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

Chapter 431: Tuareg people, crossfire (please vote!)
"That really changed the image of female deer as silly, big and thick."

Andre said with emotion.

He has never eaten fine chaff, but he has seen pigs running and knows how accurate those expensive Wuzhi in Europe and America are.

The Soviet martial arts, even the later Alligator, and Havoc all feel a little rough.

This is the gap between manufacturing technology and avionics, and cost is only one factor.

On the other hand, Maozi may not be suitable for clever work by nature, but after being modified by a certain big country, Hind, the old master, can live out his second life.

"This Longbow Crossbuck has not been adapted to the Hult-3 and Mistral. It is one of the few pieces of equipment that the Chinese do not provide ammunition supplies. We can make more money by sticking it."

Xia Yu and Andre talked about ammunition, and then remembered the goods they had sent earlier.

"By the way, have you received the container of helicopter ammunition accessories that was sent with the supplies?"

"I received it three days ago. I saw that it didn't fit the Mi-24V and I knew it was from Xinwu."

At this stage of Xiayu's withdrawal from the third phase of the project, Andre has been driving the Laoluhu to escort the ground armor forces, and the ammunition consumption is still considerable.

Compared with the volley of uncontrolled rockets, the Longbow Cross Deer uses guided rockets to kill a target with one shot, and the unit price has also risen to 3 euros.

The price seems to be more expensive than the Huot-3, but only the expiring missiles that have been discontinued for a long time are so cheap. Among other anti-tank missiles that have just left the factory, which one costs not tens of thousands, but hundreds of thousands?
As for the guided rockets with seekers, Lao Mei’s own APKWS costs 3 yuan per round, and the price for export has doubled to 6 yuan.

The Aculeus TDA self-developed by the Chinese people will not be put into service until next year. The price may not even be 3 euros. It is not like the direct launch package of 3 euros for concentrated fire defense. They have taken a big advantage.

However, if you can't afford this kind of 90mm guided rocket with a seeker, Xiayu also has a 70mm tip with simple inertial navigation as an alternative.

This one only costs US$8000 per shot, and its range is only slightly farther than the Hult-3, about 5 kilometers.

It's good for clearing cars, but for the sake of hit rate, it's more appropriate to shoot two at a time.

"Leave this container and bring all the conventional ammunition. Our trip will not be easy."

Xia Yu warned Andre.

The Chinese people provide Huot-3 and Mistral, but they can still afford a thousand 8-ohm S- rockets, so they have no motivation to buy a batch of Soviet uncontrolled rockets in order to save money.

"How familiar are you with Hanhao Bird and Flying Monkey? You will spend more time together than me in the future."

With jobs to be found everywhere and goods to be purchased and shipped, Xia Yu really couldn't stay on the front line like he did in the early days.

Regardless of whether it is a direct attack by two armed forces, or a military + transportation escort transfer, several helicopter captains have to deal with many places, and it is necessary to maintain good relations.

"Yes, boss!"

After saying that, Andre took the initiative to go to Lao Han and his friends, and greeted them in Chinese that he had learned with his daughter.

After the little girl's condition was under control, she was directly transferred to a local primary school.

Her father even spent more than 100 million US dollars to buy a small two-bedroom apartment near the hospital and school, so on domestic topics, Andre and the two captains, who both have children, still have a lot to talk about.

Two hours later, all the goods were loaded, and the convoy left the airport first. The Chinook and the Longbow Cross Deer, which had been replenished with aviation fuel, took off one after another, and arrived at the company's temporary camp first.

…………

"This is the situation. This time during our deployment to the Sahel, the main target is no longer extremist organizations, but redefined separatist armed forces."

In the conference room, Xia Yu introduced it to department and grassroots commanders.

"The Tuareg tribe who formed the Coordination Movement of Azawad went to Lipiya in large numbers as mercenaries as early as the Gaddafi period. They have above-average military training, coupled with their own bravery and proficiency in fighting, and their The weapons and equipment obtained with the connivance of the Chinese people have created a very difficult situation now. "

"Our company only has two Hail rocket launchers, but they have double-digit BM-21s, and there are 4 known Hind helicopters. The government army was defeated and the people of the country also tasted the consequences of that year, and this is also The reason why focus fire defense is coming to the Sahel again.”

In other words, the Tuareg people did not suffer a loss the last time they were deployed. Instead, they managed to survive and summed up a lot of experience, knowing how to counter beheading and tracking.

