Seven Hundred and Forty-Five, Smooth Sailing

745 Smooth sailing

On the second day of New Year's Day, Operation Africa officially launched. ( # ￥)

Multinational troops radiated in all directions with the airport as the center. The soldiers went deep into the jungle to find ant nests, poured poison, diverted water and smoke, and used various methods to eliminate the ant nests.

The giant ants near the advance base are almost dead, and there is basically no danger. However, a little further away, the number of giant ants has doubled, and it seems that there is nothing else in the world except giant ants.

The climate in Africa is hot, and giant ants have no habit of hiding in their nests. Every time they set out, the soldiers have to face the siege of a large number of giant ants. Sometimes they even have to turn on poisonous smoke all the way to move forward smoothly. Moloda is filled with poisonous smoke. , even satellites can see the smoke trails coming out of the rainforest, with the exception of heavy rain every afternoon.

Heavy rains bring a lot of trouble to multinational troops. As soon as the troops who go out have lunch, they will immediately find a suitable place to camp. The principle of choosing a camping site is that it is best to shelter from the rain. At the very least, it must be a shelter from the rain. The place should not be directly exposed to heavy rain in any case.

Only by blocking the heavy rain can the armored vehicle release poisonous smoke to ensure that the team is not besieged by giant ants.

Fortunately, Moloda lacks everything but primeval forests. Tropical rainforest trees are tens of meters high, and their overlapping canopies block out the sky and sun. Although they cannot block heavy rains like big umbrellas, they can reduce the density of heavy rains. As for not even being able to release poisonous smoke.

If there were no poisonous smoke bombs, the troops going out would have to fight against the giant ants in more than two hours of heavy rain. The car's small amount of ammunition would not be able to last that long. Unless the space fleet is called to protect the whole process, three or five giant ants gathered together have the ability to overturn an armored vehicle.

Armored vehicles are not as fragile as civilian vehicles. Even if they roll over, it is nothing. At most, the equipment on the roof will be damaged, and the people in the vehicle are not in danger at all.

However, after the armored vehicle overturns, all the weapons on the roof are useless, which is equivalent to disarming the armored vehicle. The giant ants can freely wander around the armored vehicle without worrying about being hit by the armored vehicle.

The solution to this trouble is very simple, as long as the soldiers get out of the car and right the armored vehicle - the vehicle's instruments are fragile, but no matter how poor the quality of the turret is, it will not be damaged by overturning.

At that time, only one poisonous smoke bomb will be needed to disperse the ant colony, but the question is, how can the giant ants watch the soldiers righting the armored vehicle?

After two teams were taught how to behave by giant ants, the US military was forced to issue a no-exit order to the troops going out, that is, as long as there were giant ants near the armored vehicle, no one was allowed to leave the armored vehicle without permission.

Such an order is a joke,

Thomas felt that he had become the laughing stock of the multinational force.

No one knew whether anyone in the multinational force was laughing at him, but after the news reached Fang Base, the officers and soldiers in the base were gloating about his misfortune. The good-hearted officers and soldiers even made a joke about it, to the effect that if it weren't for the giant ants, If they don't accept prisoners, the trapped American troops would have surrendered to the giant ants long ago.

However, this matter is not funny at all to the person involved. The overturned armored vehicle cannot be left alone. Support troops must be dispatched to rescue the trapped troops.

Faced with this difficult situation, the US military finally decided to start with air support and simply requested a batch of armed helicopters. Wherever there was a problem, the planes dropped poisonous smoke bombs wherever they went, covering the soldiers who came out to right the armored vehicles.

However, the distance of the mission was getting farther and farther, and the problem of short legs and slow speed of the helicopter became more and more prominent. Thomas had to send a batch of fixed-wing aircraft to the forward base.

The more technical equipment put into the battlefield, the greater the logistical pressure on the multinational forces. The transport aircraft fleet flew day and night, but could only barely guarantee the supply of supplies. Thomas had to apply to the Pentagon for more transport aircraft.

The U.S. military's response plan is the way they are best at fighting, and it is not unpowerful. However, this plan was criticized by Ye Han and others for being incomplete.

Isn't it a poisonous cigarette? Are you still using the helicopters and then the fighter jets? Just install a set of smoke-generating devices on the left and right sides of the armored vehicle or even on the bottom of the vehicle. Wouldn’t everything be solved?

Ye Han really doesn't understand how Americans' brain circuits grow. Has American thinking become so rigid?

Although there were some twists and turns in the process, the multinational force was able to straighten out the context of its operations in Africa little by little. Not only did it form a set of effective tactics, but its logistics supply was also reasonably optimized.

Thomas also had the idea of ​​opening up a land transportation line, but the straight-line distance between the two places is more than 2,000 kilometers, spanning several countries and large rainforests. In addition, transportation in Africa is originally underdeveloped, and the straight-line distance converted into actual distance is probably no less than 3,000 kilometers. .

Moreover, there were no human beings along the way, but there were ant nests everywhere. Not only could they not get any supplies, but they needed to clear out the insect nests.

Giant ants have been raging for several years, and the original roads have long been dilapidated. Just building more than 3,000 kilometers of roads requires a huge investment of manpower and material resources, and the resources consumed are several times that of air transportation. No matter how you look at it, the gains outweigh the losses. .

Unless the multinational force starts from Djibouti and steadily pacifies the African continent, any form of land communication line will be of no practical significance.

If all these resources are invested in the transport aircraft fleet, the materials that should be transported have already been delivered to the forward base. Is there any need to mess around on the road?

With the current strength of the multinational force, it is not impossible to flatten the African continent, but the problem is not that simple - no one said anything when the territory was occupied by giant ants. Once it is defeated by the multinational force, it will be different. Those Africans who took refuge in Europe The remnants will definitely jump out to fight for the right to belong.

Whether you can fight for it is one thing, but whether you can fight for it or not is another matter. Even if you know that it is impossible to get an inch of land from the multinational forces, you still have to behave like a master and find ways to take advantage of the American cake. Take a bite... After all, there are only a few governments in exile that send away their entire territory as a token of surrender.

To put it bluntly, the multinational forces are not monolithic. Today they can join together for the sake of interests, and tomorrow they can go their separate ways for the sake of interests. If Africa is really occupied, lawsuits over interests will definitely be inevitable.

So no matter how you look at it, now is not the time to occupy Africa by force. The purpose of Operation Africa is not to occupy Africa, but to find aliens hiding in Africa!

Now everyone knows that the aliens must have planned and premeditated the landing operation. Although the aliens have not made any movements, anyone with a normal IQ knows that the aliens will never be willing to lie dormant. If they cannot take advantage of the aliens, If a young man intervenes in time, he may cause some trouble in the future.
