Chapter 634: 637

Question: how long does it take to overthrow a small African state?

The answer is: a week!

When the whole world is still shocked by the most tragic racist massacre after the Second World War in Rwanda, and when the United Nations and governments around the world are all in a hurry about Simon westero's sending troops to Rwanda in his own name, a series of military actions taken by westero's mercenaries in Rwanda from April 20 to April 26 have once again made the whole country happy The world gaped.

On the morning of April 20, local time in Rwanda, 3000 Ukrainian mercenaries, who had just arrived in this small African country for only one day, took the lead in fighting against Rwanda in the hilly area about 20 kilometers away from the capital Kigali, before 10000 regular troops sent by the government of Rwanda arrived in gutarama City between Kigali and vistro refugee camp on Kivu lake Wanda government forces launched an attack.

The commander of the Rwandese government, who obviously underestimated the strength of the westero mercenaries, made a very stupid decision.

Learning that the westero mercenaries are coming to his side, the commander gave up the opportunity to withdraw to Kigali, the capital. Instead, he stationed in place and planned to fight against the westero mercenaries by virtue of the number of soldiers.

As a result, when the 24 companies of Ukrainian mercenaries quickly completed the three side attack on 10000 Rwandese government troops, only the first round of heavy fire coverage of armored vehicle artillery, helicopter rockets and hundreds of mortars directly led to the collapse of the unprepared Rwandese government troops.

Africa is really poor.

In particular, before the 21st century, the past confrontations between African warlords were mainly based on the backward individual weapons of the Cold War era. The relatively high-end weapons were just tanks and individual missiles. As for more advanced fighters or armed helicopters, on the one hand, they could not afford them. On the other hand, even if they could afford them, they needed to borrow the power of foreign military advisers for the ordinary army In African countries that are trained in large quantities, these soldiers will not be able to use them at all.

After all, if the air force wants to form combat effectiveness, it is absolutely not only able to fly airplanes, but also through long-term and expensive training.

Therefore, in the face of the heavy firepower coverage of Ukrainian mercenaries, the eight tanks on which the Rwandese government troops rely most like babies were destroyed by the anti tank missiles of the Mi-24 armed helicopter before they could make any response. With a small amount of mortars and rocket launchers, the government's heavy weapons failed to organize any effective counterattack even when the army collapsed rapidly.

Only lasted less than 15 minutes, because of the previous Wrong layout of dense battle lines, the Rwandese government troops, who lost thousands of people in the first round of firepower coverage, began to flee in the direction of Kigali gap left by the westero mercenaries.

In order to prevent the government troops from collapsing in all directions, the vistro mercenaries, under the cover of helicopters and armored vehicles, continued to pursue steadily with a three side pocket array. Finally, in the area less than 10 kilometers away from the capital Kigali, the last six mercenary companies responsible for the encirclement blocked the "pocket" exit.

Simon's order before the operation was that he needed a war of annihilation to wipe out the living forces of the Rwandese government as much as possible.

The implication is already very obvious.

The fewer prisoners, the better.

Therefore, when the westero mercenaries completed the encirclement of the Rwandese government forces and faced with the remaining thousands of African soldiers who had completely collapsed, the mercenary Corps continued its fierce attack for half an hour before they began to shout for surrender.

After three hours of fighting, 10000 Rwandese government troops finally surrendered with less than 2300 remaining.

However, because of Simon's order, the casualties of westero's mercenaries exceeded expectations. Under the absolute advantage, 126 mercenaries were killed and 379 were injured to varying degrees.

If the collapse of the Rwandese government army is oppressed and surrendered after the siege of the vistro mercenaries is completed, the 10000 Rwandese government army will survive at least 5000 people, and the casualties of the vistro mercenaries can also be halved.

Simon didn't.

Because what he needs is a merciless and bloody shock against the government of Rwanda in Kigali, as well as countless onlookers staring at this small African country.

Simon just wants to tell a lot of people.

That's right.

Simon westero, who came out of Watsonville mental hospital, was still a lunatic at heart.

It's never been better.

A total of 505 casualties, accounting for one sixth of the total number of Ukrainian mercenaries, have been very serious.

