"Combat personnel enter in groups!"
"yes!"
Four digital teams, along with two village protection platoons, entered the outer perimeter of the target village.
Unlike before, this time they brought four "shields".
Before the CQB cleaned each building, the team's versatile members pressed them against the walls, and soon all the soft targets with biological reactions inside the building were displayed on the screen.
Yes, the combat employees are equipped with the legendary wall-penetrating radar, a powerful weapon in close-quarters combat in CQB.
In movies, this thing can even display the movements of targets behind walls, but in reality, it can only determine the number of people, and it's ridiculously expensive.
Fortunately, after similar products were launched in China, the price was finally driven down.
Xia Yu purchased a batch of supplies before the black swan event, but it took a whole year for them to arrive before they were actually used in real combat.
"Three major goals, two minor goals, and five objectives."
"Enter!"
"Bang bang"
"Da da da"
The members of Group 3 entered the house in formation. The first assault soldier took down a target with two shots, and the second militant immediately opened fire with his red AK.
The first two shots of a burst of 7.62x39mm standard rounds hit the assault soldier's heavy body armor, but the second gunner immediately followed up with a shot, and the guy fell down instantly.
The two men then turned their guns on the woman inside the house who was holding two children.
In games, it's common for female targets to disguise themselves as hostages and then kill others after being rescued; in reality, it's even more prevalent, especially among extremist organizations that bring their families along to wage jihad.
So the two men kept a close eye on the woman's and child's hands to prevent them from hiding grenades or homemade explosives.
The good news is that this woman was a bride kidnapped by one of the militants, who forced her to give birth to two children.
Her yearning for freedom prevented her from being brainwashed by the tactic of the Champa youth team, but other groups had already killed two jihadist brides who had married into their husbands' families.
Even if this merit is lost, he can still firmly hold the position of the head of the "Three Palaces and Six Courts" and the seventy-two concubines, but the children they abandoned will become orphans.
Two hours later, the ground forces of Jihuo Defense captured the entire stronghold.
They didn't deploy armed helicopters this time, otherwise, the S-8B and S-8BM penetrating missiles, as well as the S-8D and S-8DM thermobaric missiles, would have been good solutions against the semi-underground fortifications built by the government forces to defend against al-Shabaab.
However, the company's helicopter units are the main force in the second phase of operations. Besides not needing to fight the entire battle, it also serves to lull the target into a false sense of security.
Only if the Zhomali Youth Team believes that armored forces are the absolute trump card for concentrated fire defense will they feel comfortable withdrawing to the mountains, thinking that they can use the natural barrier to stop the enemy.
It's a real shame that these guys don't realize that every single one of the company's many departments is a top-tier unit, and the outcome doesn't really matter which department they face.
When Abdi received the news, it was already the next day. He knew his forward outpost would be lost, but he didn't expect it to be lost so quickly and so completely.
Surprisingly, not a single person was able to evacuate; the concentrated fire defense team had identified everyone.
“Marim, this can’t go on any longer. You need to act quickly.”
He contacted his subordinates and urged them to hurry.
Abdi is already working on the evacuation, but it will take time.
If Malim successfully cripples the concentrated fire defenses, they can buy enough time to complete their withdrawal and retreat.
"Yes, Chief, I plan to concentrate all the multiple rocket launchers to launch a night attack on them tomorrow night."
Xiao Ma answered over the phone.
In addition, he would send suicide trucks to storm into the enemy camp after the shelling to expand the gains and take out their troublesome tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.
"Boko Haram also used rocket artillery tactics, but they were discovered by this company, and you must be careful about that."
Abdi reminded the other party.
Over the years, he has been keeping an eye on news about Jihuo Defense. Outside of Afica, due to limited channels, he doesn't know much, but those in Afica know all too well.
"Chief, I will be on guard against their drones, don't worry!"
Marim hadn't received much formal education, but he understood principles like feinting to the east while attacking in the west—by creating openings for the opponent, he could conceal his true killing move.
For the operation to succeed, he was willing to sacrifice three 82mm mortars of the Ayman Brigade.
No, it should be 6 doors.
No matter how good the drone's performance is, it can't see what's on the ground in the dark, whether it's a real mortar or a fake mortar disguised as a stainless steel pipe.
With three real and three fake mortars mixed together, the enemy would never dare to gamble; they would have to concentrate their firepower to counterattack all six mortar positions in the entire mortar emplacement.
He would then take this opportunity to personally lead a team to launch a fatal attack on the camp defended by concentrated fire from another direction.
