Rebirth of Fortune Soars

Chapter 2248 What’s there to worry about?

"Rebirth with soaring wealth ()"!

Qin Feng and his party were hunting in a mighty and mighty manner, and their formation was extremely loose.

Basically, no one thought that anyone would dare to attack them.

Such a short-sighted attack on them.

Who dares to come!

There is a battalion of regular troops here.

A battalion of regular troops and the surrounding warlords must mobilize at least the strength of an army.

They may not even be able to eat it.

This is no joke.

In "Black Hawk Project", although the US combat plan failed. But in fact, in terms of results, the United States won. But from an overall perspective, the U.S. operation failed to achieve its goal.

Its background also stems from the African civil war.

Originally, the Federal Republic of Somalia was located on the Somali Peninsula, the easternmost part of the African continent, with the longest coastline in Africa. Since the fall of the Siad regime in 1991, Somalia has been an anarchic state of armed warlords and a divided country. Somaliland in northwestern Somalia, Puntland in central Somalia and Southwestern Somalia, which tend to be unified, are essentially independent. Somalia is the only sea route for cargo ships from all countries to enter and exit the Suez Canal. Due to the ongoing civil war in Somalia, the education and social systems have collapsed for many years. The local people have been piracy since the 20th century. Pirates extort merchant ships from various countries every year, and the amount is hard to estimate.

As we all know, in the era of warlord rule, it was difficult to implement humanitarianism in Somalia. Every household holds an AK. In Somalia you can live without a mobile phone or a TV, but you cannot live without a gun. Shootings and killings of people on the street happen from time to time, and even when you are sleeping, you can hear gunshots outside.

Therefore, in 1992, the United Nations decided to send peacekeeping troops to Somalia, mainly to supervise the ceasefire of various tribes and provide limited humanitarian aid to the residents of Somalia. Due to the continuous expansion of warlord power. All the humanitarian supplies that the residents received were snatched away by the warlord's men. At the beginning of the movie "Black Hawk Down", a scene was filmed of warlords robbing supplies provided by the United Nations.

As the situation in Somalia continues to deteriorate, the United Nations has successively sent some additional personnel to Somalia. The purpose of the peacekeeping forces in Somalia has also been upgraded from the initial monitoring of ceasefire to using "all necessary means" to establish a safe environment for humanitarian relief operations in Somalia.

However, Somalia's most powerful warlord, Farah Aidid, believes that the peacekeeping force is an obstacle to the expansion of his power.

So he ambushed Pakistani troops, killing 24 Pakistani soldiers. After Aidid ambushed the Pakistani troops, the United Nations authorized peacekeeping forces to capture those behind the scenes at any cost.

On October 2, 1993, the US military received reliable intelligence. Aidid will hold a meeting at a hotel in Mogadishu. So the US military immediately organized a capture plan. First, eight Black Hawk helicopters were prepared to drop the troops next to the hotel, then the armored troops drove into Mogadishu, and finally the captors and prisoners retreated in trucks. In order to avoid intensifying conflicts with local residents, the US military chose not to open fire at the beginning of the operation.

At 3:32 pm on October 3, 1993, the attack began. AH-6 "Little Bird" and MH-60K "Black Hawk" helicopters quickly took off from a temporary airport near the coast, and the ground escort convoy also drove out of the barracks. The two "Little Bird" helicopters that set off first landed on the narrow street on the south side of the target building. The first group of "Delta" team members jumped out of the helicopter, threw several smoke bombs into the yard where the building was located, and then knocked open an iron door. The door bursts into the courtyard. Before the Aidid elements meeting inside could react, the "Delta" team members rushed into the room from the stairs at the back of the building and took control of the situation. Then, they rushed the 24 captured Somali prisoners to the first floor and handcuffed their wrists together in preparation for evacuation.

As a result, what is called people's war is happening in Somalia at this moment.

Aidid's troops used loudspeakers to broadcast to the Somalis: "Come out and fight for your homeland!" Thousands of Somalis came from all directions and besieged the American soldiers.

At this time, the escort convoy commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Danny McNitt had arrived at the target building on time. Because a "Ranger" named Blackburn was seriously injured when he slipped from the helicopter, McNitt decided that Sergeant Stryker would command three "Hummer" vehicles to first transport Blackburn back to the base, and then use The remaining nine Humvees and trucks ferried the Somali prisoners out of the city along with Delta members and Rangers.

Stryker was only 24 years old and a veteran of the Gulf War and Panama. He has carried out many UN humanitarian supply missions and is familiar with the streets of Mogadishu. He used a "Hummer" vehicle to escort Blackburn back to the camp, and was surrounded by Aidid militants along the way. Eventually, Stryker got Blackburn safely back to camp, but his gunner, Pyrrha, was shot and killed.

By this time, the 160 "Delta" members and "Rangers" on the mission in the United States had been surrounded by Aidid's people's forces.

The entire city was mobilized and tens of thousands of people surrounded them.

This is very scary.

After half a day of brutal fighting, 19 US troops were killed, 1 was captured, and more than 70 were injured. Two helicopters were shot down, 3 were damaged, and several trucks and Humvees were destroyed.

Somali statistics show that 320 people died and more than 840 were injured. Of course, this statistic is not detailed enough and the number may be even higher.

Afterwards, the United States came under unanimous global criticism. leading to the withdrawal of U.S. troops.

But in terms of results, 160 US troops were able to kill several times their own enemy troops when faced with attacks from the entire city of Mogadishu, which illustrates the power of the regular army.

Moreover, the United States simply does not dare to use large and heavy weapons.

On the contrary, their private army does not have so many scruples.

If the warlords around them really dare to cause trouble for them, they won't have as many scruples as the American soldiers.

Don't forget, there are hundreds of "Javelin missiles" suitable for street fighting in the military camp, as well as more than a dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles secretly transported by Raytheon Company.

After all, it was produced by oneself. Although it was said to be contraband, it was still obtained.

In addition, there are dozens of modified "Sparrow" missiles that can be used for surface-to-air use, specifically designed to fight aircraft.

It can be said that this base is armed to the teeth.

If the surrounding warlords dare to cause trouble, they will be destroyed.

Wiped off the map.

So, nothing to worry about. Absolutely not!

At this moment, the three surrounding warlords were gathering together for a secret meeting.
