Mustafa is really going crazy!

He can accept that al-Qaeda, which seems to be powerful, was beaten into a street rat by United Nations forces after the 911 incident; He could accept that the American and British special forces, on a rampage through Afghanistan, took only a month to break into the Afghan capital.

He can accept all this because the United States, known as the "world's policeman", is indeed very strong! Whether it is military, economic, national, or scientific, they are by no means comparable to an armed organization that has gathered by religious fanaticism. Therefore, Mustanfa is proud that he has been "fighting" with the United States for more than 15 years and is still alive.

However, Mustanfa really did not take China in his eyes.

You must know that the East Turkistan terrorists in China are just followers of al-Qaeda. After "visiting" Mr. [***], the top leader of the East Turkistan Organization swore an oath on the spot, obeyed the leadership of Mr. [***], and followed the rhythm of Al-Qaeda's actions. In this case, when it comes to China, there is always an inexplicable but real sense of superiority in Mustanfa.

The fighting in South Africa began two months ago in the early hours of one day.

Mustanfa amassed more than 8,000 heavily armed mercenaries and religious fanatics, who even possessed combat power, tanks, armored vehicles and tanks. Although there are various personnel and equipment, in terms of the number of personnel and weapons and equipment, Mustafa can already be said to be an army!

They were strong and imposing, and they received a report from the "Oriental Petrel" in advance, and launched a surprise attack on the "Oriental Petrel" mercenary group, gaining the upper hand from the very beginning, cutting off all the external communication channels of the "Oriental Petrel" and forming a situation of encirclement.

On the second day of the war, Mustanfa confidently declared to the organization that he would only need three days at most to end the al-Qaeda-led jihad.

As a result, now the war has been going on for more than sixty days and is not over!

In the case of continuous reinforcements, the total number of troops they put into the battlefield has exceeded 10,000, although the Dongfang Haiyan mercenary organization should have run out of ammunition and food and had no fighting spirit, but they are still fighting! Those Chinese veterans, like devils who do not die at all, do not feel pain, they lie quietly in bunkers, lie among the corpses, hide behind houses that have long been bombed into ruins, let the platoon artillery dump shells over their heads, and they also remain motionless, until the "combined forces", under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, singing a variety of war songs, will they gently squint their eyes and pass through the scope on their rifles when they once again step into this land that has been completely scorched by the flames of war. Locked onto the enemy in front of you.

In order to save bullets, in order to ensure that each bullet can destroy an enemy, these [***] people will not shoot together at the command of the commander until the target is fifteen meters in front of them. It was because the two sides were so close that almost every day, the most tragic white-knuckle battles broke out on the battlefield, and almost every day, the religious fanatics would see the seriously wounded [***] people, holding their companions, pulling grenades on their waists.

In comparison, those [***] people are ten times crazier, hotter, wilder, and crazier than them!

What upset Mustanfa the most was that five days ago, "J", who was responsible for fundraising, material deployment and diplomacy within their organization, died unexpectedly in the United Kingdom. In other words, since five days ago, their "joint forces" will no longer be able to receive a steady supply of weapons as before, let alone new mercenaries to report to him, the commander-in-chief, at any time.

……

"Hmph, it's really incompetent, exhausting the three armies!"

This is Jin Zexi, the most direct evaluation of the South African battlefield and Mustanfa, "He really thinks that the Chinese [***] team has eight years of resistance war, three years of liberation war, three years of resistance to US aggression and aid Korea, every time they face a strong enemy whose military strength far exceeds their own, and every time they lose air supremacy, they are beaten by the other side, but in the end they still won the victory, is it by the so-called luck?" ”

In front of Jin Zexi, what was placed was a sand table built up based on the South African battlefield. Looking at this sand table that represented the entire battle situation, the Dongfang Haiyan led by Hai Qingwu lost almost all of the periphery at the beginning of the battle, leaving only their main base based on an underground air-raid shelter.

"Haiqing Dance is worthy of being a super genius who can dance out of the shackles of 'rules' at school." Jin Zexi did not hide her appreciation for Hai Qingwu in her eyes, "The matter was in a hurry, and there was annihilation inside, as soon as the battle began, she lost all the periphery, leaving only the last main base, which seemed to be in no danger to defend, but she was able to make a decision immediately, on the one hand, she ordered her subordinates to guard Lei Hongfei, fortified layer by layer to slow down the enemy's offensive, and on the other hand, commanded the non-combatants in the base, rushed to work overnight, relying on the main base, and set up a honeycomb array outside!" ”

The "honeycomb array" in Jin Zexi's mouth actually refers to the foxhole!

