The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

I don’t know what happened to Lukapa, but UNITA already knew that Shao Limu was attacked by unidentified armed men, the airport was occupied, and the UNITA soldiers stationed at the airport were defeated after launching a counterattack!

In the previous combat plan, if the "joint forces" that raided the Shaorim Airport did not encounter obvious resistance, they would not fully attack the UNITA garrison in Shaorim.

However, since this fight and bullets fly randomly, it is impossible to carefully judge what "obvious resistance" is!

Anyway, it's all UNITA troops, let's talk about it after fighting!

The first batch of contractors who landed on Shao Limu and then took an armed Hummer from the C130 transport plane quickly resolved the resistance of the airport defenders, and then placed the main defensive force on the north side of the airport near the front line of the city.

Unsurprisingly, nearly an hour after the attack was launched, a large number of vehicles and armed personnel appeared in the direction of Shaolimu. UNITA was eager to retake the airport: no hurry, the rainy season is coming. As UNITA’s important town in northeastern Angola, Shaolimuhe The role of its airport is very important!

This airport is the only large-scale airport with a reinforced concrete runway within a radius of 400 kilometers. Once the airport misses, at most one week later, the main UNITA troops in other places will basically be unable to mobilize heavy firepower to support Shao Limu for four months.

In the more than ten years of civil war, the people in the northeastern region have ran away nine times out of ten, let alone the road!

Although Angola was once called the "Brazil of Africa", it was in the 1960s and early 1970s, and it has always been that the western coastal areas are more developed than the eastern inland areas.

After the war for so many years, the original railway system is paralyzed. This will be the only part of the coastal railway that is less than 300 kilometers in the actual control area of ​​the "An People's Movement" government in the western coastal area.

The state of the road is not optimistic. The bridges are basically destroyed, and the roads are basically muddy. In the rainy season, this truck will definitely not run faster than the bullock cart. Many sections of the road will become difficult to move because of the mud!

The conditions in the west are a little better. The roads in the east are scarce and the damage is serious. After the rainy season comes, tanks will not dare to run around.

This is a bit similar to the high-latitude and high-altitude areas in some countries where heavy snow covers the mountains and roads in the winter. You can't go without waiting for the snow and you can only rely on airplanes!

The city of Shaorim is nearly twice the size of Lukapa, but the garrison is four or five times that of Lukapa, with about 2,500 people. Equipped with a small number of mortars, there are a lot of cars, but no tanks.

This is in the strategic depth of UNITA. Most of the tanks they own are on the front line of central and south-central Angola, which is confronting the “Angolan Movement”. The overall number is not large.

At the beginning, the Soviet Union and Cuba were able to give the "Angolan People's Movement" a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, and the "Angolan People's Movement" also represented the Angolan government internationally. The quantity of this heavy equipment was obviously stronger than UNITA.

The United States and South Africa, which support UNITA behind them, can't give them too many heavy weapons. The C130 packaged by the CIA taking off from Zaire alone cannot transport the heavy guys.

Similarly, the Zairian army that supports UNITA did not have too many tanks to support UNITA. This allowed UNITA to adopt the strategy of "surrounding the city from the countryside" in the previous civil war: very interesting, the US-supported faction was used. The tactics commonly used by guerrillas on the Communist side.

Note that the political concept of UNITA and its leaders is resolutely anti-Gong!

Without the airport, within the next four months, Shao Limu’s defenders will have to rely on their own strength to deal with the invading "safe people movement"-until now they think so, when they report to their superiors via radio Said the same.

Then...

They have been fighting for more than ten years. You, the "An Ren Yun" dare to rely on the air force to play the role of raiding the airport. This is the territory of UNITA! The garrison has a regiment and more, who is afraid of whom!

Bringing all the equipment you can bring, almost came out of the nest, more than two thousand soldiers were divided into two groups and smashed to the airport!

Then I got blind!