As expected of someone who has taught the Americans a lesson, he has learned to fight with his brain, making him a top-tier player in the entire Afica server. He has also fully utilized the fearlessness of extremist group members.
If the government forces were to come, they wouldn't have the same awareness. Given the combat effectiveness and vigilance of Jihuo Defense, none of these six artillery squads (three real and three fake) would likely survive.
But if he succeeds on his end, he can severely damage this company and send them slinking back to their homeland.
The loss of dozens of lives is entirely worthwhile; it's far better than losing a stronghold and suffering the loss of dozens or even hundreds of lives.
The next day, they captured another stronghold. Xia Yu, who was returning to the outpost camp with the main force, was somewhat uneasy.
The Zhmali youth team's weaponry and military skills were inferior to those of the Azawad Coordination Organization, but judging from the major crimes they committed, these guys were more cunning and fearless than the Tuareg people.
He had therefore spent many years preparing and improving the mountain warfare capabilities of Jihuo Defense, all in order to drive them into the mountains and annihilate them.
But will the other party obediently follow the route I've planned?
They will go in the general direction, but they will definitely resist during the process.
The fact that there's no movement right now means they're still brewing something. The other side wouldn't remain indifferent after losing thousands of men.
"Night raids, in the past we were the ones who concentrated our firepower to attack others at night, but now it's our turn to be attacked at night."
At the afternoon's debriefing meeting, Xia Yu spoke first.
"The third patrol plan has been adjusted, increasing the number of Sparrowhawk B aircraft from one to two, and both must be carrying live ammunition."
The patrol plan had already been revised once; he replaced the ScanEagle, which couldn't carry ammunition, with the Sparrowhawk B.
In actual combat, there is no shortage of two anti-tank missiles falling from the sky, but it is necessary to counter them immediately to reduce losses during night patrols.
However, two long spikes were still too few. The appearance of Ah Fuhan's deployment of the Switch Knife-300 inspired Xia Yu.
For every kilogram of additional load a drone carries, it loses a corresponding amount of flight time. A single Spike Irii weighs 12.7 kilograms, so two of them would weigh over 25 kilograms.
If replaced with a Spring Knife-300, which weighs 2.5 kg per unit including the launch tube, that would be 10 rounds.
It doesn't need to be 10 shots; tripling it to 6 is just right.
Reducing the load a bit would add another hour or two to the battery life! But the inaction of the Zerglings worried Xia Yu; he wondered if six shots were too few.
So after the meeting, it became two 12-engine aircraft, with the goal of sending an armored convoy to raid the camp at night, ensuring that the enemy would not return.
Previously, I disliked the Switchblade-300 for being too light, as its effective attack range and lethality were not up to par. However, once it was deployed on an aerial platform, its light weight became an advantage.
As for the short range, by utilizing the redundancy in the Sparrowhawk B's airframe space and integrating fire control into the system, the effective attack range is greater than the combined range of the UAV control range and the loitering munition itself.
In this way, Xia Yu no longer needs to discount and clear out that batch of Switchblades-300. They've been used up in the last two years, so it's time to retire them along with the Sparrowhawk B.
"Commander, the boss is being way too cautious!"
"We'll attack the small outpost tomorrow," the gunner said to the Golden Monkey tank crew, who were on rest after the meeting. He caught up with the tank commander.
Even when not on combat missions, they also work part-time as drone crew members. No one would be unwilling to receive an extra allowance, and more importantly, they can learn something new.
"It's a legend that he could build such a large business from such an unstable venture."
Although older than Xia Yu, the third-generation golden monkey still spoke with admiration.
Soldiers admire the strong, and the veteran sergeant has high standards and doesn't think much of those guys who have served two years of compulsory military service and a lifetime of military service.
After all, the two-year service period is only a way to select professional soldiers and expand the reserve force.
After leaving the team, settling down and returning to being an ordinary citizen deserves a thumbs up, but the problem is when someone becomes restless and impetuous.
For internet entrepreneurs, success is seen as publicity, while failure is seen as smear campaigns. As for those who start businesses abroad, frankly, very few succeed.
Two years is too short a time. It's normal to stumble and fall and lose your life when you've just learned to walk and run.
However, Xia Yu, who came from an armored corps background, is an exception. He started with a tank and fought his way up through battles to achieve his current position at Jihuo Defense.
If this isn't a legend, then what is?
A person like him achieves more by retiring from the military than by staying in it; only the vast Earth can truly showcase his talents.
