Chapter 575 [Tanks and Armored Vehicles Dispatched]
The great performance of the sniper of Xingfeng, coupled with the timely appearance of the Delta Squad, made this battle because Neeson revealed his location, causing Somalis to run over in groups to sneak attack.
In a very short time, it was all over!
In the face of such a fierce fire attack, the 3rd squad guarding the street corner and the 4th squad being attacked by artillery did not suffer any casualties except for a few people who were slightly injured by stray bullets and splashes, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
After the battle, Hute and the others rushed to the location of the fourth squad to converge, and after learning that Xingfeng was the one who rescued his two team members, he urgently asked Xingfeng to take them to the hiding place now.
It just so happened that Xingfeng was also worried about how to bring them over, and now that there were 5 more free laborers, he naturally raised his hands in favor, and he didn't even need to take the plasma and medicine, and changed two stretchers and took Hutt and his men to the hiding place of Shuhart and others.
……
Joint Operational Base Command Center!
At this time, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, if it was this time in the past, the high-level leaders of the base were already carrying out their own entertainment activities, but today it was completely different, and all of them were gathered in the command center.
"There was a battle at the second crash site just now, the Somalis have been repulsed, and the ranger squads are safe for the time being, but the injuries of the wounded in their team are deteriorating, and the base is requested to send a convoy to support ......"
The observation helicopter formation, which has refueled several times and maintained round-the-clock uninterrupted observation, constantly reported the situation to the command center.
When the high-level leaders here heard the feedback from these feedbacks, everyone's faces were as heavy as frost, and their hearts were like pressing a big stone weighing 10,000 catties, so depressed that it was difficult to breathe.
The most urgent thing that pressed on all the troops involved in the "Irene Plan" at the moment was that the troops were wounded in the daytime fighting, and after these hours of delay, they were not treated in time, resulting in serious injuries caused by aggravated injuries.
If you can't evacuate all of them before dawn, the consequences will be extremely serious.
"Sir, Lieutenant Colonel Ke is looking for you!" A soldier walked in with a satellite phone and handed it to General Gallison, who was pressing on his temple.
"Lieutenant Colonel Ke, how is your situation over there?" General Gallison asked, taking his phone.
"I have now arrived at the base of the 10th Mountain Division, and the general command has communicated with the Pakistani peacekeepers, but the Pakistani side is still discussing the route into the city and the rescue plan." Lieutenant Colonel Ke replied.
"How much longer?" General Gallison's face became even more ugly.
It had been more than four hours since he had sent Lieutenant Colonel Ke over to ask for support, and it was a little difficult for him to accept that they hadn't even set off yet.
"At least two hours!" Lieutenant Colonel Ke was helpless.
"You should know that we don't have that much time." General Gallison couldn't suppress his boredom and got up and walked out of the command center.
"Sir, the Pakistani general said that we did not inform them in advance and that it will take some time to mobilize the 10th Mountain Division."
Lieutenant Colonel Ke was also very dissatisfied in his heart, but the Pakistani general was telling the truth and did not have any excuses!
The United Nations conventional force in Somalia is a joint force of several countries, including Pakistan, Malaysia, Italy, France, etc.
The United States is just one of the forces!
Moreover, the peacekeepers of other countries are not like the United States, which can carry out their own military operations on their own, and they all need to accept the "General Command of the United Nations Conventional Forces in Somalia", Commander-in-Chief Thomas Bush. Unified deployment of Major General M. Montgomery.
The United States poked out the big basket this time, but the commander-in-chief, Major General Montgomery, reacted very positively, and immediately asked the commander of the 10th Mountain Division of Pakistan to deploy two companies of the Mountain Division to form a rapid reaction force and try to enter Mogadishu to carry out rescue operations.
However, for Pakistan, it is not the "little brother" of the United States, and there will be many factors to consider in order to ensure the safety of its rescue forces.
Pakistan's concerns are convenient, and General Gareson also knows it, but the United Nations peacekeeping forces in this vicinity, except for Pakistan, only Malaysia can help, and the other countries are stationed very far away, and the nearest Italy is 30 miles away.
The only peacekeeper who can have armored tank vehicles to enter the city is Pakistan's 10th Mountain Division.
The peacekeepers of Malaysia, only some wheeled armored vehicles!
"Go and tell him that I understand his plight, but I also want to remind him that my men are surrounded by armed militia regiments, and we must get them out of enemy territory immediately, and I need his help." General Gallison's tone was heavy, and there was already some threat of being an American general in his tone.
"Yes, sir, I'll go tell him." Hanging up the phone, Principal Ke Zhong let out a sigh of relief and walked quickly towards the command center of the stadium base.
10:20 p.m.!
Lieutenant Colonel Mainai commanded the reorganized Humvee convoy to bypass Mogadishu, which had been turned into a meat grinder, to the gymnasium where Pakistan's 10th Mountain Division was located.
Lieutenant Colonel McNai, who was covered with dark red blood coagulation marks and his face was blackened by dust and gunsmoke, walked straight to the command center with a cigarette in his mouth as soon as he got out of the car.
The Pakistani general, who was strongly and implicitly threatened by Lieutenant Colonel Ke, saw that he had commanded the troops and was ready to set off, and the American side also sent people over, put their hands on their waists, and walked over very unhappily and said: "This rescue operation is enough with the peacekeeping troops of our 10th Mountain Division and Malaysian armored vehicles, you don't have to go back, OK?" ”
Lieutenant Colonel McNay did not speak, but took a puff of his cigarette, threw the cigarette butt on the ground and smashed it with his foot, and stared up at the Pakistani general with cold eyes.
Covered in blood and the murderous aura that had just escaped from the hands of death, Lieutenant Colonel McNay was completely crushed in momentum, even though he was half a head shorter than the Pakistani general.
Being stared at by such a dead man's eyes, the Pakistani general felt a little worried in his heart, pretended to be too lazy to take care of him, walked past him, and shouted to the soldiers who were preparing outside: "Get in the car, everyone get in the car, and set off in a minute, first go to Newport to meet the Malaysian armored convoy." ”
……
Inside the Ranger Fourth Squad building!
With the help of Hutt's five Delta special forces, although several skirmishes broke out in the middle, in the end, Xingfeng successfully brought the injured Gordon and others back here.
"I don't want to die here, I want to go home, Iversman, tell me now, is there anyone else coming back to us?"
Egbert, who was shot in the abdomen, was able to stand up during the day, but as time dragged on, he was tormented by severe abdominal pain at this time and could no longer be exhausted, and despair began to spread in his mind.
"You're not going to die, trust me, the convoy has already set off, and will be here soon to pick us up, Egbert, you have to hold on, you can, right?" Looking at the desperate look in his brother's eyes, Iversman felt very uncomfortable.
Before the operation started, he also promised everyone in the fourth team that he would bring them all back safely, but now......
To be honest, the convoy has already set off, which is true, but whether the convoy will finally arrive, Iversman himself has no confidence in his heart.
You know, the Hummer convoy was less than 2 kilometers away from them during the day, but after several hours, it didn't appear in front of them.
"Has the convoy already set off? Great, great, I can hold on, yes, I will definitely hold on, I can't let my unborn son lose his father, I must hold on now. ”
Perhaps it was the thought of his son, whose unborn son gave him courage, or perhaps the hearing that the convoy was already coming, Egbert, who looked like he was about to be unable to hold on, once again had a glint of hope in his eyes.
