Don't talk about martial arts, I'm a war contractor

Chapter 261 is too terrible to behold, as the main force (please subscribe!)

"Actually, it's okay. I hate the humidity and heat of the rainforest more than this high temperature and drought."

Xia Yu took off his sunglasses and said.

The sky is getting dark and the sun is no longer dazzling.

Sunshine during the day and cool at night, just get used to it.

In addition, concentrated fire defense also requires accumulating experience in desert combat, which they have always lacked.

"By the way, where are the people from Golden Oakleaf?"

Xia Yu continued to ask.

The Blackfoot Alliance in Mali is mainly deployed in Mecana, which is closer to Nezir. It is the training base of the army and faces relatively few threats.

Their main force is actually at the base of operations in Nezir. After all, Operation Barkhane Sand Dunes is not only launched in Mari, but also in several countries in the entire Sahel region.

Kidal is located on the Ifras Plateau, and is more like an enclave. Several PMC companies with Western European backgrounds are in the front, and they usually only patrol but not attack.

The Golden Oak Leaf was previously in charge of Oga's side, but now there is a centralized fire defense. The people of the country have increased their efforts because they want to first eliminate the jihadists in the east and the Coordination Organization of the Movement of Azawad.

After all, this is the gateway to the Sahara, and Oga is still very important.

Only by clearing this place and isolating the connection between the other two war zones can they increase their troops towards Kidal.

"Their main force went to an outpost camp 150 kilometers away in the northeast a week ago to eliminate two nearby armed groups with less than a hundred people."

Meunier took the initiative to introduce recent actions.

The main urban area of ​​Aojia is not large, but the entire Aojia District covers 17 square kilometers, which is larger than the Henan Province in China.

With nearly 60 people scattered over such a large area, it was impossible for every attack to start from the main camp outside the airport. The Tao people set up temporary camps of hundreds of people in all directions.

This number is not only enough for self-protection, but also for troops going out to carry out clearance missions, Bakoma government troops, military contractors, and blue helmets maintaining stability, all of which can be supplied nearby.

"Oh? How was the result?"

Jihuo Defense has cooperated with two companies in Pannaca, and Xia Yu's evaluation is that the combat effectiveness of ordinary employees is not as good as that of White Hat.

Maybe it's not suitable for fighting tough battles, so he is very interested in the performance of Golden Oak Leaf in security battles.

"The first group of 50 people killed more than 30 people, and all the rest were arrested. The second group of more than 70 people ran away, and half of them ran away. The number of casualties was about ten, two were slightly injured, two were seriously injured, and the remaining All died in battle."

If the person who died was an active soldier in the Mao Army, even if it didn't make the headlines when it was reported back to China, it would still be major news.

But the casualties are the employees of PMC Company, and Golden Oak Leaf only needs to pay compensation according to the contract.

"They didn't invest much equipment, right?"

"Not many, because these armed groups live with the villagers and cannot dispatch fighter jets, so they only dispatched one Dolphin and four VABs."

The VAB in Monnier's mouth is the four-wheeled armored transport vehicle of the Mao Army. The export model of this vehicle is 6×6, and the Golden Oak Leaf is also picked up from retired domestic scraps.

This kind of armored vehicle can only block 7.62mm full-power bullets and shell fragments, and RPGs are basically worn casually.

It's okay during a sneak attack, but it's terrible when you're ambushed. The rocket launcher still has a certain chance of survival, but an anti-tank missile can easily wipe out an entire vehicle.

In addition, not all of the Maojun vehicles have been retired. After all, the VBMR Griffin used to replace the VAB is still under development, so most of the vehicles deployed in the Sahel region are still this kind of 4×4, combined with a certain number of 8×8VBCI round battle.

And here we can also find that the armored vehicles used by the people in the Crescent Dune Operation seem to be all wheeled?
Indeed, in order to facilitate deployment and logistical maintenance, they don't even have an AMX-10P, let alone a Leclerc.

Focused fire defense is different. Yi Shui'er's tracks are reloaded for the strongest defense.

Golden Oak Leaf can sustain 6 dead and 2 disabled in one operation. The reason is that the employees have limited combat qualities and are worthless. They can cast a wide net to recruit more people.

They can also recruit good players, but not in this way. Generally speaking, you can refer to the white hat, which is reserved for gnawing hard bones.

"Wow~Wow~~"

The sound of a helicopter sounded from a distance. Looking up, I saw a Super Hornet MINI version under the sunset?
It was the AS.332 Super Puma, an 8-ton tactical transport helicopter. Its carrying capacity was only slightly better than that of an idle Hind. Xia Yu had never considered this Kalami at the beginning.

