Infantry-tank coordination?

This is extremely abnormal in black states where militia levels are prevalent.

Right in the Delta, the Rangers thought there was another, even more difficult battle.

As a result, they found out that they were there to rescue them.

Looking at the white flag on the armored vehicle and the English translator.

Only then did they realize that the Aidid government had just been overthrown.

Delta and the Rangers looked at each other, but also breathed a sigh of relief.

The battle is finally over.

A few minutes later, the rescue convoy met up with the Delta and Ranger forces holding out in the city.

They were also a little confused. The Aidid government was overthrown?

The force that took over Mogadishu was the Dir tribe, the first warlord from the north.

But now is not the time to worry about these things. The rescue team will take care of the wounded and the bodies.

Pick up the Delta and Ranger forces and immediately withdraw to the military base outside the suburbs.

When everyone returned to the base.

The sky was turning pale, it was already early morning.

After half a day of fierce fighting.

Of the 160 Delta and Ranger troops who carried out the mission, 70 were killed, 1 was captured, and more than 38 were injured.

Six Black Hawk helicopters were shot down, three were damaged, and several trucks and Humvees were destroyed.

This was the most devastating military defeat suffered by the Sam Army since the YN War.

In front of the field hospital.

Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe fell silent as he looked at the Delta and Rangers bandaging their wounds.

He completely underestimated the difficulty of the task.

Before the action, no one expected to engage in battle with the entire city.

Therefore, there was no request for strong air and ground support, except for the Black Hawk helicopters carrying soldiers in the air.

There is no other striking force.

The ground troops were even worse off, with only armored transport vehicles and no tanks to lead the way.

There was also a scheduling error. Although the special forces were trapped in the city, they were all elite troops, and each one could defeat a hundred people.

As long as we concentrate together to defend, we can completely avoid maximum casualties and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

However, due to the successive crashes of six Black Hawk helicopters, the special forces in the city had to establish defense lines at four locations.

The special forces were originally small in number, and now they have to be divided up to fight, which greatly reduces their combat effectiveness.

This mission was an extremely failed one.

He is to blame and will probably not only be demoted to the lowest position, but will also most likely be sent to a military court.

"Jonathan, I've been looking for you for a long time, and now you're here."

Major General Harrell saw Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe standing at the door of the field hospital and rushed over excitedly.

Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe glanced at the men who came over and said dejectedly, "Harrell, we failed, we..."

"Jonathan, we didn't fail, we didn't fail!" Harrell waved his hands and said.

Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe was stunned, his face full of confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"Just now, a chieftain from the Dir tribe overthrew Aidid's interim military government and quickly took control of Mogadishu, clearing out Aidid's cronies and troops."

"Including Aidid himself, he is now on his way to our military base."

"The mission has not failed, it has been completed!"

"what?!"

Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe's eyes widened in surprise.

"Are you sure? Is that person reliable?"

"According to the CIA, Mohammed Siad has been in touch for quite some time and is willing to accept our support."

"Haha, God bless Sam."

Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe laughed heartily, and all the depression in his heart disappeared.

If that were the case, perhaps they wouldn't have to go to court-martial.

At most, he would be demoted and transferred away from the front line to a vacant position in the country.

This result is already very good.

……

Umbrella Company.

On the top floor of the headquarters building, inside the office.

"Boss, the war is over, and everything is going smoothly as you expected."

"The SAM military accepted the surrender of Mohammed Siad, and Aidid was imprisoned in the peacekeeping force base."

Frank, the head of the Quicksand Intelligence Team, stood behind Chu Zihang and said respectfully.

"Well done! Tell Siad to stop being so petty, or the next head won't be his wife."

"I can support him, or I can support another force."

Chu Zihang turned around with a confident smile on his face.

"Yes, boss."

"The next step is to put on a good show and let the Western world provide us with a steady supply of advanced weapons and equipment, as well as funds."

Chu Zihang gently shook the red wine glass in his hand and instructed, "Remember not to reveal any clues. Make the warlord melee in Somali more realistic, otherwise the previous plan will fail."

"Boss, I know what to do."

Frank nodded, but with a hint of doubt, he couldn't help but ask, "But Boss, if we continue to fight like this, will the Western world lose patience?"

