Dar es Salaam, General Headquarters of the People's Liberation Army in Tanzania.

"Lao Tan, Lao Zheng, Cai Zhongxiao's life is not easy" Senior Colonel Song Jihong said to Tan Qiliang, deputy commander of the 86th Infantry Brigade, and Zheng Quan, chief of staff, "The Ugandans are simply crazy, and they have staked all the money of the Air Force. Kurtu now only has FN-16 portable anti-aircraft missiles, and it can't help F-16 fighters at all, so this battle is not easy to fight. ”

One Rwandan infantry brigade and one Ugandan brigade, two regular army brigades, were originally against Qatar. Kurtu caused great pressure, originally under the guidance of the PLA Pterodactyl UAV. Kurtu's forces were also able to have the advantage of heavy firepower for precision strikes, but with the addition of Ugandan's F-16 fighters, Ka. Kurtu is no match at all.

The power of air-ground coordinated operations is simply a disaster for an infantry unit that basically has no air defense capability, and Song Jihong, Tan Qiliang, and Zheng Quan are all very clear that if they can't deal with the Ugandans' air force, the outcome of this war is basically decided.

"Otherwise, we will seize the opportunity to take out these Ugandans' F-16s in one go!" Tan Qiliang's eyes flashed, and he said fiercely, "At most, two groups of J-10Cs can be dispatched to solve this air threat at one time." ”

"However, the General Staff Department strictly ordered us not to fight across the border without authorization, because after all, crossing the border will bring great political passivity to the country." Zheng Quan shook his head and said, "We secretly support the card. It's one thing to go to Kurtu, it's another thing to go shirtless, you must know that there are still US troops in Kenya eyeing us, although there is no direct evidence of the relationship between this war and the Yankees, but Uganda and Rwanda, two small countries, obviously do not have the courage to contend with us. ”

Although Zheng Quan didn't say it, Song Jihong and Tan Qiliang both knew what he meant, this was because they were worried that the Americans would take the opportunity to start a war, after all, the PLA now has only 86 mechanized infantry brigades and a flying regiment in Africa, and compared with the long-standing US military, the gap in strength is relatively large, and it is obviously not the best policy to start a war at this time. The People's Liberation Army's rash and direct participation in the war is tantamount to giving people a handle.

"But if we don't do anything, Ka. Kurtu really can't resist it," Song Jihong said with a frown, "I lost the card. Kurtu is a chess piece, and we are also in endless trouble in the western border of Tanzania. ”

"I have an idea," Zheng Quan thought for a moment, "Balaka is a mountain city, and if you can drag the Rwandans and Ugandans into street fighting, the Ugandan air force will naturally be useless." Moreover, we are now shooting out of the unknown, if something happens in Baraka, I think there will be a chance for us, the icing on the cake where to catch up with the charcoal in the snow......"

Song Jihong and Tan Qiliang were stunned, Lao Zheng's idea seems to have a different taste, what else can happen to let the Congolese fight with the Rwandans and Ugandans, don't ask, but Lao Zheng's idea seems to be too poisonous?

"Other people's children can't die," Tan Qiliang was the first to react and said with a smile, "Lao Zheng's idea is good, but this is not enough, this time I heard that Cai Zhongxiao's kid is ambushed and stunned to let people use FN-16 to shoot down two F-16s, I think in terms of air defense forces, we will strengthen them again, maybe there will be gains, if the Ugandans are not in a hurry, presumably they will not be killed." ”

Tan Qiliang, the deputy brigade commander, looks harmless to humans and animals on weekdays, but he didn't expect that today he would be the first to jump out and agree with Chief of Staff Zheng Quan's poisonous plan.

After listening to the words of these two deputies, Senior Colonel Song Jihong's eyes flickered, obviously weighing the pros and cons, and finally made up his mind after a while, "Immediately transfer three FM-90B anti-aircraft missile vehicles from the Mpanda Air Defense Battalion to Cai Zhongxiao, and we will teach the Ugandans and Rwandans a profound lesson in Baraka, and in addition, let the reconnaissance battalion send a company of sharp soldiers to wear the card. The military uniforms of the Kurtu troops gave Cai Zhongxiao the cooperation to fight this battle. ”

The reconnaissance battalion of the 86 Mechanized Infantry Brigade is almost all elite soldiers, and the individual combat capability is almost the same as that of the elite of the Marine Brigade, and it is really suitable for the environment of street warfare, which requires extremely high individual combat ability, but although the danger factor of this battlefield is also very high, it is also an excellent battlefield for tempering soldiers, and the Ugandan soldiers and Rwandan soldiers they are facing now are relatively weak compared to the PLA, and they are just right for training and training.

In a street battle in a mountain city like Baraka, Song Jihong was not worried that the group of veterans of the reconnaissance battalion would suffer at all.

