Chapter 1310 Kagmar

……

"Ahmod, what did you just say, what happened to our troops in Kagmar?"

In order to prevent him from offending Liu Dong again, Fastino Balde hurriedly asked.

"They were suddenly attacked by the local Nubian forces, and now they are surrounded, and I hope we can send troops to the rescue!"

The military situation was urgent, and since the person sitting on the sofa was not the enemy, Ahmod did not shy away from it, but his voice was inevitably lowered a lot.

"Nubians!"

Fastino Balde's brow immediately furrowed, "How many of them are there?"

"According to the description of the head of the Husseff, their number is no less than twenty thousand!"

"So many?" Fastino Balde was taken aback, and immediately said: "You immediately send my order, let the first division assemble and stand by, and at dawn tomorrow, I will personally lead them to rescue Kagmar!"

"You're going in person?"

Ahmod was a little surprised, Fastino Balde had ignored Fasher for the past few months, and spent more of his time in the heavily guarded villa.

And Fastino Balde, who noticed his expression, felt a little bitter in his heart, the reason why he chose to stay in Fasher and rarely go out was mostly to avoid Muñoz's assassination, but now this evasion is meaningless!

"If you knew today, why bother in the first place!"

With the thought in mind, Fastino Balde waved at Ahmod and motioned for him to go down and give orders.

After a respectful military salute, Ahmod turned and walked out. But when walking out of the room. He still couldn't help but glance at the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.

In his impression. The Commander had never had such a friend by his side. And. How the other party entered the commander's room through the tight lockdown around the villa had always been something Ahmod wanted to figure out.

But obviously, without Fastino Balde taking the initiative, he may have little hope of solving the doubts in his heart.

"Looks like you have a pretty loyal subordinate!"

In the face of Liu Dong's words, Fastino Balde smiled and nodded.

Liu Dong knew that the impact of the original betrayal had not disappeared from the bottom of his heart, so he changed the subject, "What's going on with the Nubians?"

Fastino Balde was shaken. Hurriedly said: "The Nubians are the main ethnic group in the Kordofan region of the central part of the Republic of Sudan, they do not live in cities, but live in tribes, forming three powerful tribes, from north to south are the Zuma tribe, the Wadani tribe and the Muruk tribe! Among them, the Zuma tribe in the north is the most powerful, and they believe in Mu*srin, they are brave and warlike, and almost control most of the northern Kordofan and northern states of Sudan. Firmly blocked our expansion to the east. Moreover, we have fought them more than a dozen times to fight for the gold mines in the Fabayi valley north of Kagmar!"

"What about the reserves of this gold mine?" asked Liu Dong.

"A rough estimate is that at least 600 tons of gold can be refined!"

"600 tons? It seems that this place really can't be given up!" The huge interests quickly made Liu Dong make up his mind.

Now internationally, let alone 600 tons. As long as there are more than 100 tons, it is a large gold mine!

"When the time comes, I'll go with you!"

"Yes!" Fastino Balde said hurriedly.

……

The province of Northern Kordofan is located on the edge of the Sahara Desert. Due to its proximity to rivers and the high rainfall due to the climate, it is natural that the south is the main agricultural region of Sudan and has a large population. The northern part is more arid, and the desert Gobi is blocked, and the population is smaller.

Kagmar is located in the arid and humid central part of North Kordofan province. It is the Nubian Zulu people who have lived here for generations!

Although the Zulu people of Kagmar rarely enjoy a truly peaceful life due to the war in Sudan, today's showdown is particularly fierce.

Intense gunfire and artillery fire, which rang out for three days, moved from the city to the suburbs, and then slowly decreased.

By the time Liu Dong and Fastino Balde arrived here from El Fasher with about 12,000 troops of the 1st Division, it had already been a week, and the poor road conditions in Sudan could not provide effective maneuver speed for the troops.

Although the armored forces can advance quickly, the armored units of the first division have a total of only 30 tanks and armored vehicles, and they are seriously lacking in logistics support, and they are simply unable to carry out long-distance maneuvers of more than 150 kilometers.

In fact, Fastino Balde's armoured units, with the exception of a few that could launch assaults, were more likely to act as mobile batteries, providing artillery cover for infantry charges.

After listening to Fastino Balde's application of armored forces, Liu Dong just wanted to say 'egg pain'!