"You can't go wrong by listening to the boss. He's survived so many years of gunfire without a single injury, and the casualty rate among full-time employees is unbelievably low. There's a reason for all of this."
"Understood, Commander!"
After they finished chatting, the two ran towards the restaurant tent. They also needed to pack a late-night snack after dinner.
Six or seven hours passed quickly, and it was already past midnight.
In a corner downwind of the camp, two Sparrowhawk B generator sets were patrolling in shifts inside two camouflaged containers next to the generator sets.
Each group consists of three people, with only one person needing to control the drone. The photoelectric head will automatically sound an alarm if it detects an abnormal heat source, allowing the two people resting nearby to return to their posts as quickly as possible.
Four hours later, the two crew members of the Golden Monkey crew finished their midnight snack. One took control of the Sparrowhawk B while the other went to take a nap. However, the Golden Monkey crew had only been dozing off for less than half an hour when the alarm suddenly went off.
He and the driver next to him were instantly awakened. The two jumped up from their recliners and rushed to the front of the control panel.
The gunner immediately zoomed in on the image and confirmed that it was not a false alarm.
"Calling the marsupials, this is a golden snub-nosed monkey. We have spotted suspicious individuals in the area directly in front of the camp. You are to immediately patrol the other areas of the camp."
With only one drone in the sky, we must prioritize monitoring suspicious targets and wait for the village protection team's consumer-grade drone to take off before we can free up our hands to patrol other directions.
But Xia Yu dispatched another drone, so this task could be handed over to another crew, who could focus on the immediate objective.
"Reported by the 'Kouchi'. A suspicious convoy has been spotted at the 6 o'clock position around the camp."
Upon hearing the report from the neighboring crew, the gunner realized that his boss hadn't succeeded easily; he had done all the necessary arrangements, thus nipping the danger in the bud.
"Wait, there are still people at the 12 o'clock position. The enemy has split into three groups and wants to attack us."
There are three groups of people
He was completely astonished. When did these black men become so intelligent?
All I can say is that those without brains are dead, and what's left are all gems.
What's going on?
Xia Yu rubbed his eyes and touched the walkie-talkie.
He had arranged everything that needed to be arranged, so he wasn't nervous even if the other party came knocking on his door.
"After patrolling the area, the 'Kouzhi' crew discovered that three groups of people were attacking the camp. Among them, the enemy at the 12 o'clock position was setting up mortar positions. They had a total of 6 mortar teams, and our side was preparing to launch a counterattack."
The golden monkey reported in rapid speech.
"puff"
Before the first mortar of the Chamari Youth Team could be set up, Sparrowhawk B from the direction of the camp gate fired a Switchblade-300.
Under the cover of night, three pairs of wings automatically unfolded on the slender missile body, and under the pilot's control, it flew toward the first target.
"boom"
The warhead, developed from a 60mm mortar shell, exploded upon accurately hitting the target, instantly taking the lives of all members of the mortar crew.
The explosion also engulfed the opened ammunition box, but strangely, the shell did not detonate.
Shells without extended-range explosive charges and fuses are not easy to detonate. Considering the military quality shown by the enemy's three-pronged attack, they shouldn't have resorted to last-minute scrambling!
"puff"
Without much thought, the pilot controlled the Sparrowhawk B to fire the second Switchblade-300.
"Boom!"
The violent explosion lit up the night sky, and the second mortar successfully detonated.
Is there both truth and falsehood?
Realizing this, the driver fired the third Switchblade-300.
"boom"
Marim heard no sound from the multiple rocket launcher positions, which were located more than ten kilometers away from the mortar positions.
But he learned via radio that the enemy's counterattack was fierce.
It just goes to show that Jihuo Defense, the No. 1 private military contractor that has defeated so many jihadist rivals, is no exception. Yet, even they, like the Americans, were completely fooled by him.
"Hurry up, but you also need to aim more accurately."
Marim gave instructions to his men.
This time, he brought the elite artillery of the Ayman Brigade.
"Yes, Commander!"
As the artillery squad members answered, they adjusted the elevation angle of the 20 directional tube launchers on the back of the pickup truck, which had a design somewhat different from that of a conventional 107mm multiple rocket launcher.
There are five of the same multiple rocket launchers, and a single salvo can fire 100 rockets.
Even if only 80% of the rockets landed at the camp, it would still severely damage their concentrated fire defenses, since their tanks and infantry fighting vehicles were all left in the open.
Even if it doesn't hit directly, those expensive devices will definitely be ruined.
