Chapter 526: Counter Kill!
Just over a month after training, Habré couldn't wait to drop the soldiers on the central line of contact.
It is a desert belt about a few kilometers wide, and to the north is an even more inhospitable desert, and it is not until you go for tens of kilometers that you may see some oases dotted in the yellow sand, and these oases are connected by a green road through the desert, and then to the north of the Ozu zone, and after the Ozu zone, is Gaddafi's Libya.
Habré, as the nominal *** of the Chadian government, actually controls two-thirds of the land, and the remaining one-third is the area of Gukuni's activities.
However, fortunately, due to the uneven geographical distribution, the control area of Gukuni is not only sparsely populated, but also mostly a desert where birds do not poop, and there are not even many resources.
On the contrary, Habré's territory, although there are all kinds of problems, but the steppe, there is water, arable land, and oil, so as long as Habré digests and integrates the territory, Gukuni has no chance to turn over at all!
Gukuni knew, Gaddafi knew, and Habré knew, but the war between the two sides for many years not only caused a heavy refugee problem, but also made France very dissatisfied with this, after all, Chad's oil was originally French, but because of this repeated civil war, the United States found an excuse to get involved, and now, those Chadian oil fields are also set up by the United States' oil well equipment.
Not to mention the impact of a large number of refugees on other countries, Chad is an African crossroads, to put it bluntly, you can go anywhere, and the problem is that almost all of its surroundings are former French colonies, so the final problem caused by refugees running around will still affect France!
Therefore, France very much does not want the two sides to go to war again, and the only ones who want to fight are Gaddafi and the Soviet Union.
But because Gaddafi himself was elected as the rotating chairman of the League of African States, he was embarrassed to tear his skin and resume the offensive, so he could only let Gukuni's Vulcan Army continue to make small moves.
And just a few days after Habré transferred his men, the men of Gukuni once again crossed the Line of Control and launched a sneak attack.
Vulcan soldiers drove various vehicles through the virtual defense line from dozens of kilometers away, and then dropped their soldiers and opened fire on Habré's army camp.
At this moment, half of the Chadian soldiers stationed here had just graduated from the training camp, and when the guns rang out, the gang rushed out of the camp and occupied the commanding heights around it.
And the Vulcan Army disagreed, after all, everyone has been fighting for so long, and they also have a good idea of each other's strength, a distance of a few hundred meters, everyone even stands and fights for a day, and they may not be able to kill or injure a few people.
But this time, the Vulcan Army realized that it was outrageously wrong!
At a distance of three hundred meters, Habré's soldiers began to shoot freely, and these semi-automatic firing guys slowly fired a shot to take a look, and after a few shots were corrected, the Vulcan army was unlucky enough to be shot.
The commander of the Vulcan Army could only sigh that his side was too unlucky, and let his subordinates advance a little more, anyway, there were more of them than the other party.
Then, after advancing less than twenty meters, the commander realized that he seemed to be a little wrong, because the chaotic gunfire caused more than a dozen dead and wounded on his side, but it seemed that his side had not killed any enemy.
"You rice buckets, fire, fire!"
The commander was thundering behind the dunes, but unbeknownst to him, at the same time, a group of Chadian soldiers, led by the old non-commissioned officer, had started a detour from the right side of the camp, and these black uncles were even carrying an old British-made Vickers machine gun, which weighed dozens of kilograms and required a whole team of people to serve.
The Black Uncles disassembled the machine guns, some carrying machine guns, some carrying tripods, and others carrying chains and cooling water, dozens of people panted all the way, and then, around the flank of Gukuni's Vulcan army.
The sand dunes gave them good cover, not only so that the enemy could not see them, but they could only hear the crackling gunfire coming from the other end of the dune.
And in addition to the Vickers machine guns, these Chadian soldiers also had French-made ones in their hands
The Saterila light machine gun, which accidentally looks like a Czech machine gun, is just a French product, France made a total of nearly 200,000 of these things in World War II, and after the war, it is natural to dispose of these weapons, and Chad has a lot of them.
It took a kilometer or two of a detour in one breath before the group of Chadian soldiers stopped.
Then, a small man cautiously climbed the sand dunes to check what was ahead, and when he saw that there was no one, he immediately beckoned to his companions.
Until these soldiers appeared on the left side of the Vulcan Army nearly two hundred meters away, the Vulcan Army did not find them, because the fire from the camp and the commanding heights was quite accurate, so that they did not dare to continue to move forward, and everyone could only stay where they were and exchange pistols with their opponents to show friendship.
The Black Uncles had taken on the style of a posterity, they would rush to the top of the dunes with their AK rifles, then shoot the bullets indiscriminately, then slide down the rolling belt, change the ammo, and repeat it again.
As a result, no one noticed the presence of the enemy on their flanks, and the Chadian soldiers immediately began to assemble the machine guns in a hurry, and then, after the machine guns were assembled and connected to the cooling water, the shooters immediately began to shoot at the group of undetermined guys in front of them.
The British-made point 303 bullets and the French 7.5mm bullets greeted the Vulcan Army's Uncle Black to the fullest, and immediately knocked down a dozen people, and then the Vulcan Army found that they had people coming from the side, and then, these soldiers were like headless flies, some of them stayed in place and fired, some of them were trying to find cover, and some of them didn't notice the people coming from the side at all, and they were still seriously exchanging fire with the Chadian army in front.
The Vickers shooter had completed a chain of two hundred and fifty rounds, and he had killed about a dozen Vulcan soldiers, and the companions next to him had killed a dozen or so of them.
In other words, the Vulcan Army has lost nearly thirty soldiers, while their opponents still maintain single-digit losses.
It's just that this exchange of advantages did not last, because those Chadian soldiers who had not yet received training saw the enemy running away, and many of them immediately screamed and chased after them out of cover, and then successfully broke through the casualty figure to double digits!
