, and order Kellyon to send people to suppress all the troops around the entire capital except for our direct troops!"
"At the same time, send people to monitor the mansions of Lokaha and Baduk, and if they dare to make any changes, take them directly!"
Hearing the general say this, the staff hesitated for a moment and then asked:
"What if they put up an armed resistance?"
Suddenly, a sneer appeared on the general's old face and said:
"If you dare to resist, you are guilty of treason!"
"Kill them all!"
The staff member nodded, and then walked briskly out of the room.
The staff left, and the general no longer had the idea of resting, only to see him sitting at the table, sighing softly and his eyes flashing.
After defeating Uganda in the Great Patriotic War and taking control of the Uganda region in the counteroffensive, in addition to his direct Deputy Minister Kellyon, because of the lower military power, the increase in war revenues, and the influence of external forces, both Lokaha and Baduk have begun to have small ideas.
It is precisely because of this that it was decided to send Kikwete to study in China through secret consultation with the president, hoping to cultivate a direct and powerful general and balance the contradictions within the military.
But now it seems that the ambitions of these people have swelled to the point where they cannot be contained!
It was just a small temptation that provoked such a violent reaction from one of the two!
And the general knows better.
Now that he is alive, because of his prestige for all the Tanzanian army, these careerists at least dare not come out openly, but if they die or step down, then the warlords will reappear, and Tanzania will be plunged into war again!
So this time, the general and the president decided to hit the nail on the head!
Finally.
After two hours.
The old general sat on his chair looking tired, and finally with the sound of knocking on the door, he saw a bearded officer walk in, his uniform stained with dust and gunsmoke, and the smell of blood on his face, and he saluted respectfully and said:
"Report to the General."
"The rebellion has all been quelled!"
Suddenly, the general breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he was facing two military bigwigs with real power, even if he was the first person in the military, he did not have the confidence to win, I saw his hand trembling slightly and picked up the water glass next to him, took a sip and moistened his dry lips and said:
"Is Kikwete still alive?"
The bearded man nodded, and said with a slightly ugly and hideous smile:
"Alive, just shot, in the arm."
"Nothing serious!"
Hearing that Kikwete was still alive, a smile finally appeared on the general's face, after all, Kikwete was the young military high-ranking he valued the most, and even if there were no problems in the future, he was already the general's scheduled successor, and then the general asked:
"So who did Lokaha and Badok?"
"Is there direct evidence?"
Suddenly, the bearded officer couldn't help but laugh and said:
"General, you didn't guess right this time!"
"Because Lokaha and Baduk and the centaurs of both sides participated, and the scene was a three-way scuffle, which is called a mess!"
"If it weren't for the heavy mortars, Kikwete would never have been able to hold it!"
"You didn't go to the scene, it was a tragedy, the thirty mortars that had been produced were all fired, and the outside was broken by pieces of flesh and bones, like a slaughterhouse."
Speaking of this, the bearded officer couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"But this battle also proved the power of heavy mortars."
"I think mortars have very good tactical value, whether it is attacking or defending, or urban combat or encounters."
"I hope that the general can give instructions for large-scale production and equip our immediate troops."
The general had no objection to this, nodded his head to indicate anything, and then asked with a little interest:
"Since both Lokaha and Baduk's people are participating."
"What about these two? What's the situation? ”
Suddenly, the bearded officer put away the smile on his face and explained seriously:
"The men sent by Lokaha are a rogue army that we have cleared several times but failed, and the reason why we can be sure that it is his men is because Major Polly and several others were found inside the corpse."
"And we think that this force has something to do with the Soviets."
"And Lokaha himself may have guessed this situation, and before we took control of his mansion, he had already run!"
"It's not clear what it is, but just now he made a statement over the radio announcing the establishment of the Emirate of Arnia."
"As for Baduk, he didn't know that his troops had gone out without permission, and they had killed themselves after being controlled by us."
"When our troops entered the Barduk camp, they met with some resistance, and at the same time the American adviser Davis disappeared and has not yet been found."
"So it's basically certain that it has something to do with the Americans."
"In addition, the son of Baduk claims to be self-reliant in the state of Wak, where their tribe is located."
After the bearded officer finished speaking, he saw that the general was not worried at all, but shook his head with a smile and said:
"Good! Good! It's best to be self-reliant! ”
"Only a clear enemy is the best enemy!"
"Let Kikwete recover from his injuries and recover quickly, and bring him his letter of appointment, our war has just begun, and he can't be absent!"
"In addition, the arsenal was ordered to continue the production of mortars."
Then the bearded officer nodded and left the room, and the general finally breathed a sigh of relief!
At the same time, inside the arsenal.
Smelling the smoke and blood in the air, and feeling the sharp pain in his arm, Kikwete let out a long sigh, he didn't expect that things would turn out like this in the end, and he actually directly forced the two generals with great power in their hands!
Although the general asked him to recuperate, Kikwete was in the mood, he knew that he had to work quickly.
The most important thing is to contact Wang Ye and continue to purchase gas canisters!
At this moment, accompanied by billowing smoke and dust, I saw a convoy drive in, and the bearded officer jumped down and said:
"General Kikwete, your letter of appointment has arrived!"
"Also, a telegram from Huaxia!"
In an instant, Kikwete's originally dim eyes lit up again!
