    In the city of Mogadishu, more than ten red police snipers were ambushed. They all had standard local black looks and could speak local dialect and Arabic. In order to recruit these people, Qi Yiming also paid more than usual.  Higher prices for snipers.

    Black Hawk Down originally happened at the end of this year, but Qi Yiming revealed the news about Aidid to the Americans in advance. As expected, the Americans, who were eager to achieve some results, fell into this trap and staged this explosive drama again.  .  Not only did Qi Yiming strengthen Aidid's armed forces, but he also sent lone wolf-style snipers to lurk in Mogadishu, preparing to launch a fatal blow against the Americans and increase the US military's strength.  damage.

    A sniper wearing desert camouflage is lying on the roof. He is carrying a complete set of individual sniper auxiliary equipment. This set of fully digital sniper-specific equipment can eliminate the need for sniper auxiliary personnel such as observers when necessary.  , making the sniper team a single person to solve tasks better and more conveniently.

    What he held in his hand was a stick of 2.  mR sniper rifle, the faint cold light of the scope is frightening in the hot desert area, but this cold light is so difficult to detect, in the situation where American soldiers and convoys are surrounded by chaos on the street, on the roof  The sniper is like a cobra waiting for its prey, quiet and deadly.

    Stryker was driving the Hummer desperately to clear the way for the two cars behind him. He no longer cared about whether he would hit the Somalis on the road. He knew that as long as he stayed for a moment, he and his  All the friends left behind were corpses.

    It¡¯s just that his attention was entirely on the road or the enemies beside him, but he didn¡¯t expect that there were people above his head who were preparing to harvest his life.

    Only a crisp gunshot was heard. At a distance of no more than four hundred meters, a large-caliber bullet passed through the windshield of the Humvee and hit Stryker directly in the chest. Even though he was  Wearing a bulletproof vest, the warhead with excessive kinetic energy easily tore his body apart.

    The Humvee that lost its driver turned into a headless fly. It snaked on the road for more than ten meters and then hit the obstacle in front of it. Then it rolled violently. The Humvee behind it did not expect that such a thing would happen.  He suddenly became panicked, and the sudden twisting of the steering wheel caused the car to fly out with inertia. Several Hummers completely lost speed on this street densely populated by Somalis and were surrounded.

    The Red Alert sniper who fired had no intention of seeing what happened to the remaining American soldiers. He put away his equipment and started to attack the next target.

    Where the main force of the U.S. military is located, it is even more difficult for them. The Somalis are surrounding them layer by layer like ants, and they are surrounded by water. However, the U.S. military is unable to find a passage for the time being and can only temporarily fight the Somali militia.  A U.S. military Black Hawk helicopter hovers in the air, shielding and covering the U.S. troops on the ground. The fireman above sits directly on the ammunition box, holding a 6mm Gatling machine gun and continuously firing downwards (that is, a mini-cannon).  .

    Although the Gatling gun has a strong suppression capability, the Somalis are not completely without resistance. Even if they are constantly being mopped down, there are people without firearms behind who pick up the dead man's AK-47 and raise it to the sky.  Shooting, this time made even the US military firepower feel troublesome.

    But the real danger lies in these automatic rifles. A Somali militiaman raised a PP quiver and fired a shot at the Black Hawk helicopter.  The trajectory of the flying rocket was very straight and directly hit the US military helicopter. The hit helicopter staggered and fell from the sky. However, due to the characteristics of the helicopter, although the people on board were injured, they were not alive.  The danger.

    It¡¯s just that the Somalis on the periphery also wanted their lives. U.S. Commander Garrison, who observed this situation through live battlefield conditions, also ordered the Rangers closest to the crash site to quickly approach the crash site and rescue the crew members.  An AH6 attack helicopter quickly flew to the scene of the accident and landed on a nearby street. There were not a large number of Somali militiamen here, but only a few mobs, most of which were unarmed.  The pilot in the killer egg jumped out, used a self-defense pistol to disperse the mob, and at the same time transported the injured to his helicopter. Unfortunately, the killer egg was too small and could not hold too many people.

    Finally, another U.S. military rescue utility helicopter arrived at the scene and lowered the rope, preparing to pick up the injured crew members.  But at this moment, the red alert sniper, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, took action again.  A large-caliber sniper shot hit the root of the Killer Egg's rotor, seriously damaging its power system and making it impossible for the Killer Egg to continue flying into the air.  The other sniper had no moral integrity at all. He no longer even used a sniper rifle. Instead, he pulled out a Feinu 6 individual air defense missile, aimed at the Black Hawk in the sky, and blasted it with a bang.  Shot down from the sky.

