After the Libyan army retreated in the Fada area, it put on a stubborn posture on the border line, unlike the front, on the border line, the Libyans have complete fortifications and sufficient supplies, even SAM anti-aircraft missiles, and the Chadian army, which lacks the ability to attack the fortifications, is simply unable to advance the front.

The Chadian commander unbelievably launched two pickup charges, and then learned the pain of the Libyan attack in the first place.

At first, the Chadians thought that the Libyans would run away as before, so dozens of pickup trucks swaggered and charged, and then they knew that the Libyans were not as bad as before.

The Libyan army has deployed a lot of direct-aiming self-propelled guns on the defensive line, and these T12 100mm guns purchased from the Soviet Union are specially used to counter armor, but later with the continuous development of tank armor materials, these towed anti-tank guns have also withdrawn from the mainstream, but the opponents around the Libyan country do not have advanced tanks, so these guns are still quite good.

These anti-tank guns told the Chadians directly behind the line with 100-mm armor-piercing shells how vulnerable their so-called shield really was.

With just one shot, the pickup truck will be shredded by the violent penetrating force, and the Chadian soldiers sitting behind the pickup truck will be directly smashed into a mess of flesh with passive energy.

This time, it was the Chadian who was opened.

The pickup trucks were flared one by one by anti-tank guns on the way to the charge, and then the Libyans came again and covered them with artillery fire, and the Chadians fled back with the wreckage of dozens of pickup trucks and the corpses of hundreds of people.

But in general, this raid by the Libyans ended temporarily with the defeat of the Libyans.

The Libyans damaged nearly 100 tanks, hundreds of armored vehicles, and more than 2,000 casualties in developed areas, while the actual casualties of the Chadians were only one-third of Libya's, and the loss of technical weapons was almost zero, and the Shadow Company had no losses except for three minor injuries.

Tactically, the Libyans had failed, losing the stealth and preemptive advantage of the surprise attack, and if they wanted to attack again, they would have to face the Chadian army, which was on guard.

But strategically, it had no effect, the main forces of the Libyans had already been mobilized, and it was only a matter of time before a 100,000-strong mechanized army stormed into Chad, if nothing else.

But if nothing else, there will be an accident, and the African country will never be able to overcome a hurdle in this life, that is, the country on the other side of the Mediterranean, the French, who are determined to be the black uncle of Africa for a lifetime, claim to be the guardian of African order, the master of wealth, and the peacemaker, so all the wind and grass in the French sphere of influence in North Africa, Central Africa, and West Africa will cause their intervention.

This conflict is no exception.

To be precise, on the first day of the war, His Excellency General Idris made a distress call to the French Prime Minister's office, in which Idris talked about Franco-Chacha friendship and even negotiated terms with the uranium mines in the Aozou area.

The French may hesitate to do something else, but when it comes to uranium mines, they will certainly not hesitate, France's vigorous development of nuclear energy projects requires a large amount of uranium mines, for which the French almost control the ownership of uranium mines in most of the former colonies in Africa, so as soon as Idris mentions this, the French Prime Minister is not sleepy.

Although Idris was an officer, he had a keen sense of politics and knew what the French and Americans wanted in the land, so the Chadian army had been receiving aid from both sides since the outbreak of the war.

Although the number of items that came in was limited and the models were old, at least they were free of charge, and there were no extra strings attached.

In fact, this is also the Cold War period, some of the advantages of small countries, two-for-tat big countries in the small countries into their own camp, often do not bring a lot of additional conditions as in later generations, because the opponent often offers a more favorable price than their own, therefore, some small countries in a more important position in this period often live very well.

Of course, if you want to repel Libya, you can't do it with anti-tank missiles, wheeled armored vehicles, or broken rifles with US and French assistance alone.

No matter what future generations say about Gaddafi, at this moment he himself has built a modern and powerful army in Libya that can be called the first in Africa.

More than 100,000 regular combat troops on the ground, thousands of tanks, nearly 1,400 fighter planes, and a small but compact Libyan naval fleet can build all this, although Libya has the credit of rich oil resources, but it is also indispensable to Gaddafi's contribution.

Such an army, for Chad, neither now nor later, can be defeated alone, and even in the face of a fully mobilized Libyan army, defense is impossible!

A punch from a fully equipped main armored unit of the regular army is not easy to withstand for an opponent of the same level!

Therefore, if the Chadians want to win this war, they can only rely on foreign forces to intervene.

And the French are indeed intervening!

France had a garrison of about 3,000 troops in Chad, equipped with AX30 tanks and VAB armored vehicles, as well as Hornet helicopters and other equipment, but these forces were actually somewhat powerless against the Libyan army, in fact, the main force used by France to participate in the conflict was actually the air force and navy.

Of course, the Air Force and Navy are playing big and that doesn't mean that those ground rapid reaction forces have to bury their heads at home.

In fact, on the very second day of the ceasefire in Fada, a battalion of the French mechanized anti-infantry battalion arrived at the front line.

And when the commander of the French army, Major Duvalier, walked into the headquarters of the Chadian army, the commander of the Chadian side, Colonel Anagand, almost knelt down in front of Major Duvalier as if in a costume drama, and shouted "Lord Qingtian"!

"You're finally here, Major!"

Colonel Anagan pounced on him with tears in his eyes, and he didn't care about the appearance of the French eating, and the colonel did not forget to secretly scrape his own snot on the other party's epaulettes.

"We've been looking forward to our French allies for too long, and only you can keep us safe!"

Colonel Xiong hugged France for more than ten seconds before letting go of his hand, and then, he began to snot and tears, flickering, ah no, he began to vent his sorrow and anxiety to the French royal master.

"Now that the Libyans have hundreds of tanks there, we're up to you!"
