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

Chapter 564: Second Stage, Third Level Firepower

Time quickly came to Christmas of 21. As a Christian country with 38% of the population believing in Protestantism and 28% believing in Catholicism, Keniya still attaches great importance to this foreign festival.

For this purpose, Xia Yu specially advanced the delivery date of that batch of AC-208B combat caravans from New Year's Day in 22 to Christmas a few days ago.

"If we didn't have enough helicopters, this thing would still be very suitable for dealing with the Jumali Youth Team."

Boss Xia patted the fuselage of the turboprop attack aircraft and spoke to Justin and the generals of the Kenniya Air Force.

Because of its size and greater redundancy, the AC-208B is more adaptable to battlefield environments than the A-29.

There is no need for a dirt runway, just a piece of flat grass can take off and land, not to mention that it has a hovering time several times that of a helicopter.

After completing this deployment of the Jumali and evacuating the concentrated fire defense, they will be able to search and attack the revived Jumali youth team on their own.

Helicopters are more suitable for situations where the target has been marked, and all ammunition can be poured out in a short period of time, using the tactics of quick attack and quick retreat, which is not suitable for the Kenniya people.

"When did the Kandahar Air Force buy the AC-208B? It makes me nostalgic when I see it. We were deployed in Kandahar at that time."

At the hangar door at the other end, an F-15E pilot said with a look of nostalgia on his face.

He didn't know that these combat caravans and the AC-208B squadron in Kandahar were actually a group of aircraft.

Before delivery, Xia Yu gave away customized paint for free as requested by Party A. The national flag is the flag of Kenni Ya, and the number is also the number of Kenni Ya Air Force.

But the commander of this temporary F-15E squadron knew some inside information because of his high rank.

This PMC company called Jihuo Defense seems to have deployed in Afuhan last time?
There are no ghosts among them, and his name can be written backwards.

But smart people know what to say and what not to say.

"It's definitely too late this time. We need time to build up our combat effectiveness. We'll have to rely on your company to handle the battle against the Jumeria Youth Team, Mr. Sherlock."

Justin said politely.

If he had to say what he liked, he would definitely prefer a serious fighter jet, but he also knew that the combat caravan was the best choice.

Because the situation is different from that in Kenya Faso, the Toucan, which is more like an attack aircraft than the Fighter Caravan, is not suitable for them. This is a good opportunity for Xia Yu to sell both goods and get rid of all the A-29 and AC-208B that have been received.

"Please rest assured and leave it to us. The second phase of the operation will officially begin after New Year's Day."

Xia Yu said confidently.

The bombing by the Magnesians has reached its final stage. After two more rounds of strikes in the next week, the four F-4Es and ground crew will be withdrawn to Djibouti.

At that time, it will be the turn of the air units of Concentrated Fire Defense to appear. Two red fighting falcons are not enough, and their company also has European falcons.

The lifespan of these F-16C/D and F-16AM/BM may be a bit old, and their avionics are not good enough for modern air combat, but they can still carry electro-optical pods and launch laser-guided bombs.

Even so, the bombing squadron was still composed of four fighter planes, two regular workers and two temporary workers.

They will bomb the members of the Jamali Youth Team who have fled into the mountains. The effect of bombing in the mountains will definitely not be as good as on the plains, so the main force will still be ground forces.

Well, there are also the company’s low-altitude units – the four Hind series.

Rudolf and his staff will also participate in the second phase of the operation. Previously, they performed expulsion operations in Afuhan, and this time in Jamali, they will serve as wingmen for the weasel and flying squirrel crews respectively.

This is a serious attack against the enemy, and both crews are full of enthusiasm.

"Next, our target will be this stronghold."

At the pre-war meeting, Hans presented the plan for this operation on behalf of Xia Yu.

"This is also the largest base of the Jumali Youth Team, with a total of more than 500 people. It has a training ground, and new members will be sent here for military training."

The opponent's similar large strongholds are not located on cliffs, but there is at least a mountain road for pickup trucks to pass through.

This kind of road can only accommodate four-wheeled light armored vehicles, not to mention large eight-wheeled vehicles, even medium-sized six-wheeled vehicles cannot drive in.

As for those small outposts in scattered locations, supplies can only be carried by people or donkeys, and even the best all-terrain vehicles cannot reach them.

To attack these strongholds, BMW, MINI and their sons and daughters will need to contribute.

A family of five can be divided into two directions to attack at the same time, and the number 4 group will also be split into two parts, so that more than two strongholds can be attacked at the same time.

