Part 3: Rising Africa Section 4 You're still a kid

After leaving the city of Taudegnini, Lei Dong felt his heart pound soon after entering the Mauritanian mirror, as if he had been stared at by a fierce beast in the desert, looking at the yellow sand raised by the car, and the same dry scenery, but he didn't notice anything special.

"The convoy maintains its current speed, and the battlefield radar is turned on." Lei Dong still maintained a cautious habit.

Zhang Baogen anxiously waited for the intelligence feedback of the radar vehicle on the command vehicle, but after a period of busyness, there was still no suspicious target on the radar screen, and the battlefield radar of the convoy was a long-range early warning radar, and the movement of enemy troops, vehicles and artillery within a range of 20~30 km, the activities of individual soldiers within a distance of 7 km and the activities of low-altitude aircraft at a distance of 15 km could all be reflected.

Lei Dong did not relax after receiving the report, but became more and more worried, feeling that the danger was getting closer and closer, if it was just a feeling of voyeurism just now, now the wolf has pounced. Lei Dong looked at the desert again and said, "The single vehicle turned off on the spot, covered with a protective canopy, and the double vehicle turned on the anti-aircraft machine gun to prepare for battle, and all the radar targets came from the air." ”

The mine's vehicle number was 88 and was now moving at a low speed when battlefield radar reported finding a target at an altitude of 6 kilometers at 12 kilometers, which was identified by the computer as an MQ-9 Reaper drone.

The MQ-9 Reaper UAV is a highly lethal new unmanned combat aircraft, with on-board weapons including 2 GBU-12 laser-guided bombs and 4 AGM-114 Haierfa air-to-surface missiles, as well as 227 kg (500 lb) Joint Direct Attack Munitions and 113.5 kg (250 lb) small-diameter bombs. In particular, the AGM-114 "Haierfa" air-to-surface missile has a maximum range of 8 kilometers, a minimum trajectory height of 600 meters (airborne launch), a maximum flight speed of 391.7 meters / s, and a launch altitude of 610~4570 meters. With a launch hit rate of more than 90%, it can be used around the clock, and can lock on to the target in the smoke, dust, rain and fog on the battlefield.

Even if your AGM-114 "Haierfa" missile made a big splash in the Gulf War, destroying 80 Iraqi tanks in northern Kuwait at one time and thwarting the Iraqi army's blocking action, even if you launched more than 2,800 missiles of this type during the war and destroyed more than 2,100 Iraqi targets of various types, there are still opponents.

"Prepare SA-16 anti-aircraft missiles, keep the distance between vehicles. Order a detachment to strike first and defeat it. "The thunderbolt ordered. Because the SA-16 anti-aircraft missile has a maximum range of 5,200 meters, while the "Haierfa" air-to-surface missile has a maximum range of 8 kilometers, the UAV must be introduced into a pre-arranged trap.

When the drone flew over a detachment, the noise it made continued to affect the fighters below, and at this time, the hidden SA-16 anti-aircraft missile was launched, and the missile automatically and accurately turned to the target after flying away from the launch canister, and accurately hit the drone at an altitude of 4500 meters, at this time the drone was just about to descend to launch a surface-to-air missile. It's a good shot.

In the air traffic control building of Nouakchott International Airport, Colonel John watched in horror as the scene disappeared into a burst of firelight, this was the first drone destroyed by the US military in an attack on the African continent, and it was thought that this group of terrorists could be easily eliminated. But I didn't expect this ending.

"Immediately report to the Pentagon, notify the counterterrorism center, and ask for support." Colonel John reacted from his panic and gave the order, "Prepare the helicopter immediately." I went to the scene to see what was going on? ”

"Colonel John, I suggest that you sit in the command center and wait for the Pentagon's satellite image data to be transmitted before making a decision, and you can send someone else to the scene." Major Brown dissuaded.

Colonel John rejected the Major's kindness and stubbornly said. "Satellite images of the African continent are often distorted due to various complex reasons such as climate and terrain, and there is little point in waiting for them to be transmitted.

Major Brown said regretfully, "Do you want to inform the Marines?" "The U.S. Fourth Fleet has a battalion of Marines stationed in Nouakchott to protect their security on the West Coast.

Colonel John said as he walked out, "It's happening inland, so there's no need to alarm our ospreys. ”

Zhang Nanjiang was lying on his stomach in the tactical sand pit and was about to fall asleep, the surface temperature was very high, and although the heat insulation measures were taken, it still could not effectively block the scorching African sun. Zhang Nanjiang realized that he didn't want to sleep, but was about to collapse, so he took out the military kettle and poured a small sip of water in his mouth, absorbing it bit by bit, doing so in the desert can make your body replenish more water and live longer.

