"There's movement from the Resistance?" In a makeshift headquarters, Zhang Sanshi, vice chairman of the Military Committee of the Xingchen Organization, was standing next to a map, and suddenly turned his head to a young officer next to him and asked.

"Yes, according to the observation of the front-line soldiers, the line of the 4th Brigade of the Resistance Army, which was originally in front of us, was empty half an hour ago. Less than a hundred people are left bluffing there. The young officer met the stone's gaze and replied calmly. If there were outsiders again, it would have been known that the young officer was Lieutenant Colonel Saleh, commander of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment of the Paraminchu Army.

Didn't the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment go west in the Resistance's intelligence? It seems to be the 3rd Brigade of the Resistance that went to attack Wajid. Why are you still here at the moment?

As everyone knows, the Chinese art of war has clouds, hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, and attacking the west in the east. The Third Mechanized Infantry Regiment of the Paramingchu Army was originally a new-style unit, and although it was mainly formed from the original Third Infantry Regiment, the outside world did not know its specific number and equipment establishment. It is impossible to get the 'armored forces' heading west to the west, whether they are all armed with the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Regiment. Obviously, in this confusion, the Resistance directly analyzed that the armored forces advancing westward were the mechanized units of the Palaminghao Army.

"Well, did the Resistance go north as we expected?" Stone nodded, with a hint of satisfaction in his tone. The Resistance was truly deluded. It was thought that there was only one fourth regiment left in the Paramingchu army to the south.

Lieutenant Colonel Saleh certainly knew the reason for this, but he was still a little puzzled, "Yes! Instructor, why don't we remind the north? Their strength, if in an open-board decisive battle, might be able to withstand the resistance; But if they were to be raided by the Resistance, I was afraid they would collapse. ”

To the north is the Puntland Forces; At the moment, Puntland, the Provisional Axe, and the Paramingchu Army are allies. The two sides should work together to capture the city of Baidoa in one fell swoop. The plan that Stone had brought with him was to lead the Resistance to attack Puntland. This made Saleh very confused.

Hearing this, Shi Yan didn't explain directly, so he smiled and asked, "Do you think we can win this battle?" ”

Saleh was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied, "Yes...... Absolutely. Just by relying on our Ming Cook Army, we can enter Baidoa. There was some damage, but it was acceptable. Although he answered, he was even more puzzled in his heart. I don't know why the instructor would ask such an almost 'idiotic' question in such a good manner.

"You're right, we decided we could win this battle, but what about after we win? Under previous agreements, the Somali Defence Force (SDF) was formed after the majority of the country's uncooperative forces had been eliminated. But in the Wehrmacht, we were given only the post of Chief of the General Staff. And there is not a single post in the three major military regions. This is not in line with our strengths. And the most important thing is which side will dominate the new Wehrmacht. It seems to be on the side of the temporary political axe, but in fact, everyone knows that the armed forces that the temporary political axe can control is the least among the major forces. And President Yusuf, who is well aware of this, will not try to control the Wehrmacht at such a time. Then there are only two opponents left for the Ming Cook Army: the Puntland Autonomous Region and the Mogadishu political axe warlords. Kenyare was not a concern, he was the leader of one of the three former axe armies, and could not control and influence the other two. In this way, our only competitor is the Autonomous Region of Puntland. Having said all that, do you understand the purpose of doing this? "In the Soken border conflict, Stone discovered the talent of Saleh. Later, he strongly recommended to Li Mo that the position of commander of the Third Mechanized Infantry Regiment would fall on Saleh, a newcomer. For such a talent, the stone will definitely do his best to let him know more.

It was only at this time that Saleh understood the purpose of this plan. That is, through this battle, the strength of the Puntland armed forces will be weakened. The purpose of this plan is no longer limited to the immediate battle, but to the arrangement of who will dominate the newly formed Wehrmacht.

In most countries' militaries, whoever 'controls' more armies has more influence in general. This is even more true of the newly formed Somali Defence Force.

Of the 13 first-rate forces and the two quasi-superpowers that cooperated at the 'multi-party conference', only Puntland could compete with the Paramingchu Army in terms of military armament. The advantage of the Paramingchu army is that the army is appropriately numerous, the equipment is more advanced, and the overall quality of the soldiers is higher than that of other armed forces. Puntland, on the other hand, has a large area of control and a large number of people, surpassing the Paramingchu army in terms of the total number of armed men. Moreover, Puntland has the advantage of having the support of Ethiopia. For Somalia, Ethiopia is both a mediator and a participant. On several occasions, troops have been sent to intervene in conflicts between local Somali armed forces over territory. Although it maintains a certain degree of friendly relations with major domestic forces in Somalia, it will often change its surname due to changes in the environment. Like the Rahanwen Resistance Army. In 1999, Ethiopia sent troops to support the presence of the Rahanwen Resistance Army in Baidoa. Later, however, because of the intervention of the United States, the pro-American Gabiyo faction came to power, which deteriorated relations between the two sides.

