The so-called defense system is completely in a state of fragmentation. And this is just the beginning, the tragedy has just begun.

The pressure of the heavy artillery rain took a heavy toll on the government forces, especially in the fighting in the city hall of Bossaso, which cost the government soldiers extremely much. Since neither side has air supremacy, the so-called counterattack is only a futile act of death.

After learning of the loss of the city government, the government forces organized a counterattack. And the Liliang of this counterattack is still not small, at least one regiment of Liliang, and even the counterattack operation was supported by a lot of 120-mm mortars and 107 canister rocket artillery.

One thing that has to be admitted is that some of the combat units armed by the government army still have a certain degree of military literacy. This is the only commendable place for government forces after years of turmoil.

The 120mm mortars were the last remaining artillery fire in the entire city, and it was a miracle that they were able to survive the heavy air raids and shelling.

Although it is a 120 mm gun, the lightness of this gun is good. The gun body is placed on the axle two-wheel moving body, which is not only highly maneuverable, but also suitable for infantry portability. It is for this reason that the 120-mm mortar was able to survive the air raids and shelling of the Red Police.

Long range, high accuracy and light weight, the advantages of the 120 mm mortar are very good, although production began in 1954, but from the mid-1970s this mortar was massively equipped with multinational armies. Moreover, there are 40 right-handed equal rifling wires in this barrel, and the outside of the barrel is engraved with heat dissipation threads, and the artillery belonging to the rifled mortar adopts two firing methods: mortar and pull fire. Therefore, it is possible to fire not only grenades, but also rocket range extenders.

So when the 120-mm mortars began to bombard the city hall of Bossaso, which was occupied by the Red Police, it was accompanied by the huge firepower brought by the 107 multiple rocket launchers for a short time. It was really a majestic. However, the distant artillery at the time of these artillery began to play through the artillery radar system. Their location has been detected instantaneously.

By the time the artillery of the government army began to shift, it was already too late. These artillery pieces placed on the pickup trucks, even with the pickup trucks, did not even have a chance to escape, and followed the whole strip of pickup, all shrouded in 155mm howitzers.

The location of the city hall of Bossaso is too important, and the fall of this point directly led to the entire city of Bossaso being completely cut off by the Red Police force, and they cannot care for each other. This is extremely dangerous for the soldiers of the Bossaso government army.

So all the guards near the Bossaso City Government were transferred, and in this way, a regiment of Liliang was put together. But for the government soldiers. It is better to hide in the stinky rubble like a rat than to be killed or buried alive by the Red Police soldiers. At least the air you breathe is still good.

However, it turned out that this was undoubtedly 'drinking doves to quench thirst', and drawing out the defense liliang to carry out a counterattack was equivalent to tearing down the east wall and making up for the west wall, and this kind of cooking was not only proved to be an ineffective and wasteful act of limited forces in the subsequent battle, but also a stupid madness. Because it was this counterattack that consumed the already small number of government troops, which directly led to the next big rout.

But this time. Neither the government soldiers nor the Red Police thought about what was going to happen. The former is already equivalent to gambling because making such a decision, while the latter is still confused at this time.

The artillery fire of the government counter-attack was indeed very fierce, and the 120-mm mortars were almost bombarding the city hall that the Red Police had just captured with the most intense rate of fire. A company of Red Guard soldiers who had just occupied the area had to hastily set up positions. Changing the offensive to defense, organizing resistance on the spot, and delaying the counterattack of the government army. And call for reinforcements.

"The other parties have to keep up enough pressure. In order to increase the oppression of the soldiers of the Bossaso government army, so that they can no longer form a response in the direction of the Bossaso city hall! "No matter what. Li Lan made the most reasonable judgment at the first time, and at this time, no matter where the armed forces of this regiment came from. The most important thing is to get rid of it first.

"Let the 3rd Battalion and 2nd Company press up, urgently reinforce the 1st Battalion and 1st Company, and the 2nd and 3rd Companies of the 1st Battalion continue to maintain the original attack!" Hofmande, the former enemy commander, also quickly made deployment adjustments, and in any case, he could not delay his offensive momentum on other sides because of the counterattack of the government army, which would be a trouble for the Red Police.

Regardless of whether this one is far from a strategic reserve or not, it must be defeated and destroyed. Hofmannd immediately ordered the 3rd Battalion, which was originally used as a follow-up cleaning team, to send 2 companies as reserves, urgently reinforcing 1 battalion and 1 company, and at the same time asked Xiao Yang to send a part of the reserve to the direction of reinforcing 1 company. Concentrate a certain number of superior forces and encircle and annihilate this government army directly in the direction of the Bossaso City Government.

The rain of bullets almost knocked the open space outside the ruins of the city hall building like a boiling kettle, and the chirping bullets continued to splash white smoke on the messy street, and the intertwined fire network was full of dense death.

Although the 1st Company guarding the Bossaso government building was fiercely counterattacked, it was not in any disorder, and the hastily organized fire network enveloped the attacking government forces in an instant.

