Firepower is king

The plan is quite bold and very complex.

The Knight Mercenary Group took off from Tunisia and landed at Tims Airport near Addis Ababa after a flight of almost three thousand kilometers. The whole flight took about five hours.

The King's First Shadow Mercenary Group took off from Mekele. Due to the slow flight speed of the An-12, it took up to three hours of flight to arrive at Tims Airport.

The first unit of the War Group took off from Iraq, landed directly at Tims Airport, and captured the airport with the cooperation of the Tiansi Front.

The complexity of this action plan is that the three parties took off from three different places, but ultimately landed at the same airport. However, the airport they wanted to land on had to be conquered by themselves.

The War Group has never had any contact or cooperation with the Tiren before, but they need to cooperate with a motorized brigade of the Tiren to arrive at the airport an hour in advance, parachute into the air, seize the airport, control the airport, and then return it. To guide the next two planes to land and refuel.

If the War Group's attack is ineffective and unable to seize the airport, then the knights and shadows who arrived at the same time with their watches on their hands will have to airborne immediately to join the battle to seize the airport.

There are too many uncontrollable factors, it is very complex and very dangerous.

This action plan involves five different combat units, namely King's Defense, Shadow Mercenary Group, War Defense, Knight Mercenary Group, and the Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Men's Formation plus some skirmishers.

Four different departure locations were involved, namely Iraq, Tunisia, Mekelle, Tigray Region, and the area around Tims Airport.

Today's world powers are afraid to carry out such an operation because it is too difficult and poses a great challenge to the coordination and command system. It is common knowledge that the more complex a plan is, the more difficult it is to implement it.

But this is only part of seizing the airport. For Gao Guang's entire rescue plan, it is only half achieved.

The fundamental purpose is to rescue the four captured companions, so no matter how good and successful the previous half of the action is, if people don't teach them, it will still be a complete failure.

Therefore, after seizing the airport, the three high-end combat teams of King's Defense, Knights, and Shadows took two transport planes, flew a short distance, and parachuted over the frontline headquarters of the Egyptian People's Front.

Jump high and drive low, and based on GPS positioning, find the four people imprisoned in the enemy's headquarters and rescue them. After rescuing the people, call for a helicopter that flies at an ultra-low altitude to the headquarters to land, and leave in the helicopter.

Take a helicopter back to Tims Airport, transfer to a transport plane, and then fly to Djibouti. The entire rescue operation was successfully completed only after landing in Djibouti.

One action, two parts, four links in the whole process, the difficulty is frighteningly high, and the success rate is so low that I can’t bear to look at it. Thinking about it makes me feel numb, because there are so many links in this action, and any link Failure leads to

The most troublesome thing about the failure of the entire operation is that once the operation fails, the troops participating in the rescue operation will be trapped in the heavy encirclement of the Egyptian Army, making it difficult to evacuate.

Thinking about the difficulty of this operation, especially the strength and identity of the executor, it became even more difficult. After thinking about it, Gao Guang felt that as long as it succeeded, it would be comparable to or even surpass the Israeli attack on Uganda during Operation Embed. .

Only daring mercenaries dare to do this, because any country's military commander who has some sense will not carry out such a complex and difficult operation.

For Gao Guang, he only needs to pay and then be responsible for his own life. As for Zhan Huo and the Knights, they bear their own risks. This is a benefit, but the disadvantage is that Gao Guang can only believe in the execution and courage of the Knights and Zhan Huo Group. .

If there is any good news about this rescue operation, Gao Guang thinks it is that the An-12 transport plane they took is in much better condition than expected.

Ethiopian Airlines is also one of the largest airlines in Africa. Although the Ethiopian Air Force is lagging behind, it is still a regular air force. Their ground support capabilities are not bad, and the maintenance and upkeep of the aircraft is at least tolerable. Within the range, plus the An-12 has a simple structure and maintenance is not that complicated, so as of

You don't have to worry about the highlight flying and falling down on its own.

If you were not knocked down, but fell on your own, this kind of thing would be really unacceptable. The noise is very loud and the bumps are very severe. There are no seats in the cabin, and temporary installation is not possible because there is no need. There are no necessary manpower, and the Mentian Array has no plans to add any comfortable features to the only transport aircraft.

Therefore, passengers on the plane can only find a place to stand, and then they have to find a place to secure themselves to avoid falling and bleeding during the bumps.

The highlight is that he has a seat, his own electric wheelchair.

In addition, Gao Guang's aircraft was backward to what extent. There was no onboard satellite phone system on this aircraft, and the only way to communicate with the ground was through high-frequency and very high-frequency radios.

For Ethiopian military transport aircraft, with the help of ground radar and radio, the need for diversity of air-ground contact means is not so urgent. However, for Gao Guang and the others, if they want to contact the other two aircraft, they can only land after arrival. Once you are near the area, pray that you can establish radio communication with friendly aircraft as soon as possible.

Being behind means falling behind, there is nothing we can do about it.

