In chaotic Somalia, the most powerful warlord is Fahd Aideed, the leader of the United Somali Congress. And the largest warlord in Somalia has also become a thorn in the side of the U.S. military, and Aideed also exaggerated that the United Nations forces are here to invade Somalia, which makes the relationship between the local people and the peacekeepers not good. And the combined forces with a big shelf can't learn the PLA's set of military and civilian fish and water conditions, and even if they do, they are just doing it, and the locals will not be grateful to them.

The United States organized a peacekeeping operation in Somalia under the authorization of the United Nations, but in fact it hoped to control the Middle East and the Red Sea coast by influencing Somalia, and, just as importantly, to contain the development of China's power along the Indian Ocean coast and the expansion of China's influence in East Africa.

What they need is not a peaceful and stable Somali democratic Government, but a proxy who listens to them. If Aideed had been more deferential to the Americans, the Americans might have supported Aideed's full control of Somalia and ended the civil war, which was the quickest and most effective way to do so.

The Americans actually don't know that when they rejected Aideed and wanted to find a new agent, the Chinese had already made contact with Aideed one step in advance. Moreover, Qi Yiming was holding back his bad luck to cause trouble for the United States, and he also quietly supplied a batch of arms to Aideed, mainly with individual weapons such as AK-47, RPG and grenades.

Years of fighting in Somalia have turned into a national soldier, where even children of a few years old can be skilled in using weapons to kill, and can be killed if they can't use guns or kill, which also poses a big problem for the operations of the peacekeeping forces, especially when they are not well received by the locals.

In the Clinton resolution, additional troops were sent to Somalia and the United Nations mandate was used to "use all necessary means to provide a safe environment for humanitarian relief operations in Somalia" to carry out a broader and large-scale attack on warlords and militants in Somalia.

It's just that their opponents are not idle, and after receiving a batch of arms support from Qi Yiming, Aideed is even more bold and begins to frequently attack the United Nations peacekeeping forces. In April, a convoy of Pakistani peacekeepers carrying relief supplies was attacked by Aideed's men not far from Mogadishu, killing 24 Pakistani soldiers and looting United Nations supplies for local refugees.

As soon as this incident was exposed, it aroused strong shock and condemnation in the international community. Aideed was called a Somali thug, a murderous executioner, and the United States was even louder, claiming that Aideed must be made to pay. Subsequently, the United Nations also adopted a resolution to catch the mastermind behind the scenes by all means.

China's voice, on the other hand, has been much more low-key in a crowded environment, condemning the war and inhumane acts, while calling for reconciliation within Somalia and for the United Nations not to interfere too much in Somalia's internal problems.

Such remarks will naturally arouse the ridicule of some people, because Sudan, which is not far from Somalia, China also entered under the banner of the United Nations, and the intensity of interference is no longer understandable to normal people, but when it comes to the Somali issue, they want to call for dialogue and settlement.

On the one hand, it claims that it will never contain China, and on the other hand, various newspapers, media, and retired generals have offered suggestions and suggestions on how to contain China in public opinion, frequently mobilize military forces, and also formulate a strategy of integrated naval and air warfare to deal with China.

But sometimes, when it comes to a certain strength, this kind of cheeky action is also something that has to be done, and it is good to have a correct attitude and not pay attention to others.

Soon, the Americans found a good opportunity, and CIA intelligence officers obtained an important piece of information that Aideed, the culprit of the attack on the transport convoy of the United Nations peacekeeping force, would soon meet with some local tribal leaders at a hotel in Mogadishu. This is the perfect opportunity for the U.S. military to capture him and pay for the previous attack.

The deeper meaning is that once Aideed is killed or arrested, the Somali United Congress that he runs will be torn apart and turned into a bunch of petty warlords, which will be of great benefit to the U.S. military in fighting these forces while fostering its own proxies.

Under such psychological guidance, the U.S. military made a plan and sent the most elite special operations units, including the Army's 75th Infantry Regiment, a special forces unit, also known as the "Rangers"; Marine Corps SEALs Team 6; There is also the Army's ace special forces known as the D-boys, the Delta Force.