But who makes it cheaper and more productive? The Black Hawk with better performance is more expensive than the Super Hornet. The best choice for these PMC companies with Western European background is the Super Puma.

The Chinese have only deployed 20 helicopters in the entire Sahel region. If their own AS.332s are not enough, they can also use military contractors, and they can just pay by the hour.

"The injured were brought back for treatment yesterday, and the remains should be on top."

Meunier was right, what came down after landing were really body bags.

Killed militants can be buried on the spot, but your own people still have to take them back.

They will freeze in the Oga Camp overnight and wait for the transport plane carrying the fire-defense antelope to arrive tomorrow before being transferred back home.

You can't burn it even if you want to. There are no cremations in MSL countries. Burning it in the open like the third brother is too careless, so it is better to go back to the country.

"It's so tragic. I just came back from the hospital. Of the two seriously injured, one had his calf amputated, and the other's left arm was directly broken by a 12.7mm bullet."

When Xia Yu was about to go back to the barracks to pack his luggage, he met Liv.

"It saves the military doctors trouble. They can directly smooth the bone surface of the stump, seal the nerves, ligate the blood vessels, sew the muscles, and skin grafting is not required."

It's miserable to be missing arms and legs, but it's better than losing your life. This is the most real battlefield, which can only be described as cruel.

"Don't worry, it's just a 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullet. It can't penetrate any of our company's vehicles."

Xia Yu put his arm around Liv's shoulders and signaled her to relax.

As for the combat employees who got off the bus, he believed in their combat qualities.

In addition, the machine guns and tank guns on the vehicles are not just decorations. They will destroy all the target's firepower points before clearing the area.

"Yeah, they can't penetrate my Weasel K1 either."

A heavy armored ambulance is indeed difficult to handle. With the addition of a remote-controlled weapon station, it can perform operations while outputting firepower.

For example, Austria's Pender II armored ambulance has a weapons station on the roof, but the space of the big six-wheeled ambulance is limited, so it can only pull the wounded back for treatment, which is not as good as the rescue-type boxer dog.

Well, he will install one later. Within the effective range of the heavy machine gun, rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles are not allowed to get close.

"Let me clean it up for you, it's such a mess."

Seeing that the room was in a mess, Liv rolled up her sleeves and prepared to help Xia Yu put away her luggage.

It's the same thing if the orderly doesn't have a girlfriend anymore. After fighting for so many years (less than two years), he can finally enjoy it.

Xia Yu came outside and took out his satellite phone to make routine contact with Kuen.

It was confirmed that they had left Genea and entered the territory of Mari with the convoy.

There are still more than 1000 or two hundred kilometers left, so drive slowly. You will reach Oga in about three days.Golden Oak Leaf had just defeated two armed forces. It was a time of great uncertainty and it was not suitable for action again.

During this period of time, Xia Yu just used it to find out Oga's situation. He also had to say hello to the Blue Helmet station, as well as the government troops.

The Mao people may be driven away, and the Blue Helmets Stabilization Group may be asked to withdraw, but the local forces will always be here.

Xia Yu’s business experience is to build good relationships with local forces, even if they temporarily have no money to pay for the project.

The worst thing is mortgage. It is more common to use cars to pay for houses on construction sites, but it is more popular to pay for mines in Afika.

The uranium mine where Jihuo Defense was built was the one he came from. Although he didn't have the energy to develop new projects, he could invest in the mining rights and find others to cooperate.

At first, Xia Yu didn't have many channels in this area, but the War Museum was a good social platform, which allowed Xia Yu to get to know many mine bosses in Afika.

There are Chinese people and foreign investors. The same thing is that everyone loves tanks. Doesn’t this make the relationship closer?

We exchanged contact information with each other and expressed that we could work together if there was an opportunity.

Marima is a wealthy black kingdom that has left a mark in history. In the 10th century, Musa I even went on a gold pilgrimage. He took about [-] tons of gold and scattered coins along the way. It can be said that his ancestors were richer.

To this day, there are still thousands of tons of gold reserves underground, but half of the 50 tons of annual output is dug out by hand, and the miners' income is not even high.

No machine is like this. Resources such as petroleum, manganese, uranium, zinc, and molybdenum are more difficult to mine than shallow gold, and the war will directly stop the production.

At least the Gao area must be cleared before we can talk about development, otherwise any mining rights will be a blank check.

Dinner was slow-cooked mutton with carrots. The arrival of the Hair Army and the Blue Helmets Stabilization Group actually brought some prosperity to the local livestock economy.

