Chapter 473: Black Hawk Falls

After several days of intelligence reconnaissance, the United States III. The Horn Island Special Forces and Ranger units have finally begun to act.

The operation was led by III. The head of the Horn Island Force, Gallison, commanded the front-line command post on a helicopter, and there were also front-line ground commanders to command coordination.

On the day of the operation, the US military informant determined the details of the target, and after many verifications, the US military also officially began to operate.

In the afternoon of the same day, the US troops who took action successfully raided the hotel where the target was located, and quickly controlled the situation, and all 24 people, including the target, were successfully captured by the US military.

However, after capturing the important target Aideed, the supreme leader of the Somali rebel junta, Aideed's men immediately broadcast to the whole of Mogadishu through Mogadishu: "Come out and fight for your homeland!" ”

All of a sudden, thousands of Mogadishuns flocked from all directions.

The war in Somalia has already changed the entire society, and the continued vicious fighting has left the country's society basically on the brink of extremes.

In those days, humanitarianism in Somalia was difficult to implement. Every household has an AK. In Somalia you can live without a cell phone, without a TV, but you can't live without a gun. And shooting and killing people in the street happens from time to time, and even when you are sleeping, you can hear the gunshots outside.

Mogadishu is home to more than three million people, and almost every family in Mogadishu has at least one weapon, and there are more arms markets than wet markets in Mogadishu.

Arms traffickers from all over the world continue to bring weapons to the country, so that there is almost no shortage of weapons and ammunition in Mogadishu.

As in history, as the U.S. military was about to withdraw with its prisoners, groups of Somalis pounced on the U.S. military, firing at them with AK-47 rifles.

At major junctions, Somalis burned tires and erected roadblocks.

The Black Hawk helicopter carrying the support snipers was shot down by the rebel militia with rockets, which also opened the fuse for the bloody battle of Mogadishu by the US military.

Two Black Hawk helicopters crashed. fell in order to rescue the fall. Dropped helicopter pilots and crews, dozens of U.S. soldiers were trapped inside the city of Mogadishu.

The US command immediately decided to send a full company of the 10th Mountain Division into Mogadishu to rescue the trapped troops.

At this time, Fan Yize also got the relevant news that this US military operation under the authorization of the United Nations may eventually lead to a large-scale conflict.

Obviously, this is not what the United Nations wants to see, and for this reason the United Nations also requires that the US military not expand the war.

At the same time, various countries have also issued statements saying that the United Nations cannot be the umbrella of US military operations, and some people say that this is a dirty war deliberately launched by the United States.

Previously, the United States had intended to help the Somali government army deal with the rebel junta, but the Somali government did not agree.

And now, the Somali government has invited the assistance of the future military resources company, and the original military operation of the US military in Somalia is no longer meaningful.

The United Nations has also pointed out before that the operation against the extremist military junta in Somalia can be handed over to the Future Military Resources Company to complete, but the US military does not want to see it.

Now that the operation has gone wrong, the United States is sending troops into Mogadishu, which is very likely to trigger more bloodshed in Mogadishu.

For the inhabitants of Mogadishu, this is not an internal war, but aggression.

The actions of the US military are bound to cause a backlash from the entire city.

For this reason, the head of the United Nations, who supervised the operation, immediately approached the head of the US military operation, Gallison.

"General Gallison, you should understand that if American troops enter Somalia again, then the situation will really get out of hand."

Galrison said angrily to the UN staff: "But you have to know that now our dozens of soldiers are facing the siege of thousands of militiamen, and I need to rescue them." ”

"This is a good way to invite the Future Military Resources Company, which has already assembled more than 20,000 ground troops in southern Mogadishu."

"Damn bastard, wouldn't that tell the world that we can't save our own soldiers?" Gallison exploded when he heard this, and scolded directly.

"That being said, I would like you to ask your president whether he will face international criticism or accept the recommendations of the United Nations, which will at least save a little bit of America's reputation in the world." The head of the United Nations is also not afraid of the stage, said.

"Damn politicians, it's all a bunch of bastards." When Gallison heard this, he also calmed down a little, but he was still a little indignant, and he put aside the head of the United Nations and contacted the White House as soon as possible.

Although he was reluctant to accept such a situation, in view of the international reaction, he finally chose to downplay the matter.

Gallison was instructed and also recalled the Mountain Division units that were preparing to move, ordering: "Contact the head of the future military resource company, we need their help." ”

Soon, the U.S. military's request for help was also sent to the Tiger Division's station, which Fan Yize had already expected.

From the beginning, neither the U.S. military nor the United Nations were in Somalia what they imagined.

Indeed, the United Nations is overly optimistic about the situation in Somalia, especially after the surge in Somalia. The United Nations has put itself in the position of a savior.

But in reality, misled by the warlords, the peacekeepers are portrayed as devils. There have been frequent incidents of attacks by Somali residents against peacekeeping forces. In the end, the United Nations had to withdraw its peacekeeping force from Somalia.

The U.S. military underestimated the difficulty of the mission. Before the operation, the US military did not expect to engage the people of the entire city. So there was no need for strong air and ground support. There is no other striking force in the air except for Black Hawk helicopters carrying soldiers. And the ground forces are even worse, there are only armored transporters, and there are no tanks to open the way.

It is also based on the perception of the Somali people about the outside world that the US military's action will trigger a riot throughout the city as soon as it starts.

And this is one of the reasons why the Somali government is reluctant to cooperate with the Americans, because if the Somali government cooperates with the Americans, it will also lose the support of most of the people.

Americans are willing to pay, and in order to build the brand effect of the future military resource company, Fan Yize will naturally not refuse to save dozens of American soldiers.

What's more, after a few days of rest, the Tiger Division is also ready for a full-scale attack, and the rescue of the US army is also a matter of fact.
