Chapter 386: Scarlet Fire!
Half an hour of artillery covered the whole of Gadamaro into a sea of fire, and when the shelling stopped, it was like hell and countless groans rang out, and the cruelty of war made life a humble thing.
Many of the AU and mercenary soldiers were directly hit by artillery, and the bodies could not be found intact, while the wounded soldiers were crying and the medics were running back and forth on the battlefield.
"Damn the intelligence, can anyone tell me what the hell this TM is all about!" Jack was hiding in a bomb crater and cursing, he was a lieutenant of the mercenaries, but in fact this was only their superficial identity, their real identity was the special forces of country M, who were ordered to see the encirclement and suppression of the United Peace Front, and he was told that it was just a rudimentary Somali army, and there were no heavy weapons such as artillery.
"We're going to die this time...... "One of the mercenaries beside him said in a trembling voice, and the dozen or so fragmented corpses in front of them made him sick to his stomach, although they were mercenaries, how could they have experienced real war.
The mercenary's words made Jack's heart even more gloomy, he felt that they were in a big trouble, this peace front was not the Somali armed forces they understood at all, they might have been caught in a trap from the beginning, this thought flashed, he patted the mercenary on the shoulder and said: "Don't be afraid, go and get the radio, we have to ask the navy for help, let the fighter come." ”
Hearing this, the mercenary took a deep breath and rushed out of the crater, only to take two steps when a bullet suddenly pierced his head, splashing Jack's face with blood.
"!" Jack cursed and wiped the blood dripping into his eyes, and there was a chill behind him, and then he heard the dense gunshots, and his face turned pale in an instant, and his idea was confirmed, which was a conspiracy in itself.
Howitzers accurately destroyed AU vehicles, tanks and armored vehicles under the targeting of military satellites. And bombarded the dense troop station, seventy percent of the living forces could be said to be completely wiped out, and the remaining thirty percent was Kumasi's task, and according to Li Su's orders, they needed to catch alive, preferably mercenaries.
In the eyes of the Terminators, everything was transparent to Gadaro, unlike the native army, they didn't need night vision devices at all, and the thermal imaging system allowed them to cleanly see every soldier hiding behind cover, these people were just targets for them, after Kumasi shot a soldier who had just burst out of the crater. Allow troops to quickly enter Gadaro for street fighting, so that the Native soldiers wearing night vision devices and the Terminator squad in the lead will have an absolute advantage.
The shooting just now made Jack hide in the crater and didn't dare to show his head at all, he was scared once after so many years in the army, they used to deal with some poorly equipped, inexperienced Middle Eastern armed forces, now they have met a real opponent, the only hope is that Apache helicopters can come to support from the air, otherwise they will all be finished.
Gritting his teeth, Jack quickly crawled out of the crater. Rush to your tent, where there is a walkie-talkie that can talk directly to the command system on the aircraft carrier.
Successfully arrived in the tent, he immediately found the walkie-talkie and shouted desperately: "I'm Lieutenant Jack." We were ambushed in Gadaro and suffered heavy losses, request air support, request air support......"
"Whoosh!" A bang. Before Jack could finish his words, he was hit in the head by a bullet and fell in a pool of blood, still thinking about a sentence in English on the microphone.
The M Army, which was set up in the operational command division of the aircraft carrier, was in disarray, and they obviously did not expect this to happen. After a heated discussion, they sent six Apache helicopters from the military base to Gadaro to support them, knowing that it was dangerous to send Apache at night, but if the war was lost, they would lose even more.
Just after the M Army sent out helicopter gunships, Kumasi and his army had successfully stormed the town of Gadaro, and under the cover of darkness, they were as easy as a group of blind men with automatic rifles, killing hundreds of soldiers who resisted and taking more than 1,000 prisoners, including a large number of journalists and media personnel.
"We meet Miss Elizabeth again." When Kumasi inspected the captives, he saw Elizabeth crouching on the ground with her hands behind her head, "Let her go!" Kumasi said to an indigenous soldier.
"Thank you!" Elizabeth's face was pale, she was really frightened, the moment the artillery fire rang out, she was mentally prepared for death, the knowledge cannonball seemed to have eyes, and did not bombard the area where the media reporters were stationed, but the tragic scene still frightened her, how to say that she was just a girl in her early twenties.
