The attack occurred at two o'clock in the morning.
First, the mains line outside the manor was cut off, and the lights in the main building and attached bungalows as well as the street lights were temporarily turned off, plunging the manor into darkness.
I heard the dull gunfire three times in a row, but it was extremely clear in the quiet night.
The underground storage room had not been closed from the inside, and the hidden vent was connected to a hidden corner of the courtyard. Cao Mo and the others could hear gunshots coming from the direction of the bungalow where the staff stayed.
As expected, the backup generator over there failed to start normally. The pirates used their usual practice of creating darkness to cause greater panic.
"here we go!"
At this moment, Starlie's beautiful eyes were filled with excitement.
The low-light surveillance equipment has long detected that the pirate speedboat is parked in Lake Norquay, less than one kilometer away from the lake shore. There is a backup power supply in the underground storage room, and the lighting is not affected. However, in order to confuse the pirates, outside the underground storage room, there is currently
Only the limited flashlights and emergency lighting can be used. The next step is to urgently start the vehicles parked on the left and right sides of the main building and use their lights to illuminate the path of the pirates' attack.
Stari and Taya walked out of the underground storage room to meet with the combatants outside, preparing to organize an attack.
The alarm system with its own backup power source soon made a sharp sound. Cao Mo and the others heard loud gunshots in the underground storage room. The pirates had not yet entered the range of the low-light surveillance camera. They stood around in front of the surveillance screen.
Countless bullets can be seen flying through the night sky, like chains of fire.
Four personal bodyguards and other civilian intelligence analysts stayed in the underground storage room to guard them. In addition, there were thirty combat personnel following Stari, Taya, and Duganjie to organize a counterattack in the manor.
The hired workers and construction team workers could only arrange to retreat to their bungalows.
Outside the manor, there were four bulletproof vehicles carrying thirty combatants. Under the leadership of Little Kusky, they lurked in the neighboring villages on both sides of the manor. In order to confuse the other party, before the situation showed signs of getting out of control, they carried some
Unauthorized heavy weapons will not appear rashly.
In order to prevent the gun from misfiring while busy, except for the bodyguards, trained intelligence analysts, and Xie Sipeng, Huang Hebin, and Tubman Jr. who often played with guns, everyone in the underground storage room only wore body armor and did not hold a gun.
To be honest, when something like this happens, those who have participated in gun battles are better off. Zhang Chaoyang, Liang Siqian, Li Qilu and others all turned pale. They can control their nervousness and remain silent, which is considered quite good.
Calm down.
The police were not notified in advance, so it is unclear when police reinforcements will arrive.
Of course, I was previously worried that the Cotonou police were slow to act and not proactive enough due to their usual style. Three days ago, Cao Mo made a special visit to the police station and had a very pleasant meeting with the senior management of the Cotonou police station.
After the meeting, Cao Mo also expressed that he would donate one million US dollars to build a new office building for the Cotonou police station.
At this time, he could only silently pray that the Cotonou police could use the million dollars to overcome their lazy style and arrive earlier for reinforcements.
Tubman Jr. has contacted the person in charge of the Benin Navy
people, informed the manor that the manor had been attacked by unknown armed forces on Lake Norquay, and requested the navy to send reinforcements.
In order to eliminate pirates in the Gulf of Guinea, Tubman Security Consulting Company began to cooperate with the Benin Navy at the earliest. Since then, the relationship has been very close. Now, several senior naval officers are directly invited to serve as senior consultants of Tubman Security Consulting Company.
However, even if the Benin Navy dispatches two patrol ships from the southeastern military camp of Lake Noqua as soon as possible, it will take an hour at the earliest to enter Lake Noqua; in the proposed plan, it mainly relies on these two patrol ships
It can intercept the pirates' retreat route just right.
Of course, in order not to alert the enemy, not too many combat personnel were transferred to the manor, and except for two rocket launchers, no other heavy weapons were directly deployed.
Compared to the first time Theron Baddeley and "The Driver" came in to check out the site, the interior of the manor has made many changes to the terrain using the construction in the past few days:
For example, several shallow channels were dug between the lake shore and the main building. It was said to add to the waterscape inside the manor, but in fact it was to limit the pirates' frontal attacks to the main road from the main building to the lake embankment.
For example, dumping construction waste into the small river on the east side will prevent high-speed boats from penetrating deep into the small river mouth, directly exposing the main building to the effective range of rocket launchers.
In previous reports, the pirates in the Quekotos Robbery were described as very ferocious, well-trained, and made so many arrangements. Now they are directly attacking on a large scale, and many black figures are seen entering the coverage of the low-light probe.
Within the area, Cao Mo was so nervous that his heart almost rose to his throat, and he just pretended to be calm and stared at the surveillance screen.
In fact, the previous rational analysis was correct. No matter how well-trained the pirates were, they were just a mob.
