Logically speaking, it wouldn't matter if they didn't buy it, since the government forces' territory and the Christian militia's territory are right next to each other.
When Seleka was about to conquer the entire country, these people helped the government forces fight them.
Later, the transitional government asked them to disband, but they thought, "I have guns and soldiers, I don't care about you," and refused to disband, instead forming an anti-Baraka armed group.
They are now attacking not only government troops, but also blue helmet troops, making them even more extreme than I, who believe in pearls.
With these people helping to draw hatred away from the Popular Front, Ernest naturally saved the money he would have spent on missiles, since he wasn't on the front lines of the conflict anyway.
However, the concentrated fire defense did the opposite, immediately raising their priority to be attacked to the highest level.
It's too late to buy weapons and equipment now. Even if you get them, not many people will be able to handle them. So, running away as fast as you can is the best option.
Having reaffirmed his resolve, Ernest found a backpack, stuffed it with five stacks of packaged Franklin money bricks, totaling one million dollars, plus half of the gold bricks, then zipped it up and closed the cabinet door.
"Take this money and go to Zha De with my son to find..."
This was something Ernest's confidants and son didn't know: these armed groups were more sensitive to noisy, low-flying helicopters.
"Tasmanian devil, look! Something's happened!"
It doesn't matter if the leader is among the remaining people, because after suffering such a blow, it will be very difficult for them to make a comeback.
However, while the concentrated fire defense was waiting for dawn, Ernest tossed and turned, unable to sleep, on the territory of the People's Front for the Revival.
“Calling the leader, an armed convoy has entered our defense zone.”
Once everything is ready, he will lead the remaining main force to retreat without anyone noticing, leaving behind a rabble of less than 1,000 men.
"It really is; it's heading north, coming towards us."
"There were five heavy trucks, each with two trailers towed behind the cab. Damn it, there were also blue-helmeted vehicles following behind their convoy."
This type of frontline reconnaissance drone does not have satellite relay and can only operate within a 200-kilometer radius of the control vehicle, but its rail-launched catapult takeoff and parachute recovery are more suitable for field deployment.
Dealing with 14 scattered armed groups would certainly be a much greater undertaking than dealing with four larger armed groups with similar numbers of personnel.
Xia Yu began to introduce.
The three-aircraft formation of the concentrated fire defense team, which did not avoid flying over densely populated areas, was detected immediately by the People's Front for the Restoration, but the reconnaissance and strike drone was completely ignored by the other side.
Therefore, the intensity of the strikes against different targets by the concentrated fire defense deployment is not the same.
He quickly summoned his trusted subordinates, handed over the money to the other party, and gave them instructions.
The two people on duty performed their respective tasks, and the eagles high in the sky successfully caught up with the tail of the convoy.
"That's possible. There are quite a few armed groups in Zha'de, but while their government forces can suppress these people, they can't stop them from extending their reach outwards."
What a clever escape! As long as the old core members are preserved, and with the hard-earned cash and diamonds, the People's Front can make a comeback.
They either go into hiding or are absorbed by other large, half-dead armed groups, and the number that can eventually regain their strength will be greatly reduced.
“The other party changed direction less than 200 kilometers away from us and headed straight for Zha De.”
Enes has decided that the advance force will leave tomorrow, and Xia Yu has also arranged for the roaring eagles to take off for reconnaissance tomorrow, and it will be the all-weather kind.
With a force of over 1,000 men, Hans couldn't believe that the enemy was planning to run away before even engaging in battle.
"How many vehicles does the other side have? What weapons do they have?"
But Xia didn't want to see these ambitious people make a comeback, or rather, he wanted to control their numbers.
"Yes, boss!"
If the eagle had flown with its missiles, it could have easily taken down the entire convoy. But since it was a night raid, why not just wait for them to come to us?
Xia Yu and his friends all thought so, but things changed a little over an hour later.
It looks very lucrative; the core of their operation is to seize spoils of war, which means paralyzing their command center, since wealth tends to accumulate upwards.
"Contact the boss immediately, and I'll have the crew follow them."
Sure enough, as evening approached, a convoy of eight vehicles drove out of the area that the crew was focusing on observing.
"Let the Roaring Eagle keep an eye on them. Our Sparrowhawk A will arrive tomorrow morning and will be able to replace them."
Assault soldier Lao Si pointed at the screen and said to gunner Xiao Gao of the saddle-weasel crew.
Living in such a vast, arid and barren land as Zha De, how could the other party not be envious of the lush grass and abundant water, suitable for grazing and breeding?
The Sparrowhawk A-Fire Defense, having undergone a mid-term upgrade, will continue to operate.
