Chapter 548 - 548 Black Hawk Fall (Part II)

In the city of Mogadishu, there are more than a dozen Red Police snipers in ambush, all of whom are standard local black looks, and can also speak local native and Arabic languages, and in order to recruit these people, Qi Yiming also pays a higher price than ordinary snipers.

The fall of the Black Hawk originally occurred at the end of this year, but Qi Yiming revealed the news of Aideed to the Americans early, and sure enough, the Americans, who were eager to achieve some results, plunged headlong into this trap and staged this exciting drama again. Not only did Qi Yiming strengthen Aideed's armed forces to a certain extent, but he also sent lone wolf snipers to lurk in Mogadishu, although he was preparing to launch a fatal blow against the Americans and increase the damage of the American troops.

A sniper in a desert camouflage suit lies on the roof of the house, carrying a complete set of individual sniper auxiliary equipment, this set of fully digital sniper equipment, can save the sniper assistant personnel such as observers when necessary, so that the sniper team is single, better and more convenient to solve the task.

He held a 12 in his hand. The 7mm anti-materiel sniper rifle and the faint cold light of the scope are terrifying in the hot desert area, but this cold light is so imperceptible, and the sniper on the roof is like a cobra waiting for its prey in the situation of chaotic crowding of American soldiers and convoys in the streets, quiet and deadly.

Stryker was driving the Humvee in a desperate way, scrambling for the two cars behind him, and he didn't care if he would hit the Somalis on the road, knowing that if he stayed for a moment, he and his companions would only be left with corpses.

It's just that his attention is all on the road, or the enemies next to him, but he doesn't expect that there are people above him who are preparing to harvest his life.

Only a crisp gunshot was heard, and at a distance of no more than four hundred meters, a large-caliber bullet passed through the windshield of the Humvee and hit Stryker directly in the chest.

The Humvee that lost its driver turned into a headless fly, snakeed on the road for more than ten meters and then hit the obstacle in front of it fiercely, and then rolled violently, the Humvee behind did not expect such a thing, and it also panicked, and suddenly twisted the steering wheel to make the car fly out with inertia, and several Humvees completely lost speed on this Somali densely populated street and were surrounded.

The Red Alert sniper who fired the shot had no intention of seeing what happened to the remaining American soldiers, so he put away his equipment and began to attack the next target.

In the place where the main force of the US military is, it is even more difficult, the Somalis are like ants in layers of surrounding, surrounded by water, while the US military has no way to find a way for a while, so it can only fight the Somali militia for the time being. A U.S. Black Hawk helicopter hovered in the air, shielding and covering the U.S. troops on the ground, and the fireman on it sat directly on the ammunition box, holding 7. The 62mm Gatling gun was constantly strafing downward (i.e., the mini-cannon).

Although the suppressive ability of this Gatling machine gun is very strong, the Somalis are not completely without resistance, even if they are constantly swept down, and there are people who have no guns behind to pick up the dead AK-47, raise it and release the gun into the sky, which once made the US firefighters feel tricky.

But the real danger is not the automatic rifles, a Somali militia raised an RPG bazooka, and fired a shot at the Black Hawk helicopter. The trajectory of the rocket was very straight, and it directly hit the US helicopter, and the hit helicopter fell from the sky with a wtagger, but because of the characteristics of the helicopter, although the crew on board was injured, there was no danger of life.

But the Somalis on the periphery also want their lives, and Commander Garrison, who has observed this from the battlefield, will also order the Rangers closest to the crash site to quickly approach the crash site and save the crew. An AH-6 attack helicopter flew quickly towards the site of the accident and landed on a nearby street, where there were no large Somali militias, only a few mobs, mostly unarmed. The killer pilot jumped out and dispersed the mob with a self-defense pistol, while transporting the wounded to his own helicopter, but unfortunately the killer egg was too small to fit too many people.

Finally, another U.S. rescue utility helicopter arrived at the scene and lowered the rappel, ready to pick up the injured crew members. But at this time, the Red Police sniper, who had been waiting for a long time, struck again. The large-caliber sniper rifle hit the rotor root of the killer egg with one shot, seriously damaging its power system, so that the killer egg could not continue to fight in the air at all. The other sniper didn't use a sniper rifle at all, and even stopped using a sniper rifle at all, but dragged out a balloon-6 individual anti-aircraft missile, aimed at the Black Hawk in the sky, and knocked it down from the sky with a bang.

