The destruction of Tumomba's entire army was not a problem for Nick Zirand, who was in charge of this work by the CIA. He took this opportunity to integrate the "National Defense People's Congress" and the "M23 Movement" local armed forces in South Kivu and North Kivu Province. The "National Defense People's Congress" that was originally quite resistant to the integration action secretly promoted by the CIA. This time, due to the loss of the elite Tumomba brigade, he suddenly lost the ability to compete with the "M23 Movement" in military power.

Therefore, with the integration of the Rwandan government, a chess piece controlled by the CIA, the local armed forces of the "National Defense People's Congress" and the "M23 Movement" that were rampant in South Kivu and North Kivu provinces officially completed the merger. These two armed forces were originally composed of Tutsi refugees who fled to the Democratic Republic of Congo in former Rwanda. A large number of soldiers among them were soldiers and militias who defected to the Democratic Republic of Congo by former Rwanda government forces, and had close ties with the Rwandan government.

After the Americans controlled the new Rwandan government, a large number of Tutsi refugees returned to Rwanda. However, many refugees remained, and a few ambitious people used the defected soldiers of these Tutsi refugees to achieve warlord separatism in the Kivu region of the Democratic Congo.

The two strongest armed forces among these warlords are the "National Defense People's Congress" and the "M23 Movement". They have formed a very solid territory in the northeastern region of the Congo, and can even allow local warlords like Kazakurtu, who have not surrendered to the Chinese and Tanzania military.

After the "National Congress of Defense of the People" and the "M23 Movement" merged into the "Congo People's League", Ngalam, the leader of the "M23 Movement", became the chairman. Kaso Sabi, the former brigade commander of the "M23 Movement", who lucky enough to lead the entire army to safely flee back to South Kivu Province, was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the "Congo People's League" and the reintegrated First Brigade commander, and his soldiers were expanded to 9 infantry battalions, totaling more than 3,500 people.

The first brigade of the "Congo Defence People's Alliance" formed by the two major local separatist armed forces was to attack Kasso Kurtu again in the planning of the CIA. For this reason, the CIA mobilized a large number of light and heavy weapons from Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi, which were under the control of the Americans, to re-arm the brigade of Kasso Shabi.

With the intervention of Nick Zirand, the US African Command sent military advisers to train Kasso Shabi's troops, especially their newly formed heavy firepower 105 Howitzer Battalion. Nick Zirand directly mobilized 24 M119 105mm light howitzers from the US garrison to strengthen Kasso Shabi's long-range artillery firepower. The 105 howitzer battalion was organized into three artillery companies, each artillery company equipped with 8 M119 105mm light howitzers.

The M119 105mm light howitzer has a strong power, long range and light weight. It is one of the main supporting heavy firepowers for the US Airborne Division and Air Assault Division. It can be fully driven under the traction of a pickup truck. It has a range of up to 14 kilometers, which is by no means comparable to the mortars obtained by Katha Courto now.

It can be said that when the First Brigade of Kaso Sabi obtained such a 105th howitzer battalion, its heavy firepower completely overwhelmed Kacourtu's mortar firepower. However, the use of these howitzers can be taught overnight. Nick Zirand simply manipulated the Rwandan government to send relevant personnel from the regular army to form this artillery battalion so that it can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Regarding these changes in the Kivu region, Ka Kurtu sent his men to a low level and cannot reach the upper-level figures of the "Congo Defence People's Alliance", so he did not know that his enemies had been completely renewed and had brand new combat power.

Therefore, after more than two weeks, Kasso Shabi led his troops to go south again. Although the Winglong UAV sent by the 86th Infantry Brigade discovered Kasso Shabi's troops in advance, Cai Zhongxiao had no choice but to do anything, because this time, Kasso Shabi's army had guidance, and set the artillery position more than 10 kilometers away from Lukengo. Then, Kasso Shabi's infantry battalion also stopped and surrounded the three layers of the artillery position inside and three layers outside the artillery position, and was in a position of destroying the Lukengo position first and then advancing.

Seeing this extremely unfavorable situation, Cai Zhongxiao quickly asked Ka Kurtu's troops to retreat. Because Ka Kurtu's front-line position construction did not consider the possibility of large-scale 105 howitzer attacks, so there were almost no anti-aircraft facilities, and staying on the position was equivalent to waiting for death.

When Cai Zhongxiao discovered that the U.S. predator unmanned reconnaissance aircraft appeared at the forefront of the position, he knew that the situation was hopeless. With such things, he commanded the attack landing point for artillery soldiers, facing Kaso Shabi's superior forces and artillery attacks, he relied on Kat. Kurtu's more than 1,000 people in Rukengo can't defend it no matter what.

