"The Somali civil war has broken out again!"
"Somali forces unite to suppress dissent!"
"The battle for the peaceful reunification of Somalia begins!"
…… On the morning of October 12, the world's major media reported the outbreak of a new round of war in Somalia. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe media, which are on the neutral side, on the side of the Resistance Army, and on the side of the Provisional Somali Axe, have described the war from different angles.
Regardless of their intentions, countries are calling on both sides to negotiate a peaceful resolution of internal conflicts and disputes, but this sudden war began with the bombing of Baidoara by the Paramingchu Air Force.
When six MiG-23 fighters of the Paramingcho Army fired more than 800 57mm rockets at the camp of the 1st Brigade of the Resistance Army in Baidoa, the elite unit of the Resistance Army in Baidoa, they flew away. The 'fast reaction forces' in the three directions that had been preparing to encircle Baidoa received orders to attack at the same time.
In total, the Rahanwen Resistance Army has a total of 5,000 armed soldiers. Within the Resistance, the 5,000 soldiers were divided into five brigades, each of which was divided into two regiments. There is no battalion level below the regimental level, and the establishment of the company level is directly established.
Previously, the 1st Brigade, the most elite of the 5 brigades of the Resistance Army, had been stationed in the city of Baidoa to secure the headquarters. The 2nd Brigade was originally based in Burhabaka, a city in the eastern part of Baidoa region, to defend against Mogadishu forces. However, after the battle between the Paramingchu Army and the Kenyan Political Axe Army, the Resistance leadership immediately realized that the Paramingchu Army was more dangerous than the Mogadishu faction, and immediately redeployed the 2nd Brigade to Yagbulavai, a city in the south near Central Juba Oblast, while the 4th Brigade, which had been stationed there, was sent to the city of Burhabaka.
When the horn of the war began, the army of the Paraminghao Army, which had long since gathered in the city of Sako in Central Juba State, immediately went into action. The 3rd Infantry Regiment would be the fist of the army, first 'smashing' at Yagbulavay, where the 2nd Brigade of the Resistance was based, followed by the 4th Infantry Regiment, which would remain to clear the remnants of the armed forces after the 3rd Infantry Regiment had destroyed the enemy's main forces. As the core of this team, the tank battalion went straight to Dinsol, a major transportation town in Baidoa State, to block the resistance army's westward escape route.
"Assemble!" After a loud whistle ended, Luo Xiang accompanied Li Mo and shouted on the empty training ground.
In the eyes of the two of them, in the surrounding woods, on the trees, and on the roof of the barracks, a figure appeared at the same time, and a soldier with sharp skills lined up neatly in front of Li Mo in just thirty seconds, each soldier was fully armed and disguised.
"Report to the chairman, the first and second detachments of the Meteor Commando have been assembled, there should be 21 people, but there are 21 people, please instruct!" Luo Xiang reported to Li Mo in a serious manner.
Li Mo smiled calmly for a while. The Meteor Commando is a world-class special force that he has made every effort to build, and its comprehensive quality is not to mention in actual combat, but the performance of the assembly just now proves that this is a special force with extremely high quality and strong combat effectiveness.
"Take a break!" With Li Mo's words in return, the 21 members of the Meteor Commando Team, including Luo Xiang, immediately let out a neat but positive and slight voice.
"In order to deal with the enemy of the Rahanwen Resistance Army as soon as possible, and to prevent foreign forces from intervening and preparing for it, I have decided to conduct a special operation against the headquarters of the Rahanwen Resistance Army in Baidoa, and your mission will be to parachute directly into Baidoa by helicopter, occupy its headquarters building, and capture the leader of the Rahanwen Resistance Army, Gabiyu, and his important assistant Droz. This is the first time since the establishment of the Meteor Commando that a special operation in the true sense of the word, and I hope that you will give full play to the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers and the overall comprehensiveness, and be 'fast, ruthless, and accurate'. One hit is a must, and evacuate Baidoa immediately after completing the mission. The detailed battle plan will be explained to you later by the commander of this operation, that is, your captain Luo Xiang. Here, I wish you all the best in your mission! Li Mo issued an order with a serious face.
"Invincible, the only one in the world!"
The 21 members of the Meteor Commando shouted out the slogan of the Meteor Commando to show their determination to win the battle.
"Excellent! Now I command: 'Operation Blitz' begins! Li Mo nodded with satisfaction, then smiled and gave the order to start the operation.
The 21 members of the Meteor Commando received the order and immediately rushed to the four Mi-24 gunships in the center of the training ground, and soon, under the gaze of Li Mo alone, the four Mi-24s slowly flew up and finally disappeared into the sky.