Weapons, ammunition and canned food can be transported, but fresh meat and vegetables must still be purchased locally.

A sheep costs over a hundred euros, and a kilogram of beef with bones only costs 2 euros, and the meat is even cheaper.

But compared with the income of the local people, they can only afford food during the holidays, and they have to rely on the soldiers of the country.

Of course, the soldiers of the Magnesium Kingdom will be better. This is the army that is most willing to spend money, not to mention that no one has checked the accounts, and it is even more unscrupulous.

Xia Yu, Meunier, and Charlie, the person in charge of Golden Oak Leaf, gathered at the table.

"Sherlock, you came at the right time. We suffered a lot of casualties this time. Half of us have been here for almost a year. They must return home to rest."

Charlie had no appetite and mashed the mutton with his fork as he spoke.

Compared with mercenary organizations with higher casualty rates, the combat environment of military contractors has been calculated, but frequent separations of life and death cannot be avoided.

Some of the people returning from Golden Oak Leaf may leave their jobs directly, while others may become key personnel and be assigned to the company's industry and security operations as grassroots supervisors.

This is a screening to select useful, suitable and lucky people.

Until the new recruits come in, and without the use of elite troops, Golden Oak Leaf can only undertake aerial strikes and low-intensity patrols.

The tough stuff is reserved for concentrated fire defense, just like they did at Pannaca.

No, it should be Jiban more accurately.

"It would be more appropriate to give you the clean-up contract this time. We have already alerted the enemy."

Charlie had also heard about the deployment of Concentrated Fire Defense in the Philippines some time ago.

What kind of efficiency is it to attack two camps with hundreds of people in one night?

In fact, it means that the preliminary work was sufficient. Golden Oak Leaf obviously lacked effective information about their target and launched the attack hastily. It is not surprising that such losses occurred.

Furthermore, the combat effectiveness is really rubbish. Even if a careful plan is made, the casualties can only be controlled to less than 5 people, but no loss can be achieved.

But yes, their company can afford to pay a pension of [-] euros; if they replace the car and hire special forces, the cost will be unbearable.

Xia Yu once asked Lao Yefu that Gener's labor costs were cheaper, which was why they were becoming more and more competitive.

"Don't mention these anymore, respect the fallen warriors."

He raised his glass of sweet white Riesling, and everyone did the same.

Although he fought for money, he died in the cause of counter-terrorism, which deserves a toast.

The next day, he witnessed the A400M unloading 15 military containers and their little antelope, picking up the six dead people and taking off again. Xia Yu also asked the base to borrow a car and headed to the Blue Helmet camp dozens of kilometers away.

There are three detachments of security, medical and engineering troops from China stationed here, with nearly 400 people.

There are a total of 400 people in the seven mission areas of Afika, contributing to regional peace and stability.

"The situation is not normal. There have been several terrorist attacks this month. Coupled with the clearing operation of Golden Oak Leaf two days ago, I suspect they are planning something big."

Guard team captains Lao Dong and Xia Yu said.

The construction of roads, bridges and airport runways in the mission area is the work of the engineering unit. They are responsible for security. They have entered the main urban area more times than the people from the country, so he has a keener sense of the changes in the situation in Oga.

"That's it, we will pay attention, and you guys should be careful too."

Xia Yu nodded and said.

The Blue Helmets are easier to bully than the government troops. Even those armed groups and jihadist organizations will take their anger out on them if they know that those who beat them are Chinese people. This is very inexplicable.

"After leaving the camp, be alert at all times. We are only deployed for one year, so it will be quick."

A year under high pressure is not easy, and I can only hope that time flies by faster!

Or the situation here is under control and the UN Stabilization Mission is no longer needed.

"Other than that, I still recommend that you don't rush into the main city. The situation here is more complicated than in the periphery."

The old director gave advice.

"That's what I plan to do, first clean up the armed forces on the periphery, and then advance from the outside inward."

Xia Yu revealed his battle plan.

Even with the blessing of drones, it is best not to push yourself into the quagmire of street fighting from the beginning.

He kept this in mind and did so.

In addition, Oga's nearly 100 militants, only a few hundred men, including the Fire Defense and Golden Oak Leaf, a total of more than [-] people, could not be killed at all, and they basically relied on driving them away and intimidating them.

As long as you are willing to put down your gun, there will be a way to survive.

PS: It was too cold to write until early in the morning yesterday, so I went to bed and wrote on my mobile phone. I ended up being so tired that I fell asleep and have been procrastinating until now.
