Chapter 244: No Matter the Price
"Ah......h
Benjamin cried out with a headache, he was about to be driven crazy by the Karzai rebels, and for the first time he had this feeling of powerlessness.
"What are you all doing standing, hurry up and come up with a solution for me." Benjamin yelled at the combat staff officers, there is no better way to come up, let this happen, I am afraid that the whole army will be crushed by this shameless style of play of the Karzai rebels.
Today's results can no longer be described as "heavy losses."
Under Karzai's scattered sneak attacks, the US military shot down an Apache helicopter gunship and seriously injured six helicopters of various types. A total of twenty-three military vehicles were scrapped, and three tanks were incapacitated due to their blown tracks. The loss of these equipment is secondary, the key is that the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, in this day alone, 65 people were killed and 133 were seriously injured.
My heart is dripping blood.
Benjamin was in pain, he was destined to become the worst American commander of the 21st century, and with this experience, it was difficult for him to leave a single mark in the history of the American army.
Shameless.
"The other side has completely put down the dignity of the military and used all means to kill and injure American soldiers, and did not care whether the American army would occupy the city." Benjamin analyzed the actions of the rebels in his heart, this is his headache, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, and now the Karzai rebels don't care about anything, they only think about killing and injuring American soldiers, this is what Benjamin is worried about.
Right now.
The Karzai rebels are like a bunch of outlaws, with nothing but a cheap life. Two sleeves breeze. It's a big deal to die, who is afraid of whom, and you have to pull a cushion before you die.
Although the U.S. military is strong, although it is horizontal, it is no longer horizontal. I'm afraid I'm going to die.
……
In the general headquarters of the US military set up in the capital of Afghanistan, there was silence at the moment, including the supreme commander, Admiral Kate, and others with heavy expressions.
Operation Lightning Storm encountered unprecedentedly strong resistance and did not cause a lightning storm in the north as they had envisioned.
The actual state of implementation has seriously deviated from the track he had set.
The situation is bad.
"That's how it happened, and in short, Operation Lightning Storm, which Benjamin executed, didn't go well. If nothing changes, Operation Lightning Storm may fail! Admiral Kate said heavily, Benjamin was in trouble. He was the first to get the news.
This is also the reason why Admiral Kate has a heavier heart, is Major General Benjamin stupid, of course not, he knows Benjamin very well, and the other party is definitely an excellent general. But such a good commander. Still helpless in the face of pervasive harassment by Karzai rebels.
It's not that Major General Benjamin is incompetent, it's that the rebels have become smarter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the importance of Afghanistan. Everyone knows very well. No matter what kind of trouble it encounters, the United States will not give up Afghanistan easily. The United States must take control of this land. Admiral Kate said solemnly, although there have been voices in the country calling for the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. But Kate understands that no matter what the outside world says or does, the US military will never leave Afghanistan easily.
Well.
The other officers nodded their heads, perhaps unclear about the attitude of the politicians at home, but knowing that every mission they carried out in Afghanistan was aimed at strengthening the control of American troops in Afghanistan, not preparing for the withdrawal. It is clear that the US military has no intention of withdrawing.
Admiral Kate conveyed his message that Operation Lightning Storm could not fail, and it would never be easy to declare failure.
Soon.
Admiral Kate decided to send the Air Force to join Operation Lightning Storm, and now, there is no longer so much to think about, and Benjamin must be given air support. As for the anti-aircraft missiles in the hands of the Karzai rebels, there is no way to control so much, and the war cannot be risky at all.
Originally.
The decision to postpone the Air Force was a mistake on the part of Admiral Kate, who did not expect that the American soldiers, who had lost air support, would be so uneasy.
What a mistake.
At this moment, Admiral Kate felt how stupid his decision was, the US military has always paid attention to air-ground coordinated operations and three-dimensional operations, and the sudden loss of air power interrupted their long-formed tactical style, how could they not encounter trouble.
Karzai could not stay.
After all, no matter how the United States and its allies try to smear Karzai, his political prestige will be difficult to eliminate in the short term, and not everyone will be influenced by media opinion, and there will certainly be some people who support Karzai.
At this time, Karzai is an unstable factor, and the United States does not want such a gap to exist, it is too threatening. The U.S. military must do whatever it takes to quickly eradicate Karzai.
The Air Force entered the war.
Suddenly, the Afghan air base became busy, maintaining fighters, refueling, loading weapons and ammunition...... Busy and layered.
After the Taliban shot down the US F-16 fighter plane with an anti-aircraft missile, the frequency of sorties by the US Air Force fighters decreased significantly, and in particular, the F16 fighters shrank into the base and did not move. On the other hand, it is also confirmed that the US military attaches great importance to the threat of anti-aircraft ammunition.
