Chapter 1239 Bait Fishing IV
An extremely tragic offensive and defensive battle began, two brigades and one aviation combat brigade of the 5th Mechanized Infantry Division of the Mercenary Cossack, and two paratrooper brigades of the 2nd Airborne Division, fearless in the face of an opponent of 80,000 people, stubbornly held on to their positions, and all the weapons and equipment burst out with the greatest firepower, and actually suppressed the enemy's firepower.
M109 self-propelled howitzers, M270 multiple rocket launchers, 90-mm recoilless guns and 107-mm mortars, M198 155-mm howitzers, M3 recoilless guns, 60-mm mortars and 81-mm mortars, crazy outpouring shells and rockets, the requirements of the headquarters are simple, not counting ammunition consumption.
Helicopter gunships repeatedly circled over the battlefield, firing Hellfire anti-tank missiles and 70-millimeter rockets, plus Tao anti-tank missile launchers and Javelin anti-tank missile launchers of the ground forces, and anti-tank missile launchers, repelling attacks by enemy armored forces again and again.
How cruel is it that the front of the position is full of blood and dead bodies, and the wreckage of armored vehicles is scattered everywhere, and it actually provides shooting bunkers for the coalition troops.
"There is a mistake in the information we have obtained, the number of the opponent's M270 multiple rocket launchers is much larger than that of the US military, the power is too strong, and the accuracy of their attack on armored vehicles is too high, this must be the mercenary regiment using the anti-tank missile launcher modified by the former Soviet Union's main battle tank, equipped with its own fire control radar, and there is also a new type of multiple rocket launcher, we have several large-scale charges, all of which were defeated under the fire coverage of this multiple rocket launcher." The commander of the security company of the American Veterans League, holding a telescope, said.
"The density of the opponent's firepower is beyond our imagination, it seems that the previous judgment was a bit wrong, fortunately we have reinforced concrete tunnels and bunkers as protection, otherwise we will definitely not be able to stop the attack of others this time." said the brigade commander of the 23rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade.
The coalition formed by the Ugandan government army and the American mercenary company also has an extremely amazing firepower density, and everyone's army weapons and equipment are similar, but the number of towed artillery is obviously more than that of the mercenary corps, and it is also equipped with M109 self-propelled howitzers and M270 multiple rocket launchers, which is nothing more than a small number.
"What, the special forces were actually surrounded and annihilated by the other side? The mercenaries do not despise their opponents at all, this sentence is too true, our special forces interspersed from the national park and wanted to attack the camp of Mutuwanga, blow up their ammunition depots and oil depots, who would have thought that the opponent also ambushed the special forces! ”
"Let me continue to carry out the assault, all the troops are on the wheel in batches, our only advantage is the number of personnel, I want to see how long they can hold out even if they are iron men!" The commander of the American professional security company said through gritted teeth.
The mercenary corps only arranged the strength of a division-level combat team here, but the firepower was stronger than all the coalition forces in Kasese combined, and it could only be hard fighting and consume the opponent's vital forces.
"The four brigades together lost more than 2,000 people, this result is really unexpected, if we didn't have bunkers and fortifications, the number of losses would be even more, the strength of the other side is much stronger than we thought, and the military quality is not bad at all."
"Tell the commanders of the Fifth Mechanized Infantry Division and the Second Airborne Division to hurry up and arrange for the medical team to go to the battlefield to treat the wounded, and bring back the bodies of those brothers who have lost their combat effectiveness and the dead brothers to be properly placed. Our troops fought all night, physically and mentally tired, and in addition to ammunition, let the food trucks in the camp prepare the meals and send them to the front in insulated cars, so that the brethren could eat and drink well. ”
"Inform the 6th Cossack Mechanized Infantry Division and the 8th Mechanized Infantry Division in Goma to send a brigade combat team to reinforce Mutuwanga for at least three days." Thompson said.
From three o'clock in the morning to seven o'clock in the morning, four hours of high-intensity attack, the coalition forces were also exhausted, and at the same time, they were shocked by the combat effectiveness and toughness of the mercenary corps. The allied artillery bombardment overturned the entire reinforced concrete defense line, and the rocket artillery blew up the entire position, but even so, the mercenary troops withstood the attack.
"In the first air raid by helicopter gunships and fighter jets, we were caught off guard, losing more than 100 main battle tanks, more than 200 armored vehicles, and more than 300 vehicles, killing more than 8,000 people and wounding more than 4,000 people."
"In the second forced offensive, up to now, we have lost more than 200 main battle tanks and more than 100 infantry fighting vehicles, as well as more than 300 armored transport vehicles, more than 21,000 people killed, plus the wounded, about a quarter of the combat strength has been lost, fortunately, most of them are Ugandan government troops." said the commander of the American professional security company.
The commander of the United States Veterans Union Security Company, who was having breakfast in the woods of the Democratic Republic of Congo's Virunga National Park, pointed to the satellite television powered by diesel generators, which had been ignited by war and broadcast by major television stations.
"Ladies and gentlemen, at 12 o'clock last night, the Ugandan government army brazenly crossed the border line, entered the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and launched an attack on the border troops of the Democratic Republic of the Congo army, and the second war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo suddenly broke out. We spoke to Mr. Thompson, General Manager of the Golden Triangle International Security Company and Secretary of Defense of the Federal Government of the Golden Triangle, and now we have a briefing from him. ABC supporters said.
"Audience friends, I am Thompson, general manager of the Golden Triangle International Security Company, and last night, the mercenaries of the Ugandan government army and two mercenary companies of the United States first set off from the town of Kasese to the town of Buwela on the border of Uganda, and then killed the soldiers at the border checkpoint of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and rushed into the territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo."
"Up to now, an infantry division of the Ugandan government army, still near the border town of Kasindi, is engaged in a fierce battle with a mechanized infantry division of the Golden Triangle International Security Company near the town of Mutuwanga, near Beni, and there is still no ceasefire for four hours with a joint force of up to 80,000 people, using main battle tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armoured transport vehicles, under the cover of self-propelled howitzers, multiple rocket launchers and towed howitzers, near the town of Mutuwanga near Beni." Thompson said.
