Chapter 751: Paratrooper Raid Four
"Since the establishment of the mercenary corps, there has never been a precedent for surrender, this is not an ordinary matter of honor, but there will be a second time if there is a first time, this time you can surrender, next time you may rebel, from the moment you join the Afrika Korps, the oath is clearly stated!"
"Brothers, now as your division commander, I will fight side by side with you, fulfill my oath together, believe me, even if we die in battle, our families will be well settled, and our enemies will be left in hell!"
"It's not that we don't have the ability to fight a war, pay attention to the paratrooper fighting vehicles, pay attention to the anti-tank missilemen, aim at the tanks coming from the opposite side and prepare to shoot, and the rest of the arms will do their best to protect them, don't take into account the problem of ammunition, we only need to hold out for fifteen minutes, and the helicopter gunships will arrive!"
"Brothers, for the honor of the Afrika Korps, for the honor of our 2nd Airborne Division, for our own honor and value, please forget all your fears and start fighting!" Through a communication system, Fras mobilized all the paratroopers.
The main battle tank, known as the king of land warfare, rushed into the position mercilessly, and the anti-tank missile launcher on the paratrooper fighting vehicle also began to attack, and hundreds of main battle tanks charged in clusters, the scene was very shocking, and if there was no air threat, it was almost invincible.
As a target to attract the enemy's attention, the paratrooper fighting vehicle is often blown up by the 120-mm rifled gun of the main battle tank after firing anti-tank missiles, and the armor of the paratrooper fighting vehicle cannot withstand large-caliber shells, and the tank is often destroyed by the side-fired Tao or Cornet anti-tank missile system.
A large number of paratroopers were killed and wounded by the machine guns of the main battle tanks and the British and French troops following behind, and those British and French soldiers were also killed by grenades and thrown grenades fired by the paratroopers, and some were killed by sniper rifles.
However, the death of the paratroopers bought enough time for the counterattack, and after ten minutes, the opponent did not even take a single commanding height, and the hillside and the flat ground were littered with corpses, and both the enemy and the enemy were red-eyed.
The British and French commanders brandished pistols and forced the Rwandan government army and the Congolese rebels to rush forward, and the slightest flinch was a bullet, and the two sides were entangled and could not be separated, and whoever retreated first would be annihilated.
But the battle situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for the paratrooper brigade, the main battle tank is the king of the land in the end, with the roar of the engine, the main battle tank continues to rush into the position of the paratroopers, the machine guns on it are firing bullets frantically, maybe it only takes ten minutes, the battle is about to end.
"This time, the two paratrooper brigades of the 2nd Airborne Division of the Afrika Korps, I am afraid that they will be completely annihilated by the opponent, and the troops of more than 6,000 people are enough to trigger the earth movement of the mercenary regiment, maybe the instructor will soon rush to the DRC to command the battle!"
"But although this army is all recruited by African countries, its combat effectiveness is not lost to the regular army, it fights bravely and is not afraid of death, and it does not take half a step back in the face of the main battle tanks, we used to underestimate the Afrika Korps." Looking at the video sent back by the Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the US Secretary of the Army was shocked.
The 2nd Airborne Division of the Afrika Korps was formed according to the size of the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army and the scale of armament and equipment, oh, in the establishment of the US Army, the Airborne Division and the Air Assault Division belong to the establishment of the Army, not the establishment of the Air Force.
Seeing that this airborne force, which was composed entirely of natives from various African countries, was unafraid to fight in the face of an enemy twice as large as himself, the Minister of War naturally praised it greatly, and brave soldiers must be respected.
"I think that the two paratrooper brigades of the Second Airborne Division, in fact, may not be completely annihilated, the most critical thing now is time, as long as it lasts another ten minutes, the object of encirclement and annihilation will be the British and French mercenaries, and with the combat ability and fighting spirit of the paratroop brigade, there is no problem for twenty minutes."
"Have you seen the images transmitted by satellite, the A-10 attack aircraft of the mercenary regiment have arrived on the battlefield, and at the same time they are B-1B strategic bombers, Longbow Apache helicopter gunships, the distance is a few minutes away, such a dense strike force, hundreds of main battle tanks can not withstand it, the attack aircraft and armed helicopters we make are the nemesis of the king of land warfare!" This was stated by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"If I were to command this battle, I would definitely have changed from the rear to the front, and I would have quickly left the battlefield under the cover of the main battle tanks, and maybe there would be a glimmer of life. Without the support of air power, don't think about encircling and annihilating the army of the mercenary corps, although the timing is not bad, but if you don't achieve your goal in half an hour, it means that the plan has failed, and you have to continue to entangle, isn't that an act of looking for death? Said the Minister of Defense.
"The combined armies of these countries, knowing that they have no air support, still want to start such a war, I really doubt that their thinking is in the Stone Age, the importance of the air force in modern warfare, do they still need to be reminded?" said the Minister of the Air Force.
"It's not that they didn't think of it, but they have no choice but to pretend to be mercenaries to go to the DRC to participate in the battle for African resources, which is in line with the rules of the game, and the mercenaries can't say anything else, because Atlantis Mineral Resources Company has almost driven European companies out of the African market over the years, how can it be a good thing to eat meat without being beaten?"
"If the Air Force is really dispatched, public opinion around the world will definitely be in an uproar, and the news media may say that World War III has broken out, and once the mercenaries' disguised identities are revealed, it will also be clear that they want to provoke the United States, and the mercenaries will not be able to pretend to be deaf and dumb at that time."
"Don't forget that countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy and other countries, and mercenaries still have fifth-generation fighter sales, and if they tear their faces, they lose the opportunity to get fifth-generation aircraft in advance." The Minister of Defense spoke very thoroughly.
There is no inextricable enmity between countries and countries, the key lies in whether there are sufficient interests, everyone must think in the long run, even a country like the Northern Dynasties has to export minerals and agricultural products in exchange for dollars and all kinds of necessary materials, which proves that no one can live behind closed doors.
The mercenary corps is not a simple private military organization, there are tens of millions of people in the Golden Triangle Federation, and hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, it is impossible to break with European countries, there are many places where everyone needs to cooperate, the Golden Triangle Federation needs European markets, European technology and food materials.
It is impossible for European countries to break with mercenaries, if the other side leaves it alone and allows Russian power to rush into the Mediterranean, it will be a huge disaster, and Russia is unlikely to start a war with Europe, but the deterrence brought by the former Soviet Union has penetrated into the bone marrow of European countries, and it is better to believe it than not.
At the same time, breaking with the mercenary corps also loses the world's most advanced and cutting-edge military technology, and loses an important means to improve national defense capabilities.
Therefore, this war is a tentative act of each other, Wu Chen wants to see the attitude of African countries, find out the influence and means of non-cooperative countries, European countries want to try the determination of mercenaries to see if they can obtain more benefits and resources, and the unfortunate ones are actually South Africa, Rwanda and Uganda, which are actually used as gunmen by these two sides, and there is also Israel.
