Chapter 1005: Abandoning the City
The US aircraft carrier battle group parked near the port of Karachi, with two Ali Burke-class guided missile destroyers, fired as many as 18 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Kandahar and Herat.
Subsequently, four B-1B strategic bombers dropped tons of aerial bombs on two cities, causing the collapse of urban houses and the scattering of corpses, causing huge casualties and economic losses to the people in the cities.
The 1st Mechanized Infantry Division and the 101st Air Assault Division cooperated to launch an attack on Herat, the 82nd Airborne Division and the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division coordinated to launch an attack on Kandahar, and part of the 1st Armored Division and the 10th Mountain Division also participated in this battle.
Each city was bombarded with more than 200 155-millimeter howitzers, and then hundreds of helicopter gunships and transport helicopters swooped down on the city from all directions like locusts to carry out rapid air-landing operations.
"This is too exaggerated, with the current military strength, there is no problem in attacking a medium-sized country, in fact, a city can have a brigade at most." The commander of the 1st Armored Division said as he looked at the scene in front of him.
Indeed, this kind of force is placed in any country in the world, it is also absolutely one of the best, the US government's terrorist investment in the army, so that the combat effectiveness of each army leaps to the forefront of the world, if the six main divisions attack at the same time, there are really few countries can withstand it.
"The pressure on the Ministry of Defense is also very high, and the president has decided to take the major cities of Afghanistan at any cost and complete the actual occupation of this country, so we naturally have to go all out, otherwise the government and the military will become a joke."
"These Taliban troops are really not easy to deal with, it has been less than four months now, we have lost nearly 10,000 people, and more than 2,000 wounded are hospitalized, it is said that the headquarters of the coalition forces was attacked last night, the temporary air base was bombed miserably, and all the war materials were destroyed, forcing us to borrow ammunition from mercenaries to fight, when has the American army ever had such a thing?" said the division commander of the airborne division.
The vast majority of officers and soldiers do not know what happened at the main military base in Kabul last night, but they, the generals, have already been informed by the coalition command, and fortunately, the problem of ammunition and materials has been solved, otherwise these troops can only delay the attack on the city.
"The battle in the city is not fierce at all, only sporadic gunshots, which does not conform to our previous judgment, is it because we found that the difference in strength is too great, and we took the initiative to hand over the city?" The commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division said to the commander of the 101st Air Assault Division with a frown.
It's a pity that this time the most powerful forces were used, but the battle was not shocking, and overnight the Taliban army disappeared without a trace, and did not encounter decent resistance, at most it was a company-platoon-level firefight, and the participating troops were also puzzled.
In the past, the defense forces in the city caused great damage to the US troops, there were sneak attacks by bazookas and anti-tank missiles everywhere, sniper rifles fired deadly bullets anytime and anywhere, there were anti-tank mines and anti-infantry mines everywhere in the streets and alleys, sandbag fortifications and tunnels were densely packed, what is wrong with this today?
"I really didn't feel it before, you actually had such a wild time, it didn't count last night's tossing, and you didn't let me go in the morning!" Eva sat at the table with a red face, she felt that she couldn't sit still, and her whole body seemed to be drained of strength.
"So, you're not happy with my previous performance?" Wu Chen took a sip of hot milk and said in a good mood.
"That's not it, I used to be satisfied, but now I'm afraid, I really doubted whether I could still live." Eva glanced at Wu Chen, her eyes full of coquettishness and shyness.
"My dear, I want to play to the extreme, and it depends on how the state is, you know! In the afternoon we went to England, Europe is also very fond of pirate movies, I hope to have a big surprise, you rest after dinner, I go to Michael to talk about the tryouts, I don't come back at noon, just meet at the airport. Wu Chen smiled and said.
Last night, he got Eric's battle report, the special forces combat team overfulfilled the task, and actually grabbed twelve helicopters, which is six or seven billion dollars, and they are all the most advanced helicopters in the world.
There are more than 1,000 Longbow Apache helicopter gunships, which is not too important, but six MH-53J Pave Eagle assault transport helicopters, which are special assault helicopters for the US special forces, when necessary, the special forces can fly these helicopters to fight, much faster.
"This guy slipped away as soon as he heard that he was going to hold a concert, it's a pity!" Michael shook his head and said.
"It's such a charming and masculine guy, and I don't know why, he always hides away when he sees me." Madonna said a little unwillingly.
"Although Wu Chen is a super director, he is still an Oriental after all, with a very conservative mind, your life style is famous all over the world, and you are destined to be two straight lines that will never intersect." Michael pouted.
Madonna was speechless for a while, what is her private life, she knows best in her heart, although Wu Chen's reputation is not much better than hers, but it is often like this, Wu Chen has no opinion on her personal life, this is her business, but the two are destined not to go together.
Just now, Wu Chen went to the headquarters of Dream Warner Records Group and talked about the "Singing the World" audition, Michael very much agrees with this, the group really needs to constantly replenish fresh blood in order to maintain its youthful vitality.
However, after the last concert, Wu Chen also had a large number of fans, and strongly requested to hold a global tour again, who knew that when this guy heard this, he actually went out on the phone, and then ...... I don't know where to go.
"The main force of the U.S. military is now at a sharp edge, and the guerrilla forces and the Taliban army combined can't resist such the world's strongest army, and we must wait until the other side disperses its forces before we can take advantage of it and tell our fighters that what they have to do is to be patient and wait, and the U.S. government will not throw all the main forces into Afghanistan." Wu Chen called Thompson in the car.
