Chapter 944: The Routine is Deep Four

To say that mercenaries are the overseas power of the United States, on the surface it is true, but even if other countries in the world believe it, there are two countries that absolutely do not believe it, one is the US government itself, and the other is the mercenary group itself, and they have a different definition of their relationship with each other.

The U.S. government sees the special nature of mercenaries and wants to use mercenaries to do things that are inconvenient for them, while mercenaries need U.S. funds and military resources, and they also need the United States to support them.

The basis of cooperation is interests, then there is a possibility of betrayal at any time, and the US government is the most uneasy about mercenaries, even if the big boss on the surface is Thompson, a pure American, this is an uncontrollable force that must be closely monitored.

The CIA and the Department of Defense took advantage of the opportunity of recruiting mercenaries to send thousands of intelligence officers to mix in the mercenary team, and within the mercenary corps, a huge intelligence network was formed.

Although the last accident caused a large number of high-level intelligence personnel to lose, there are still many who remain, and they are now in important positions, and they are not suspected by the mercenaries.

The Taliban government provides the country's mineral resources, and the mercenaries provide some old-fashioned weapons and equipment from the former Soviet Union, which is very reasonable, and the Taliban government does not get any benefits, so why should it protect the interests of the mercenaries?

"Since this is the case, then the Department of Defense has strictly ordered the attack on the coalition command in Afghanistan, and this battle must be fought well, and it must be fought very beautifully, firstly, to give the American people confidence that they have a strong motherland and continue to support the government's decision. The second is to deter the Taliban government, and it is inevitable that it will lose if it goes against the United States, and it is wise to surrender early. The third is to show all countries how effective the US military is, except for nuclear weapons, the participating troops can use all conventional weapons! Mr. President said almost through gritted teeth.

In order to redeem the adverse effects caused by the defeat in the early stage, the United States mobilized the famous First Mechanized Division and the 101st Air Assault Division in this positional war, plus the participating troops of Britain, Germany, France, Italy and other countries, and the remnants of the Northern Alliance were defeated, gathering a full 30,000 men, which was also the largest battle since the start of the Afghan war.

According to the recommendations of the military expert group, the Taliban army built fortifications in the mountains near the northern transportation hub of Calika, which are all mountainous plains and very few, and the Taliban army and local forces dug a large number of tunnels and potholes to avoid the air superiority of the other side, without these caves and tunnels, it is not much different from sending them to death.

"Boss, do you say that in the blocking position of Charikar, can you fight the Battle of Shangganling in the new century? You see, the forces of the two sides are about the same, the difference in weapons and equipment is similar to that of that time, the geographical situation is similar, and the Afghans are also very heroic. Marcus said.

Thanks to the Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and Predator drones provided by the United States, the movements of the two sides can be seen clearly, although Wu Chen is on vacation on the island, the pictures transmitted by satellite can be received quickly, and then there is the information provided by the shadow organization, and the report on the battle situation of the mercenary regiment in Afghanistan, he is well aware of the current situation.

"This is impossible, the Afghans are good at guerrilla warfare, not this kind of positional warfare of frontal contact, their willpower is not as strong as you think, besides, today and the war on the peninsula are completely different, the precision strikes of strategic bombers, the landing operations of transport helicopters, these are all technical advantages that were not available before, my prediction is one hundred and twenty hours, at most, that is in the case of mercenary participation, if I don't shoot, at most only twenty hours, or even less."

"I judge that the U.S. military will use cluster bombing and ground artillery fire as the first round of strikes, which will cause heavy losses to the Taliban army, and the U.S. military will send helicopters to carry special forces from the rear of the position, and at the same time cut off the transportation line of the Taliban army and the retreat to Kabul, and they can only retreat to the Bamiyan area in the west with a small number of surviving troops, and these mountain roads are the ultimate lifeline, so I ordered an infantry brigade of the guerrilla armed forces to hide in the mountains to be responsible for responding, so that the whole army will not be wiped out." Wu Chen shook his head and said.

Just kidding, what kind of thinking is this called modern warfare, do you really think that the army of the world's first military power is muddy? The U.S. military has an absolute advantage in frontal combat against the Taliban army, and the outcome of this blocking battle was actually decided from the beginning.

The U.S. military is a strong army tempered in many wars, with rich combat experience, and the use of modern weapons and equipment can be said to have reached the extreme! Lo and behold, the army is equipped with helicopter gunships, transport helicopters, main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, cavalry fighting vehicles, in addition to towed artillery and self-propelled howitzers, fighter jets and strategic bombers in the air, as well as Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance planes and spy satellites, forming an impenetrable net from the ground to the air.

What does the Taliban army have, just by virtue of flesh and blood, to fight against the powerful US army, they hold old-fashioned former Soviet equipment, and they are all assault rifles, heavy machine guns, mortars, rocket launchers and other light weapons, there is no bonus of heavy weapons.

Why did Wu Chen finally approve this battle plan, he didn't look at the frontal defensive position of the Taliban army, so there was no need to worry about it, the outcome was doomed.

If the Taliban government does not learn its lesson, similar problems will arise in the future, and they must be made to understand that obeying the command of the mercenaries is the only option for victory.

Of course, the mercenary corps will not do nothing, staring at the Taliban army with heavy losses, Wu Chen dares to say that five days is well-founded, Eric commands the special forces to sneak attack the US military camp, and the guerrilla forces trained in special tactics will intercept the logistics supply routes of the coalition forces, which is his purpose.

The U.S. military's ammunition consumption is quite staggering, and this is their only weakness, as long as the U.S. military's transport convoy is attacked and the supply of food supplies and ammunition is not in place, the U.S. military is bound to use transport helicopters to replenish it.

However, the portable anti-aircraft missiles of the special forces are also not vegetarian, and they will also launch special attacks on airfields, and when the vehicles are blown up and the transport helicopters are shot down, the mercenaries will make a lot of money.
