"Bang!"

"Damn, there's a sniper here. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info No. 6...... Six, there's a sniper in that shop at 10 o'clock, kill him for me......"

In the quiet street, the 25mm cannon of a Lion King infantry fighting vehicle quickly turned its muzzle, and soon aimed at a very simple shop on the street in front of the left.

Several shells were fired from the muzzle of the cannon, hitting the shop with precision, shattering the wooden doors and windows of the shop, and even breaking several holes in the store's walls.

Just as the infantry fighting vehicle opened fire, several soldiers with guns suddenly poured out from both sides of the street, cautiously and quickly crossed the open area, approached the shop, and one soldier took out a grenade from his body, pulled the fuse and threw it through the window.

"Bang!" A cloud of smoke and sawdust flew out, and several soldiers crouched on the ground rushed into the shop, quickly dragging out a Kenyan sniper covered in wounds and dressed in civilian clothing.

After checking that the sniper was actually dead, the soldiers carried the captured sniper rifles and followed the chariot to the next target again.

The scene took place almost simultaneously in the streets of the southern suburbs of Garissa, Kenya. The 7th Mechanized Infantry Regiment, having broken a defensive line of Kenyan soldiers and militiamen, entered the city of Garissa and, with the fire support of helicopters in the sky, was cutting diagonally through the eastern suburbs of Garissa, targeting the Eastern Kenya Military Command on the southern outskirts of Garissa.

At this moment, the command, which represents the military center in eastern Kenya, has long been in chaos, and it has just been hit by an air strike from the Somali air assault battalion fifteen minutes ago. Hundreds of rockets destroyed most of the headquarters buildings, and the damage was even more serious. After all, except for a guard battalion, most of the rest here are civilian staff and officers, who are relatively less astute than battle-tested soldiers in avoiding battlefield dangers.

"Damn it, it's a bunch of stupid pigs. Every year, the headquarters provides so much military spending and equipment, and now they are being beaten to their homes, and they have not even shot down a single helicopter of the enemy. What's the use of the state raising your bunch of waste? "In an underground bunker at the Military Region Command to prepare for air strikes, Admiral Kibwana, Chief of Staff of the Kenyan Armed Forces and Chief of Operations for Somalia, roared like an angry bull at a group of men.

I think he is a Kenyan No. 2 military figure, but he was beaten by the enemy and hid underground and did not dare to show his face. You must know that a day ago, he confidently promised the Nairobi group to defeat Somalia within a month, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to become a prisoner of Somalia.

The high-ranking members of the Eastern Military Region, who were silent, all shrugged their heads profusely and did not dare to refute a word. Because what His Excellency the Chief of Staff says is true. The Eastern Military Region was not valued by the Kenyan political axe before, but since the Paramin Cooking Army eliminated the Garissa Mechan Infantry Regiment, the Kenyan political axe has increased its investment in the Eastern Military Region for more than a year, and in the end, the Eastern Military Region Command, one of the three major military regions in Kenya, actually let a Somali mechanized infantry regiment that had just been beaten by itself and had no power to fight back to defeat the old nest. It is the generals and colonels who have been over half a hundred years old that they all feel ashamed.

At the headquarters of the Eastern Military District, there was air defense. Although Garissa was far away from the border and did not pay enough attention to air defense, the enemy was only a few helicopters, and none of the anti-aircraft missiles fired by the air defense troops hit the enemy plane.

"Sir......" At this moment, a weak voice sounded. Among the dozen or so officers who didn't dare to come out, it seemed very abrupt.

"Hmm...... Say something if you have something!" Admiral Kibwana frowned, he had only reached this position after decades in the army, but he was not promoted by his mouth and background, he had a deep understanding and affection for the army, and he looked down on those who were submissive and had no manhood at all. Especially such a person is still a soldier, an officer.

A lieutenant colonel officer with a crooked hat walked forward, glanced at the expressionless Kibwana, and immediately lowered his head and muttered, "Sir, I have an idea. ”

"Look up at me!" Kibwana's anger that he had managed to suppress erupted again, and he clenched his hands into fists and waved them and roared. He's in his sixties, and he's never been so angry as he is today. If it weren't for his physical fitness, just such a 'weak' subordinate would be able to anger him.

