Chapter 431: A Victory That Attracts the World
"Pakistani Special Response Force Attack Kandahar? Isn't there a reaction from AFghan's side? ”
In the Corner Tower office, Bob asked, confused.
The assistant shook his head lightly and replied:
"It cannot be said that there is no response, but it should be said that they fully support Pakistan's actions and even provide them with equipment and supplies as much as possible."
"After all, we all know who the backers of Pakistan are, AFghan has been seeking to integrate into the Commonwealth of Arab order before, and now that there is such an opportunity to show loyalty, how can they let it go."
Hearing the assistant's words, Bob nodded helplessly.
In fact, he is actually very aware of this in his heart, but faintly, he is still expecting AFghan to be able to harden up and bravely refuse the demands of Pakistan and Huaxia in order to protect his "territorial rights".
After all, that's sending troops directly into their own territory, a normal country would allow such a thing to happen? ——
Oh, we used to do it too.
A bitter smile appeared on Bob's face, and he continued:
"How long will this operational action plan last? What are the tactics like? ”
"I don't know."
The assistant shook his head and replied:
"We only know that this operation is codenamed 'fall wind', Autumn Wind, and the purpose is to sweep away the TLB forces in the southern mountains of AFghan to the greatest extent."
"We also know that this operation will use a large number of advanced equipment obtained from China, including a large number of mechanical exoskeletons, a large number of portable howitzers and mortars, a large number of rocket launchers and other electronic equipment."
"But beyond that, we don't know anything about goals, signposts and plans."
"After all, the intelligence system we have there is almost completely ineffective, and we want to get the core information. It's really hard. ”
"Understood."
Bob didn't follow up, but instead asked about the condition of the new equipment.
"You said that in this operation, Huaxia will use mechanical exoskeletons on a large scale, is this news accurate?"
"Absolutely accurate-—— in fact, those Pakistani soldiers at the border base have already begun adaptation training"
"How's the flexibility? Don't tell me you don't even get this near-public information. ”
"Of course not."
The assistant hurriedly replied.
He then turned on the screen behind him and projected a video from his own computer screen onto the screen.
In the video, the Pakistani soldiers wearing mechanical exoskeletons are organizing obstacle crossing training, and their movements are extremely agile, and it can be seen that the response of the mechanical exoskeleton is extremely fast.
In particular, as they marched to the arranged, the sight of a soldier lifting a car with one hand really surprised Bob.
Such power. It is no longer possible with ordinary labor-saving structures, but must rely on extremely advanced hydraulic systems.
Electrically driven hydraulic system.
Can the energy of the exoskeleton be affordable?
Bob was skeptical, but soon, the assistant next to him gave an answer.
"This exoskeleton uses the latest energy storage battery, and the specific technology is not yet known, but according to front-line intelligence, the exoskeleton can be used continuously for more than 30 hours in a low-intensity environment."
"This data. It's an exaggeration. ”
"In addition, the exoskeleton itself is equipped with a solar-charging system, which is said to extend the use time by 30% in a sunny environment."
"In other words, after wearing the exoskeleton, these soldiers can have an effective movement time of more than 40 hours."
"Within these 40 hours, the physical exertion of soldiers can be maintained at a very low level, and the combat capability of the infantry will be greatly improved."
"Of course, more importantly, the individual payload has been greatly increased, and they can even really do one person and one cannon."
Hearing this, Bob frowned solemnly.
It seems that this old opponent of his own side has not been cured of their fear of insufficient firepower.
"Does it make a big sense?"
Bob asked, holding on to the last bit of luck.
"It's huge."
"Especially in sporadic field battles, the role of this set of equipment is too great."
"It can ensure that every individual soldier can have sufficient firepower and protection, it should be said that the soldier who wears the exoskeleton is the medieval knight who wears heavy armor, and in front of them, those armed men who do not even have a pitiful body armor can hardly have the ability to resist."
"Perhaps the only uncertainty in this war is 'time'."
"After all, TLB is a relatively flexible organization, and even we haven't been able to catch them all-—— of course, special reasons don't count."
"But this time they seem to be planning to organize a large-scale decisive battle."