These special forces are commanded by General Garrison, the commander of the Delta Force, the forward command post is located on a helicopter for air command, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Tom Mattis, and the ground forces are commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Gary Harrell. The helicopter is equipped with a variety of communications devices to communicate with ground forces and base commanders, as well as radio relay capabilities that allow base commanders to communicate directly with frontline troops. In addition, three OH-58D Kiova reconnaissance helicopters will also transmit the progress back to the command in real time, so that the command staff can make more timely and accurate decisions.

According to the plan of the commanders of the US military base, the US special forces will take a helicopter to land near the hotel, and at the same time cooperate with the ground armored vehicle convoy, and after the airborne troops capture the target, the ground armored vehicle convoy will cover the withdrawal. However, the U.S. military's plan was very hasty, and it also underestimated the difficulty of the mission, these helicopters were "Little Bird" and "Black Hawk" helicopters, only a very small number of "killer eggs" (AH-6 attack helicopters), there were no fixed-wing attack aircraft to support the mission, and the ground forces did not have heavy firepower, not even a single tank was dispatched.

The U.S. military took out a few elite special operations units, thinking that the task was to be captured, but they didn't expect that they had stepped into a terrifying hell with one foot.

After the Delta fighters landed, they launched a surprise attack on the target building, throwing several smoke grenades into it, and then breaking through the gate to quickly control the Somalis inside. After confirming that these men were targets, Delta Force handcuffed them and prepared to transport them away.

Although these captives were captured, Aideed, who the American military wanted most, did not appear in the group. But even if Aideed wasn't there, the U.S. military had to get in the car, because the Somalis were already around.

"Come out, fight for your homeland and kill those invaders!" Two loudspeakers hung from Toyota pickups, and several Aideed militants shouted to call on civilians in Mogadishu to take up arms and help them stand up against the Americans.

These Somalis don't care who is righteous and who is evil, they only know that it is the Americans who have come to their land and shot and kill, and the Somalis do not understand the higher things, but they naturally take sides with their compatriots when choosing sides.

Or, there are some Somalis who have a more "simple" idea, and the US military big horn ran to Mogadishu, and the weapons and other equipment on each soldier are a lot of money, and if they can be taken down, it will be a big deal. In addition, those Humvees and even helicopters of the US military must be exchanged for money, and it is even more exciting to grab them. So they shot at the Americans, and there was no real difference between them and ordinary roadblocks and robbers.

As more and more Somalis approached, the convoy led by Lieutenant Colonel McNett finally arrived at the rendezvous site and could evacuate the delta with the plane. When an American soldier was seriously injured in a fall, the lieutenant colonel made the decision to return to base with three Humvees led by a sergeant named Stryker, while the rest of the armored vehicles escorted the prisoner out of the city.

The three Humvees are racing like three racing cars on the Mogadishu lane, and they face attacks from Somalis who are several times their size, and only the thin layer of armor on the Humvee can protect them from injury, and if you are unlucky enough to run into an enemy with an RPG, it is really the end of the game.

The 24-year-old Stryker is a true veteran, having fought in the invasions of Panama and the Gulf War.

"Guys, cheer up, we must bring our brothers back!"

All the U.S. soldiers responsible for returning the wounded to base were highly nervous, and they had never experienced such a fighting environment. There are only a handful of a hundred people on their side, and although they have the advantage of equipment, their enemies are in the thousands, and they are eager to tear them apart, and their every step will be difficult.

In order to stop the retreat of the American troops from Mogadishu, the Somalis began to set tires on fire and set up roadblocks with various things, which caused Stryker's team a lot of trouble. Three of their Humvees were rampaging through Mogadishu, and locals with AKs were constantly shooting at them.

"It doesn't work here, turn around!" Stryker saw the burning barricade in front of him, weighed it, and knew that the convoy would not be able to pass, and as long as he stopped there for a few tens of seconds, a horde of Somalis would rush out and pin them there with a rain of bullets.

Stryker, who has been involved in many humanitarian operations for UN peacekeepers, is familiar with the streets of Mogadishu, leading three Humvees to constantly bypass enemy circles and break through those weakly defended points, and Pierra, the Humvee's machine gunner, also shoots at Somalis who seem to have emerged from the ground.

In the alternate plane, Stryker led his companions out of hellish Mogadishu, and he became a well-known figure in the history of the U.S. military, named after him and another Stryker armored vehicles in the 21st century. It's just that Stryker doesn't know that the Strategic Bureau, whose mission is to block the US military, is also involved in this military operation, and their fate will be completely different.
