They fired at the SAM army with AK-47 rifles, and rockets with smoke trails attacked the SAM special forces.
At major intersections, Somalis burned tires and set up roadblocks.
Four Delta Force snipers on the Black Hawk helicopter that was responsible for supporting the operation sat on ammunition boxes and specifically shot at the Somali people who were holding weapons.
But when one Somali fell, the people around him quickly picked up their weapons and continued fighting.
During the fierce battle, the RPG-7 rocket launcher shooter hit the Black Hawk helicopter code-named Super 61.
Chapter 155: The 141 Task Force stirs up trouble, and Sam is stunned
"Hey, don't tell me, these Black State militias are pretty powerful."
"The Black Hawk was taken down. Is this the first time Sam has done this since the overseas war?"
Barak Market, in an inconspicuous small building.
Soap was wearing urban camouflage uniform and squatting at a slightly opened window, holding a G28 precision marksman rifle.
In the window next to him, Toyard also had an M110 sniper rifle on his back.
Maybe, it's a bit boring.
Soap was chewing gum and chatting idly into the communicator.
"If they get angry, even ants can kill elephants, not to mention these Somali people who are defending their homes." Xiaoqiang's magnetic voice sounded in the communicator.
"It's mainly because Aidid's brainwashing is so powerful. Besides soldiers and militia, there are also citizens joining the war."
"Every household has an AK. In Somali, you can live without a cell phone or a TV, but you can't live without a gun."
"Mogadishu has a population of at least several hundred thousand. Mobilizing them... Tsk, Sam only has so few men. It's tantamount to seeking death."
"More than that, the Aidid government soldiers were well-organized and the counterattack was clearly planned."
The voices of Bald Yuri, Sandman, Zero, and Scarecrow also sounded in the communicator one after another.
Soap was about to say something...
Captain Qian's serious voice sounded in the communicator, interrupting the conversation among several people.
"Keep the radio open during the mission, not for chatting."
"..."
Several people immediately shut up. It was indeed not the time to chat.
Soap shrugged, not taking it seriously.
This strategic sniper is here to solve the problem in minutes.
At this time, the members of Task Force 141 saw a Super 63 Black Hawk helicopter being hit on the tail propeller, spinning and crashing into a residential area.
That location was not far from Soap and Toyard, and was within the sniper range.
"Captain Qian, when will we take action?" asked Soap.
"Driver, you saw two Delta Force soldiers going over there. Keep an eye on them and don't let them die. Try to delay until the Rangers' support arrives." Captain Qian Price ordered.
"understand!"
Soap smiled and said, "I'm good at this, I'm a trouble stirrer."
"The others are ready to fire in bursts. Our main target is whoever is the more difficult to deal with, so as to bring the battle to a stalemate."
"receive."
The eyes of the members of Task Force 141 were shining; they had been waiting impatiently.
The Aidid government forces and Sam's special forces were already engaged in a fierce battle, turning the situation into a mess.
The following battle was even more brutal!
People kept dying on both sides, but they were either Sam Ranger machine gunners or Aidid soldiers carrying RPGs.
Or, he could be the operator of an armed pickup truck or an armed Hummer.
Including the armed helicopters providing air support from the SAM country overhead, any SAM soldier who got close to the multi-barrel machine gun would surely die.
Anyway, as long as one side is in a suppressed position, the other side will suffer casualties.
The number of Black Hawk Downs supported by air is also increasing!
The two sides fought back and forth.
The battle has been stuck in a stalemate.
The number of casualties in the Battle of Mogadishu has exceeded the historical records of both sides.
Unarmed Somali civilians ran in droves to SAM's special forces to act as shields for government troops and militias.
Somali gunmen took advantage of the crowd to shoot at SAM Rangers and Delta Force.
One gunman even used three women as cover, lying on the ground and firing at the Sam army from under the women's crotches.
At this point, the entire Mogadishu had become a living hell for the special forces.
There were roadblocks everywhere on the streets. Although the Sam Army had helicopters to guide them, they often got lost on familiar streets.
The Somali soldiers were firing wildly at the road from both sides of the street.
Due to obstructions and roadblocks everywhere, the convoy was like a fire-breathing monster, attacking and rushing forward all the way.
AH-6 helicopters provided air cover, but did not dare to fly too low.
The Rangers and Delta Force sent by Sam only had a total of 160 people, and the small force could not withstand the consumption.
