Rebirth in 1989: Building a Chinese Technological Empire

Fierce, the battle under the cover of night can only be described as ferocious.

These Somali armed forces who have been holding back their anger for so many days now have bloodshot eyes, and they are so brave after entering the camp.

When you see a building, don't care if there are people there, throw a few grenades in first, and then send people to shoot.

More and more people came out of the tunnel and rushed straight to the US military camp. There are also a group of people with special remote-controlled bombs. When they see vehicles or buildings, they directly suck these bombs on the vehicles.

"Support, we need support..."

In the camp, the NATO coalition forces were completely stunned. Late at night, many people were sleeping, and they didn't have any weapons in their hands. Now they are suddenly attacked, many people don't have heavy weapons, and some don't even have light weapons.

The most critical thing is that most of the buildings in the camp are temporary buildings, which can be lived in, but the defense is too poor. Look at the firepower of the Somali armed forces. In addition to grenades, these people also carry a lot of rocket launchers. When they see buildings that resist, they fire a few without saying a word.

Others held grenade launchers and fired a few grenades when they saw the building.

NATO troops had never experienced such a battle. The United States had not experienced such a battle since the end of the Vietnam War.

In recent years, the United States has fought wars by bombing first, and only when the opponent was bombed to the point where he had no chance to fight back did the army armored forces go in.

They had never experienced this kind of counter-charge combat method, and it came too suddenly, so many American soldiers were even scared and didn't know how to fight at all.

What frightened them even more was that the enemy seemed to be fearless. Even when their comrades died in front, they continued to charge behind.

Some people were still wearing self-destructive vests, and some rushed into the room defended by the US military and directly detonated the vests on their bodies. This kind of vest was so powerful that often a self-destructor could directly take the US military in a house to see God together.

In the base, the coalition forces were resisting, but the space for their activities in the entire camp was constantly being compressed.

Some people even raised their hands to surrender, but Aidid's people did not accept surrender at all. They just shoot at the enemy, not giving them a chance to surrender.

At this moment, both sides were bloodthirsty.

The US Air Force was powerless at this moment. Both sides were now engaged in a positional war. They did not dare to bomb for fear of accidentally bombing their own people.

However, the rocket artillery positions outside the camp were bombed by the US Air Force as soon as possible. Not only the rocket artillery positions, but also many open spaces were bombed by the US military, because they knew that there must be a tunnel leading directly to the US camp, otherwise Aidid's people would not have succeeded in the sneak attack.

"Damn bastards, let the navy carpet bomb Mogadishu immediately. I want to bury all these rats there..."

Joseph gave the order, and he was extremely anxious.

The ground forces did not have time to support, and the long-range firepower did not dare to bomb randomly. Now Joseph could only watch Aidid's army and his own army fight a positional war.

Joseph also contacted the Somali interim government, hoping that the interim government would send troops to support the US military. But the interim government said that it was unwilling to send troops no matter what.

The interim government is afraid. Last time they went to Mogadishu, more than 20,000 soldiers of the interim government were left there. Many people did not die at the hands of Aidid, but indirectly died at the hands of the US military.

The US military's bombing of Mogadishu made the interim government troops trapped in Mogadishu completely trapped. Originally, the injured could be rescued, but after the bombing of the US military, these people could not retreat at all, and some people died slowly after being injured.

Some uninjured people were hunted down by Aidid's army at night. In the end, only a few of the more than 20,000 government troops returned, and only a few uninjured people ran out by themselves.

In this case, how could the Somali interim government send more people? Now the army of the Somali interim government wants to mutiny. It's good enough to control it temporarily and not mutiny. Sending people to support the US military is simply courting death.

Suffering, Joseph and his men can only suffer at this moment.

Not only was he suffering, but countless people in the United States, thousands of miles away, were also suffering and waiting for dawn.

In Mogadishu, a large number of American fighter planes took off again to carpet bomb Mogadishu. The missiles on the American warships were now thrown down as if they were free.

"Order the ships to approach and attack Mogadishu with naval guns. Let the USS America approach Mogadishu. I want these beasts to watch their homes being destroyed..."

On an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in the USS America aircraft carrier battle group, the commander of the entire fleet issued an order.

Mogadishu has no weapons that canIt is enough to hurt the warships. In his eyes, Mogadishu is a live target.

It is not enough to bomb with the air force alone. It is more spectacular to let the warships approach and bomb with naval guns. Although the caliber of the naval guns on the warships is much smaller than that in World War II, the power is still not small.

Moreover, naval gun shells are cheap, much cheaper than aerial bombs. After firing, they can be replenished with supply ships.

After the order was issued, the warships in the USS America aircraft carrier battle group quickly approached Mogadishu, and finally these warships were only about ten kilometers away from Mogadishu.

However, the US Navy was not afraid at all. Aidid and his men had no anti-ship weapons in their hands and posed no threat to the warships at all.

Warships are not tanks. You can shoot them down with shoulder-fired missiles.

Now American warships, let alone shoulder-fired missiles, may not be able to sink even if you use ordinary anti-ship missiles. Moreover, there are defensive weapons and close-in defense guns on the warships.

The port in Mogadishu had been bombed to pieces, and the ground was bombed into ruins. Not to mention anti-ship weapons, now they don't even dare to come out.

The USS America stopped 30 kilometers away from Mogadishu, and various fighter jets took off and landed continuously to bombard Mogadishu.

In the command room of the underground base in Mogadishu, when Shamedi looked at the latest intelligence, he immediately became excited.

According to the intelligence from secret channels, the USS America aircraft carrier battle group is now close to the coast of Mogadishu.

Many warships are actually 10 kilometers away from Mogadishu, and the USS America is only 30 kilometers away.

30 kilometers, this distance is very far for ordinary weapons, but it is too close for Granite heavy anti-ship missiles.

You must know that the speed of Granite heavy anti-ship missiles is 2.5 Mach. What is the concept? This means that this missile can fly 850 meters per second. Granite only takes about 35 seconds to reach a distance of 30 kilometers.

Thinking of this, Shameidi's heart began to beat. If the USS America could be sunk, it would be a big event. Not to mention sinking it, even if it was damaged, it would be a huge event.
