After all, we can only think about zero casualties. A large-scale live fire exercise can cause casualties, not to mention a real battle. Although the enemy is ready to collapse at one touch or even flee at the sight of the wind, casualties are inevitable.
It took almost two hours from the launch of the attack to dark. During this period, there were only seven casualties, two dead, three seriously injured and two slightly injured. For the number of combatants who have been put into operation, this casualty figure is almost negligible.
The skeleton Gang's night fighting ability is insufficient, but it has a certain night fighting ability. After dark, Gao Yang did not order to consolidate the war results, but ordered companies other than the teaching company to continue to attack, but only to reduce the intensity of the attack. The order given to the teaching company is to expand the combat scale in the night battle and take a more active offensive than during the day.
After the teaching company is equipped with the captured night combat equipment and the field combat equipment specially purchased for them, the whole company has the night combat capability. In the evening, it is the moment when the teaching company can play a decisive role.
The performance of the teaching company did not live up to the high expectations. Although the teaching company made a deeper breakthrough and encountered far more and stronger resistance than other companies, under the leadership of Li JinFang, the teaching company almost swept away all the enemies in front of it.
The teaching company has gone deep alone. They have moved all the way along Highway 1 and have controlled the coastal zone in the northwest corner of bossosa.
For the skeleton gang with stronger maritime transport capacity, controlling the coastal area of bossosa means that ammunition supplies can be sent directly from the sea to the urban area of bossosa and directly to the hands of the teaching company at any time.
Just after five hours of fighting, the skeleton gang has controlled the whole northwest corner of bossosa, while the teaching company extends the position forward. On the satellite map held by Gao Yang, it looks like a Chinese kitchen knife. The position of the blade is the standing army, and the position of the handle is the teaching company.
With the full flowering of the standing army in bossosa, groliov divided the artillery into four parts and followed into the urban area to provide artillery support for the troops entering bossosa. However, after entering the urban area, the artillery rarely had the opportunity to be powerful.
At present, the teaching company is the spearhead and core of the attack. Groliov himself followed the teaching company with five mortars and five rockets to prepare for support at any time. Most of TREB's Sniper teams were attracted to the past. Although it was a night battle, the front of the teaching company changed faster than during the day.
Gao Yang still took the seven companies as the reserve team to guard outside bossosa city. The progress was too smooth, which made him feel a little bored. However, boredom turned to boredom, but Gao Yang did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, because according to the news of ulyanko, there should be at least two mercenaries in bossosa City, but until now, the mercenaries have not appeared.
The enemy's mercenary regiment is like a thorn in Gao Yang's heart. Although he doesn't know the strength and number of mercenaries the enemy has found, Gao Yang naturally regards the enemy mercenaries as the biggest enemy. If the local mercenary regiment can't be found and annihilated, the current progress, no matter how smooth, is empty, If the mercenary regiment sent by mokadi is large and strong enough, maybe the skeleton gang can't stop the counterattack launched by mercenaries.
Time has passed for a long time, but there is no report of exchange of fire with the suspected mercenaries of the enemy. Gao Yang has no choice but to order all companies to be ready.
The time slowly came to 12 o'clock. Although after a long battle and entering the night battle mode, the casualties of the standing army began to increase, and 46 people had lost their combat effectiveness, the morale of the skeleton gang was high. They didn't feel tired at all and had no intention to stop fighting.
When it happened to be twelve o'clock sharp, Gao Yang's earphone, which had not sounded for a long time, suddenly rang.
"The second company reported that there were about 60 prisoners here who asked to join the battle. No, they can't be said to be prisoners. They surrendered to us on their own initiative, but they said they were not mokadi faction, but just civilians in bososa, and they asked to join the battle and attack mokadi faction with us. Sir, should we agree to their request? Please give instructions. Over."
In Somalia, almost everyone has guns, and the mokadi faction does not have a unified military uniform, so how to distinguish the armed personnel of the mokadi faction from the civilians is really a problem. Therefore, when a group of people claim that they are civilians rather than mokadi faction, they can't be identified, but Gao Yang doesn't intend to identify them. Since someone is willing to join the fight against the mokadi faction, Then join us. Welcome.
"Allow them to join the battle. They are all local people and are familiar with the terrain. You can ask them more to see if you can know the distribution of the enemy's forces. Just pay attention to explain our rules to these people. They must not be burned, killed and looted. If this happens, kill them on the spot."
"Yes, sir, one more thing. One of these people said that he had met many foreigners, many of whom were white. He just arrived a few days ago. I think this situation may be useful to you."
Gao Yang almost jumped up. Isn't that the news he was waiting for? The reporting company commander put the most important situation at the end.
"What? Ask him where those people are and the number of them. Come on, send back the defectors who have seen foreigners as soon as you can!"
"Yes, sir!"
The peace in the earphone returned temporarily. The company commander of the second company had gone to ask about the defector who might be a mercenary. While Gao Yang was waiting anxiously, Li JinFang suddenly sent back the news.
"I'm a toad. The leading troops of the teaching company encountered strong resistance and suffered great losses. The tactics and morale of the enemy they encountered are very different from those of the previous enemies. It is likely to be mercenaries, but I can't confirm the number and identity of the enemy at present. I'm going to find out the situation. Over!"
After Li JinFang hurriedly finished, the signal from the commander of the second company also came in. He hurriedly said: "The number of those foreigners is about more than 100. Mocadi appeared with those people, and the enemy is well equipped. It must be combatants, but the people he saw didn't count the number of those foreigners carefully. In addition, he saw that the place where the foreigners were near the port, but he didn't know where they went."
The news in the walkie talkie is shared, and the company commanders can exchange information with each other, so Gao Yang doesn't need to repeat it to Li JinFang. He immediately yelled in the walkie talkie: "toad, you heard that the enemy you encountered is likely to be these people. Be careful, shrink the front and wait for reinforcements! Big dog, you know how to do it!"
Gao Yang knows that the real hard battle has finally come. It's time to put the last reserve team into the battlefield.
