Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 561: Deployment and War Begins

Therefore, everyone is satisfied with the fact that they rushed to the battle on their own, while the combat missions were carried out by the F-15 fighter jets transferred from the Lemonnier Air Base in Djibouti.

That side is closer to Maliland. It is too far to cross the Abyssinia Pass to reach Mogadishu for combat. It is better to start from Neilangbi.

As for the F-15, which the Chinese once claimed did not have a pound of weight used for ground attack, there have not been many opportunities for conventional air combat since the end of the Cold War, so the F-15E Strike Eagle came into being.

In order to deal with the Sumali Youth Team this time, they allocated a total of 4 F-15Es and hundreds of JDAM joint attack munitions.

Even if one shot can only take away three or five people, it is enough to cause trouble for the other side. Lao Mei is unwilling to send out ground combat personnel, and they will really help you drop bombs if they have air support.

As for whether they will throw missiles on your head, the safest approach is to wait until they have finished throwing the missiles and returned before entering the battlefield. Old Yefu experienced this firsthand when he was in Xulya.

So many tanks, all blown back to pieces.

Tunguska can intercept consumer drones, but it can’t intercept JDAM!
Three days later, the USS Fire, which had sailed along the coastline around the Cape of Good Hope, finally arrived in the waters of Jamaica. At the same time, four F-4Es also moved to the Moi Air Force Base.

Concentrated Fire Defense will launch ground strikes against the Jumali Youth Team within a week, and these four Strike Eagles will also carry out air strikes on the day of the attack, so they are quite busy at the moment.

"F-15E? These days it's still F-15EX, but it's enough to fight extremist organizations."

Looking at the attack eagle not far away, Xia Yu couldn't help but think of the advanced eagle that the Chinese successfully completed its maiden flight in February this year and successfully won the first batch order of 2 aircraft.

Including logistics, it costs $12 billion. It is really expensive, but also really little.

Stealth fighters are good things, but their high cost cannot cover everything. The F-16 can be upgraded and modified and continued to be used, and the same is true for the F-15.

The previously messy "central control" has been replaced with a large touch screen. The new energy color TV is indeed not deceiving me, but the price is the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

It's just fine for the Magnesians to use themselves. The A-29 Toucan and AC-208B Combat Caravan are enough for the Afica black guys. The few rich people in the North and Philippines should use F-16s if they need to use F-16s, and use Flankers if they need to use Flankers.

After all, the hourly cost of $2.7 is too expensive, and there are very few countries in the world that can afford it and buy it.

Xia Yu, the boss of PMC company, doesn't expect any advanced eagles. He would be satisfied if he could get two F-15C/D antique eagles to enrich his collection in a few years.

The Chinese are not willing to make a move yet, but just like the F-14 Tomcat, as long as the price is right, it is not impossible to negotiate for the fully-returned models.

It's fine if private military contractors put it into operation, but the F/A-18 Hornet can be used commercially, which no company can afford.

With the same budget, you can get two red fighting falcons. In the end, the twin-engine heavy fighter is still a special game for players who spend money.

…………

"Calling the boss, this is the fire signal, we have arrived in Mogadishu."

Looking out the porthole, Lao Zhao contacted Xia Yu. The dock landing ship with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons passed by a group of fishing boats along the coast. The third-party perspective was extremely impactful.

Fortunately, there is not much else in Yading Bay except for the naval warships of various countries, and these fishermen who have some part-time jobs are well-informed.

But today, this landing ship belonging to a certain PMC company is a little different.

Yes, naval warfare is only a part-time job, while transporting people and goods and landing on the beach are the main jobs.

"Then let's land and set up camp directly at the outpost of the Jumali Youth Team from the outskirts of Mogadishu."

Xia Yu formally gave the order.

In the early hours of the morning, a water-based caravan was divided into two groups and sent all the crew members to the fire station.

Before Lao Zhao contacted Xia Yu, they had already made preparations to set off, and now they received the boss's order:
"Om~~"

The stern door of the Endurance class opened, and two Mustang air-cushion landing craft, each carrying a Leclerc UAE, drove out of the wet dock and rushed towards the beach.

随后是T-80U和T-80BVM，KF-31和KF-41，猎豹A9和……

"Wow~Wow~~"

Two armed AS 550s were patrolling in the sky, while self-propelled anti-aircraft guns on the ground were protecting their safety.

Soon, the armored convoy completed its assembly on the beach.

Locals watched in amazement as the convoy headed for the far interior of Mogadishu, where it would be joined by AU blue helmets.

At the same time, the tribal alliance government was also informed.