Adam Lowell, commander of EO company in central and South Africa, was hired by Angolan government forces to take part in the military action against the rebels in 1992. At that time, he led a battalion of 300 people under EO. He cooperated with the government forces to fight with the Angolan opposition for three months. He directly fought against salabi, the leader of the opposition armed forces with 60000 troops, and took the initiative to seek peace talks, Only 19 people died in the camp led by Lowell. There were only a few hundred casualties in the whole EO company in those months.

The main force source of EO company in South Africa is the retired white elite soldiers from several countries in southern Africa, but the combat effectiveness is not as good as the former Soviet Red Army soldiers who have more than 10 years of service experience this time.As for the Rwandese government forces, their strength is comparable to that of the Angora salabi rebels, and they are all of the same low level.

However, rabbits can bite when they are in a hurry.

The casualties of 3000 to 10000505 are not small, but not many.

In fact, the main reason is that the fighting was solely in the charge of Ukrainian mercenaries, and there was no cooperation from Angolan government forces like EO.

Although one sixth of the troops were directly lost and the first battle ended, the vistro mercenaries did not return to the camp to rest. They handed over the wounded and prisoners of war to the EO mercenary team of South Africa. After completing the logistics supply, the remaining 2500 Ukrainian mercenaries who still maintained their fighting capacity went straight to Kigali, the outskirts of the capital of Rwanda.

In just half a day, 30000 regular troops were destroyed and 10000 people were killed. Even if 12000 regular troops and more than 10000 militia were still kept in Kigali, the capital, the government of Rwanda was still shocked. On the one hand, it urgently appeals to the international community to intervene and demand to stop the "atrocities" of westero mercenaries in Rwanda. On the other hand, it begins to actively prepare for war and tries to incite millions of civilians in Kigali to join in the fight against westero mercenaries.

It's just that both are doomed to be futile.

Similarly, the United Nations, which was temporarily stunned by the swift and unexpected military action of the westero mercenaries, could only issue official rhetoric calling for restraint on both sides as a matter of routine.

As for the incitement of the Rwandese government forces to civilians, the effect is almost nil.

At the same time of military action, the westero system is also engaged in a public opinion war which is respected and even imitated by many people afterwards.

The radio network of the Rwandese government was cleared one day in advance, but another set of high-power broadcasting facilities was set up in the vistro refugee camp to publicize the purpose of the operation to the whole country. Before the outbreak of the war on the morning of April 20, six helicopters that EO company of South Africa did not take part in the war flew to the whole country of Rwanda and scattered millions of leaflets printed in English, French and other languages.

Through radio and leaflets, the westero mercenaries unilaterally declared a state of martial law throughout Rwanda, demanding that all civilians stay at home as far as possible, or as far away from the war zone as possible. All civilians who rashly appear in public places, all thugs who continue to participate in creating riots, and all unidentified persons who are close to the mercenaries in westero will be shot indiscriminately as armed elements.

It's not just a shock, it's a reassuring promise.

First of all, the westero mercenaries guaranteed that after the overthrow of the current government, the new government would not retaliate in any form against the Hutu people in the country, except for committing unforgivable massacres, high-level government, national army and a small number of civilians.

secondly, the vista mercenary army announced that Rwandan's registered residence system was originally abolished from now on, and that the population registration will be re registered after the war and no racial division will be carried out.

Finally, the westero mercenaries also publicly promised that the death penalty would be abolished in Rwanda after the war. The subtext is that even the civilians who participated in the riot will not be executed even if they are prosecuted after the war.

After all, the nature of most ordinary people is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

In the face of the large-scale propaganda of the vistro mercenaries through radio and leaflets, especially after the news spread that 10000 government troops were annihilated by the vistro mercenaries in just a few hours, the civilians in Rwanda were basically shut up.

In the end, there was no response to the government's attempt to incite the Kigali people to fight the westero mercenaries.

When the vistro mercenaries arrived in Kigali, they destroyed the city's power system at the first time. The broadcasting network was completely paralyzed one day ahead of schedule. The barely erected loudspeakers were often cleared by the long-range firepower of the vistro mercenaries as soon as they sounded.

On the contrary, the westero mercenaries, in addition to the public opinion offensive of their own radio stations and massive flyers, also set up a public address system outside Kigali city to continuously publicize and shout to the urban residents.

Under the dual force of military oppression and public opinion offensive, except for a small number of civilians who fled from Kigali for fear of war, most of them stayed at home like quails.