Just like Jin Zexi said, the Chinese [***] team has experienced eight years of resistance to war, three years of liberation, three years to resist US aggression and aid Korea, no matter which war, they are facing a strong enemy whose weapons far surpass their own, and if they want to achieve victory, they must learn how to survive under the cover of the enemy's stormy firepower. In this case, the more and more powerful the squadron, the ability to work in civil engineering, the ability to set up bunkers, can be said to be the world's first!

Military enthusiasts in China always like to go to the forum and use their theoretical knowledge to refute each other, among which some people talk about whether machine gun bunkers and foxholes are as useful as they were during World War II.

The vast majority of military enthusiasts believe that pillboxes and foxholes, in the mountains, can still play a certain role, but in the plains, they have lost their effect. The reason is very simple, modern warfare, the ability to cover firepower, is dozens of times that during the Second World War, not to mention high-precision guided weapons, even if it is an ordinary infantry squad, after discovering a pillbox or foxhole, you can directly use grenades, rocket artillery, flamethrowers, and even snipers to eliminate the target directly at medium and long distances. Therefore, whether it is a machine-gun bunker or a foxhole, the role that can be played in modern warfare is far less than that of the night.

These theoretical experts are not wrong, but after all, they are not experienced professional soldiers, and their knowledge is limited, and it is difficult for them to consider what it would be like if they could combine the three seemingly outdated types of wood and earth engineering such as pillboxes, foxholes, and trenches!

The most important thing is that as a good commander, you must learn to adapt to the times, in their minds, there are only "effective" and "ineffective" tactics, and there is absolutely no division between "outdated" and "fashionable"!

At the end of the night's battle, when Lei Hongfei retreated with his troops, more than 400 foxholes had been dug overnight on the periphery of the main base!

These foxholes have three hundred and fifty individual pits, fifty double foxholes scattered around the main base, and thirty ring bunkers. A single foxhole, of course, is a single person hiding in it, and you can directly use a rifle to launch a counterattack against the invading enemy; On the one hand, when the double foxhole is on guard at night, two people can take turns to rest, and heavy machine guns can be erected to form a fire support point; And those ring bunkers are to dig a three-meter-diameter pit in the ground, which can allow three people to stay in it at the same time, and set up a mortar!

In other words, these more than 400 foxholes contain rifles, heavy machine guns, and artillery at the same time, a three-in-one fire defense network combination.

These paratrooper pits, one every fifteen meters, form a dense protective net outside the main base.

When the morning sun rose the next day, I finally saw everything in front of me, and in the face of this kind of defensive tactics that were carried forward by the armies of various countries in World War II, but now they are obviously out of date, those mercenaries who have also experienced a hundred battles are all stunned.

That's right, the individual pit, in the face of increasingly powerful modern heavy weapons, the protection is obviously insufficient. To use a simple analogy, as long as a heavy artillery shell with a caliber of more than 200 millimeters hits the opposite position, within 35 meters, not to mention hiding in a foxhole, even if it is hiding in a machine gun bunker made of reinforced concrete, it will be shocked to death by the shock wave formed by the explosion of the shell!

As long as they use large-caliber artillery of more than two hundred millimeters and slowly bombard the defense line of the [***] people, sooner or later they will be completely annihilated.

But, think about it, who are in these "joint forces".

As mercenaries, individual weapons are very sophisticated, and they have rich experience in actual combat, and when necessary, they will also pay for helicopter gunships, but these expensive equipment, for them, are generally used to transport personnel, and rarely put into actual combat, otherwise, let the enemy shoot down one on the battlefield, it is enough to lose money. In this case, of course, it is even more impossible for them to pull a couple of gate guns with them and run around the world.

And those terrorists and [***] organizations are simply a mess of sand, they are in terrorist training camps, receiving three months of paramilitary training, they dare to claim to be the most heroic fighters, they can carry an AK rifle to the battlefield. Count on them to be armed with large-caliber artillery, or heavy bombers...... Please, you first ask the United States, will you want to do it!

