Chapter 9 Obstacles
When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the earth through the seemingly non-existent fog, all the American soldiers who had not slept all night couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the sun.
It's a good sun.
Nicaragua is a rainy country all year round, and umbrellas are almost a must-have when going out, so it is really rare to have such a sunny weather, but people in the same sun are in a completely different mood.
Almost all the American soldiers looked a little dazed, the sky began to dawn, if all this was a dream, then now, is it time to wake up?
Unfortunately, none of this was a dream, and the intermittent sound of gunfire and shouts of killing in the distance told them that it was not a dream.
Ronaldo: They actually fought very hard, last night, after completely clearing the US troops in the city, they divided their equipment and attacked this US military base with torches overnight.
They were indeed excited, and the surviving National Guard, the old Sovereignty Defense Army, and the new citizens of Nicaragua gathered almost instantaneously into a torrent of momentum, and the capture of them in one night gave them more than 400 guns.
And they have plenty of manpower, so they can use one for two people.
In comparison, on the side of the U.S. military, it is estimated that there are less than 200 people left in their support, and even Ronaldo estimates that there may be more than 100 people left, and the commander died in battle, and the morale is also very low.
But after all, the U.S. military is professional, after all, this is not the kind of chaotic battle in the city before, but a real positional war, even if these U.S. troops came with a vacation mood, but when they really fought, these marines are indeed worthy of the elite name of coming down from the battlefield of World War I in Europe.
I really can't move!
When this US military base was first built, although it was because of the light enemy, it was really not seriously repaired, like a resort villa is far more than like a military base, and the places that can be dealt with are as much as possible, but there are always walls, and there are always a few firepower points, and the US army also moved two cannons.
One is a cannon of about sixty or seventy millimeters, and the other is a howitzer of about 100 millimeters, which is not a good thing, they are all about to be eliminated on the battlefield of World War I, and they are almost not far from being decommissioned.
But no matter how old it is, it is a cannon after all, let alone a war cannon, even if it is a cannon of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for flesh and blood to withstand it, not to mention that they still have two heavy machine guns, which have been firing all the time.
In addition, they were indeed some recruits, not even recruits, which led to the fact that they organized a full eight charges from all directions that night, killing and wounding more than 100 people in total, but they were never able to break through the gate of the US military base.
As for the bullets they fired, they are definitely effective, but the specific number of US troops killed, that is really no idea, the marksmanship of these recruits, the difference between shooting with their eyes open and shooting with their eyes closed can be said to be better than nothing.
But the strange thing is that such serious casualties have almost no impact on the morale of this team composed of pure recruits, and everyone has not slept all night, but it is as if everyone has been beaten with chicken blood.
The U.S. military is really scared, and it feels like this enemy army can't be killed, you killed one, as long as the gun is still there, there is a backup to pick up the gun at any time and continue to do it with you!
Are these people evil spirits crawling up from hell? Aren't you afraid of death?
After a night of fighting, aren't you tired and sleepy?
Of course, Ronaldo was also dissatisfied with this way of attacking, and couldn't help but complain to Sandinistas: "This can't be done, you must find a way to close the distance and break through the gate, otherwise the casualties are too heavy, when can you attack it?" ”
Sandinista didn't have much to do, but he sighed and echoed: "No way, everyone is really not very good at guns, and the firepower of this US army is indeed too fierce, or ...... Let's take it slowly, there are many of us, we can alternately attack in turns, let some of the brothers rest first, the U.S. troops have not slept all night, and their physical strength will definitely not be able to hold up if they take a turn. ”
Ronaldo shook his head when he heard this: "No, three hours at most, the base must be broken within three hours, and the US troops inside must be completely annihilated, while the morale is still available, at the cost of casualties!" ”
After that, he sighed and said: "The beautiful country also has a garrison in Panama, and whether it is the number of troops or the equipment, it is far stronger than the Nicaraguan garrison. ”
"Although we can't speculate when these U.S. troops in Nepal began to ask for help, and we can't speculate when the Panamanian garrison was deployed, the stakes are high, and we must prepare for the worst."
"If these U.S. troops stationed in Nicaragua had already asked for help when the riot broke out last night, and the U.S. troops in Panama had started to deploy troops as soon as they received the request for help, and after a night's rapid march, it is expected that their Marines would have arrived in about three or four hours, and maybe even the Army's mobile brigade would have arrived after a little more delay."
Panama and Nicaragua don't share a land border, and there is actually a Costa Rica in between, but it is clear that no one thinks that the Monroe Doctrine at this time will respect the sovereignty of Costa Rica.
The country has hardly any presence at the international level, except for a 2-0 win over Rabbit in the World Cup that year.
Sandinista was clearly aware of the seriousness of the problem, and in fact they were now faced with two choices.
In fact, as long as they run back to their base areas now, their record will already be a hearty victory, and the enthusiasm of the whole country to resist the United States will be boosted by them.
fight, then this hearty victory can draw a perfect end, and the harvest will be unimaginable. But time was of the essence, and the battle had to be completely ended and the mountains could be run to the mountains before the Panamanian reinforcements of the American army arrived, otherwise there would be no other chance of them than to die all of them.
After thinking about it, Sandinista asked Ronaldo: "Chief of Staff, do you think it is important to take this base?" ”
"It's very important, whether it's strategic or tactical significance, it's not trivial, not to mention anything else, let's burn this place, it's a question of where these U.S. troops who come to support live, at least there will definitely be no engineers in the first batch of U.S. troops to help, right? This period of time is our once-in-a-lifetime fighter, not to mention, how important this move is to boost our morale, you should know this better than me. ”
"Besides, there are too many good things in the US military base, and I know my ability, I can pack them and take them away, so if we can take this base, our sovereign defense force will be able to be reborn, and the combination of the two, I expect that the time to drive out the US military can be at least one to two years earlier."
Sandinista nodded heavily when he heard this: "Good! I believe in your judgment, since you think that this US military base is so important, today you are desperate to the death, and you will definitely take it! ”
As he spoke, he saw that Sandinista actually took off his clothes, revealing the strong tendons and flesh of his upper body.
"What are you doing?"
"Form a death squad, I will charge personally, and I will not survive if I don't break the gate!"
"You...... Wait a minute. ”
Ronaldo took a deep breath and said: "You are the spiritual leader of Nicaragua, the death squad, I come." ”
