Chapter 395: Resource Wars I
"The director's job is to choose the most suitable actors and interpret the script perfectly, if it weren't for the fact that you are too charming, I wouldn't have chosen Penelope, you are both beautiful women, I don't want my film to make the audience too obsessed with your charm and ignore the plot. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"The desire to chase fame and fortune can make people motivated, which is also an innate nature, I don't think there is anything wrong with it, the opportunity is to be fought for by yourself. Miss Sophie, in fact, you also crave the audience's recognition of your acting skills, so why do you use such a tone to mock me? Wu Chen said with a smile.
According to Wu Chen's plan, the government's focus in three years is to fully develop industry and infrastructure, not only in the Golden Triangle Federation, but also in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Mercenaries need residential buildings, locals need residential buildings, foreigners also need residential buildings, and with the population, there must be a large number of supporting facilities, government agencies, hospitals, schools, shopping malls, supermarkets, commercial streets, banks, television stations, radio stations, water and electricity, etc., which are indispensable, transportation and communications, that is the top priority. Wu Chen said that building cities in these places is at least more advantageous than those cities in the desert, and there is no reason why they can't be built.
As for the military, it is necessary to develop high-end and basic military industries, and warships, nuclear submarines, main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and airplanes must be manufactured, as well as ordinary guns and ammunition, and purchased guns cannot always be used.
Then there is the large-scale military training, mercenaries belong to the kind of relatively loose military organization, and there are many disadvantages compared with the regular army, especially the training cannot keep up. Wu Chen decided that in the next three months at the beginning of next year, the second phase of intensive training for officers will be held.
This time it is aimed at the grassroots officers of the mercenary corps, and there will also be a huge short-term training course, in which the Iraqi government army, the Kurdish guerrilla forces, and the Afrika Korps will participate, and Wu Chen will personally perform his duties as a principal.
Boom, boom, a number of mortar shells fell on a small barracks in the oil-producing area of eastern Algeria of the mercenary regiment, which was actually the station of a company-level combat team, with more than 20 military tents and more than a dozen infantry fighting vehicles, killing more than 20 mercenaries on the spot, and some of the supplies in the tents also ignited a fire.
In response to the sudden attack, this infantry company, which is responsible for the safety of the oil-producing area, did not panic at all, and while reporting to the headquarters, it quickly used infantry fighting vehicles to hide and choose an opportunity to launch a counterattack.
"Paralyzed, this is not an ordinary local armament, this is a well-trained professional soldier, change tactics, temporarily focus on defense, first figure out who these people are!" The commander of the company-level combat team shouted.
The frantic shelling brought great damage to the company, the opponent's mortars continued to fire, the impact point was very accurate, and the ammunition depot without protective measures was also hit, killing more than a dozen people on the spot, which is equivalent to a third of the company's combat effectiveness disappearing in a short period of time.
The mercenaries are dealing with the rebels, and those people don't have mortars at all, to put it mildly, if you give them mortars, they won't use them, and even if they can fire shells, they can't hit them so accurately.
The mercenary's infantry company is an American army formation, with fourteen Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, twenty M249 machine guns, one M2HB Browning large-caliber machine gun, one MK19 automatic grenade launcher and three Javelin anti-tank missile launchers, also equipped with M224 60mm mortars, which are very powerful.
That is, in just a few minutes, the mercenary's mortar opened fire, and returned fire along the opponent's trajectory, and suddenly, the enemy's artillery attack weakened, and it was estimated that no defensive target could counterattack so quickly.
"Be careful, immediately divide half of the people into the infantry fighting vehicle, fight as you go, and never stop and become a live target!" The best defense is to attack, and a group of infantry fighting vehicles immediately activates and attacks the enemy's position.
The oil-producing area relies on transport convoys and transport helicopters to supplement daily necessities, because the chassis here is so large that a company often needs to defend hundreds of square kilometers of land, and the closest company here will not be able to catch up for a while.
"Damn, judging by the military uniforms and weapons, this group of people is a foreign mercenary regiment of special France, a signal soldier, immediately report to the headquarters and request reinforcements from a large army, the other side has no heavy firepower and heavy equipment, but the number exceeds us by a lot, there are about two thousand people by sight, equipped with a large number of machine guns, sniper rifles and mortars, as well as Sand Snake anti-tank missiles and Mistral man-portable missiles!" The commander raised the binoculars and looked at them for a while, and said through gritted teeth.
Although the number of foreign mercenary groups is large, they do not have heavy weapons and heavy mechanized equipment, and there is no way to face the most advanced Bradley infantry fighting vehicles in the United States, even the Sand Snake anti-tank missiles for a while and a half.
The 25-mm electric chain-feeding machine gun, which was not even an opponent for some main battle tanks, and a 7.62 mm machine gun, in a state of full speed movement, the foreign mercenary group that sneaked up on it suddenly suffered a big loss, and the machine gun swept away a large area. This is a desert terrain, and there is no good position to hide, and the opponent's vehicle speed is too fast, and several anti-tank missiles have been missed.
The rest of the mercenaries hid behind several other infantry fighting vehicles and attacked them with machine guns and assault rifles, as well as sniper rifles, which were almost invincible if there was helicopter gunship cover.
But both sides of the enemy and the enemy know very well in their hearts that the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle is not invincible, and the enemy seems to have expected this for a long time, and the number of anti-tank missiles carried is very large, even including weapons like the Milan anti-tank missile, one will not work, ten or twenty will work?
Thompson was furious when he got the news, are the French crazy, for the sake of Algeria's oil and gas, they actually sent a foreign mercenary group to launch a surprise attack on the mercenary group, damn it, do you really think we don't dare to go to war with a nuclear weapon state?
But the problem is that the implementation of airborne must be paratroopers, and there is only one paratrooper regiment in the foreign mercenary regiment, and the number of people is about 1,000 people, which is a big difference! There is only one explanation, and that is that the regular airborne troops of France are dispatched, and the French are really anxious for the sake of oil interests here.
It was less than two thousand kilometers from the airfield in Pristina to the area of engagement, and with Thompson's order, a squadron of A-10 attack aircraft and a squadron of Tu-22M3 strategic bombers, immediately began to take off from the airfield and rushed to Algeria, according to the speed, the strategic bombers could arrive in an hour and a half, and the attack aircraft needed two and a half hours to arrive.