Bob interrupted.
"Even if it is a so-called decisive battle, it is not that the two sides have lined up to be shot, according to the intelligence of the informant, the TLB will launch an attack on several key cities and annex them one by one by occupying the outlying towns."
"Such a strategy still has a serious impact on Pakistan's troops, and a quick victory is basically unlikely."
It's really unlikely.
Bob thought silently.
The total number of Pakistan's special response forces is only 12,000, of which only about 4,000 are elite with advanced equipment from China.
Such a number of people is too small compared to the crowd of the TLB organization.
A rout battle is easy to fight, but a war of annihilation?
No kidding, even if it's a pig, you can't catch up with that much.
Bob was relieved.
Obviously, he can accept his own defeat, but it is difficult to accept the success of his opponent.
The reason is simple, once the opponent does what he has not done, it will appear that he is especially stupid
"So it is still possible for Huaxia to be stuck in the quagmire of public security war."
He went on thoughtfully:
"Maybe, we should find a way to give TLB a little more energy."
"Let them drag down the Chinese people and their Middle East consortium strategy as much as possible."
"It's going to buy us a lot of time. Can we still walk the road in the Middle East? ”
The assistant thought for a moment and replied:
"It's difficult, although the Middle East is not monolithic, but in general, all parties are relatively united."
"Our big move may lead to the leakage of news, and it is even possible that Huaxia will be caught. That's not so rosy. ”
"Indeed."
Bob nodded slightly.
"Then provide them with some public opinion support. Of course, it's definitely not in favor of KBZY. ”
"It is important for us to question the rationality of cross-border strikes, and to question whether China's actions are a violation of sovereignty."
"Understood, I'll arrange it."
The assistant replied immediately.
In fact, this is the only strategy he can approve of
However, things turned out far beyond Bob's expectations, and the world's expectations.
Law and order warfare?
Inexistent.
Operation Autumn Wind, Day 0.
The Special Response Unit officially crossed the border and, after completing the handover with the AFghan side, began to move into the intended operational locations throughout Kandahar Province under Karim's central command.
The 20,000 people said that the entire mountainous area of Kandahar Province was divided into 50 grids, each of which was managed by a team of 400 people.
In this grid, the 400-man squad continued to divide the combat area according to the operational difficulty determined in the previous reconnaissance, and 20 teams dealt with the main strongholds in the grid.
No one knows where this information comes from, and according to common sense, it is impossible to achieve such a detailed level of intelligence, even if high-precision satellites and reconnaissance planes are used for real-time monitoring.
Needless to say, speculation about "quantum computing", "spy networks", and "RSA decoding technology" is rampant, but in fact, only the participants in the operation know that the source of this information is actually unpretentious.
With the efforts of the Huaxia support personnel led by Duan Jie, they spent two weeks, with the help of Zhan Lu, according to the terrain and the surrounding cultural environment, to deduce the areas in the grid that are most likely to hide armed personnel, and then with the help of the Rainbow-9 drone, these areas were reconnoitred.
And it turns out that the accuracy of the information can reach more than 60%.
Is this number low?
High enough.
On the battlefield, it can have more than half of the accuracy rate of intelligence, and it is almost easy to win a big battle.
What's more, the equipment of the Pakistani special response force this time can be called luxurious, and the short-range portable reconnaissance drones alone are configured according to the number of two per group.
The firepower at the class level is directly full, one person and one shot? And that's not all.
Class gun grenades + special hole-attacking equipment have become standard, not only the 4,000 elites, theoretically speaking, every 20,000 people is a big bomb.
The expected logistical support problems were also quickly resolved, and the construction of the transmission line did not encounter any difficulties, not because of the "defense upgrade", but because of the "infrastructure upgrade" and "monitoring upgrade".
Want to blow up the fleet? There was a rainbow-9 cruising in the sky staring at you.
Want to blow up traffic routes? It takes you two hours to deploy the bomb, and it only takes me ten minutes to fix it
So, under such a combat plan where the cost was pulled to the limit, a vigorous clean-up operation began.
And the progress is enough to shock everyone.
