Chapter 363: The Capture of Surt (I)
The high-profile Faisal Brigade came in the name of counter-terrorism, which naturally attracted the attention of Ace, and in recent years, because of Liboa's internal friction, it has also given them the opportunity to develop.
Originally, their main area of activity was in the Middle East regions such as Illak and Syria, and seeing that Liboa was in chaos, the high-level Ace Ace, who felt that there was an opportunity, immediately established a branch in Liboa.
Starting almost from scratch, it has now grown to an armed force of more than 3,000 men, occupying an important strategic position in Kagafi's hometown of Sult.
Although the armed forces of more than 3,000 people were not very large, they made the Liboan factions, including the National Council, feel very troublesome, and they have never been able to reach a consensus to exterminate them, and sit back and watch them grow step by step.
There is no way, Ace's strength and record in the Middle East make these Liboan factions very jealous, worried that if they become a bird, they will attract the counterattack of the entire Aceace.
After all, Ace Ace in Sult is not without assistance, and the main force of Ace Ace that has risen in Syria, Irak and other places is their biggest reliance.
But what about themselves? Not only do you have no helpers, but you also have to be careful to guard against other armed forces around you, if you don't do it well, you will be divided or dismembered.
is such a group of people with different mentalities, how can they reach an agreement to participate in the thankless action of exterminating Ace?
Now, at last, someone has come forward, and they are starting to think about each other again.
Because for them, the Faisal Brigade and Ace, no matter who wins or loses, the form will change, and they will naturally have to deal with it accordingly.
However, the current Xia Feifei and Faisal don't have so much to think about.
The ground forces have not yet arrived around Sult, and the air force has already begun to move, and the so-called air force is actually an air strike force composed of dozens of helicopter gunships.
Ace Ace has no air power, first the ground forces act, attract Ace's attention, and then quickly dispatch air power to carry out fierce and accurate strikes on some important targets of Surt.
The reason why they were able to strike so accurately and timely was simply because they had accurate information beforehand.
Since Messha became the patriarch of the Vandersey family and stabilized the position of the patriarch, she has increased her investment in Liboa step by step according to Xia Feifei's requirements, after more than a year of layout and management.
The Vandersey family had already had a lot of useful information and gathered it to Hamez, and then immediately developed a plan to carry out targeted strikes.
Murtasim has a solid military foundation, and Hamez graduated from a well-known military academy abroad, and the command ability of the two can definitely beat the leaders of the armed forces of the Anyway government.
What's more, there is also the assistance of the staff officers assigned by the Song family in the army, and the tactical actions don't even need to worry about the two brothers.
The first wave of air strikes went very smoothly, and it also caught Ace by surprise.
According to conservative estimates, nearly 30 locations revealed by intelligence, including Ace's command center in Surt, the residences of important officers, training camps, material warehouses and other important targets, suffered heavy losses in this wave of attacks, and almost all of them were destroyed.
While the air strike was underway, more than forty transport helicopters quickly approached Surt, and Xia Feifei was on one of the helicopters.
It turned out that when the Faisal brigade arrived in Birak, it took control of the airfield there, and Faisal led the main force to continue to advance, while Xia Feifei stayed here with his five hundred elites.
Subsequently, a large number of helicopters from the Grande flew here, and the attack helicopter gunships took off quickly after replenishing the airfield.
Then, Xia Feifei led his elite on the transport helicopter.
Most of these transport helicopters are not owned by the Hamez brothers, but are rented from the Song family.
Because for the two Hamez brothers, it is more cost-effective to rent non-essential things than to buy, and the Song family also happens to provide rental business.
However, if it is damaged in battle, Hamez will have to bear the cost.
After the helicopter gunship had finished striking the marked target, the transport helicopter arrived in due time.
One by one, the helicopters immediately dispersed, and according to the instructions, began to reduce the altitude in the specified area, dropped the soldiers they carried, and then occupied an important stronghold as soon as possible.
Ace, who had just been caught off guard by the helicopter gunship, had a chaotic command system, and was powerless to stop Xia Feifei and his elite.
Except for two or three positions that encountered stubborn resistance, the rest of the positions did not cause much trouble to Xia Feifei.
Of course, Xia Feifei naturally didn't think that with the five hundred people in his hands, he would completely defeat Ace Ace and recover Resurrection, the purpose of which was to control some important areas of Surt, divide Ace's forces, and make a good start for the Faisal Brigade.
After all, this is the battle that the Faisal Brigade is fighting in the mountains, and it is naturally fighting with momentum, so it is important to fight quickly.
Otherwise, not only will Ace Ace be relieved to drag on the battle, but even the armed factions in other places may have other ideas.
Surt must be taken, and it must be won quickly, which is also the starting point of the next struggle for the rights of Liboa by the two Hamez brothers.
After Xia Feifei led the people to control the selected position, without waiting for Ace Ace to concentrate his forces on the counterattack, the vanguard of the Faisal Brigade had already appeared on the periphery of Surt, which was all linked to each other, rehearsed and planned in advance.
After a slight adjustment of the ranks, the vanguard of more than 3,000 people launched an attack from the south of Sirte.
Although the vanguard was not a large number of troops, they were all from the Hamez Brigade, only disguised as the Faisal Brigade, and they were well armed, with more than 40 tanks and armored vehicles alone, as well as 10 self-propelled howitzers, and more than 50 towed guns, including large-caliber guns of more than 150 mm.
In addition, there are more than one and a half hundred mortars of various calibers, not to mention bazookas and the like.
These equipment alone are enough to crush any of Liboa's armed forces.
Due to their air superiority, patrol helicopters in the air provided targets for the ground forces at the first time.
Regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, the first artillery preparation is indispensable, and after half an hour of artillery preparation, the outer position built by Ace Ace was blown to pieces.
And at this time, go back to replenish the complete gunship group and arrive again.
Immediately, led by tanks and armored vehicles, the infantry also began to attack, which was a joint air-ground operation.
