The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1079 Ambush the Transport Convoy
This time, the leadership team of Panshan Group has undergone a major reshuffle.

This is extremely rare in the history of Panshan Group.

Nine people were promoted to deputy general managers of Panshan Group and became members of the Party Committee, which can be said to have a ripple effect.

Not to mention, among the leadership teams of various groups, there are as many as 60 people who are unable to continue working intensively due to age or illness or have been transferred to ministries or local governments, and whose appointments and removals need to be announced at the Panshan Group's annual meeting.

This personnel appointment and removal is also a focus of the year-end party committee meeting.

After the year-end party group meeting, a group photo was taken as a commemoration.

Liu Tao also held a cocktail party in the cafeteria of Panshan Group headquarters, which was to welcome other colleagues to their new positions and encourage them to continue working hard in their new positions. It was also a farewell party for colleagues who had reached retirement age or were being transferred to ministries or local governments.

Every year, there are always people coming and going.

The only difference is the number of people.

The end of the year-end party group meeting also means that this year's Spring Festival is approaching and can be clearly heard.

This year, Panshan Group’s spring break will start from February 2, which is the 8th day of the 2th lunar month, and will last until February 25, which is the 16th day of the st lunar month, including three weekends, for a total of days of holiday.

Except for a few positions on duty, most jobs are welcoming the Spring Festival holiday.

Just as China entered the Spring Festival holiday, many people chose to travel. Due to the frequent bombings in European and American countries, almost no one in China traveled to Europe and the United States this year. Most people chose to travel domestically. Each province and city has its own tourism resources, which are enough to meet everyone's travel needs.

Another part of the people travel to Southeast Asia, including Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

For example, on the Mekong River, many people choose to take a sightseeing boat to tour the Mekong River, enjoying the natural scenery of the Mekong River and the customs and culture on both sides of the Mekong River.

In recent years, a new wave of venturing into Southeast Asia has been set off in China, with a large number of people going abroad to explore Southeast Asia.

While the Chinese people were celebrating the New Year with great enthusiasm, Afghanistan was still fighting happily.

The reinforcements of the coalition forces arrived in Afghanistan one after another, which greatly relieved the shortfall of the coalition forces. However, the more troops there are, the more weapons, ammunition and supplies will be consumed.

This forced the United States to purchase more supplies from all over the world and transport them to Afghanistan by land and air.

The more frequent the transport, the more frequent the guerrilla attacks.

A road, this is one of the coalition forces' transportation routes.

At this time, the guerrillas were digging pits, burying bombs and laying fuses in the early morning.

The guerrillas chose two locations, about 50 meters apart, which was exactly within the killing radius of the two roadside bombs. In this way, any enemy convoy, even if it consisted of more than a dozen cars, could be blown into the sky.

Everything was ready before daybreak.

Except for one sentry, all the other guerrillas fell asleep.

Slowly, the sky brightened.

"Hurry, get up, the American convoy will be here soon!" The sentry woke up the guerrillas one by one.

The guerrillas took out compressed biscuits, ate them quickly, and drank water. This was the food that each guerrilla brought with them when they went out to fill their stomachs. Normally, they could only eat compressed biscuits or beef jerky when they were on a mission.

While eating and waiting, I soon felt the ground shaking.

On the road in the distance, dust was flying, and a convoy slowly appeared. In the front was an M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle!
The guerrillas held their breath, knowing that this was the most critical moment!
If the two bombs could not explode, then they would have to slip away quietly as if they had never been there.

If these two bombs can explode successfully, then the attack can be launched.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~" The M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle moved forward, stirring up dust, and kept moving forward, its turret constantly turning.

Inside the infantry fighting vehicle, a squad of American soldiers were on high alert. They were looking outside through the firing holes on both sides of the vehicle, and flames could be spit out from both sides at any time.

Following this infantry fighting vehicle are seven transport vehicles, which transport ammunition, supplies, and fuel.

This transport convoy appears to be cautious because ever since the United States launched the war in Afghanistan, Afghan guerrillas have been constantly attacking coalition transport convoys.

These cowardly guerrillas dare not engage in direct combat with the coalition forces; they only know how to launch sneak attacks.

Every failure makes one wiser. The coalition forces are also learning from their mistakes and their transport convoys will be more cautious.

Once a problem is discovered, shoot or even call for air support.

The coalition forces even set up a special subject, which is how to deal with guerrilla warfare!

The U.S. military has always been pursuing high-tech and information-based warfare. This kind of warfare is naturally always advantageous in a direct fight between two armies. However, after arriving in Afghanistan, the U.S. military found that this tactic could not deal with the guerrillas.

The guerrillas did not engage in direct combat with the coalition forces, but either engaged in street fighting, and did not defend the street fighting to the death, or they engaged in guerrilla warfare, constantly attacking the coalition transport convoys or isolated coalition troops.

The mountain wind blew, and the bare mountain made a rustling sound.

The infantry fighting vehicle continued to move forward, and the huge body moved forward.

Suddenly, 'BOOM! ' Without any warning, a loud noise sounded.

As this sound rang out, the people inside the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle felt as if they were sitting on a bumpy plane, and their bodies involuntarily tilted to one side.

Something seemed to be churning in their stomachs, and they opened their mouths and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, everything went black before their eyes, and they lost consciousness.

However, it was this infantry fighting vehicle that was blown up on the roadside and rolled down the hillside.

Another car also exploded, with flames shooting into the sky.

"Go, go quickly! Charge forward!" the captain of the US military transport convoy roared, knowing that the guerrillas were ambushing them here.

But by this time, the guerrillas had already launched an attack.

The battle ended soon.

Without the M2 Infantry Fighting Vehicle, only the driver and one soldier were left on each transport truck, and they were no match for the guerrillas.

The American soldiers were either killed or captured, and then the drivers had to obey the guerrillas' orders and drive the transport truck to a place in order to survive.

After arriving at the place, the guerrillas who had won the victory roared excitedly, and then began to carry weapons, ammunition and supplies. These weapons and ammunition can be used for fighting, while the supplies can solve the guerrillas' supply problems.

Without funds and being blockaded, it is not easy for the guerrillas to get supplies from the outside.

The guerrilla leader even shouted: If we don’t have guns or cannons, the US military will make them for us; if we don’t have milk or bread, the US military will serve as our transport captain!
