Volume 4 Chapter 384 Annihilation of the Garissa Mechanized Infantry Regiment

readx;

With the 25 Russian first- and second-generation portable anti-aircraft missiles brought by Michael, Li Mo has a lot of confidence in this 'Soken border' war in order to muddy the situation in Somalia. www.biquge.info At least in the face of Kenya's possible air force, the Ming Cook Army has a low-altitude defense capability.

However, the anti-aircraft missiles brought by Michael are still at sea, and they will not reach the port of Kiyanboni until tomorrow morning at the earliest. Therefore, before tomorrow morning, the defense capability of the Ming Cook Army against the air is almost equal to zero.

After Michael went to rest, Li Mo called the rat and told him to ensure that this batch of anti-aircraft missiles could be in his hands tomorrow morning to ensure the safety of these missiles. He also instructed him to send some stones to the Soken border as soon as he got the missiles. After all, the war on the border of Soken is where these weapons are most needed at the moment.

As soon as the matter of this batch of missiles was ordered, Li Mo received news from the border.

The war is won!

The 700 Kenyan 'infantry' led by Musila were caught off guard by the tank battalion that suddenly came out from behind in the weathered rocks of the Great Valley. Surrounded by the tank battalion and the 1st Regiment, Musila did not flee even a single Kenyan soldier, although he tried his best to order his troops to break through. This is also related to the terrain of the weathered rocks, and in the valley, the exit direction is the exit at both ends of the valley. But these places are all controlled by the Ming Cook Army. The Kenyan army, whose confidence was destroyed by the murderous tank troops, finally collapsed after Musila was shot dead by snipers hiding in the Ming Cook Army. Finally, under the leadership of an intelligence officer in the Kenyan army, he surrendered to the Ming Cooking Army.

In this battle, the Kenyan army of 700 people died a total of 367 people, 356 people were wounded and captured, and a total of 733 Kenyan troops, 10 people are still missing.

On the other hand, on the side of the Ming Boiling Army, in the battle of the Great Valley, the losses were not small. After all, most of the Kenyan army is the elite of the Garissa Infantry Regiment; Under the desperate counterattack, 73 people of the first regiment were also killed, and the number of wounded was about the same. Suffice it to say that a regiment of only 450 infantrymen today, at this station, lost a third. It can be described as extremely tragic.

But neither Li Mo nor the Supreme Commander of the Soken Border War, Shi, were too annoyed by this loss. After all, it is impossible for an army to grow without experiencing the flames of war. And the more tragic the war, the more it can sharpen the will of an army. Although it does not mean that to build an iron-like ace army, many lives must be sacrificed. But looking at the trump card troops in ancient and modern times, which one of them has not been created after countless tests of war?

After the annihilation of Musira's unit, Kenya had only one mountain battalion on the Somali border. As the center of the war, the small town of Ilcabere, now only a small number of garrison soldiers and town militia remain. Kenya's desire to 'retaliate' against the Ming Cook Army again will not be possible in a short period of time. Because the demise of the Garissa Mecha Infantry Regiment will also make Kenya correct its mentality of despising the Ming Cooking Army. Re-energize this new armed force in southern Somalia. If it wants to 'make an example' with military force again, it will not be possible for Kenya to send more and more elite soldiers. Such as the 1st Armored Brigade that garrisoned the capital.

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the 16th, the border station of the former Mingzhu Army in Farah Pass was set up again. A platoon of soldiers returned to guard the Somali border post.

This scene was naturally discovered by the remnants of the Kenyan border guard battalion left behind in Ilkabere. At the moment, these Kenyan soldiers, if they wanted to, ran back to the town of Ilkabere. Soon this information was transmitted to the headquarters of the Eastern Military District in the city of Garissa through the only telephone in the town.

And the intelligence officers of the various forces wandering in the border area also got the results of the war one after another. All kinds of wireless signals are transmitted from the Soken border area to the rest of the world. Many of the forces that were watching the war were quick to get the news. The moment these people got the news, they all looked stunned and incredulous.

...... "The Soken Border War has come to an end temporarily, and the Paramingchu Army has won the victory!" ”

"The Paramingchu Army slapped the Kenyan political axe hard......"

When the reporters who went to Ilcabere in spite of the danger reported the results of the war back to headquarters, the shocking news was soon reported by the world's major evening newspapers and the front pages of Internet portals. The Palaminchu Army, a local Somali armed group that has been underappreciated, won the Soken border war. Kenya's elite troops, the Garissa Infantry Regiment, disappeared.