This time.
The three major air bases of the US military, at the same time, there were abnormal movements, which also made several countries that received intelligence extremely concerned, and now the US military has two enemies in Afghanistan, one is the old rival Omar, and the other is Karzai, the former close ally. Many countries that see the United States unhappy are gloating, and the US military has cultivated a formidable enemy with its own hands.
These are all small episodes, and the most important thing for countries is whether the US Air Force fighters are really afraid of the Taliban's anti-aircraft missiles.
It can be said that countries are remeasuring the power of the United States in the air force.
……
……
……
"Haha, Mr. Monkey, cheers." Karzai was in a very happy mood with a glass of wine, and the American military was no more than that.
In order to show his loyalty, Nilut launched thousands of people to hide along the road of the American army to carry out a sneak attack, which can be described as a brilliant result, to be honest, even Nilut himself did not expect such a situation.
Surprise.
A big surprise, seeing the US troops under his sneak attack, frightened and crazy, Nirut has an extraordinary sense of accomplishment.
It's not.
As soon as the battle ended, Nirut immediately ran to Karzai to report the good news, adding fuel to his bravery and the embarrassment of the American army.
Under Nirut's description, the U.S. military is simply a paper tiger, and under his strong blow, the U.S. military has been beaten to the point of crying dad and mother, and is about to roll back.
Ha ha.
Karzai laughed excitedly, he naturally wouldn't have fully believed Nirut's report, but he also believed that Nilut must have achieved some results, otherwise he wouldn't dare to boast so much.
In any case, Karzai was in a good mood, forgot about his unhappiness with Nirut for the time being, and with a wave of his hand, he added a large amount of weapons and ammunition to Nirut.
"Congratulations, Mr. President."
The monkey raised his glass softly and smiled, when Nirut reported the results, he stood next to him, listening with a smile, I have to say that this guy really has a set, and can seize every opportunity to plan for his own interests. No, he took advantage of Karzai's good mood and immediately raised the issue of insufficient weapons and ammunition.
At this time, Karzai, of course, responded to his requests, and Nirut got his wish and got a large number of weapons and ammunition, and left beautifully.
And the price he paid was simply to send some disobedient guys to their deaths.
It's a good deal.
"Huh."
At this moment, Karzai was indeed in a good mood, his smile had never disappeared, and the wine he was leisurely tasting was very different from the gloomy face of the previous two days.
"Mr. President, as long as it continues like this, the US military will definitely not be able to withstand it first, and victory will inevitably belong to Mr. President." The monkey laughed.
"Hehe, this needs more help from your organization, if it weren't for Mr. Blood, I'm afraid that I, Karzai, would have died at gunpoint of the US military." Karzai has always kept in mind and will never forget the fact that Karzai was under house arrest by the US military and bought his chef to poison him.
The monkey smiled silently, it seems that the poisoning of Karzai by the US military is indeed something that Karzai will never forget, and with this pimple, it is impossible for him to reunite with the US military.
"Okay..."
The monkey sneered that the boss's goal in supporting Karzai was to deal with the United States. The more Karzai hated the United States, the better it was for the shadows.
"Well, Mr. President...... It's a shame to say something at this time, but for your safety, I have to warn you. After a moment of silence, the monkey pretended to hesitate and said, "According to our reliable information, the U.S. military's military operation against Mr. President this time is called Operation 'Lightning Storm'. Its ultimate goal is you. ”
"Hmm."
Karzai nodded quietly, he also knew that betraying the United States would definitely provoke crazy retaliation from the US military, and it was not surprising that the US military would deal with him.
"Maybe General Nirut has caused a lot of losses to the US military, and the US Air Force may appear in future operations, and now, the three major air bases of the US Army are running like crazy." The monkey finally got to the point, and the main purpose of his visit was to inform Karzai to do a good job of air defense, so as not to be blown up by American bombers.
Then.
Karzai's smile stiffened, although it only lasted less than a second, but it was also captured by the monkey, and the monkey immediately smiled, it seems that Karzai still cares about the American bomber very much.
"Mr. Monkey, is the news reliable?"
"Absolutely. In the coming days, the U.S. military may be bombed wildly here, so Mr. President had better find a hidden hiding place. The monkey said solemnly, the US military was really stimulated, the three major air bases were operating at the same time, and they were learned by the intelligence officers of the dark star for the first time.
Air defense missiles are not invincible, and the US military seems to have made a lot of determination, even in the face of the threat of air defense missiles, it will get rid of Karzai at any cost.
'M afraid......
Later, Karzai's army did not fire a few shots and ran away. (To be continued......)