The spies lying in ambush by the Jumali Youth Team also learned of the existence of the concentrated fire defense, and the news was quickly passed on to the leader Abdi.

"Concentrated fire defense? We haven't even taken revenge on Kenniya yet, but you guys showed up first."

Abdi couldn't help but mutter.

Their plan to attack the Kenniya WRC event a few years ago failed because of this PMC company.

But the opponent's lair was on the west coast of Affi, and the Jemali Youth Team could not reach there at all. Therefore, they put their revenge on hold and focused on attacking Keniya.

As a result, because the other side deployed infantry fighting vehicles for concentrated fire defense on the border, their large forces could not pass through and they could only send small forces there. They were unable to make any major moves for many years.

The situation has improved a lot in the past two years, and coupled with the impact of the black swan event, the Jumali Youth Team dealt a heavy blow to Kenniya's fragile tourism industry.

But they were happy for only a few days before the other side called for concentrated fire defense again, and fought on their home turf.

Don't say that happiness will lead to sorrow. This is something that we have to face sooner or later. Abdi has been collecting intelligence on concentrated fire defense.

He knew that the enemy was stronger than before. Various armored units were added one after another. Not to mention the fighter jets that were operated by the museum to make money, there were also several aircraft in the combat sequence.

"Notify everyone. For the next period of time, be prepared for concentrated fire and bombing by the Magnesium people. All troops should disperse and live in different places."

"Yes, leader!"

The deputy contacted Abdi as instructed. In addition to that company, Lao Mei had also used drones to bomb them before, and had gained some experience from that.

For example, as long as they live in scattered places, they will not be easily wiped out. Afika's life is worthless, and it is normal to lose warriors who have been with them day and night on the road of jihad. Under the guidance of Pearl, a steady stream of warriors join them.

Not only the Jamali people, but also the Asayobiya and Kenniya people crossed the border and joined their Jamali youth team.

The experience these warriors gained with their blood allowed more people to survive.

But seeing as how aggressively the enemy was coming, with ground forces and air units attacking from both sides, their losses this time would definitely be in the four digits.

Thinking of this, Abdi decided not to confront the concentrated fire defense head-on this time.

Once the casualties reach the red line, they will temporarily retreat to the mountains.

No matter how powerful those tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are, they can only watch helplessly. Fighter jets can still bomb, but the effect is not as good as in the plains.

Abdi, who had an idea, contacted his trusted general, Malim Aimanin of the Aiman ​​Brigade.

It was this guy who led the team into the magnesium army base that year, and his unit was also the most powerful one among the Jumeriah youth team.

"Malim, this time your Aiman ​​Brigade will meet this PMC company called Jihuo Defense. They are our old rivals. The blood of many warriors of our organization was stained in the Kenniya incident."

"Yes, leader!"

Malim took on this difficult task, but he could make the Magnesians lose face, and so could a PMC company. The pony who was offered a 1000 million dollar bounty by the Magnesians was very confident in his own ability.

He couldn't defeat the opponent head-on, but who said he couldn't launch a sneak attack?

For having such awareness, Huang Zi gave him a thumbs up.

But standing opposite to concentrated fire defense, all arrogance and cleverness are catalysts for death.

Not only the Aiman ​​Brigade, but the huge Jamali youth team will be hit hard.

The armored convoy marched in the field for more than 100 kilometers without any failure in the vehicle. The concentrated fire defense had already taken down the target's outpost and successfully established a camp.

"Om~~"

The An-124 flew over the camp, and parachutes were seen blooming in the air.

If there are no conditions for landing, transport planes can still perform airdrops. The supplies that cannot be transported by land can be directly delivered to Hans and his team by airdrop.

The company's light armored convoy left the camp, which was defended by a trinity of barbed wire, small phased array radar, and thermal imaging surveillance probes, and picked up all the supplies.

The heavy-duty convoy is preparing for tomorrow's attack. In the next two months, they will eliminate all the strongholds of the Jumali Youth Team controlling the tax collection area one by one.

The intensity of the battle is either very high or very time-consuming.

However, only by ensuring the smooth progress of the first phase of operations can the second phase achieve the effect that Xia Yu wants.

Of course, it was also crucial to guard against night attacks by the Jumali Youth Team. In addition to the Trinity Defense to prevent the enemy from sneaking in, there was also a Scan Eagle patrolling in the sky 24 hours a day.

The other side doesn't have the 122mm old hail, but the 107mm multiple rocket launchers produced by dozens of countries are so common in Afica that they can be towed by a pickup truck.

Fortunately, it is only a small probability event that the disciple is better than the master, and the original and authentic ones are the best.