They can break it into pieces as quickly as possible after the attack is over, and when the Taoist drones take off and arrive in the airspace where the incident occurred, no useful information can be traced.

"So boss, the first step is to find them first?"

Hans spoke below.

"That's true, but I don't have high hopes for this. The total number of Tuareg people in several countries is 500 million. We can't exclude tens of thousands of villages in the desert one by one."

Most of these 500 million people are honest herders and farmers. Not even 1% of the people who actually picked up a gun and joined the Azawad coordination movement, but the people who support them behind the scenes and provide various kinds of help are probably only the beginning. There is only 10%.

It's okay to shoot militants, but accidentally shooting these "deceived" ordinary Tuareg people will trigger a humanitarian crisis.

"So we will cooperate with the Taoist people and government troops to capture the important town of Kidal first and run through the passage to Tinker Batu from northeast to southwest."

Xia Yu formally talked about his battle plan.

Kidal-Oga-Tinque Batu on the map is an isosceles triangle, but they will not enter the complex Oga area this time and will only focus on dealing with the Coordinated Movement of Azawad.

In order for this operation to proceed smoothly, the Chinese people will focus on 70% of the funding for Operation Barchan Dune this year.

This can be considered a challenge, because if there is no additional domestic budget, they will not be able to launch a decent crackdown in the second half of the year, and at best they can only maintain the status quo.

It seems that the people of the country are completely trapped in the quagmire of war, but Xiayu's understanding of this is that in order to maintain their interests in the Sahel region, they turned Operation Crescent Dune into Operation Serval once a year.

Yes, more than a billion euros are spent every year, most of the time is resting and patrolling, and then resources are concentrated on a thunderous cleanup to maintain a stable situation until the next year.

Therefore, the Chinese people are not here to solve the problem, they just want to maintain the status quo at the minimum cost.

The chaotic Sahel region is in their interests. If they invest tens of billions at a time to completely eliminate all local extremist organizations and separatist armed forces, what reason is there for the garrison to stay?

How to guarantee the unreasonable interests of local legal enterprises?
However, there is a limit to how to make trouble for bandits. It is easy to get out of control after too many times. Xia Yu doesn't think they can last long anyway. No matter how slow Brother Hei is, there will always be time to react.

Prior to this, concentrated fire defense could only combat these unstable factors in the Sahel region as much as possible, allowing ordinary people in the area to gain short-term stability.

It’s up to them to decide when they will wake up. Xia Yu can only ensure that after the people from the Mao country withdraw, they will concentrate on defense and firepower...

Needless to say, it has great firepower. The problem is that its size is a bit lacking, and we can’t even carry pig teammates.

After many cooperations, he had a certain understanding of the strength of the government forces in several countries in the Sahel region. They did not even have elite servants in Nirili Ya.

There is no way to improve combat effectiveness without improving remuneration, selecting talents, and rebuilding.

The national defense cannot take this piece of cake alone. After much deliberation, it is necessary to recruit Genna. Old Yefu only has thousands of retired non-commissioned officers and hundreds of basic, middle and high-level officers to have the strength to rebuild the army in this way.

Unlike them, which can only train a few companies and one battalion, during a large-scale clearing operation, just this few people are of no use at all.

Thousands of people would be more than enough. After training these elites, Xia Yu is confident that it will take a few years to bring Mali's security to the level of Guo's coastal areas. Of course, it depends on more than just clearing out militants.

If the poverty problem is not solved, even if all targets are killed one by one, civilians who cannot survive will pick up guns again.

Let them legally earn a salary that can support their families and have a stable life. How extreme do they have to be to burn, kill, loot, and commit all kinds of evil?

Cooperate to develop local oil and mineral resources, build special tourism projects, and improve agricultural production technology...

Only by cooperating with and simultaneously promoting these development projects can we increase the per capita GDP of a few hundred yuan to more than 1000, so that the common people can have enough to eat.

"The convoy set off yesterday. Tomorrow I will form the vanguard with the glider crew, the zokor crew, the number 4 crew, and the honey badgers, and we will enter Mali via Niger."

His thoughts flew back, and Xia Yu officially announced the work assignment.

"The remaining members will cooperate with the new employees to continue to eliminate the remnants of Boko Holy Land. We will see you in Mali after the 15th!"

"Yes, boss!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Domi is the happiest of all, because he can fight alongside Mr. again.

