The composition of the mercenaries hired by the Belgian government is complex, most of them are from Germany, but some are from Russia, France, the United States, and even a few of them are from the United Kingdom.

Regardless of the fact that most of these countries are hostile to each other on weekdays, but in the mercenary army, these people maintain a high degree of harmony and unity, they have no nationality, no identity, and come to the Belgian Congo from all over the world for the purest goal.

Every three days, the Antwerp company would contact the mercenaries, and if the mercenaries needed supplies from the Antwerp company, the next day the Antwerp company would deliver the supplies to a hotel on the outskirts of Lubumbashi, where it was not clear whether the mercenaries were stationed or not.

This is mostly a suspicious formation, Roque doesn't believe that the mercenaries will be so simple, but a team of close to 100 people, it is impossible not to leave any traces, knowing that the mercenaries are near Lubumbashi, Lala's people naturally have a way to find out the mercenaries.

On December 31, Lala's men reported back that the mercenaries were not stationed in Lubumbashi, but in Kiniama.

Each time the mercenaries were reinforced, they were embarkated from Lubumbashi and taken to Kinyama, 90 kilometres away from Lubumbashi, which had been a Antwerp trading house that had been abandoned last year following the conflict between Nyasaland and the Congo Free State.

It should be emphasized that Kinyama is only 10 kilometers from the border and more than 50 kilometers from the place where the attack took place, and with the waterways that run through Belgian Congolese territory, mercenaries can easily launch attacks from any point within a 100-mile radius.

"That's the specific situation, the mercenaries are no more than a hundred, they are armed with rifles and two Maxim heavy machine guns, and a small number of explosives, they have hired an unknown number of guides and people when they first arrived in the Belgian Congo, no one knows whether these guides and people are still alive, D Company is ready to go, set off tonight, Lala's people will cooperate with you to surround Kinyama, kill them all, and then hang all the corpses, this battle does not need to be left alive." What Anton needs now is a strong deterrent, it doesn't matter whether there is a confession or not, the Belgian government is the real culprit behind it, first deal with these mercenaries, and then the account will be slowly settled with the Belgian government.

"Understood!" Wei Zhen, who had already changed into civilian clothes, was full of murderous spirit, and in the past few days, D Company has been training frantically up and down, and he can't take revenge for a day, and the officers and men of D Company are holding back a fire in their hearts.

That night, all 131 men of Company D crossed the border into the Belgian Congo.

There are countless dangers hidden in the rainforest at night, and the creatures in the water are especially active, but this does not have much impact on the officers and men of D Company, who are not on the simple bamboo rafts and wooden boats, but on the water police boats equipped by the Nyasaland Marine Police, these water police boats will send D Company to the vicinity of Kiniama, and then the officers and men of D Company approach Kinyama on foot, in the rainforest, there is no need to worry that the mercenaries will be alarmed by the sound of the engine, and the distance is more than 100 meters, and the sound of the engine is basically not heard.

The early morning in Kiniama was peaceful, and the smooth sailing of this period gave the mercenaries a false impression, as if the northern Rhodesian division was nothing more than that, compared to the average colonial servant army, the strength of the white people was still very psychologically superior to the colored people, and this would not change because of one or two defeats.

Of course, there should still be vigilance, and the mercenaries still have sentries outside the business inn, and the specifications of the sentries are still a combination of open and dark sentinels, but those dark sentinels can't escape the detection of Lala's men, before that, Lala's subordinates have been monitoring Kinyama for two days, and even the rules of the sentinel's change of guard have been figured out.

If it weren't for the guide's guidance, Wei Zhen would never have believed that there were still more than a hundred people living in the burned down inn.

When conflict broke out between Nyasaland and the Congo Free State, Lala's men captured the southern salient of the Congo Free State and captured Lubumbashi, which was burned by Lala's men at that time.

The entire barn is quite large, except for the dormitories and warehouses, there are a few stone buildings that cannot be burned down, and now the mercenaries live in the few stone buildings that remain, and these mercenaries do not come into contact with anyone except for contact with the Antwerp Company and the dispatch of scouts to Nyasaland.

Shortly after they arrived in Kinyama, it was customary for the mercenaries to send scouts to Nyasaland.

"Machine guns ready, take out the scouts first, and then launch an attack on the Merchant Inn, as we were trained, first grenade bombardment, then use incendiary bombs to clear the way, take out anything that can breathe, and leave no room alive!" Wei Zhen did the pre-war mobilization again.

"Leave no mouth alive!"