Of course, their main task is to serve as a laser guidance team, lurking near the target.

One reason why precision-guided weapons do not work well in mountain warfare is that the air guidance is inaccurate, whether it is the optoelectronic module of a drone or the optoelectronic pod of a fighter jet.

Ground guidance can be improved to some extent, and for this reason, the focus of the second phase of operations, Xia Yu, is specially organized around 24-hour all-weather artillery support.

Although there are not many of them, there are three layers: far, middle and near.

Not to mention close range, the extremely lightweight 120mm titanium alloy mortar will be pulled right under the target's nose by BMW.

For medium range, there is the 107mm multiple rocket launcher that Xia Yu obtained together with the airborne anti-aircraft vehicle.

Conventional artillery shells can only hit eight kilometers away, but the ultimate authentic version can hit 20 kilometers, which is almost catching up with the range of the 122mm howitzer's base-discharge shells.

But I'm not exaggerating. The range of the guided model is shorter, but it is still 12 kilometers.

As for the long-range artillery support, of course it was the M-777 howitzer that Xia Yuto Thompson got. It was hoisted by a Chinook and set up in a semi-fixed position in the mountains. One gun can take care of multiple directions.

Compared with the mountainous areas of Afuhan, the mountainous areas bordering Jumali and Kenniya have more lush vegetation and are home to more scattered militants.

Therefore, the helicopter flight route must be selected over uninhabited areas, and before the battle begins, it is strictly forbidden to be deployed to the last kilometer to avoid alerting the enemy.

Based on these restrictions, Xia Yu arranged these three levels of fire support according to local conditions, which was also a practical exercise for the new precision-guided munitions.

Yes, large-caliber mortar shells, rockets, and large-caliber howitzer shells are all precision-guided munitions.

In this day and age, except for large-scale meat grinding, who still uses conventional artillery shells?

It's all laser + inertial multi-mode composite guidance. If you want to change it up, you can pay extra to add PGK satellite guidance. This is all negotiable.

Another thing is that he does not use precision-guided weapons, and his combat style of concentrated fire defense can easily hurt his own people. The artillery shells must have eyes.

"During the second phase of the operation, all tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are out of service. You don't have to save ammunition for Party A. Even if it's just a mud house, three or five people can apply for fire support."

After Hans roughly explained the battle plan, Xia Yu also stood up to make a summary. This was also to dispel the employees' concerns.

Other people’s conventional artillery shells are not cheap, and precision-guided munitions are even more expensive.

However, our boss Xia buys all the goods at cost price, and the newer ammunition is directly sponsored, so his company can afford it.

"Yes, Boss!" everyone responded in unison.

The tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are out of service, but the crew members are not resting.

They were originally members of the artillery squad providing artillery support during mountain warfare. They had participated in all the previous training sessions and of course they had to go into actual combat.

However, it is mainly short-term employees from the country who are in charge, and the foreign crew only needs to take care of the UAV crew and the M-777 howitzer crew.

After the meeting, time quickly came to after New Year’s Day.

"Wow~Wow~~"

On the grass of Moi Air Force Base, little Youzi and her brothers and sisters watched a formation of Chinooks with four landing gears and Sea Knights with three landing gears take off and fly towards Jeju Island, their eyes full of longing.

However, before they found their father, four F-4s that arrived attracted their attention.

After crossing the border, the transport helicopter fleet arrived at a mountain valley along the route planned by drones and satellites.

After the second phase began, the original outpost camp became a false target, and the location that could only be reached by helicopter was the new camp.

Weapons, equipment and daily necessities were transported here in batches.

Later, three Super Hornets joined the transport fleet, and personnel traveled back and forth on Fennec Foxes and Black Hawks until all functional areas of the camp were set up.

Little Yuzi and her younger brother and sister also came for the visit as they wished, and then their weasel stayed.

After all, they are the only armored units in airborne operations, and they are the main force in attacking strongholds.

The artillery shells that were previously not allowed to be loaded were all fully loaded, and by the time the official battle began, there were still two bases of spare ammunition for battlefield supplies.

There is no need to use bullets if a problem can be solved with artillery shells. Previously, we were just afraid of accidental injuries in crowded areas.

Apart from the militants, the only people in the mountain strongholds were a small number of women and children they had abducted.

Especially the training ground for the first battle of the second phase. After all, half of the major crimes committed by the Jumeriah Youth Team were self-explosions.

