"Fire truck, hurry up!" The explosion on the runway of the airport caused the entire command headquarters to be in chaos.

Liao Dong's whole person was struck by lightning, but as a commander, he couldn't help but react, "Count the losses immediately! Find the ejected pilot!"

In the middle of the airport runway, there is smoke in the air.

The airport, which was originally just an improvised runway, is now cut off by a large pit with a diameter of more than 10 meters.

"It was reported that the explosion site was more than 200 meters away from the tarmac, and there was no damage to the parked aircraft, but ......," the head of the Air Force ground crew who reported to the report stopped talking.

Liao Dong suppressed his anger, "Say it." ”

"There's an explosion crater in the middle of the runway, it's huge. ”

"Then fix it! Aerial bombardment must be carried out. Xie Kai, who had never come back to his senses, said firmly at this time, "Without air support, this battle is even more difficult to fight!"

Xie Kai attaches more importance to air support than anyone on this side.

"Excavators, bulldozers, rollers and other equipment, I asked the person in charge of the airport, and even if it was mobilized from the nearest place, it would take two days. The head of ground handling said.

Liao Dong and others personally went to the runway to see the bomb craters that had been blown up.

"The 250 bomb of the strong five has such great power?" Xie Kai asked in disbelief.

"These strong fives, only flew a little more than a hundred kilometers, and almost no fuel was consumed. If the fuel explodes first, it is entirely possible to detonate the aerial bombs and the aircraft artillery shells in the aircraft magazine for the second time. The strong five, which did not have a mounted rocket launch nest, was loaded with four 250 aerial bombs. Randerser looked around the crater and said.

Once the aerial bombardment stops, Burundi will certainly rearm its defenses. The rabbit looked at Kovarrubi with a look of resentment, "General, you forcibly asked your people to join, assuring us that they are elite!"

"They are indeed elite! Kovarrubi's old face was hot, but he couldn't ignore the honor, "They all behaved very bravely against Amin's army at the beginning!"

His armored forces fell off the chain, and the front line was already hot, and it turned out that it was still more than two hundred kilometers from the battlefield.

"We should be thankful that Kabila is not here. If only he had known that his own pilots had lost three bombers......" Ibrahim said gloatingly, looking at Kovarrubi. "If we don't compensate, we don't expect to have business in the future. ”

Kovarrubi gritted his teeth and looked at him, but didn't speak.

Liao Dong glanced at the two of them, then looked at Xie Kai, who had a look of self-reproach, and gave an order to the combat troops: "Order the Jibri armored troops to stand by at the border! Inquire about the whereabouts of the Zaim escort formation! Urge the straggled armored troops to arrive at the border within eight hours!" Liao Dong issued a series of orders.

"This ......" Kovarrubi felt that it was too difficult to advance 200 kilometers in eight hours, but thinking that his air force had stabbed such a big basket, if Ibrahim asked them to compensate Kabila's fighters, more than 20 million US dollars, their dividends this time would not be enough.

"I'll urge them to arrive on time!" he said and left the headquarters.

"Thank you, these fighters are Kabila's borrowed by the mercenary group......" Ibrahim looked at the departing Kovarrubi with a worried expression. "From the very beginning, I was against the involvement of Kovarorubi's Air Force......"

The contract is $60 million......

"Compensation is a must!" Xie Kai said through gritted teeth.

This time, the river crab mercenary group exposed too many problems.

"But these losses can be caused by the fact that Kovarubi's people have violated orders and cannot be borne by the mercenary group......" Ibrahim's purpose is this.

If you factor in the cost, he won't get a share of the money.

Liao Dong didn't have the energy to pay attention to this, but discussed the next battle plan with several backbones of his subordinates.

"In the current situation, the battle plan can only be reformulated. ”

That's the final conclusion.

Without air support, more than a dozen 59 tanks with Tanzania's uncoordinated armored corps and Kabila guerrillas whose basic operations were problematic could not be fought!

Xie Kai is a little afraid to face Liao Dong and the others now.

He regrets working with Ibrahim and Kovarubi more than anyone else, but he should never let them fool around!

It's about the river crab mercenary group's foothold in Africa.

In this battle, the unified command of the River Crab Mercenary Regiment is in vain, not to mention the run-in of the combat troops.

Now Liao Dong and they are anxious, and he can't talk about it.

There was a big problem with Kovarubi's people, but Xie Kai vaguely felt that there would be a bigger mess ahead.