"Sir! VHF signal received on the communication band, secret word call!"

The one who serves as the correspondent is Yin

A soldier from the Shadow Mercenary Group shouted excitedly, and Lei was right next to him. He picked up the microphone and said impatiently:

"This is the Shadow King, over."

"This is War Lord, over."

After a word, Lei was in a daze. He looked at Gao Guang and said, "War Lord?"

Gao Guang shrugged and said: "The leader of the Knight Mercenary Group is called Lord. Well, War Lord is their code name."

Different teams always have code names for each other. The King and Shadow team are called the Shadow King, with the shadow in front. This was Lei's strong request, and Gao Guang agreed after thinking it didn't matter.

The knight's code name is War Lord. There is no need to say more about this, so... Gao Guang didn't say it, at least not to Lei.

The codename of the War Group is Hellfire, which is full of ominous signs. Gao Guang argued hard for it, but unfortunately Danny refused to accept it.

As for the ground troops, they had no codenames because Gao Guang didn't know how to contact them before landing.

Now that they have made contact with the Knight Mercenary Group in the air, it means that both planes are not far from their destination. Everyone arrived at the airspace near the airport at the same time according to the scheduled time.

But what I want to contact now is Zhan Huo, but Zhan Huo can't be contacted.

Lei didn't know what to say. He looked at Gao Guang, but at this time Lei heard someone on the intercom saying: "King of Shadows, what's the situation on the ground? Please reply, over."

Lei said without hesitation: "The situation on the ground is unknown. We haven't made contact with Hellfire yet. It's over."

The situation seems a bit bad, because according to the time, the War Group should have landed and entered into combat. According to Gao Guang and their communication system, after the War Group landed, they should use satellite phones to contact Gao Guang and the others of the Knight Mercenary Group. There was no on-board satellite phone on the plane, and ordinary handheld satellite phones had no signal in the cabin. However, the plane the Knight Mercenary Group was looking for had an on-board satellite phone. Therefore, they should have contacted the Hellfire to confirm the situation on the ground, and then Deciding whether to parachute to help in the battle.

This was originally part of the plan, but the lack of contact was enough to cast the shadow of failure on the entire operation.

Again, there are too many uncontrollable links, and any problem in that link will lead to failure.

Gao Guang looked at his watch. The time was one twelve o'clock in the morning. According to the agreement, Hellfire should have been in battle for twelve minutes.

Lei didn't need to ask Gao Guang, he just said helplessly: "Have Hellfire contacted you? It's over."

"There was a notification during takeoff and everything was normal, but contact was lost after that. Over."

Taking off at different times, the battle can only be carried out according to the agreement, but Hellfire should give the Knight a call before airborne.

Then he told him that he was going to airborne for combat.

But no, according to the knight's reply, the ground

Hellfire did not make the required briefings.

This was troublesome, and very troublesome, because no one knew whether the Hellfires had entered the battle, let alone whether they succeeded or failed.

Gao Guang couldn't help but pinch his head with his hands because he started to have a headache.

For such a complicated plan, the first step was to encounter the situation of losing contact. How to fight and how to deal with this.

But at this moment, an exciting voice suddenly came from the intercom: "There's a call!"

Immediately, a voice with a thick curlicue sounded from the intercom.

"This is Hellfire. We have reached the target and cannot contact the ground forces. We cannot wait any longer and enter the battle alone. Over."

Twelve minutes late, the Hellfires arrived over their target and did not immediately engage in combat because they were unable to make contact with the ground forces.

The knight communicated with Hellfire using a satellite phone and notified the Shadow King by radio.

Gao Guang's heart has never let go, and now it is even more tense.

It was too difficult, really too difficult. It seemed that every step was on the verge of failure, and every news I heard was scary.

This is the essence of the most difficult rescue operation in history. It is really extremely difficult.

"Hellfire, why haven't you answered the satellite phone? Over."

The lord was very angry. He was asking why Hellfire didn't answer the phone:

Gao Guang also wanted to ask.

"We need to contact the ground. The satellite phone is occupied. Okay, I'm going to parachute, Ulla!"

A sudden loud shout startled everyone who had been listening, and then they heard the lord shout urgently: "Hellfire, hellfire! Hello, hello? Farke! Farke! Damn Russians!"

The lord was furious because he hated this kind of poor communication, especially the extremely inconsistent behavior of the contacting party.

And Gao Guang didn't even have a chance to say a word to Hellfire.

Lei looked at the highlight, and then he said in shock: "Without the cooperation of the ground troops, the Hellfire will continue like this? Are they going to seize the airport alone?"

Gao Guang thought for a while and whispered: "I don't know that we still need to fly for at least forty minutes. We will see the results when we arrive."

Lei complained, and was extremely puzzled: "Who are these people you are looking for!"

Gao Guang knew that Lei was complaining, but he still said seriously: "According to that bastard's habits, and according to Hellfire's accent and style, the members of Hellfire are obviously Russians."
