"Echidna and otter will lead the team, cooperating with nnsbs to launch a surface assault. The remaining fennec foxes will be responsible for dropping the gliders behind enemy lines to establish heavy firepower points after the battle begins. The shrews will be in charge of the air escort."
Xia Yu was officially assigned combat missions.
"The quorum crew provides real-time battlefield intelligence support, the mole and wolverine crews provide artillery support at any time, and the panda and mole crews guard the home base."
In this operation, most of the company's technical employees played a supporting role, which is an unfortunate consequence of the rainy season.
As for the Chinook, it can deploy the modified Weasel tanks. The only mobile unit on the island is the motorcycle, which can be blocked with heavy machine guns and automatic grenade launchers. There is no need to use 27mm cannons.
"Yes, boss!"
The crowd responded in unison.
Next, the details of the operation were finalized. Old Ke and himself were assigned a total of 24 people, who would be further divided into 6 heavy firepower points of 3 to 5 people each to block the target's retreat.
The specific locations for these firing positions need to be discussed repeatedly by everyone.
Davis nodded and said.
Pete strongly suspected that Xia Yu had deliberately stacked up buffs. Those extremist organizations didn't care about such things, but these fake white and real black people still had to consider the costs when they resorted to dirty tricks.
"Ahem, the Hornet might not be that appealing; they already bought two F-16s."
After flying back to North America from Europe, Davis flew to Afica again, his errand having gone awry, and he was quite angry.
Not to mention that this is just a naval equipment procurement project, which is unlikely to lead to joint action by multiple departments. Spending money is the most direct and convenient approach.
"Focus Fire Defense may look like a small company, but that's because they have a small core combat staff. If you include second-line combat staff and logistics, it's a medium-sized PMC company with at least 500 people."
Pete suggested.
"If we can use the money, we will; if not, we'll talk about it later. We need to head to Konglujia."
Davis said indignantly.
"These fighter jets are still in the hands of Jihuo Defense; you can simply buy them back!"
Those who work in intelligence are truly different; Pete is extremely knowledgeable about the development of Firepower Defense in recent years.
"That's why we came here, but to ensure the smooth progress of our operation, we want to learn more about this weasel first."
When used in non-carrier environments, these Hornets generally have a longer airframe lifespan.
"Yes, they've sold a lot of weapons over the years, especially those modified weasels, old female deer and old frog feet that have gone through who knows how many hands. The boss of this company is a talent; he took over the market vacated by Tungsten and Kelan."
This thing is indeed a carrier-based aircraft, but it has also been sold to many countries that do not have aircraft carriers, including Spain, Turkey, South Africa, and Switzerland.
Leaving aside the regular army, their country's private military contractors, which focus on providing services to hypothetical enemies, could easily wipe out the air forces of most Afica countries in large numbers.
"This company is very good at selling used equipment to previous clients, after all, the initial trust has been established between them in previous collaborations."
As for the Super Hornet, forget about it. The high price is only one aspect; the key issue is that it's the Navy's current mainstay equipment, which is impossible to sell to a private company.
"And weapons!"
Pete truly admires Mr. Xia, who started with a tank, turned military contracting into a sales showcase, and then used it to support his arms business.
But that's all there is to it; the Air Force can't solve all the problems, and ground intervention is too expensive.
Pete coughed as he reminded him.
After confirming enough information, Davis prepared to formally contact Xia Yu.
If Xia Yu is willing to take it, they can even trade it for an F-18 Hornet.
"They probably want to sell it to Kenniya. Jihuo Defense has provided security for WRC events there, and their Tiger II has been around for quite a few years."
Pete reminded him.
The navy also has a lot of junk, and while internal disposal requires approval, it's definitely not as troublesome as dealing with funding issues.
Aside from some unclear details, the overall picture has been sorted out, and I now understand how Xia Yu built the company into a multi-billion dollar enterprise.
"Furthermore, rather than being a single company, they are more like a diversified business conglomerate with a military background, with subsidiaries in mining and museums accounting for a significant portion of their business."
"He stole our fighter jets. We need this batch of F-5s. Damn capitalists."
At the same time as the fire defense meeting, in the office of the defense attaché of the old magnesium embassy in the Busagun Dam area, Lieutenant Colonel Pete, who has another identity, is giving a tutoring session to Lieutenant Colonel Davis, who has come from afar.
Davis believes that the different positions he's in are actually a good thing.
"It's good news that it's free. It's much easier to deal with some equipment than to have those old men in Congress go through the trouble of approving the budget."
