This kind of bazooka has also participated in actual combat many times: at the beginning of 1989, at the end of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Soviet Union urgently sent thousands of "Shmir" thermobaric rocket launchers to Jalalabad, Afghanistan, to support the Laharabad government army surrounded by "mujahideen" at that time.

As a result, after these "Shmir" thermobaric rocket launchers were put into the battlefield, the entire battlefield situation in Jalalabad was changed, and the attack of the "Mujahideen" was quickly crushed.

The flesh and blood will of human beings has a certain ability to resist pressure in war, and it is obvious that the situation caused by the large-scale use of thermobaric bombs in that battle is beyond the limits of those "mujahideen"!

Moreover, as far as Zhang Nan knows, during the two Chechen wars in the past few years, both the Russian army and the rebels used a large number of "shmirs", and the "most brutal urban street battles since the Battle of Stalingrad" were not boasted, but some of them were blown up, and a large number of various cloud burst bombs were also used in the two wars!

......

At eight o'clock in the evening of September 3, Zhang Nan watched the first batch of eight C130 transport planes take off from the runway of the airport: three hours earlier, three C141 transport planes had taken off from the Gambia base in West Africa, and three C141s had also been put into operation at the airport in the um Tali mining area in Zimbabwe.

The company's large military transport aircraft are insufficient, but fortunately, the north-central region of Botswana is all the territory of the Tswa tribe, and in the small town of Shakawi, near the narrow border of Namibia, almost all of the company's "twin otter" transport planes in southern Africa are gathered at small airports.

There are 6 in total, all the fixed seats are removed, and each can carry 20 paratroopers - the distance between Shakawi and Sorimu is less than 1,000 kilometers, and the distance from Lukapa is less than 1,100 kilometers, and if it is necessary to carry infantry, each "double otter" can directly deliver 25 people in full armor.

The weather in the two target areas is fine, and the runway at Lukapa Airport can meet the take-off and landing requirements of C130!

This is the information sent back by the contractor who ventured to investigate through a satellite phone, and also gave a general report on the situation of the Lukapa military camp and the airport guard: they entered the airport last night that there was not even a barbed wire, and the dirt runway was okay on the spot - it was impossible to observe the whole runway, but just 5 hours ago, they saw an old C119 transport plane landing at Lukapa Airport from a distance, and it seemed that there were white people getting off the plane!

The first to arrive in Lucapa were six "twin otters", which did not storm the airfield, but split into two parts and landed at an ultra-low altitude on the outskirts of the town and flew in the direction of Sorim: by the time they arrived at the Sorimu airport, it should have already been overtaken by the company's assault forces.

Even if they are still in the middle of the battle, the excellent short take-off and landing performance of the "Double Otters" allows them to take off and land on easy roads, and even on flat grasslands.

As for the airborne troops, they divided into two teams and set up an ambush outside the barracks one kilometer north of the airfield: blocking the improvised road leading from the barracks to the airfield.

Once the airfield is about to start forcibly parachuting, these two groups of people will attack the airport garrison first, so that the gang will let the UNITA ragtag army who rushed to support the airport know how strong the combat effectiveness of a reinforced platoon of top mercenaries is!

The guys who blocked the UNITA reinforcements only needed to withstand it for ten minutes at most to get support, and the high-speed assault vehicles that would rush out of the C130 cabin could all arrive, and several of them were equipped with AT5 heavy anti-tank missiles!

As for the paratroopers who were the first to be airborne, in addition to their guns, they only landed a few AT4 light anti-tank missiles and a large number of disposable rocket launchers, which can withstand a few tanks!

......

After nearly three hours of flight, Guan Xingquan, who was sitting in the middle of the cabin fixed in the middle of the high-speed assault vehicle, fastened his seat belt, and the pilot's shout sounded in the cabin: "The battle at the airport has begun, and our plane will be forcibly landed in two minutes!"

In addition to the infantry, there are two assault vehicles in the front and rear of the engine room, and the four wheels are fixed to the bilge plate with fast strapping straps, Guan Xingquan's car is driving Lin Man, and the machine gunner sitting in the co-pilot is Liu Wendong.

