Heavy firepower has an absolute advantage, and the number of people has an absolute advantage, but the advantage of heavy firepower can't be brought into full play. If the number of people has an advantage, launching an attack with the crowd tactics is to let the soldiers of the skeleton Gang die. Gao Yang can't give such an order with a hard heart.
An emergency military meeting was held on the walkie talkie, but the result of concerted efforts was that there was still no feasible way.
After another ten minutes of delay, Gao Yang finally made up his mind. Since there is no way, let's go according to the way there is no way. Regardless of casualties, he will eat his opponent.
Gao Yang was afraid that the order to ignore casualties would cause the resistance of the skeleton Gang soldiers, but fortunately, the training since this period of time and the brilliant achievements in attacking the mokadi faction made Gao Yang's prestige extremely high. Although he knew that the casualties would be great, no one opposed Gao Yang's order.
After the orders were issued level by level, the lower level officers and soldiers did not show any fear, which is very rare. In Somalia, they can prepare to implement an order with a high casualty rate without stumbling. Such an army is already a strong army.
In Somalia, no, in the whole of Africa, the most common way of combat should be this. Both sides pull thousands of people, and then start shooting at the enemy who can't see where. After both sides pay dozens of casualties, one side declares victory and withdraws from the battle, then the other side declares victory, and then a battle ends. If it is to rob territory, Then outsiders can judge who won according to whether the territory changed hands. As for the problem that it is difficult to judge the result without grabbing the territory, no one will care.
Strange to say, Africans seem to have achieved more casualties with machetes than with guns. Of course, their achievements with machetes are basically in the Holocaust, not in the real war.
Gao Yang can be proud that he can let an army with more than 1000 people launch an assault. However, he can't explain that if he doesn't do it, he will let these soldiers who give him a long face die. Therefore, Gao Yang's order is to make half an hour of artillery preparation before launching the assault and shoot out all the shells and rockets that can be hit. Even if he gets mistakenly, he will have to kill several unlucky people, Even if they are not sure, they have to let the local people know their determination.
Waiting for groliov to disperse all his artillery directly under him, and the heavy firepower assigned to his brother's company also entered the concealed position, Gao Yang shouted in the walkie talkie: "attention, all units, mortars, rockets, RPGs, and heavy and heavy machine guns, shoot and fire freely towards all places where the enemy may hide!"
After Gao Yang gave the order, an irregular circle was formed, guns and rockets roared, and shells and rockets landed in the area controlled by the enemy. However, the impact points were indeed too scattered, and scattered Gao Yang was a little distressed about shells. As for heavy and heavy machine guns, they could at least send bullets to the place they should go, although they could not see anyone, But at last, they can let the enemy know that they still have no shortage of bullets.
The mortars and rockets fired did indeed lead to the enemy's counterattack. Although the location was estimated, the enemy's shells could be found by the enemy even if they hid, as groliov said. Fortunately, the enemy's accuracy was affected. The enemy's first counterattack exploded ten meters away from a rocket, It failed to cause casualties, but the second gun damaged a rocket that had been fired for one round, but did not cause casualties.
It was found that the enemy still had too little artillery fire and could not cause too heavy casualties to the skeleton gang who fired at the same time. Gao Yang's uneasy heart was better at last. The enemy's counterattack strength was limited. As long as it could fire at the same time, the enemy could not fight back all over the line.
Gao Yang's relaxed mood lasted for less than two minutes, and he began to be depressed again, because the enemy no longer fought back. The artillery fire of the skeleton Gang seemed to do no harm to them, so that they didn't bother to pay attention to it. Although they didn't know whether this conjecture was correct, Gao Yang couldn't help thinking so.
No matter whether it works or not, Gao Yang feels that he has to stick to it. It's useless to keep the shells and rockets. There are still 2000 shells and rockets waiting to be delivered on board. He just blows them out and pulls them down. Anyway, even if an enemy is killed blindly, he can reduce the enemy's firepower in the next charge.
After a few minutes, the heavy and heavy machine guns stopped firing first. They had to leave the ammunition base covered when launching the charge for a while. After a few minutes, the Rockets also gradually stopped firing. The Rockets also left the ammunition base for a round of salvo, ready to launch salvo when the infantry launched the attack. Only the remaining more than 30 mortars were still bombarding.
Half an hour's artillery preparation time was approaching. When he looked at his watch and was ready to launch the general attack, his communication channel was suddenly filled with all kinds of sounds.
"Sir, the enemy has fired a white flag!"
"I'm a rabbit. I see the enemy's white flag. Repeat, the enemy's white flag!"
It is reasonable to say that the artillery fire preparation has been carried out for more than 20 minutes, and there must be at least thousands of shells, but Gao Yang immediately shouted in the walkie talkie: "stop the artillery fire, stop the artillery fire, no attack without order, everyone, no shooting."
If we can scare the enemy and let him fall without fighting, this is the best outcome Gao Yang has always dreamed of.
Mortars stopped firing one after another, and the battlefield slowly quieted down. At this time, Gao Yang shouted in the walkie talkie: "all commanders, pay attention, don't shoot unless attacked. It's best to end in peace. Pay attention to the new locals who join us, keep an eye on them, whether they are intentional or unintentional, and don't let them destroy the situation."
After that, Gao Yang took a few steps. Under the cover of a pile of bricks and stones, he leaned out his head and looked through a telescope. He found that in the area where the enemy was located, there were indeed several places where he raised the white cloth with something like a stick, and two places were still waving the white cloth. As expected, the enemy was about to surrender.
Soon, the battlefield fell into silence and there was no gunfire at all. At this time, from an enemy building, a soldier wearing German jungle patch camouflage came out, holding a very large white flag in his hand, walked to an open space in the middle of the two fronts and stopped.
After stopping in the open space, the soldier waved a few white flags again, then waved to the place where he came out, and then four more soldiers walked towards the open space with things in their hands.
