Chapter 184: Whose Sky Is the Future?
Shante's commandos were waiting for them in the north, west, and south, and they chose cover and opened fire on the fleeing militants.
This is a massacre. Although the militants also had guns in their hands, they were not covered in the open area, and the dense bullets immediately knocked down a piece of the crowd, and when they wanted to lie down and shoot at the commandos, the robot warriors behind them ran over again, and the frightened militants fled in all directions, some of them fled to the sea from the left and right, and the militants in the middle saw that there were no robot warriors behind them, so they gave up their plans to enter the city and retreated back to the barracks.
As a result of this round of massacres, at least 1,000 militants lost their lives.
Seeing that the enemy outside the fortress had been cleared, Shante immediately organized the converging robot warriors to turn around and attack the fortress, and he and the commandos dragged back 100 meters to form a fan-shaped encirclement and outflank the fortress.
The militants inside the fortress wanted to use the cover of the ruins to shoot at the rushing enemy, but they found in despair that the dense bullets could not stop the hundred or so soldiers rushing at the front, and these soldiers were so accurate in their fast running that no matter where they hid and fired, as soon as someone showed their heads, the bullets flew over and burst their heads. Looking at the commandos rushing behind them, these militants immediately gave up their resistance and withdrew their barracks and ran to the dock by the sea.
The commandos easily captured the barracks. Shante did not order the troops to pursue, but asked the 1st and 2nd squadrons to set up a sniper defense line on a fortress facing the sea, and ordered the rest of the commandos to clean up the battlefield and destroy the remnants of the enemy. From the time they landed to the time the battle ended, the whole process took no more than 10 minutes, they eliminated about 1,200 militants, more than 700 surrendered, and the remaining 1,500 or so militants fled to the harbor terminal.
"I'll leave the rest to the Mole Commandos. Shante said to Binny, who was following him. Benny was shot dozens of times, but none of them could penetrate his combat suit. Shante knew that in this kind of ordinary battlefield, a robot warrior like Benny could not be killed. It was a battle of great disparity, with less than 3 casualties among your own team members.
Fierce gunfire and explosions were heard in the direction of the city, and Shante ordered the commandos guarding the front of the barracks to withdraw and make way for a passage, while he and the commandos lay in ambush on both sides of the barracks.
Shante and the others set up a pocket array, waiting for the militants who ran out of the city to enter the pockets so that they could make meat dumplings.
At this time, the gunfire on the side of the harbor pier also rang out, and the mole commandos launched an attack from the sea.
Shante saw that many more militants were running back. "Hit!" Shante ordered to open fire, and the dense fire immediately brought down dozens of enemies running in front, and the rest saw that the situation was not good, and they retreated to the dock one after another.
The militants on the dock were attacked from both sides, and they had no way forward or retreat, so they had to resist stubbornly on the pier.
With the help of containers, lifting equipment and warehouses piled up on the docks, they skillfully maneuvered around the familiar terrain and fought street battles with the Mole Commandos.
This is a pain for the soldiers of the Mole Commando.
Since there was no effect of the surprise attack, and a large number of enemy personnel could not be killed or injured first, the street battle immediately fell into a stalemate.
Half an hour passed, and the battle on the dock was not over, Shante saw the mole commandos bombarding the container with the artillery of the heavily armored robot, but the effect was not good, the mountain of containers was blown up all over the ground, and the militants hid in the gap between the container shells and shot at the commandos.
"If you fight in this way, you will lose your advantage, and it is estimated that you will not be able to solve the battle until dawn. Shante shook his head, a relaxed smile on his face: "Who told them to move so slowly, if they had taken the dock earlier, they wouldn't have had to work so hard now." ”
At this time, the battle in the city became more and more fierce, and Shante even heard the sound of heavy artillery, and the shells fell on the buildings in the city and exploded, setting off flames and smoke in the sky. Citizens were awakened and ran out of their houses, and the streets were filled with scattered civilians.
"How could it be like this?" After eliminating several groups of militants who had fled to the barracks, Shante dialed Xuantong's phone.
"General, we've eliminated a few groups of militants who have escaped from the city, how is the battle going on their side?" asked Shante.
"Not so good. The enemy in the city dug a lot of underground passages, they hid artillery and tanks in the bungalows around the barracks, and many enemies ran out through the tunnels, and they attacked us with those tanks and artillery, and it is estimated that the battle will not be solved for a while. Xuan Tong's calm voice came from the headphones.
"Shall we go over and help?"
"No, you can just guard the seaside fortress and wait until the battle on the docks is over. ”
"Yes! Shante hung up the phone, turned to Binny, and said, "Go, find some good marksmanship, climb up to the roof, and if you find any enemy among the civilians making trouble, or taking advantage of the fire, shoot him." ”
Binny was ordered to go out.
At dawn, the gunfire subsided and hunger fell, and after nearly five hours of fighting, the main force of the armed forces of the Olham Liberation Front was annihilated, and the two commandos killed a total of 11,000 militants, the rest were all captured, and some of them mixed in with the civilians and prepared to fight the invaders in the streets, but on the whole, the assault forces had completed control of the city of Kismayo.
The casualty figures of the commandos also came out: Shante's brigade suffered the fewest casualties, only 3 people. The Fifth Brigade of the Mole lost 60 commandos, mostly in the neck. Twelve robot warriors were slightly wounded, all of them in the joint by heavy snipers. The assault team attacking the barracks in the city also lost more than 100 members, two heavily armored robots were destroyed by artillery, and several robot fighters were slightly injured. The casualties on the battlefield at the northern junction were much smaller, and the fortress was easily taken with only 22 commandos.