In this deployment to Sumari, the Fire Defense Force was also equipped with 107mm multiple rocket launchers, but such good equipment is not needed in the first phase of operations. Armored convoys and armed helicopters are enough.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day, which was also a new week in the battle plan.

"Om~~"

The Leclerc UAE of the Mongoose crew drove out of the camp first. The four F-4E Strike Eagles that set off earlier than them had already arrived in the airspace near the target with 15-pound JDAMs loaded on them.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~~"

Guided by GPS, these glide-guided bombs dropped from a long distance hit several earthen houses in the target village.

Smoke and dust rose amid the violent explosion, and five militants in the house were eliminated.

Not counting the cost of sending out fighter jets, a JDAM that costs about 3 per round can take away five lives. To be honest, the cost-effectiveness is a bit low, but this is already the cheapest guided bomb the Chinese have.

At a price of 6K per person, the cost of ammunition to eliminate the 6000-odd-member Jumali Youth Team would be only million US dollars. However, the account is not calculated that way.

More militants were scattered in houses that were not marked by the fire defense and belonged to local villagers.

In this round, more than 20 JDAMs demolished more than 30 mud houses, but only took away less than 100 people. This is why ground troops are still needed to enter the scene.

After dropping their bombs, the four F-4Es in the sky retreated to Kenni Ya, and the armored convoy waiting 15 kilometers away began to accelerate forward.

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

The Leclerc UAE's large-caliber coaxial machine gun was the first to fire at the target.

"Yes, that's the feeling. I haven't worked for so long that my bones are almost rusted."

Hans said excitedly.

The other tank crews felt the same way. They had been waiting for this moment for too long and had to have a good fight.

At this moment, the coaxial machine guns and the gunfire from the remote-controlled weapon station exploded like beans, severely suppressing all the militants who showed up.

The large base with 300 people stationed there must be anti-tank missiles, but just as the launchers and missiles were moved outside, the guys standing in the blind spot of the armored convoy heard a cannon shot.

"Boom~~"

It was the second Leclerc UAE's 120mm main gun that fired a programmed round.

After the ScanEagle monitoring the entire battlefield discovered the highest priority target, the crew immediately notified the armored unit with the best position, number A2, and guided them to destroy the anti-tank unit.

"Well done, Armadillo."

Hans could see the images taken by ScanEagle in Leclerc Car No. 1, which was equipped with a broadcast terminal, so he contacted Gabriel to praise him.

The Armadillo crew is a new crew composed of pure American employees who have just joined the company. They are from the first batch of elite armored units equipped with Leclerc, but they have never seen actual combat.

This type of low-intensity combat is very suitable for training and collecting data on weapons and ammunition.

"Giant Panda, take care of the bunker at 11 o'clock."

Hans contacted the Panda crew of the B1 vehicle again. Their T-80U was equipped with new ammunition.

The ammunition of Soviet tanks mainly consists of four types: armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing shells, high-explosive shells, and gun-launched missiles.

Unlike NATO, which has a lot of strange special ammunition, my hometown has also been worried about foreign trade over the years.

"Penetrating expansion bomb, one round to load!"

After receiving the order, the driver, Big Panda, gave the order.

The gunner followed the instructions and the automatic loader rotated, pushing a full-caliber cylindrical shell with a stick on the top marked "BTS8 125MM PELE" into the barrel together with the barrel.

"Dong~~"

Aim at the target and fire directly. This penetration-expansion...or lateral-effect-enhanced bullet leaves the barrel and hits the target after flying over one kilometer.

"Boom~~"

Faced with the compacted soil of the bunker, the high-explosive bomb will directly trigger the fuse after hitting the target and explode outside.

However, the PELE bullet, which is specially designed to break obstacles, does not contain explosives and is not equipped with a fuse. It relies purely on physical action to attack. After penetrating the mud wall, the radial expansion stress of the inert core laterally squeezes the high-density projectile, causing it to disintegrate into countless fragments in the semi-enclosed bunker space, destroying all soft targets.

This is high-tech ammunition that keeps pace with the times. It is a new option besides the four-piece set. It is cheaper than artillery-launched missiles and has more penetration than high-explosive bombs. Everyone who has used it says it is good.

"Dong~dong~dong~~"

The main guns of several infantry fighting vehicles also opened fire at the same time, eliminating enemies that could not be seen from the plane field of vision under the guidance of the drone.

In modern warfare, it is not possible to do without opening the map.

Without three-dimensional battlefield perception, it would be like these militants dying one after another, and their deaths were meaningless.

But the real test is not these. Those who hide in the house and don't show their heads are the trouble.
