Chapter 547: The Battle of Mogadishu (2)
Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Lilian, Makako Fukuda saw Lilian's embarrassment and took the initiative to take the words.
Fukuda Makako coughed lightly, so that everyone focused their eyes on herself, and then, Fukuda Makako stood up, with a solemn face, and said to everyone in a loud voice: "Don't worry, everyone, Hailong's soul went to the world of the dragon god because of the call of the dragon god, although we don't know when Hailong will wake up, but Hailong has been gone for more than a month, and Hailong's health is getting worse and worse, I believe that the dragon god will definitely let Hailong come back before Hailong's body has problems." "As a last resort, Fukuda Makako can only make up nonsense.
At this time, the body of the selong was indeed extremely poor, and it was no longer possible to keep the selong's body alive by just injecting the nutrient solution, and he could only rely on putting the crystal nucleus of an ordinary giant jellyfish into the mouth of the selong every day to maintain his life.
Everyone also knew about Hailong's current situation, so everyone couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.
Makako Fukuda looked at the families in front of her, including the Dir family in Puntland, the two small families in Mogadishu and the two families in southwestern Somalia.
Now that they have reached this step in the field, only these five families are willing to help Lilian and others, and the other major families have fled from Mogadishu in 6 consecutive ways after learning that the African Union has also sent 2o people to participate in the war, and when these people left, they took away a large amount of food and weapons from Mogadishu.
The former patriarch of the first family in Puntland, Diel, because of the grace of the dragon god, regained his youthful appearance, and after knowing that the dragon god cult was in crisis, Dill immediately rushed back from the African Big 6, and helped Fakhra to deter all the restless forces in the tribe, and, Dill brought the entire clan elite to Mogadishu. Help Lillian take control.
After listening to Fukuda Makako's words, Dill stood up first and said to the people in front of him: "Brothers of the Dragon God Sect, we are deeply blessed by the Dragon God, and now, it is time for us to dedicate our faith to the Dragon God, don't be afraid of injury, don't be afraid of death, even if we die, the Dragon God will extradite us to a pure world." ”
Deere is a living example. Everyone knows what Dill looked like before, he was old and needed to rely on crutches to stand up, but now Dill has become more than 3o years old, and he walks like a fly, so with Dill as an example, everyone here is no longer afraid of death. Because, they also believe that the dragon god will eventually give them salvation.
Also thanks to the emergence of the Dragon God Cult, Mogadishu at this time. There was an extremely fanatical religious feeling, and basically the people at the bottom of Mogadishu were all staunch believers in the Dragon God Cult, because of the large population of Mogadishu. In order to gain faith, Hilong deliberately arranged a large number of priests in Mogadishu.
The original "Dragon's Tooth Incident" was just one example, and there were countless families like Dragon's Tooth. was rescued by the priest, so at this time, Mogadishu was full of people who asked to join the army and serve the country.
Lilian's biggest worry is not the problem of personnel at all, Lilian's worry is about weapons, but unfortunately, there is no arsenal in Mogadishu, although the experts withdrawn from the Dragon God Arsenal have been using the existing equipment to make weapons and equipment day and night, but at this time, the first shot of the battle of Mogadishu fired.
After the 3,000 heavy guns of the British army were unloaded on the shore of Bal'ard and entered the position, George picked up the liaison and told the four countries that the British army was ready for battle.
Hearing George's words, Shikoku Yuan, who had been waiting for a long time, said to George: "Please provide fire support." ”
The special forces team responsible for determining the coordinates had entered the African Union army at this time, and with George's order, the special forces team immediately took out a map and gave the coordinates that needed to be bombed through the observation of the front line.
When the coordinates were determined, dozens of bombers on the Invincible aircraft carrier took off from the aircraft carrier one after another and came towards the position of the Dragon God Army, while the artillery unit located in Bal Ad quickly changed the direction of the muzzle according to the coordinates.
With the wave of the command flag, in an instant, 3,002o3 mm cannongs, grenades, cannons, cannons, and shells shot out of the cannons of the cannons one after another, and bombarded the position of the Dragon God Army.
The positions established by the Ryujin Army around the entire Mogadishu were bombarded by artillery and bombers for more than three hours, and when the entire bombardment was over, although the Ryujin Army did not suffer many casualties, the well-arranged fortifications were greatly damaged.
When the bombardment was over, the four heads of state of the African Union immediately demanded that the troops attack from all sides, and strive to directly defeat Fakhra's army in one go.
Fakhra knew for a long time that this would be a tough defensive battle, but this kind of coordinated operation of the Air Force and the 6th Army was the first time Fakhra had encountered it.
