Chapter 765: The Whole Army Is Annihilated

The local armed forces of the CNDP and the M23 Movement in South Kivu and North Kivu provinces each assembled a brigade and temporarily united under the forcible pinch of the big bosses behind them. The northerly defence line of Kurtu was crushed by the commander of the armed forces of the South Kivu province of the 'Congrès national pour la défense du peuple du peuple (CNDP'). In the eyes of Colonel Tulumba, he was asked to unite with the 'M23 movement' of Cassel. Colonel Shabi, an old adversary, was a complete torture together.

Colonel Tulumba would rather lead his troops alone than fight with Cassel. Shabi, an old rival who had been fighting for several years, met with the armed forces of the CNDP going south, under the leadership of Colonel Tulumba. The armed forces of the 'M23 Movement' under the leadership of Shabi formed two groups spaced more than a dozen kilometers apart. Although that means going south to attack the card. The Kurtu forces were scattered, but in the eyes of these warlords, it was not a big deal.

Colonel Tulumba even thought that his troops were enough to settle the battle and that Kaso was not needed at all. Shabi's people came to mix, and now Kalemi is a piece of fat, which is said to be in Ka. Under Kurtu's management, in just a few months, Calemie was already the richest city in the east, and it was not a dream to occupy it and make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Thinking of the large dollar bills, Colonel Tulumba felt even more Casso. Shabby is an eyesore.

"Everyone hurry up, take Lukengo in one go, take Kalemie, and give each $100!" Colonel Tulumba sat in a pickup truck and shuttled through the ranks of his troops, cheering up without stopping. Colonel Tulumba knew that there was nothing more demoralizing than the dollar for the rabble under his command. Anyway, after beating Kalemi, he will earn at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it is nothing to give tens of thousands of dollars as a reward.

Now the most important thing is to grab in Cassel. Shabi occupied Rukengo in front and once took control of this military point, Caso. It would be difficult for Shabi's troops to get through, and unless they left behind heavy weapons, Colonel Tulumba had a way to stop them from advancing.

Colonel Tulumba, who rushed to Rukengo, never thought of Ka. Kurtu prepared him such a rich "feast" at Rukengo.

Due to the march along the narrow No. 5 kilometer, the troops could not be concentrated, Colonel Tulumba divided his six infantry battalions of nearly 3,000 people into three parts, the first two infantry battalions as the forward, while he himself led three elite infantry battalions, using pickup trucks to drag a few old-fashioned American-made M1 75mm howitzers as the main force, and the first infantry battalion behind the palace put Cassel. Shabi, despite the agreement between the upper leaders of the two sides, Tulumba has a strong relationship with Kaso. Shabi still has a strong sense of distrust, so Tulumba has to be on guard when he walks in front with his men.

In this way, the team of more than 3,000 people dragged a long line of more than 1,000 meters on the narrow No. 5 road, and 2 or 3 kilometers behind this long line is Kasuo. Another long dragon led by Shabi, but Cassel. Shabi himself followed Tulumba with 2 elite infantry battalions.

Arrive at the Rukengo front line ready to personally command the card. Colonel Kurtu had already laid an ambush in the mountains on both sides of Highway 5, and when Tulumba's troops approached Rukengo for 10 kilometers, the observation outposts sent back accurate information, which made the card that there were still some luck in the past. Kurtu completely dispelled his illusions and began to devote himself to the most important battle since his debut, and the reconnaissance posts in front of him intensively transmitted information about the enemy, according to the estimation of the reconnaissance posts, at least more than 5,000 enemy attackers.

That is to say now card. Kurtu on the Rukengo front needs to be a big battle with one enemy and five enemies, and the disparity in strength is so great. Kurtu had never fought, and if it weren't for the 3 heavy firepower batteries provided by Colonel Lazaro's line of fire, Ka. Kurtu had abandoned Rukengo in his heart and concentrated his forces on a decisive battle with the invading enemy at Kalemie. More than 3,000 against more than 5,000 in the Kalemi street battle, stuck in weapons and geography. Kurtu's troops have the upper hand and may be able to win.

It's just that in this way, even a big victory over the opponent is a miserable victory, because after such a big battle, the now thriving Kalemi will definitely be destroyed, and only a pile of ruins remains.

It is precisely because of the reluctance to break the territory of Kalemie, Ka. Kurtu was persuaded by his military advisers to defend Rukengo. "Lieutenant Colonel Cai, is your special firepower strike squadron reliable?" Card. Kurtu looked at the military map in front of him, turned to a swarthy officer and asked, but in Swahili, the officer looked at Jaka next to him with some blankness. Laijit, Jacqua. Coming to Git will be a card in English. After Kurtu's words were translated again, the name now acts as a card. The PLA lieutenant colonel of Kurtu's military adviser smiled slightly, "Colonel Kurtu, please rest assured, our defense line is as solid as a rock, and in this special terrain, these enemies who don't even have heavy artillery are just a bunch of cannon fodder." ”

This lieutenant colonel surnamed Cai, whose big name is Cai Zhongxiao, is an operational staff officer of the 86th Mechanized Infantry Brigade. Kurtu took refuge and was assigned as a military adviser sent by China and Tanzania, although Cai Liangyou, the warlord armed on the Democratic side of the Congo, was quite disdainful, but as a professional, Cai Zhongxiao was still interested in Ka. Gather as much information as possible about the warlord opponents facing around Kurtu, although he can't say everything, but he still has a good idea of what kind of equipment level it is.

This time, the other side provided three heavy firepower batteries at once, and with a small mountain town like Rukengo, it could be said to be a disaster for the attacking side that lacked air fire support and heavy firepower. If Cai Zhongxiao is allowed to command this battle, he is more than ninety percent sure that he will defeat the other party.