"It's sir!" The lieutenant colonel's body trembled, reflexively stood up straight, raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of the chief of staff, "Sir, I think that the enemy must be planning a quick battle after a long journey and a surprise attack on Garissa, so the enemy will definitely not be willing to fight a protracted battle with us." However, because Garissa is 200 kilometers away from the border, the enemy's surprise attack effect is not ideal, and the enemy has no logistical supplies, and the long-distance attack is full of variables. I don't think we should stay here and wait for the enemy to come to the door, but rather call on more citizens to snipe at the enemy, as is the case on the H9 road. As long as we hold off the enemy for an hour, the fate of this mechanized infantry regiment is sealed, and it will become our prisoner. ”

Although the lieutenant colonel's words were not clear, the main meaning was clear. That is, the ammunition of the infantry regiment is consumed by the number of people, and as a infantry regiment, the largest weapons are machine guns and parallel machine guns. And both are the kind of weapons that have a fast rate of fire and consume a lot. Just like an automatic rifle, a few or even dozens of rounds of ammunition can kill an enemy, and without supplies, a vehicle that penetrates deep into enemy territory becomes a pile of scrap metal. And how many soldiers can a mechanized infantry regiment have? In the case of the Lion King infantry fighting vehicle, for example, in addition to the commander and gunner, it can carry six armed soldiers. One mechanized infantry regiment has 48 combat vehicles, with a total of no more than 300 soldiers. This number is as small as a bowl of water in the sea in an enemy city.

However, this plan also had some drawbacks, first of all, it was necessary to consume the ammunition of the infantry regiment by numbers. Then the number of people must be at least a few thousand, after all, there is a helicopter formation on top of the infantry regiment. Secondly, these people who are used as cannon fodder must also have a certain degree of threat to the combat vehicle, otherwise most of the infantry regiment will not pay attention to it, but go straight to the main target, the Eastern Military District Command. If this plan is carried out, at least 1,000 people will have to die for this plan. But are there still a few thousand soldiers in the Eastern Military District today? Yes, there must be, but it can't be in Garissa, otherwise Kibwana would have used this army to intercept the infantry regiment a long time ago. In cities, especially in urban areas like Garissa, where the streets are narrow and almost unplanned, soldiers who are familiar with the area play a greater role and play a stronger role than the infantry regiment.

"Hiss......" A group of officers, including Kibwana, gasped and stared at the lieutenant colonel officer with wide eyes. They could never have imagined that such a 'weak' officer could come up with such a cruel solution. At the heart of this plan is to have enough cannon fodder to send them to death, and in the absence of soldiers, only the militia and ordinary citizens can be called on a temporary basis. The military qualities of these people themselves are extremely low, and the number of deaths in order to complete this task is even higher.

That's the death of thousands of ordinary citizens, not livestock!

Some of the officers' eyes began to flicker and quietly distanced themselves from the lieutenant colonel. Although this plan is very likely to succeed, when the Eastern Military District Command will not only be saved, but at least not occupied by the enemy, and may be able to destroy a single infantry regiment of the enemy. But what about the consequences? The deaths of thousands of civilians cannot be covered at all, and when the time comes, someone will definitely be responsible for this matter, and the position of the person in charge must not be lowered, otherwise how can you block the mouth of Youyou?

"Bastard! Do you know how many people you will kill if you do this? You are a soldier, and it is your responsibility to defend your home and country, not for you to decide the life and death of citizens. The commander of the Eastern Military District's face changed, and suddenly jumped out, blushing, and pointing at the lieutenant colonel's nose with a thick neck and shouting with great indignation.

"Old fox!" Many officers cursed in their hearts. They know the little old man of the military commander too well, and he is completely an old fox. On the surface, it is high-sounding, but in fact, it is to shirk responsibility for himself.

Here, only two people can be held accountable for the implementation of this plan: the Chief of the General Staff, Colonel-General Kibwana, and the commander of the military district. Others are too low in rank to be responsible for the consequences of this incident.

This time, he jumped out and loudly criticized the lieutenant colonel, in order to create an image of loving the people for himself. Whether or not this plan will be implemented in the end has no effect on him. Once it is implemented, even if he, the commander of the military district, is responsible, it is only a small responsibility, after all, he was 'opposed' before the implementation of this plan, and he even got angry about it. But the biggest commander here is Kibwana, who is only a military commander, and can only helplessly obey the orders of his superiors. So the death of thousands of civilians has little to do with him, and when the time comes, he just needs to stand up and make an apology gesture.

The lieutenant colonel obviously didn't think that his top boss would be so angry, his face suddenly turned red, he was just a civilian official, he had never been in the army at all, he had not undergone strict training, and his will was not strong. It's okay to give advice and advice, but it's very difficult to be severely reprimanded by your superiors and not change your face.

Admiral Kibwana saw all this in his eyes, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking......
