When the two ladies left, the natural smile on Sattler's face disappeared in an instant. He looked at the staff member sharply and said:
"How is the battle going? How many casualties did we have? What is the specific equipment damage?"
The attack by militants that the staff came to report just now was certainly not some dramatic plot staged by Sattler, performed for these two women to watch, and it was trying to achieve some purpose. At the same time, it was not the self-directed one as suggested by Wang Ye. Self-acting behavior, it is real!
So to be honest, Sattler did not expect that the first attack would come so quickly. It was beyond his expectation, but it can also be seen from it how angry the Soviet Union and Kberg were!
After hearing what Sattler said, the staff member said with a solemn expression:
"A total of forty-seven people on our side were killed and more than 130 were injured. Fires broke out in two oil depots, there was a problem with the oil pipeline and a fire broke out. There was also a blowout fire in an oil well. Fire-fighting work is currently underway."
Along with the staff's voice, Sattler's face became darker and darker. It was really a huge loss!
Even though Sattler had been mentally prepared for a long time, since he wanted to use the Soviet Union to achieve the purpose of not increasing oil production, he had even made plans. If the Soviet Union did not take action, he would find a way to find someone to light the oil wells and cause the oil wells to be burned. The illusion of an attack.
But when this happened, when one oil well was directly ignited and two oil depots were ignited, Sattler still couldn't help but feel distressed. Needless to say, the oil depots contained a large amount of extracted crude oil. , hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil were directly ignited, not to mention that there was also an oil well that was ignited. It is very difficult to put out the fire in such a self-exploding oil well, and it will take at least ten days and a half to do so. , the oil that is spewed out and burned every day is another huge amount of dollars!
Not to mention, this is still a situation where the situation does not expand. After all, if there is a leak in the oil depot or the oil well, a large amount of oil that is not burned as quickly as possible will form an oil lake on the ground, covered with billowing flames and thick smoke. If other equipment in the surrounding area is ignited, the losses will be somersaulting upwards. Tens of millions of dollars will not be able to stop it. Add in the reconstruction project, which will cost at least hundreds of millions of dollars to start!
"Damn it! Put out the fire as soon as possible! Pay attention to safety and strengthen patrols."
"By the way, where are those damn militants? How many of them died? Don't tell me that they escaped unscathed after the attack was completed!"
Sattler forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and asked the standing staff member. There was a hint of joy on the staff member's face, and he nodded quickly and said:
"Your Majesty said this is the only good news."
"According to reports from the front line, we killed more than 200 militants in total, and less than 300 managed to escape!"
After hearing this, Sattler finally showed a hint of joy on his face, breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Well done. It seems that the construction of the royal army in the past two years has been quite effective!"
"By the way, which oil well has the problem? Is it mine? How long did the battle last in total? Our troop support was very timely!"
Regarding Sattler's statement, the staff member shook his head and said with a complicated expression:
"Your Highness, I'm afraid there is a gap between the facts and your guess!"
As he spoke, he walked to the Saudi map nearby, pointed to a location and said:
"The oil well that was attacked is located here, the Kamal small oil base."
"His Majesty and the ministers suspect that this attack, or the origin of the militants, has a lot to do with our northwest neighbor Jordan, and there may even be shadows of Syria and Lebanon behind it."
Under the guidance of the staff, I saw that the location that was attacked was located in the northwest region of Saudi Arabia, not too far from the border line. The overall area was an overlapping area of low mountains, deserts and plains.
Suddenly Sattler's eyes couldn't help but wrinkle up, he thought for a moment and said:
"There seem to be a few of my oil wells around here, right?"
In response, the staff member nodded and said:
"Yes, Your Highness."
"And compared to the scale of the militants' attack, the losses this time are already very small. Even if the support is not timely, the entire oil base may be turned into a sea of fire, and the support force is not ours at all. army."
In Sattler's curious, confused and stunned expression, the staff member sighed and said:
"It's your organization's safety and fire protection patrols for petroleum equipment and pipelines."
"The whole thing happened like this, an hour ago"
Afterwards, the staff began to explain the whole thing to Sattler vividly.
Time goes back to an hour ago, at the Kamal small oil base affiliated with Aramco in the northwest region of Saudi Arabia. It was 12:20 noon local time, which was the time for workers to have lunch.
"Buzz buzz!"
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded, and everyone in the restaurant and at their posts were startled by the sound!
"what's the situation?"
The base management staff who were eating in the duty room almost got stuck on a sheep bone when they heard this sound. Then they quickly grabbed the phone and connected to the post that sounded the alarm. It was the observation post of the base. There was a rush of noise coming from there. the sound of:
"Report! Unknown armed men have appeared in the northwest and are rushing towards us!"
Hearing this, the entire duty room instantly went into a state of panic, and then began to implement the highest level of emergency measures. In the whole process, the only praiseworthy thing is that their reaction speed is relatively fast. After all, here Being in an area close to the border, considering the various situations that may arise, rehearsals must be conducted from time to time.