But he also can't question the waste of the tanks he bought with great difficulty, because that's how people play in the whole of Sudan.

Moreover, high-tech weapons without logistical support cannot exert even half of their power.

So here AK47, plus grenades and bazookas are the real royal weapons!

But these can't help but make Liu Dong, who is full of expectations and excitement and wants to see the modern war with his own eyes, disappointed!

"Report!"

Ahmod walked into the tent with permission.

"What's the matter?"

In the face of the inquiry, Ahmod withdrew his inquiring eyes from looking at Liu Dong, and hurriedly said, "We have found Commander Husseff!"

"Where is he? Bring him to me!"

Fastino Balde said hurriedly.

If you want to win a war, the most important thing is intelligence!

"Commander Hussef has died!" Ahmod said bitterly.

"Sacrificed?"

"Yes, **** shot!"

"It's a pity!" After shaking his head, Fastino Balde hurriedly said, "How many people are left in the third regiment?"

"We only found 148 people, and the rest were either killed or captured by the Zulus!"

"Bring me the highest-ranking of them!" commanded Fastino Balde.

He didn't feel much distress about the people who lost. On a continent of chaos, hunger, disease and a large population, there is no shortage of people who can serve as soldiers.

Moreover, the army is not a technical branch of the navy and air force. An ordinary army soldier only needs a gun, 200 rounds of ammunition, and three months of training to be able to pull into battle. After being tempered by the flames of war, it can quickly become an army.

It is precisely because the cost of pulling up an army is so low that it is also one of the reasons for the ongoing unrest on the African continent!

It wasn't long before Ahmod walked in with a tall black man with a look of exhaustion on his face.

Looking at Fastino Balde, who was standing in the middle of the tent, the black man hurriedly and respectfully saluted, "Commander!"

"What's your name?"

"Sivad!" said the black man hurriedly.

"Sivad!" After nodding, Fastino Balde patted the black man on the shoulder vigorously, "You are a brave soldier!" and then turned his head and said, "Ahmod, give Sivad a first-class merit and reward him with $20,000!"

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"

Looking at the excited Sivad, Liu Dong, who was standing on the side, looked at Fastino Balde's skillful means of wooing, and his heart was full of amusement!

This was the first time he had seen his subordinates, and it was quite interesting to win over his subordinates.

However, Fastino Balde's methods were indeed useful, and Sivad, the black man who had received the favor, told almost everything he knew in Balde's subsequent questioning.

Through his description, Liu Dong and Fastino Balde also have a basic understanding of the situation in Cagmar.

"What? Are you sure it's the Sultan 1st Division, not the Zulu Army?"

"At first we thought it was the Zulus, but they had too many tanks and armored vehicles, and then we realized after we were defeated and withdrawn from Kagmar that the Zulus were just a front and that it was the 1st Division of the Sudanese Army that was really attacking us!"

"Are you sure?" asked Fastino Balde again, with a solemn expression.

"Sure!"

After a moment's pause, Fastino Balde waved his hand, "Alright, Second Lieutenant Sivad, your intelligence is very important! Ahmod, take him down to rest!"

"Yes, Commander!"

After the two left, Liu Dong noticed the solemn expression on Fastino Balde's face, and naturally said with some curiosity: "What kind of sacredness is this First Division of the Sudanese Army?

After smiling bitterly, Bald couldn't help but say, "Boss, don't you know! In the entire Republic of Sudan, there are only two real mechanized troops. One of them is the Guards Division stationed in Khartoum, the capital of the Republic of Sudan! The other is the First Division of the Sudanese Army, and these two divisions are all equipped with US M60A3 'Patton' main battle tanks! Each division has two tank regiments, a total of 48 tanks, as well as 56 M2 'Bradley' infantry fighting vehicles, and 12 American-made 155mm caliber heavy howitzers! plus 24 AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters!"

"Although they are too far behind in equipment, training, and even logistics support compared to the real mechanized infantry divisions, and even the weapons and equipment are outdated second-generation main battle equipment, in Sudan, a place where military heavy equipment is rare, these two mechanized divisions are undoubtedly the trump cards of land warfare!"

Liu Dong nodded knowingly, he also understood Fastino Balde's distress, and it was undoubtedly self-defeating to use his own low armor to go head-to-head with such an 'elite' armored division.
