Volume 5 Chapter 582 Be ruthless

"Ah...... Kill the invaders...... "An old man who usually walks with a cane, holding a wooden gun in his hand, suddenly stood up from a stinking ditch on the side of the street with round eyes, and stabbed a Somali soldier on the side of the road with a hideous smile.

"......" I don't know if the old black man is not strong or has bad eyes, but at the critical moment, the soldier reacted, quickly twisted his waist, and the wooden gun grazed the soldier's lower abdomen and stabbed in the air. But even so, the terrified soldier could feel a burning pain in his abdomen, and he knew that the old man in front of him had injured him.
"Poof!" Another soldier more than a meter away saw that his companion seemed to be frightened, his heart jumped, and he raised the rifle in his hand and stabbed the old black man in the chest, the bright bayonet easily separated the person's skin and muscles, and completely submerged into the old man's chest.
Camo, the commander of the Seventh Regiment, who was sitting in the command car, saw this scene, and his brows had already condensed into a Sichuan character. Since half an hour ago, on both sides of the three streets where the Seventh Regiment had advanced, there had been such examples of primitive people attacking soldiers with homemade weapons. At first, because the soldiers regarded these old, young, weak and disabled as civilians without a threat and directly ignored them, resulting in more than a dozen casualties, after he learned the news, he immediately ordered the soldiers of the whole regiment to kill them as enemies as soon as they found anyone who posed any threat.
Kenyans are so ruthless! Camo naturally knows what these 'fearless' people are for. In addition to the old and weak women, these people are some young people who are full of 'passion'. The purpose of the unfatal shock force is to consume the ammunition of the troops, so that the infantry regiment, which is good at long-distance running and rapid reaction ability, will sooner or later fall into the 'vast ocean' of the Kenyan people.
In Africa, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled do not have any welfare benefits, especially some people who live in poverty, endure diseases and have a large family to support, as long as they have some demagoguery and pay some money and food, they can let their relatives get food and clothing, and they are still full of temptation for those who are about to die. In addition, this kind of suicide attack is a counterattack against the invaders, and the political axe will not leave the living people alone.
As time passed, Camo's heart became anxious. The ammunition storage of the infantry regiment is running out, and half of the fuel for the vehicles is consumed, if this is on the territory of Somalia, it is nothing, but here is Kenya. In the absence of logistical supplies, if they do not complete their mission and leave the city as soon as possible, they may become the first Somali force to be captured or 'completely annihilated'.
"Number 9...... Number 9 ...... I'm number 16, oh my god, there was a wall of people in front of me, and the street was blocked...... "The command car where Camo is located is number 9, and there is a call for instructions in the intercom in the car.
Camo glanced out with a headache, and along the gap in the alley, he even saw some figures in civilian clothes approaching this side.
"Commander......," the adjutant shouted cautiously. No one has ever encountered such a situation. In the face of civilians with weapons, shooting and killing will have little effect. After all, on the battlefield, civilians with weapons are threatened enemies, and if they are unarmed civilians and they also massacre, it will be too much of a blow to the image of Somalia. I believe that the media of those countries in the United States will absolutely not let go of this opportunity to strike at Somalia.
", these lunatics." Carmo seemed to come to his senses, and cursed in his mouth.
"Pass my order, all the infantry get on the car, and then all the chariots will give me more horsepower to rush over, and I will bear all the consequences!" A cruel look flashed in Camo's eyes and he made a decision.
In the city, with the ramming power of infantry fighting vehicles, there is really nothing on the streets that can stop it. The 7th Mechanized Infantry Regiment was silent for a while, and all the chariots increased their horsepower and rushed towards it with a roar of rage. No matter what lies ahead, obstacles, knocks down; Man wall, knock down......
The 48 tanks seemed to be out of control, ignoring the desperate faces of the Kenyan citizens, and in the hideous faces of the drivers, everything was smashed to pieces.
The soldiers have long been furious because of the despicable actions of these Kenyan civilians, and now with the order of the regiment commander, it doesn't matter if you are a civilian or not, the war is cruel. At this time, what life is higher than everything is vain, and there is no human affection to talk about in the struggle to the death.
"Crazy...... It's crazy......" Kibwana muttered as he sat limply in his chair, his eyes blank. All movements of the enemy did not escape the surveillance of the military. When he learned that the enemy was not even alive or dead the civilians who were 'spontaneously' protesting, he knew that the matter was no longer under his control.