Four Mi-24 helicopter gunships took off from the Meteor commando base and were to carry out a refueling session at the temporary assembly of the Paraminghao Army in the city of Sako, Central Juba State. From the base of Camel Mountain to Baidoa, the straight-line distance is more than 300 kilometers. It is farther than the maximum combat radius of the Mi-24 gunship. In order to avoid accidents, and in this operation, the main role of the Mi-24 gunship is not to attack, but to transport, so refueling in Sako City and carrying two auxiliary fuel tanks can fully meet the requirements of transporting the Meteor Commando round-trip. The purpose of attaching a fuel tank is to use helicopters to support the Meteor Commando in case of an unfavorable attack.
At 9:23 a.m. on the 12th, four Mi-24 helicopter gunships arrived 10 kilometers west of the city of Baidoa. Even at such a distance, the soldiers on the helicopter could still see the thick smoke rising from the southern outskirts of the city of Baidoa. The commander of the operation frowned at this scene. He knew that was the reason why the air force had attacked here just now. The scene reminded him of a war film he had seen depicting an American operation in Somalia. The Somali soldiers fighting against the U.S. military used burning tires and other objects that emit thick smoke to block the view of the U.S. Air Force and helicopter formations and prevent them from supporting the ground at high altitudes. And if you want to see through the smoke and see the scene below, you have to lower the altitude of the helicopter, so you have to risk being attacked by the enemy's rockets.
However, there is one thing in favor of the Meteor Commando now, that is, the location where the smoke rises is in the south of Baidoa City, and according to intelligence, the headquarters of the Resistance Army is located in the northern district of Baidoa City, plus the east wind outside at the moment is about 2-3 levels, as long as you are careful, you will be fine.
After pondering for a while, Luo Xiang still decided to attack immediately.
"Attention players, please note that I am Commander Luo Xiang. Because the smoke blocked the view, I decided to make some changes to the plan, and the original attack route of the No. 3 helicopter was changed to the attack line of the second plan, and the attack route of the other helicopters remained the same. I repeat ......"
"Woo......" A low, long air raid siren sounded again over Baidoa.
The city of Baidoa, which had just experienced a chaotic situation, and the citizens of Baidoa, who were still full of terror, let out a desperate scream again and fled in all directions.
"Guards...... Guards, someone. What the hell is going on? "Gabiyu, who was in a state of apprehension, was dressed and was about to go to see the damage suffered by the First Brigade station. Suddenly, I heard an air raid siren again. Could it be that the Paramingchu Air Force fighter planes that had just left were attacking again?
Isn't this bullying me for not having a fighter? Gabiyu ripped open the collar of the military uniform he had just put on, revealing a handful of black hair inside, and roared angrily at the captain of the guard with red eyes.
"Report to the chairman, according to the soldiers below, enemy helicopters have appeared in the western sky and are flying towards here. Chairman, you need to move to a safe place now, I'm afraid that the enemy will attack the headquarters! The captain of the guard whispered nervously.
"You're going to want me to hide in that sweltering basement?" The thought of Gabiyu hiding for half an hour just now made his body sweat stains. How did he, who was a little clean, accept it and endure a disgusting feeling again?
"No, Chairman, I don't think you can stay at the headquarters, the enemy helicopters are coming straight here, they seem to be attacking here, for your safety, I think you should go to the Eastern Suburbs Villa." The captain of the guard explained solemnly. If the enemy helicopters really destroyed the headquarters building, then the basement was a grave. How can you still hide inside?
Although the captain of the guard tried his best to use a tactful tone, 'safe transfer'. But Gabiyu still knew that he was trying to persuade himself to escape. This made Gabiyu both resentful and helpless. He knew that the captain of the escort was right, if he didn't leave, he might be 'killed' when the enemy helicopter destroyed the place. As soon as he thought of the word 'sacrifice', Gabiyu was about to say that he was not greedy for life and afraid of death, and immediately shrank back. deliberately pondered for a while, waved his hand and said, "For the sake of your persuasion, I'll go to the East District Villa." Go and deliver my order to Droz to take command of the headquarters, and give orders to the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Brigades not to engage the enemy and return to Baidoa immediately. I'm going to fight the enemy to the death here! ”
When the four helicopters transporting the Meteor Commando arrived at the Resistance headquarters, over a five-story white building, Gabiyu was escorted by a large group of guards and had just boarded the car in front of the headquarters building.
This is the North District, and there is almost no smoke over it. The members of the Meteor Commando team in the helicopter immediately saw a large line of slowly moving cars on the road in front of the target building.
"Oh no, they're going to run away!" Luo Xiang was shocked. These people are too quick to react. If these people were really allowed to escape, then wouldn't this mission be a failure? When you see the car below, you know that there is a big man sitting in a car inside, and maybe it is the main target of this mission: Gabiyu.
"I ordered Helicopter No. 2.3 to immediately attack the car below with a cannon, Helicopter No. 4 to parachute on top of the target building, and Helicopter No. 1 to temporarily do a vigilance mission. Keep your eyes shining on all drivers, don't let the enemy sneak up! Luo Xiang decisively changed the plan again and directly issued a combat order.
