The attack on Freetown was commanded by Zhou Yulong, and Liu Wei threw the Mobei wolf to the border area, mainly because he was worried that this guy would enter the city and kill him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

If Sreholm wants to establish a regime with popular support, he must avoid such a thing.

Because the main battle equipment could not be crossed, the first group to go ashore were infantry, commanded by five Pakistani instructors. When the troops boarded the motorboat, the Mi-24 armed helicopter piloted by Zhou Yulong and the Mi-17 transport helicopter carrying the first batch of assault troops took off one after another.

The targets of the assault were the presidential palace of Sierra Leone, as well as the adjacent army headquarters.

The Mi-24 helicopter gunship is equipped with four 70mm rocket launchers and four heavy anti-tank missiles under the short wings on both sides, as standard ground attack equipment. The Mi-17 transport helicopter also has a short wing, four rocket launchers, and heavy machine guns and automatic grenade launchers on the doors on either side of the cabin.

For the Sierra Leonean warlords, the firepower of these four helicopters was absolutely ferocious.

After escorting the first troops ashore, four helicopters formed a formation and swooped straight for the target.

Zhou Yulong left the task of piloting the helicopter to the pilots who paid for it, personally controlled the weapons, and destroyed two watchtowers with anti-tank missiles four kilometers away from the presidential palace.

Although the warlords armed with some anti-aircraft weapons, they were dominated by large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns.

It is difficult to deal with the Mi-24, which is known for its thick armor, not to mention anti-aircraft machine guns, and small-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and the Sierra Leonean warlords simply do not have such weapons.

As they continued to approach, the rockets had an even more pronounced effect.

As four helicopters arrived over the presidential palace, the warlords' forces entrenched here were crushed by a hail of bullets.

Two Mi-17s landed in turn, sending forty commandos to the ground. The Mi-24 circled nearby, suppressing the ground personnel with a 12.7-mm aviation machine gun mounted under the nose, stopping the warlords from approaching from the perimeter, and pulling up a fire barrier for the assault troops.

When the two Mi-17s dropped their personnel and returned to the transport ship to pick up the second group of commandos, the Mi-24 also flew away.

By this time, the battle had begun, and all the warlords in the city had mobilized.

Along the way, Zhou Yulong ignored the militants who fired at the helicopter with rifles, if the helicopter could be knocked down with a rifle, then there would be no need for anti-aircraft guns.

The assault on the army headquarters went just as well, only more ammunition was consumed.

It's not that the enemy is more difficult to deal with, it's that there is no need to show mercy.

When attacking the presidential palace, Zhou Yulong had to avoid collateral damage as much as possible, after all, it was Srehom's official residence in Sierra Leone in the future, and he had to pay to repair it if it was damaged.

The army command does not have this value, so naturally it will not have any concerns.

Two missiles equipped with incendiary warheads were the first to strike and go straight into the Army Headquarters building, turning the ground floor into rubble, and 70-millimeter rockets swept across the three-story building. As if he didn't find it enjoyable, Zhou Yulong let the Mi-24 fly above the army headquarters, hovered at an altitude of 200 meters, and began to use aviation machine guns to strafe the armed men on the ground who had fled.

The Mi-17s, who were fighting in concert, quickly arrived, and after dropping twenty commandos, they also joined the air strike.

It was not until all the machine gun ammunition was exhausted that Zhou Yulong let the pilot return. Because he had to go back to pick up the second group of commandos, the Mi-17 did not stop and had already returned.

At this time, the battle on the beach outside the city had also begun.

Although the militants of the two companies stationed nearby launched a counterattack, the landing force had already come ashore and built a ring of defense under the command of the instructor. The militants were greeted by a dozen machine guns and several automatic grenade launchers, and when the warlords' forces were routed, they did not even reach the edge of the beach.

Because the first commandos built a defensive line at the presidential palace and the army headquarters to block the counterattack, the second group of commandos did not go to reinforcements, but were used in the direction of the port. Only by quickly seizing the port can the main battle equipment on the cargo ship be brought ashore.

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the main task of the three transport helicopters was to deliver troops to the port.

By the time the warlords discovered that the landing site was not on the southern beach, but in the direction of the port, it was too late to prevent the troops from coming ashore.

During this period, that Mi-24 gunship played a crucial role.

In addition to carrying out air strikes to stop the warlords' armed movements towards the port, Zhou Yulong served as an air guide, guiding targets for mortars deployed on the deck of freighters, coordinating the combat operations of ground offensive forces, and allowing the assault force led by five Pakistani instructors to find a breakthrough.

In the evening, as the assault forces occupied the entire port, the transport ships sailed into the waterway.

By this time, more than 600 mercenaries had already come ashore and were engaged in a fierce battle with the recalcitrant warlords.

Because the Mi-24 made three sorties during the day and fought for up to six hours, it had to be undergoing maintenance and could not take off at night.

Zhou Yulong was not idle, and took Liu Wei's two subordinates, namely Miyuki Plateau and Komatsu Kawano, to "behead".