The Evans Foundation cannot expose their relationship with pirates. They can only control this pirate force through a very small number of people. They can provide necessary funds and some relatively high-end firearms and equipment, but it is impossible to carry out formal and strict measures on all pirates.
training.
Thirty or forty pirates disembarked from two high-speed boats and swarmed toward the main building along the main road connecting the lake. They didn't expect that a quick and effective counterattack would be organized to intercept them. They just wanted to get there before the police reinforcements arrived.
Occupying the main building for a short period of time can be said to be unprepared and within the shooting range of dozens of combatants.
Dozens of automatic rifles fired at the same time. Almost in the blink of an eye, nearly half of the pirates who came ashore were knocked down. The remaining ones hurriedly fell down or found cover to fight back, but it was difficult to advance even half a step forward.
The bullets trailed through the air, like sparks blooming in the depths of the night.
Both sides found cover and fired at each other, and soon some pirates launched rocket launchers directly from the deck of the speedboat.
However, the distance from the lake shore to the main building is nearly 500 meters, and the rocket landed 200 to 300 meters south of the main building. In addition to potentially threatening the first line of defense, it also frightened the people in the main building.
There were two sniper gunners arranged on the main building, but after seeing the two pirates carrying rocket launchers ashore and hiding in the bunker, two bulletproof vehicles further reinforced with steel plates came out and rushed forward directly through the narrow shooting channel.
, fired with an automatic rifle, and threw a grenade to destroy the rocket launcher and the shooter together.
There was a more violent explosion from the left wing. Cao Mo switched the camera and looked with the help of a low-light probe.
Arriving at the mouth of the creek, a speedboat was caught in the rising flames.
It was obvious that the pirates wanted to use the mouth of the small river to get closer to the main building, but they were stuck by the construction debris accumulated at the bottom of the river and were unable to advance or retreat. Waiting for them were two rocket launchers arranged here.
Although the rocket launcher is not among the legal equipment of Tubman Security Consultants, Cao Mo believes that in today's incident, the Benin authorities will be considerate of Tubman Security Consultants' small transgression.

As the Benin police sirens roared from far away, the pirates only managed to hit the main building once with a rocket launcher. However, the rocket was very accurate and shot through the window of the master bedroom where Cao Mo was sleeping. The violent explosion shocked the people hiding in the underground storage room.
Cao Mo and others felt that the earth was shaking.
The surveillance probe was destroyed in the explosion, and Stari was directing from outside, prohibiting him and Zhou Han from leaving the underground storage room. Cao Mo could only control the situation outside through the intercom.
The fierce battle lasted for more than 20 minutes before police reinforcements arrived. The pirates left dozens of corpses behind and fled the scene quickly in two speedboats at a speed of 40 to 50 knots...
…………
…………
"We lost six combatants and 12 were injured. In addition, three employees in the manor were killed by pirates who sneaked in to destroy the equipment in the generator room. Two employees were injured by stray bullets. The casualties were higher than expected.
Much larger, mainly because I didn't expect that there was a rapid-fire machine gun hidden in the pirate speedboat. In order to destroy a rocket launcher that the pirates landed, the side of a bulletproof vehicle was almost torn to pieces by the rapid-fire machine gun. The three shooters and the driver were all killed.
Can survive..."
After it was confirmed that two speedboats had escaped from Lake Noqua, and one of the speedboats was sunk by a patrol boat of the Benin Navy, Cao Mo was allowed to leave the underground storage room. Because the probe was destroyed by the explosion, they hid in the underground storage and did not see it.
For half of the fierce fighting, the only way to communicate with the outside world was through walkie-talkies.
At this time, Cao Mo also felt a little scared when he heard Stari talking about the casualties in the battle.
In the final analysis, this group of pirates were completely unprepared and stepped into the trap they had laid. Especially at the beginning, almost twenty pirates were shot down unprepared, disrupting their position.
If the pirates had been prepared or better prepared, they would have brought in a car from the beginning and mounted a rapid-fire machine gun to clear the way. Or perhaps the rapid-fire machine gun equipped by the pirates was more advanced and could have been mounted on a speedboat to clear the main building.
It is difficult to say whether the pirates can be successfully blocked from the main building if they are within range, or if the police reinforcements are delayed for another ten or twenty minutes.
The on-site commander of Cotonou Police Station came over in shock and nervousness. He looked at the mess in the manor with an unconfident expression. He was very overwhelmed and said to Cao Mo: "Mr. Cao, the mayor is talking to Cao Mo."
Mr. President made an emergency call and he will come over soon. If something like this happens, we..."
"You see my hands are still shaking. Mr. Mayor, come here and I will ask my security assistant to see him. I hope Mr. Mayor can understand that tonight is really a difficult night for those of us!" Cao Mo did not.
He was focused on dealing with the mayor of Cotonou, and according to the established plan, he should stop arranging a meeting with Vice President Papatobo in Cotonou the day after tomorrow, wait until daybreak to confirm that the road is safe, and then evacuate directly to Oguta
