Chapter 779: There Is War And Life III
"Boss, this time Jalalabad's transport line sneak attack battle, we can say that we won a big victory, after an hour of fierce fighting, killed more than 190 US troops, wounded more than 30 people, lost more than 80 people, only lost more than 30 people in the battle, mainly by the Predator drone launched the Hellfire anti-tank missile, this thing is very difficult, portable anti-aircraft missiles are not easy to lock, the US military is now manufacturing and using a large number of them, causing us a lot of trouble." Eric called.
Wu Chen, who was at home in Kyoto, got a report from Eric that the ambush on the Jalalabad transport line was planned by the special forces, and there was also the wonderful cooperation of the shadow organization.
At the officers' club, a colonel in charge of logistics, perhaps happy to drink, inadvertently leaked the transport plan in his words, and most importantly, there was a time for the transport convoy to depart.
From Jalalabad to Kabul, there is only one road suitable for so many vehicles, and the US military thinks that it is safest to go out during the day, and the Taliban army will never dare to attack the transport convoy so boldly, they are good at carrying out sneak attacks at night.
But the problem is that the opponent is a special force of the mercenary regiment, and the main force of the attack is a guerrilla armed force with modern tactical training, and both sides of this road are all mountainous areas, and there is no problem in hiding tens of thousands of people.
They detonated a number of explosives on the slopes at both ends of the ambush section, blocking the US troops who came to reinforce them, and the vehicles could not pass at all, and also blocked the passage of the transport convoy to Kabul.
As a result, the US troops in the transport convoy were saddened, and the helicopter gunships in Jalalabad came and circled a few times, and the 30-mm single-barreled electric chain cannon began to shoot, and as soon as several anti-aircraft missiles of the special forces were launched, they immediately slipped back.
The coalition command issued a warning that the Taliban army has advanced anti-aircraft missiles that can shoot down helicopter gunships, and asked pilots to be vigilant and not to take chances.
After receiving the news, the large troops in the city rushed to the battlefield in a short time, but looking at the damaged road and the dirt and stones piled on the road, everyone could only stare dryly, listening to the distant gunfire with anxiety but no fart. This method, although somewhat crude, is straightforward and effective.
"The new type of equipment of the UAV is not yet mature, speed and altitude are fatal flaws, the military industry has been doing research and development in this area, and wants to create a portable anti-aircraft missile and vehicle-mounted missile specially designed to deal with UAVs, with the ability to automatically search for targets and track and destroy the enemy, but it has not yet been finalized, and there are still some problems in technology, but I am sure that the time will not be too long. Let's talk about what the harvest of this sneak attack battle was. Wu Chen said with a smile.
"The United States really deserves to be the only superpower in the world, that is, it is very rich, and the value of the ammunition seized this time is extremely amazing, there are 6,000 of the most advanced anti-tank missiles, and 3,000 of each of the two models of Hellfire and Javelin. Fifteen million rounds of ammunition of various types, 155 mm grenades used in self-propelled guns and 120 mm shells used in Abrams main battle tanks, each numbered as many as 3,000 rounds. ”
"There are also the most advanced night vision equipment, bulletproof vests, satellite communication devices, individual communication equipment and other combat equipment, as for those assault rifles, squad machine guns, sniper rifles, shotguns and other light weapons, canned food, cigarettes, military uniforms, shirts, mountain boots, backpacks, water bottles and other military supplies, we have not counted the specific quantities for the time being, and we have used the looted vehicles to transport them to temporary hiding points in the mountains, and it took more than two hours to complete the transportation, and then move to the ammunition depot at night." Eric said.
Why did the U.S. fighter planes not take off and destroy these munitions, Eric expected such a situation, and directly tied the wounded to the ammunition transport vehicle, after the U.S. military received the report, they only had no choice but to scold, the loss of ammunition is a matter of money, if these wounded are also served, they will immediately be sent to a military court martial, which is an act of murder of life.
"The NATO army's attack on Kandahar and Herat was seriously hindered, the guerrilla forces and the Taliban army cooperated tacitly and implemented our tactics, and the US army, which advocates the principle of firepower first, consumes a very large amount of ammunition, so it is in a hurry to transport ammunition materials from the territory of Badastan to the front line, the cost of air transportation is too high, and the quantity cannot meet the demand."
"The task of the special forces is to dismantle the transportation lines of the US military, forcing them to have to purchase materials for mercenaries, and they must be mentally prepared, this is a war that has lasted for many years, and since the war in Afghanistan has begun, the war in Iraq is not far off." Wu Chen said.
"Boss, the U.S. military was beaten so badly by us in Afghanistan, they still have time to think about fighting Iraq, they think they have a lot of money or they think that the U.S. military is not dying fast enough, even Afghanistan can drag the U.S. government half to death." Eric said.
The war has been going on for nearly three months, the United States has lost more than 3,000 American soldiers in Afghanistan, nearly 2,000 people have been admitted to hospitals for treatment, and more than half will be discharged because of disability.
"This loss is nothing to the United States, the key is not a one-time investment, the government and the military will not feel distressed, the problem in Iraq is more serious than Afghanistan, once united with European countries, the status of the dollar will be threatened, this is unacceptable to the US government, no matter how much money is spent, no matter how many people die, it must be brought down the rule of President Saddam, this is a matter of principle."
"The Kurdish army will participate in this war, which is equivalent to an indirect contest between the mercenary corps and the US military, the future situation is very grim, and the pressure will be much greater, you train the local special forces commander in Afghanistan, and I will transfer you to Iraq in a year to start planning and preparing for the war. This battle was fought beautifully, but I am more concerned about whether the things I have specially explained to you have achieved the intended purpose? Wu Chen said.
"In this process, I deliberately exposed some special forces countries and nationalities, such as members of France and Germany, as well as members of Israel, whose appearance must be unclear, wearing sunglasses to cover their faces, but from the size and conversation, it can be judged that these people are definitely not Afghan natives." Eric said with a smile.