The entire Kamal small oil base has more than 20 oil wells, more than 30 oil depots, and a total of more than 2,000 staff, including more than 100 full-time security forces, and a lot of weapons and equipment. When an emergency occurs, oil workers are transformed into soldiers to carry out armed resistance with firepower.
As for their emergency measures, it is very simple to say.
That is for the staff to immediately implement an emergency shutdown operation. The first step is to close the valves inside the oil wells and no longer receive oil from the ground. Then the oil transportation pipelines begin to close to ensure that if damage occurs, large-scale leaks will not be caused. , and finally, after completing these operations, the engineers and workers in the base can choose to stay in the base and wait for rescue, or retreat immediately by car according to the situation and command!
However, there was no time for them to start running away.
"boom!"
As a line of white smoke streaked across the sky, a rocket directly hit an oil depot. In an instant, oil leaked and caught fire in the oil depot. Suddenly, red flames surged into the sky, and the sun was eclipsed!
"Get your arms! Get your arms! Fire!"
"Fire now! Fire freely!"
Near the northern wall and lookout post of the base, the voice of the security chief screamed, and the professional security personnel, as well as the workers who had received simple training to pick up weapons, opened fire!
Then the exchange of fire between the two sides directly entered a fierce battle!
Of course, although the guns were fired very enthusiastically, because the firing distance was too far, the casualties on both the militants and the defense of the oil base were very slight.
The only ones that caused a lot of damage were the gas tank mortars and steel pipe rockets equipped by the militants!
"Bang bang bang!"
Along with bursts of explosions, gas tanks and steel pipe rockets were continuously fired into the base. The accuracy of these weapons was very poor. In addition, the space inside the base was also very large, and the various equipment were not closely distributed. So the probability of hitting is not high.
However, just because the probability is low does not mean there is none!
"boom!"
When another gas tank mortar hit the ground, it happened to hit an oil well. It was obvious that the oil well had not completely stopped working. Then there was a violent explosion. The petroleum gas that rushed out instantly turned the place into a A burning torch, billowing smoke rising into the sky, heat waves scorching and beating everything around it. At the same time, there was also a problem with the internal valve, resulting in the oil well being completely unable to be closed, and all we could do was wait for the subsequent forced fire extinguishing!
And the exchange of fire between the two sides continues!
At this moment.
In Sattler's office, hearing the staff's vivid narration, Sattler couldn't help but interrupt, and then asked suspiciously:
"You just said that after discovering the enemy's situation, the staff on duty immediately contacted the nearest military base, hoping to carry out air and ground reinforcements. Logically speaking, the distance is only two hundred kilometers. Even if it takes a certain amount of time for ground personnel to pass, but The fighter jets should go by very quickly, right?”
"Why did it end up that the firefight had lasted for forty minutes and no fighter jets showed up?"
Hearing what Sattler said, the staff member also said helplessly:
"Your Highness, things are so helpless sometimes."
"After receiving the alarm, our base decided to quickly organize fighter jets to take off and conduct air strikes against enemy armed personnel to relieve the pressure on the oil base. We also decided to send ground troops for reinforcements."
"But the problem is that because the order to dispatch was too urgent, the ground crew made a mistake when refueling the fighter jets. The fuel sprayed outside, and then for some reason, it caused a fire."
“In the end, the entire refueling truck was burned to ashes, and the fuel that flowed out caused the flames to cover the entire parking area. The ground crew could only carry out firefighting operations, which caused the takeoff to be delayed. Even now, it is estimated that they are not ready for takeoff. Prepare"
At that moment, Sattler was completely stunned. He suddenly remembered what Wang Ye had said to him a few days ago, that is, if Iraq did not repay the money by then, he would quickly be prepared to give up asking for the loan, or even prepare to continue to pay. Support the construction, otherwise you will be beaten!
But he never expected that things could be so outrageous!
"Funny! Ridiculous! Shameful! Tragic! Shameful! Disgraceful!"
"I'm afraid the Americans are already laughing at the performance of our soldiers, right? Damn it! Bastard! Son of a bitch! Idiot!"
In an instant, a series of words spewed out from Sattler's mouth. From the blue veins popping up on his forehead, you can see how angry he is at this moment. This matter is really outrageous!
"What happened next? Keep talking!"
Sattler sighed, and suddenly felt that his shoulders became extra heavy. After this year, during the spring and summer handover period next year, he will officially come back as a senior officer of the army and be responsible for the management of the army. But now Nowadays, the situation seems to be very, very pessimistic.
"Perhaps Wang Ye is right. If we can't defeat these armed men, then there will only be constant surrender in the future."
"Or, we really should use these armed personnel to train the troops properly!"
Sattler sighed and heard the staff member continue:
"After the alarm was sounded, the news was not only passed to our military base, but also to other nearby oil areas and oil wells. Several of our oil wells happened to be in the nearby area."