The new boss, Lao Liu, reported to him.
Xia Yu made slight upgrades to the optoelectronics and battery life, which can complement Busa's CH-4, especially in situations requiring relay reconnaissance.
The images captured by the photoelectric head are simultaneously transmitted to the mine and displayed on the conference room screen at the temporary fire defense base.
When Ernest went to Zhad to lay low, he also arranged for his 15-year-old eldest son to join the advance team, which consisted of 50 people in 8 vehicles.
The enemy was to the north, but the staff at Jihuo Defense were more inclined to think of them as a threat, assuming they were planning a night raid. Little did they know they were just trying to escape.
After a commotion, his subordinate's voice came through the walkie-talkie, and he scrambled to his feet.
"I've memorized everything. You'll set off tomorrow."
"Zha De is preparing to go and call for reinforcements."
For small, weak, and poor people with little to no resources, the righteous liberation movement, for example, would deploy armored vehicles to directly overwhelm them and annihilate at least 90% of their personnel.
The subordinate said angrily.
Actually, it doesn't matter if they don't come along. Old Ke is actually hoping that someone will come out and entertain them on this long journey.
However, the convoy only managed to destroy one of the enemy's pickup trucks in the area controlled by the anti-Barakah militants; the Ba'ath People's Front clearly didn't have the guts to do so.
What's on the trailer?
Ernest's heart sank, but he still asked calmly.
"It's covered by a cloth so you can't see clearly, but judging from the outline, it should be a tank."
They're going to die. One tank wasn't enough, so another one came.
Who gave the other side the illusion that the People's Front for the Awakening needed tanks to deal with them? They don't even have a single anti-tank missile.
All I can say is that tanks are safe, especially those protected by self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and immune to drone damage.
However, the coaxial machine gun and remote weapon station were still a bit inefficient in terms of firepower, and the main weapons were still the Lynx and the Weasel.
"Don't attack them. Wait until they attack, then you can lead the tribe's warriors to secretly retreat."
Ernest gave the order to his men.
His old guard of over 100 men had been scattered and planted among this rabble, and could only be withdrawn at the last moment.
"Yes, Chief!"
The subordinate responded.
If you give those people a taste of pleasure, they will become brave, tenacious, and fearless of death, thus delaying the enemy.
As long as the chieftain can successfully retreat to Zha De, he is confident that he can lead the tribe's veterans to break out with minimal losses.
Having confidence is a good thing, but to catch the thief, you must first catch the king!
The primary target of the concentrated fire defense offensive against the People's Front for the Restoration has never been those eight or nine hundred men.
"They haven't made a move yet. This convoy doesn't seem to be going to get reinforcements; it looks more like they're seeking refuge."
Looking at the footage transmitted back by Sparrowhawk A on the screen, Xia Yu addressed all the employees.
The convoy eventually stopped in a village on the border of Tsagaing and settled there.
"Without drones, we wouldn't have been able to locate this place. Once we've dealt with the People's Front for the Restoration, I'll work with the glider and the shrew to launch an air strike and airborne operation against this village."
The mine is less than 150 kilometers away, so a night raid by helicopter is feasible. After all, the village's armed militants, plus the 50 who just arrived, only number around 200.
As for why they wanted to strike at this stronghold, one reason was to eradicate evil completely, and another was that the potential spoils of war would be enough for them to pull off a heist.
The government forces promised mining operations, but not only did they not see any money coming in the short term, Xia Yu also had to invest money into them. These spoils of war became the only cash income for this deployment.
Hopefully, his share will cover the investment in the mine construction.
"So, boss, when do we make our move?"
"Tomorrow, the official operation will begin. After the fruit bats launch an air strike on the designated targets, the convoy and helicopters will enter the site."
When fighting Ace in the Middle East, you can never be too cautious.
In Afica, against a small armed force of a thousand or so men, the current size of the concentrated fire defenses means there's no need for so many tactics.
Not to mention they'll be using a new car this time.
"The handling is similar to the Marder S30, but the coaxial machine gun is quite interesting. The magazine capacity is still 2,500 rounds, but the three barrels can output more sustained firepower."
When Xia Yu asked Kuhn how familiar he was with the KF-31, this was his answer.
"I also like this new machine gun; it provides stronger firepower suppression when the main gun is changing ammunition belts."
Overheating of the MG3 barrel during prolonged firing was a recurring problem from the MG42 era. For infantry use, replacing the barrel is simple, but when used as a coaxial machine gun, the idea of replacing the barrel should be abandoned as soon as possible.