At the moment, for the Paramingchu army, winning this battle has long been undisputed. But how to dominate the newly formed Somali Defence Force (SDF) is a question that must be faced. To weaken the enemy is to strengthen oneself. By confusing the Rahanwen Resistance Army and guiding it to attack Puntland, it gave them hope in a desperate situation. When both the Rahanwen Resistance Army and Puntland were defeated, it was time for the Palamingo Army to win with one blow.

"Sure enough, it's a good plan. In this way, Puntland's voice in the future Wehrmacht will inevitably be reduced because of the reduction of the number of armed forces in hand! Moreover, the Puntland army that came this time is still their elite troops, and the greater the losses, the longer it will take to recover! Saleh high-fived, admiration for the man who had made the plan.

As one of the formulators of this plan, Shi Shi's face did not change, and he said, "Whether the Jibu Regiment can continue to be secretive before the resistance army takes action this time will become the key to the success or failure of this plan." You should be prepared to prevent accidents! ”

…… The commander of the political axe army in the Puntland Autonomous Region is a man named Abdul? Val? Moose's middle-aged man. He is a close confidant of the current president of the autonomous region of Puntland, Hashi, and has always been in control of Puntland's most elite armament, the First Guard of Puntland.

The 'counterinsurgency' operation was the easiest trip for the Puntland Army and the Provisional Political Axe Army, as the two armies crossed the line of control and marched straight into the city of Baidoa, where they met no threatening resistance.

"Report to the Commander, urgent intelligence ahead!" Moose, who was sipping red wine in an extremely luxurious tent, was suddenly interrupted by a guard who rushed in outside, and glanced at the guard with some annoyance.

"Say!" Moose put down his glass in displeasure and hummed a word from his nose.

"Report to the commander, news is coming from the front that a large number of enemy troops have suddenly appeared on the enemy's defensive line, and according to preliminary statistics, on the opposite side of us, more than two thousand enemies are making unknown movements!" The guard also knew about his reckless behavior, and hurriedly lowered his head to report this important news.

"Bang! How can it be? Where are there so many enemies? Moose slapped the table, stood up and yelled with wide eyes. Now the total number of armed forces of the Rahanwen Resistance Army in Baidoa City is only about 2,000, how can more than 2,000 appear in front of him? Could it be that the 'Allied forces' in the other two directions were wiped out by the Resistance?

"If you dare to lie about the military situation, I will kill you!" Moose trembled in his heart, and angrily pulled out his small pistol and shouted at the guards. He didn't believe the guard's words at all. The 'Allied forces' in the other two directions, with nearly 5,000 men, were wiped out by the Resistance without any movement? If it had not eliminated the 'allied forces' in the other two directions, how could the Resistance have sent all the armed forces in Baidoa in front of them? It's definitely this guard who is lying, and his heart is condemnable.

"No...... No...... Commander, I didn't lie, here's ...... There is also a document signed by our commander, you can see that I am not deceiving you......" The guard panicked as soon as he saw Moose pointing a gun at him, and while arguing fiercely, he took out a document from his bag.

Moose is, after all, a commander, and he is not so irrational as to draw a gun and kill people at every turn. After staring at the guard a few times with a sharp gaze, he took the document in the guard's hand with his hand without a gun, and glanced at it, and the content on it was similar to what the guard said. And at the end there is the signature of the front-line commander. He was convinced that the information was true.

But how is that possible? Moose had another question in his heart? If the Resistance moves all its soldiers to the north, then the other two directions are not defensive? Aren't they afraid that the Paramingchu Army, the Provisional Axe Army, will take the opportunity to attack Baidoa and cut off their roots?

"Is there any movement in the other two directions? What about our 'allies'? Moose asked with a calm face as he put the pistol back in its holster. Are the Paramingchu Army and the Political Axe Army idiots? Why don't you even know that the enemy in front of you is gone?

"Report to the commander, there is no major movement in the east and south, and as before, there are occasional small shootouts. I don't think they knew the enemy was coming north! The guard hurriedly replied. And also put forward a speculation.

Moose pondered for a moment and ordered, "You go and spread the news to the friendly forces in the other two directions, so that they can immediately attack the city of Baidoa." When sending a message to the friendly forces in the east, point out the predicament we are facing, and ask them to send troops to support us! ”