What's more, the 86th Mechanized Infantry Brigade has now also sent two Pterodactyl drones to reconnoiter over Rukengo, which can provide accurate intelligence information for the 82mm mortar special fire strike squadron directly commanded by Cai Zhongxiao at any time. Kurtu got it.

Looking at Cai Zhongxiao, a military adviser, he was full of confidence. Kurtu's tense heart was a little relieved, after all, everyone was in the same boat now, and if he was defeated, it would be difficult for this military adviser to escape in the midst of chaos, so there was no need for him to lie and deceive himself.

"That's it, Lieutenant Colonel Cai, I'll hand over all the mortar units to you to command, Laijite, please bother to support it, and I'll call the adjutant to cooperate with you later." Card. After careful consideration for a while, Kurtu finally made up his mind about Jacques. Laijit, the interpreter and liaison officer, said, "I will be close to the front line for a while, and I can't care about the artillery position, and I can't find anyone to command the artillery under my command, so I can only make Lieutenant Colonel Cai suffer." ”

For cards. Kurtu said that the artillery arm is definitely the most technical branch of his current army, and he used to be able to have a few 60mm mortars, that is, from below a random burst of bombardment to make a strong momentum, as long as he didn't blow up his own people, and he has always been like this. But the last time in a coordinated operation with the 164 Marine Brigade of the People's Liberation Army, Ka. Kurtu later learned about the power of heavy firepower when he heard about what happened to Colonel Saka's mobile pickup unit of the Kalemi local garrison.

Therefore, the card. Kurtu simply handed over his heavy fire position to this lieutenant colonel officer from the PLA, anyway, he had his own eyes on the front line, plus 3 reinforced machine gun platoons. Kurtu believes that even if he is not good, he will be able to withstand the first round of his opponent's shock. Although the hastily built machine-gun fortifications were somewhat rudimentary, it was not a big problem to resist fire strikes such as bazookas, and the intertwined fire of dozens of machine guns through the machine-gun fortifications was a completely death zone for infantry charges.

But stay on the front line of the command card. Kurtu had no idea that things would turn out completely differently than he had in mind.

When Tulumba's troops rushed in in a menacing manner, in close proximity to Ka. About 1,000 meters from the forward position of Kurtu, Cai Zhongxiao commanded the 82mm mortar detachment to accurately land the shells on the 75mm howitzers that Tulumba regarded as treasures in the first round according to the information transmitted by the Pterodactyl drone to the information terminal he carried, and blasted the pickup truck and the howitzers into a pile of scrap metal.

Immediately after the card. The mortars on Kurtu's 60-mm mortar position were fired at the same time after a Chinese soldier corrected his position, and more than a dozen high-explosive mortar shells fell on the head of the Tulumba forward battalion, almost instantly scrapping most of an infantry battalion in Tulumba. Kurtu's troops turned out to have such heavy artillery fire, and they did not expect Ka. Kurtu's heavy artillery fire fell on the dense marching formation of his troops as if they had eyes.

You must know that the mountains here are vertical and horizontal, although the distance between the two sides is more than 1000 meters, but you can't see each other from the line of sight. How did Kurtu manage such a delicate firepower strike?

For a while, Tulumba was a little blind, but his adjutant reacted quickly, and when he saw that the howitzers of his troops were destroyed by artillery fire falling from the sky, he immediately realized that things were in trouble today, and quickly pulled Tulumba to jump off the pickup command car and run towards the mountains and forests next to the road.

Sure enough, as soon as they ran out of the road, they heard another sharp howl in the air, and then Tulumba watched in amazement as his unit's pickup truck fleet was hit by shells, and the soldiers who had not been able to flee were turned into stumps scattered in the sky by these shells!

"Retreat! Retreat into the woods! Unable to flee for his life, Tulumba stood up and shouted hoarsely at his soldiers in a daze after the shells landed.

However, it was too late to retreat at this time, and Cai Zhongxiao commanded the card. Kurtu's mortars began to gradually extend the attack, one after another shells accurately fell in Tulumba's dense infantry group under the guidance of the real-time information of the Pterodactyl drone, each one almost carried a few or even a dozen soldiers or something, after more than ten minutes of continuous shelling, Tulumba's team of nearly 3,000 people completely collapsed, and in the artillery bombardment, these rabble began to scream and scream and leave the Jedi of Highway 5 and desperately flee towards the mountains and forests on both sides.

Cards that were ready to fight a big battle. Kurtu, in the telescope, only saw a hundred and ten Tulumba soldiers in front of him rushing to his position in a panic, and these soldiers who ran around were quickly eliminated by the machine-gun fire on the position.

After that, the card. Kurtu no longer saw any formed soldiers coming over, but he heard the mortar shells on his side constantly whistling into the distance, and the soldiers who were waiting for him were all idle. Kurtu was stunned and incredulous.

But soon after, the exact news of the collapse of Tulumba's forces came from the lurking outpost ahead. Kurtu's troops were all pleasantly surprised.

In the face of such a great opportunity, the card. Kurtu decisively led an infantry battalion forward, ready to wipe out Tulumba's group of routs, while Cai Zhongxiao on the mortar position side closely watched the entire battlefield information through the personal information terminal after directing the artillery fire to defeat the opponent.

In the card. After Kurtu's sortie, the 60-mm mortars were stopped, and the more accurate 82-mm mortars continued to provide extended artillery support. Kurtu was able to easily sweep across the battlefield and annihilate most of Tulumba's troops, while Kassel was followed behind Tulumba. Seeing that the situation was not good, Shabi was so frightened that he quickly turned around and fled after Tulumba's troops collapsed.

A great war with a huge disparity in strength ended in the near annihilation of Tumumba's army, and it was unthinkable.