Xia Yu was also very happy to return to the ground from the sky. After all, he was still a tank soldier at heart.

After packing their simple luggage, they were ready to set off early the next morning.

"Wow~Wow~~"

Lao Luhu and Chinook took off one after another, and the formation flew towards Nizir.

There are still large tracts of forest in Niriliya. When entering neighboring countries, there is only low vegetation. Large expanses of green can only be seen along the Niri River and in sporadic oases in the desert.

The Azawak Valley, which divides the border between the two countries, entered the Mali side. The fleet landed at a border base of Mali government officers before the transport convoy.

Yes, Kidal has been abandoned for several years, but the military base hundreds of kilometers away from it is still in the hands of the government forces, and daily supplies are also sent from Nezir.

"Welcome, I am Lieutenant Varu!"

The person in charge of the base greeted Xia Yu, who took off his sunglasses and looked around.

"Hello Lieutenant Varu, I am the boss of Focused Fire Defense - Sherlock."

After shaking hands with the other party, he found that there were many bullet marks and holes from the explosion on the walls of the base, not to mention that the marks still looked very new.

"It turns out to be Mr. Sherlock. You must be curious about these traces. We were attacked by the Tuareg the night before yesterday. They fired a salvo with a 107 rocket launcher."

Varu took the initiative to introduce.

"Lieutenant, are the casualties serious?"

"Three people were killed and one was injured. Only one-third of the rockets hit the yard. We are a bit far away from Kidal. Those who came to attack were obviously not their elite."

The same weapon has different effects when used in the hands of different people. The Tuareg people are obviously using this military base to practice their skills.

Hail's 122mm rockets are much more expensive than the 107mm rockets. It is a very cost-effective training plan for newcomers to use cheaper rockets to bully government military bases that are unable to resist.

They just concentrated fire defense and settled in this base. Xia Yu, who wanted to have a good sleep, would never allow them to continue their mischief.

"Then the news about our entry into the base was leaked."

"It must have been leaked. The movements of the two helicopters cannot be kept secret."

Varu told the truth based on experience.

There are several Tureg villages around the base, and destroying two helicopters is also a big temptation for them.

Even if there is no BM-21 in this direction, it will be the same if a few 107mm multiple rocket launchers fire a salvo.

"That's great, just wait patiently until they deliver it to your door!"

Xia Yu decided to adopt the tactic of waiting and waiting. After all, he was the best bait.

That night, everyone in the fire defense vanguard settled down peacefully. Only Varu and his disabled company of about 100 people didn't know what the PMC company was up to.

"Do it, why not do it, and hurry up, don't let those two helicopters escape."

The person in charge of the lower-level branch in Azawad made a prompt decision and decided to launch a night attack tonight to catch the opponent by surprise.

A total of four 4mm multiple rocket launchers were gathered together, and four armed pickup trucks will rush into the government military base after the shelling to expand the results.

From the beginning, each sneak attack killed and injured more than a dozen people on the other side, to now it wasted more than a dozen rockets to cause less than 5 casualties. The skills of the new members of their artillery crew have not improved much, and the Varuna gang's ability to dodge cannons has not improved much. Straight up.

However, this time the firepower intensity has been quadrupled, and with the assistance of armed convoys, they will completely eliminate this nail set by the government forces on the border.

At one or two o'clock in the morning when the night was darkest, 10 pickup trucks drove out from various villages, formed a convoy, and quietly headed towards the border.

But this scene was also clearly captured by the CH-4 flying in the sky. For the sake of long endurance, the drone was not equipped with bombs and could not bring justice directly from the sky.

"Zokor crew received it!"

Benjamin, who was sleeping in his clothes, rushed out of the tent and blew the whistle in his hand.

"Shh~~"

All members of the convoy temporarily stationed in the desert woke up.

Under the guidance of the integrated surveillance and combat drone, the transport convoy avoided people for the second half of the journey, just for this moment.

"set off!"

"Om~~"

After starting the KF-41 Lynx, the number 4 group with all members on board closed the tail hatch and drove towards the target at high speed under the guidance of the drone team.

"We're in the right place, hurry up and set up a launch site."

Twenty minutes later, the night attack convoy was officially separated. The artillery team stopped 4 kilometers away from the base. The four armed pickup trucks continued to move forward, but just as they unhooked the four rocket launchers from the pickup trucks.

"Dong~dong~dong~~"
