Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

The French army was unstoppable all the way and encountered basically no decent resistance; it immediately changed the morale of the army. Lieutenant General Andre became even more confident. Based on the current situation, victory was only a matter of time.

I really looked down on the Nigeriens too much before. They were not fighting at all; it was definitely Soviet volunteers who were controlling the missiles. The reason for the heavy losses of the French Air Force was finally found.

Now the ground troops are pushing forward all the way. As long as Lao Maozi does not want to cause international conflicts, he will definitely not dare to end it personally. In the event of a direct war, the Soviet Union would also have to consider whether it could withstand the consequences of France's return to NATO.

At this time, the adjutant came over to report: "General Andre; our army has defeated the enemy, and the Nigerien army has given up the first line of defense."

It was so vulnerable that the Nigeriens gave up the first line of defense less than an hour after the war started. This was enough for the Nigeriens.

But this is an opportunity for the French army; the whole world must take a good look at the true strength of powerful France!

After all, Andre is a senior general, and he will definitely not be as impulsive as young people; this is the most basic quality of a general. He would not relax his vigilance just because the battlefield situation was great, so he asked tentatively: "How is the enemy's retreat going?"

The battlefield situation can be analyzed through the enemy's retreat method.

For example, when the enemy retreats, he abandons his armor and weapons and equipment; if the formation is scattered, it is basically a real defeat; if the formation is not disordered, it is basically a false defeat.

The adjutant knew very well what information the general wanted to know, so he said directly: "The enemy retreated very quickly, and many weapons and equipment were not taken away in time. Not only that, many wounded were not treated in time, and the formation was very chaotic; there was nothing There’s a preface to the chapter!”

Hearing this, General Andre felt much relieved; he thought that the Niger army commanders were not that smart, and had just looked down upon them too highly.

In fact, General Barre also knew that the first line of defense could not be defended at all; except for the weapons and equipment, most of the combatants were new recruits. It has not undergone much military training and is the weakest army in the entire Niger.

Although it is cruel to do so, war is not a child's play; if kindness does not lead the army, justice does not do business, there are some things that cannot be helped! If you want to win the war, you must make sacrifices; dying for your country is a worthy death!

Facing the first wave of attacks by the French army, they were already frightened. Now that they saw the enemy attacking, they did not dare to resist at all. They just fired a few symbolic shots and then evacuated directly. I want to shoot everyone to death, and I don’t want to risk my life here.

After getting the desired result, he was not dazzled by the victory; he then asked: "What is the current supply situation of our army!"

If you want to expand the results, not only will the enemy be defeated, but your own logistics support must also keep up; going deep into Niger, it is almost impossible to obtain supplies, especially ammunition supplies!

The adjutant said quickly: "Algeria is very cooperative, and domestic supplies are also in place. There is sufficient fuel and ammunition, enough for us to reach Niamey."

Algeria itself is a big oil country, so the army does not have to worry about fuel problems when setting off. In addition, the French army wants to prove itself this time and has not fought a war for so many years; it has a large inventory of weapons and ammunition; it is not a problem to support the front line in any amount.

The battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and it must be done at once; if Niger is allowed to react, the French army will become passive.

General Andre said directly: "Order the frontline troops to speed up the progress; do not give the enemy any breathing space!"

The adjutant immediately went down to deploy. The supreme commander has issued an order. Just execute it resolutely!

After receiving the order, the frontline troops immediately began to increase their attack intensity; while the enemy's foothold was not stable, they must seize more territory. The French army cannot afford to delay, and the whole world is waiting to see their jokes.

At the same time, the Army also wants to prove itself. The Air Force receives the most funds and allocations, but they are still needed at critical moments; future allocations must be tilted towards the Army.

Whether it is effective or not does not depend on words, but needs to be truly demonstrated.

Maybe the French army is really strong, or maybe the Niger army is too stretched. In short, in one day, the French army advanced 100 kilometers into the hinterland of Niger. It can be said that the enemy has no power to resist.

Even Germany during World War II did not have such speed; the French were announcing to the world that their strength was not weak at all.

Early the next morning, the French army got up and immediately began to attack. The current French army has only one creed; that is to continue attacking. Only in this way can the shame on them be washed away.

After all, the French army has been at the forefront of the storm recently; after finally seizing the opportunity, it must win back face!

The Niger army is simply astonishing. With such strength, it was able to shoot down more than 200 French fighter jets. It is simply ridiculous. However, it also confirms from the side that the Soviets were all controlling the missiles before; otherwise it would not make sense at all!

Things turned out just as the French expected. The Nigerien army still failed to organize a decent resistance; it advanced another 75 kilometers.

The advancement speed is slower, mainly because the front is stretched; the logistics supplies can't keep up. Even so; at this rate, I believe it will take less than a week to reach Niamey.

What is unexpected is that the Niger army still did not launch a counterattack; logically speaking, it should not be possible. But the French army, which had been on heightened alert, still found nothing.

In this way, the French army pushed forward all the way, advancing a total of 250 kilometers into the hinterland of Niger in four days; it can be said that in military history, it can write a rich and colorful chapter. General Andre is also very excited, and the country is very satisfied with the current situation; Niger has even taken the initiative to contact Paris, and the purpose is self-evident.

How tough it was at the beginning, it is now so humble; the capital of Niger must be captured. Let the whole of Africa know how serious the consequences of angering France are!

After attacking for four consecutive days, the French army was a little tired; they wanted to have a good rest tonight and attack the enemy tomorrow morning. At this moment, the French army was not dazzled by the victory, but it no longer paid attention to the Niger army.

The suzerain mentality is gradually reaching its peak. At any time, underestimating the enemy will not end well, and the same is true for the French army.

Except for necessary guard posts, the French army was not deployed too much; in addition, for safety, all troops were concentrated together. It stands to reason that this would be easy to eat, but after so many days of victory; the French army believed that the Nigeriens could not make any waves at all, and as for night attacks, they had no ability at all!

What the French army didn't know was that their retreat had been blocked by the Nigeriens, and they were also surrounded by enemies several times their size.

All the surface-to-surface missiles obtained from East Germany have been handed over to the Niger army at this moment; they have not been able to achieve victory yet, and it can only be said that they are unable to support Adou!

At 4 a.m., the time when a person is most tired, the Nigerien army finally took action. Based on the coordinates provided by the Soviet Union, the missile was launched.

The large number and high density made the French army feel what a saturation attack was for the first time. The 80,000-strong army was attacked by the Nigerien army with 420 missiles and thousands of long-range rockets.

Not only that, the Niger Air Force was also mobilized; not only bombing the invading French army; even the four airports in Algeria were not spared.

The French army cannot be described as suffering heavy losses. It seems more appropriate to say that the entire army was annihilated.

There are no statistics on losses yet, but Andre knows that his military career is over from this moment on! He was not killed; not by luck, but because the Nigerien army did not fire missiles at his residence.

After all, a captured general is more valuable than a dead man!

There were a total of 80,000 French troops who invaded Niger. After this battle, more than 20,000 were killed in battle; countless others were injured; they had basically lost their combat effectiveness. Even if you want to withdraw, you can't. The back road was completely blocked, and most importantly, all heavy equipment was destroyed by the enemy.

Relying on rifles to fight back, the French army is not that brave!

There was only one result waiting for them, to raise their hands and surrender; apart from that, there seemed to be no other way. Of course, if the French want to reverse the situation of the war, they can directly use nuclear weapons; but if that is the case, the entire international community will not agree.
