"How's it going with Idris?"
"We're almost ready!"
"What did the military police say?"
"The two battalions of the first regiment have agreed to our conditions and executed the war supervisors sent from above, but the first battalion is a bit difficult!"
"What's the problem?"
"The first battalion is all Habré's diehards, and the commander is the enemy's nephew, so they can't instigate rebellion!"
"Then give up and leave them alone! Let Idris' people handle it!"
Although the main body of the coup team is Idris, Shadow Company is also very busy. Shepard is betting all his cards on Idris, and naturally he does not want anything to happen during the transfer of power.
In order to reduce as much collateral damage as possible, he sent his subordinates to frequently contact those military police officers who were still performing their duties faithfully. Although there were many diehards among them, there were also some who were flexible in their stance.
When things have developed like this, those military police officers are not fools. They naturally know the balance of strength between the enemy and ourselves. Many people are uneasy. They want to surrender, but they are afraid of being liquidated if they surrender. And Idris's troops are in N'Djame. On the outskirts of the city, the military police did not dare to flee, so they could only hold on like this.
However, after the representatives of the Shadow Company found these people, the military police soon had another option. They could rise up on the battlefield. Idris would not liquidate them later or persecute them. They would be tried in a military court. After that, the National Army troops integrated into the north garrisoned the defense line and served as the vanguard in the next conflict in Libya and Chad to repay the previous mistakes.
Correspondingly, the military police will not destroy the city's infrastructure, nor will they resist when Idris's troops enter. They will peacefully hand over equipment and weapons, as well as bases and other facilities.
After reaching an agreement with a considerable number of military police units, Idris, who had completed the reorganization of the troops at hand outside the city, immediately issued an order to march.
Subsequently, an armored company serving as the vanguard took the lead in passing the toll gate of the N'Djamena Highway and officially entered the city.
Following the armored troops are a large number of motorized infantry consisting of various wheeled vehicles including pickup trucks. Although these people may not necessarily have strong combat effectiveness, most of them have several years of military experience. Therefore, in times of turmoil, , can be used to ensure order in N'Djamena.
As for fighting, we can only look at the tank company at the head. Their equipment is relatively complex. There are four tanks in a company, with three models. The leader is a T55, which was captured from Libya, and an OF40, which is also from Libya. were abandoned in the desert by the Libyan tank soldiers and then picked up by the Chadian army. The remaining two were second-hand 47 tanks eliminated by France.
Although the tanks are of various types, fortunately these tank soldiers have all received training in French military schools, so there is no problem in controlling these equipment.
The military police in N'Djamena were unprepared for the attack by the National Army. The police who were originally used for warning situations ran away before they even saw the shadow of the tanks, and those military police stationed on the defense line also arrived early. Betrayal.
It can be said that N'Djamena is a big funnel at the moment. Those soldiers who are still loyal to Habré's regime only occupy a few important strongholds, such as Habré's official residence, the National Army headquarters, the Gendarmerie headquarters and two other places in the city. The military police in the barracks and other areas obediently put down their weapons and waited for the arrival of the National Army.
The tank troops fought until they reached the National Army headquarters before they encountered real resistance. The military police set up a 105mm French howitzer at the National Army headquarters. The artillery used direct aiming and stared at the intersection in front of the headquarters. When the T55 tank drove out of the intersection, the commander almost peed out of fear.
Sitting in the commander's seat, he kept urging the gunner to turn the turret, and at the same time ordered the loader to load an OF412 grenade, while the military police opposite were also busy loading.
Both sides completed loading almost at the same time, and then opened fire at the same time, but the T55 gunner was a little too impatient and fired the shell before the gun was fully aimed. Therefore, the grenade fired by the T55 flew over the head of the gun crew and flew away. Entering the porch of the headquarters building, by the way
Two unlucky gendarmes were killed.
The shells fired by the howitzer team hit the T55 tank firmly.
The huge explosion made the tank crews in the tank feel as if the ground was shaking. The loader who was unsteady even hit his head and was bleeding. However, the blow did not penetrate the turret, but only smashed a fist-sized hole on the armor. At the same time, the fragments also damaged the gunner's optical sight and coaxial machine gun, and knocked away the commander's anti-aircraft machine gun.
"Is Tank okay?"
"Still working!"
"Then continue loading..."
As soon as the commander finished speaking, he saw the loader whose face was covered with blood and was in great pain. He cursed secretly, picked up the AK rifle beside him, opened the hatch cover above his head, and pointed it at the car that was about to load the second round. The group launched.
The military police were startled by the sudden bullets, but they still hid behind the gun mantlet and completed loading the second round.
"Shit!"
The driver got back into the car in fright and shouted.
"Second shot!"
This time the crew did not suffer any further damage, but there was a problem with the turret rotation device of the T55 tank, and lubricating oil sprayed from the broken pipe into the gunner's face.
However, the military police did not have the chance to load the third round, because the second OF40 tank rushed over.
The Italian-made tank saved the first tank by blasting its gun into the air with an armor-piercing round.
Then, as if to vent their anger, the T55, which had recovered from the chaos, then launched a frantic bombardment at the headquarters building by aiming from the car body. The military police stationed here did not expect that the other party would hit it so hard. Seeing the front of the building The room was almost destroyed by the opponent. The frightened military police immediately raised their weapons and waved the white flag.
When the follow-up motorized infantry arrived, they saw two tanks parked on the left and right on the road. There was also a tank driver with a black face and dirty body standing in the car on the left. At this moment, he He was cursing and bandaging the wounds of his companion whose face was covered with blood.
Their commander, holding an AK rifle, directed dozens of disgraced military police to sit down in front of the tank.
After seeing the infantry arriving, the commander did not forget to laugh at the other party.
"I see, I can do it without you!"
"You see, the price is a bit high, right?"
The infantry commander replied, pointing to the spot on the tank turret where the shot had been fired.