In addition to the capture of the fortress, important facilities of the city were quickly occupied: water plants, power plants, radio and television centers, hospitals, schools and the so-called city government buildings.
The streets were full of panicked citizens, some of the militants were not willing to be defeated, they mingled with the citizens, the planes opened fire on the occupying forces, the car bombs did not explode into earth-shattering explosions, and the whole city was in a state of chaos and turmoil.
"The security of the city must be addressed immediately. Xuan Tong ordered.
After the occupation of a city, the first step in solving the problem of law and order is to quickly eliminate the remnants of the enemy who mingle with the ordinary citizens and hide behind the houses of the occupying forces to shoot coldly.
But how difficult it is to do that.
Many cases of war show that it is easy to capture a city, but it is even more difficult to completely and completely destroy those hidden enemy troops, because the occupiers have just arrived and do not know the situation of the city, while the opponent has the advantage of geography and people, they are united in military and civilian, fighting a war for the whole people, it is impossible for the invaders to kill innocents indiscriminately, and open fire on the citizens without discernment, which will attract serious condemnation and armed intervention of the international community, and Xuantong obviously does not intend to do this.
He intends to leave the task of policing to the native Mole Afrika Korps. Xuan Tong believed that these Africans were better at solving the problems of their own people than his salamander commandos.
Therefore, Shante's brigade was in a state of repair after the battle, and after repairing for 1 day, he was about to go home, but suddenly received an order from Xuantong.
Xuan Tong demanded that they take over the administration of law and order in the eastern city of Kismayo and quickly eliminate the increasingly rampant militants.
"Haven't the Mole Commandos taken over the city?" asked Shanter, puzzled.
"Hey...... don't mention it, I thought that Africans would be easy to deal with Africans, but I didn't expect that Africans are also very complicated, the estrangement between them is bigger than with their own African compatriots, the contradictions between different tribes, different sects, and different races are even more acute than I imagined, and it is like adding fuel to the fire to let such foreign Africans manage Kismayo, and now the law and order in this city is even more chaotic, not only the militants, but also the citizens have united against us!"
Xuantong, who was overwhelmed, complained to Shante.
"That Coaster also suffered heavy losses, and he was attacked during a one-day patrol today, which caused nearly 100 casualties among his troops, and he didn't do it!" Xuan Tong said angrily.
"Okay, the eastern city will be handed over to our 1st brigade!" Shante agreed, and his attitude made Xuan Tong very satisfied.
"You have performed well in the blitzkrieg, and I hope you will have the same excellent performance in the next security battle, and I will give you a great credit when the time comes!" Xuan Tong promised.
When Shanter returned to the team headquarters, he called Benny over.
"Binny, you lead your robot squad, in groups of three, change into our costumes and helmets, disguise yourself as our salamander commando soldiers, and patrol the streets, I order you, as soon as you encounter someone with a weapon, if he fires at you or threatens him, kill him immediately, do you know what I mean?"
"Binny understands!" replied the robot warrior.
"The rest of the people do whatever they have to do, and if they have nothing to do, they go to sleep, and not one of them is allowed to go out into the streets!" ordered Shanter.
"Captain, we all stay in the barracks and sleep, can the security on the streets be solved by these robot warriors?" said one of the officers worried.
"Hehe, you can try it on it, what's the use of being a live target?" Shante glared at him.
The officer was silent.
Benny and his team set off after changing their outfits, and not long after, the commandos who were repairing in the barracks heard gunshots and explosions coming from the direction of the city, and they stood on the high ground in the barracks, looking curiously in the direction of the city.
Shante boarded a helicopter and watched from afar above the barracks to see how Binny was exterminating the hidden militants.
The eastern urban area is about more than 10 square kilometers, and as soon as Shante and their 30 or so detachments entered the urban area, they were drowned in the vast flow of people, but their occupation army uniforms attracted the attention of the militants, and when they saw that the detachment of only 3 people was on patrol duty=, they thought that the opportunity had come, so they hid in the shadows, and unexpectedly shot at the detachment, or attacked the detachment from the roof with a bazooka.
However, what these militants never expected was that this was a deadly trap, and the robot warriors' detection and reaction abilities were very outstanding.
Even if the militants had a chance to fire first, the sniper rifle, which was so lethal to ordinary soldiers, would just pop out a few small sparks when it hit the armor of the robot warrior.
In less than an hour, more than 200 militants jumped out to find their lives, and then the militants fished less and less, and by noon, no more gunshots could be heard in the eastern urban area.
"It's done! We can swagger out for a walk in the streets!" said Shanter, who got out of the helicopter, and said to the officers who accompanied him.
"Oh my God! these robot warriors are terrible!" exclaimed one officer.
"Isn't it, I'm afraid the sky here will be the world of these robots!" another officer chimed in.
Shante was silent.
Eventually, the city fell silent.
The Salamander Commandos all withdrew from Kismayo and returned to Egmont Island, where the Mole Commandos were mainly composed of African mercenaries, so Xuan Tong still left them to maintain the occupation there.
In view of Shante's outstanding performance in this battle, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and became the deputy commander of the salamander commando. And the commander Xuan Tong usually stays on Koko Island and does not often come to the Chagos Archipelago, so Shante has become the de facto supreme commander of this island. ()