So Cai Zhongxiao decisively asked Ka Kurtu to retreat. Although Ka Kurtu was very unwilling to give up, he still retreated the main force at Cai Zhongxiao's insistence. When the whistling shells landed on the front line of Lukengo and the machine gun fortifications left on the position were flattened, Ka Kurtu, who was hiding in the distance and refused to leave, was frightened. Ka Kurtu was covered with such fierce artillery fire for the first time. In his opinion, this was simply as terrifying as the end of the world. If he had not just followed Cai Zhongxiao's advice to withdraw most of the main force, his elite force might have been reimbursed half of his elite force on the position.

Because after the first round of artillery attacks, there was almost no complete thing left. "Lieutenant Colonel Cai, what should we do now?" Ka Kortu was already scared by the enemy's fierce artillery fire and sweated all over, and no longer had the calmness he used to on weekdays. Such firepower was definitely not something his troops could compete with. Lukengo obviously could not be saved, but in Ka Kortu's heart, even if he retreated to Karemi to concentrate all his strength, his troops still had no hope of resisting it.

A person who had just tasted power was willing to lose it like this. So although Ka Kurtu spoke to Jaka Laijit, his eyes were anxiously looking at Cai Zhongxiao.

"From the current strength of the enemy and us, we have no chance of winning at all. I suggest leaving some small troops to spread out to the guerrillas in the mountains and forests on both sides of Highway 5, delaying the enemy's speed of progress, and then," Cai Zhongxiao said this, and felt extremely terrible. From the discovery of the US predator drone to the Casso-Sabi artillery's extremely accurate shooting, the support behind the Americans was obvious, and from the perspective of strength, it is obvious that this warlord armed force that has made a comeback has been completely renewed.

Facing such an opponent, Cai Zhongxiao looked at the power in Ka Kurtu's hands, and there was no way to think about it now. If he had a strong People's Liberation Army commando in his hand, Cai Zhongxiao could also try to launch a night attack to kill the enemy's howitzer battalion. However, with Cai Zhongxiao's understanding of Ka Kurtu's troops' training level and combat capabilities, the possibility of success is slim.

With the warlord armed forces supported by the US military, not only has the number of people, but their equipment is obviously not Kasso. Kortu's troops are comparable. As long as its commander is not too stupid and insists on taking every step, Kortu has almost no chance of winning. If you want to save the defeat now, you can only imagine if you dispatch the air force of the People's Liberation Army or the Tanzanian military to destroy Kasso Sabi's howitzer battalion.

However, this tactic is not something that Cai Zhongxiao can decide. After all, if the air force is dispatched, the movement will be a bit too big. No matter how weak the Congo Democratic Republic is, it will involve a country's sovereignty, which is the same as secretly supporting Kazakhs behind the scenes. The nature of Kurtu is completely different. Once it is spread, the government will inevitably be passive in politics.

But Ka Kurtu is an important piece that China has left in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Although Cai Zhongxiao does not understand the deployment of the senior management very well, he also knows that we will not give up easily, especially now at the time of great progress, so Cai Zhongxiao has to ask the command center of the 86th Machinery Camping Brigade Base alone, and the headquarters will make the decision, and he only needs to report the facts.

After having this idea, Cai Zhongxiao suggested that Ka Kurtu first retreat to Kalemi, judging by the marching speed of Kasso Shabi, a unit mainly composed of infantry, it is impossible to attack Kalemi today. In other words, Cai Zhongxiao has more than ten hours to save the situation.

Faced with the latest battle situation reported by Cai Zhongxiao and the 86th Aircraft Infantry Command, the General Staff also had a headache. The key is that the 86th Aircraft Infantry is not suitable for attacking. Otherwise, with the strength of the 86th Aircraft Infantry, only the Destroyer Special Aviation Battalion can be dispatched, and Kasso Sabi's howitzer battalion can be solved in minutes.

The problem is that the government will be under too much pressure in international public opinion. Now, as the People's Liberation Army goes abroad, the world's sudden increase in China's military power is not always a happy attitude, and many countries still have doubts.

The PLA's entry into Tanzania has caused many African countries to protest on the international stage. In addition, after the announcement of the plan to arm Tanzania, it has affected the sensitive nerves of many countries in East Africa, Central Africa and southern Africa. Among the countries bordering Tanzania, many have begun to increase military spending to increase military strength and offset the impact of Tanzania's military strength.

In this case, the People's Liberation Army will launch another cross-border strike, which will make these countries more opposition.

Therefore, it seems very inappropriate to directly dispatch troops to strike. However, now the enemy is at the city. If the troops are not directly dispatched to support, it seems that Ka Kurtu will not be able to support it. Although this is a chess piece, it is also an extremely important chess piece for the General Staff. It is directly related to the success or failure of the General Staff’s layout in the Congo Democratic Republic.