Although Fakhra's carefully prepared fortress tactics caused a lot of damage to the AU at the beginning of the war, each fortress was destroyed by the rapid bombardment or long-range artillery before it could be used for a while, and the entire outlying position was captured by the AU army on the first day.
Looking at the battle damage on the first day, the Dragon God Army, which had more than 130,000 people, actually killed more than 30,000 people on the first day, which made Fakhra's forehead sweat cold.
Fakhra knew that the battle could not be fought like this anymore, and after thinking about it, Fakhra took advantage of the enemy's rest and returned to the city overnight to discuss with Fukuda Makako and others.
Seeing that Fakhra was back, Fukuda Makako and the others knew that something was wrong, looking at Fakhra's appearance in a cold sweat and frowning, Fukuda Makako asked: "General, what happened at the front line." ”
After Fakhra took a breath, he said to Fukuda Makako: "Mrs. Kako, the enemy's attack is too fierce, and there is air force support, we lost nearly 30,000 soldiers on the first day, although the enemy also suffered heavy losses, but we can't withstand such a war of attrition, I propose, can we let the soldiers return to the city of Mogadishu in advance to fight in the streets, maybe in this case, we can hold out for a while longer." ”
Originally, entering the city for street fighting was the last reluctant decision proposed by Fakhra before the battle, but Fukuda Makako and others did not expect that Fakhra would ask for a street battle on the first day of the war, which made Fukuda Makako and others immediately do not know how to get better.
Fukuda Makako's originally coquettish face frowned at this time, and asked anxiously: "General, is there no other way, you know, when we enter the street battle, we really don't have any room for maneuver." ”
On the first day of the battle, Fakhra was extremely aggrieved, not because of Fakhra's command ability, but because of his knowledge, although Fakhra has rich combat experience and graduated from the German 6th Army Officer Academy, Fakhra has commanded so many years of fighting, and he has never seen the Air Force on the big 6 in Africa, even if the word Air Force is the word, Fakhra is about to forget.
How can there be an air force in poor Africa, so in the face of the enemy's new combat method, in the absence of air defense weapons, Fakhra could not find a way to crack it for a while, and 30,000 people died on the first day, and Fakhra did not dare to fight the second day no matter what.
The only way Fakhra could think of a solution was to rely on the city of Mogadishu, and only when soldiers entered the city, the British bombers could not bomb at will, after all, there were civilians living here, and if the British army continued to bomb like this, there would be absolutely no way to bear the condemnation of the international community.
Hearing the reason Fakhra said, in order to further delay the time, Makako Fukuda could only reluctantly choose to agree on behalf of everyone.
Seeing that Fukuda Makako agreed, Fakhra immediately returned to the front line, and at this time, the AU attacked again, and the four countries in the base camp in the rear were holding their wine glasses high to celebrate the victory on the first day.
The four heads of the African Union did not expect that with the help of the British army and air force, this war would be so easy, and Fakhra's name was very loud in the whole of Africa, especially Fakhra led his troops to capture the entire Ethiopia, which made Fakhra's name praised all over the world.
For a time, many military commentators in the world praised Fakhra as one of the best military strategists of the 21st century.
Therefore, on the first day of the attack, Shikoku Yuan only had the attitude of trying it out, but he did not expect that under the precise guidance of this special forces team, relying on the strong air force and long-range artillery support of the British army, he successfully defeated the outer fortress of Fakhra.
Although the soldiers lost more than 30,000 people, it was all worth it, according to statistics after the war, from the corpses all over the ground, his subordinates reported that Fakhra's army also lost about 30,000 people, so that the four countries were more at ease, in the eyes of the four countries, even if they were one for another, the final victory must be their own side.
Therefore, that night, after resting, Shikoku Yuan immediately asked his soldiers to attack overnight, trying to defeat Fakhra's second line of defense tonight.
Unfortunately, the hopes of the four kingdoms were doomed to fail, and Fakhra let the soldiers withdraw to the city smoothly, and in the battle that night, Fakhra asked Talfa to sit for him, and Fakhra himself went to the front line in person, boosting morale, and discounting the soldiers to repel the enemy's three attacks in a row.
Because it was night, the British bombers could not be dispatched, and only relied on the support of artillery and artillery, and in the end, they did not attack, and in the second half of the night, after seeing that nothing could be done, Shikoku Yuan decided to give up the attack, and after waiting for the dawn, he relied on the bombers of the British army, and then attacked Fakhra's second line of defense.
