"What on earth is going on?" Lin Rui did not ask this question. Because he had already seen that the mercenaries who were originally in this wooden house had gotten up and left, and they all looked nervous. Lin Rui immediately returned to the mercenary station with the other members of the team.
In the lobby of the mercenary station, Alberta said solemnly, "I hope you are all still awake. Because what I want to tell you is that I have received instructions from the company headquarters and there will be an important mission the day after tomorrow. The specific details of the mission will be announced soon. I will do a special mission briefing later. What I can reveal here is that this is not a simple mission. Moreover, it is in such a dangerous period. So I hope you can stay in good condition until then. , at least stop getting drunk. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" the mercenaries said solemnly. These people were just dissolute drinkers and gamblers a few minutes ago, but after receiving the mission notice, they immediately became extremely serious and cautious, which was completely different from their previous dissolute behavior.
"Before that, I want to make something clear. Everyone knows that our current situation is serious. Two branches of the branch were attacked, and even I was sniped at the company branch. This shows that someone is targeting us. They did it secretly. But we still don¡¯t know who the other party is and what their purpose is.
Under such circumstances, I originally suggested that the company suspend various actions, but my suggestion was rejected. Because this is not realistic. We may be able to wait, but our employers cannot. They spent their money and deserve the services they deserve. "Alberta looked at these mercenaries and said, "All I can tell you is to be careful. And no matter what happens, tasks must come first. "
After Alberta finished speaking, she walked aside. He is director of Morningstar's Africa division but is not involved in actual military operations. In fact, the operations of the African Division are specifically directed and assigned tasks by one of his deputies. The deputy was a black man named Danny. After he came on stage, he began to introduce the situation of this mission. Then the leaders of each mercenary team will propose detailed plans based on combat objectives.
The goal of this operation is very clear. A raid is used to completely clear an armed-controlled area of ??a certain place. According to the intelligence provided by the employer, the other party is a group of rebels entrenched in the mountains. The government troops were unable to clear it out, so they handed over the matter to Morningstar Company, which of course was quite expensive. In fact, that place is so small that it can't be found on the map. Originally, the two sides had no intention of fighting for it, but recently there have been frequent conflicts.
There is only one reason. It is said that there is a diamond mine in that place. The mountains of southern Africa are rich in diamonds. Whoever controls a diamond mine has the ability to become a local warlord. The huge profits brought by the diamond trade are usually used to develop arms. A diamond mine can make an ordinary local army grow rapidly and become a veritable prince. So that place became the focus of contention between the two sides.
In just one month, five large-scale conflicts have broken out between government troops and anti-government armed forces. The dozen or so local villages were basically empty. The villagers were either forcibly recruited by one of the parties or directly massacred. The photos in the pre-war briefing were so bloody and cruel that Lin Rui felt a little nauseous after seeing them.
"The leader of this group of rebels is this person." Danny pointed to a photo displayed on the screen, "General Dumbizulu, he claims to be the leader of the Freedom Liberation Front. Their number is between two hundred or two hundred and fifty. Most of the weapons are small arms and RPG rockets, and it is said that there are also some shoulder-fired SAM missiles. The evidence shows that they may have captured small-caliber artillery from the government forces, but they have no supply of artillery shells. But it is not ruled out that they are taking over diamonds. After the mine, we already have enough funds to replenish armaments."
Look at the disheveled black men in the photos, holding AK47s and giggling at the camera. Lin Rui couldn't help but sigh. In war-torn areas, it seemed that everywhere he could meet this kind of guy who gathered a few people, picked up weapons, and claimed to be a general.
"The government forces have failed in several clearing operations, partly because of poor combat effectiveness, and partly because this group of rebels occupies favorable terrain. Without heavy weapons and air support, they basically can't get any advantage. Danny paused and said, "And we are facing the same problem now. In the dense forest area of ??the valley, our two helicopters can't play much role. They can only provide maneuverability, but not air strikes."
Someone among the mercenaries frowned and said, "I remember we had a principle before. No matter what the circumstances, we would not appear in areas without helicopter air support."
"I know that this will bring us a lot of inconvenience. But this time is a special situation. The employer requires us to clear all resistance in this area within this week. We don't have much time. So even without aerial firepower, We also have to fight this battle well.¡±
?Danny nodded. "This is a specific topographic map. The resolution of the satellite picture is not very high. But you can still clearly see that the small town where the rebels are entrenched is completely in the valley, and the road into the valley is dense forest. Our helicopter passed by this "The area is going to be dangerous because the enemy is probably hiding there, and their shoulder-fired missiles are too much of a threat to helicopters. So we're going to enter from this area, which means you're going to be walking through this valley."
"It's a bit risky to do this, walking through a dense forest valley that we are not familiar with. We don't know whether the other party has an ambush, but we need to know that that is their home base. Moreover, in the jungle area, due to the natural shelter of forest vegetation, it is easier for them to guerrilla Maneuver." Lin Rui frowned and said, "I think there is no benefit in doing this. Why not try to land directly on the other side of this town?"
"Because it is the sphere of influence of another warlord, and this person has a tense relationship with us, so it is a no-fly zone. Once we appear there, we will cause unnecessary trouble." Danny explained.
"Then there is no other way." Zhao Jianfei shrugged, "It seems that we can only cross that valley with two feet. What about other aspects of information? I mean besides the ones provided by the employer, are there any other needs? The intelligence we know.¡±
"Actually, there is. The employer clearly asked us to wipe out this group of rebels. But we think it is unwise to do so. If they are wiped out, where will we have any business? So we insist on just completing the set goal. , there is no need to overkill, because this will affect the relationship between us and the local tribal armed forces. You only need to drive the other party out of this area to complete the mission." Danny smiled.
