"In the duel between two and one, who wins and who loses?" This is the coverage of the war in East Africa that broke out in the middle of the night in neutral countries and the media. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The War Against Terrorism - The War of Freedom Breaks Out!" This is reported by some Western media, as well as in Kenyan and Somaliland media.

"Was it hatred or interest that led to cannibalism?" It was the media that sympathized with Somalia or saw that something was wrong with the coverage of the sudden outbreak of war between the three countries.

In addition, all kinds of rhetoric soon flooded the front pages of the Internet and the media, and the eyes of the whole world suddenly turned to East Africa and the Somali Peninsula again.

The outbreak of this war was sudden, so abrupt that many countries broke out without the slightest psychological preparation.

At 2 a.m. on 7 April, when Somaliland troops crossed the demarcation line to launch an offensive against the Somali guards, clashes broke out again at the Farah Pass on the border between southern Somalia and Kenya, where the first Soken border clash took place.

The prepared Kenyan army, led by a tank regiment and supplemented by several infantry regiments, launched a fierce attack on the Somali border guards opposite the Farah Pass.

Shells crossed the pass from artillery positions on the Kenyan side of the Farah Pass and exploded at the positions of the Somali army lines. The rocket artillery battalion directly under the Somali 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade also immediately launched a counterattack on the Kenyan side. 105 grenades and 107 rockets flew through the air above the valley and flew to the opposing positions with the roar of death, with a loud bang, bringing only flying stumps and the smoke of death.

Brigadier General Aka, commander of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade, was constantly receiving reports from various units in the headquarters, and the first line of defense closest to the Farah Pass was defended by an infantry company, but under such fierce artillery fire from the enemy, this infantry company was very damaged, and calls for help were sent to the brigade headquarters.

Aka touched his bald head, which was covered with a layer of fine sweat, and after a slight consideration, he ordered the adjutant, "Let the 131st Company withdraw and withdraw to the back of the valley, the enemy's artillery fire is too fierce, and we will suffer a lot from the enemy in this regard, let all the units give me a ten-kilometer back defense and let the enemy in." "The Somali Defense Forces do not have artillery brigades with reading power, and only a few units are armed with 107 rocket artillery. And most of them are infantry brigades to strengthen their firepower and long-range strike capabilities, and mechanized infantry brigades like them are only equipped with an artillery battalion of 24 12-barrel rocket launchers, which are enough to suppress the enemy's infantry and even armored units, but compared with the enemy's howitzers, the power is still insufficient. In addition, the enemy's artillery positions are relatively scattered, and the role that this covering weapon can play is greatly reduced, and Aka feels that it is better to retreat a certain distance, so that it will take time for the other side to arrange the artillery position, and the Somali side is almost flat, and it is difficult to hide the artillery position, so he will give himself an opportunity to take advantage of it at that time.

The adjutant's lips moved when he heard this, but he still didn't say anything, and he saluted and went out.

Aka knew what the adjutant wanted to say, didn't he just retreat as soon as the fight started, giving the outside world the impression that the First Mechanized Infantry Brigade was in name only, and it wouldn't work if a few people hadn't died, and it was difficult for the superiors to explain. But Acre also has his own considerations, first of all, it is not a big deal to lose a part of the territory, as long as the Kenyan attack is defeated, it is not difficult to recover the territory or even invade the territory of Kenya, the main thing now is to avoid its edge, and when the Kenyan army loses its sharpness, there is a chance to clean them up.

Kenya is about the size of Somalia, but its army is only one-third the size of Somalia. One third of the Kenyan army was used to attack Somalia. That's pretty much the largest army Kenya can come up with. After all, Kenya still needs to be garrisoned by troops. In Somalia, the Southern Military Region alone has three mechanized infantry brigades and one infantry brigade, and although modern warfare no longer values the number of people and the scale, this is all because of the huge disparity in the level of technology and weapons, and when the quality of the soldiers and weapons and equipment of the two countries are similar, the size of the army is also very important to the victory or defeat of the war.

At Massabbub Air Base, four F-5E fighter jets painted in desert camouflage are making final preparations for takeoff.

With an order from the control tower, four fighter jets took off from the runway one by one and disappeared into the darkness in formation at an altitude of 6,000 meters, and they will be the first batch of air strike forces tonight to bomb the southern Somali defense line.

The F-5E fighter, nicknamed 'Tiger', is a light tactical fighter developed by the American company Northrop, and the F-5E is an improved version of the F-5 fighter. In the fifties and sixties, when jet planes had just replaced propeller planes as the main fighters of various countries, Soviet fighters were still superior to Western fighters in terms of overall ability. The United States developed the F-5 fighter in order to be able to counter the MiG-21 and Su-7 fighters. The F-5E combat object is the MiG-21, so that its medium and low-altitude penetration surname can be close to the MiG-21, and also has a certain ground combat capability, Kenya's political axe purchased 10 F-5E and 2 F-5F fighters from the United States as early as 76 years, and later an F-5E fighter crashed in an accident, and now the main force of the Kenyan Air Force is 9 F-5E and two F-5F.