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Liu Wei did not let the legions attack at night, but held their positions, using mortars to fire flares to deal with the warlord forces that counterattacked.

In fact, the warlords did not launch a decent counterattack.

Losing most of Freetown in one day, and with air power and artillery, the fighting power was much higher than that of the rabble warlords.

Fighting back at night is tantamount to death.

The busiest part of the night was the personnel who remained in port, who had to bring tanks, tanks and armoured vehicles ashore in preparation for the offensive after dawn.

Before dawn, Zhou Yulong and two female warriors rushed back.

Entrenched in Freetown, General Safia, who had not had time to escape, had already been captured, to be precise, he was intercepted by Zhou Yulong when he tried to escape.

The powerful anti-tank missile blew up the armored car that Safiya was riding in the sky, and also ignited the fuel, and by the time Zhou Yulong and his entourage killed the general's entourage, the armored car had been completely burned out. An officer who was not killed on the spot confirmed that Safiya was in that armored vehicle.

The reason why Safiya did not escape was simple: the armored vehicles operating in the city during the day were destroyed by the Mi-24.

It was only in the evening that Mi-24 returned that Safia left the residence and fled with his entourage. Unfortunately, he still tried to command the defenders of Freetown, and as a result, radio signals from armored vehicles revealed his whereabouts, allowing Zhou Yulong to know where to ambush him in order to take him out.

After dawn, the armored units that came ashore began to advance.

Because Safiya is finished, and the warlords entrenched in the city of Freetown are armed with headless flies, the next battle is very easy, the main thing is to let the tanks and chariots support the infantry, uproot the warlords' armed strongholds one by one, and eliminate the recalcitrant militants.

At this time, Liu Wei received a message from Mobei Wolf.

The assault force carried by the "Victory" landed at the mouth of the Semoa River without resistance, and only encountered the first warlord forces during the attack on the small town of Sulima.

Like Zhou Yulong, Mobei Wolf personally built a Mi-24 helicopter gunship and wiped out most of the enemy with rockets.

Before dark, the legions under the command of the Mobei Wolf occupied Sulima. After letting the freighter run aground on the beach and sending the main battle equipment to the beach, Mobei Wolf did not stop advancing, and went north along the national border overnight, reaching Zimi before dawn, and occupying the ground passage connecting Liberia.

When Liu Wei received the news, the Mobei Wolves had already occupied Portoru and were advancing towards Kenema in the Eastern Province.

It is the home of General Sullivan in the eastern region and is the main hub for diamond smuggling from Sierra Leone to Liberia.

Because he did not have a sudden surname, Mobei Wolf did not take a "decapitation action", but chose to fight steadily.

Relatively speaking, the battle in the east was a little more troublesome, mainly because the front was stretched too long, and it was only possible to concentrate forces eighty kilometers inland. More importantly, the Mobei wolf was eager to win and launched an attack without establishing a logistical supply line. While the air power of three helicopter gunships and five transport helicopters provided strong support for the attacking forces, Kenema is a key town in eastern Sierra Leone and without armoured troops, the offensive must have been difficult.

Before hitting Kenema, there were more than 100 casualties under the Mobei Wolf, which was three times that of Zhou Yulong's side!

Liu Wei did not interfere with the command of Mobei Wolf, anyway, the lives of the mercenaries were not worth much.

After making sure that he could take Freetown and continue to advance inland, Liu Wei contacted Dian Bin and asked him to send the small plane he got over as soon as possible, and let Srehom return to Sierra Leone by the way.

The capture of Freetown was only the first step, and the next step was to sweep up the two warlord armies entrenched in the interior.

Because Freetown has been captured, it is necessary to let Srehom come over and form a regime, otherwise this will not be a war of restoration, but a war of aggression.

International intervention can only be avoided if Srehomme returns to Sierra Leone in time to announce the formation of a regime.

Liu Wei understands this truth, and Dian Bin knows it even more.

In the afternoon of the same day, Dian Bin took Srehom and six special forces to fly four small planes he had bought, took off from South Africa with aerial reconnaissance equipment, and flew to Freetown via Namibia, Congo, and Nigeria the next morning, where he met Liu Wei, who was waiting for them.

At this time, the most excited is definitely Srehom.

He never dreamed that he would be able to conquer Freetown and the eastern border area in one day. A month ago, he had not even imagined that he would be able to return to Sierra Leone so soon.

That morning, following Liu Wei's instructions, Sleihom contacted several exiled tribesmen.

In the afternoon, Srehom announced to dozens of adventurous journalists in Freetown that he had returned to Sierra Leone, expelled the illegal armed forces, and would form an interim transitional government today, followed by open, fair and just general elections under the supervision of the international community.

This rhetoric was naturally prepared for him by Dian Bin.

At this time, Liu Wei had already left Sierra Leone on a small plane and flew to Abuja, the capital of Nigeria. The business plane he bought was ready to take off. As for the battle in Sierra Leone, Liu Wei doesn't have to worry about it at all, Zhou Yulong and Mobei Wolf will definitely be able to handle it.
