Chapter 643: Victory
Ma Liantao walked up to Jiang Xinwei and said sadly: "The entire elite company suffered heavy casualties, at least more than 20 dead, and the number of seriously injured was about the same. There were more deaths on the defenders' side, with conservative estimates of at least a hundred or more. Where the hell did these mercenaries come from? Why are there so many of them? Could it be that there are more than one mercenary along the way?"
Jiang Xinwei looked into the distance hatefully and said, "There must be more than one way." These bastards, they don't want to die for money. ”
At this moment, there was a wailing and screaming in the meadow, and the people of the South Watuba tribe, the attackers of the night, no matter how badly wounded, were shouting, even those who were not injured were also screaming. If you have to find quiet people, it's only those dead people, those corpses.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Jiang Xinwei couldn't help but feel very scared while relieving himself a little, just now he was only one step away from the annihilation of the whole army. He kept thinking about how the mercenaries had come in without knowing it, and how they had reached the outskirts of the village. Is this mercenary strong in hiding and sneaking up or because he has bought off the defenders?
Jiang Xinwei Because of the small number of people, they are mainly only responsible for the training and command of the elite company, and he does not know much about the original troops, the defenders. In his opinion, this mercenary sneak attack was so successful, it is likely that the defenders will cooperate with them. It's just that I don't know who this betrayed the interests of the tribe and how high the level is.
However, he knew that now was not the time to delve into the cause, and he did not have the right to delve into it, the only thing he could do was to hold on to the elite soldier company, make the combat effectiveness of the elite soldier company stand out, make Tonham believe in the elite soldier company more and more, and slowly spread the model of the elite soldier company, gradually replacing those defenders.
At this moment, a sharp sound suddenly sounded in the sky, and Ma Liantao shouted in panic: "Shelling! Lie down!"
Jiang Xinxu quickly rolled to the ground, and the people around him also reacted quickly, and soon lay down, looking at the black dots flying in the sky in horror.
The shells fell not far behind them, causing a shock to the earth, but there were no casualties.
Soon, Liu Changgui, Gray Mouse, and Mirihad also commanded the artillery to start a return fire, and the two sides fought back and forth, and the enemy's shells no longer flew here.
Many soldiers who were going to rest began to pursue the enemy, because there was no unified organization, and it looked a bit chaotic.
Jiang Xinwei shook his head secretly, feeling that he still had a long way to go, and it would take a long time to train these people into an elite army. However, he did appreciate their courage a little, and the chaotic team dared to rush forward.
The enemy, because of the small artillery fire they carried, failed in the attack and defense with the defenders, and the frenzied attack of the people of the South Watuba tribe, they completely lost confidence and began to retreat in earnest.
The battle is finally over.
The elite company began to gather its troops, while the defenders were also gathering, and only the villagers were cleaning up the battlefield.
Just when everyone thought that they could rest well and wait for everyone to recover their energy before cleaning up the battlefield, Tonham's order suddenly came: the northern part of the tribe was attacked by the Libyan army, and the troops were asked to move to block it immediately.
Jiang Xinwei and Ma Liantao looked at each other, and both of them felt that today's battle was unusual.
Jiang Xinwei immediately got in touch with the commander of the defenders in the north, and after inquiring about some information, he quickly put his mind at ease and said to Ma Liantao: "It's not a big deal. They are all black, their combat effectiveness is not strong, and the other side has no heavy weapons. The defenders can hold for a while, so you can arrange for a sniper squad to come over and support it. ”
Ma Liantao immediately told Liu Changgui what Jiang Xinwei meant, and Liu Changgui, who was in charge of sniper training, sent a local youth, a black man named Mu Scoop, to bring a squad of morale.
This wooden scoop was the black young man who hit the plank 250 meters away with his rifle when he signed up. After a period of training, this young man became more and more likable, not only good marksmanship but also high comprehension, and at the suggestion of Liu Changgui, he had already assumed the position of platoon commander.
Mu Scoop is smart, clever, obedient, willing to endure hardships, and is very close to Jiang Xinwei and other instructors, and has basically been Liu Changgui's little follower in the past two months. He can basically greatly meet the expectations of any instructor, not to mention Liu Changgui, even Jiang Xinwei also likes Mu Scoop as a student, and they have invested a lot of effort in Mu Scoop.
Soon, Mu Scoop left with a class, and the rest continued to rest.
Tonham was obviously a little worried about whether it would be enough for a class of people to go to support, not to mention that these people were all locals and didn't have a single instructor. But Jiang Xinxu said to reassure him, and he didn't say anything anymore, after all, he was a military layman.
