Chapter 937: Serial Set II

Since the 80s of the last century, the United States has relied on its own high-tech superiority to launch many wars and won them, oh, Somalia was a failure, but it involved political reasons, and its own casualties were also minimal, such as the loss of more than 1,000 people in just a few days, and we have to go back to the famous Vietnam War and the Korean Peninsula War.

This time it's too evil, Afghanistan, the poorest country in the world, an army with extremely backward weapons and equipment, has continuously caused heavy losses to the US military that occupies all the advantages, is it possible that the US military that believes in God will be cursed by the gods here?

"That's not it, when the Taliban howitzer battalion retreated, they actually planted a remote-controlled bomb near the artillery, and the SEALs were careless and killed more than 20 people on the spot. The division chief of staff said, his tone trembling slightly.

If there is a carelessness at the beginning, it is really careless, this is a very normal thing in war, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, after all, the coalition forces are not familiar with the situation in Afghanistan, and it is reasonable to be ambushed, and the enemy will not be willing to wait to be beaten.

If there are two carelessness, it is called carelessness, but it can also be understood, people have missed horses, horses and hooves, and the other party is too cunning. If you are not careful for the third time, this problem will be serious, and you will be questioned by the high-level about your military literacy, but you will be planted in the pit after three times, what is this called?

It can be seen from this that the opponent's commander's attainments in the use of tactics are absolutely terrifying. At first, an ambush was set up on the main road to make the coalition forces nervous, and then a series of tricks was set up, when the coalition troops came to the outskirts of the city, they were psychologically paralyzed and set up an ambush, and they were about to enter the city, proving that there was no problem!

As for the explosion of the howitzer position, it is also based on this principle, the Navy SEALs are one of the best special forces in the world, how could those team members come to the empty positions and be so cautious? And in order to achieve the goal, he actually let two soldiers die to martyr the country, this heart is really hard enough.

This incident is consistent with the judgment of the division chief of staff, the US military is quite efficient, according to the direction of the trajectory of the howitzer on the battlefield, the Navy SEALs quickly took the Chinook transport helicopter to the suspicious location to start searching, and soon found the howitzer launch site.

The weight of the mortar god horse is less than 40 kilograms, of course, it can be easily taken away, the gun body, seat plate and bracket are disassembled, and the soldier can carry it on his back, but the thirty-six 152 mm heavy howitzers are ruthlessly abandoned, and the seven-ton big guy needs a truck to pull it, and the manpower really can't get it away.

In fact, all the parts that can be removed from the body of these 36 heavy howitzers have been removed, and there is no way to repair them. The howitzers of the former Soviet Union are also strange enough, with a caliber of 152 mm, the howitzers of the United States are basically 155 mm caliber, and the spare parts are not universal, and the Americans who like the new and hate the old do not look down on these howitzers of the former Soviet Union.

The commandos on the helicopter saw only a heavy artillery pestle on the ground, and there was no human figure except for the shell boxes around. In fact, the helicopter circled in the air twice and reconnoitred the ground, but how careful can the reconnaissance be in this environment?

The Navy SEALs have their own pride, among the top ten special forces in the world, they must be ranked second, if not first, how can they afford to look down on the Taliban who only hide in the dark and put cold guns and run away after fighting?

The group had just walked to the side of the cannon and had not yet begun to take a closer look, when tragedy suddenly struck, and a remote-controlled bomb hidden under the cannon was detonated, killing more than 20 team members on the spot. It is conceivable that the explosive charge that can blow up a heavy howitzer does not need to be said at all.

The two Taliban fighters who were hiding in the grass and operating the remote control also knew that they couldn't run, this was the Navy SEALs, so they simply pulled the grenade and died for the country. When the two of them received this mission, they knew that the end would inevitably be a dead end, and if they were caught by these American soldiers, they would not even be able to take prisoners, and the morality of the US military was clear to the whole world.

In this case, although the special forces who are called the petites in the army also have a headache, the other party doesn't care about life and death at all, the soft ones are afraid of the hard, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal ones are afraid of not dying, how can this battle be fought? It's no wonder that people have set traps, they themselves are careless, what is there to complain about, a little paralysis on the battlefield, and the result represents death.

"Although the commanders of these Taliban troops have poor military literacy, this ruthless way impresses me, but it is also too cruel, first costing more than 400 lives to lead the US army into an ambush circle, and then letting two soldiers complete the final mission with a mortal mentality, encountering such an opponent, no matter which country will be uncomfortable, even the United States and NATO." Hunter said.

"There is no way to do it, the Taliban army in Afghanistan and the multinational coalition led by the United States, plus the local faction of the Northern Alliance, there is no advantage at all, the only thing that can compete with the other side is courage, the Taliban army is not afraid of sacrifice, for the sake of the country at the cost of their own lives, the coalition officers and soldiers are incomparable at this point, this is aggression not a homeland defense war, who wants to die on the battlefield in Afghanistan?"

"The previous three axes are over, and the goal set by the boss has basically been achieved, if the next Kabul city offensive and defensive war can also have such an effect, those NATO countries will definitely not work in the future military operations, not afraid of death does not mean to die, who does not want to live well." Eric said.

If the commander of the Taliban army had the slightest hope, he would not want to fight the American army in such a way, this is the life of his brothers! But other than that, they really don't have a good way, and the gap between the two sides is too far away, so far that people despair.

Look at the northern alliance, hitchhiking on the United States and NATO, and soon there was assistance from the United States with weapons and equipment, assault rifles, general-purpose machine guns, mortars, howitzers, and a large number of transport vehicles and Humvees. If it weren't for the lack of modernization, the main battle tanks and helicopter gunships could also be considered.

But as for the Taliban government, except for the secret support of mercenaries, other countries have not extended a helping hand, and few countries have recognized this government. Even if the mercenary corps is willing to help, due to the constraints of conditions, it can only be some backward weapons and equipment of the former Soviet Union, and if they do not take human lives to fill the shortcomings, this battle will not be fought at all.