Guan Xingquan took the two of them with him on this trip, and he did not command the operation, but a former brigadier general of the US military who was familiar with African affairs and had been to Angola more than 10 years ago would take full command of the operation.

Playing Africa, or the one who is familiar.

Guan Xingquan took the assault vehicle that the chief of the Tswa tribe Uvaru was sitting on as an observer, and he could also give any part of the friendly army a certain amount of fire support.

There was a jolt, the plane stopped, the rear pedal door slowly opened, the contractors on both sides opened the restraint straps that held the wheels in place, Lin Man released the brakes, and the assault vehicle that had been started slowly drove out of the cabin.

As soon as he came out, Guan Xingquan didn't turn on the night vision device he was wearing on his helmet: the airport had been completely controlled by the paratroopers who had landed in advance!

There was a platoon of UNITA soldiers, and a wooden watchtower with a vigil was killed by an M21 sniper rifle with a muzzle muffler that reduced the velocity of the gas to below the speed of sound before the airborne landing was launched.

But the sniper, who had fired from 200 meters away, quickly felt stupid: there was no need to install a silencer that would reduce the sound a little, and the friendly troops not far away had wiped out the entire platoon of opponents outside of the sentry!

The sound is huge!

There are three wooden buildings in the whole airport, one is probably a simple oil depot, the other is a kitchen, and the largest and best condition is the barracks.

The C119 transport plane was parked next to the oil depot, and there was no one on it, and the UNITA soldiers in that platoon were all sleeping in the wooden barracks!

After more than a decade of war, Lukapa's population has migrated in large numbers, and there are not many people at all, let alone entertainment venues. Except for one guy who was dozing off on the watchtower, everyone else in the airport had gone to bed early!

The boss issued all M67 shells, and distributed those equipment that were inhumane to the enemy regardless of the cost, making it clear that there should be no prisoners at all except for important targets.

You're welcome here, the assault paratroopers from Shakawi solved the problem at once before the C141 landed on a large scale: when they got close to 100 meters, a "shmir" hit them, and the entire roof of the wooden barracks was blown off, and all four walls were blown apart!

Needless to say, none of the people in it will survive!

As soon as Guan Xingquan's assault vehicle got off the transport plane, he heard the call of the commander from the earset: A company should go to the left flank of the airport to deploy a defense close to the front line of the city, so as not to let some armed personnel over there come to make trouble!

Leave one platoon to guard the airfield, and all the others go to the right wing camp to support and sweep!

Lukapa is very strange, with the airport in the middle, and the narrow area at both ends is the city, which is a few hundred meters away, and the conditions on the right flank are better, and the distance is even farther away, and the UNITA camp is over there.

Guan Xingquan yelled at Lin Man, who was driving: "Go to the camp!"

Without a walkie-talkie, the airport was quite quiet, only gunfire and explosions could be heard nearly a kilometer away from the right flank.

The high-speed assault vehicle makes a turn, and this is the departure.

Next to it was the destroyed airport barracks, and with the help of the headlights of the assault vehicle that had not been turned off at all, Guan Xingquan saw that there were many corpses scattered around: all without clothes, these UNITA soldiers like to sleep like this?

No!

The few corpses I noticed were terrifying, the skin on the head was gone, the tip of the nose was revealing the cartilage inside, and even the skin on the neck was missing, which revealed the subcutaneous tissue structure above the shoulders of the human body was very strange!

Well, it will be fifteen or sixteen degrees outside, and these soldiers who originally slept in the barracks would at least wear underwear and blankets, and sleep shirtless, which is easy to catch colds!

Just a thermobaric rocket blew almost all the fabric on their bodies away!

With the protection and cushioning of clothing, most of the skin on the body remained, and the bullet and neck were not so lucky, and the skin tissue was blown away directly!

These corpses probably slept in the corner of the barracks, and as for the vicinity of the center of the explosion...

It's all black, scorched!