Pete speculated.
"We need to find out clearly that they have a license from the Germans, have bought sea harriers from the British, and have a good relationship with the Russians. Not to mention, the owner himself is Chinese."
These words sound arrogant, but they make perfect sense coming from an old-timer in the US Navy.
"There's another thing to note: this guy isn't short of money. The Army hired Jihuo Defense to rescue Green Bay, and the contract was settled with a Chinook. The French side sent a C-160 to rescue the pilot."
Xia Yu wasn't good at this and didn't want to make a fool of himself by shifting the machine gun position five meters to the left, so he simply kept quiet and listened attentively to his men's analysis based on the intelligence.
"You can't take our fighter jets. I don't know what these Afica countries need fighter jets for. Giving them F-5s in such good condition is a waste."
Davis, who came specifically for this batch of weapons, spoke up.
Even among second-hand phones, the Fighting Falcon offers better value for money.
"They're not in Kongluga, they should be in Niriliya right now. The enemy has hired a concentrated fire defense to attack Boko Holy Land."
Pete provided the Fisher's real-time location information.
Unfortunately, Xia Yu was in Zha De, so Davis just missed his chance once more.
…………
Two days later, when they arrived at Ajab Airport, the Central Fire Defense, in coordination with the NNSBS and the Tsate Army, officially launched an attack on the Boko Sanctuary branch in the Lake District.
It was a foggy morning when two hundred elite soldiers from the Zha'de Army left the camp gate, towing assault boats in pickup trucks.
However, before they even reached the lake, the scouts keeping watch outside the camp relayed the news back to the island.
The senior members of Boko Holy Land, without even wearing clothes, used AKs to kick the newcomers who were still fast asleep on the ground awake.
Branch leader Agbin summoned members stationed on other small islands to return to the headquarters in Juma Atoro village on the main island.
They quickly assembled a force of over 800 men to deal with the attack from the Tsad army.
With 200 against 800, Boko Holy Land does seem to have the advantage, but the 100-plus people who came out of the forward base are the real main force.
Armed speedboats and inflated rubber boats were launched into the water from the lakeside, and the NNSBS team members began to put on life jackets.
With bulletproof vests and life jackets, everyone instantly became bulky, but they couldn't go without them when fighting on water.
Each member of the Jihuo Defense team is equipped with a UDT (Ultra-Driving Trap) float, a self-inflating life-saving device that automatically opens when someone falls into the water, but it is significantly more expensive.
Besides special forces, pilots also wear this around their necks.
However, the overall effect is still not as good as a one-piece escape pod that can be ejected underwater and float on the water surface. Especially in bad sea conditions, even a seal member with a float collar will not escape drowning if he falls into the water.
Lake Zhade was as calm as a bathtub, with large amounts of reeds growing out of the water, their stems swaying in the breeze.
"Buzz"
The roar of more than a dozen outboard motors shattered the morning tranquility. Boco Sanctuary's surface force of only 150 men raised their guns and opened fire upon hearing the commotion in the distance.
"Da da da"
"Put-put-put"
Gunfire erupted, and countless bullets, like thunderclaps and raindrops, hurtled towards the direction of the advancing Tsuna army.
The soldiers on the assault boats also returned fire, and the two sides began to "suppress" each other from a distance of over a thousand meters.
This is how it is on the battlefield in Afica: they open fire before they even see the enemy, making it as lively as Chinese New Year in China.
Heavy equipment was scarce, but ammunition for light weapons was plentiful. Both sides fired tens of thousands of rounds at each other, killing and wounding dozens of people on each side, before calling a retreat to fight again next time.
You said you never knew how the banditry around Lake Afica was ever eradicated, but today is a little different.
"Buzz"
Under the cover of gunfire, a total of eight ships rushed toward the battlefield from the flanks of both sides.
There was still some lingering fog on the water, so the three groups couldn't see each other. However, the Sparrowhawk A, which was patrolling directly overhead, could see them very clearly using the thermal imaging channel.
"Yes, keep driving forward, into the 1.5-kilometer zone, into the 1-kilometer zone..."
Watching the screen, Lao Liu provided real-time updates to Tom and his men until they reached the critical 500-meter distance, at which point he issued a ceasefire order to the Zha De Army.
The density of gunfire instantly decreased by half. Just as some members of the Boko Holy Land were wondering what was going on, someone noticed a fleet of ships attacking from the side.
"Look, there's one over there..."
