Just as they lifted the cover netting around the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, the RPG flew over.
One shot is enough to kill, giving you no chance to take down three in one go.
The battle was fierce, and the casualties were enormous. In less than half an hour, of the fifty-odd people, only about thirty remained.
That said, there wasn't much difference in skill level between the two sides. This base had over a hundred people stationed there. If it weren't for the sentries holding them off and giving them some time, the chances of them being wiped out would have been very high.
This short reaction time gave them a chance to counterattack, but of course, the base suffered heavy casualties.
When the instructors at the base started calling for support via satellite phone, they found that the satellite phone was useless and had become a brick.
Daylight had broken, and what was originally a two-hour battle had now turned into a tug-of-war and a struggle for control of key points.
One has to admire the mercenary special forces team composed of Da Mao and Er Mao. Their fearless spirit has become their hallmark, and the team is getting fiercer and fiercer in battle.
You can't call them stubborn; they're just desperate. You can't understand the beastly Russians. At this point, who cares about money? They're after a fight to the death.
There were originally more than 30 people left, but now there are only about 20.
The base has been decimated, with only thirty-odd people remaining, huddled in a slightly larger room.
Moreover, this room also has a basement, where the instructors and commanders are located.
Soon after, they raised a white flag and surrendered.
Do you think a cornered bear will easily make you surrender? Apart from the instructor and the eight people who were in charge, the rest were basically worthless and were all wiped out.
You can take all the documents from the basement.
Before leaving, they left some supplies in each house, destroying everything of value. They then boarded their base vehicle and headed to the small runway to await the arrival of the transport plane.
There were fifty people when they came, and 15 people went back.
The losses were extremely severe, but considering the ratio of the number of people at the base, they won, albeit a Pyrrhic victory. The next step is the base in North Africa.
We don't know how many people will need to fill in the forms.
Therefore, Xing Baohua and Zhao Shanhai were very generous with money. It's just money, after all; money is the last thing they lack.
This operation truly dealt a heavy blow to the Firebird.
Because the compensation they have to pay is one or two hundred million US dollars, plus the base equipment is also incredibly expensive.
We need to investigate who did it.
What infuriated the investigators most was that when the other side left, they not only piled all the bodies together, but also poured gasoline on them and cremated them, making it impossible to distinguish between their own people and the enemy.
Not to mention finding relevant vital signs information, and that's not all, there are booby traps in the rooms of the base, which have already taken down several investigators.
The people who can deal with these base personnel are definitely a regular special forces unit of a certain country or a mercenary organization of the same level.
It was finally determined that they were similar mercenary organizations. If they were a regular force in a country, they would not be able to fight against a civilian organization.
Consider their geographical location; there are almost no other special operations teams of this caliber in the vicinity.
The only possible solution is to go to the north and east, or even a few countries in the west, but this would require crossing several countries. How do they coordinate this?
The Firebirds truly lived up to their reputation for having powerful backing; early that morning, radar from neighboring countries showed an An-26 transport plane flying through the area.
The number of people arriving can be determined based on the type of transport aircraft. This transport aircraft can take off and land on concrete and makeshift runways, and has a crew of 5 and can carry 50 paratroopers.
Based on this calculation, the maximum number of troops transported is only 50.
Following the flight path, they confirmed it took off from Ermao. Firebird was puzzled; they hadn't provoked Old Su! How could it be them?
If you find out that a mercenary organization is fighting against a nation, you should run as far away as possible.
For them, wiping out your small organization is as easy as plucking a finger. Look, they had at most fifty people, yet they wiped out over a hundred of yours.
Finally, the analysis of the forces behind the Firebird suggests that perhaps the target isn't the Firebird itself, but rather them—they want to eliminate the minions they've raised first.
Isn't this affecting innocent people?
To alleviate their financial pressure, the Firebirds' backers provided them with some money.
The Fiery Bird doesn't lack life, it lacks money! But if it lacks too much life, it needs a lot of money to make up for it.
They couldn't understand why the Soviet Union wanted to target them, so they temporarily closed the base here and focused their efforts on North Africa.
Polev summarized the shortcomings of this operation: lack of heavy firepower and insufficient manpower.
The next target in North Africa will require a significant amount of heavy firepower and more manpower. Therefore, we need more time for preparation and more detailed intelligence.
Zhao Shanhai was also shocked when he saw the equipment list. Why would they need lumps of iron to fight a civilian mercenary team?
Isn't this ridiculous?
Special operations are being conducted like conventional warfare, requiring heavy machinery and air support. This is no longer a small-scale operation; it's an invasion.
Do you really think Algeria is easy to bully? Don't you know who's backing them?
Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. Besides, there are overseas troops stationed in that part of North Africa. Do you dare to use heavy weapons or air support?
They might dare to use gusts of wind and phantoms to intercept you, which could have all sorts of consequences. It could even drag the entire European continent into the mess, making things uncontrollable.
Although Zhao Shanhai didn't understand combat, he was still capable of thinking strategically and considering the bigger picture. So he told Polev that he could provide him with enough manpower, but not heavy equipment or air support.
We can send people over in advance to gather intelligence, and even transport some supplies there.
