Gao Yang came back at a coincidental time, and after contacting Nzuba, he learned that an important battle was likely to be staged tonight.

Gao Yang, who was quietly staying in the villa, connected to the monitor, ready to watch the whole battle that was destined to be very exciting.

The pre-war deployment of the French was completed. This time, the French really committed themselves to taking it seriously.

The 2nd Armoured Brigade, the 6th Light Armoured Brigade and the 27th Mountain Infantry Brigade were the absolute mainstays of the French Army's deployment on the mainland.

The 2nd Panzer Brigade is the ace unit of the French Army. It has the "Chadian Expeditionary Regiment" (Marine Mechanized Infantry Unit), the 16th "Hunter" Battalion, the 1st Marine Artillery Regiment, the 13th Engineer Regiment, the 6th to 12th "Musketeers" Regiment, and the 2nd Command Signal Company.

It is armed with a large number of Leclerc main battle tanks, AMX-10P infantry fighting vehicles, 155 mm AUF1 self-propelled howitzers and other heavy weapons.

The French Army underwent several major drawdowns after World War II. In order to prevent the disappearance of many long-established and highly successful units, the French Army came up with a solution that was not a solution.

They pooled the numbers of multiple units and used them on one unit. For example, the 6th to 12th "Musketeers" regiments were one of them. This was a situation peculiar to the French Army and the British Army.

The 6th Light Armored Brigade was the first digitized unit in the French Army. It has the 1st Foreign Cavalry Regiment, the 1st "Sipashi Cavalry" Motorized Regiment, the 2nd Foreign Infantry Regiment, the 21st Marine Infantry Regiment, the 3rd Marine Artillery Regiment, the 1st Foreign Engineer Regiment, and the 6th Command Signal Company.

Armed with AMX-10RC wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicles, VAB armored transport vehicles, 155-mm AUF1 self-propelled howitzers and various vehicles.

The 27th Mountain Infantry Brigade is also a well-known unit. It has jurisdiction over the 7th "Hunter" Alpine Battalion, the 13th "Hunter" Alpine Battalion, the 27th "Hunter" Alpine Battalion, the 4th "Hunter" Anti-Tank Battalion, the 93rd Mountain Artillery Regiment, and the 2nd Foreign Engineer Regiment.

It is equipped with VAB armored transport vehicles, ERC-90 assault gun vehicles, TRF-1 155-mm towed howitzers and a large number of ordinary vehicles.

When these forces arrived in Africa and were reorganized, they were taken as the main force to attack the semi-besieged city of Yaoundé.

President Nzuba, who was clearly inferior in all respects, ordered his troops to retreat as soon as the French began to operate. The two sides are not at the same level of strength at all, and the end of a tough encounter is bound to be a fiasco.

The troops were ordered to leave the area of the city of Yaoundé, where the terrain was wide and suitable for large-scale mechanized operations. Bringing the French into the border areas with complex terrain, dense jungles and rivers is the best option for President Nzuba, who is disadvantaged.

After President Nzouba's army retreated, the morale-boosting French army pursued him after a short rest near the city of Yaoundé, intending to completely wipe out President Nzouba's military strength.

The news media of various countries in the world have reported that the French army is super combat-ready, and that President Nzuba's army was routed in a simple attack. It is quite a bit like the momentum of the US army sweeping through Iraq many years ago.

Touted by almost the world's news media, the morale of the French army was greatly boosted, and the vast majority of people believed that they would easily achieve a final victory.

It's just that President Nzuba didn't think about making the French feel better.

As soon as the French army left the city of Yaoundé, they found the roads increasingly difficult to navigate. Many lots have been badly damaged. The few bridges and tunnels were destroyed. The French army, which relied heavily on mechanized marching, was stuck in a complex and dilapidated road.

Watching the satellite reconnaissance show that President Nzuba's army was running farther and farther, the French could not wait.

After much discussion and planning, the French sent their 4th Airmobile Brigade.

More than 100 cougar and gazelle helicopters, under the cover of Tiger gunships, carried the officers and men of the 9th Marine Regiment to attack an important town more than 100 kilometers away, Donador.

Donador was originally just a quiet and peaceful town. It's just that it's at the intersection of two major highways, and less than three kilometers outside of the city is a large river that runs east and west through the country. There is an iron bridge over the river that is rare in the country.

Except for this bridge, which has not yet been destroyed by Nzuba, and which can pass through French main battle tanks without any problems. The town was also an important supply base for President Nzouba's army. There is a lot of oil stored here.

President Nzouba's army is also mechanized. Although most of it is just trucks, jeeps, off-road vehicles, pickups and the like. But how to say that it is also a troop that moves on four wheels. Oil and roads are also extremely important to them.

After several close reconnaissance by satellites and aerial reconnaissance aircraft, the French finally confirmed that the area was empty and there were not many troops stationed. After research, it was decided to occupy this strategic point by means of an air assault.