40mm grenades descended one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the street was blown up in flames and thick smoke, and the cat-body charging government soldiers were stacked between the fire nets, and the bullets flying like a line of fire frantically licked the bodies of the government soldiers who were jumping forward and crawling in twos and threes.

Even the 60-millimeter mortars of the machine gun platoon were like hailstones that blew down deadly shells, and smoke and dust rose from the blooming firelight everywhere. There was no way to imagine what it would have been, and the frenzy of war had left everyone jaw-dropping. Government soldiers, battered by artillery fire and anti-personnel grenades, lay all over the ground.

Dying and struggling wounded could be seen everywhere among the dead bodies. They groaned, wailed, and cried out in agony. The wails were hard for everyone to avoid. But many of them simply couldn't continue to scream, because the crowd of people struggling between the corpses became the most targeted.

The 5.56 mm and 7.62 mm bullets tore through the terrible mist of blood between the piles of people. The muffled sound of a bullet entering a human body makes one feel the fear that swells up from the soles of your feet. The 60-mm mortar shells were even more splattered with flesh and blood. Even many of the corpses were plowed over. And the Red Guard soldiers who were holding their positions were still shouting and scolding, pouring more bullets. In addition to the constant rain of bullets, the wailing government soldiers were in a hurry to find their concealment.

A dozen or so government soldiers were sheltering behind a wrecked multi-purpose armoured transporter, which was destroyed by a flying anti-tank rocket just as the government forces began to counterattack. However, since the vehicle was not destroyed, the hull of the armored vehicle did not suffer much damage, but collapsed in the open space of the street like a stranded ship.

It is precisely because of this that the wreckage of this armored transport vehicle has become a shelter for government soldiers. The street was really open in space, except for some ruined ruins on the side of the road. There was no other place to hide, and the hapless government soldiers were almost helpless in the face of the frantic fire of the Red Alert soldiers.

However, such a shelter can attract the firepower of the Red Police soldiers, and the destruction of the chariot is enough to annoy the Red Police officers and soldiers. And now, these mongrels are still using the wreckage of their own chariot as a cover, hiding behind the hull of the car, dodging the rain of bullets. How could this not make the Chinese soldiers angry?

After hastily adjusting the direction, two 60-mm light mortars from the machine gun platoon began shelling the wrecked armored transporter. Both shells of the first round lost ground and did not hit the wreckage of this tank. However, it also scared the government soldiers hiding behind the vehicles. But before the hapless Bossaso soldiers could decide whether it was time to leave the already unsafe 'hideaway', the third and fourth shells fell.

The wreckage of the armored vehicle was hit by one shell, while the other exploded directly between the crowd behind the vehicle. But this is not just a tragedy, a volley of shells from 120-mm mortars on multipurpose infantry fighting vehicles is a nightmare for these government soldiers. When the multi-purpose armored transport vehicle was blown directly into a state of parts, the falling shells also directly engulfed the government soldiers in the flames.

The killing was extremely horrifying. Especially when the wheeled armored combat vehicle was directly hit by two 120mm grenades, the flying fragments of the vehicle's armor turned into terrible metal fragments in the blink of an eye. Between the four splashes, the killing effect of these fragments is no different from that of the shell skins. It can still make the poor government soldiers flesh and blood.

The biggest advantage of digital artillery is that it can deliver the artillery fire needed by infantry combat units to where they need it in the first time. The highly maneuverable, high-rate of fire multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicle with a 120 mm mortar can bombard any target the infantry needs in just a few minutes.

This is especially true of the heavy mortar platoon of the motorized infantry battalion, whose shells are always the most direct fire cover for the subordinate companies and platoons. Although the lethal effect of 80 mm is limited, its battlefield support is irreplaceable.

Almost at this time, the 155-mm 52-caliber vehicle-mounted howitzer weapon system of the heavy artillery brigade's support artillery battalion also successfully suppressed the artillery fire of the government forces. When the first row of 155-mm shells fell from the sky with a piercing screech and exploded into the sky, the government artillerymen, who had been frantically 'shouting', were dumbfounded.

The 120-mm mortars obtained by the government army from Ethiopia were wiped out in the blink of an eye under extremely accurate artillery suppression, the fire of the first round of artillery bombardment has not been extinguished, and the second round of shells is once again smashed down in unison.

In addition to the axle of the 120-mm mortar, the rubber tires on the lower frame of the gun body were still burning in the smoke. The gunners, along with their artillery, have become a thing of the past in the fireworks.

The muddy corpses and scattered metal parts seem to tell the story that the 120mm mortar is no match for the 155mm howitzer, and that this disproportionate artillery is used to cover fire with an opponent with a larger caliber artillery. It's just irrational behavior.

However, at this time, no one estimated what the wreckage of the artillery seemed to be trying to say, for the soldiers of the two armies who were in the middle of the battle. Killing each other is the most important thing. However, it seems that in this regard, it is also the Red Alert soldiers who are superior. They already occupy a geographical advantage, and they also have extremely strong firepower and will to fight.

