Chapter 1240 Bait Fishing Five

The number of mercenaries in the DRC is too small, although the weapons and equipment are relatively advanced, and the combat effectiveness is also very strong, but it is absolutely impossible to withstand more than twice as many of their counterparts. Beni's defensive battle is now in a stalemate, but it will not last more than two days, and the coalition forces are attacking with six times the number of troops, and retreat is an inevitable choice, military experts have commented.

The Russian government felt that pie had fallen from the sky, and the air superiority of the mercenary regiment was well-known all over the world, but in this offensive and defensive war, the air force did not make much achievements, and experts said that it was the S-300V air defense missile system, which threatened the fighters and bombers of the air force, so the title of the world's first Russian air defense missile was born.

Perhaps inspired by the First Battle of Beni, the South African mercenary group and the Rwandan government army suddenly began to shell the positions of the mercenary regiments in Goma, and the same 80,000-strong troops were dispatched on all fronts and approached Goma, but they did not cross the border line, and the European mercenary groups have been standing still and watching from the sidelines, which is called a strategic reserve.

"There is not much pressure on the Goma front, I think the two armored divisions are hiding in the woods for the time being, and when the European mercenary group has moved, let the three brigades of the 6th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 8th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Afrika Korps fight a firepower battle with the opponent first, and the 3rd Air Assault Division of the Afrika Korps is responsible for providing air support."

"In fact, what the Goma Second Theater is really afraid of is the European mercenary group, these more than 60,000 people are a rapid reaction force secretly formed by the Western European group of countries, equipped with the best weapons in the world, and the members are all veterans selected from the armies of various countries, with rich experience in actual combat, and their firepower is not inferior to us." Hunter said.

"I agree with what you say, according to the intelligence of the shadow organization, the South African mercenary group is a temporary alliance of more than 100 South African mercenary companies, and there is commercial competition and mutual calculation hatred between them, there is no trust at all, and individual equipment can be said to be reasonable, but there is a serious shortage of long-range firepower."

"The three infantry divisions of the Rwandan government army actually do not have much combat effectiveness, and they use retired weapons from European countries, not to mention our strength, even the European mercenary group and the American mercenary company are ten times and a hundred times more than theirs." Thompson said.

One day without moving, two days without moving, Mutuwanga's coalition commanders began to get angry, they did not have sophisticated high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft such as the Global Hawk UAV, and the developed intelligence officers could not get close to the battlefield, they did not know that there were two paratrooper brigades joining the battle, and thought that they were only facing two brigades of the Cossack 5th Mechanized Infantry Division.

Paralyzed, I have never seen such a resistant army, and the defensive line built of steel and concrete has long been blown away by shells and rockets, why haven't you withdrawn?

"What the hell, seeing that we've lost more than half of our troops, we can't take a small town of Mutuwanga, which is damaging the reputation of our American mercenary company. In any case, you must take it tomorrow with all your might, otherwise you will not be able to explain it to your employers! Said the commander of the Security Company of the American Veterans Alliance.

"Hey,, it's starting shelling again, the mercenary corps is really extravagant, this is very different from the previous statement, for three days in a row, shells are fired at us almost every day, and rocket artillery is fired once in a while, doesn't their ammunition cost money?" The commander of the American professional security company shook his head and said, his eyes full of envy.

Self-propelled howitzers and self-propelled rocket launchers were slowly retreating, and the towed howitzers were towed away by tractors after firing shells, with two heavy tank battalions behind the hall. The positions of the mercenary regiments were actually empty, the infantry had already retreated outside the city of Beni, and Mutuwanga had also evacuated all the supplies, and the general command said that for the time being, it would not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place.

Showing weakness to the enemy is also an important tactical strategy, this is to give the Vietnamese government a bold, the mercenaries are not irresistible, it is nothing more than a matter of determination, and now the mercenary army's energy is contained in the Congo, it is the best time to recover Cam Ranh Bay.

On the morning of the fourth day, all the artillery of the coalition forces opened fire, not only more than 100 self-propelled howitzers, 18 M270 multiple rocket launchers, more than 300 towed 155-mm howitzers, but also tanks, and launched an hour-long artillery bombardment in one go.

The scene was spectacular, the mercenary regiment's position was covered with black smoke, and the coalition soldiers cheered in unison, it was long overdue! The troops of the three divisions mustered up their courage and cheered up and forcibly rushed to the position of the mercenary regiment, but as a result, everyone was dumbfounded, and did not encounter any resistance.

"These bastards who gave birth to sons and have no ass* eyes have retreated a long time ago, and the ammunition we shot out in this hour cost tens of millions of dollars!" The commander of the American professional security company scolded and almost went crazy on the defensive positions of Mutuwanga.

Governments around the world have received news that the town of Mutuwanga, an important border town in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, has been occupied by Ugandan government forces and American mercenary companies, and the mercenary troops have retreated to the outer defense line of Beni, and the mercenaries have lost the first round of the battle.

Official sources admit that the mercenary regiment lost more than 12,000 men killed and wounded in the battle of Mutuwanga, and the 5th Cossack Mechanized Infantry Division, which had a total of more than 18,000 men, lost 70 percent of its combat effectiveness.

The Beni Line was taken over by the Cossack 6th Mechanized Infantry Division and the 8th Afrika Korps 8th Mechanized Infantry Division, each with a mechanized infantry brigade, as well as the 2nd Airborne Division.

"The mercenary corps has the world's most cutting-edge scientific and technological weapons and equipment, second only to the United States in terms of gold content, and even surpasses Russia and European countries, and its own combat effectiveness is very strong, and it is composed of the best retired officers and soldiers in various countries, and its military quality is very high, which is a fact recognized by everyone."

"However, the establishment of this military group is too short, it has only been eight years now, the foundation is not very solid, and the blind expansion in the early stage has led to the fact that the territory is now too large, there are too many places to defend, and the troop dispatch is in a very embarrassing state......

Naturally, military experts from various countries will not give up such a good opportunity to explain to the audience what is behind the second war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in their television programs, as if this is the truth.
