Chapter 272: A Stalemate Battlefield
After the news of the mercenary's defeat came, the construction of this front began, and in ten days, the black people were intimidated, threatened, and did not lazy, and repaired this circle of positions, but due to the lack of machinery, the black people only built three fronts into one, even if they tried their best.
There are still two fronts in the back that are still under construction, and the blacks in front are on top, and for every day that drags on, the front behind can be built for one more day, and those who can be under Baidabo may have one more day.
Farah's side is constantly increasing the number of troops and transporting supplies to Baidabo, and the Americans are also loosening blood towards Baidabo through various means, and now it is a battle between agents.
After the end of the Cold War, after the collapse of one of the two poles and the United States becoming the world's number one, many countries were actually not very convinced.
It is basically impossible for them to confront the Americans head-on, because they know very well how many pounds and taels they have, so they are smiling and grinning, and the first to bear the brunt is the British, who used to be the world's boss.
The British also see clearly, the positive must not be able to just the Americans, so they can only find a way to drag their feet, all kinds of small tricks to drag them back, not to mention that this method is really useful, historically, the Americans were dragged into the abyss of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, behind which is the unsparing support of these countries.
Anyone with a little vision in the world knows that since the advent of the nuclear bomb, the world's war model has changed, and the frontal hard steel model between powerful countries has ended, and it has turned into a proxy war.
What is called a proxy war, just like the current Somali Civil War, is a standard proxy war, if you push forward, the Spanish Civil War before World War II was also a proxy war, but at that time, everyone's means were relatively immature, and the blind could see who supported whom, but today, it is difficult to find out who is behind Farah.
The remaining reinforcements don't know who is behind Farah, and they are so powerful, they have always had money to convey, and this kind of support is also supporting themselves in disguise, and the remaining reinforcements even believe that they buy a large number of weapons from Ukraine and Russia, which is also acquiesced by their superiors, otherwise it would not be so crazy.
Air-to-ground, ground, all kinds of armored vehicles, tanks, and even Wu Zhisheng were sold to the Yu reinforcements, and what they needed, they could get anything, and the Yu reinforcements could be regarded as understanding, it is estimated that Da Mao and Er Mao have no money now, they need to generate income, and buying and selling arms is their only way to generate income.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the arms flowing out of Ukraine amounted to 380 billion US dollars, not counting Russia's, such a huge arms deal, are those new people in power fools? Can't see it? Apparently not, it's just that they need dollars to back up their governance.
The situation on the battlefield became more and more intense, and the two sides began a brutal struggle on the first front, and in the outer positions, there were more than 2,000 soldiers of the independent front, who were killed by shelling and various early strikes, and now more than 1,700 people are holding their positions.
More than 1,700 people, and more than 2,000 of Farah's men who rushed into the position began a white-knuckle battle, yes, it was a white-knuckle battle, although it sounds like a very old way of warfare, but when the distance between the two sides is too close, and the hot weapons have no time to react, white-knuckle combat is the only way to resolve the dispute.
"Kill them all heretics!" Farah's men, wearing red ribbons, roared and pressed against the body of a defender, their muscleless arms holding on to death, and their hands pinching the enemy's neck.
The black man under him was out of breath because his neck was pinched, and his face had become very ugly now, his hands were groping on the ground looking for something to turn over, one hand touched a metal object, a trace of madness flashed in his eyes, and then struggled to pull out the safe.
"Ah......h
There was a roar like a beast, followed by a grenade explosion, a grenade explosion, both of them turned into wreckage, and several people around them were also affected by the pond fish, and they were all killed.
The white-knuckle battle was very cruel, in the short contact battle of less than ten minutes, more than 200 people had died, this number exceeded the number of people who had been shooting at each other for half an hour before, and most of them were directly killed, and there was no possibility of rescue.
"Damn it, you bastards, I'm going to kill you!" A black man on the independent front, holding a dagger, waving it wildly, with crazy bloodshot eyes, his wife, parents, and even children who are not even ten years old are dead, and now it is his turn, it can be said that the enemies are very red when they see each other.
The dagger was thrust into the body of a black man, and the black man who was stabbed to death slowly turned around, and at this time, he saw that the ribbon on his arm looked like a red one, but it was actually green, but it was dyed green with blood.
In the battle between blacks, because there is no obvious identification, it is difficult to determine whether it is one's own people or the enemy, and it is all too common to kill the wrong person, and this method of distinguishing the enemy with ribbons is obviously not very reliable.
The fight on both sides was very intense, and suddenly a person appeared, and you still had time to see what color ribbon was hanging on this person's arm? Just shoot and it's over, after all, Africa doesn't have a perfect system of supervising wars, and no one cares who does it on the battlefield after death.
"Looks like it's going pretty well!" The two of them, Yu Reinforcement and Drew, have been constantly moving around, observing the situation on the battlefield, and at the same time controlling the casualties of Farah's men, not too many deaths, not too few deaths, and need to be within a mutually acceptable range.
As for why the remaining reinforcements can't go up? In this case, the mercenary has a fart to use, this kind of frontal battlefield, when the two sides invest thousands or tens of thousands of troops, the strength of the individual is basically useless, this is reality, not Marvel or any superhero movie, there is no Captain America, Hulk, can kill thousands of people by one person superpower.
The compensation that needs to be paid for sacrificing a mercenary is enough to make Farah feel distressed for a long time, and it's not that the remaining reinforcements don't want to be sent, the barricades in front of the enemy's position, anti-tank obstacles, make their tanks useless, and you can't let your armored soldiers leave the tanks and become infantry, right?