On April 22nd, after the Rwandese government, which was trapped in a state of beast, used all the means of seeking peace from the westero mercenaries but failed, Rwandese President Theodore issued an order demanding the withdrawal of the 8000 government troops stationed in the northern city of bivenba in Rwanda and confronting the Tutsi opposition, intending to gather all the troops to fight.

This is exactly what westrow wanted.

As soon as 8000 Rwandese government troops withdrew from bivinba City, a joint force composed of Tutsi Rwandese Patriotic Front and Ugandan government troops entered the city and began to pursue 8000 Rwandese government troops.

The westero mercenaries who got the news even more decisively set out and once again fought a devastating war of annihilation in the area 15 kilometers north of Kigali.

8000 vs. 2500, still no fight back.

In addition, 3000 Rwandese opposition and Ugandan government troops were coerced by the defeated Rwandese government troops when they fled northward. They were not stopped by the main force of the joint forces of the opposition armed forces and Ugandan government forces until outside the city of bivenba.According to the statistics after the war, less than 2600 of the 8000 Rwandese government troops were left, and only 1000 of the 3000 coalition troops were left. As for how many of the 2000 killed were "mistakenly wounded" by the vistro mercenaries, the coalition troops, who were also afraid of the fighting power of the mercenaries, did not dare to investigate them. They could only declare that these soldiers were fighting against the Rwandese government troops He died.

In this war, the number of Ukrainian mercenaries killed was reduced to 81 and 263 were injured because there was no longer a relatively fierce encirclement and annihilation to block the "pocket".

However, the 12 Mi-24 armed helicopters of the westero mercenaries finally suffered losses in this battle. Two of them were shot down and crashed, and another one was hit by the tail. After the forced landing, all the crew members survived, but the helicopter itself lost its combat power.

The loss was not caused by the Rwandese government forces, but by the French army Advisory Group hidden among the Rwandese government forces who did not have time to withdraw.

After the end of the war, only 36 members of the 59 member French advisory group survived. All French prisoners, including their bodies, were secretly taken back to the vistro camp by the vistro mercenaries for the first time.

Paul carmega, the leader of the opposition armed forces, who is also very clear about what this incident means, raised an objection, hoping that the coalition forces could accept these prisoners and make the incident public as evidence of the massacre caused by France's interference in Rwanda's internal affairs. Only in the face of the absolute strength of the vistro mercenaries, the protest was invalid.

Although there were some minor differences, after the annihilation of 8000 Rwandese government troops, the remaining 2100 westero mercenaries united with a total of 22000 Rwandese opposition and Ugandan government troops quickly approached Kigali and directly surrounded the capital of Rwanda.

On April 23, the opposition coalition forces began to enter the city to launch attacks on the Rwandese government forces. After four days of fierce street fighting, on April 26, the coalition forces broke down the presidential palace of Rwanda. Acting President Theodore of Rwanda and several government officials were killed. All the remaining government forces surrendered and the Hutu regime, which had been in charge of Rwanda for 20 years, was declared dead.

According to the original plan, in order to avoid accusations of civilian casualties, the westero mercenaries did not participate in the final war, but only provided a small amount of air fire support. On 26 April, when the war ended, the westero mercenaries decisively withdrew from the westero refugee camp on the Bank of Lake Kivu.

After urgent consultations, Paul kamega, leader of RPF, who has just taken over the country, and the westero mercenaries jointly issued the "Rwanda peace statement". The core of the statement is that the new government will honor all the promises previously made by the westero mercenaries through radio and leaflets.

At the same time, the new government has agreed to allocate 2000 acres of land near the vistro refugee camp on Lake Kivu as a long-term military base for the vistro mercenaries. The vistro mercenaries will continue to be stationed in Rwanda to help clear up the remaining Hutu armed forces in Rwanda until the political situation in Rwanda is completely stable.

Similarly, under the promotion of the high level of vistro mercenaries, in order to quickly stabilize the political situation in Rwanda and further ease the concerns of Hutu civilians about the subsequent cleansing, Paul kamega, the leader of RPF, who was born in Tutsi ethnic group, also voluntarily gave up the presidency and only served as vice president and defense minister. The new presidency of Rwanda is under the leadership of RPF Basd Biqi, a senior member of Hutu nationality, took over the post.