The word 'disappear' is used in many media outlets at the same time. And not annihilation. Even though this is related to the fairness and seriousness of the newspaper itself, it will not describe a thing with a positive attitude without obtaining solid evidence, for fear of misleading readers. There are also newspapers that have been influenced by reporters, who are a group of people who can't believe that the Ming Cook Army can annihilate the Garissa Infantry Regiment.

When the news reached Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, it was immediately blocked. Kenyan President Mwai, who was just about to leave work, had to urgently convene a meeting of cabinet members and members of the defence committee.

At the meeting, whether it was President Mwai's side, Vice President Moody's side, or the neutral side, or even the commanders of the various branches of the military who had always been detached, they were stunned after receiving the results of the Soken border war. In the huge conference room, dozens of people did not make a sound. There was only a rough gasp.

President Mwai, who has always paid attention to appearance, pulled his tie away at some point, and stared at everyone in the conference room with dark eyes like a bull about to explode. It was as if everyone was his enemy.

Shame, shame! Kenya's elite troops were defeated by third-rate local forces in Somalia, an African-bottomed country that is not in the middle of the stream. Mwai felt ashamed to death. After this result is spread, how will he meet people in the future?

Among the 19 powerful countries in Africa, Kenya is not as good as the three countries in the first tier, South Africa, Nigeria, and Egypt. But it is also a quasi-second-rate military power, and I don't know how much stronger it is than Somalia, a country that is not even a third-rate country. Not to mention that the fighting is only a local group in Somalia.

But the result was unexpected, and Kenya lost. It was so badly defeated. An elite infantry regiment was annihilated by the opposing side. How much of a loss is this for the Kenya Defence Force, which has a total of only 24,000 troops and six infantry regiments?

"Commander Oakes, is that what your military has to do with such a bunch of rice buckets?" Mwai shouted with red eyes as he glared at the army commander. In normal times, Mwai would never be angry with Ochs, an army commander from Kenya's largest tribe, the Kikuyu. But the defeat in the Soken border war undoubtedly made the president unable to bear the anger in his heart.

But the good thing is that Kenya is not Rwanda. The hatred between the tribal peoples here is far less endless. In Rwanda, politics and the military are in the service of the tribes. Therefore, in order to commit genocide against the Tutsi people, the second largest ethnic group, the Hutu, who wield the political axe and the army, can use the state apparatus to carry out a premeditated massacre. In Kenya, tribal clashes are based on differences in the political philosophies of the parties they represent. When political disputes are resolved, ethnic and tribal conflicts are resolved. So although Mwai was afraid of Oakes, he was not afraid of him.

Air Force Commanders and Navy Commanders, who have long been unhappy with the fact that most of Kenya's military spending has been overrun by the Army, have a gloating smile. The defeat of this war is a shame for the army, and the air force and navy, which have nothing to do with it.

"Mr. President, I think this should be a problem with NSIS, if it wasn't for the wrong information they provided, how could the Garissa Mecha Regiment be defeated by the Ming Cooking Army by mistake?" As the commander of the Kenyan Army, Oakes was not at all frightened by the president's questioning, but slowly shifted the blame to the Kenyan national security intelligence service NSIS, blaming the loss of the war because of the intelligence that NSIS collected, analyzed, and provided to the army.

For Oakes's 'quibble', everyone here is dismissive. Who doesn't know that NSIS is just an intelligence management agency. It does not involve the investigation and collection of specific information. Based on the information provided by the military and the intelligence service, they study and analyze it, identify whether there is a threat to national security, and then compile a report and submit it to the cabinet. And this time the intelligence collection of the Ming Cook Army is all the responsibility of the army itself. Oakes wants to shirk responsibility, it's so shameless!. Many people scolded so loudly in their hearts.

"Your Excellency, I think what we have to think about now is how to defuse this crisis. Defeat in the war was inevitable. By tomorrow, the whole world will get the news. The most important thing is how to stick to the past under the ridicule of the outside world and the pressure of the domestic people. Accountability must also be held after the crisis! Seeing Mwai questioning Oakes, Vice President Moody's heart was overjoyed. Although Oches has remained neutral in the political struggle, he still supports the president for the most part. Now the two have a conflict because of the loss of the war, which is undoubtedly good news for him. At the moment, Moody's is serious about his opinion. Show favor to Oakes.

