Chapter 1690 Controlling the Port of Mogadishu

The battle at the port of Mogadishu broke out in an all-round way, and the battle outside the port was also very intense.

There was only one company of paratroopers entering the port, but the marines also appeared in the port on time, and there were armed helicopters and peacekeeping bombers to support them, so there was not much pressure.

However, due to the large number of paratroopers scattered during the parachute, the strength of the peripheral defense was seriously insufficient.

The pressure on the paratroopers fighting on the periphery is also enormous.

Just dozens of people need to bear the heavy responsibility of blocking the entire intersection, and the enemies they face are not hundreds of people, but hundreds or even thousands of people.

The opponent's firepower can almost be said to have completely surpassed that of the paratroopers. If there were no snipers on the commanding heights of the roof to assist them, the opponent would have already broken through this small intersection.

After finally suppressing the opponent's charge, leaving behind the corpses on the first floor of the intersection, several armed jeeps rushed out directly from the intersection, and the heavy machine guns on the vehicles roared non-stop towards the windows controlled by the paratroopers.

At the same time, two pickup trucks with recoilless guns also came to the intersection, and the two recoilless guns began to bombard the windows on the roof.

The firepower of the paratroopers on the floor was completely suppressed.

"Call the fleet to strike, and the satellite positioning coordinates will be sent to the fleet at the same time."

On the floor, the sergeant major in charge of commanding the battle anxiously shouted to the signal soldier.

In the current battle at the port, it is impossible to separate armed helicopters or peacekeeping bombers. It will take time for other paratroopers to come to support.

If this wave of fire suppression from the opponent is not blocked, the opponent's large number of troops will be able to break through the intersection and enter the port.

At the same time, the fleet far away on the sea also quickly approached Mogadishu. After receiving the fire call from the paratrooper platoon, the fleet did not start shelling.

"Sergeant, the fleet has reported that the coordinates are still out of range, and it will take five minutes at the fastest to get within range."

"Damn five minutes, don't they know that in five minutes, we may all be finished? Tell them, use the extended-range ammunition, and I need fire support now." The sergeant major said with a fist.

"But Sergeant Major, if we use extended-range bombs, we will be on the edge of the attack coordinates, and we will be accidentally injured." The signalman said quickly.

"I don't have time to think about it. Unless I get a few tanks now, I can't stop these lunatics at all." The sergeant major shook his head. There was not even a single tank or armored vehicle in the place where they parachuted. There will be no such predicament.

At this moment, a roaring cannon sound shattered the second floor wall of the intersection building.

The paratroopers had no choice but to retreat to the second room and guard the street leading to the port at the crossroads. The crossroads could no longer be defended.

At the same time, the fleet directly rejected such shelling requests for the simple reason that using extended-range ammunition was too dangerous, and the entire paratrooper platoon was within the range of fire coverage.

Based on this, the navy rejected such a support order, but asked the soldiers on the front line to hold on for five minutes. The two destroyers had already arrived at Mogadishu at full speed.

The rapid-fire naval gun of a multipurpose destroyer,

If the firepower of the naval gun is fully utilized, its strike effect is equivalent to the firepower of a field artillery battalion.

This kind of firepower is already quite powerful, and the shooting accuracy is extremely high. If it supports land operations, the effect will be very significant.

The order to request shelling was rejected again, and the sergeant major didn't say anything. He could understand the navy's concerns, because once the shelling stood, people like himself were quite dangerous, and the shells didn't have eyes.

Just when the paratrooper platoon was completely suppressed, on the other side of the intersection, two Grizzly main battle tanks rushed out from the corner of the intersection, making the scene instantly reversed.

Two tank guns killed a recoilless gun and a machine gun pickup truck at the intersection, and then the powerful firepower followed the multi-purpose tracked vehicle that appeared behind the tank, and the 30mm Getter machine gun , frantically shooting towards the armed men at the intersection.

Crazy firepower, the shell casings slid from the roof of the armored vehicle to the ground like flowing water, and the dense barrage swept the entire street like a laser.

The fragile pickup truck caught fire and exploded instantly under the depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile of the Getter machine gun. The armed personnel who rushed out of the intersection, under the intensive firepower, their fragile bodies were quickly dismembered into pieces by the terrifying bullets. The scene was very vivid. bloody.

Just the appearance of two tanks and two multi-purpose tracked vehicles greatly reversed the situation at the entire intersection.

However, there are too many armed personnel here. In the houses on both sides of the street, several RPG rockets also flew towards the tanks and armored vehicles.

Facing the incoming rockets, the defense systems on the tanks and armored vehicles also started immediately. The external active reactive armor exploded at the moment when the rocket shells approached. The armored vehicle detonated nearly one meter away.

Especially multi-functional tracked vehicles, the defense against rockets is not very strong, so such a defense method is very much needed, but under normal circumstances, armored vehicles are only equipped with a protective fence, such as the Red Police Corps, which directly hangs reactive armor. Armored vehicles, few countries can afford it.

The support of other paratroopers immediately relieved the pressure on the paratroopers at the intersection. Instead, the armed soldiers at the intersection were in great danger.

On the second floor, the sergeant major fired eighteen consecutive shots at the wall in front of him, hitting a circle on the wall, then took out a hammer and smashed it, directly smashing a shooting hole in the wall, aiming at the people on the street. Armed men, began to fight back.

Urban combat, digging a firing hole in a wall, is a must-have skill for every infantryman.

The lethality of the 20-type assault rifle bullet is enough to penetrate a 24mm concrete wall within a certain distance. It only needs to make a circle, and the rest of the work is very simple.

Five minutes later, when the two leading warships of the fleet reached the range of fire, the battle at the intersection had become suspenseless.

Afterwards, the battle at the port also began to come to an end, and thousands of armed men in the port also began to carry out final clean-up work.

A complete reinforced battalion of the Marine Corps has begun to coordinate the landing in Mogadishu, and another reinforced battalion has also begun preparations.

A series of heavy equipment, such as Apocalypse tanks, entered the urban battlefield in Mogadishu, and this battle can almost be said to be without suspense.
