Chapter 68: T I A (2)

(The first update, it's another movie stalk, guess which one)

If it were not for the signing of the Nkomati Agreement between the Mozambican Government and the South African Government in March 1984, South Africa's promise to stop supporting the Resistance, the military assistance provided by Tanzania and Zimbabwe and other countries would have been struggling for much longer in the abyss of civil war, with more than 1 million people killed in the 20-year conflict between the 20,000-strong Resistance and the Government Army.

Although the Mozambican government and the Resistance began peace talks in Rome, Italy, in July 1990, no significant progress was made, and President Chissano had always regarded the Resistance's Delacama leaders as a serious problem, but because the government forces were not capable of unifying the country, he pinned his hopes on the Soviet-founded military operations organization.

According to Chemezov, they are all elites who have just retired from the army, and they are more than enough to deal with militias who have not undergone any formal military training. That's why they carried out an operation against the leader of the resistance, Delacama, with reliable intelligence resources.

Crossing through Sorafa is the Maradique diamond fields in Zambezia, which have long been one of the opposition's revenue mines, from which a steady stream of diamonds are mined and then passed through the hands of diamond black market merchants to Europe and become blood diamonds to finance the war.

The hot summers in Africa are often accompanied by sudden torrential rains, and the mines that have just been washed by the rain are muddy, and all the slaves scrub the gravel in the yellow-brown muddy water that soaks the calves in order to see the diamond of their dreams, and almost every day the slaves fall because of malnutrition and are shot for trying to steal the diamond.

Most of the people here were poor people who had been captured by resistance militias and spent dark days in this death camp. Around the pit are African child soldiers armed with rusty AK47s, with age-appropriate ferocity on their faces, staring at the miners' every move.

Gordon followed Alkasha in ambush in a nearby jungle, watching every move around the mine, this time by Colonel Kozye, who was the leader of the assault team for the raid.

"If you want to live a long life, don't touch a diamond." Lying in ambush in the grass, Alkasha whispered to Gordon, "This is a long-standing African proverb that expresses the greedy and pathetic desires of these chimpanzees." ”

Gordon shifted the muzzle of his gun slightly so that he could aim it more quickly at nearby sentries, and he looked at the children who were roaming around with rifles in hand, and felt a hint of pity in his heart. "These children are so pitiful. ”

"Pathetic? Listen to my advice, my friend, and don't have any compassion for these children with rifles, they are trained killing machines. Alkasha spat out the grass in his mouth, "Until they put down their guns and surrender, you have to put your finger on the trigger at all times, and shoot whenever they dare to point the gun at you." ”

"Didn't you wait until they fired the first shot to fight back?" Gordon asked, puzzled.

"This is the rule for underage African child soldiers." Alkasha slowly narrowed his eyes, his expression a little hideous, "These people were all on drugs before the war, and they don't know what surrender is, so we directly rewarded them with a bullet." ”

At the end, Alkasha added, "You've only been here for a week, and you have no idea what cruel things these so-called children have done, and believe me, it's a scene you never want to see after seeing it once." ”

――――

"Mr. de la Cama, welcome to the Maradique diamond mines, which, as you can see, produce enough diamonds every year to continue to buy bullets and guns for government forces."

Standing next to Dracama, the head of minerals was a sturdy black man with a very obvious scar on his face, and he was Dracama's henchman, General Morella, who was called a mad devil by the Mozambican government and extremely cruel. He planned a bloody massacre not only against government forces, but also against civilians.

"Very well, the government forces have begun to show weakness and are ready to negotiate with us, and we must have more weapons and numbers to gain more political seats in the negotiations." With his hands behind his back, Dracama looked at the busy scene with some pride, looking forward to the future when he would become the president of the government.

"Commander Moraira, something is wrong." The soldier in a green camouflage uniform ran from behind him with a communication phone, and he said breathlessly, "The sentry has alerted two helicopters that are rapidly flying over us from the southeast direction. ”

"You mean helicopters." Dracama stepped forward in some shock, not even noticing his leather shoes stepping on the muddy ground, "Hell, when did the government army have such a thing as a helicopter?" ”

Realizing that something was wrong, Dracama turned back to the anxious Moraira and said, "Hurry up and tell your men to withdraw from this place with diamonds, I have a sense of foreboding. ”

As soon as Dracama finished speaking, two Hind gunships burst out from the corner of the valley in the southeast, flying towards the mine with powerful rocket launchers. Colonel Kozye, who wore Ray-Ban sunglasses on the helicopter, said to the crew pilot over the intercom, "Don't care about the civilians below, use rockets to kill them all." ”

"Yes, Colonel." The driver, who was authorized to use the weapon, aimed at the militia who were trying to resist with the Kalashnikovs, and the nest of twenty-four rockets vented his anger at the mine below, and a fiery fireball mixed with dirt exploded in all directions, and a wave of muddy water tossed everyone to the ground.

The brilliant fireworks turned people into burning corpses, and the land favored by the rockets turned blood-soaked crimson, and those who were lucky enough to escape the rockets did not expect that there was also the care of the PKM general-purpose machine gun, and they were instantly shot into a pile of sieves. The recalcitrant ones are still trying to shoot their rifles through the thick armor of the hind.

Those affected by drug hallucinations finally realized that their flesh and blood bodies were completely unable to resist the ravages of the helicopter, and in a panic, they dropped their guns and ran desperately back.

"These people have passed the gap in the canyon to the northwest, and the ambush team should be careful not to leave a mouthful." Colonel Kozye had just finished issuing the order when he said to the others, "Sniper, Dracama is coming in your direction, we just need to incapacitate him, don't kill him." ”

"Roger." The sniper adjusted the PSO scope of the Dragonov sniper rifle, and the flustered face of the Dracama appeared on the scale of his scope accurately, and the sniper was tasked with leaving no one but Dracama alive.

The sniper took a deep breath, his fingers slowly clasped on the trigger, and when Drakama's calf was aligned with the reticles, he pulled the trigger.

Then the target in the scope fell instantly, and the people around them froze in place, holding their rifles and looking around, not knowing what was happening. The sniper didn't give them a chance and continued to shoot, and the next guys weren't so lucky, they were all knocked out of the head by shot. In the end, there was only one leader of the Resistance who was clutched on his calf and struggling on the side of the road.

"Colonel Kozye, mission accomplished." The military operatives who were lying in ambush on the side of the road swarmed up and firmly subdued the dracama, who was still trying to escape. The sniper also looked away from the scope and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Very well, I'll escort him over after I've dealt with everyone here." Colonel Kozye shouted as he fired into the ground, and the corpses of the two aerial reapers littered the ground where the Grim Reaper passed. Hind helicopters using wheel tactics circled low altitudes and fired machine-gun fire around the mine, turning the militia that did not escape into bloody corpses.

"Colonel, there are still some militiamen and refugees who have fled to the gap in the northwest direction." The helicopter pilot said to Colonel Kozye.

"It's okay, there's still troops to meet these pesky chimpanzees later." Colonel Kozye said that the PKM machine gun in his hand finally stopped growling.

Colonel Kozye put down his PKM machine gun and smiled at the small building where the diamonds were stored, which was one of the main purposes of the attack. According to the intelligence, the contents have not been transferred out, but there is a surprising amount of "blood diamonds" deposited.
