Chapter 60 The Battle of Guantanamo (3)
Arlington County, Virginia, USA, inside the Pentagon. After receiving a call for help from Guantanamo, the Pentagon was in complete chaos. They could never have imagined that someone would dare to attack an American military base. And until now they don't know who their enemy is?
Secretary of Defense Weinberg and President Reagan have already known about this matter, and they are talking on the phone in the conference room to discuss countermeasures. At first, Pentagon officials thought that the Cubans did it, but after contacting the Cuban authorities through various channels, the Pentagon realized that it had made a mistake.
"Come in, Mr. President wants to know what's going on!" As the door of the conference room opened, a group of senior generals were called in and reported the progress of the matter to President Reagan by phone.
"Okay, I want to know how our rescue is going?" President Reagan asked with a serious face.
"Report Mr. President, our fighter planes have already taken off and will reach the combat area within an hour, but according to the information given by the Guantanamo base, there is a large amount of crude oil burning there, so the air contains a lot of Carbon particles, if fighter jets fly at low altitudes, they are likely to be in danger!" A U.S. Air Force brigadier general reported to the president.
"What about the navy, when will the nearest navy ship arrive?" President Reagan asked about the navy when he heard that the air force could not be counted on.
"Mr. President, our guided missile cruiser closest to Guantanamo Bay is still in Haiti. In addition, the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier battle group has also rushed to the sea area where the incident occurred. Blocking the channel, our ships cannot enter Guantanamo Bay!" An admiral of the navy replied ashamedly.
"Gentlemen, how can I explain to the taxpayers that you have said such a thing? Our soldiers are in dire straits. Congress invests a lot of money for you every year. Feel your conscience..." President Reagan said to These idiots in the Ministry of Defense are dissatisfied with such evasion. He knows that if things go on like this, he will suffer the biggest political crisis since he took office.
"Mr. President, our ranger troops are willing to go to the battle site and try our best to rescue our comrades!" At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and a brigadier general walked into the conference room. His appearance looks very resolute, and he doesn't look like the same kind of person as these white-faced scholars in the Ministry of Defense.
"Who are you?" It definitely takes a lot of courage for someone to volunteer to stand up at such a time, because he has to bear the huge pressure! President Reagan did not intend to blame this soldier. On the contrary, if this person does not talk big words, Mr. President is willing to give him this opportunity.
"Ranger Brigadier General Harmon would like to report to you. Mr. President, my subordinates are in Haiti now, and we can airdrop to the enemy's rear!" Harmon said firmly.
"You're crazy! That's under the control of the Cuban government. Do you want to declare war on Cuba?" Brigadier General Harmon's suggestion was immediately questioned. The guys who were silent in the venue just now started attacking Harmon in a swarm. Harmon's expression remained unchanged, and he just stood there and let his colleagues ridicule him. He didn't care what these people thought. Fighting is all about surprise, and now there is absolutely no way except to land on the Cuban territory.
"Brigadier General Harmon, I approve your request, let's do it!" President Reagan thought for a few seconds and agreed to this proposal. It is unwise to conflict with Cuba, but if things are allowed to continue like this, Then the longer the time drags on, the more people will die. This is unacceptable to the president himself and the American people.
Having received the authorization, Harmon immediately left the conference room. In fact, long before Harmon entered the conference room,
He has already ordered his men to go to the firefight area of Guantanamo Bay.
While the Americans were deploying intensively, Boris also organized the motley crew in his hands to start landing. At this moment, Lebed has already felt the proximity of the freighter with the most intense delivery. He and Boris will lead people to search from the bases on both sides of Huanwan respectively.
The Katyusha rockets destroyed most of the defenses on the Cuban side of the Guantanamo base, and now it is not impossible to rely on infantry to attack. But the scope of this base is really too big. According to the map, the area of this area is about 170 square kilometers. Lebed's cruise ship ramming tactic only destroyed the base's pier and part of the airport. In addition, there are large blank areas that are still unscathed. In Lebed's view, the danger of landing operations is still extremely high.
But while Lebed's tanker tactics blocked Guantanamo Bay, it also blocked his own way of life. Members of these guerrillas were unaware of the attack on the tanker. With red eyes now, few people would think about retreating.
Now there are only two roads before Lebed, either surrender to the Cuban government, or rush out of the land with the corpses of the US troops. In fact, no one needs to choose at all. Everyone knows how the Cuban government treats drug dealers.
Everyone spread out, don't get together, don't get together, pay attention to the enemy's firepower. Lebed wore a balaclava covering his face, leaving only his eyes and mouth exposed! This appearance is exactly the same as those Chechen Ingush guerrillas in the Soviet Union.
As Lebed's troops accelerated their pace, they finally encountered resistance from the garrison in the base. After a few shots, Lebed and the American troops fought together.
"Don't entangle too much, use a flamethrower to open the way!" Liebie gave an order, and several guerrillas armed with flamethrowers lined up and lay down on the spot, and then a wall of fire rushed towards the building U.S. defense lines. The air at this time is rich in flammable volatiles. Flamethrowers can do more with less. It was just a charge, and all the U.S. troops rushing over from the opposite side turned into burning men.
Lebed looked anxiously at the watch on his wrist. Forty minutes had passed since the attack was launched. The longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for Lebed. Lebed couldn't help frowning, and shouted to his subordinates, hurry up and move forward, we must find Ivankov before the enemy's reinforcements feel it, and then escape from here. ...
