In the following week, the Shadow Company swept away all the troubled mining areas like a plow. The unarmed miners were no match for the PMC, let alone this year in Africa. In addition to performing patrol tasks, Xue Pad also conducted continuous security warfare training for his subordinates, so Shadow Company did not even suffer any casualties. The only casualties were three PMCs who had their arms bitten by resisting women and children.
Originally, if they were wearing combat uniforms, their arms would not be bitten, but due to the weather, everyone basically wore vests and bulletproof jackets during the operation. The combat uniforms and jackets were all thrown in the car, but even though there were three unlucky guys, Got bitten, but still no one chose to wear a coat.
During this period, more than a dozen miners lost their lives due to various reasons. Shadow Company maintained maximum restraint under Shepard's strict orders, but it still could not compare with a certain country. When itself was threatened, the PMCs still Will shoot without hesitation!
There were also more injured people, a large part of which were caused by trampling and other accidents. However, these people were treated afterwards and were also on Shepard's list of repaying debts with work.
After suppressing the riot, Shepard also had all the mines and equipment destroyed, and the site was camouflaged. The explosives used were for mining. In order to cover up, he even sent away the National Defense Forces before returning. moving hands.
In addition to destroying the mining facilities, Shepard also asked Osaba to contact Sacral, who was smuggling bullets for the Angolan guerrillas at the border. The latter brought back a batch of Soviet-made weapons and ammunition from Angola, and then they Under the guise of Shadow Company, they infiltrated Lubumbashi's city hall.
“For the freedom of Africa!”
The masked thugs wielding AK rifles fired at the ceiling while shouting slogans and drove away the irrelevant people in the city hall. The staff who were fishing inside and the passers-by who came to rub the fans immediately fled outside with urine on their butts. , some people even panicked and jumped from the second floor. They fell and screamed, but they still struggled to escape.
The police who heard the news tried to do something. As a result, after their shabby police cars were shot with AK rifles, the police disappeared into the streets at a faster speed.
Logically speaking, when such a case occurred and the police quickly fled the scene, a riot was inevitable. But just before the riot was about to occur, the National Defense Forces took over the city with thunderous force and surrounded the city hall and The militants confronted each other.
As a result, except for the city hall, order was maintained in other places in Lubumbashi. However, due to the powerful automatic firepower of the militants, the National Defense Forces were unable to conduct an effective confrontation and could only request the support of Shadow Company again.
Immediately, the heavily armed PMCs rushed to the scene in armored vehicles. After several hours of confrontation and shouting, Shepard, who was personally commanding the front line, ordered a storm.
Immediately, the PMCs began a strong attack under the cover of the M20 armored reconnaissance vehicle equipped with twin M2 heavy machine guns. The heavy machine guns fired at the stone outer wall of the city hall, leaving large holes in the wall, and the PMCs were also incomparable. They bravely formed an attack formation and rushed all the way to the wall of the city hall. Then they kept throwing grenades into the house and used explosives to blast the outer wall. No one knew how many enemies were annihilated, but the huge momentum shocked the whole country. The civilians of the city now know that something happened at the city hall.
After an hour of storming, the PMCs entered the building and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the enemy. During this period, stretchers continued to carry the wounded away, and new PMCs continued to join the battlefield. In short, after a difficult battle, Shadow Corporation wiped out all the armed thugs.
Although the city hall was recaptured, the fierce exchange of fire still inevitably caused irreparable damage to the city hall and the archives stored there, especially the files related to the mining data of Katanga Province. These files without backup were forcibly taken by the government at that time. Confiscated from foreign-funded companies, it contains detailed records of relevant mining areas, mineral distribution and other information. The destruction of these information means that nearly one-third of the mines in Katanga Province need to be re-registered. There are also large areas of land that need to be re-explored.
But in general, it was all worth it. After all, the riots that spread across the province were completely suppressed after this attack, and the culprits who participated in the riots were also shot.
Senerio even held an on-site meeting, allowing many people to watch with their own eyes the Wehrmacht soldiers dumping the bodies tightly wrapped in body bags into the river.
Subsequently, Senerio provided Kinshasa with a detailed report, which described in detail the handling of the riots and the performance of the National Defense Forces.
The colonel who took the lead in the charge many times, the colonel who rescued the wounded soldiers with his shoulders and hands when the soldiers were injured, the colonel who was shot and fell into coma, but still encouraged the soldiers of the National Defense Force to march forward bravely before falling down. In short, this report even hurts people first. It was sent to Kinshasa and presented to Mobutu.
The president, who has the highest level of education in Africa, has no interest in this report with a disjointed preface and follow-up. However, Senerio did indeed complete the task, and struck hard to eliminate the troublemakers, and also fought Hundreds of anti-government militants were killed, and his rule was indeed maintained.
Then those who deserve rewards must be rewarded. As for punishment, the unlucky mayor was sentenced to overseas exile by Mobutu because he surrendered the city hall immediately.
Then, another report on the losses in the mining area was sent to the so-called Minister of Industry.
When he learned that his several mines had suffered heavy losses due to uncooperative people, the minister, who had only been in office for less than three months, immediately couldn't sit still. After all, the purpose of being an official is to make money, and now he is making money. The channel is gone, how can he not be anxious?
Therefore, the minister immediately took his cronies and prepared to go to Katanga Province to find out.
As soon as the minister set off, an inconspicuous truck stared at him.
"That guy's off!"
In the cab of the truck, a guy dressed as a local, but with a yellow complexion, his whole face wrapped in a scarf, said vaguely to his companion.
"Follow him! The boss has told us not to let him reach Lubumbashi alive!"
The companion sitting in the co-pilot was also dressed in the same way, and his eyes were fixed on the motorcade ahead.
"If brothers want to get rich, they have to start with him, so there can be no problems!"
