Chapter 1095: Fierce Battle in the North Five
In order for the mercenary corps to achieve an absolute victory in the last large-scale war in Afghanistan, Wu Chen also used his greatest resources to show the trump card in his hand, and the entire Golden Triangle Special Commando, as well as the two squads of the Devil Commando, were all put into this battlefield.
The selection and elimination of special forces is very cruel, the mercenary corps has more than 2 million elite mercenaries, but the number of special forces formed in the end is less than 20,000, which also includes logistics support troops, which shows how difficult it is.
A full squadron and four squads, that is, more than 500 special forces, entered the parking lot of armored vehicles one after another, took out sentry posts and patrols, and completely controlled the situation here.
There are many fuel vehicles near the parking lot, mainly gasoline, which is the fuel used for patrol vehicles, and when they go out to perform tasks, they generally do not use main battle tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, but these fuel transport vehicles have become a fatal hidden danger for armored vehicles in US military bases.
"The Golden Triangle Special Commandos and the Devil Commandos report, everything is ready." The secretary walked over to Eric's desk.
This is the military base of the mercenary regiment in Hurlem, where a Cossack mechanized infantry division is stationed, and an A-10 attack aircraft aviation wing and an F-111 fighter-bomber aviation wing are stationed at the airfield, as well as a B-52 strategic bomber wing and a Tu-16 Badger twin-engine high-subsonic strategic bomber wing.
Situated halfway between Mazar-i-Sharif and Kundutu, the city is an extremely important industrial base for oil and gas production, with gas gathering stations and refineries, as well as a large thermal power plant from which the electricity supply from the US military base is transmitted.
"First and second strike groups, you can start attacking." Eric said as he picked up the microphone of the communications device.
As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the TV, which happened to be reporting the premiere of the second part of the "Harry Potter" film series, and Wu Chen replied with a smile in front of the reporter.
Almost instantly, the US military bases in Kundutu and Baghlan, as well as the military bases of the Northern Alliance, were torn alive by a tremendous force, and the first round was the howitzer group that launched the first attack, and an artillery regiment fired seventy-two 105-millimeter grenades at a time, the explosive power of which was considerable.
The CIA training base in Baghlan and the headquarters of the Northern Alliance, which were the focal point of the second attack group, were specially cared for, and when a round of shells landed, it was actually blown up, and it should be said that there were no intact buildings on the ground.
The first place where the US military base in Kundutu was shelled was a helicopter site, and the US military, which was completely unprepared, lost almost all of its helicopter gunships and transport helicopters, and turned them into piles of smoky wreckage.
Taking advantage of this chaotic opportunity, the special forces of the Golden Triangle Special Commando activated the main battle tank, and a round of shells was fired at the office area of the center, especially flat fire, and then quickly evacuated the base, evacuating in the southeast direction, and the oil depot and ammunition depot exploded at the same time.
The U.S. troops who rushed to the armored vehicle parking lot were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them, all the remaining armored vehicles were shrouded in flames, and the ammunition inside the main battle tank was constantly detonated due to the high temperature, and people could not approach it at all.
After the main battle tank left the base, the rocket artillery regiment began to exert its might, and more than 2,000 rockets came in one round, and a steel rain fell from the sky, blowing up the US troops with nowhere to hide, and shrapnel flying in the sky tore everything in the base.
With such a concentration of personnel and equipment, it is both howitzers and rocket artillery, how can this be good?
After all, there were not many rockets in the rocket artillery regiment, and it was over after three rounds of firing at most, and it was really not easy to transport this thing, so only these were brought in for safety.
The surviving US troops were not intimidated and quickly organized forces to launch a counterattack, which also shows the military and psychological qualities of the superpower army, although the generals of the command are finished, but the brigade commanders and deputy brigade commanders of several brigades are still there.
While issuing orders, the senior general hurriedly contacted the coalition command to request reinforcements as soon as possible, and the logistics support department began emergency rescue, treating the wounded while extinguishing the fire, and also rescuing the base's materials.
The officer shouted and drove the GIs to the battlefield, pursued the enemy in armored transports, dozens of M109 self-propelled howitzers in the base began to launch shelling, and the surviving helicopters hurriedly took off, because the ballistics would not deceive them, and the artillery positions of the Taliban army were directly east of the base!
"It really deserves to be the world's number one military force, the speed of the counterattack is beyond my imagination, the organization is well organized, there is no sign of panic at all, beautiful! If the army of the mercenary legion can do the same, then it passes! Eric looked at the video footage transmitted by the drone and praised it.
A division of the Taliban army and a division of the guerrilla forces formed an interception line in the eastern wilderness and waged a desperate battle with the US troops using weapons such as anti-tank missiles, rocket launchers, and mines, and refused to allow the US troops to destroy the main battle tank units and artillery groups.
Fighter jets and helicopter gunships that took off from Kabul arrived on the battlefield in a very short time, raining ammunition on the enemy and dropping a large number of bombs. The guerrilla anti-aircraft missiles were also launched, and this situation was not expected in advance, and suddenly the plane fell down like dumplings, and the scene was extremely tragic.
"What do you say? The Taliban army actually had anti-aircraft missiles and shot down more than a dozen of our fighters and a dozen helicopter gunships? Where did they get anti-aircraft missiles? To be able to shoot down a fighter, at least a medium-range anti-aircraft missile, this is incredible! Mr. Four-Star Admiral was dumbfounded.
Tonight is the second unlucky heavy loss since the US army attacked Afghanistan, the last time in Kandahar and Herat, the Taliban army used rocket artillery to attack, the US troops in the two cities suffered heavy casualties, who knew that in the northern region, they actually hid rocket artillery units!
But this is too unbelievable, where did the Taliban army get so many rocket artillery? It's a rocket launcher, not a special bazooka!
Also, since they have such heavy weapons in their hands, how can they bear to use them until now, do the leaders of the Taliban army have such strategic thinking?
It doesn't matter how to explain this matter, the most troublesome thing at the moment is that after the second large-scale sneak attack, Kundutu and Baghlan in northern Afghanistan are finished, and the consequence of this is that the US army itself has no confidence to continue fighting.
