Chapter 430: The form is grim
This time, after Helon had killed all the top of the fortress's defenders, Fakhra took over the fortress fairly smoothly without encountering a trace of resistance. &{}. {}.}
The twenty-seven company commanders had no loyalty to Somat and Barre in the first place, and the reason why they surrendered to Barre and Somat in the first place was only because they were afraid of the 3,000 elite escorts.
Now that Barre and Somat and their convoy are dead, it is natural that these company commanders will not continue to be loyal to Barre's family, Fakhra has only stated his purpose, and none of the twenty-seven company commanders is unwilling to be loyal to Fakhra.
Fakhra was also very familiar with these company commanders, and directly promoted the capable company commanders to the rank of regiment commander and battalion commander, and the platoon commander was replaced, while Fakhra's personal escort took over the duties of these platoon commanders.
In this way, the leaders of the fortress were under the direct authority of Fakhra, and when Lilian was brought in by Fakhra, the officers directly expressed their submission.
It was not because of the defeat that they surrendered, but because these people sincerely expressed their gratitude to Lilian, and in the war-torn Somalia, there were still people who were willing to form refugee camps to take in the elderly, weak women and children, and the lonely and widowed elderly, and in the eyes of these soldiers, Lilian's glorious image was like a goddess.
Although Lilian's complexion is white, everyone knows how Lilian was born in Somalia, so they also agree that Lilian is Somali from the bottom of their hearts.
Now, the goddess-like Lillian has defeated Barley Egg with great strength, and Lillian is so kind and such a good leader, why not be allegiant.
So, under the leadership of Fakhra, everyone swore allegiance to Lillian.
After Lilian calmed the generals, Helong, who was sitting in the conference room, said to Fakhra: "After this battle, our crisis has not been resolved, you still have to be ready to fight." ”
Everyone also knows the identity of Hilong. It was the deserters who had already spread the word about it, and everyone admired Hailong's command ability.
At the same time, everyone who was so willing to spend money for the army and had long been angry because of the weapon was looking forward to Hailong's next move.
The most important thing is that after giving orders to the officers at all levels, Fakhra told everyone very seriously that from now on, the dragon king is the master of his Fakhra, and as long as you people are loyal to me one day, you must be loyal to the dragon king.
This makes the iron men who have been fighting in blood and fire confused. When everyone asked the reason together, Fakhra just told everyone, don't ask, the day you should know, you will know, and now it is good to follow me to be loyal to this dragon king.
They are all big and coarse, and they are all tendons, and these generals would have died in the battle a year ago if it were not for Fakhra's help. Everyone knows that Fakhra is a man of great wisdom, and since Fakhra has said so, these people will naturally follow suit.
Now that he heard Hailong say this, he couldn't help but look at Hailong at the same time. Fakhra stood up and bowed to Helong, then asked, "Master, I don't know why you say that." ”
Helong sat Fakhra down and said, "I've got news from outside. After Barre died, we couldn't sit still in Somaliland to the north and Puntland in the south, Barre died. They thought that there would be civil strife on our side, and they were all mobilizing troops, and there was not much time reserved for us, so we had to be ready. ”
Hearing Helong's words, the room instantly became gloomy, and Fakhra frowned and said, "Master, in this way, the fortress is afraid that it will not be able to stand it." ”
Fakhra, who knew the fortress best, couldn't stand it, which made Helong have a bad premonition in his heart, and Helong asked, "What's going on?" ”
Fakhra said helplessly: "Although the Somali army is only 70,000 people, in fact, since Somaliland declared independence, their army has been expanding.
Although the weapons and equipment are not very good, in the battles of the past few years, the other side has dispatched more and more troops every time, and in last year's battle, the other side directly dispatched 40,000 troops. ”
Hailong frowned and said, "Why are there so many people." ”
Fakhra continued: "Not only Somaliland in the north has a large army, but also in Puntland in the south, there are quite a few troops, almost 30,000 troops.
Last year, the two clans attacked the fortress together, not Fakhra himself boasted, if it were not for my command, we would have been defeated that time, and now the two clans are attacking at the same time, with the current strength of our army of 10,000 people, there is basically no possibility of victory. ”
Hearing Fakhra say this, Helong said: "In this way, Lilian still has 10,000 troops there, and 20,000 people together to defend this fortress, and let you be the commander-in-chief, do you think you can defend it?" ”
Fakhra still shook his head and said, "It's difficult, the last time I was able to hold it, it was because I took Barre's 3,000 elite guards to attack the other party's granary.
The other party had to retreat because of the lack of food, and this time, there was no elite escort of 3,000, and it was impossible for our 20,000 backward equipment troops to hold it. ”
Indeed, the standard equipment of the 20,000 troops is still an old assault rifle like AK-47, and everyone does not even have a grenade on their bodies, nor does they have a steel helmet on their heads.
When Helong entered the fortress just now, he saw that most of these soldiers were shirtless, but they didn't even have calluses on their shoulders, which showed that these soldiers rarely practiced shooting.
A poorly armed and poorly trained army relies entirely on the commander's personal command art and the courage of the soldiers to fight a war, and it is okay for such an army to bully the common people, but it will be defeated and collapsed when it encounters any regular army.
