Chapter 624: Partition

The province of Ennedi, as the junction between the two countries, is naturally a place of heavy trooping, and the Libyan army has a whole tank regiment and two semi-mechanized and semi-motorized infantry battalions here.

The reason why it is called half-mechanical and half-motorized is because these two infantry battalions have half tracked infantry fighting vehicles and half wheeled armored transporters, although they seem to be half-hanging, but they are not a little better than the Chadian army next door.

Because the Chadian army has not yet fully popularized mules and horses, the elite troops still have trucks, ordinary infantry, donkey carts, horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and even the more miserable troops can only ride bicycles or walk.

However, the Chadian army has an absolute advantage in numbers, the Libyan army is only 1,000 people, and the Chadian army is 4,000 people, and there is even a detachment of PCs as support.

But the commander of the Libyan army apparently did not take this gap seriously, and after receiving orders from his superiors, the Libyan army broke through the alert of the Chadian border guards.

As it had done in the previous war, the Libyan army once again showed the results of its own training, with armor spearhead breakthroughs, infantry cover following, and targeted support from the air, and a combination of punches to the Chadian army.

In just one day, the Libyan army had penetrated 60 kilometers into Chad's territory, and it was only a dozen kilometers away from the Fada area, the capital of Ennedi.

"I'm unimpeded, unimpeded!"

The commander of the armored regiment looked at the crooked road sign in front of him and immediately made a proud report to the rear.

As the first wave to enter Chadian territory, their forces encountered almost no obstacles, and the only resistance they encountered was light arms fire and mortar fire as they crossed the border.

The unidentified red mark on the track of the T55 tank under the tank commander's seat was the unlucky guy blocking his advance, and the gun and man were crushed into cakes.

After a brief rest, the commander received an order from the rear, the Libyan army was determined to continue to expand the gains, and the army would continue to advance, ready to come with a beautiful left hook to encircle and annihilate the Chadian army in the north.

Fada, as an important transportation hub in Ennedi Province, is naturally the main target of the armored regiment.

After completing the convergence with the infantry in the rear, the Libyan army then began to charge the city.

It was not long before the arrival of a dozen kilometers, and at this moment Fada was already in chaos, the army and police in the city had set up barricades on the streets indiscriminately, and civilians out of the city had pulled out a long column on the rudimentary road.

About two companies of Chadian infantry built improvised fortifications on the high ground outside the city, and then continued to attack the advancing armoured troops with mortars, in addition to laying mines on the roads and successfully disabling two hapless T55 tanks.

Subsequently, the Chadian infantry in ambush fired more than a dozen rockets at the front tank, and the armor of the T55 tank was somewhat powerless in the face of the 85 mm super-caliber hollow charge armor-piercing shells fired by the Type 69 40 rocket launcher, especially the side armor.

After being repeatedly attacked by the metal jets of rockets, the tank began to catch fire and made a crackling sound of a crash.

However, fortunately, the armored corps has already run down in advance, so the losses are still within the acceptable range, and the tank units will have additional reserve vehicles, so it does not affect the combat effectiveness.

On the contrary, at this time, the Libyan infantry units had been outflanked from the flank, and the BP infantry fighting vehicles had stopped their infantry very close to the Chadian position, and then, covering the Libyan soldiers' charge.

The Chadians were outnumbered, facing the enemy in front of them, to the left and right, and had no choice but to abandon their positions and flee.

But the two-legged Chadians couldn't outrun the Libyans, and the armored vehicles stopped on the high ground like turkeys, and then machine-gunned the fleeing Chadian soldiers.

Of the two companies of Chadian infantry, less than half of them were able to run back in the end!

And the wounded who were lucky enough not to die did not go much better, the Libyan army did not prepare prisoner of war camps, or

They said that they were not ready to set up a prisoner of war camp, so the wounded were mercilessly re-shot and died in the wasteland outside the city.

Looking at the miserable situation outside the city, Captain Lee, the commander of the alpha detachment who commanded the defense, did not have a trace

The soldiers were used by him as bait to lure the enemy into the bait, which was indeed cruel, but it was necessary to do it in order to win.

"Get out of the way, don't get out of the way of those tanks! We're targeting those infantry!"

Standing high in the city, Captain Lee watched the tanks advance, and immediately added a few more orders.

There are not many high-rise buildings in the city of Fada, but the building complex is relatively dense, many of these houses have a history of more than 100 years, and have experienced continuous increases and decreases, so it can be said that they are intricate in all directions, and the only main road is extremely narrow, although it is no problem for tanks to pass, it is impossible to turn around, so once they enter the city, the armored forces of the Libyans can only continue to move forward.

In fact, if there was no infantry cover, Captain Li would definitely greet those tanks in the city, after all, the massive rocket launchers purchased by Chad were prepared for this moment, but the two infantry battalions were very close, and there were more Libyan troops on the way to the rear.

Therefore, it was impossible to hail the tank troops in the city, and Captain Lee left it to the Chadian army outside the city, which was armed with pickup trucks and anti-tank missiles, and could cope with it more easily than the infantry in the city.

Soon, the Libyans entered the city from three directions, the middle of which was the Libyan armored forces, they were cautious, but they were almost in the center of the city, and there was no enemy in sight, and even the road was very clear, without any obstruction, so the commander of the armored forces decided to continue the advance, without waiting for the infantry on both sides to reach the flank position to cover.

And the infantry commander, knowing that the armored forces had left them to move, also cursed, in his opinion, the enemy must have set a trap waiting for the tanks to crash into it.

But in fact, as soon as they entered the city, a large number of Chadian soldiers appeared from all directions, and with dense firepower, they blocked the two infantry battalions.

"What the hell, these guys don't go to tanks? Coming to us?"

"I guess I think we're soft persimmons!"

The two infantry battalions could only rush into the battle and urge the tank troops to come to support as soon as possible, but strangely, the tank troops they called did not respond at all.