In fact, when the sniper team led by Mu Scoop arrived, although the defenders were also suspicious of the ability of these neighborhood children, they soon changed their attitude and began to admire these young men and the instructors.
Because as soon as Mu Scoop and the others entered the battle, the attacking enemy was stunned at once, and there was hardly a single enemy commander who was not hunted, and the enemy's attack turned back to the defense almost instantly, and soon began to retreat.
The position turned from danger to safety.
They did not stop there, but according to what the instructor usually taught, they began to take the initiative to attack in small groups, hiding in various places that the enemy did not think of to snipe.
The Libyan army was already fighting like a scumbag, and the officers and men were dissatisfied with the long-distance attack and the mercenaries attacking the South Watuba tribe, and after killing several commanders, they did not dare to move at all, waiting for them to receive news that the mercenaries had been defeated long before they attacked and had already retreated.
This run was a whole night, and it took more than 50 kilometers to stop. It's not that they're bold, it's because they can't run.
In order to be able to run faster than their companions, they threw away everything they could, whether it was guns or ammunition, grenades or water bottles.
They were very puzzled, and thought that it was because the combat power on their side was too strong, and they had knocked out all the enemy's courage.
A black soldier muttered, "These guys are too timid, aren't they? How many shots did we fire?"
Another soldier said regretfully: "If we had known that they were so cowardly, we should not have killed so many people at that time, we should have taken our time." ”
One of the soldiers, a little bit of a little bit of a head, said, "It's definitely not our fault." At least not exactly the reason for our sniping. I guess they cooperated with the mercenaries to attack us, and when they heard that the mercenaries had fled, they would have fled even if they hadn't been attacked by us. ”
Hearing that the Libyan army actually fled like this, Jiang Xinwei was speechless, and he really didn't know what the use of Kajifi's classmates to raise these troops was in addition to consuming military spending.
He estimated that the reason why these Libyan troops attacked the South Watuba troops was negotiated with the mercenaries, and he also believed that the Libyan army would have carried out a feint to attract the attention of the South Watuba tribe, attract the defensive troops to the north, and then the mercenaries would attack from the direction of that small village.
The purpose of the Libyan army, of course, was not to wait for the mercenaries to fail before attacking, they just did not expect that the mercenaries would also fail, and defeat so quickly. They came with the mentality of picking up cheap, but they didn't.
After sighing, Jiang Xinwei cooperated with the tribal military leader Umud to arrange for the troops to take turns to rest and clean up the battlefield.
The next day, the whole tribe was boiling, and the bravery of the elite soldiers was recited everywhere, and the wisdom of the Chinese instructors and their consideration for the soldiers and villagers were rumored everywhere.
Seeing the mountains of loot and looking at the dejected enemy, the villagers' enthusiasm for joining the army increased greatly, and many young people inquired about the way to join the elite soldier company.
Soon, Ma Liantao and others selected the best of the best, recruited 80 young people into the elite soldier company, and made up for the losses of last night's war by more than 30.
Ma Liantao and the others did not let these new young people practice queues and stand in military postures, but directly let them join the artillery unit, learn to disassemble mortars, mountain artillery, or learn to load bazookas or something like veterans. These jobs do not require advanced knowledge, only physical strength and some carefulness, anyway, the calibration of parameters and other technical work are responsible for special personnel.
Moreover, let the recruits join the artillery, on the one hand, the artillery fights on the second line, and the chance of fighting the enemy head-on is relatively less, and the security is relatively higher, as long as the enemy does not attack them directly, they should not break up. On the other hand, their participation will not reduce the combat effectiveness of the elite company, and those "veterans" do not need to be distracted by taking care of them.
A combat unit does not have more people and stronger combat effectiveness, and if new soldiers are added rashly, the combat effectiveness is sometimes weakened. Now is a critical period for the enemy's offensive, and no one wants the combat effectiveness of their troops to decline instead of increasing.
This time, the South Watuba tribe seized too much weapons and ammunition, especially from the Libyan forces, and not only did they throw away almost all the weapons and equipment they had brought with them, but they did not consume much ammunition before. It's equivalent to them being convoys that come to deliver ammunition.
The mercenaries are different, not to mention that they took the weapons in their hands when they retreated, even if they threw them down, even if they were killed and captured, the ammunition on their bodies was almost consumed, and many guns did not have a few bullets left.
So much so that elite companies and defenders scrambled to clean up the Libyan army's battlefields, moving boxes of bullets, boxes of artillery shells or grenades to their own ammunition depots.
It was not until the afternoon that the battlefield was cleaned and the corpses of the battlefield were placed in the large pit dug by the captives and filled with earth.