Adult men, especially those with gun calluses on their hands and shoulders, cannot go to many places in the city.

Only women and children are allowed into hotels and schools, and then Boom Boom Boom makes big news.

With this level of combat, Xia Yu could not guarantee that he could capture all of them alive. He could only try his best to capture them and hand them over to the United Nations.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Less than 20 kilometers away from Point A, about 22 kilometers away from Point B, and Point C..., the Chinook placed the M-777 howitzer hoisted under the fuselage on a flat hill.

What followed was a beautiful single-point hover in the air. The tail hatch opened, and everyone relayed boxes of single-shot 155mm shells to the top of the mountain.

For the next week, rain or shine, this howitzer will be deployed here until it completes its combat objectives and moves to the next position.

Kuhn was in charge here personally. The 155mm howitzers were all similar, and they could handle it with their past experience and previous training.

At the same time, the two Sea Knights also transported two airborne 107mm multiple rocket launchers to a more forward position.

"Om~~"

Two 12×12 all-terrain vehicles carrying 6 directional tubes and 6 rounds of ammunition storage modules drove down from the helicopter.

24 rockets for one vehicle were still not enough, so 24 more boxes of ammunition, each containing two rockets, were unloaded, giving us three bases.

In front of them, very close to the patrol area of ​​the Jumali Youth Team, three Super Hornets unloaded five donkeys and a dozen people, as well as a large amount of weapons and equipment.

The company's three 120mm titanium alloy forcibles were all used, and the donkey would pull them together with the shells to a position about 10 kilometers away from stronghold A.

Then follow the laser-guided team to the front line and wait for the battle to officially begin.

The remaining combat employees will arrive at the front line by airdrop on the same day and deal a fatal blow to Stronghold A.

"Team leader, before we retired, we served mules and horses, but we didn't expect to be demoted to donkeys after retirement."

Leading the meritorious war donkey BMW, carrying more than 50 kilograms, Matteo still had the energy to chat with Lucas.

The 6th Jager Brigade of the Austrian Army is the only mountain unit that still retains mules and horses. The 4 people in group 8 came from the 6th Jager Brigade.

"Mules and horses are suitable for Europe, but donkeys are more suitable here, not to mention that this one is an old employee who has been with the boss since the early days of the business. He came to Kenniya a few years ago and helped the mongoose team wipe out the escaped Jumali Youth Team."

As a fan of the boss, Lucas knew this deployment in detail. Now that they had brought the BMW family to Dongfei again, they could definitely take the Jumeria youth team away completely.

Similarly, this was also BMW's last deployment at the end of his physical peak. He launched two attacks and killed a large extremist organization of nearly 10,000 people. In addition, he had a wife and children, so it can be said that he had no regrets in his life.

"So that's how it is. Excuse me, Sergeant Donkey!"

Matteo freed his hand holding the machine gun and saluted the BMW.

The old friend just snorted in response, as if to say, don't salute me on the battlefield, be careful of enemy snipers, I still want to return to Bogo Village to retire!

After marching in the mountains for most of the day, they finally arrived at the designated mortar position.

The artillery crew unloaded the mortars, shells and supplies, and after a short rest, Group 4 drove the five donkeys and continued forward.

After unloading half of the load onto the donkey, the eight people all felt a lot more relaxed. They had to finish the 10-kilometer mountain road in a straight line before dawn.

We will lie in wait and rest for a day, and then officially go into battle tomorrow night.

Xia Yu at the Shanwo outpost camp contacted all the dispatched units and only then did he feel relieved.

Nearly 6000 members of the Chumali Youth Team are hiding in the vast mountainous area. The second phase of operations will take three months, or a quarter, to completely wipe them out.

It seems that this year, their family of five will have to spend the New Year in the mountains of Dongfei.

How can I put it? As long as the whole family is together, it doesn’t matter where we celebrate the New Year!

I just have to ask Old Wu to make the New Year's Eve dinner more sumptuous. We had Texas Braised Chicken and Beggar's Chicken on Christmas, so we have to eat even better during the New Year.

Soon it was completely dark. After dinner and brushing their teeth, the three siblings squeezed onto the camp bed in their father's tent to watch cartoons.

Well, connect to the satellite network and follow the updates of "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality"!
"Boom~Boom~~"

"Dad, his fire bomb technique is not as powerful as our rockets."

Watching the protagonist using fire bomb magic to destroy the body, Xiao Youzi called out to his boss father who was working overtime in the tent.
