Only victory can become an immortal legend, and no one will remember those who are defeated, and no one will remember the identity of the losers.

After the artillery was eliminated by the sudden sentry shells, coupled with the reckless order, which caused hundreds of soldiers to fall outside the city walls, he was already on his way to the end of the loser.

At dusk that day, Awei, who learned of the tragic situation on the front line, was as angry as a red-eyed bull, if it weren't for the distance of 300 kilometers, Yan Longtao's life would have been gone, even if he was deeply trusted, it would be difficult to bear the anger.

In the end, he still saved a small life, of course, only temporarily. Awei only gave him two days, and the time was counted from tomorrow, if he couldn't capture this base in two days, he would only have to decide his own fate.

And after Awei gave the target of Geng Longtao's life, there were more than a dozen more government soldiers around him, who were ordered to supervise him, as long as he did not complete the task, or dared to escape, these soldiers would not hesitate to shoot him.

However, Awei did not give him a chance at all, and sent another force of 2,000 men from Bossaso, and also carried a lot of heavy weapons, as well as an armored battalion.

Puntland and Somaliland, two countries that have declared independence from Somalia, have been subject to territorial disputes, and armed conflicts have occurred frequently for nearly a decade, from the late nineties of the last century to the end of the nineties of the twenty-first century.

As the largest city closest to Somaliland in the state of Puntland, Bari in Puntland, the military liliang of the government army cannot be said to be very strong, but it is not very weak either. Because he has to be prepared to deal with the pressure coming to Somaliland.

At present, Somalia is divided into three countries, including the Southwestern Republic of Somalia in the southwest corner, and among the three independent republics, Somaliland is the most powerful, and even the Somali government and rebels in Mogadishu cannot compete with Somaliland.

In addition to having a relatively complete government structure, which is an important reason for Somaliland's strength, Somaliland's armed Liliang is its foundation.

Somaliland has a regular army of more than 80,000 trained by foreign military instructors, four tank brigades, fifteen mechanized infantry brigades, four marines, surface-to-air missile brigades, three artillery brigades, a special field battalion of 300 men and an anti-aircraft artillery battalion. (Gorgeous words: Don't believe Du Niang!) ）

And in response to the threat posed by Somaliland, Bossaso had a three-battalion tank brigade as early as ten years ago. However, due to the lack of regular logistics and maintenance, the original tank brigade now has only two tank battalions left that are not fully formed, and one tank battalion can come up with 20 tanks that can fight, and it can already burn high incense. And the tanks that these two tank battalions have are still the old tanks of the fifties of the last century.

The skin is thin and bulky, and it is easy to cause accidents, and there are all kinds of troubles. In addition, due to the trouble of maintenance and the absence of new blood, the combat readiness of these two tank battalions is even worse.

But even so, these two tank battalions are still Awei's heart, and he doesn't know how many times he has fought mentally to be able to take out a tank battalion. If it weren't for the wealth that Li Lan has, and he was afraid of long nights and dreams, he wouldn't have used these treasures at all.

Awei's move is also quite helpless, the government army is not fully organized, except for the large number of soldiers, there is nothing to show. Even the best of the best ones are just because of the large number of soldiers, and the quality of the soldiers is very low due to the long-term lack of training. Otherwise, he would not have been able to let the Bossaso parties exist for so long.

The same is true of artillery and well-equipped tanks, poorly staffed, with a serious lack of training, and the soldiers are lazy and have no faith except for money.

The Bossaso government, which claims to have 50,000 mercenaries, is actually inferior to the 10,000 sergeants in the Somaliland government army.

In addition, it is important to note that the city walls, which have been used for thousands of years, have been less effective since the use of artillery on the battlefield. But for those shili who did not have siege artillery, the city wall still played a good role.

Didn't the Bossaso government army have artillery for the fortification? The answer is yes, of course. But only large-caliber towed guns with a long range were missing. Throughout Bossaso, there were not a few artillery pieces such as howitzers and cannons that could be found, except for those MLRS that were simply operated.

Even the kind of artillery of the Second World War era, Bossaso didn't have it. Because this kind of artillery is basically difficult to exert its effect in Somalia, especially in guerrilla warfare and street fighting, these artillery pieces that need to be cared for and difficult to transfer quickly are of little use. And it is very easy to destroy, and it is not as good as those mortars mounted on cars.

And this kind of artillery, which can easily reach several tons, is weaker than the 107 multiple rocket launcher, except for the firing range.

In this situation, even the artillery left over from the pre-1991 Somali government is now largely abandoned.

This time, in response to Li Lan's military action, Awei's determination is very firm, otherwise he would not have used the tank force that he had been reluctant to use. In his opinion, Li Lan is very rich, and there is no need to question this at all now. Even if this tank battalion is seriously depleted, as long as it can achieve its goal, he can be re-armed, and it is far superior to the current armored force.

His idea was to use rocket artillery to blow down the target's city wall, and then use the tank as the lead, so that no matter how many soldiers Li Lan had under his command, he would not be able to stop the rolling iron flow of the tank.

Therefore, he only gave Yan Longtao two days, in addition to increasing the pressure on Yan Longtao, he also hoped that the war could end quickly.

On the other side, Li Lan, who was visiting the wounded soldier in the hospital, received a notice from Farah when the government army's vast reinforcements began to start Bossaso.

The hotel owner, who has a lot of energy in Bossaso, began to take the initiative to provide Li Lan with necessary information after Li Lan asked Shili to take the initiative to retreat, and his position has changed significantly. However, this time, even he didn't know whether Li Lan could win or not, after all, tanks still have a good deterrent capability in the minds of Somalis.

When he sent information to Li Lan, he also sent the tank performance of the government army.

Li Lan was very grateful for Farah's increasingly clear position, but now because of the situation, he could not take practical actions to thank the other party, so he could only thank him again and again, and also expressed his importance to this information.

However, while thanking me, Li Lan was also very curious and asked: "Mr. Farah, I am very curious, after all, speaking of which, I am an outsider, and you want to help me like this, you must know that this is an act of treason in the country's righteousness." ”

"Huh!" Farah, who was on the phone, smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Li, what is the reason why my hotel has not been disturbed by other shili, and the government army will not come to my shili range?" Do you know? ”

"I'm curious." Li Lan was a little puzzled. Listening to Farah's question, he knew that the answer probably had little to do with the strength of the troops. As for the rest of the answers, he was completely unclear.

"Don't worry, as long as you can make the government army unable to help you, then I will tell you the answer myself." Farah said this, paused for a moment, and continued: "Actually, I don't like the current Bossaso government, and I don't have any good feelings for the powerful Aweil. ”

Regarding Farah's remarks, Li Lan naturally believed that if there was no such factor, how could Farah help an outsider so much to deal with the nominal government of his own country.

"Then I look forward to our next meeting, and I believe that you and I will have a more in-depth and mutually beneficial cooperation at that time." Li Lan said.

"Mr. Li, it seems that you are full of confidence in the victory of this conflict!" Farah had always been curious about Li Lan's faith and the source of his confidence.

"My faith comes from my soldiers, and how can a soldier fail with his life." Confidence, even if Li Lan doesn't have it, in front of Farah, he must pretend to be full of confidence. For Farah's tentative words, he already had a draft in his heart: "For the sake of this new base built together, every soldier of mine, even if he sheds a drop of blood, will take up arms and fight." With such soldiers, how can I be defeated? ”

"Why are they giving so much?" On the phone, Farah was even more confused.

"Looking forward to our next meeting! You and I will have the answer then. ”