Elizabeth's body was still trembling slightly, and Kumasi said: "Miss Elizabeth, you can take some pictures, but I'm sorry we can't let you go, this is the chief's order, since you Westerners want war, now that you have it, we will let the world see the fate of the invaders, but please rest assured, you and other reporters are safe, but you haven't been able to leave for the time being." ”
"Okay, thank you!" Elizabeth's head was blank, she just nodded numbly, and the indigenous soldiers were holding their guns to vent their anger at the soldiers who were not yet dead, these Westerners had destroyed their homeland, this kind of national hatred could not be suppressed, Kumasi also understood this and did not stop it, anyway, these soldiers could not be saved.
After cleaning the battlefield, Kumasi had the soldiers take all the hostages, and they would press them into a stronghold in the desert, so that no one could find them.
After loading all the captured bullets, guns, and supplies into trucks and taking them away, Kumasi was about to give the order to retreat, when he suddenly received a new order from the underground base and an instant satellite image, in which six Apache helicopters took off from a military base in Yemen and quickly approached Gadaro, and at this speed they could reach Gadaro in two hours, and Yemen and Somalia were only across the sea, and the distance was not far away.
After receiving the order, Kumasi asked the main force to retreat first, and he hid in the path of the Apache helicopter with six Terminators carrying shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft missiles.
Li Su's army came and went quickly, and the troops quickly dispersed and disappeared into the desert, the supplies of these troops came from underground bases and did not need to be obtained from Somalia, so outsiders could not know the traces of the Peace Front soldiers, and after successfully shooting down six Apache helicopters, Kumasi returned with the Terminator.
The next day, the unmanned reconnaissance plane of country M flew over Gadaro, and the tragic picture was played on the screen of the command room in the aircraft carrier of country M, and then the officers in the entire command room were collectively silent, and in the picture, the small Gadaro was covered with corpses, and the armored vehicles of the African Union army were still emitting black smoke to tell about the tragic battle that happened last night, and many of these corpses were wearing mercenary clothes, and the faces of some of them were still very familiar to them, and the 500 marine special forces were all finished.
"We're finished." A colonel covered his eyes, once Somalia lost eighteen M Army soldiers to force the M people to withdraw from Somalia, and now they have not only lost 500 soldiers, but also six Apaches, "Once the media is exposed, the White House will kill us." ”
The colonel's words made the originally silent command room more and more solemn, this is the biggest loss suffered by Army M after the Middle East war, and it is still in Somalia, a place where birds don't.
As the M Army colonel had pessimistic thoughts, Li's plan was to expose the matter to the media, and he released the captured journalists one after another, all of whom had in their hands a large amount of video material that could cause an earthquake, and as Li had expected, these reporters did the same.
"The people of country M lied, they sent special forces disguised as mercenaries to participate in the war against the Peace Front, this is another illegal invasion of Somalia by the real West!"
"The encirclement turned into a massacre, killing more than 5,000 people in Somalia, and in the face of the heavy losses, there was a wave of protests in Kenya and Ethiopia, claiming that the government was willing to act as a lackey of the people of M, that they should not be involved in the Somali operation at all, and that they demanded that the government withdraw all soldiers from Somalia."
"It is said that the Peace Front also has more than 1,000 hostages in its hands, of which the number of African Union soldiers and mercenaries is divided evenly, and about 200 of them admit that they are the special forces of country M and provide the number of the unit, the following is the video ...... of these soldiers"
"The Peace Front is furious that Gadaro has been bombed to the ground by the M, claiming that they will fight M's to the end, and their next step will be to attack Mogadi City, drive out the M-nation lackey transitional government, and establish a new Somalia."
“……”
Within a week, the news of the disastrous defeat of Gadaro quickly spread throughout the world and caused an international sensation, and there was another wave of protest in country M against the government of country M launching this unjust war, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of country M government denied the fact that it had sent troops to participate in the Somali campaign, but everyone understood that this was just an attempt to cover up.
These days, Li Su has been paying attention to the international reaction, and the attitudes of countries E and Z have obviously begun to change, with diplomatic rhetoric implying that country M should not interfere in the internal affairs of Somalia, and the name of the peace front has also changed from rebels to another political force, while other Western countries have been more or less involved in this incident, and their parties have also been criticized by the people.