    The power of individual air defense missiles is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary PPGs. The debris scattered by the helicopter that exploded in the air not only killed and injured many Somalis,It also caused heavy casualties to the few American soldiers waiting for rescue below. A few guys who were still able to move screamed and ran away from there. Then the helicopter in the sky fell from the sky and shattered into pieces.

    This is not over yet. At a U.S. military convoy assembly area not too far away from here, a 6-ton U.S. military truck is waiting to load and unload the troops and then evacuate. However, the Somalis fired PP arrows one after another.  The truck was completely destroyed and nothing was left.

    Another Black Hawk helicopter covering the convoy preparing to withdraw to the base also suffered a disaster. During the flight, it was hit by a PPG. After struggling for a while, it finally landed on the ground.  Large numbers of Somali militiamen and registrations swarmed in, and the remaining Black Hawk in the sky could only bite the bullet and use suppressive firepower to prevent this group of Somalis from attacking the pilot.

    The goal of the Somalis was also very clear, to capture a few more American soldiers to later exchange for Aidid's captured senior officials, so they fearlessly attacked a few lonely crew members who were still resisting.  The Black Hawk in the sky dropped the two Delta members in an attempt to save these companions, but hundreds of Somali militiamen and mobs could not be saved by the two of them through their personal heroism. In the end, both of them were killed.  , while the crew members were captured by the Somalis.

    Seeing that something was amiss, the Black Hawk helicopter in the sky prepared to evacuate and continue to protect the convoy, but the Red Alert sniper, who had been holding back for too long, would not give him such a chance.  Because of the ultra-low altitude flight, the sniper could even see the pilot clearly. At a distance of two to three hundred meters, the sniper fired again at the pilot. After the bullet broke the bulletproof glass, although the kinetic energy was greatly reduced, it also seriously injured the pilot.  A pilot lost control of the Black Hawk helicopter, becoming the fourth Black Hawk to be destroyed.

    The U.S. military has now completely fallen into a dilemma. It has insufficient troops and limited firepower. Although communication and command are smooth, it is difficult for the U.S. military to make a meal without rice. With limited support and troops, the U.S. military cannot survive in Mogadishu, surrounded by thousands of people.  Do anything.  Due to frequent attacks by Red Alert snipers, the U.S. military's resistance became increasingly ineffective. Most of the crew members of the several downed U.S. helicopters were captured, and a few were shot. However, the U.S. military did not bother to continue rescuing them.

    Because the Somalis have a large number of PP and even have such things as individual air defense missiles, the Americans are very hesitant to continue dispatching helicopters such as Black Hawk. After all, it is millions of dollars of military equipment, and the losses are too high.  No one can take responsibility.

    The various US military squads scattered in Mogadishu are already on the verge of running out of ammunition and food. They urgently need helicopters to transport ammunition, supplies and medical equipment to them, but General Garrison is worried that sending more helicopters will only refresh the situation.  The performance of the Somali militia also made the US military more embarrassed, so they decided to increase the size of the ground troops and quickly break into the city to rescue the trapped US soldiers.

    General Garrison dispatched what little force he had, a full company of the 10th Mountain Division: 150 soldiers in 9 trucks and 2 Humvees, led by Lieutenant Colonel Bill David, to bypass the city.  Rush to the special forces base.  At 9:03 p.m., a U.S. rescue force was formed consisting of most of the Rangers, all Delta members, uninjured Air Force combatants, and elements of the 10th Mountain Division.  At 11:30, the rescue convoy marched towards the city, but due to obstructions and roadblocks from Somali militias everywhere, they could only fight to clear the way while seeking opportunities to rescue their partners who were still struggling.

    Just when the US military convoy was about to enter the first rescue point to rescue several US soldiers trapped in the building, the biggest fireworks show of the night appeared. The advancing convoy did not notice that several red alert snipers were on the road.  An anti-armor mine was placed on the ground, and what was even more sinister was that they had placed about 80 kilograms of explosives nearby earlier, and the fuse was attached to the mine. When a heavy armored vehicle passed over it, not only was the anti-armor mine triggered,  Landmines also triggered high explosives placed in buildings along the street and buried underground.  Half of the street was directly blown up. If the visibility was not poor at night, a mushroom cloud could even be seen. Most of the US soldiers were killed or injured in the explosion, and the convoy completely lost its ability to maneuver.

    After the explosion, all U.S. military operations fell into complete silence, while the howling Somalis went all out to kill or capture the recalcitrant U.S. soldiers in the city, and also captured those U.S. soldiers who had been knocked unconscious by the bombing.

    This is not just the fall of the black eagle, the proud bald eagle has been plucked from its feathers.
