When Samuel heard Wu Chen's criticism, he did not feel angry at all, and the intelligence work must not be sloppy at all, and this is directly related to the success or failure of the battle, and to put it more seriously, it will even affect the peace process in Sierra Leone as a whole.

Wu Chen continued: "Before the arrival of my main battle tank, your government army must find out the detailed location of the rebels' garrison, whether there are any commanding heights and defensive positions around, how many open and dark posts, and how many roads, including those inconspicuous paths, must also be marked on the map, which is related to whether or not they can successfully encircle and suppress the main force of the other side." ”

After this Samuel left, Kirill and Eric, who came with him, shook their heads, and even Lilith was a little disdainful, and said: "Even this simple common-sense question can make mistakes, it seems that the military quality of this government army is indeed not very good, no wonder it will be defeated by the rebels, and they have to ask us for help." ”

Kirill said with a smile: "Lilis, the level of knowledge and training of the Sierra Leone army, not to mention modern or high-tech, it is estimated that even the level of the armies of various countries during the First World War is far behind, the weapons and equipment are even more backward, there are no artillery, no planes and no tanks, how much combat effectiveness can such an army have?" ”

Then he said: "The vast majority of officers basically belong to the kind of halfway monks, and they all rise from the bottom step by step, think about it, a captain can obtain the right to rule the whole country, in which country has such a thing happened?" ”

Hall's container ship arrived at the wharf two days later in the night, and the 232 tank crews who had been trained in advance immediately began to go to the designated positions to prepare to receive the tanks; these people used to be the officers and men of the armored battalions of various countries, and they were all commanders, gun commanders, loaders, and drivers of the main battle tanks.

Wu Chen watched the Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks drive out of the containers, and couldn't help laughing, Hall is still very meticulous in doing things, it can be seen that these tanks have been carefully maintained, repaired and cleaned, they look like they are new, in fact, this kind of tank has not experienced any actual combat, no matter how bad it is, it can't be bad.

The fifty-five-ton big guy gives people a very shocking feeling, and the officers and soldiers of the government army have red eyes when they look at it, no matter how backward the army is, they also know the name of the Leopard 2 main battle tank, which is the world's first-class main battle tank!

But then again, even if Wu Chen gave them the main battle tank, they could only stare dryly, this kind of high-tech heavy equipment is not something that can be controlled casually, otherwise how did the armored army come from?

Fifty infantry fighting vehicles then also began to unload, each with a crew of three and seven people, which is the standard five hundred. Twelve helicopter gunships, with a crew of three and eight loaders, this is one hundred and thirty-two people.

Eighteen 152 howitzers required eighteen tractors, each of which formed a group of eight crew members, and the guns were fired with a car, which was another hundred and forty-four people. These are the main combatants, a thousand and eight in all.

The armoured convoy quickly launched a night operation, with two transport helicopters temporarily acting as a reserve mobile force to transport the necessary supplies, remaining in the harbor and holding the troops on board, with separate guards on board and no need to worry about security. Wu Chen and other commanders rode in Humvee off-road vehicles, and more than 200 logistics support personnel also had their own vehicles, and drove to the target location overnight, and they had to reach the designated position before dawn.

Sierra Leone is mainly a plain terrain, and there are many sand dunes, and the terrain is very flat, which is very suitable for mechanized marching. Don't underestimate the big guy like the main battle tank, which can reach a speed of more than 70 kilometers per hour, which is not slow at all, and even faster than the speed of the Bradley infantry fighting vehicle. From Freetown to Salon, it adds up to more than 200 kilometers, and the crawler can reach it in four to five hours at most, and other vehicles are faster.

The government forces also showed the efficiency of the locals, with guides directing the road every kilometer along the way, making every effort to get this world's first-class mercenary force to the battlefield in the shortest possible time.

Looking at the torrent of steel in front of him, the leaders of the Provisional Ruling Council were all dumbfounded, Nima, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have said that mercenaries could be strong to this extent, he would definitely spit on him!

Therefore, the general of the army, Major Karoma, made a suggestion to the leaders: "Mr. President, members of the committee, our Sierra Leone government army must carry out reforms, replace more advanced weapons and equipment, and receive theoretical education in modern warfare, and the Golden Triangle mercenary corps is the best partner." ”

Slatser and the committee members nodded again and again on the surface, but in fact, they were very contemptuous of the performance of the government army in their hearts, paralyzed, although the government army is not comparable to the mercenary army, but compared with the rebels, everyone uses similar weapons, and you can't beat the rebels under the same circumstances, is this a special weapon problem?

At about 3 o'clock in the morning, Wu Chen and his armored troops rushed to the west of a village on the outskirts of Salon, about three kilometers away, and the helicopter gunships and artillery battalion stopped on a high slope more than 20 kilometers away from the village, and began to build artillery positions, preparing to launch an artillery attack on the rebels according to the coordinates sent back by the observers.

Samuel, who was in charge of intelligence work, was already waiting here, and there were more than 2,000 people from the government army who came with him, and Wu Chen could see that these were all veterans who had participated in actual combat, and he could not see the fear and apprehension of the recruits on his face.

The car stopped in a small forest a kilometer from the village, where there was an observation point for government troops, from which the village was brightly lit and the rebels had used generators.

Wu Chen took Kirill and Samuel and quietly approached the village, a sentry who was napping with a gun, Wu Chen reached out from behind to cover his mouth like a ghost, and cut his neck with a knife, the speed was so fast and agile that Captain Samuel felt his neck swish.

More than ten meters behind the sentry was a firing point used to block the intersection, with a machine gun erected, and the other five people were sleeping, and the snoring sound was extremely harsh.

What made Wu Chen's eyes tremble was that next to these five people, there were two defenseless women, who could see that they must have been miserably humiliated, their bodies were full of scars and bite marks left by the devil's claws, and their legs still had traces of violence.

Wu Chen and Kirill glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and pulled out the pistol with a silencer, sending these bastards to hell in a few seconds. In order to prevent the government army from attacking, there are many sentry posts and patrols around the village, using trees and houses to build a simple defensive position, through infrared night vision devices, Wu Chen can see clearly.

Samuel lowered his voice and said to the two gagged women, "Don't make a noise, we are government troops, and we are here to rescue you." Then he drew his dagger and cut the rope from them.

The two women with frightened eyes suddenly turned into joy and excitement when they heard Samuel's words, and almost bit their lips, but they resisted but did not make a sound.

After being freed, I hurriedly found the torn clothes and put them on, although I could no longer cover my body, I finally had a psychological comfort, we had clothes, but they were torn.

"We will adopt the method of encircling on all sides and attacking from all sides, and send your fighters behind 50 infantry fighting vehicles and 58 tanks, and follow the armored vehicles to launch an attack and encircle this small village seamlessly."

"In the first round, howitzers and smoothbore guns of main battle tanks will fire for three minutes, and helicopter gunships will also fire rockets to kill the enemy to the greatest extent, and I estimate that two-thirds of them will be eliminated in the shortest possible time. In the second round, the armored vehicles in front of the infantry began to encircle and destroy the remaining enemy, and the helicopters would reinforce everyone in the air to eliminate the fish that could be seen. ”

"It's just that I'm thinking about a problem, the lethality of large-caliber howitzers is very large, and there is almost no chance of survival within a few tens of square meters of a single gun, which will cause heavy casualties to the people of this village, and we don't want to do such a thing." Wu Chen said with a frown.