In the battle of the second day, almost all the mercenaries tried their best to refuse to fight. Mustanfa, who thought he was in control, had been carried away by the victory of the night raid, and on the one hand, he scolded these mercenaries in his heart for not being paid and cowards, and on the other hand, he did not shy away from his subordinates and gave the order to launch a general attack and strive to end the battle on the spot.

Small-caliber artillery, unless the shells hit directly into the foxhole, it is impossible to inflict any fatal damage on the [***] people who are honestly nested in it and do not move. Fighter jets show off their might in the air, it looks very dazzling, but the F14 fighter, this kind of antique, can still fly into the air, itself is already a miracle, lack of sufficient parts, lack of long-term support of the necessary weapon system, they can play a role, in addition to visual impact, and psychological deterrence, the actual effect is pitifully small.

So, after all, the most effective weapons in Mustanfa's hands should be the eleven T80 main battle tanks that they bought in South Africa through Ukrainian arms dealers.

Frankly speaking, under the guidance of the former Soviet Union's theory of "simplicity is beauty", the T80 tank designed and manufactured is indeed a very powerful land combat weapon. The tank weighed 46 tons and was armed with a 125mm smoothbore gun that could fire eight shells per minute. At a speed of 70 kilometers per hour, it also rammed enemy fortifications.

The most terrible thing is that this kind of combat vehicle has a composite armor plate on the front, the outermost layer is a steel plate, the middle is fiberglass and steel plates, and the inner lining layer is a non-metallic material. Not counting the internal lining, just steel plates and fiberglass, which are two hundred mm thick, and that's not even counting the reactive armor on the body of the T80 tank.

This kind of reactive armor is equipped with an explosive block, once a shell hits the tank body, the explosives in the reactive armor will explode, and the explosion shock wave is used to resist the shock wave formed by the explosion of the shell.

Adding all these defenses together, the frontal defense of the T80 tank is equivalent to 1,000 millimeters of homogeneous steel armor. In other words, if you want to penetrate the T80 tank's armor plate from the front, you'll have to use a superweapon that can pierce through a meter of steel plate!

The "combined army" commanded by Mustafa lacks large-caliber heavy artillery, and similarly, the "Oriental Haiyan" led by Hai Qingwu is not a regular army, and they do not have weapons capable of directly destroying the T80 main battle tank! In the face of the combined forces that had already surrounded them from all directions, Hai Qingwu also gave up the plan of sending people out to lay anti-tank mines again.

There are no terrorists, but those mercenaries from all over the world are out-and-out veterans, and among them, there is no shortage of the best snipers, and placing anti-tank mines under their noses is tantamount to sending their men to death.

But the moment the battle began, everyone's eyes widened.

During World War II, there was a "famous general" who came up with a trick to reduce the chance of the tank being destroyed by the artillery of the American [***] team, which was to dig a pit and drive the tank in, leaving only the turret outside. In this way, the tank has a much smaller bullet area, the turret can rotate, and it can also shell at 360 degrees...... Needless to say, the tanks, which lost their ability to move and turned into stationary batteries, were all blown up into scrap metal by American bombers, to put it mildly.

Because of the invention of the tactic of tank entering the pit, that "famous general" has also been forever included in the history of tank warfare, for future generations to admire and express heartfelt admiration...... What a fucking idiot!

And today, Mustanfa has made the same jaw-dropping mistake. God knows if he was particularly an admirer of Hitler and liked the German Blitzkrieg tank most commonly used during the Second World War. He actually ordered eleven T80 tanks to launch a fierce charge like galloping horses at the maximum speed directly against the positions defended by the Chinese [***] people.

That's right, eleven T80 tanks with full combat weight and up to 46 tons, the engine horsepower is exerted to the limit, with a rumbling sound, charging forward side by side, with the whole land trembling slightly because of this, this overwhelming momentum, this sense of oppression ten times stronger than the charge of thousands of armies, will make people who have never been on the battlefield involuntarily have a fear of death, and even stiffen their whole body.

But what Mustafa is facing today is a group of Chinese people who have the same ideals and the same beliefs, and have gathered together, a group of professional soldiers who have gone overseas, arm in arm, heart to heart, I don't know how many ups and downs they have experienced together, they have long been accustomed to death, and they have been through a hundred battles.

Looking at the T80 main battle tanks that roared and roared, and fired shells at high speed, Hai Qingwu laughed, Lei Hongfei laughed, and the little fox Zhou Yuqi laughed, and they made the same evaluation of Mustanfa, the commander he had never met: stupid and stupid little brother!