More than a dozen officers wore oil paint on their faces, wore a variety of clothes, and the weapons they used had been replaced with Martini Henry and Kimberly revolvers, and now only Britain was equipped with Lee Enfield in the world, and all the weapons of other countries were single-shot rifles, and the strength of Britain was directly reflected in all aspects.

The grenade launcher that Company D is now equipped with is not a 40 mm rapid-fire gun, nor is it a grenade that can be fired directly from the barrel, but a new grenade launcher based on the principle of a revolver.

The shape of this grenade launcher is an enlarged version of the revolver, the front and rear of the magazine have handles, and the ammunition capacity is ten 40mm grenades, compared with the 40mm rapid-fire gun, although the effective distance is a little shorter, and the ammunition capacity is also a little less, but the power is not reduced at all, and it is definitely a big killer that accompanies infantry action.

Now the company of the northern Rhodesia division, this grenade launcher named "super revolver" has been equipped to the platoon level, and in the future, the northern Rhodesia division will be equipped with the super revolver to the squad level, and together with the light machine gun, the basic firepower of the squad is constituted, coupled with a large number of accurate shooters, the firepower configuration of the northern Rhodesia division is not to mention in this era, even during the Second World War.

As for the incendiary bomb, it is very easy to develop this thing, that is, the chemical industry in Nyasaland is not developed enough, otherwise Roque can easily match the incendiary bomb.

As for how to match, sorry, this is a military secret in Nyasaland.

Compared with the northern Rhodesian division, the mercenaries were much more poorly equipped, not to mention the police boats, they did not even have steam power, and they could only rely on manpower to enter Nyasaland in wooden fishing boats for reconnaissance.

The mercenaries really didn't expect that Nyasaland's counterattack would come so quickly, with eight people in two fishing boats, everyone rowing hard, and no one was on guard at all.

Wei Zhen gestured, the heavy machine gun shooters who were on standby pushed the bullets and loaded, and the four soldiers with the best bomb throwers each had an incendiary bomb and were ready around the corner of the river.

The mercenaries didn't communicate with each other, and the fishing boat slowed down as it reached the corner of the river, and just as it turned the corner, four black incendiary bombs flew almost simultaneously.

It must be said that these mercenaries are also good hands, they all have a lot of combat experience and react much faster than ordinary people.

Before the incendiary bomb landed on the ship, a mercenary picked up the oars and pumped directly at one of the incendiary bombs.

This used to be a very correct way to deal with it, but now it is not possible, when the oars are drawn to the incendiary bomb, the incendiary bomb is not directly pulled away, but explodes directly in the air, and the fierce flames instantly swallow the entire fishing boat, and the mercenaries almost didn't even have time to scream, so they jumped directly into the river.

Jumping into the river can't change their fate, the reason why the incendiary bomb is vicious is because even in the water, the incendiary bomb can still continue to burn, Nyasaland has natural rubber, and the incendiary bomb made is almost the same as napalm, in fact, for these mercenaries, the best way to get rid is to commit suicide directly, so that although it can not change the final result, the process will be much more humane.

The people of this era lack the understanding of incendiary bombs, and the mercenaries can be regarded as well-informed, but they still don't know that there are such vicious weapons in the world, so the eight mercenaries almost didn't even have a chance to shoot to warn, so they struggled to sink directly to the bottom of the river, and the two fishing boats were quickly burned to the bottom of the river.

"Let's get moving!" Wei Zhen has no mercy, this is how the enemy should be treated, if the officers and soldiers of the Northern Rhodesia Division fall into the hands of the mercenaries, the mercenaries will also torture the officers and soldiers of the Northern Rhodesia Division to death, no one has to pity anyone, in this world, it is too late to pity themselves.

In addition to the outlying sentinels who had been resolved, there were only three or five guards left near the merchant inn, and the two officers who had just sent the scouts had not yet left the dilapidated improvised trestle, leaning against the railing by the trestle, smoking and chatting.

One of the officers seemed to smell something, and frowned and looked in the direction where the smell was wafting from.

The other officer also seemed to notice, but his expression seemed to be a little enjoyable, but soon, the officer realized what was happening.

Before he had time to throw away the cigarette in his hand, and before he had time to warn, the officer was directly hit by the whistling bullet, and the powerful kinetic energy of the bullet penetrated the officer's body, and the size of the wound was a coin when viewed from the front, but the wound that broke out was already the size of a teacup, and the officer fell into the river without saying a word, and the guards above the ruins of the merchant finally discovered the abnormality.

Bang!

In the silence of the rainforest, the sound of gunfire is dull, a flock of birds is startled, and the rainforest is full of sparse sounds, which are instinctively avoided by animals.
