Thanks to the powerful French Air Force, the Libyan army was no longer able to advance after advancing thirty kilometers, after all, the MiGs and anti-aircraft missiles equipped by the Libyans were not of the first-class level, and the Phantom used to counter the French was not enough to see.

In fact, from the beginning of the war to the present more than half a year, the Libyan army has lost hundreds of people, dozens of tanks and armored vehicles and other vehicles have been destroyed, almost all of which were done by the French Air Force, and in ground operations, almost all of the losses of the Libyan army are caused by mercenary units, and the output of the Chadian National Army in this half a year is almost zero, but the damage borne is quite high, the national army has lost thousands of people, but most of them are factional forces, not Habré's descendants.

Of course, this is not to say that the national army has no combat effectiveness at all, in fact, there are still people, from the beginning of the first dissolution, the officers under Habré have fought so many years of civil war, or a group of people have been trained.

These officers and non-commissioned officers may not know much about advanced weapons and advanced tactical concepts, but they should have the same tenacity, tenacity, bravery, flexibility and other characteristics, in the previous civil war, their performance was also very good, but the elite are held in Habré's hands, after all, the army is the cornerstone of power here in Africa, only someone, a captain dares to carry out a coup d'état, but if there is no one, even if you are the president, no one cares what his father says.

But now, Habré could no longer hold his elite, because the French were coming!

Although the movement of large forces was slow, the Foreign Legion quickly sent the headquarters of the rapid reaction force to Chad, and the French sent four battalions of troops, but the commander was quite high-ranked, a major general.

After the latter arrived in N'Djamena, he immediately established a front-line command of his family, and after several rounds of coordination, the French major general directly took over the command of all French American personnel, and even Habré's elite troops were transferred to his command.

The French are still in a hurry for the war in Chad, the cost of the modern army is huge, and once the war machine is in motion, money is poured into the water.

Although these expenses are nothing to France, the problem is that these expenses cannot be recovered, if in the past, France could rely on Chad's resources to make up for the cost of the war, but now these things are in the hands of the Americans, that is, the French have nothing in return, but Chad is a former colony of France, and it is also a link for France to maintain its influence in Africa, so he can't help but fight this battle, after all, in addition to Chad, there is also a former colonial independent country watching!

Therefore, the strategy of the French is very simple, since they are going to send ground troops, then speed up, use the shortest time to crush the Libyan front-line army, let Gaddafi understand this reality, and force the other side to return to the negotiating table.

Only in this way can they spend as little money as possible, after all, in these years, everyone is the suzerain's country sucking the blood of the colony, when will it be the turn of the colony to suck the blood of the suzerain?

After the establishment of the coordination headquarters, the French major general immediately began to transfer troops, he replaced all the fragile troops on the front line and turned them into Habré's elite troops, and at the same time mobilized almost all the mercenary units to infiltrate along the battle line, as for the work, it is still the same as before, but this time there is a little more task, which is to detect the movement of the Libyan army, and then report to the command, and then they coordinate the air force to start the attack.

Although the doctrine of the omnipotence of the air force has been shattered in later generations, the military operations in Chad, especially in the desert, are completely opposite, because the French are not very precise and infrequent air strikes, and the Libyans cannot move an inch.

Their tank units march only a few kilometers a day, because they have to camouflage themselves to avoid air strikes, and the Libyan tank crews are almost twenty-four hours a day, except for eating, drinking, and sleeping, the rest of the time is either digging tanks out of the sand or camouflaging.

This is also the reason why during the offensive, the Libyan tank units cowered, and still did not dare to make great strides when the enemy was infantry.

Because air strikes really hurt, the bombs dropped by those Mirage fighters could easily destroy an entire fleet of armored vehicles, again

Or the tank can be scrapped, and the Libyans' BP infantry vehicles can be restored to a parts state.

To be honest, the Libyan army is also tenacious enough, under the orders of Gaddafi, and under the harassment of the head, it is stubbornly advancing the battle line.

And with the mobilization of the coalition forces on the Chadian side, the offensive of the Libyan army came to a halt again, and even began to retreat in small steps, because the mercenaries harassed the logistics and harassed it too fiercely!

While the Libyans have learned their lesson, equipped their logistics units with more combat personnel, and modified many vehicles and equipped them with heavy firepower such as machine guns, the problem is that supplies that don't reach the front line are not delivered, whether they're stuck on the road or annihilated.

After the United States and the French increased their bargaining chips, the mercenaries obtained a lot more anti-tank weapons, although most of them are still anti-tank mines, but they can't stand up to the good effect, the road in the desert is just like that, find a place to dig a pit, and then bury a mine, as soon as the Libyan convoy passes, it will immediately ascend to the sky.

And because of the road problem, after the vehicle in the front of the convoy is destroyed, it is difficult for the car behind to get around, and if you are not careful, you will get stuck in the sand, and once this happens, it is difficult to keep moving forward, even if you want to run.

As a result, the Libyan army has abandoned many vehicles that lack spare parts, but for heavy equipment such as tanks, they still try to ensure the supply of fuel and other accessories as much as possible, preferring to leave the car without fuel and drive the tank back.

Moreover, even if the equipment is abandoned, the Libyan army will destroy the equipment, including but not limited to destroying the engine or simply detonating it with explosives, etc., so as to prevent the enemy from using the equipment and avoid the emergence of the phenomenon of financing the enemy, but this practice is limited to the general situation, and if the war does not go well, it will not be too late to destroy the vehicles.

However, in general, the Libyan army maintained its proper organization and did not show any routs when the French troops had not yet reached the front line, and they were able to ensure a certain degree of fierce response in the face of mercenary attacks, like hedgehogs.