The Iraqi contingent of the Turkrit Division ignored orders and set off for a while.

"Now it's okay, we don't need to go out, their people blew up the runway themselves. The situation at Kigoma Air Base was immediately transmitted to an ordinary civilian house a few kilometers away from the airport, a burly black man said with a smile.

"The people of the River Crab Mercenary Regiment are too well defended to blend in, and they don't even transport supplies!" said another black man. "Let's report the news!"

"Chief, what are we going to do?" said one of the pilots on the way back to the lead, Zaim. "Are you going back?"

Leaving behind the strong five greedy merit, they lost a fighter.

He even learned about the encounter of the Strong Five formation from the formation communication channel, but at that time Zeim ignored it and even turned off the receiver.

"You can't go back! Even if you want to go back, you have to wait until the war is over!" Zaim said, "The Kigoma runway is useless and you can't land." ”

"The nearest airports are hundreds of kilometers away, and we don't have enough fuel to ......," said one pilot.

"I still remember when we were studying in China, the Chinese instructors were able to make a forced landing on the highway, why can't we? The road on the outskirts of Kasulu is flat and straight, and it is completely possible to land!"

As a result, the four J-5s changed their course to the south to the southeast.

As if to verify Shekai's fears, the armored detachment of Jabri's tanks did not stop at the border.

Crossing the first line of defense that had been destroyed, he headed directly towards Kabanga, more than ten kilometers away.

The second line of defense on the southern outskirts of Kabanga has been destroyed.

But before passing through the second line of defense, the armored tank detachment of Jabri could not continue to advance quickly.

Across the front of the tank detachment were several anti-tank trenches three meters wide!

For the 59 Tanwu, who only has the ability to cross the ditch with a capacity of 2.6 meters, it is undoubtedly an insurmountable moat.

The road ahead was impassable, so Jabri could only order to choose an area that could be passed and run over directly.

Only on the steep slope at the foot of the hill there were no anti-tank trenches, on which traces of the explosion of aerial bombs remained.

Without serious reconnaissance, Jabri directed his troops forward, and they were to quickly capture Kabanga.

"Boom!"

Under a 59, which was leaning forward on a steep slope, it was suddenly overturned by a violent explosion, tumbling and falling.

When stopped, the drive wheel at the bottom was still spinning!

"Anti-tank mines!"

The commander of the 59 tank, who was following on the right, roared in horror.

Jabri, who was in the middle of the command, hurriedly stopped the entire team.

"Minesweeper, clear the obstacles!" Jabri hurriedly ordered.

"Major, we are ...... in Africa," one of his men reminded Jibri.

This is not a fight against the Persians, who are not following minesweepers and other logistical vehicles at all.

For a moment, the entire tank team stopped moving forward and stopped at an incline on the hillside.

On the hill, 350 meters from the tank team, a small position was hidden.

Dozens of white-skinned and dark-skinned soldiers who were secretly hiding in the trenches had smiles on their faces when they saw a 59 tank tumbling down the hillside after the explosion.

Jonathan had been holding up a telescope to observe the small team of tanks and armor.

The second line of defense, which had not yet been built, was bombarded from the air, and Jonathan had never suffered such a big loss, and the whole position collapsed, but he still did not stand on his side.

Without anti-aircraft missiles, it is impossible to deal with those flying in the sky, and there is still a way to run on the ground, right?

Seeing that the plan worked, Jonathan immediately decided, "RPG waiting!"

FOUR WHITE MILITARY ADVISERS, CARRYING 60MM ANTI-TANK BAZOOKAS ON THEIR SHOULDERS, AIMED AT THE ARMORED UNITS THAT HAD STOPPED MOVING ON THE HILLSIDE IN THE DISTANCE.

"Fire!"

"Xiu'er~"

Four sharp cracking sounds sounded, and four anti-tank rockets flew towards the target 350 meters away.

"Boom!" a rocket hit the side of the turret of a 59 tank......

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The three rockets were three Type 63 armored vehicles that followed the tanks......

"Anti-tank rockets!"

"We're in an ambush!"

Four explosions in a row made Jabri's team panic.

"Retreat! retreat!" Jabri roared anxiously.

"Boom!"

At the back of the team, a violent explosion sounded, and at the end of the team, a large number of rocks were torn off by the distance explosion, blocking the retreat of the entire team.

