"Has the news spread?"
"It's gone, but I don't know if anyone will be fooled!"
Osaba touched his newly shaved head. In order to better get closer to the local people, he changed his appearance, cut his head and shaved his beard, and he couldn't tell that he was the same person as before.
"Don't worry, someone will definitely come!"
Shepard held a coin in his hand and kept shaking it. This was considered a subconscious action when he was thinking.
"Do you know how many people United Mining will send?"
"There are about seventy armed guards, but as you know, the situation has been bad recently. The drivers from United Mining are afraid to come out, and I have no place to inquire carefully!"
“Don’t they employ a lot of black people to work?”
"Most of the employees were sent home after the riots. Currently, all the mining areas of United Mining are closed, and many miners have been issued weapons!"
"Still planning to hold on? These guys can do it!"
Shepard stopped what he was doing, bounced the coin up, caught it again, and then shouted to the guard at the door.
"Inform the brothers on standby in the combat readiness room to assemble and let Sandmann's helicopter warm up. We have to go out!"
"And you, come too!"
Before Shepard went out, he pointed at Osaba, who immediately ran to the armory to get weapons and ammunition, and he was very discerning and also sent Shepard's gun over. .
Soon the team was assembled, and there were still six people, but this time Osaba hit the unfortunate guy with a broken bone, and before boarding the plane, Shepard had people carry two large boxes of explosives from the weapons depot. .
"We won't rob this time!"
On the plane, Shepard, sitting on the explosive box, told the team about his battle plan.
"The opponent's convoy is huge and there are a lot of guards. Even if we muddy the waters and let the black men come to fight, we can't rob all the trucks. So, instead of hijacking the trucks this time, we will just blast them!"
"If we blast it directly, there won't be enough explosives!"
"Enough, we are not the main force this time, the explosives are just a signal!"
Because the connection between the attack and Shadow Company could not be exposed, the helicopter dropped a few people 60 kilometers away and made another round trip, bringing a lot of food supplies and heavy machine guns over, and Osaba was not free either. So, he took the money and went to a nearby town to buy a truck that was in pretty good condition. It also came with two barrels of gasoline. It can only be said that having a local snake is really convenient.
Then a few people got into the truck and headed towards their destination. Unlike the scene in the Shadow Company-controlled area to the south where everything was flourishing, the farther northwest they went, the more vegetation washed away, and the forest quickly disappeared and was replaced by There are grasslands and rolling hills, and the road conditions here are much better than in the south. At least there are no big holes on the roads that can be used as swimming pools.
Before coming, Shepard had carefully studied the military maps drawn by the Belgians. They not only contained detailed scales and precise distance descriptions, but also contained many annotations made by the previous owners of the maps. Shepard, who is an educator, also has two skills. He can understand the map and work carefully. Therefore, he searched for a long time before he found a section on the map that was suitable for hands-on work. However, the specific situation required on-site investigation. Conclusions can only be drawn later.
At times like this, Shepard missed the convenient investigation methods of later generations. Only a few drones were needed to quickly survey a large area. Unlike now, he had to use his own feet to measure it on the ground.
However, the result of a carefully prepared plan would not be too bad. When the car drove to this area that had no name on the map, Shepard found that the terrain here was surprisingly good.
There are no high points here except for a several kilometers long continuous rolling hills lying on the grassland, and a simple kilometer just extends from a distance to the foot of the hills, and then extends further away. , and on both sides of the hilly bag belt, there are two rivers. Because the river flow will be much less during the dry season, Shepard does not know how wide they are, but it is definitely not deep, because the truck can easily wade through the water.
"This is it!"
Shepard was very satisfied. The vertical height of this 100-meter-wide hill was about 30 meters, and a considerable part of the area close to the road was nearly vertical. If you wanted to go up the mountain, you would have to go around in a big circle. It was easy to defend but difficult to attack. A great place, but the only problem is that there is no water, and if you are besieged, you will die.
After selecting the ambush area, it was time to set up the ambush firepower. This time Shepard prepared for the whole job. He brought an M2 Laoganma heavy machine gun and a thousand rounds of ammunition. In addition, there were enough Sixty kilograms of explosives, this amount of firepower was enough to kidnap Nixon, let alone ambush a transport convoy.
"Osaba, go hide the car behind the mountain!"
Shepard set up his telescope on the top of the mountain and was already planning how to inflict heavy damage on his opponent. The two rivers gave him the answer he wanted. He planned to wait for the convoy to cross the second river, attack the leading vehicle to paralyze it, and then attack The trucks on the first river waited until both sides were paralyzed and unable to move, and then detonated the explosives planted along the road.
Considering that this section of road is nearly two kilometers long, 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 dispersed as possible, even on the grass under the roadbed. At this time, Shepard was considering whether the detonation wire he carried was long enough.
But even if it wasn't long enough, it was too late. It had already taken them a day to arrive here, and they might not have time to dig a hole in the remaining day, let alone move supplies. However, explosives were not the last resort, and even their ambush was not important, because The main force of this attack has never been the Shadow Company. All Shepard and the others have to do is to hold back the convoy, because the big one is already on the way!
The real killer move came from the rumors that had been spreading before. The black uncles who had received Shepard's dollars were spreading rumors like crazy, saying that United Mining was planning to transport a whole batch of refined gold away because of the deteriorating public security situation. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, although the black uncles are poorly equipped, they have a good appetite. According to Osaba, he knows that there are more than a dozen armed groups that want to participate. They are the real protagonists of this scene. Shadow Company is just a useless tool.
“It’s time to give Europeans a little African shock!”