And not just to occupy this strategic location. The French also wanted to increase their prestige with this military operation.

Because of the defeat of the Foreign Legion, France's prestige among the surrounding countries declined dramatically. The French, eager to regain their momentum, were determined to fight a good battle here.

The French, who thought they had all the advantages, had no idea that this would be a trap set specifically for them.

When the 4th Airmobile Brigade of the French Army arrived in the city of Yaoundé. President Nzouba has identified this highly mobile and offensive force as a serious threat.

In order to be able to deal a blow to this threat, President Nzuba deliberately chose this important target as a bait to seduce them.

There were French military satellites overhead, and President Nzuba deliberately transferred most of the garrison troops. Make a defensive empty gesture.

Right in the forest around Donador, under the cover of an omnidirectional shield. A large number of troops are quietly lurking here. In addition to a large number of infantry, there were artillery and air defense units, and even a large number of armored units!

When the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft closely monitoring the movements of the French army in the sky and the bionic robot lurking inside the French army headquarters sent back the information that the French 4th Airmobile Brigade was about to make a move towards Donador. President Nzuba cracked his mouth, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. "The fish bites."

More than 100 helicopters with thousands of elite soldiers roared in the direction of Donadore. Providing cover support for them were the Air Force's 17th Fighter Squadron and Electronic Early Warning Detachment.

The bright moonlight shone brightly, casting a dazzling silver glow over the earth.

Under the light of the moon, a huge E-3F AWACS aircraft closely monitored the town of Donador and its surrounding area at an altitude of several thousand meters.

"Sir, the air cover force has arrived in the designated airspace and is awaiting orders." The communications corps reported the information to the commander of the air unit, Colonel Karel.

Colonel Karel, with a pair of rimless glasses, a grim complexion, and a typical French big-nosed face, looked at the time and asked in a low voice, "Where is the 4th Airmobile Brigade?" ”

After contacting the 4th Airmobile Brigade, the Signal Corps announced in a loud voice, "Sir, they are approaching the target area. In five minutes, the target will be attacked. ”

"Hmm." Colonel Karel nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "What is the situation with the enemy ground target?" ”

"Sir, there is no reaction from the enemy forces. Everything is in good condition. The intelligence officer spoke up.

Colonel Karel slowly walked over to the surveillance screen and carefully watched the surveillance intelligence.

After a while, he spoke up: "Order the attack formation to launch an air strike on the predetermined target." The radar of the cover formation is turned on and pays attention to the flight altitude. The AWACS radar conducts an all-round scan, noting whether the enemy air force is coming to obstruct it. ”

"Yes, sir!" The communications soldier shouted.

After the order was given, Major Enzo, the intelligence officer sitting next to him, said with a smile, "Sir, the enemy army does not have fighters capable of fighting at night. Do we think too highly of them? Major Enzo's words caused a mocking laugh to erupt in the cabin.

Colonel Karel frowned slightly, and waited until the laughter had subsided before he spoke up, "Gentlemen, please do not despise any enemy. We are now on the battlefield! Please be responsible for your comrades-in-arms and your country! ”

Colonel Karel's indifferent words caused the cabin to fall silent immediately. The officers and men looked at each other, and then they all lowered their heads and carried out their work in earnest.

Soon, the voice of the attack formation came from inside the communicator, "The target is locked, the attack begins." ”

Eight ground-superior Rafale fighters lined up in a neat formation, lowered their altitude, and dropped their bombs and guided missiles on the town of Donador on the ground.

The goal of the French was to destroy such targets as local defender strongholds, barracks, headquarters, communication centers, supply points, etc., discovered through satellite and aerial reconnaissance.

They didn't attack the roads and houses, let alone the iron bridge outside the town. The French are ready to keep it for themselves.

Precision-guided bombs soon landed on the town of Donadore. Suddenly, a large exploding explode of bright and blazing explosions rose from the silent town. The churning firelight mixed with gunpowder smoke and dust scattered in all directions, turning the whole town into a sea of fire in this quiet night.

The air raids of the French were as intense as pouring oil in a pot of hot water! The flames were churning and the smoke was filling. The earth and rocks are flying, and the sky is full of dust.

The remnants of the soldiers and the townspeople, like headless flies, roared in horror. At this moment, between life and death, the instinct of human beings to face fear fully bursts out.

Villa Bern, the study of Gaoyang. Leaning on the leather sofa, Gao Yang, who was looking at the monitor with a wine glass, shook his head slightly, and said softly, "The French army still has strength." Without the help of external forces, Nzuba has absolutely no chance of winning. ”

"You're telling the truth." Yuan Diane said loudly, "It's just that if there is no external force, what fool will take the initiative to provoke an opponent who is absolutely impossible for him to defeat?" Your assumptions simply don't hold true. (To be continued......)
