Atypical combat

A war movie ending with the last surrender, I am still a little bit uncomfortable when I am used to seeing the last person and never surrender with the last bullet!

The movie originated from real events. In the US-Soviet hegemony era, in order to compete for the raw materials of nuclear weapons, a political war was launched in the Congo! Among them, the ugly faces of politicians, the ferocity of the Congolese dictator general, and the courage and strategy of the Irish peacekeepers who will be cast as abandoned sons on the front lines in this movie are all fully demonstrated!

The battle itself is very small, and there are not too many intense scenes! In the face of mercenaries 10 times their own strength, it is a miracle that no one in the peacekeeping force has sacrificed!

The reason:

1. The French mercenary leader, who was also a European, left enough dignity for the Irish peacekeeping force. He tried to persuade the Irish peacekeepers to surrender more than twice, and in the end he did not rush to kill them. Even though he was sentenced to death, he was still not executed in one month, obviously waiting for politics. Game!

2. The combat power of the Congolese armed forces is indeed intimidating. In the case of ten times that of the opponent, the opponent does not have any geographical advantage, and it can't be defeated! The strength is indeed worrying!
