Chapter 866 Change the arrangement
Unlike those fictional ones, mercenaries are not fanciful warriors. They may be excellent in individual skills, but when it comes to fighting between two forces, no matter how small the scale is, it still depends on the tactics and cooperation of both sides. As a result, mercenaries try to avoid fighting regular troops. This is completely a short blow and a long shot, in fact, the same is true for the special forces in the troops. Fighting alone on the frontal battlefield? There is a term called fast death.
EO, on the other hand, has its roots in Africa and is very good at using helicopter tactics. Helicopters are used to carry out operations, helicopters are used to attack the ground in place of artillery during cover, and helicopters are also used to retreat in case of danger. It's simply an all-purpose weapon.
Helicopter tactics, in particular, are well suited to the African environment. Most countries do not have air defense networks at all, and there is a considerable lack of anti-aircraft weapons. And the helicopter is fast, suitable for sports warfare. When covering, the firepower is strong, and the soldiers in Africa who are weak-willed to fight simply cannot withstand it. Therefore, EO has been relying on this tactic to create one miracle after another.
But the news of the convoy just came almost made Thomas's eyes dark, what is the situation? Why is it that the convoy is still on the march, and the convoy has already lost more than a third of its troops?
What made Thomas vomit even more blood was that the battle had nothing to do with the goal of the operation, but with a local tribe "clashing"? Is there anything more ridiculous? Is it still the elite of the world's top mercenary company?
Again, only through the transmitter, Thomas only received text messages, so he had to make up for many situations through common sense. I don't even know what is actually happening. So Thomas immediately figured out the reason in his mind - it was because of the helicopter, and the convoy did not have helicopters as cover, which led to this failure.
Thomas made an important miscalculation, which he believes was the cause of his own negligence. So at this point, he wanted to continue the operation. And there is another reason that is even more important - it is simply impossible to afford such casualties, the pension has become astronomical, and the business must not be done at a loss.
In fact, EO's asking price of $3.5 million is really not high. If you compare, look at the Fredecker hired by Jing Jian, they are only about 30 people, and they are "guarding life" like bodyguards, but they still receive $1.5 million in two months. From this money, it can be seen that the 3.5 million is just a crushing job with fewer than 20 casualties.
And this plan must be successful, because the bulk is 10% of oil production. Otherwise, if the operation fails, where will the oil come from? Even the more than 100 casualties now are enough to make EO bleed.
So after much hesitation, it was not the few that were separated that returned to Foreman, but all six helicopters. After the meeting, Thomas inquired about the situation in detail and finally decided to change the course of action.
EO is ready to move again tomorrow morning, avoiding a night battle, and using six helicopters to make a direct attack on the municipality of Heilan City. The convoy bypassed the sad farm and pinned down outside the barracks, as long as the remnants of the regiment were prevented from affecting the battle. As for the situation of controlling the city of Herlan after the beheading, it was simply handed over to the tribal forces of Demare and the Speaker. If they can't control the situation without a leader in the dragons, it can only be said that God is dead!
And as long as it succeeds, EO's superiors will also take action, sending other mercenary companies to take control, mainly to control the oil fields in their own hands. In fact, like EO companies, they are more like sharp spears, and those brother companies are similar to strong shields, and they may all be similar in strength, so the situation will definitely be stable.
......
Thomas is inexplicable, in fact, Jiang Wenyi is also inexplicable, it is nothing more than that these two inexplicable moods are different. When he arrived at the battlefield, he saw that it was a mess, and the first thing Jiang Wenyi wanted to confirm was that there was no mistake, and this suddenly appeared army was really the enemy.
Seeing those abandoned vehicles and weapons, Jiang Wenyi finally felt a little relieved. Those things are all European and American systems, and they are relatively sophisticated, and these are not those African bitter haha can afford. Especially from the observation post, it was learned that most of the members of that team were white, which made Jiang Wenyi more reassured.
After talking to Bonnie and Bousanjo on the phone, and learning that it was not the movement of Fusoya's domestic troops, and they didn't know what the situation was, Jiang Wenyi immediately issued a gag order, ready to hide the matter.
The reason why I thought of hiding it and not ventilating with Bonnie Busancho was just for the sake of insurance. Because the forces in Africa are too chaotic, and there is still a "chincha" from the embassy in the city, since they don't know, they continue to pretend to be confused. It would be much easier to deny it later.
However, in order to be more safe, the farm must be on guard. And seeing the army wandering around in good spirits, the ostentatious appearance of underbeating seemed to be like a peacock everywhere. Jiang Wenyi said angrily: "Army, the target of this convoy may be Heilan City, you will take 50 people to Chinatown tonight." Be there for a while. It's best if it's okay, and if there's something to make sure we have a way out. ”
"Brother Ghost, wrap me. The army was triumphant, and suddenly there was a question, "Are we going to pull the cannon over?"
"You haven't drunk too much, have you?" Jiang Wen scolded angrily, "You haven't had enough fun today? Oh, and bring a few more machine guns. Attention, don't show that girl counselor, for fear that he will think crankily and think that we are fighting a world war. ”
"Howler!"
......
The sudden accident made both sides change the layout. And these days, Counselor Lu Yunqiang is so angry that his liver hurts every day. The conversation has been in a state of collapse, and in the past few days, those members of the provisional party committee have avoided it and directly hung Lu Yunqiang in the guest room of Chinatown.
Moreover, Lu Yunqiang could not leave yet, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also ordered him to "stand by in place" and wait for the domestic handling opinions to be conveyed before making the next step. So he can only work here every day, except for three meals a day, and can only hide in his room and watch TV every day.
And these days' programs are quite in line with the appetite of Lu Yunqiang, a diplomat. Because the fighting in the Gulf has come to an end, and Iraq has finally ended in a crushing defeat.
Lu Yunqiang didn't know that the reason why the handling opinion was long overdue was actually because there was a very important reason for the Gulf War. Opinions on all sides are very different, and the only thing that unites is shock, and they are all shocked by the high-tech war that the United States has shown. And the country can't wait to make changes.
