In 1993, in order to completely eliminate the Somali warlord Aideed, the US military dispatched three special forces to solve the problem in a world war.
Aideed has a strong presence in the Somali region, with a large number of subordinates and familiarity with the local environment, often fighting with peacekeepers.
Four months earlier, Aidid led his men in a fierce battle with peacekeepers, resulting in the death of 23 peacekeepers.
The U.S. military could not swallow this breath and dispatched 160 soldiers to reach Somalia by helicopter.
At the same time, the U.S. military also sent dozens of special forces into Somalia from the other direction to form a pinch attack on Aideid.
Due to the swift movement of the American army, it soon invaded Aidid's lair and captured 24 senior officers. Just as the U.S. troops were preparing to withdraw, they suddenly heard someone shouting with a megaphone, calling on somalis to fight for their homeland.
Before the U.S. military could react, they were surrounded by ordinary people with weapons, who looked like ordinary people, but were actually Aidid's men.
The U.S. military was too careless and ended up being wrapped in dumplings.
At this time, the U.S. military provided air support through Black Hawk helicopters, intending to cover the retreat of ground forces. However, with a loud bang, the Black Hawk helicopter was hit by Aidid's rocket and crashed nearby.
Another bird helicopter rushed in to support the battle, barely taking some American soldiers with it, and then hurriedly withdrew.
However, under the fire of the Somalis, the other helicopters did not have time to save the people, and soon another Black Hawk was shot down.
At this time, the trapped American soldiers could only hope for ground rescue forces, but their Humvee convoy was unable to follow the same route under the intensive fire of the Somalis, and finally did not reach the destination.
In this way, except for 1 US special forces soldier who became a prisoner, everyone else was killed on the spot.
The US military dispatched special forces, originally to eliminate Aidid, but the result not only did not achieve the expected effect, but also almost completely destroyed, the commander's anger can be imagined.
Other U.S. military peacekeepers also suffered heavy casualties, watching the sky getting darker and darker, and their ammunition was exhausted, and they could only find a place to hide temporarily.
The U.S. military commander did not send out a rescue force, but every time he sent someone, he was repelled by the Somalis.
In desperation, the US military can only send helicopters again to send supplies to the front-line soldiers through airdrops.
However, no sooner had the helicopter finished dropping supplies than it was spotted by the Somalis and subsequently under heavy artillery fire.
The helicopters had to be evacuated quickly, and the American soldiers were once again left alone, and they could only pray for God's blessing.
That night, the Somalis were limited in equipment and had low visibility, and temporarily halted the attack, which gave the U.S. military a chance to breathe.
After the multi-party communication of the command, Pakistan and Malaysia dispatched hundreds of soldiers and relied on heavy tanks and other tanks to open the road, which was considered to save the besieged American soldiers.
Post-war statistics show that 19 AMERICAN troops were killed, 1 was taken prisoner, 2 helicopters were blown to ashes, and nearly 100 soldiers were wounded.
Of course, the Somalis suffered more than 1,000 casualties, but they did not care, but instead dragged the bodies of US special forces to demonstrate.
Since then, the U.S. military has never dared to attack Aideed easily and honestly withdraws from the Somali region.
