At the checkpoint along the border between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda, more than 100 soldiers guarding the border were blinded by a surprise attack by coalition special forces. For tonight's operation, the coalition command mobilized all the special forces, about two hundred people, and their actions were so fast that the checkpoints did not even sound the alarm. I have to admit the fact that no matter how tight the defense is, there will be loopholes to drill, and there is no fortress that cannot be broken.

Thousands of main battle tanks, hundreds of infantry fighting vehicles, more than a hundred self-propelled guns and self-propelled rocket launchers, which were guided by soldiers in off-road vehicles at night without lights, did not slow down because of this, in fact the road was all too familiar to Ugandan soldiers.

There were a large number of transport vehicles in the armored queue, full of soldiers sitting on them, and the task of traveling 140 kilometers in three hours was not very difficult. Especially after crossing the Getty Town, the largest town on the border, the terrain belongs to the flat river, which is very suitable for large-scale mechanized marches.

With a bang, an anti-tank mine exploded, and the strangest thing is that this mine was not buried in the ground, nor on the road, but hidden in a rock pile! What kind of landmine is it? The well-known Russian TM-83 anti-tank mine specializes in hitting the side armor of tanks, with a thickness of 100 mm.

"Nima, these mercenaries are really too insidious, we will run into mines when we avoid the main road!" The brigade commander of the tank brigade looked at his main battle tank, and was so angry that he scolded on the spot, with a depressed face.

An unlucky Captain 100 main battle tank, the side armor was pierced by the projectile, and it actually caused the internal ammunition to detonate, the entire tank became a big fireball, and the turret was blown away.

"Report to the Commander, the mine we planted next to the main road in the southeast corner of Getty Town has been triggered, presumably an enemy vehicle, and request that the drone immediately reconnoiter this place!" In a grove not far from the town of Getty, two special forces lay in the grass, holding infrared night vision devices and watching the firelight in the distance.

Because the distance is too far, it has exceeded two thousand meters, resulting in the image is not clear at all, even the world's most advanced infrared night vision device, can only see five hundred meters away.

At the same time, a fire burned half of the sky at the military base outside Hoima, and another news also reached the ears of the special forces commander Eric, who touched the second squadron of the Golden Triangle Special Commando where the coalition headquarters was located, and actually found a terrifying phenomenon, the hundreds of Israeli main battle tanks parked in this site turned out to be models made of wood and steel pipes!

"Inform all the brothers to be vigilant, closely monitor the situation in their respective areas, contact me at any time, and quickly notify the M-270 MLRS battalion to start laying mines in a large area, the distance between the two sides is too close, and it is estimated that it will be too late!" Eric's eyes were in a hurry.

So where did the hundreds of main battle tanks put here by the Israeli mercenaries go, there is no need to guess, they must have been transferred to another place and prepared to implement sneak attack tactics, which is the most basic military common sense!

"Order all the troops to speed up their actions, they must rush to Bunia to carry out a sneak attack at the specified time, there are more than fifty kilometers away from the target airfield, and we don't have to worry if the other party knows it!" Lieutenant General Diff, sitting in an armored command car, gave the order.

The unsuspecting forward command of the Afrika Korps takes time to formulate a plan to mobilize troops, and by the time the troops reach the designated position, their own armored clusters have already rushed into the airfield, which is a time difference.

"The town of Getty is only fifty minutes away from the airport, we are running out of time, inform all planes to take off in half an hour, bomb the target, the logistics department will evacuate the airport as soon as possible with the weapons and ammunition and various electronic instruments in stock, and leave the food and supplies alone,"

"The two armored brigades of the 1st Armored Division immediately took the initiative to attack in battle formation, and the infantry brigade was in the rear of the hall to defend and deal with the armored troops rushing forward head-on, and they must slow down the opponent's speed. The rocket artillery battalion goes into firing mode, launches mine-laying rockets for the first time, first sprinkles a circle of mines near the airfield, and then loads the rockets and waits for the firing order! The self-propelled howitzer battalion waited for the other side to enter the 12-kilometer warning area, and immediately opened fire, and the battalion commander decided on his own fighters. ”

"The airborne division is responsible for the sides of the airfield, going into defensive mode, the anti-tank missile vehicles are responsible for dealing with armor, howitzer and mortar groups, responsible for dealing with the enemy's infantry, and as long as they hold out until dawn, our support will arrive."

"Inform the 3rd Panzer Division and the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Division to quickly implement emergency reinforcements to the airfield, and all Longbow Apache gunship groups are now dispatched at once to strike at the enemy's armored forces, and transport helicopters carrying supplies and non-combatants are immediately withdrawn to a hundred kilometers away."

"Brothers, this is an unprecedented battle for the Afrika Korps, and it is also a life-and-death battle that will determine the fate of our people, if we can't withstand being defeated by the enemy, what will be the consequences, everyone understands in their hearts, let's act, your commander-in-chief, chief of the general staff, will fight with you until the last moment!" Thompson slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

The sneak attack on the coalition forces is not going well, these Afrika Korps sappers have made mines out of art, often in the most unexpected situation, they are blown to pieces by mines, except for the TM-83 anti-tank mines that specialize in side armor, some are actually two anti-tank mines buried in the ground together, and the result is that one plus one is greater than two.

Before the coalition troops could reach the vicinity of the airport, they had already lost more than 30 main battle tanks and more than a dozen transport vehicles, and the casualties had reached more than 500. This time, more than 50,000 people were riding in more than 600 transport trucks, and the density was too high, and if one transport truck was blown up, dozens of people would be killed or injured.

The most troublesome thing is that the opponent uses a large number of anti-materiel sniper rifles to carry out long-range shooting, the armor of the main battle tank is too thick, and there is no bullshit in the face of 12.7 mm armor-piercing shells, but the infantry fighting vehicles and transport trucks can't stop it, either the driver is killed, or the tires are broken and lose the ability to drive, or the fuel tank is hit and exploded and fires.

These small harassment actions did not last long, and the forward troops soon rushed to a distance of more than 10 kilometers from the airfield, and with a bang, a large number of mines exploded, and the main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and transport trucks were blown up in all directions, especially the transport trucks, which could not resist such explosions at all, and a large number of screams rang out, and the ground was stained red with blood.

This is a US-made NATO-standard equipment M270 rocket launcher, and the anti-tank mine-laying submunitions fired play a major role, each submunition contains 28 German-made AT-2 anti-under-vehicle mines, and the armor-piercing thickness is 140 millimeters.

At this time, the M270 multiple launch rocket system opened fire, and a battalion of 27 rocket artillery vehicles could fire 324 rockets in one minute, which could theoretically cover an area of 324 square kilometers.