Sure enough, Oakes glanced at Moody softly. You must know that before this, the two of them met and nodded, and Oakes always put on a cold face that rejected people thousands of miles away. Now it seems that what he just said made Oakes' attitude towards him much better.

After Moody's finished speaking, several cabinet members from Moody's side immediately followed suit, all echoing Moody's words. Even the cabinet members on the neutral side kept nodding.

The defeat at the Soken border has left everyone feeling an unprecedented crisis. It is even more serious than the last crisis caused by Mulungaru. Therefore, most people are reluctant to hold anyone accountable at this time, but to resolve the crisis and get through it safely.

Seeing this scene, Mwai also knew that the words he had just questioned Ochs had been misguided, and he might lose an ally of the military because of this.

After discussion, the meeting came up with a plan on how to defuse the crisis. First, the mountain battalion of Corbio was ordered to rush immediately to Ilcabere to prevent the possible crossing of the border by the Paramingchu army. The 1st Armored Regiment of the 1st Armored Brigade of the Capital then set off and will also rush to the Soken border. At the same time, the Eastern Military District will also send two infantry battalions to reinforce Ilkabere. Even at the Moi Air Base in the capital, Nairobi, the Kenyan Air Force's most advanced F-5E fighter jets, will be on standby. With a maximum combat radius of 1,000 km, the fighter can take off from the Moi Air Base in the capital to support any point of battle taking place throughout Kenyan territory.

In addition to the navy, in order to deal with the Ming Cook Army, the Kenyan army and air force will rarely cooperate. It can be seen how much attention the Kenyan political axe attaches to the Ming Cook Army and its determination to exterminate it.

As for the public skepticism and external pressure caused by the defeat in this war, the cabinet meeting unanimously agreed to push out Mulungaru, the person in charge of 'dealing with the Soken border conflict'. With the ouster of Mulungaru, he bought time for the political axe to strike at the Ming Cooking Army.

As for Mulungaru, who had been prepared for a long time, after several soldiers from the border battalion broke into the political axe tower, he did not resist at all and allowed these soldiers authorized by the National Defense Committee to take him away. It wasn't that Mulungaru didn't know what his end would be, but he didn't dare to run away; Returning to the capital to be investigated, the most you can do is step down. Neither the others nor the president will give much thought to a ousted Mulungaru. And if he escapes, the Kenyan political axe, who cannot explain to the outside world, will even take revenge on his family.

On the side of the Ming Cook Army, because of the victory in the war, a celebration party was held at the station in the evening. Although everyone knows that there may be a more dangerous situation to face next, a temporary victory is also a victory. Soldiers who have made meritorious contributions must be rewarded before the next war comes. In order to ensure that the soldiers can have greater courage and morale to cope with the battle that follows.

After the evening party was the commendation meeting, Shi immediately convened a meeting of the top brass of the Ming Cooking Army. The soldiers can rest for a while, but they can't rest for the top of the hierarchy. The tight heartstrings will continue until the war is over once and for all.

"I just received an order from the boss, a batch of weapons will be shipped here at noon tomorrow, Ah Xiang, you will meet the rat at noon tomorrow. Be sure to pay attention to security and confidentiality. These weapons are very important to our ability to withstand Kenya's retaliation in the future. Don't be sloppy at all! "At the beginning of the meeting, the stone threw out a piece of news that surprised everyone.

New weapons? Many people are confused. For the actual strength of the Xingchen organization, the senior management has a better understanding. Where are the new weapons in the organization now? But the stone said solemnly. Others have doubts and can only suppress them.

The fact that the top brass of the Ming Cook Army did not dare to ask did not mean that others did not dare to ask. Luo Xiang is one. He didn't know about it until the stone said it.

"Brother Shi, what kind of weapon is it? It's mysterious! ”

The others also looked at the stone with curiosity. The weapons that can play a key role in the next war are definitely weapons that the organization did not have before. What exactly it is, it is unknown.

"Hehe, it's a batch of anti-aircraft missiles. Isn't it important? With them, the Kenyan Air Force poses much less of a threat to us. And the army, I believe that everyone has the confidence to defeat them, so that they understand that the Ming Boiled Army is not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded at will. If you dare to offend us, you will have to suffer serious consequences......"