In two hours, a large force that had been assembled in the southeastern mountains and was preparing to carry out a build-up attack was discovered and positioned.
Two hours and 10 minutes later, the Pakistani "H-6" launched a strategic bombing rarely seen in this era.
A sea of fire covered the ground, and all living forces were shattered by the shock wave.
After two hours and 30 minutes, the bombardment ended, and the militants who had fled in all directions were called one by one by the export version of the Wuzhi-10 that had arrived.
Three hours later, Mansour's deputy, Sediqi, was confirmed dead, along with more than a dozen other senior leaders.
After 4 hours, the 15 grids where the TLB forces were weaker were cleared, and the troops in the grids began to drive the participating forces to the adjacent grids in a hand-holding formation.
In the process, Bob's remark that "so many pigs can't be caught" was confirmed, but he apparently forgot one thing:
Pigs don't have much fear, people do.
The extent of the grid is huge, and it is impossible to search them one by one by manpower, but the sound of artillery does not lie.
When the signature dull explosion of the QLZ-87 automatic howitzer sounded, the militants within a radius of a kilometer began to flee in a panic.
Surrounding a team by one person is no longer a joke, but an ironclad fact.
There are even some militants, when they see the soldiers of the special response force who left the team because of the wrong route, even if there are only three of them, and the militants who are holding dozens of AKs still choose to surrender.
Because all three are wearing exoskeletons.
The individual bazookas and up to 6 rockets on the hardpoints behind them are no joke
Day 0, 8 hours later, all the militants in the grid realized the seriousness of the problem.
As most observers expected, they began to abandon their resistance and take refuge in the mountains or among the ranks of civilians.
This should have caused a big problem for the clearance, but throughout the clearance process, the Pakistani special response force sent the same signal to all local residents:
We're serious, and where there's a mouse, there's us.
The radio station they left behind was activated several times, and after the residents called the police, the Army Aviation team used a high-profile and almost exaggerated posture to wash away the suspected armed personnel hiding places with firepower far exceeding the amount of economic ammunition, and the most elite rapid reaction units were directly airborne, sweeping the settlements like the Empire's Astarte.
Even if the frenzied militants did cause some civilian casualties in the process, the special response forces did not care at all.
They unabashedly show that they "don't care".
And the deterrent created by this "don't care" once again drove the militants back into the mountains.
Sixteen hours later, Mansour showed up and offered to negotiate.
All his layouts, all his elaborate tactics, had not had time to be used, but he had already been crushed to the ground like a worm.
Mansour was not reconciled
He had studied the exercise organized by Huaxia in Saudi Arabia and had some understanding of the combat methods of the Huaxia army.
He also thought that this time the liquidation would still be based on the tactics of armored units and supplemented by infantry.
But in fact, the flexible combat method of the class with the blessing of the mechanical exoskeleton directly stunned him.
Can crowd tactics still be played like this?
It is worthy of the pinnacle of light infantry. No, they are no longer light infantry, they are heavy infantry!
However, the Pakistani side did not accept his application for negotiations.
He had barely made a voice over the radio and the Internet, and Rainbow-9D, who had been waiting for a long time in the sky, locked on to his position.
Then, a precision-guided ground-penetrating thermobaric bomb bloodied his underground fortress, and by the time the ground troops arrived, all that was left was the charred, fat figure on the wall
At this point, the first wave of the offensive of Operation Autumn Wind was basically over.
Karim made a speech to the outside world and announced the results of the first phase.
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
Military commentators are keenly aware that this is definitely the most costly and highest-tech war ever fought by mankind since the beginning of the 21 st century.
The electromagnetic interference of the whole channel cuts off the command system of the militants, and various unmanned equipment and high-precision reconnaissance equipment open the map to the centimeter level, armed to the teeth of individual soldiers and powerful firepower, according to the combat situation command system AI to make an accuracy of more than 90% of the micro-operation level scheduling, as well as second-level air support speed
Everything has been done to the extreme.
Is this a war?
No, it's just a step-by-step "cleaning".
At this time, Bob's order on public opinion warfare had just reached the major media in the United States.
Before they even had time to pick up a pen, the war was over.