"You previously ordered us to purchase some rotorcraft from the black market for security and fire patrols. After learning about this situation, our oil well personnel took out a total of four rotorcraft and took off for patrols and firefighting. support."
"Because the distance was less than 50 kilometers, they quickly flew to the vicinity of Kamal's small oil base, and then saw the militants who were still exchanging fire with our security personnel and armed oil workers."
"However, the situation of the defense is no longer optimistic at this moment, because the militants discovered that the use of gas tank mortars and steel pipe rockets could not cause sufficient damage to the interior of the base without sufficient targeting."
"They decided to breach the base first and then go inside and destroy it."
"Faced with attacks from gas tank mortars and steel pipe rockets, our security forces suffered serious casualties and had to start retreating. The militants have already reached near the outer wall."
Time goes back half an hour to the Kamal small oil base, the northern outer wall.
"Captain, Asiga is dead!"
"He's dead! He's dead!"
Accompanied by screams and cries, the captain in charge of the entire security was a bearded veteran soldier. At this moment, his heart had sunk to the bottom. The number of enemies was greater than that of the defenders here. At least twice. Among the more than 100 full-time security personnel here, only about 20 are serious veterans. The others are ordinary people who have undergone simple training. In essence, they are no different from the remaining 200 or so oil workers. !
Under normal circumstances, it's okay to play with guns, but when it comes to the battlefield, it's just a piece of camel shit!
"Retreat! Retreat! Everyone obeys the order and cross fire to cover the retreat!"
In the end, he followed the internal principles he had used when he served in the army and chose to retreat when faced with an enemy he could not resist. When his voice sounded, not to mention cross cover and the like, everyone ran faster than a desert lizard. !
"Damn it!"
He fired two shots at will, turned around and ran. After all, he was not running now. When the enemy rushed to the wall, there was a buffer zone of 100 meters between the wall and the base building. This area was really unobstructed. , being seen by the enemy here will definitely lead to death!
"Charge! Kill them!"
At this moment, the voices of armed men were getting closer and closer. The captain wished he had four legs like a cheetah. At the same time, accompanied by the extremely hot and petroleum-smelling air around him, he felt the burning sensation in his lungs getting stronger and stronger. He could hardly breathe, and his running speed gradually dropped.
Just when he seemed to have heard the sound of the enemy rushing up the wall, at that moment, he felt complete despair, and seemed to have predicted the next scene. In the next second, he would be shot in the back, like a miserable wretch. Same, throw yourself to the ground!
Just when he couldn't help but burst into tears, suddenly there was a vague buzzing sound above his head!
"Bang bang bang!"
The sound came from the sky!
The next second, he saw four small aircraft flying over from the southern area. At the same time, although the target was too small to see clearly what kind of aircraft it was, the shining fire still meant that the other side was firing from the sky!
"Boom boom boom!"
Almost an instant later, there was an explosion sound from behind the wall, accompanied by wailing and screaming sounds at the same time!
At this moment, in the sky, a young man on the rotorcraft couldn't help laughing!
"Hahaha! Look! Look! They fell to the ground! One by one!"
"Damn bastards, all die!"
He screamed as he pulled the trigger of the machine gun grenade launcher in front of him again!
"Bang bang bang!"
Along with the roar, grenades one after another were splashed on the ground like rain. At least 300 of the militant team of at least five or six hundred people had already rushed up and were preparing to climb over the wall. They were directly attacked. This wave of grenade attacks has blinded me!
From the perspective of the sky, groups of militants seemed to be sweeping across the lawn with sharp knives, being harvested by grenades one by one, and then suddenly fell to the ground!
"Save ammo! Save ammo!"
"We don't have much ammunition!"
Accompanied by the roar of the driver behind him, the young man no longer fired violently and continuously, but people were still falling one after another below. Then the militants began to scatter. Some people shot into the sky, but facing the flying height For a patrol rotorcraft that can reach more than 1,200 meters, ordinary rifle shooting is useless and ineffective. Under such circumstances, many militants turned around and ran away!
"Eventually, they ran away."
"Only at least 200 corpses are left, and the detailed inventory has not yet been completed."
In the office, the staff member finally said this. Hearing this, Sattler's expression was complicated. He sighed, took off the scarf on his head, threw it on the table, and grabbed his hair hard. Finally, he fell down on the chair, looking anxious and irritable like a trapped lion.
"Damn it! That friend of mine really got it right."
"The combat effectiveness of our troops is approximately zero!"
Hearing this, the office fell into silence. Finally, the staff member hesitated for a moment, and then couldn't help but said:
"But I have to say that gyroplanes are really powerful, especially against these armed men."
"Mr. Wang Ye once said that this is called beating the high and beating the low, beating the stupid."
Finally, the staff member's tone was distorted and they imitated Wang Ye's tone at that time.