Massabbu is only 100 kilometers away from the Soken border in a straight line, and at the speed of an F-5E fighter jet, it only takes 10 minutes to reach the battlefield and enter the war.

In this war with Somalia, the commander of Kenya and the chief of the General Staff of the armed forces, Joseph ? Admiral Kibwana's plan is to use artillery and air bombardment to open the way, tear a hole in Somalia's defense line against Kenya, enter the depths of Somalia as soon as possible, and disrupt Somalia's military deployment. Then with Kenya's secret weapon, the Airborne Regiment, parachuted into Mogadishu to destroy the Somali regime in one fell swoop and end this war that should never have happened.

If you consider it from the perspective of Kenya itself, Admiral Kibwana will never use this tactic, because Kenya's military spending is not sufficient, and Kenya cannot afford such a tactic of opening the way with ammunition, which consumes a lot of money. But this operation is different, and Kenya has paid for the cost of the war. And the Kenyan political axe can not only gain huge benefits from this war, but also use other people's money to hone the army, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

When the news of the bombing of the positions of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade was transmitted back to Mogadishu, the DPRK was shaken.

"Chief of Staff Hussein, what about our Air Force? What about our fighter planes......" In the underground command post, a neutral member heard the bad news from the two fronts in the north and south, and his spirit almost collapsed, and he stood up and roared at Hussein with red eyes. How have these people ever experienced a real war between nations? In the past, they were both local Somali warlords, and everyone fought side by side, and after the guns were fired indiscriminately, whoever could not hold on to the fear of war first would be defeated first. But this is not how modern warfare is fought, Somalia is now attacked on both sides, and the enemy's attack is very fierce, and artillery shells are fired without money, and it doesn't matter how many shells kill an enemy. However, it is this nouveau riche tactic that has caused the Somali Defense Forces, which have never had such experience, to fall sharply and almost retreat. The damage of the 5th Mechanized Infantry Brigade on the Northern Front has already reached one-sixth, and this is the result of the desperate support of the Air Force at the risk of being shot down by an enemy missile. But even so, the 5th Mechanized Infantry Brigade had already lost all its defensive line and retreated 50 kilometers, and it was only three and a half hours after the outbreak of the war.

Yusuf, who had just finished the Council of Ministers, heard a wolf howl that did not look like a human howl as soon as he walked into the command post, frowned, and secretly cursed a coward in his heart, so he strode over.

Looking at the chief of staff who was calm in front of him without a trace of nervousness, the worry in Yusuf's heart eased slightly.

"Chief of Staff, how's the situation in the South?"

"Your Excellency, the situation in the south is still under our control, and the Kenyan Air Force is too small to make a difference in the war of tens of thousands of people. Moreover, I have already ordered the mobilization of six MiG-23 fighters in the northern theater of operations to return to the south to meet the enemy. Hussein replied confidently as he stood up. The overall situation is now a bit bad for Somalia, but it is still under control. This is mainly due to the insufficient strength of the two enemies. Both Somaliland and Kenya have small armies, and this time they are united to eat Somalia, and they are not afraid of choking to death. Besides, he's not without hole cards.

"Oh? Isn't there more pressure from the north? You Sufu raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously. Although he didn't know very well, he also knew that in the battle in the north, the dozen or so fighters of the Air Force played a key role. Will the removal of half of the air force on the northern front now add more variables to the already bad situation in the north?

"That's it, Chief of Staff Hussein, the north is also Somali territory, you can't transfer the air force to the south just because the south is where you started, right?" The hash commissioner, who had not spoken, suddenly said in a strange way. For the sake of his life and power, he colluded with outsiders, and he didn't even care about the lives of the people in northern Somalia, who belonged to his sphere of influence. In his subconscious, Hussein mobilized half of his fighters to the southern front, in order to protect the lair of the Paramingchu army. So the hash commissioner felt that this was another opportunity to hit Hussein.

Sure enough, as soon as Hashi's words fell, several committee members looked at Hussein with suspicion. Is it true that Hussein is just trying to defend his nest from being occupied by Kenya, as the hash says? Some committee members did not think deeply, and jumped out to accuse Hussein, scolding him for having selfish motives at this time, and his heart could be punished. These people were already on the verge of a breakdown under the pressure of the war, and everyone felt that defeat was already on the horizon, and who cared about Hussein's power at this time, because they thought that Hussein would soon become a lost dog like them.
