Chapter 1960 (1/2)

Qin Feng and his party were hunting, and the formation was also very loose.

Basically, no one thought anyone would dare to attack them.

Attack them with such short eyes.

Who dares to come!

There is a battalion of regular troops here.

The regular army of a battalion and the warlords around it must mobilize at least one army.

May not be able to eat.

This is not a joke.

In the Black Hawk plan, although it is said that the US war plan failed. But in fact, in terms of war results, the United States won. Only from the overall point of view, the US action did not achieve its goal.

Its background also stems from the African civil war.

Originally, the Federal Republic of Somalia had the longest coastline in Africa on the Somali Peninsula, the easternmost part of the African continent. Since the fall of siad regime in 1991, Somalia has been an anarchy of warlord armed separatism and the fragmentation of the country. Somaliland in Northwest Somalia, central Puntland and southwest Somalia are substantially independent. Somalia is the only sea route for cargo ships from all countries to enter and leave the Suez Canal. Due to the continuation of the civil war in Somalia and the collapse of the education and social system for many years, the local people have been engaged in piracy since the 20th century. Pirates extort merchant ships from various countries every year, and the amount is difficult to estimate.

As we all know, in the era of warlord separatism, it is difficult to implement humanitarian in Somalia. Each family holds an AK. In Somalia, you can have no cell phone, no TV, but you can't have no gun. Shooting and killing people in the street happens from time to time. Even when you are sleeping, you can hear the gunfire outside.

Therefore, in 1992, the United Nations decided to send peacekeeping forces to Somalia, mainly to supervise the ceasefire of various tribes and provide limited humanitarian assistance to the residents of Somalia. Due to the growing power of warlords. The humanitarian supplies received by the residents were robbed by the warlords. At the beginning of the film ”Black Hawk falling”, there is a film in which warlords rob the supplies provided by the United Nations.

With the deteriorating situation in Somalia, the United Nations has successively sent some more personnel to Somalia. The purpose of peacekeeping forces in Somalia has also been upgraded from the initial supervision of ceasefire to the use of ”all necessary means” to establish a safe environment for humanitarian relief operations in Somalia.

However, Farah Aidid, the most powerful warlord in Somalia, believed that the peacekeeping forces were an obstacle to his expansion of power, so he ambushed Pakistani forces, killing 24 Pakistani soldiers. After Aidid ambushed Pakistani troops, the United Nations authorized peacekeeping forces to catch the behind the scenes by any means.

On October 2, 1993, the US military received reliable intelligence. Aidid will have a meeting at a hotel in Mogadishu. So the US Army immediately organized an arrest plan. First, eight Black Hawk helicopters were prepared to drop the troops next to the hotel, then the armored forces drove into Mogadishu, and finally the arresting personnel retreated by truck with the prisoners. In order to avoid intensifying conflicts with local residents, the U.S. military chose not to take the initiative to fire at the beginning of the operation.

On 3 October 1993, at 3.32 p.m., the attack began. Ah-6 ”bird” and mh-60k ”Black Hawk” helicopters quickly took off from a temporary airport near the coast, and the ground escort convoy immediately drove out of the barracks. The first two ”bird” helicopters landed on the narrow street south of the target building. The first group of ”delta” players jumped off the helicopter, threw several smoke bombs into the yard where the building was located, and then crashed open an iron door and rushed into the yard. Without waiting for the reaction of Aidid elements in the meeting, ”delta” team members rushed into the room from the stairs behind the building and controlled the situation. Then, they rushed the 24 Somali prisoners to the first floor and handcuffed their wrists together for evacuation.

As a result, what is called a people's war is now on in Somalia.

Aidid's troops broadcast to the Somalis through a loudspeaker: ”come out and fight for your home!” Thousands of Somalis came from all directions and besieged the American soldiers.

By this time, the convoy under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Danny mcnitty had arrived at the target building on time. As a ”Ranger” named Blackburn fell seriously when he slid down from the helicopter, mcnit decided that Sergeant Stryker would command three ”Hummers” to return Blackburn to the base first, and then use the other nine ”Hummers” and trucks to send the Somali prisoners out of the city together with the ”delta” players and ”Rangers”.