The power of individual anti-aircraft missiles is naturally not the same as ordinary RPGs, and the debris of the helicopter that exploded in the air not only killed and injured many Somalis, but also caused heavy casualties to several American soldiers waiting for rescue below.

This is not the end, not too far from here, a US military convoy assembly site, a US military 5-ton truck waiting to load and unload troops and then withdraw, but the Somalis fired RPG rockets one after another, destroying the truck and leaving only scum.

Another Black Hawk helicopter, which was covering the convoy as it prepared to withdraw to the base, was also destroyed, and during the flight, it was hit by an RPG, and after struggling for a while, it finally landed on the ground. A large number of Somali militias and sign-ups flocked to the city, and the only Black Hawk left in the sky could only use suppressive fire to stop the attack of the pilots by this group of Somalis.

The Somalis also had a clear goal, capturing a few more American soldiers for the later exchange of Aideed's captured senior officers, so they fearlessly attacked the few lone crew members who were still resisting. The Black Hawk in the sky dropped two Delta members to save their companions, but hundreds of Somali militiamen and mobs could not be saved by the two of them with a single heroism, and in the end both were killed, and the crew members were captured by the Somalis.

The Black Hawk helicopter in the sky saw that something was wrong and was ready to evacuate and continue to protect the convoy, but the Red Alert snipers, who had been holding back for too long, would not give him such a chance. Because of the ultra-low-altitude flight, the sniper can even see the appearance of the pilot clearly, at a distance of two or three hundred meters, the sniper fired the gun at the pilot again, after the bullet broke the bulletproof glass, although the kinetic energy was greatly reduced, but also seriously injured the pilot, the Black Hawk helicopter that lost control became the fourth Black Hawk to be destroyed.

At this point, the US military has completely fallen into a dilemma, with insufficient troops, limited firepower, and although communications and command are unimpeded, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the US military is simply unable to do anything in Mogadishu, which is surrounded by thousands of troops, with limited support and troops. Because the Red Alert snipers frequently attacked the black hands, the resistance of the US military became more and more ineffective, and most of the crew members of the several downed US military helicopters were captured, and a few were shot, but the US military also saved the need to continue to rescue them.

Because the Somalis have a large number of RPGs in their hands, and there are even such things as individual anti-aircraft missiles, the Americans are very hesitant to continue to dispatch helicopters such as the Black Hawk, after all, it is millions of dollars of military equipment, and no one can bear the responsibility for the big losses.

The U.S. military teams scattered throughout the city of Mogadishu are on the verge of running out of ammunition and food, and they urgently need helicopters to transport ammunition, supplies, and medical supplies for them, but General Garrison is worried that sending helicopters will only refresh the Somali militia's record and make the U.S. military more humiliated, so he is determined to increase the size of the ground forces, quickly break into the city, and rescue the trapped American soldiers.

General Garrison sent what little force he had, a full company of the 10th Mountain Division: 150 soldiers in nine trucks and 12 Humvees, led by Lieutenant Colonel Bill David, to the Special Forces base from outside the city. At 9:30 p.m., the U.S. Relief Force was formed by most of the Rangers, all Delta Riders and unwounded Air Force combatants, and troops of the 10th Mountain Division. At 11:30 a.m., the rescue convoy marched into the city, but because of the blockades and roadblocks of the Somali militia everywhere, it could only fight to open the way while seeking an opportunity to rescue the partners who were still struggling to resist.

Just when the US military convoy was about to enter the first rescue point to rescue several US soldiers trapped in the building, the biggest fireworks display of the night appeared, and the marching convoy did not notice that several red police snipers had placed an anti-armor mine on the road, and what was even more vicious was that they had placed about 800 kilograms of C4 explosives nearby, and the fuse was attached to the mine, and when the heavy armored vehicle drove over it, not only the anti-armor mine was triggered, It also triggered high explosives that were placed in buildings along the street and buried underground. Half of the street was directly bombed, and if it weren't for the poor vision at night, and even the appearance of a mushroom cloud, most of the American soldiers were killed and injured in the explosion, and the convoy completely lost the ability to maneuver.

After the explosion, all the actions of the US military fell into complete silence, and the screaming Somalis killed or captured the stubborn US troops in the city, and also captured the American soldiers who were no longer conscious by the bombing.

It's not just the Black Hawk that has fallen, the proud Bald Eagle has been plucked clean!
