Thompson and Hunter are both very good commanders, and after so many years of honing, their abilities are constantly increasing, and it is enough to prove this by being in charge of the General Headquarters and the General Staff that manage more than two million modern armies.

However, they have always lacked the strategic vision and thinking to grasp the overall situation, which is why Wu Chen has not been able to completely let go of decision-making power until now. If you set a milestone and hold them accountable for achieving it, that's fine.

The mercenary corps has worked hard in Afghanistan, done so much preliminary work, and invested so many resources, if it is still the same as before, as soon as the Taliban army comes up, the NATO army and the Northern Alliance will make a mess, and the war to occupy Afghanistan will end in more than two months, then Wu Chen, a person whose soul travels through time and space, will be wasted to the extreme, and his ideal time is half a year.

"Report to the command, the Navy SEALs and the Special Air Service Regiment, with the support of the 160th Army Aviation Combat Regiment, successfully carried out the landing on the outskirts of Mazar-i-Sharif, the position of the Taliban army only has a small number of remaining personnel, most of them died in the air raid, the defensive position is in an undefended situation, and no trace of the Taliban army has been found in the city, it is estimated that they have withdrawn from here." The commander of the Navy SEALs said with a satellite communications device.

"This is in line with our judgment, even if the Taliban army has advanced weapons and equipment, it will not dare to fight the American army head-on, and will only run around like rats, you continue to search and investigate in the city, and the large army will set off immediately." said the commander of the coalition forces.

The forward troops composed of the United States and Britain attacked head-on for the first time, and they were attacked head-on by the Taliban army, and fought a beautiful ambush on the main road.

Who still does not know the armament of the Taliban army, which drives main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and is equipped with helicopter gunships, and suffers heavy losses, if it were not for the fact that the forward troops proved this in interviews, and if it were not for the fact that the wounded in the hospital became corroboration, the military of various countries would not have believed it.

The Second Coalition has become very careful, the Northern Alliance is naturally still in the front, acting as cannon fodder, quite the ruling class of this country, it is not possible not to pay a price, the lives of soldiers in Western countries are very expensive, and if you die, you will have to pay a lot of money, so you will naturally follow behind, and the distance will be at least more than 500 meters.

Of course, in order to reduce the danger of the Northern Alliance, the US military used the most advanced mine detection devices, and advanced little by little, and the helicopter gunships saw dense bushes and grass, and the 30-mm single-barreled electric chain cannon immediately strafed, but it was not until the eyes saw the outskirts of Mazar-i-Sharif that there was nothing unusual and the troops were relieved.

Just entered the village on the outskirts of the city, boom, boom, dozens of mortar shells fell in the marching team, the ghost cried wolf howl, and then, the shells continued to hit, from the point of view of the explosion range and power, it belongs to the light mortar, this kind of curved fire is the most difficult to deal with.

Whoosh, several MANPADS, launched from about three kilometers away, fired at the gunships and reconnaissance helicopters hovering in the air, and saw three gunships and two reconnaissance helicopters fall, one of which was an Apache and smashed into a manned truck, reimbursing dozens of soldiers.

Just as the attacking troops were in battle formation and wanted to carry out a counterattack, the enemy who could not be seen suddenly stopped moving, did not open fire, and did not fire portable anti-aircraft missiles, as if this scene had never happened before.

"Your Excellency Deputy Division Commander, I see that this is a small Taliban army, numbering about four hundred people, carrying mortars and man-portable missile launchers, and rapidly withdrawing to the southeast woods!" A Kiowa reconnaissance helicopter in the distance, hurriedly reporting to the commander of the coalition forces.

"How can there be such a good advantage? Order all the troops to chase me through the village in two ways, and make sure you catch these people, and I will hang them all!" "The Brigadier General of the US Army was furious, patronizing to see if there were any anti-tank mines on the ground, who knew that people were fighting from a long distance, and they would not look at you at all.

"Attention to all troops, try to capture as many complete portable anti-aircraft missiles and launchers as possible, this weapon is too powerful, we must find a solution." The brigadier general thought for a moment, and then issued a second order.

Before the mercenary regiment's Immortal-1 helicopter gunship came out, the U.S. Apache helicopter gunship always occupied the first place, and the U.S. Army did not think that the Immortal Bird-1 helicopter gunship could compare with the battle-hardened Apache helicopter gunship.

However, after coming to Afghanistan, the proud Apache helicopter gunship was shot down by the Taliban army one after another, and the confidence of the US Army began to waver, but the problem was that without the protection of the helicopter gunship, the Army lost its strongest arm.

In fact, there is no aircraft in this world that cannot be shot, take the B-2 stealth strategic bomber as an example, if it can be locked by the radar, it can still be shot down, the key is that the radar of various countries cannot be found for the time being, and there is no ability to develop this technology.

In the past seven years, the mercenary corps has bought more than 1,200 Apache helicopter gunships from the U.S. government, ranking first in the world in terms of ownership.

And the military scientific research department of the mercenary corps, after thoroughly understanding the technology of the Apache helicopter gunship, has created a portable anti-aircraft missile in a targeted manner, with no doubt about its power and accuracy, and it is a strange thing if it cannot be defeated!

More than 400 Taliban fighters, using the cover of grass and bushes, ran desperately, not to run for their lives, but to lead the enemy to a pre-set minefield, just the second ambush, the third ambush is the real killer weapon.

The Abrams main battle tank with a speed of more than 70 kilometers and the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle with a speed of more than 60 kilometers frantically pursued the enemy under the cover of the helicopter gunship, and the 12.7 mm remote-controlled machine gun of the main battle tank and the 7.62 mm machine gun of the loader, the 30 mm single-barreled electric chain cannon of the gunship and the 25 mm cannon of the infantry fighting vehicle were intertwined into a dense network of firepower.

Under such circumstances, almost every minute, Taliban fighters fell, and some were even torn into pieces by large-caliber bullets and machine gun shells.

"When this ambush is over, it would be good to have a tenth of the people left, the firepower of the US military is too fierce, and with the helicopter gunships, these fighters can't dodge at all. Also, why didn't they obey the command, they had already planned their escape route in advance, relying on the trees and grass, and the cover of the potholes, they could have exchanged the maximum result for the minimum cost. "The squadron leader of the special forces looked at the scene in front of him and didn't understand it.