Everyone was honestly cowering in the foxhole, and the momentum of the tanks was amazing, but veterans like them understood that even if the tanks passed over their heads, protected by individual pits, they would not be crushed into pulp. Among them, there are quite a few people who have received training similar to this. Because of this, the expression on each of their faces is very calm.

At this time, there is no need to wait for the end, they already understand that these tanks can still be withdrawn from the battlefield, but there are only a few left.

With just eleven tanks, people who want to play the game of tank Armageddon, and even fight without infantry cooperation, can no longer be described as a layman, but a complete idiot. You must know that the armor of the front half of the T80 tank is immaculately strong, but its tail armor is pitifully thin, not to mention using a bazooka or an anti-tank grenade, even with a large-caliber machine gun, it can be shot through directly!

Fifteen minutes later, only two tanks fled from the battlefield in disarray, and the remaining nine were all blown up directly from the rear with anti-tank grenades. Mustafa once again used himself to prove what kind of fate will happen to the layman commanding the insider.

On the third day, when Musthanfa finally began to face up to his shortcomings and was willing to humbly ask the mercenary captains around him for advice, Hai Qingwu's defense line had been strengthened again at night.

Just overnight!

They used trenches to connect more than 400 foxholes, all of which were together, forming a three-person defense system of "point, line, and surface" with foxholes as points, trenches as lines, and main bases as faces. The [***] men hiding in this defensive system, especially the fire teams with mortars and heavy machine guns, can dismantle their weapons after a minute of firing, quickly withdraw along the trenches, leave the enemy behind the counter-shelling, and then re-set up their weapons in a new fortification.

On the fourth day, Mustanfa learned his lesson, gathered all the mortars, as well as howitzers, and put them under the command of a mercenary captain. There is an expert command, those damn [***] people, if they want to fire a few more shots and run away, it will definitely be too late.

But when the sun rose in the east for the fourth time, Musthanfa was dumbfounded again.

It's another night!

Hai Qingwu ordered to use thick logs to spread on top of the double foxhole, and then cover it with sack pieces and layers of soil, although it was too hasty and looked too rough from the outside, but after such repairs, those double foxholes have been turned into machine gun bunkers that can withstand the direct bombardment of small-caliber mortars!

In front of these machine gun bunkers, on the chest wall made of mud, there are some metal pieces pasted with a very unique feeling, if the sniper wants to lock the machine gunner inside the bunker through the sniper scope, he must first bear these metal pieces, reflecting the dazzling light formed by the sun.

Bombardment with mortars and grenades will certainly not break through the protective layers of those makeshift machine-gun pillboxes, mobilize the few medium-caliber guns in hand, or use the guns on tanks to bombard...... Those damned, cunning middle [***] people have long since dismantled their weapons and run to another machine-gun bunker!

Day 5, Day 6, Day 7......

Every day when the sun rises, there will be some changes in the defense line of the Chinese [***] people in front of Mustanfa, which will make him pay an unexpected price.

If it weren't for the fact that the difference in combat strength between the two sides was too great, and if it weren't for the fact that new mercenary units joined their camp every day, not only injecting fresh blood into them, but also indirectly boosting morale, Mustanfa really didn't dare to speculate that the two sides had been fighting like this for two months, and the final winner would not be him!

But in any case, the scales of the war, still a little bit, are moving closer to Mustanfa.

No matter how strong Haiqingwu's command ability is, how well-trained the Chinese people in Dongfang Haiyan are, and how good their civil engineering is, all this still can't change the reality that they are a lonely army.

At its peak, the number of members of Dongfang Haiyan has exceeded 750, and the members who can continue to participate in the war, including those who were slightly injured, are less than 100 people. The most important thing is that since two weeks ago, they can only send people to the battlefield every night to search for all kinds of survival materials from among the corpses of the enemy. They ran out of ammunition, medicine, food, and fresh water.

It was in order to collect these resources that they paid an additional sixteen lives at the cost of enemy snipers.

At this point, I believe that anyone with a little common sense understands that they have really reached the point where they are at the end of their rope and are about to be wiped out!

"Three days, we can hold on for three days at most!"

This is the judgment that Lei Hongfei made in his heart, carrying a kettle that he had just found from the battlefield, striding back to the command headquarters.
