Chapter 478: Successful Rescue
In the heart of Mogadishu's urban centre, fierce fighting surpasses that of other parts of Mogadishu.
In order to deal with the US forces here as soon as possible, the militias of the rebels began to launch an onslaught almost at any cost.
This put tremendous pressure on the US military's defenses, and dense bullets kept strafing the US military's defensive buildings, and there were dense gunfire everywhere.
At night, the streets were surrounded by bullets with tracer lights, and a large number of corpses had fallen on the streets.
The rockets dragged by a long burst of flames and blasted the walls, and the wall debris was scattered everywhere, and the building where the US military let go was already full of holes, and if it weren't for the fact that the anti-government forces really lacked heavy weapons to attack the fortifications, the building would have collapsed under such a fighting intensity.
"Sir, didn't you say there was support?" An American soldier who was suppressed by militia fire and could not fight back was, anxiously asked the sergeant.
"At this time, we can only rely on ourselves, no matter how we say it, they are just mercenaries and do not deserve our full trust." The sergeant could see it, and said calmly while fighting back.
"Damn mercenaries." Another American soldier on the side couldn't help but curse.
On the street outside, under the cover of the enemy's dense firepower, many militiamen have already approached the edge of the building in concealment, and once they come into close contact with the enemy, the situation will be even more dangerous.
At this time, the U.S. soldiers understood that such an offensive of such intensity must also be due to the future attack of the Military Resources Company on Mogadishu, which led to such a reckless onslaught by these armed militias.
However, on the battlefield, complaining is the behavior of the weak, and the strong are trying to survive and annihilate the enemy.
In the midst of the intensive firefight, when the US soldiers desperately resisted and many people were wounded one after another, the support mentioned in the previous communication finally arrived.
In the turbulent night sky of Mogadishu, a dense whistling sound suddenly sounded, and the US soldiers present instantly heard that it was the sound of large-caliber howitzers.
The next moment, all the American soldiers instinctively hid in the corner of the building, and then heard a violent explosion from outside, and the shock wave rolled up, carrying a large number of stones to hit the buildings around the street, making a crackling sound.
The explosion was so powerful that almost everyone's heads buzzed, and the explosions continued to sound one after another.
The entire area where the American soldiers were located was covered with shells, and the streets and houses were all within the range of the attack.
The 155mm howitzer, with its highly effective anti-personnel ammunition, exploded in the city, and the damage caused by it was quite amazing.
Although it is not enough to destroy a building with a single shot, the lethality of personnel is still very good.
The rebel militias that were attacking were all stunned, and the militias that were attacking on the streets were almost completely wiped out by artillery fire.
The militia in the building was lucky, many shells hit the building directly, but only those affected by the explosion died.
On the side of the US military, it is natural that there will be no strangers to such fire support.
"Sir, there's a message from Future Military Resources, let's release flares, their ground support unit, is about to arrive here." The communications corps was fast on the side of the runway sergeant, reported.
"Turn on the green flares." The sergeant immediately shouted to the soldiers beside him.
A minute later, green flares burned on the four buildings defended by the U.S. military, which seemed to further irritate the militia on the opposite side, and when the artillery fire stopped, they couldn't wait to attack.
At this moment, in the four buildings, the US military is already gathering personnel, and while continuing to defend, it is ready to evacuate with the wounded.
Outside the core street of the battle, the sound of fighting was also heard from far and near, the street intersection blocked by a large number of debris, the tires that were still burning were suddenly rushed away, and from the wall of fire, the towering figure of the Apocalypse Tank, like the god of war who walked out of the sea of fire, appeared in the battlefield.
When the first Apocalypse tank appeared on the battlefield, a second appeared immediately after, and the rebel militia in the buildings around the street also quickly turned their guns and aimed at these tanks.
However, more tanks rushed in, and the dense fire suppressed the fire points on the surrounding buildings, and the roar of helicopter gunships was also heard in the sky, and many armed militia on the rooftops became excellent targets for helicopters.
The militias on the ground are also constantly looking for opportunities to counterattack with RPGs, especially the gunships in the sky.
However, for this kind of rocket, which is not even guided, and it is a helicopter gunship with good maneuverability and early warning, it will not be as easy to be attacked as a Black Hawk helicopter.
Helicopters and tanks cooperated, and it only took a moment for the situation to be brought under control.
More than a dozen multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles followed behind the tank also entered the battlefield, and these multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles rushed directly backwards towards the building defended by the US army, and savagely directly broke through the wall of the building and rushed into the building.
The multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicle entering the building quickly opened the infantry hatch, and the American soldiers inside saw this and hurriedly carried the wounded soldiers onto the multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicle.
A few minutes later, nearly 100 American soldiers, all of whom boarded the bus smoothly, but some of them had already turned into corpses.
As all the U.S. soldiers boarded the buses, the rescue forces also heard the sound of retreat, and tanks and helicopters blocking the streets and buildings began to escort the armored convoy to evacuate.
Tanks and helicopter gunships also appeared to be about to leave, and armed militias, which had previously been suppressed to the point of concealment, reappeared in an attempt to block the evacuation.
But their actions could only provoke more intense firepower, and the convoy quickly left the city center.
The evacuation retreats were engaged in fighting along the way, leaving the battlefield in the centre of Mogadishu, but the rest of the battlefield remained the battlefield as well.
The American soldiers who were riding in the armored car knew why the rescue would come so slowly, because the entire city had become a battlefield, and it was not easy to rush to the center of the city and save them.
Along the retreat route, the sound of bullets attacking armored vehicles could be heard, and explosions could be heard from time to time, and the intensity of the fierce fighting in Mogadishu was like a pot of boiling molten iron, and the scorching heat was boiling violently, as if it was about to melt everything.
It was a full half hour before the escorted armored forces sent these American troops to the US military base, where a large number of American troops were already waiting outside the base......
