Chapter 93 Surprisingly Revealed Congo’s Tunnel Tactics

The leader of the Lions Regiment, Denis Sassou, turned to look at Zhao Jianjun, who was speaking for the first time, frowned, and asked aloud: "Mr. Zhao, what do you think?"

Before Mayor Redsey gave the order, Zhao Jianjun, Li Yongbin and others did enjoy the treatment of the observation group in the army. Not only did they have food and accommodation in accordance with officer standards, but they also had the right to enter and exit the command room and observe combat reports.

Because Redsey's house arrest of Zhao Jianjun and Li Yongbin and others were "political means." From the perspective of the army, Zhao Jianjun and others did have the status to speak.

Although they were mute for a week, they often sent people to the front lines to survey maps and observe positions.

As a soldier, "Deni Sassou" can smell the scent of his peers, and as a local, he cannot ignore the opinions of foreigners.

His company could not take Kananga's outer position in a short period of time. "Deni Sassou" was also a little unhappy, but the position was at the foot of the mountain and was inconvenient to expand in order to reduce casualties.

He can only use stupid methods to advance slowly.
"Soil work!"

Zhao Jianjun stepped forward and said: "Start five hundred meters in front of the position, dig a tunnel, cover it with wooden boards, go out to twenty meters in front of the position, launch a direct charge, and win the position in one go."

"Deni Sassou" frowned even more tightly: "What is soil work?"

Zhao Jianjun was so angry that he wanted to curse, so he led a group of officers from the headquarters to the door, found a shovel and dug a hole, pointed at the hole on the ground, and said, "Dig the soil, you idiot!"

Denis Sassou and a group of officers fell into deep thought.

Zhao Jianjun grabbed a handful of dirt and said: "The soil in Kananga is sparse, which is suitable for tunnel operations. Use the tunnel to seize the front position, then continue digging to a distance of fifty meters from the security guard, and use RPG to send them back to the west."

Although "Deni Sassou" had served as a soldier in Belgium, he was only a top soldier. He had never even attended a military school and had never heard of civil engineering work.

But his long military career gave him the ability to think. After a little thought, he felt that he could give it a try, but there was still a question: "Mr. Zhao, after capturing the first position, how do you capture the second position?"

"The Bantu armed forces have laid mines in front of the second position, and they have five Type 92 infantry guns, which can cover the second position with firepower."

Zhao Jianjun was really helpless. If he were in the old army, one company could easily retake the mining area, and tactics such as night raids and infantry-tank coordination could be used. However, the Congolese army's equipment was too poor and many tactics were difficult to implement.

There was basically no team coordination and the organization could not organize an effective charge.

"Keep digging!" Zhao Jianjun had to formulate tactics for them: "After capturing the first position, dig cat-ear holes in the position to avoid the infantry artillery in the second position. Try to reduce casualties, use slow methods, and spend a few more days Dig into the second position.”

"If the rebels organize a counterattack during this period, bring out the 60mm mortars and blast them!"

"Dig into the mining area bit by bit, fighting hand to hand, but you can't defeat the opponent with numbers?" Zhao Jianjun said unbelievingly: "It will take another five days at the earliest, not seven days, how can we take down the mining area!"

"Deni Sassou" listened to the interpreter's explanation and exclaimed: "Seven days?"

"It's a little slow." Zhao Jianjun sighed.

"I don't believe it can be so fast!" The newly defeated 1st company commander was very unconvinced. He stared at Zhao Jianjun with a hostile look on his face.

Zhao Jianjun was not angry, and said with a smile: "Leave the engineers to me to command. If you can't take them back in seven days, I will give you my head to play with."

"Mr. Zhao, we don't have engineers." Denis Sassou suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It wasn't that the government army didn't know the role of engineers, but it was because they didn't even have two bags of cement. Why did they set up a company of engineers specifically? Zhao Jianjun's expression did not change at all, and he said calmly: "I've seen earlier that you don't have engineers. As long as you can dig the soil, you won't even have a shovel, right?"

"it is good."

Denis Sassou said: "Mr. Zhao, I accept the suggestion of the observation team and put a company of troops under your command. As long as we can successfully recapture the Kananga mining area, all the captured enemy soldiers will be given to you as slaves."

"Mr. Zhao can buy as much as he wants from the supplies in the mining area."

If things pass through the hands of the army, who dares to trace the original amount?

Zhao Jianjun's eyes suddenly became a little fiery. He looked at Li Yongbin and Wen Youtian. All three of them nodded in unison. There was no doubt that they were attracted to the diamond.

That afternoon.

Eighteen veterans came out in person, each leading a squad, to teach the Congolese soldiers step by step how to perform tunnel operations.

Although the soldiers have never received engineering training, civil engineering is a special skill of the Chinese. The old-timers rely on this unique skill to fight against the devils and the devils with great success.

The Bantu rebels were surprised to find that the government troops in front of Chen Bing's position became mute and did not launch an attack all day.

They had never seen what tunnel warfare was. When they sent out scouts to learn that the government troops were digging tunnels, they didn't know why. They tried to send a small group of troops to attack, but they were quickly repelled by the firepower of the government troops.

The Bantu defenders were already small in number and had no advantage in rushing out of their positions. They were caught in a dilemma and had no choice but to sit back and wait for death in order to defend the Kananga mining area.

There are more than 50 ethnic groups in Congo, with a population of more than 30 million, and ethnic conflicts are fierce.

The Bantu rebels are actually not stragglers, but a national force that serves the Bantu and is supported by many local tribes. The political goal is to recapture the central and western provinces, the ethnic habitat since ancient times.

The "Congolese" officially declared by Congo is not recognized by all ethnic groups. The Bantu account for more than 70% of Congo's population and are the second largest ethnic group in Africa, with influence across Rwanda, South Africa and other countries.
It is no surprise that they occupied the Kananga mining area for diamond income. As long as they can occupy it for a long time and build permanent fortifications, the Bantu armed forces are capable of controlling the production of the mining area.

three days later.

Denis Sassou saw that the tunnel was getting closer and closer to the position, but the rebels were unable to do anything. He couldn't help but feel excited and kept the secret of digging in his heart.

After consulting the leadership of the observation group, he issued an attack order at three o'clock in the night and launched the Lions' first night attack!
"Da da da."

"Da da da."

Gunfire rang out on the front line, and tunnel tactics from China appeared for the first time on the African battlefield. They made a splash in the first battle and taught the Congolese army a hard lesson.

Zhao Jianjun looked at the front line with a telescope at the headquarters and saw government troops hiding in the tunnel. He shivered a few times and climbed out of the tunnel in a panic. His movements were terrible, but fortunately the defenders on the opposite side were better than the government troops. The army was even more panicked.

Because they never expected that black rats would emerge from the tunnel in front of the position in the middle of the night, and the battle ended successfully in less than half an hour.

　Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 will be at night today. Yesterday I was a bit stuck. This was the first time Junzai wrote about the plot of overseas mercenaries. The writing was definitely not very brilliant. However, the beginning of the book has elements that anchor the mercenaries. I still have to write it and strive to write the better. . But Kavin is real, the code is a bit slow, sorry for that.
