Chapter 1256: The Torrent of Steel Up

"Ladies and gentlemen, I always feel that things are a little wrong, this attack seems to be too smooth, according to the configuration of weapons and equipment and combat effectiveness of the mercenary corps, it shouldn't be so easy to occupy Boga, the original battle of Mutuwanga, 100,000 troops took four days and four nights, we only spent four hours, even if the Ugandan government army is some cannon fodder, according to normal logic, it will take at least two days to take Boga." The commander of the North American private military resource company said worriedly.

The main forces of the mercenary corps of the Mutuvanga campaign were three brigades of the 5th Cossack Mechanized Infantry Division, and the Boga Line, which was also three brigades of the 6th Cossack Mechanized Infantry Division, had only four hours from the launch of the attack to the end of the battle, and then the stationing in Boga, which was not at all logical.

There is no such phenomenon as luck in battle, even if the blind cat encounters the dead mouse, there is an inevitable connection, the dead mouse will not fall from the sky, things are so abnormal, there must be a threat or opportunity that has not been discovered, and it is the responsibility of the commander to find out the reason.

"Yes, we also think it is very strange, from the beginning to the end of this battle, there was no decent resistance, the defense of the mercenary legion did not make direct contact with us, only fired a round of rockets and carried out long-range artillery strikes, and retreated in a panic after the fight, there must be a reason for this." The deputy commander also said with a frown.

It sounds like the mercenary corps is fleeing, but the commanders of the headquarters secretly pouted, damn it, and retreated in a panic, the rocket artillery and self-propelled howitzers of the mercenary corps caused losses of more than 2,000 people to the attacking troops, and the number of wounded was about the same, you old man really dare to say.

"There are only two explanations, first, the strategy we formulated before has worked, due to the pressure of Beni, the main strength of the Cossack 6th Mechanized Infantry Division stationed on the Boga Line has been transferred to Beni, and this is simply an empty shelf, maybe only one armored brigade is bluffing."

"Second, Boga is flat, there are no natural obstacles, the other side knows that it can't withstand our attack, so it takes the initiative to give up here, we need to guard against the other side's air raids, you must know that it's noon, and the other side's planes have not been dispatched." said the chief of staff.

This is also the most reasonable explanation at present, according to the battle plan, the coalition forces outside Beni City first began to attack the mercenary garrison, although it was a feint, but the mercenaries did not know about this situation, because the feint can also become a formal attack at any time, in order to keep Beni, it is entirely possible to draw troops from Boga.

Secondly, Boga does not have mountains or rivers as defensive barriers, it belongs to the plain area of the flat river, and the mercenaries only have a sandbag fortification outside the town, which does not play much role in a group attack, and in the face of the impact of armored troops, it can be said that it will collapse at the touch of a button.

"The first scenario is unlikely, as far as I know, the troops on the Beni side were heavily shelled by the other side and suffered very heavy losses, and the mercenaries actually mobilized a large number of antique, 203-mm self-propelled howitzers bought from the US Army and the Russian Army to Beni, and the shelling continued for two hours without stopping, and we did not actually bring much pressure, and there was no need for the Cossack 6th Mechanized Infantry Division to increase its troops again."

"Chief of Staff, I am inclined to your second judgment, the mercenary corps wants to use air power to carry out saturation bombing while we are gathering forces, and for this we must disperse our subordinate forces as soon as possible to avoid this disastrous consequence. Tell the troops to disperse and camp as soon as possible, then eat and rest, and we will move in the direction of Beni tonight. ”

"Especially our logistics troops, the mercenary corps have imposed an absolute blockade on air and sea transport, our ammunition supplies are mortally limited, it is very difficult to replenish, and if something goes wrong, this mission will be defeated without a fight." The commander said.

Although the mercenary regiment has only an incomplete mechanized infantry division in Boga, there is absolutely no reason to be afraid of the attack of North American private military resource companies, intelligence shows that the nearest Sudanese Juba air base, there are dozens of strategic bombers and hundreds of fighters on the airfield, these expensive planes are not used to take pictures, once they are dispatched, it is an almost devastating attack, think about the overwhelming aerial bombs, the troops are simply looking for death when they get together!

Soon, more than 50,000 troops began to disperse around the town of Boga in accordance with the orders of the headquarters, forming a huge ring of defense, with armored troops in the outermost layer of the circle, infantry and transport vehicles in the second layer, headquarters and logistics supplies in the town of Boga, and there are still some old, weak, sick and disabled here, and the mercenaries will not be so frantic as to bombard the location of Boga Town.

Of course, the most nervous of the various units is the anti-aircraft missile battalion, one armored division and two mechanized infantry divisions dispatched this time, and each of the three divisions has only one anti-aircraft missile battalion.

If you want to deal with the strategic bombers of the mercenary group, the only way is anti-aircraft missiles, although the US Department of Defense secretly supports these mercenary companies, but some weapons and equipment belong to the restricted type, such as the new Patriot anti-aircraft missile is one, which is worried that it will cause dissatisfaction with the mercenary group, and the government's price is too expensive. Therefore, the American mercenary company is now armed with the Hawk anti-aircraft missile system, a modern medium-range anti-aircraft missile.

This is the first modern anti-aircraft missile system equipped by the US Army, and after entering the 21st century, the main air defense system has basically been replaced with the Patriot air defense missile system.

However, after technical transformation, the data link of the two is shared, and the Patriot air defense missile system can control the Hawk air defense missile system, so there are still reservations in some units, such as the Marine Corps, which must serve for at least ten or eight years.

This air defense missile system is composed of a missile and a triple launcher, a medium-altitude target search radar vehicle with a pulse system, a low-altitude target search radar vehicle with a continuous wave system, a high-power irradiation radar vehicle and a ranging radar vehicle, a control center vehicle, an information coordination center vehicle, a transport-loading vehicle, and a generator set.

An anti-aircraft missile battalion has three companies, and a launch company has three groups of triple launchers, which can theoretically destroy 27 targets at a time, and the maximum range is 40 kilometers, that is, 20,000 meters, which can completely threaten the safety of strategic bombers.

"If the North American PMS company puts on such a position, then when it enters Beni tonight, it will be a long snake formation, which is very suitable for the crushing of the steel torrent! A bunch of idiots, do you have to wait until now to blow you up? Hunter said with a smile at the headquarters.