"So we also need to let them see hope and taste a little sweetness. As we Chinese say, it's like giving them a slap in the face and then giving them a sweet date." Chu Zihang said with a smile.

"I understand, boss."

Frank's eyes lit up and he looked enlightened.

Isn't this equivalent to a match-fixing in underground boxing?

High, too high!

The Western world would never have imagined that one day they would be the subject of a fake match.

By the time they reacted, the ungrateful person had already grown big and fat.

In the end, it's too late to regret.

Think of this.

Frank has a kind of schadenfreude.

Serves you right, haha!

Chapter 159 Umbrella Corporation becomes the biggest beneficiary

The Battle of Mogadishu ended in a different way.

But the turmoil caused did not stop there.

The "Operation Eileen" led by Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe suffered heavy losses, which made Sam White House furious and at the same time amused and helpless.

This operation can be said to be a failure, but it is not really a failure.

Because they got the results they wanted, even better than they imagined.

It just ended in another way. The Dir tribe, the most powerful force in northern Somalia, which was bribed by the CIA, was willing to establish a Western-style government with the support of the West.

He also stated that as soon as Western-supported weapons and funds arrive, he will immediately send troops to forcefully disarm all factions.

To show his sincerity, Mohammed Siad took Mogadishu and overthrew the Aidid interim military government.

On the first day, they disarmed the armed forces of the Morisan warlords who started out as pirates in the port city of Marka with lightning speed.

This ability makes the Western world very satisfied.

It's a good idea to support such an obedient and powerful tribe to become their puppets!

If he had known this, Sam would have regretted sending troops into Mogadishu to capture Aidid.

It could have been taken without losing a single soldier, yet so many elite Deltas and Rangers were sacrificed.

Moreover, after the Battle of Mogadishu ended, the result of this battle caused a lot of public opinion at home and abroad, and everyone criticized the Sam government for sending troops to Mali.

In order to calm these public opinions.

Lieutenant General Jonathan Howe and Major General Harrell, the leaders of Operation Irene, became scapegoats. Both were removed from their posts and retired from the army early.

At the same time, Mohammed Siad came forward to explain Aidid's crimes and acts against humanity.

In short, Sam's intention of sending troops was justified.

For the sake of justice, and to end the chaotic warlord era in Somalia and establish a peaceful sovereign state.

Sam is thick-skinned and can confuse right and wrong without blushing or feeling nervous.

For the sake of world peace, they Sam are doing justice.

Gradually, it subsided...

The military base in Mogadishu was not closed down.

The United States has expanded its military strength instead of decreasing it.

The strength of the garrison's 3000th Mountain Division was increased from three fully staffed companies to a regiment, totaling people.

The highest-ranking official at the military base was promoted from lieutenant general to general.

Next to the base, a CIA intelligence station was set up.

It was the CIA's Director of Special Operations, Church, who was in charge.

In addition, the military base was expanded.

The original area of 100 acres was expanded to 500 acres, extending directly to the Mogadishu sub-port, expanding it into a supply point for the SAM Navy's Sixth and Fifth Fleets.

The scale of the entire Mogadishu military base is second only to the Djibouti military base.

It became Sam's important military stronghold in the corner of Black Sea, controlling the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, and radiating to Black Sea and the Middle East.

According to the original time and space, Uncle Sam suffered a Waterloo in Somali and withdrew his troops in disgrace with his tail between his legs.

The peacekeeping operation, which lasted 27 months and cost more than $20 billion, ended in failure.

The goal of forming a democratic government in Somali and achieving reconciliation among the tribes was not achieved, but more than 100 peacekeepers and nearly Somalis were killed.

The Battle of Mogadishu made Uncle Sam afraid of ground warfare.

Whether it was the "Desert Fox" operation against Iraq, the Kosovo War, or the Liabili War, Uncle Sam adopted a non-contact combat method - air strikes.

This is also the lesson Uncle Sam learned from this battle.

But in a parallel world.

Uncle Sam did not fail, but instead embarked on a different development trajectory.

That means you were tricked into doing something and became the one being fleeced.

On the surface, they obtained the desired benefits, but in reality...

Someone is secretly sucking your blood and gnawing at your marrow.