Huang Jiangfeng was lying next to Zhang Nanjiang, he had just swallowed a few Ren Dan, and a mint smell rushed to the top of his head, and he immediately sobered up a lot, and it was really easy to use. There are 342 people in the entire lurking force, and they have been in ambush for a full 34 hours, which is close to half of the incubation time; according to Lei Dong's estimate, if it is an American soldier who comes to inspect the battlefield, they will be almost there, if it is a French army, it will be delayed for more than four hours, and if it is a local government army, they will not see their belated figure until at least tomorrow afternoon.

The buzzing noise of the helicopter rang out violently, and it seemed to be above the battlefield as soon as it appeared. Colonel John took a closer look with a telescope, if there were terrorists, they could have stood up and fired indiscriminately at the AH-64A group with a large number of cheap RPG shoulder-fired combat rockets, in Somalia and Afghanistan they did just that, although the rudimentary RPG is not a weapon used against the aircraft, the accuracy is not high, and it is unlikely to hit the AH-64 directly, but its self-destruct device will detonate the warhead after flying 600m, A large number of fragments from the forming charge can pose a great threat to the AH-64A fleet, and it is not easy to shoot down the thick-armored AH-64A directly, but it is enough to make it incapacitated and flee in disarray.

Now it was quiet here, these nasty mosquitoes did not appear, and Colonel John ordered the swarm to land. The strong landfall air flow rolled up the wind and sand is very large, and the Apache who serves as a guard can only be pulled up to a thousand meters in the air again, just when the scene is a little chaotic, the SA-16 anti-aircraft missile is continuously launched at them, and the electronic alarm on the Apache aircraft makes a sharp cry in a hurry, but it is all over, the Apache in mid-air was shot first, and the SA-16 anti-aircraft missile is not a thin RPG, and the Apache thick armor mecha was torn apart with one shot, and the missile exploded in the main pilot's cabin, and the helicopter was first broken in two, Then it exploded in the air, turning into countless fireballs that smashed into the ground.

A landed Apache first hit a missile on the landing crossbar, and after a few bumps, the pilot wanted to pull up and escape from the battlefield, first blocked the route of the flying fireball, and then hit three missiles in a row, turning into a fireball scattered and crashed. Colonel John's plane landed the fastest, and after being hit by a missile, it was in a puff of smoke, and under the pilot's hard control, it crashed headlong into the desert, but there was no explosion.

Zhang Baogen commanded several vehicles to drive out of the bunker and let them encircle and destroy the forced landing Apache, while directing the rest of the men to clean up the battlefield, if as expected, the US army's retaliation would arrive within two hours.

"Report, all flight recorders have been found, and two U.S. military officers have been captured." The team member in charge of the summary came to report.

"Evacuate the scene immediately." Zhang Baogen ordered.

At the U.S. military base in Nouakchott, Major Brown was dizzy for a while, and now he was the supreme commander of the base, and he spoke for a while, "Report to the Pentagon immediately and pick me up at the Marine Corps base." ”

Camp Zero was in a small oasis on the border, Lei Dong looked at the little girls who were happily playing in the distance, and said to Yaya Koné beside him, "You can go too, your sister is also there with them, see how much fun they have." ”

Yaya Koné glanced over there and said, "They're all children. ”

Fainting, aren't you a child? Lei Dong endured it for a long time before saying, "You are also a child, go and play happily, and then come back at dinner." ”

"I'm not a child, I told you a long time ago that I had my period last month, and now I'm an adult and can do adult things." Yaya Koné said seriously.

What kind of child is this, so it's an adult, in the past, the predecessors of the Celestial Empire also stipulated that a girl should be married at the age of fourteen, but now Africans have caught up? It's not scientific. Lei Dong wanted to correct her extreme thoughts, "You are wrong like this, there is a problem with the concept." ”

"It's not me who has the problem, it's you, it's like this here in this land, don't use your views to blackmail my thoughts, if you don't respect tradition, tradition will abandon you." Yaya Koné rightly interrupted Thunder's words.

It seems to make sense, the customs and laws are different in each region and country, and there are some places where thieves are everywhere, and you let him go to Singapore to live for a while, and he won't dare to spit when he comes back. Do you dare to go to Warsaw, Poland for the World Competition? To give you the guts, live filming and broadcasting, but the country allows and supports it. Take the local tribes in Africa as an example, the chieftain lives called nourishing, you tell him about family planning, congenital poor communication, no matter how many dams and ports are built, they will be in vain, and they will throw money into the puddle in vain, and they will not even bubble. The way of thinking and philosophy of the Chinese people will definitely not work when applied to Africa. (To be continued......)
