Chapter 766: Night Attack III

The 1st and 2nd Cossack Mechanized Infantry Divisions, which were subordinate to the Eastern European Corps, were a modern army that had been formed since three years.

Wu Chen plans to set up ten new Cossack divisions, don't underestimate the name of the three words Cossack, this is a great honor in the mercenary corps, and hundreds of thousands of people in the Afrika Korps have hung up the name of Africa, which shows how much Wu Chen attaches importance to this fighting nation.

As for the First Armored Division of the Federal Military Police, it has just been formed, but it is the elite of the elite of the mercenary corps, and the recognition of Wu Chen and the Golden Triangle Federation is the highest. The gendarmerie is a specially formed force selected from all over the world, and the officers and soldiers are from the elite armies of all over the world, and they must be permanent residents of the Golden Triangle Federation, otherwise they cannot be selected.

The gendarmerie is not only responsible for the maintenance of military discipline, but also for the security of important military facilities and social order, and when necessary, it plays the role of the main divisional force, and is the last strategic general reserve of the mercenary corps. In addition, the gendarmerie unit is also a training team for the echelon of reserve officers, and the officers of the vast majority of newly formed units are selected from the gendarmerie.

The most distinctive point is that the 1st Armored Division of the Federal Military Police is equipped with 348 Tyrannosaurus Rex 1 main battle tanks from two armored brigades, which is known as the world's No. 1 main battle tank, equipped with 600 Wolf Warrior Type 1 infantry fighting vehicles from two infantry brigades, and equipped with 72 Immortal Bird 1 helicopter gunships from two battalions!

Because of financial problems, the latest main equipment of the mercenary corps, which represents the world's cutting-edge scientific and technological level, is given priority to the armies of the Gulf countries, and even the two main armored divisions have not yet been reequipped!

In such a situation, the saturation bombing of strategic bombers and bombers is absolutely not feasible, which will harm the safety of their own people, but fighter-bombers and fighters, as well as helicopter gunships, have caused a large number of casualties to the coalition forces.

The Condor 1 propeller fighter has two 12.7mm Gatling three-barreled cannons on the wings, and fifteen hardpoints on the fuselage and wings, which can hang sniper targeting pods, cannon pods, rocket nests, ordinary bombs, cluster bombs, laser-guided bombs, anti-tank missiles and infrared combat missiles.

The A-10 attack plane, which specializes in dealing with armored forces, has a 30-mm Gatling seven-barrel cannon in the nose, and the wings can carry four 19-pack 70-mm rocket pods. The famous AH-64 Longbow Apache helicopter gunship is equipped with an M-203E-1 30mm single-barreled electric chain cannon under the nose, and is equipped with four M-261 19 70mm Sea Serpent rocket nests.

These planes can fly at low altitudes, especially helicopter gunships, and they can hover in the air, which is really easy to deal with infantry, and the ground near the airport has been turned over by shells, and there are fragments of corpses everywhere.

"Your Excellency Commander, we underestimate the strength and tactical literacy of the Afrika Korps, I am afraid that they have long deduced our intentions, and used the airfield and two divisions as bait to induce us to make a big mistake, now the northern attack group has been surrounded by the forces of the Afrika Korps, judging by the size of the other side, there are at least two mechanized infantry divisions and one armored division, plus the first armored division and the first air assault division of the African Korps, we are completely finished!" The commander of the African mercenaries reported.

"Report to the general, the enemy has suddenly increased a large number of Apache helicopter gunships, and it has increased exponentially, judging by this situation, there must be reinforcements arriving, and we have no hope of victory!" This was reported by a retired colonel who commanded the battle from the front of Israel.

"Order all troops, the rear team to turn into the front team and start withdrawing from the battlefield, discarding all heavy weapons and most of the ammunition, rushing to the location of the convoy with only light weapons and equipment, leaving the 105th Infantry Brigade and the 106th Infantry Brigade to start blocking the enemy on the spot, and buy time for the retreat of the large force." Lieutenant General Div made his decision immediately, without the slightest dragging his feet.

Whether it is an attack aircraft, a fighter-bomber, or a helicopter gunship, there is a limit on the amount of bombs, and after the fight, it must be reloaded, and this is the opportunity for the coalition forces, when the density of fire in the air is reduced, the great retreat begins.

The Israeli Army is a world-renowned and formidable army, and without hesitation when receiving the order, two brigades immediately rushed to the designated position and continued to fire at the Afrika Korps, and the rest of the troops withdrew from the battlefield one after another according to the orders of the commanders, and the huge convoy sent half of the vehicles to meet them.

"Our planes are in a state of exhaustion of ammunition, and there is really no way to pursue them, so we can only wait until they are loaded to continue the operation. But the current situation is that we do not have such logistical conditions, and in order to prevent the explosion of the arsenal, all kinds of ammunition are transported by transport helicopters to temporary camps hundreds of kilometers away, and it will take more than an hour to go back and forth! ”

"The runway of the airport has been blown up by the enemy's rocket artillery and howitzers, and our fighters and bombers have to land at other airfields and then reload, obviously, they can't catch up! This is not the case with cutting-edge equipment, which is both powerful and flawed. Hunter said helplessly.

Take the Longbow Apache helicopter gunship as an example, which can carry 1,200 rounds of 30-mm shells, but the normal rate of fire is 625 rounds per minute! If the maximum rate of fire mode is turned on, it can shoot 1,000 shells per minute, and it can be reloaded, which takes at least half an hour to 40 minutes!

"We ate the northern attack group of the coalition forces and the troops blocking in front of us, even if this counterattack is a great success, those who escaped should not die, but as long as they fight against our mercenary army, there will always be a time!" Thompson said hatefully.

"Don't worry, the boss has transferred twelve AC-130H/U aerial gunboats from the Luanda military base in Angola, and you will be able to meet these guys in half an hour, and the other party will be too late to cry!" Eric said with a smile after answering the phone.

The AC-130H/U air gunboat is an attack aircraft converted from the C-130 transport aircraft of the US Air Force, which was originally used to deal with the Vietnamese guerrillas, and later because of the special needs of the mercenary corps, 38 were successively modified in five years.

This aerial gunboat is equipped with four Allison T56-A-15 turboprop engines, a 40-mm Bofors gun on the side, an M102 105-mm howitzer with two 20-mm M61 Vulcan cannons, and a 25-mm GAU-12 cannon with 3,000 rounds of ammunition and an automatic reload capacity of 1,800 rounds per minute, with a range of more than 3,600 meters.

"The boss is the boss, no wonder he criticized us for not having strategic vision and not being a qualified commander, this time he taught us a good lesson!" Hunter said with a sigh, and this sentence also resonated with those present.

All the large-scale battles since the establishment of the mercenary corps were personally commanded by Wu Chen, the boss, and each result ended in victory. These executives have been eager to get the same opportunity to try out how capable they really are.

But today's confrontation tells them a fact, no one can succeed casually, every victory is not as simple as it seems, if Wu Chen is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the enemy who comes to sneak attack should not think of going back.