Intermittent firing of the coaxial machine gun and main cannon is the correct way to operate German infantry fighting vehicles.
Now that we have RMG, even if we can't replace the tube after each shot like with a Gatling gun, we can still replace the tube after heating one up, which is three times the fun!
"The KF-41 has more space than the KF-31, and can carry two more boxes of ammunition (1250 rounds per box)."
While saying this, Xia Yu was also planning in his heart that if the RMG worked well, he would replace the coaxial machine guns of the Weasel S30 and T-64B1M.
In the past, the company had fewer vehicles, so it didn't matter what kind of ammunition was used. But now that there are more vehicles, it's time to phase out the PKTs on the T-64B1M.
The 7.62x54mm caliber is rarely used on tanks back home anymore, probably because the stockpile is almost depleted!
Replace the MG3 and PKT with RMG, all using 7.62x51mm caliber, while retaining the Leclerc's exclusive 12.7x99mm coaxial machine gun.
But to be honest, the Japanese are really rebellious. The calibers of the high-pressure machine gun and the coaxial machine gun are reversed, and the cockpit and gunner's compartment of the attack helicopter are also reversed.
"Everyone pay attention! During the operation, the front and rear vehicles should point their cameras at the mole vehicle crew. We can't let the sponsors' money go to waste!"
"Yes, boss!"
Everyone responded in unison, and then burst into laughter.
Thanks to Rheinmetall's generous sponsorship, their company was able to use a luxury item in the infantry fighting vehicle industry, and it was practically brand new.
Another model, to be released in two months, is a high-spec version that hasn't even been officially launched yet.
After the meeting ended, everyone went about their own business until the next morning.
At the Jiban Airport after the withdrawal of the White Hat Bombing Squadron, the hangars where the White Hat Bombing Squadron once stood were now being slid out by F-4K fighters under heavy fire.
Like the Super Étendard and Mirage F1s that were shot down, it had its belly loaded with bombs, the only difference being that these munitions were equipped with guidance heads.
Before Alvin took off, the Howling Eagle, carrying two AR-1 and two FT-5 rockets, had already arrived in the target airspace.
Long endurance is remarkable; a drone with live ammunition can stay airborne for more than ten hours, unlike a fighter jet that has to be withdrawn once its pylons are emptied.
However, since this was a solo operation, it took the old man quite a bit of effort to fire all 12 GBU-12s.
But isn't the meaning of life to bomb? He'll fly healthily until he's 60, and then switch to flying old propeller planes in museums.
Now let him enjoy the thrill of fighting evil.
"boom"
The first laser-guided bomb struck a factory in the town, and the explosion and smoke instantly engulfed the repair shop that housed the People's Front pickup trucks.
A few kilometers from the blast site, Ernest's legs went weak and he almost lost his balance.
These aren't artillery shells, they're aerial bombs! The other side actually has fighter jets!
It's not unusual for armed groups of thousands to deploy fighter jets. When Chinese people fight against extremist groups of thirty to fifty people, they use artillery, fighter jets, infantry fighting vehicles, and attack helicopters all at once.
If they rush into the field without blowing up two or three hundred of your people, the pressure on ground forces and army aviation will be immense.
"Boom boom"
The deafening explosions continued, and Ernest knew he was doomed.
His previous preparations have become a joke; they targeted his old guard and launched a massive bombing raid. He probably won't escape being sent to the sky by a single aerial bomb...
The explosion stopped abruptly, rekindling Ernest's will to survive after he had lost all hope.
He strode quickly to the safe in the room. He could take a million or two dollars at most, but the important thing was the bag of rough black diamonds.
"Knock knock knock"
The sudden roar of machine guns interrupted Ernest's thoughts. His hand, which was spinning the cipher disc, paused abruptly, then spun even faster.
"Knock knock knock"
Following closely behind the Leclerc UAE, the KF-31 Lynx was unleashing shells at the militants within its field of vision.
"Wolverine, try the machine gun!"
Seeing that more than 50 programmable airburst bombs had been destroyed, Kuhn shouted to Kohler.
"Yes, commander!"
"Put-put-put"
Kohler turned the muzzle, and the RMG coaxial machine gun, with its muzzle rotating in sync, began to roar.
Countless 7.62x51mm bullets were fired at the corner where an RPG shooter squad had disappeared.
This scene is easily missed when observing the battlefield with a traditional gunner's panoramic sight due to the limited field of view; however, the image transmitted back by the electro-optical sight is very clear.
Kohler immediately noticed the three high-risk targets. He initially intended to fire two programmed rounds to see if they were hiding behind a corner, but since the commander had given the order, he decided to use the RMG.