Hailong thought for a while and said to Fakhra and the other soldiers: "In this way, don't keep any bullets and shells stored in the warehouse, and from today onwards, let the soldiers under your command continue to practice and shoot until the inventory in the warehouse is empty."
I will provide you with new weapons and equipment, and I will replace your equipment with 20,000 people, and I will give you a unified replacement of the brand-new Russian-made AK-74 assault rifle.
On the other hand, I'm going to buy heavy weapons such as heavy artillery and heavy machine guns, and I'm going to get the engineering team to rebuild and strengthen the fort for you, so do you think there are any problems with the defense? ”
As Helong's words grew, the eyes of Fakhra and his officers grew brighter. When Helong finished speaking, Fakhra said excitedly: "No problem, as long as the master is willing to pay, let alone defend the attack of Somaliland and Puntland, even if I cultivate a hundred battle lions that sweep across Africa, I will have absolutely no problem." ”
Listening to Fakhra's excited words, Helong patted Fakhra's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, follow us and work hard, there will be a place for you on this continent of Africa." ”
Fakhra's eyes widened in surprise, and Fakhra knew it. I followed the right master.
After arranging the troops, Hailong said to Fakhra: "Take a few of your regiment commanders and battalion commanders with us to go back to the town of Gutila, bring back the 10,000 soldiers, and contact the soldiers here by the way." ”
Fakhra and the others had no opinion at all, and that afternoon they returned to the small town of Gutila with Helong and Lilian and the others.
Ever since Hailong left with Lilian and Fukuda Makako, Zhang Rang and the others have been in a state of unease, and in the eyes of Zhang Rang and others, this is simply an act of sending them to death.
His own forces had just defeated Barre's troops, killing more than 4,000 of Barre's troops. Even if Barre didn't die, just these robes that died in battle made the soldiers in the fortress hate themselves to death, how could they take the initiative to surrender.
So. Zhang Rang had already wanted Liu Yongan to go with the tank troops to support several times, but because Lilian had explained before that no action was allowed within three days, Zhang Rang could only anxiously spin in place.
Just after Zhang Rang had already made the 222nd lap in the house. Suddenly, the Scout arrives with news that Helong has returned with Lilian's forces and Fakhra.
Hearing that Hailong had seriously persuaded Fakhra to surrender, Zhang Rang excitedly led his men to ten miles away to greet Hailong, Lilian and others.
After Helong returned to the small town of Gutila. Naturally, a celebratory dinner was held to welcome Fakhra and these soldiers, and at the same time, Lilian also told Zhang Rang and others about Helong's plan.
While everyone was drinking, Hailong called Zhang Rang to his side and said: "Little brother, my brother-in-law has to leave tomorrow, because I have to deal with the remnants of Barre, I don't worry about sending others there, if one runs away, he will come back to us for revenge in the future, and we will be finished with one shot, so I am ready to go in person and solve them all." ”
When he heard that Hailong was leaving, Zhang Rang immediately became anxious, and the current situation of the base camp was inseparable from Hailong, but when he heard Hailong say that he was going to kill Barre's remnants, he was relieved.
Hailong continued: "Cheng Yulong and other members of the Marine Corps, I will leave 20 people to teach you how to use tanks, and I will let them return to the ship to continue trading activities.
Every month will bring you a lot of weapons and equipment and all kinds of materials, this time is the time for your rapid development, help your sister share the pressure, and you will have to rely on you to support this piece of heaven in the future. ”
While Hilong was instructing Zhang Rang, Lilian and Makako Fukuda ran to the other side, holding on to Fakhra, and when Fakhra found herself surrounded by a smiling Lilian and Makako Fukuda, Fakhra knew her tragedy.
Said helplessly: "Two ladies, don't force me, I know what you want to ask, I can't say anything about this, if I do, my life will be gone." ”
Lilian said suspiciously, "Fakhra, it's really fake. ”
Fakhra nodded and said, "Two ladies, it's true, don't force me, the only thing I can say is that the master is God, and Fakhra will follow the master for the rest of his life." ”
At this time, Helong appeared in time to rescue Fakhra, and Helong put one hand around the waist of a wife and said, "Two little girls, what are you doing?" ”
The two girls found out that they had been discovered by Hilong, and they all smiled and stuck out their tongues and said to Hilong, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Hailong was speechless, let Fakhra continue to be busy, and pulled the two women towards the yacht, seeing the direction of walking, the two women couldn't help but blush, and the two quietly said to Hailong: "Brother Dragon King, is this good, they are all watching." ”
Hailong said indifferently: "Just look at it, what are you afraid of, it's all my wife and I'm so shy, I have to leave tomorrow, and I won't be comfortable today." ”
Listening to Hailong's rogue words, the two of them were even more frightened.
After returning to the yacht, Hailong immediately turned into a midnight wolf and ravaged the two girls frantically for four hours, and only stopped when Hailong saw that the two women couldn't stand it.
Lying in Hailong's arms, enduring Hailong's unruly hands, Fukuda Makako bit her red lip lightly, and said angrily: "Quickly find us a few sisters, otherwise who will be bullied by you like this." ”
Lilian didn't agree with Fukuda Makako before, but now seeing that Hilong was still not satisfied, Lilian could only agree with tears. (To be continued......)