Garissa is an important town in eastern Kenya, and there are still many foreigners. Since the Somali 7th Mechanized Infantry Regiment entered the city, many well-intentioned people have been following the development of the situation. At first, many people thought that the 7th Mechanized Infantry Regiment would end up like the 'Operation Hope for Peace' carried out by the United States in Mogadishu, which began with a violent start and ended up fleeing in disarray. After all, in the city, a small space is very unfavorable to the combat effectiveness of mechanized troops. It would be easy to capture Garissa if there were still a large infantry force to follow the action, but looking at the size of the Somali infantry regiment, it was obvious that it was a surprise force, and it was impossible to carry a sufficient number of infantry companions.
However, as the soldiers and militia organized by the Eastern Military Region were gradually wiped out by the Somali army, the resistance became weaker and weaker, and many people believed that Garissa City could not be saved, and at least the command of the Eastern Military Region in Kenya would be occupied by the Somalis.
However, events often unexpectedly unexpected. I don't know if it was because the Kenyan political axe was doing a very good job of patriotic propaganda and education, or because of some other reason, there were many almost 'unarmed' civilians around the route of the Somali army's attack, armed with rudimentary weapons, ambushing Somali soldiers, and throwing stones and gasoline bottles at combat vehicles. A picture of Kenyan citizens standing up bravely and fearlessly fighting the invaders is revealed to the world.
However, there are still many people who have noticed the anomaly, such as the citizens who fought back against the 'invaders', most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, the kind of people who have little ability to survive. There were even elderly people who couldn't even lift wooden sticks and staggered towards Somali soldiers and chariots.
This unbelievable situation is amazing. Could it be that all the young adults in Garissa City have died? Only the active person faintly understands the whole thing behind the scenes, there are organizers. The organizers are either the Kenyan political axe or the army.
This has led to a deep disgust among many who would have sympathized with the 'desperate death' of Kenyan citizens. As a soldier, not only could he not defend his home and country when the enemy invaded, but also let those old men and women go to the front line to fight, blocking the enemy's steel chariot with flesh and blood.
Scenes of tragic scenes were filmed by people in the shadows, and words that were either touching or resentful came to life......
At 13:50 on April 7, 2007, the headquarters of Kenya's Eastern Military Region was breached by the Somali army, and the chief of the General Staff of the Kenyan Armed Forces and the commander-in-chief of the war against Somalia, General Kibwana, committed suicide in his office.
At the same time, the air base in the city of Massabbubu, 70 kilometers south of the city of Garissa, was destroyed by the Somali Air Force, which arrived later, after Somali ground intelligence officers destroyed the runway with rockets. In this battle, the main squadron of F-5E fighters of the Kenyan Air Force was destroyed on the ground, except for those that were shot down.
One bad news after another reached the capital, Nairobi, and Kenya's political axe was at a loss like an abandoned child. This is a situation that they have never imagined in any way.
In the minds of the political axe leaders, even if there are unpredictable variables in the war against Somalia, Kenya will be able to withdraw its troops in time to ensure the security of the homeland. Now, however, the Eastern Military Region Command, one of the three major military regions, has been captured by Somalia, and a large group of Kenyan officers have been captured and left calmly. Then the Kenyan Air Force, which was at a disadvantage in the air battle with Somalia for air supremacy, was destroyed on the ground by the enemy and completely lost air supremacy. There is also a more important issue, which is that a tank regiment that 'entered' Somalia, three infantry regiments totaling more than 10,000 Kenyan soldiers, is now surrounded by two elite Somali infantry brigades in a large canyon in Lower Juba State, and without supplies and support, the final outcome is to become Somali prisoners.
It can be said that from the current point of view, in the war with Somalia, Kenya not only did not gain enough benefits and benefits as expected, but also lost 60% of Kenya's regular army, a headquarters was captured, the chief of the general staff was lost, and even the main force of the air force was wiped out by the enemy. How heavy should such a loss be for an African country?
This is still a simple military calculation, such as political impact and economic losses, which are still difficult to estimate.
Kenya's political axe leadership is now in complete chaos. The 'Ken League', which was already dissatisfied with the current political axe formed by the National Rainbow Alliance, once again stood up to incite the people and attack the prestige of the political axe.
If there is no strong support from the outside world, the internal power will be the lightest, and it will even directly affect the ruling foundation of the 'National Rainbow Alliance,' and decades of hard work will be in vain."
At this time, the only person who can save Kenya is the person behind the planning of the operation against Somalia. Kenyan President Mwai urgently summoned the U.S. ambassador to Kenya, Rothger, to discuss countermeasures.
A full hour later, the staff of the president's office watched in amazement as the smiling president sent the U.S. ambassador out the door. The look of anxiety on the president's face an hour ago is gone. Could it be that the president received some kind of promise or guarantee from the United States?
The news quickly leaked from the mouth of an unnamed official, and the countries and media that had followed the Soken war were once again excited......
