Boom, boom, hundreds of towed 155-millimeter howitzers of the South African mercenaries launched an attack on the position of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, and a salvo was 100 shells, and the dust was all over the place, and the earth was shaking incessantly, and it continued for more than an hour without stopping.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the South African Army's most advanced 120 Horn main battle tanks, more than 200 African Badger infantry fighting vehicles and 400 Oryx armored reconnaissance vehicles, with tens of thousands of mercenaries, slowly advanced.

"The enemy's attack is very fierce, and the positions are still under artillery shelling, but the infantry and armored units are advancing very slowly, it seems that they are afraid of being attacked by the gunship group, and they have advanced only two kilometers in an hour, which should be a tentative attack, and my fear is that in the evening the enemy will launch a surprise attack, and with the cover of night, their casualties can be minimized." The commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division, reported to the command.

In the headquarters of Bunia Airport, the high-ranking members of the mercenary corps looked at the sand table map with a somewhat serious expression. The mode of night combat is not new to them, and it is also an examination question to test the true combat effectiveness of an army.

Infrared night vision devices are only equipped with officers above the company level, and the equipment used in individual night battles, the main force of the mercenary corps has not yet been fully equipped, and the only ones who can meet the standards are the officers and soldiers of the special forces. Of course, main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, as well as helicopter gunships and other equipment, all have electronic equipment for night warfare.

I dare not say what the night combat ability of the South African soldiers is, but the more than 6,000 Israeli soldiers are all veterans who have survived the battlefield and are estimated to have actual combat experience, while the officers and men of the Afrika Korps have only been trained in night combat during the exercise, and the gap between the two sides is very large.

"Order the 1st Air Assault Division of the Afrika Korps, closely cooperate with the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division to prevent the enemy from engaging in night battles, Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and Predator drones, monitor enemy movements for twenty hours, and fighters and fighter-bombers equipped with ammunition and ready to take off at any time to support." Thompson gave the order.

Wu Chen sat quietly on the balcony of the villa, with a bottle of expensive Lafite red wine beside him, the year is eighty-two years, because the climatic conditions of this year are good, so the quality of the red wine is very good, in fact, it is not as expensive as advertised, the price is slowly hyped, and the next bottle is about a thousand dollars a bottle.

He's always been a bit of a fan of alcohol, but tonight he's a little nervous, so he'll need alcohol to relax. The enemy was intent on fighting this battle, and for this purpose it mobilized 50,000 troops, equipped with thousands of main battle tanks and hundreds of infantry fighting vehicles to carry out a surprise attack, which was a great test for the unsuspecting Afrika Korps.

Perhaps the number of people killed in one night will exceed 10,000 people, this is the officers and soldiers of the Afrika Korps who have worked hard to cultivate in the past few years, and the mercenary corps has invested a lot of manpower and material resources for this, Wu Chen thought of the possible losses that were about to occur, and he was distressed and unbearable.

But even if he is the boss who holds the highest power, he can't easily interfere with the command of the front line, first of all, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and there is no such thing as a winning general, why should it be said that a general will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, this is the truth!

The high-level members of the mercenary corps used to be middle-level officers, and they had not personally commanded a war of this scale, which was a great flaw, and its outcome would be fatal, the war was not fought by soldiers, but by commanders, and one general was incompetent and exhausted to death the three armies, which is a very classic description of China.

Generals who have not grown up on the battlefield will only talk on paper, and there are too many textbooks about the use of various tactics and classic combat examples. Only by sharpening themselves in actual combat can they quickly become the pillars of the mercenary army, and for this, sacrifice is inevitable.

Second, a soldier who has not experienced actual combat is not a qualified soldier, and no matter how much military knowledge he receives in peacetime, no matter how much training he receives and how much he is tempered by acting, a showmanship is a showcase, and the battlefield is ever-changing.

Of course, if the enemy carries out a large-scale night sneak attack, the Afrika Korps will not wait for the soldiers to come to the city to know, that is too underestimating their military quality! But how to use the greatest courage and the strongest skills in such an emergency situation to attack the incoming enemy head-on, how to engage with twice as many veterans as oneself, and how to protect oneself and kill the enemy, this is the biggest gain in a battle.

There is another big reason why Wu Chen can't move, Huaxia has always paid attention to the need to use suspicious people, since he has given command to his subordinates, he must believe in their ability to cope with any difficulties, and believe that his soldiers can defeat the enemy.

Casually meddle in command, this is a taboo for leaders, and it will lead to subordinates detaching from morality, you are so capable, can't you just command? But he has three heads, six arms and nine legs, and he can't control such a huge sphere of influence as the mercenary army, and he has to hand it over to his subordinates in the end.

"Boss, it seems that you were very unhappy tonight, and you didn't go down for dinner, and you were drinking on the balcony alone, what happened?" A crisp and pleasant voice said.

"Oh, it's Ma Su, as long as it's a person, there are times when you're in a bad mood, and I'm no exception, in fact, there are so many smooth sails in life, the key is the adjustment of your own mentality, just think about it. You have a very good talent, a strong personality, and your courage is not small, the company has just entered the Chinese market, there are many opportunities, and you cherish this opportunity. Wu Chen smiled and said.

He is more familiar with this girl's experience, the key is that the boyfriend she found is famous, and he is also a bull in the sports world, no matter how big a mistake he made later, his past contributions are indelible, and those who can win glory for the country are worthy of respect.

And this beautiful girl has an extremely strong character, as an actress who breaks into the showbiz alone and faces a complex environment, there is no strong background at home, and it is not easy to get to the point of a film and television star. Although it can't be said to be popular, it can receive a lot of attention.

Ma Su is indeed not very old, she is only twenty years old now, but she is very sensible, she is very good at making friends in the crew, respecting her predecessors who debuted early, and a large group of actors have a good impression of her, which is the factor of success.

"It turns out that the boss didn't eat in the restaurant, so he hid here and chatted with Ma Su?" With a gentle and sweet voice, Xu Qing and Gao Yuanyuan also came to the balcony. "No, I came up after eating, just go around, you can talk to the boss, I'll go back to my room and sleep." Ma Su said hurriedly.

"It's okay, we also saw that the director was not in a good mood and didn't have dinner, so we came to take a look, there are too many people, and there is such a good red wine, what a pity not to taste it? The 82-year-old Lafite is now the favorite of the rich people of Port City, because of the vintage of the grapes, the quality is very good, and it is a rare treasure of Bordeaux wine. "Xu Qing is very interested in red wine.