"Buzz"
The barrel of the CS/LM12 Gatling gun in front of Johnny spun and began to roar under the muzzle flash.
Countless armor-piercing incendiary shells easily penetrated the hull, tumbling and hitting the personnel behind, who fell silently into the river.
He emptied a 1,000-round magazine in a few dozen seconds, the machine gun barrel still spinning in the air, while the HCBT heavy machine gun and HCMG automatic grenade launcher next to him continued firing.
The two MG3s on the F470, as well as the domestically produced FN-Magn general-purpose engines on each armed speedboat, were all firing.
The twenty-odd boats that Boko Sanctuary had deployed on the lake were covered by tens of thousands of bullets in the shortest amount of time, and the 150 people who had no chance to jump into the water were dead.
"rush!"
After joining up with the army's fleet, the group continued their charge toward the shore.
"Splash splash"
At the forward base, a Chinook and a Fennec Flycatcher took off one after the other, while the Deer Tiger, which had set off earlier, had already arrived at the village of Juma Atoro on the island.
"Put-put-put"
Gunshots rang out from the PKM (Police Station). A black man, at least 1.9 meters tall, was wielding a general-purpose machine gun as an anti-aircraft gun, making the armor plating on their fuselage clang loudly.
Look at those muscles, they're practically growing into his brain.
"beep"
Hans, in the front seat, tilted his head slightly forward, locked onto the target, and lightly pressed the fire button, unleashing a short burst of 25 rounds, turning the enemy and the assistant gunner carrying the bullets into sieves.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
"Bang"
Eight rockets rained down on the two 60mm mortar positions, but one shell was still fired before the positions were blown away.
"boom"
The cannonball, flying along a parabola, crashed down from mid-air. Under the influence of tension, the water surface, as hard as a concrete road, directly triggered the impact fuse of the cannonball, causing it to explode into a high column of water, just like the special effects in the old "Journey to the West".
Two people were hit by shrapnel from the rearmost Tsunamis army speedboat.
"call out"
Another RPG was fired. The flames from the rocket, launched at a high angle, were guided backward from the ground by a metal plate welded to the tail nozzle.
"boom"
The rocket, which was less than 100 meters away from the Mi-24V and clearly not yet at its range limit, exploded, scattering hundreds of steel balls in all directions.
this
This is an RPG.
A steel ball struck the bulletproof glass of the gunner's compartment, leaving Xia Yu and Hans on the plane somewhat bewildered.
This is indeed an RPG, but it's a modified anti-aircraft RPG.
Replace the hollow explosive shroud, which is designed for armor penetration, with a steel ball warhead. If you don't have a proximity fuse, shorten the self-destruct fuse time and rely on fragmentation to kill the helicopter.
Unfortunately, portable anti-aircraft missiles are too expensive. Boko Haram can get them, but not in large quantities, so the branch uses modified anti-aircraft RPGs.
If you get close enough, you can easily catch small birds and gazelles that have almost no protection, and even medium-sized aircraft can aim at the tail rotor to shoot.
A few hits to the fragile tail rotor would bring it down, but this damned Mi-24V's rear end was completely undamaged, and it flew high enough that even their best gunners couldn't do anything about it.
However, just as he reloaded and prepared to fire another shot...
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh"
Xia Yu retaliated with four shots, eliminating the elite-level RPG unit.
While he was working with the ground troops who had successfully landed to harvest these Boko Haram members, Chinook and Fennec Fox, who arrived late, flew around to the other side of the island.
"There is no danger, you can rappel down!"
After scanning the area with thermal imaging and confirming that no one was lying in ambush in the tall grass on the island, Lyman reported to Andrei.
"Then let's rappel!"
The tail hatch opened, several ropes were thrown down, and the emplacements hovered in multiple locations to unload cargo and personnel, completing the deployment of the heavy firepower points.
Next, they waited for the fleeing Boko Haram members to walk right into their trap. The CH-47D, having finished its personnel and equipment delivery mission, began its return flight. Lyman, piloting the AS550 with Paul in the ballast, headed to the main battlefield not far away.
Unlike other PMC companies, Firepower's snipers are deployed more on helicopter platforms, which may explain why they are either on a raid or on their way to one.
Fixed sniping positions are too inefficient; you need to be in a vehicle and move around.
"Knock knock knock"
The Rh202 machine gun on the right side of the fennec fox suddenly opened fire.
"Boom boom"
The two armed motorcycles below were directly blasted into fireballs by DM81 high-explosive rounds.