On Aidid's side, the number of government soldiers and militiamen reached at least 2000.
This does not include the civilians in Mogadishu who participated in the fighting, and the number is definitely more than that.
It is possible to reach tens of thousands!
The civilians in Mogadishu have now been brainwashed by Aidid and hate the Western invaders to their core.
Children and women all picked up AK47s.
A bullet fired from a child's gun is just as deadly as a bullet fired from a 40-year-old man's gun, perhaps more deadly.
Not to mention that there is a third party, Task Force 141, that is secretly causing trouble and obstructing the process.
The remaining strength of Sam's Special Forces is close to one hundred.
The air support attack helicopters no longer dared to fly at low altitudes, and they had already lost four Black Hawks.
Received the news.
Aidid in the Presidential Palace was even more excited!
If the Soviet Union, which they defeated ten years ago, were to defeat the U.S. army again.
The world's most powerful superpower will all be defeated by oneself.
This guy can brag about this for the rest of his life.
Look, my grandson.
Your grandfather once stepped on the Soviet Union, punched Sam, and was invincible in the world.
……
Sam Military Base, Joint Command Center.
The mission was filmed at high altitude using a high-magnification camera from a Navy P-1 reconnaissance aircraft.
Three OH-58D helicopters use infrared cameras to transmit the situation at the mission site back to the command center on the ground in real time.
Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe is the supreme commander of Operation Irene.
He looked at the images transmitted back from the surveillance screen, frowning and looking extremely serious.
The severity of the operation has exceeded the maximum casualties estimated at the time of analysis.
Four Black Hawk helicopters crashed. The crew of one has been rescued, and two Delta Force special forces soldiers are struggling to defend the other one on the spot.
The situation for the remaining two Black Hawk crews was extremely grim. In the real-time footage, thousands of Somalis were pouring in from all directions.
A Little Bird was hit by a shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile by Aidid government soldiers while conducting fire suppression and disintegrated in the air on the spot.
Since the YN and CX wars.
This was the overseas war with the heaviest casualties for their country, the United States.
The current situation is beyond our expectations.
"Jonathan, we can't wait any longer. If we continue like this, all the troops we send out will be wiped out."
"We need to immediately dispatch the 10th Mountain Division to join the battle. The Aidid government has already declared war on us Sam!" Major General Harel said with an extremely serious expression.
His scalp was tingling now, and he thought of the worst possible outcome.
After Irene's action,
The two highest commanders of the operation are to blame and will definitely be punished to the end.
If things go wrong, you might even end up in a military court.
In order to calm the pressure of public opinion at home and abroad, those people will do anything.
They are good scapegoats and sacrificial tools.
"Ugh…"
Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe rubbed his brows and sighed weakly.
screwed up!
"Prepare to let..."
Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe was about to speak when suddenly a sharp whistling sound was heard!
next second.
Rumbling--
The joint command center seemed to have been hit by a sudden artillery bombardment, and a violent explosion occurred for a moment!
Flames rushed towards them, and some soldiers were blown away.
Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe had no time to speak. Without saying a word, he pulled over a table and fell to the ground.
Major General Harrell, who was faster than him, had already slipped behind the huge safe where the confidential documents were kept.
Fortunately, only half of the command post was blown up.
Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe and Major General Harrell happened to be on the other side of the line, safe and sound.
It's just that I was affected by the explosion just now.
However, the whistling sound of artillery shells outside did not stop.
The entire military base was suddenly bombarded and fell into chaos.
"Wang Defa, what's going on?"
Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe was furious that the base was bombed.
Chapter 156 May God be with you
"General, Aidid's heavy troops are attacking our base. They have not only tanks but also howitzers."
"It was their howitzers that bombarded the base!"
A major ran in, looking dusty and reporting to Generals Jonathan Howe and Harrell.
"Immediately notify the 10th Mountain Division to dispatch and defeat Aidid's heavy armored forces!"
"Also notify the UN peacekeeping force to provide support. Also notify the Djibouti military base to send AC-130 gunships and F-16 fighter jets to provide air support." Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe gave the order with a gloomy expression.
It is not enough to have only three companies of the 10th Mountain Division in the base. Air support must be obtained to destroy the howitzer positions.
Only the three companies of the 10th Mountain Division can destroy the tanks in front more quickly.
Little did they know that now they are all Aidid tank troops, basically all of them are T72 and T62 tanks.