Cai Zhongxiao didn't expect the headquarters to send these two kinds of support to himself, he couldn't help but lift his spirits, FM-90C air defense missile he is of course very familiar with, this kind of simple air defense missile system installed on a jeep integrated radar search and guidance, compared to the FN-16 portable air defense missile, the power is completely incomparable, after many improvements, its radar to the air target search distance of 30 kilometers, tracking and guidance distance of 20 kilometers, each missile vehicle is 4 packs, The effective launch altitude of the missile is between 15 meters and 6500 meters, the effective range is between 700 meters and 18 kilometers, and the maximum speed of the missile is Mach 3.

For medium and low-altitude air targets, the hit rate of this highly mobile air defense missile is as high as more than 90 percent, and it can be said that it is a major weapon of the PLA brigade-level air defense, and the 86 machine infantry brigade is equipped with an FM-90C air defense battalion, although this air defense missile system is very powerful, but the mobility is very good, the weight of the whole vehicle does not exceed 11 tons, and it can be lifted effortlessly with the Mi-26 helicopter.

Cai Zhongxiao is ready to give his opponent a street fight in Baraka. Kurtu had no problem at all, because the PLA not only added new equipment to him this time, but also sent more than a hundred elite soldiers to help him hold Balaka, which shows that the Chinese are still sparing no effort to help him, unlike Kalemie, Balaka is just a new place he occupies. There wasn't much direct interest in Kurtu yet, so he didn't care at all about beating the place into ruins.

As long as the Ugandans and Rwandans can be killed, Ka. Kurtu is not afraid of more people dying here, after so many years of civil war, lives are at the mercy of Ka. Kurtu is not worth anything in the eyes of these people. It is more beneficial for him to rule that the death of the local residents of Baraka is not his traditional territory, and if he wants to establish himself in these places as soon as possible, of course, stepping on the corpses of Ugandans and Rwandans is the fastest shortcut.

What's more important is that as long as the Ugandans and Rwandans are dragged into the quagmire of street fighting, the card . The F-16 of the Ugandans, whom Kurtu fears the most, will not be of much use, it is just an infantry competition. Kurtu clearly has the advantage of playing at home.

Therefore, after Cai Zhongxiao put forward the combat proposal, Ka. Kurtu agreed, and two of Fitz's infantry battalions were urgently transferred to defend together. Kurtu almost concentrated two brigades, which were not far from the Rwan-Ukrainian army in numbers.

The next day, when the ground troops of the Uzbek-Ukrainian coalition endured numerous cold shots along the way, lost almost hundreds of lives, and finally arrived in Baraka with the Ugandan F-16 fighters, the commander of their ground forces was quite surprised by the information sent back by the front scouts, because the front scouts reported that there were no defensive positions at all.

This unusual situation surprised the commanders of the Rwandan and Ugandan ground forces. Kurtu has retreated without a fight, and has withdrawn his men and horses from Baraka overnight?

In confusion, they sent an infantry battalion into the city of Baraka, at first everything was normal, the quiet streets were empty, apparently the local residents already knew that there was going to be a war here, and had long been hiding, but soon, this forward rescue was attacked from all directions in the city, in just a few minutes, this forward battalion suffered most of the casualties, and only escaped back with the rescue of two infantry battalions with urgent reinforcements.

This can be the Rwandans and Ugandans provoked, they began to use artillery fire to open the way, in the air can not find the target of the fighter, first hovering to find the combat target, they remain at an altitude of 5000 meters, watching from time to time from the house of the FN-16 missile, just fly to a height of more than 3000 meters and then powerless to fall, soon the Ugandan pilots figured out the performance of this missile, they have nothing to do to deliberately fly the plane lower, the altitude is suppressed at an altitude of more than 4000 meters to tease the card. The people of Kurtu launched the FN-16 missile.

Cai Zhongxiao, who commanded the air defense company, constantly gave the air defense company instructions to launch missiles through the S-Winet. This anti-aircraft company in Kurtu was puzzled by this complete waste of ammunition, but the card . Kurtu had already ordered them to act according to Cai Zhongxiao's instructions, so they had to release their precious missiles like fireworks.

At this moment, the FM-90C missile vehicle hiding on the side is quietly using radar to search for these air targets, F-16C \ / D has no response to the intermittent scanning of the new radar of the People's Liberation Army, and when the radar system of these missile vehicles is familiar with the movement of air targets, under the command of Cai Zhongxiao, the three missile vehicles almost simultaneously locked on an F-16 fighter that was arrogantly hovering in the air, and the three missiles immediately took off into the air. The 3 F-16 fighters that felt locked in felt that something was wrong and began to pull up desperately, but it was too late, and the 3 missiles opened the 3 F-16 volleys!

The remaining Ugandan F-16s pulled up the plane like frightened rabbits, and after climbing to a safe altitude, the angry pilots, regardless of whether there were civilians in the city, dropped the cluster bombs carried by the fighters into the city of Baraka, and carried out indiscriminate bombing, so that thousands of local residents of Baraka died tragically under the bombing of Ugandans.
