Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 692: attack the Congo
"No country can save Mobutu now. Who does he think he is? Can he be involved in scenes like the Cold War? As long as either the United States or the Soviet Union disappears, he will be unlucky. And the disappearing country must It's the United States." Serov stood up arrogantly and walked around the table twice, shouting, "Teach the third world countries a lesson, kill Mobutu, and cut off the mineral reserve base in the Western world, now, immediately..."
“We have to understand that under Mobutu’s rule, the DRC was in chaos. Hospitals were underserved and poorly equipped, basically unable to operate, and medical staff had no income and were unwilling to work. There were not many roads in the DRC. And lack of maintenance, potholes, very dangerous. Zaire has a well-developed water network and good conditions for water transportation development, but in fact there is almost no water transportation industry. The domestic unemployment rate is extremely high, even higher than before independence. Due to inflation, many The real wage level of people is only one-tenth of what it was at the time of independence. Many citizens are chronically hungry, and 40% of the population of the capital Kinshasa suffers from severe malnutrition. In rural areas, agricultural output is very poor, with only 1% of the population. The land is cultivated. The whole country is only for the service of a very small number of elites, and most people's lives are completely neglected. Finding food for themselves has become a busy thing for most Zaire people." While tapping Table Shelov recounted in an infectious tone, "In this case, our support for Sudan is not aggression, but liberation. I not only hope that our military advisory group in Sudan will understand this, but also hope that the Sudan People's Army will understand this. Know what we're fighting for."
"We want to liberate the world. As a true communist, we cannot just compromise like the socialists and forget to defend ourselves. Nor can we, like the Trotskyists, underestimate the difficulty of world revolution. , but we should remember that we can temporarily compromise in the face of difficulties, but we must never give up our ideals. A person, without ideals, is no different from animals. This is not a big truth, but a truth that affects our life and death. In this At some point, I hope to have a drink to relax." Serov opened a bottle of vodka and gulped it down in a very rare gulp. The sound of clucking caused the members of the KGB Presidium to stare at them. They all knew that their chairman seldom drank alcohol. of.
boom! The empty bottle was smashed on the table by the initiator, Serov hiccupped comfortably, and said to the other members of the KGB presidium, "For many years, I have been waiting for our offensive plan, and today is the easiest time for me in ten years. One day, the humiliation the Americans have given us will not continue. I declare that the first step of the liberation war in southern Africa has officially begun, and it will be carried out at the same time as the war of liberation in Southeast Asia, and no one can stop us.”
"Walk with justice, sniff out and eradicate traitors." The KGB Presidium passed the resolution and immediately sent it to the Kremlin to wait for the ruling. This is the unanimous resolution of the KGB Presidium.
"Today, we will give the Americans a great deal, and let them know who is in charge in this world." After Brezhnev finished reviewing it, he threw the whole plan on the table and said, "Comrades, what do you think."
"Only in the immortal victory of communism can human beings move towards a better tomorrow. We compromise, constantly compromise, only in exchange for the American's pressing step by step, now is the time. Let them know what is human beings "The future of the Supreme Soviet." Shelepin, chairman of the Supreme Soviet, shouted, "I know Yura, this is his motivation to support him to live. People always have ideals, like us cadres who shoulder the hope of the country, it is for ideals and live."
Brezhnev, Shelepin, and Kosygin looked at each other and said at the same time, "Approval, the plan is implemented..."
The telegram was then sent to Khartoum, and was delivered to the Soviet military advisory group of the southern front of the Sudan People's Army through KGB Vice-Chairman Zinev. On June 12, there had been a week of fine days in the border area between Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Sudan announced that it will hold a situational exercise in the border area with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but Selam also met with the special envoys of the African Union and several countries, expressing the hope that the Democratic Republic of the Congo would make concessions and ensure the living rights of the Sudanese-speaking people on the border with Sudan, otherwise the Sudanese government would face huge consequences. The pressure is not as explained by the black southerners in the country.
At 2:00 midnight on June 13, Khartoum time, the soldiers of the Sudan People's Army in various military camps were called together. The Soviet military advisory group announced the battle plan to the commanders of the divisions. A series of signatures of Sultan's rulers.
All the troops have been assembled at this time. At 3:30 in the morning, the 150,000 Sudan People's Army on the front line hundreds of kilometers between Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo was notified to prepare for battle immediately. Just now, their commander received the latest news from Khartoum. He ordered them to attack the country that had been threatening Sudan's security, that is, the opposite Congo. At the same time, it will complete the liberation of the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and prevent the dictatorship of the Democratic Republic of the Congo from oppressing the people.