Accurate mortar shells and grenades exploded around like rain, and anti-tank missiles flying from one or two highways away hit the car like no money.

The two UNITA troops not only had to face the frontal interception, but also had dense grenades and machine guns on both sides and even from behind.

There are large-caliber machine guns that can break people into two pieces, but what scares UNITA soldiers the most is a medium-caliber machine gun that shoots horizontally. The rate of fire is like a waterfall!

It was shot from six or seven hundred meters away. It was not just one or two. It was raining bullets in all directions!

Many Humvees of the "United Forces" were not only equipped with M2 large-caliber machine guns on the roofs, but also suspected that the M2's rate of fire was too slow, so a 7.62 mm Gatling machine gun was added to the top!

The rate of fire of 3000 rounds per minute is so spectacular that it can be used to shoot targets on the grassland!

Not only that, but with the absolute advantage of night combat equipment, the commander of the "joint force" adopted a tactic that he had never used before: hundreds of contractors were divided into teams of five to ten people, and they were installed at a distance. At the position of five to six hundred meters, the Allied troops fired hundreds of "ashmirs" against the two UNITA troops within ten seconds when the shelling began!

The maximum effective range is 600 meters. It is basically impossible to hit a target the size of a tank at this distance, but as a surface killing weapon, it is no problem to hit a target area the size of ten tanks with a curved shot!

Full night vision equipment. After less than an hour, the battle was over. A "joint force" commander in charge of the operation said: "Now I finally know how the U.S. infantry battalion used a Saddam tank The teacher blocked it!"

What kind of battle is this called!

A swarm of bees rushed towards the airport, rushing into the loose fan-shaped defensive circle prepared by their side.

From this side, I can clearly see the other side's every move. Even if it is not raining and visibility is good, those UNITA soldiers can at most vaguely see some buildings on the airport side, without knowing the actual location of their opponent!

Those UNITA mortars did not set up positions at a distance of one or two kilometers. It is possible that they did not have good artillery observers and reliable communication devices, or it was possible that the mortar artillery had to see the target. The confidence hits.

The RPG-7 is equipped with a lot of equipment, but the rockets launched hastily by the Angolans even the "Joint Forces" people don't know where they are flying!

As for the use of rifle guns~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even if the mercenaries of the Tswa tribe on our side do not need night vision equipment, they have long been used by the church to fire at the exposed muzzle flame position of the enemy during night operations. , But those Angolans don’t have this concept at all!

The shooters operating the large night vision scopes on the vehicle all saw that when the battle broke out, some Angolans were shooting with automatic rifles, and there were some Angolans who lay on the ground and hid behind the car and stretched out their guns to "strike"!

Served, really served!

That was an army that had fought a civil war for more than ten years. No wonder the South Africans and Cubans left the civil war here: This is called a war?

Make a hairy!

Perhaps it was often said in the previous African news: "According to reliable sources, beginning at noon yesterday, there was fierce exchange of fire between UNITA and the Angolan armed forces in the central and eastern regions. The two sides used a lot of heavy firepower including tanks, mortars, and rockets. Equipment, at least thousands of people participated in the war.

The fighting was extremely fierce, and the fierce fighting until early this morning had caused at least a dozen deaths and injuries on both sides! "

Well, there are not many such news now. In a few years, similar news will start from the stone throwing in the West Bank of Jordan and will continue to flood in Africa and the Middle East two decades later.

There is fierce fighting everywhere, or fierce fighting everywhere, or fierce fighting everywhere!

A city has been fighting fiercely for three, five or seven months, a year and a half for two or three years, and it hasn't been played yet!

In three days of fierce fighting at two ends, there is often a 250 with a machine gun, shooting at the other end of the street from the corner of the street, hitting two shuttles to hide in the corner, and then his friend carried the RPG-7 to a certain building on the other side of the street. Building is coming!

There was a reporter wearing a helmet and body armor next to the film. After the filming, everyone stopped work and went home for dinner. The "fierce battle" will continue tomorrow!
