That night, Songchai was in a better mood than ever.
Moreover, good news came one after another.
Before the work ended at dark, I found two other rough stones of about 8 carats on the river beach that the kid mentioned, and the quality was quite good.
Songchai can almost conclude that this will be the Diamond Mountain for his comeback!
After dinner, the workers all left.
Qin Fei and Kunchai set up chairs outside the door to enjoy the cool air. Songchai took the diamond and looked at it again and again, but couldn't get enough of it.
Suddenly, intensive gunshots were heard in the distance. Qin Fei and Kunchai immediately turned over from their recliners and stood up.
Bruce and another bodyguard emerged from nowhere with AK47s, and Somchai also rushed out of his room.
"Where was the shot!? Where was the shot?" He turned pale and looked at Bruce and asked.
Bruce said: "BOSS, it seems to be in the direction of Gallihong..."
Garihong is located south of Bo City, only more than 20 kilometers away from Somchai's mining area. The south used to be the territory of Eastern Province, and it was also the base area where the rebels had always been.
Thinking of what William said to him during the day, Songchai felt his hands and feet getting cold and couldn't help but tremble a little: "Damn it! They started fighting just after I found the diamond?"
As he was talking, several moving lights appeared in the darkness in the distance.
If you look carefully, you can see that there are several cars, driving towards this direction quickly in the night.
Moreover, someone in the car chasing behind seemed to be firing desperately at the car in front. The muzzle flash looked so dazzling in the dark night.
"It's a large-caliber machine gun." Qin Fei said, pulling out the P228, "Turn off the lights, hide behind the house, and find cover for yourself."
Rubes ran to the house and pulled the switch.
The mining camp suddenly fell into darkness.
Qin Fei took everyone around the back of the container house and found a ditch. Everyone jumped in and hid.
"Why don't we hide in the house?" Somchai lay down in the ditch and looked around, fearing that a poisonous snake would come out and bite him.
Qin Fei glanced at Songchai: "That piece of iron sheet cannot stop a 12.7 mm caliber bullet. If you hide in it, you are locking yourself in an iron coffin and you can only wait to die."
He turned to Kun and said, "Go and drive the pickup truck to the roadside behind and hide it. We may have to run away at any time."
"Run away?" Songchai almost collapsed. He finally saw the hope of getting rich. He refused to leave no matter what. "I won't leave! Diamonds were just dug out here. That's it...and why should I?"
Listen to you! Who are you!?"
Kunchai had just parked his car. When he came back, he heard Songchai questioning Qin Fei. He couldn't help but interjected: "Cousin, I advise you to listen to my boss. He has saved my life several times. If you don't listen,
, the one who suffers is you, unless you don’t want to die."
"I won't leave, I can talk to the rebels..." Somchai said an idea that even he couldn't convince himself. In the end, he just couldn't bear to part with the rich ore he just discovered.
"BOSS... Kesan's rebels won't be polite to you. No matter how many diamonds you have, it won't matter." Bruce reminded Songchai on the side, "They like nothing more than robbing diamond mines."
"I'm still not sure if it's the rebels..." Somchai still felt lucky.
Qin Fei said: "You will know soon whether they are rebels or not."
After saying that, he raised his head towards the south where the vehicles were coming: "It seems that we turned off the lights too late and they found us. Look, they are driving towards our camp."
Sure enough, an off-road vehicle driving in front staggered towards the camp.
Qin Fei saw that the car must have been hit by a bullet, and perhaps had some mechanical failure, so he planned to find cover nearby, but happened to see the lights of the camp, and drove over here in a panic.
The off-road vehicle stopped about a hundred meters in front of the camp, and several white men in tactical clothing jumped out of the vehicle. They shouted in English, and Qin Fei understood their conversation.
They were all talking in military terms, and judging from how they got out of the car and moved around, these people were definitely soldiers, but they were definitely not soldiers of the government army. From the looks of it, they were probably mercenaries.
A total of five people got out of the car, among which there were only four mercenaries. The tactical movements were very professional. One of them used his body to protect one of the people who seemed to be the employer. Then the off-road vehicle used it as a shield and quickly went around to the ditch on the roadside.
Jumped in.
Several other people alternately fired, suppressing the firepower of the vehicles behind them, and retreated alternately one after another. The profits continued to be extremely strong. It seemed that they were all using automatic weapons with excellent performance.
The three vehicles behind, two of which were pickup trucks and one was a military truck of unknown model, were swept away by three people. The driver of the first pickup truck was immediately beaten to a bloody pulp. He fell on the steering wheel and the car tilted.
, crashed into the mud on the side of the road.
The other two vehicles stopped immediately, not daring to take another half step forward. The heavy machine guns in the pickup truck made a lot of noise, and the muzzle flames sprayed out several inches long.
The off-road vehicle was immediately turned into a hornet's nest, with all four wheels smashed into the ground. Then all the glass windows were shattered, and finally a corner of the roof was blown off.
The firepower of a 12.7-caliber heavy machine gun is indeed somewhat magical, especially when fired at a close range of tens of meters. The dust and mud splashed on the ground can scare the piss out of some rookies.
Fortunately, the other three people had already jumped into the ditch, and the heavy machine guns hit the dirt road, but failed to hit anything except splashing mud.
"Hellfire..."
Qin Fei looked at the tactics of several white soldiers and secretly admired them. From the battle just now, it can be seen that these mercenaries are definitely not ordinary people.
Not only are these people able to maximize the "Hellfire" tactics in a three-person system, but they know how to abandon off-road vehicles as cover and directly choose the ditch on the roadside. This shows that they are not only accurate in judging the enemy's firepower, but also have a good understanding of their own tactical level.
Also very confident.
It takes at least ten meters to run from the off-road vehicle to the ditch. Although this section of the road is not far, anyone who dares to deal with it calmly in the rain of bullets when the pursuers are constantly firing is obviously not an ordinary recruit.
You know, if you are a new recruit without extensive actual combat experience, if you hear the sound of machine guns behind you at this distance, and the bullets whizzing on the ground, you may subconsciously choose an off-road vehicle as a base to fight back.
.
Once you do this, the back will be sieved by machine guns.
More than 30 heavily armed soldiers jumped out of a truck parked on the side of the road. These guys were like a wasp's nest that had been stepped on, and they poured out of the truck while shouting.
However, their tactical literacy is very worrying, especially compared with the previous mercenaries, they are almost at the kindergarten level.
Many people even jumped out of the car without taking cover, squatting directly beside the car and half-kneeling on the ground with their AK47s and shooting randomly. At night, these guys without any night vision sights were simply wasting bullets.
Soon, the three armed soldiers squatting beside the car were knocked down immediately.
The others finally woke up. The leader, an officer wearing a red beret, seemed to have actual combat experience. Standing behind the pickup truck, he waved his pistol, pointing here and there, mumbling.
He said words that Qin Fei couldn't understand.
His men finally stopped making a mess and began to divide into two groups and jump into the ditches on both sides of the road, and began to rely on the terrain to fight back.