Following Seram's order, the Air Force of the Sudan People's Army, which had already assembled on the border, scrambled into the air with 150 fighter jets of various types, heading towards various airports in the border area. The KGB of the Soviet Union has already investigated the facts and facts. The SPLA Air Force knows exactly how much anti-aircraft firepower each airport has, how many planes are parked, and what aircraft are parked. Now these fighter jets and bombers in the air, all they need to do is let the air force in Mobutu, Congo, be blown to the ground without being in the air.
This is definitely not hidden from the ears of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The two sides are at war with each other in the border area. Although Mobutu believes that the Sudan will not dare to do it, the necessary defense measures will definitely not be less, but it is too late, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo has no time to evacuate the plane to the airstrip. , a large number of pilots remained asleep the entire time. As a result, it helped the Sudan People's Army Air Force's raid on the side, allowing the People's Army Air Force's raid to achieve almost perfect offensive results.
"This is the 3rd Air Force of the People's Army. It is very smooth. The raging fire on the ground can prove the perfection of the air strike!" Half an hour later, the Sudan People's Army Air Force dispatched sent back exciting news.
"In order to complete the country's strategy, all the comrades in the military advisory group of the Sudan People's Army must follow the Sudan People's Army to attack. The party and the country are watching you. We cannot let the motherland put hope on us in vain." In Khartoum Zinev, who stayed up all night waiting, issued a death order to the Soviet military advisory group in Sudan.
It is impossible for the Soviet military advisory group to command the Sudan People's Army to destroy the DRC, but in the border battle, in the first phase of the battle plan to destroy the 100,000 Congolese troops deployed by the DRC on the northern border, Zinev must win a complete victory, only in this way he In order to return home without any scruples, and not be crushed by Zweigong.
Under the command of the Soviet military advisory group, the Sudan People's Army crossed the border between Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in a big way in the early morning. The hero who crossed the border first and took the lead in consolidating the position was not the T54 tank used by the Soviet Union all the time, but specially considered Sudan. The waterway amphibious tank used just after the rainy season.
Fighting at night is not the strength of the Sudan People's Army, it belongs to the soldiers who know the local area very well. What is good for the Sudan People's Army is that the soldiers of the Congolese Army can only be regarded as average, far from being comparable to the Vietnamese guerrillas in the Vietnam battlefield. , which gave the Sudan People's Army an additional boost.
"For more than a decade, the DRC led by Mobutu has been on the front line against the Soviet Union. Now is the time to end this farce, take down Kinshasa, and liberate the country. Let this give the people of the country a dignified life." Lieutenant General Igor gave encouraging advice to the 150,000 Sudan People's Army.
The military supplies that have already accumulated in the border areas can be enough for the Sudan People's Army to conduct operations for half a year. Advance preparation has always been an important consideration of the Soviet Union's strategy. This kind of combat preparation is also carried out on the borders of the Soviet Union. Starting from the discoloration of Sudan, the Soviet Union also began to influence the new country of Sudan to make the same preparations as itself. Now the outbreak of the war has proved how necessary such preparations are.
This is the Sudan People's Army under the command of the Soviet military advisory group. The military advisory group is the soul of this army. Zinev and Igor want to annihilate the border troops of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the border areas, gain the confidence to defeat the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the war, and cause changes.
For the Soviet Union, Congo is one of the important mineral bases in the Western world. It is good to occupy it. Even if it cannot be occupied, it can be destroyed. Destroying this country will not affect the Soviet Union. Under this consideration, Soviet tactics can guarantee great flexibility.
Anyway, in the eyes of the Soviet Union, this is just a proxy war. Taking advantage of the fact that the United States is seriously injured in Vietnam, the Soviet Union should complete its own strategy.
It was always early morning around the equator, and an hour after the attack started, the night had passed and dawn had come. On the border between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan, you can see the mighty march of the Sudan People's Army. The soldiers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo saw the massive attack of the Sudan People's Army, they simply compared the number and fled immediately. The progress was unexpectedly smooth.
"This is not a battle between mercenaries and government forces, but a contest between the regular armies of the two countries. From the two-hour battle, it seems that the black soldiers in Congo are not prepared for a regular battle." This is a Soviet military adviser to the Headquarters report. (To be continued~^~)