On the right is a mountain, on the left is a criss-cross of anti-tank trenches, I don't know how many anti-tank mines there are in front, and the road is blocked by huge rocks in the back!

Jabri's team was blocked here and couldn't move.

"Find out where the enemy is, kill them!" Unable to evacuate, Jabri calmed down.

The 59 tank turret began to turn......

"With a machine gun!"

The tank detachment, leaning sideways on the slope of the hill, found that the enemy was on the hill.

There is no way to fire the cannon at all, the tank is tilted badly, and if you don't do it, the huge recoil of the cannon will make the tank overturn!

Everything was calculated by the enemy.

"Da Da Da ......"

The commander who drilled out of the turret directly operated the anti-aircraft machine gun on the top of the turret and began to strafe the enemy's position.

"Bang!"

A commander who was operating the anti-aircraft machine gun to spray ammunition suddenly exploded like a watermelon, lost control of his body, pressed against the tail of the anti-aircraft machine gun, and the anti-aircraft machine gun, which was screaming happily, suddenly stopped......

"Bang!"

Another machine gun stopped.

"Sniper!"

Jabri was desperate.

The enemy completely laid everything out and counted all their actions.

"Turn on the radio, contact the command, ask for air support!"

Previously, on the grounds that the general was outside and the military order was not accepted, he once again violated the command command's order to be on standby at the border, and even turned off the receiver that contacted the command!

At this moment, they were surrounded by people and became turtles in urns!

If nothing else, you must apply for air support.

"The second team of shrimp soldiers calls the crab nest! The second team of the shrimp soldiers calls the crab nest!"

Kigoma Command, Liao Dong and others have been waiting for the news report from the Jibri team, and hurriedly asked the communication corps to ask about their location.

Now he was worried about Jabri and they were presumptuous.

"This is the crab nest, the second team of the shrimp soldiers, have you arrived at the designated position?"

"We are surrounded, request air support, request air support!"

"What?" Command fell silent.

Everyone was shocked by the news that Jabri had once again violated the order and was surrounded.

"The Kabanga line was not destroyed, a large number of anti-tank trenches up to the lake, impassable, we crossed the hillside, in front of which was an area of anti-tank mines, and in the rear there were already blown up rocks blocking the way of retreat...... The enemy is attacking from the top of the hill with bazookas, there are snipers, ask for air support! repeat, ask for air support!" Jabri reported the news.

Command was silent again.

Ibrahim, who was still gloating over Kovarrubi, had a stiff smile on his face, but now it was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.

"Air support can't arrive, you have to think of your own way!" Liao Dong replied himself.

"Liao, you can't do this, this is the descendant of the high-ranking generals of the Tikrit Division!" Ibrahim was anxious.

At this time, I can't hide it.

"Shoot!" Jonathan looked at the distance and couldn't move, and no one was getting out of the cockpit to operate the machine gun, disappointed.

Everything was carefully arranged, but there was still an accident He didn't have the bazooka in his hand, and the current four were the only ones left in the entire Kabanga defense line, and most of the bazookas before were destroyed after Chobham used them to shoot planes.

These four were still found by Jonathan's men on the battlefield.

"Chief, it's time to withdraw, their air force support will arrive soon. One of the mercenaries said to Jonathan, who was not reconciled.

"Wait! Their fighter planes haven't appeared for two hours, maybe our people have mixed in!"

"Even without air support, we can't help it, without bazookas!" his subordinates were not reconciled.

"Report to Bruce and let him figure out how to airdrop it!" Jonathan licked his lips as he looked at the immobile tanks and armored vehicles, "if they really can't come with air support." ”

Ten minutes passed, and no fighter planes were seen in the sky.

Twenty minutes passed, and there was still none.

Jonathan personally contacted Bruce in Bujumbura.

"Air drops of bazookas and anti-aircraft missiles?" Ananda looked at Bruce, "Bruce, they have fighter planes! There is no escort, and the transport plane is just a target." ”

"There's an accident at Kigoma Air Base, and for 24 hours, there will be no air support, and we can even have Mustang P51s bomb Kigoma airfield in the air!" Bruce said.

"Forget it, let's airdrop. Yobuya would have feared Tanzanian retaliation......" Ananda shook her head.

Liao Dong looked at Kovarrubi and Ibrahim coldly, trying his best to suppress his anger.

All this was caused by the disobedience of their people.

The good situation has been made into what it is now.

This is the battle for the River Crab Mercenary Group!