Rows of meteor showers streaked across the night, blasting up flames in the direction of the south of the city. It was a magnificent picture of those rocket artillery in the heavy artillery brigade. From the day of the siege of Bossaso, these cramping large-caliber rocket launchers never seemed to stop howling. Day and night, rocket-driven grenades were smashed down.

Moreover, these damn long-range rocket artillery are hiding in the rear far away from the battlefield, and the bombardment distance can reach two or three hundred kilometers, and the range advantage can make these 'gods of war' splash their 'steel rain' on the launch positions far away from the battlefield.

Between the bursting flames of the shells, the counterattack of the government forces fell into a complete failure.

While the officers brandished pistols and told the timid soldiers to "resolutely not retreat," some government soldiers had begun to ignore the officers' reprimands. Instead, they kept fleeing the battlefield in groups of threes and twos.

And the officers who tried to maintain military discipline were no better, and under the guns of the Red Police non-professional snipers, those who were responsible were knocked on the door of the sniper shells that flew in. Some of the timid officers also began to flee the battlefield with the soldiers. Some people have already begun to tear off their military uniforms and raise their hands in the air, seeking a way to survive as prisoners of war.

However, for these government soldiers, it was too late. Whether it's going on the offensive, fleeing the battlefield, or surrendering as a prisoner of war. It's too late. Because the Red Police Force simply didn't give them a chance.

Hofmande's command and command ability as a heroic unit of the Red Police Base was vividly brought into play.

When the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade were counterattacked by the government forces, Hofmander did not directly reinforce the 1st Company, but ordered the 2nd and 3rd Companies of the 1st Battalion to continue to maintain their original offensive positions, and at the same time let the 2nd Company of the 3rd Battalion as a reserve go straight to the rear flank of the government army. A straight cut pierced the heart of the armed forces of the government forces in the direction of the entire Bossaso city hall.

Because Hofmander knows. The armed strength of the government army in that regiment alone could not gnaw at the hard bones of the 1st battalion and 1st company. And whether in artillery fire or other ground support, the advantage is in the hands of the Red Police Force.

It is almost impossible to injure the bones of the 1st battalion and 1st company of the mechanized infantry brigade. And this time. The most important way to cooperate with the 1st Company is to cut off the foundation of the government forces directly from the flank position. It's like a strong man. No matter how powerful he is, he just needs to empty his borrowing points. If he can't get his energy out, that's it.

The tank units of the armored brigade outflanked the streets on both sides, and when the armored transport vehicles brought in the strength of two motorized infantry platoons, the counterattack of the government forces in the direction of the entire city hall completely collapsed.

The collapse of the battle near the city hall of Bossaso brought about a catastrophic consequence for the government forces, and instead of doing anything, the counterattack that was like 'drinking doves to quench thirst' was completely plunged into an avalanche-like rout along with the entire front.

You must know that for such a counteroffensive, the combat strength of that regiment was drawn from the nearby garrison forces. In this way, only a small number of troops were pieced together, and an unsuccessful counterattack was to consume the troops that had been put together so hard. This is tantamount to not quenching the thirst, but drinking up the dove wine.

Naturally, the Red Guard Force will not give the government army a chance to repent. The 3rd Mechanized Infantry Battalion, commanded by Hofmann himself, attacked the starting position of the government attack from the flank position, and did not directly relieve the 1st Battalion and 1st Company at all. This imposing move simply stunned the commander of the armed government army, and he also knew that once the back road was cut off. Then don't talk about any counteroffensive, the family of this only remaining regiment will be considered finished.

"What could be more suitable for such a scene than Mr. Sun Bin's method of 'encircling Wei to save Zhao'?" Li Lan, who was sitting in the base car, smiled and said to Natasha beside him: "This Hoffmande." It's not a small handwriting. He wants to encircle and annihilate this government army in one go. ”

Li Lan admired Hofmander's trick of 'drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle'. This is the case with soldiers, making quick decisions and finding out where the enemy's true pulse is. One blow hit, ruthless and accurate, Liliang and the enemy's weakness are very accurate. Moreover, the significance of a defeat battle and a battle of annihilation is even more different in urban street fighting. The counterattack of the Israeli government forces could not hurt the troops who had extended the offensive at all. And at this time, why not let the 1st Company become bait, so as to achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy's life.

The 155-mm 52-caliber vehicle-mounted howitzer weapon system of the self-propelled artillery battalion of the heavy artillery brigade diverted their artillery support after a barrage bombardment in Zuihou. The stunned government soldiers did not have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and under the rumbling roar of the tanks, the infantry under the cover of Chinese armored fighting vehicles appeared on the street corner. Apparently, the Red Guard soldiers were coming.

The sudden appearance of Chinese troops on the flanks obviously caused the government forces to fall into a panic. When those multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles, multi-purpose armored transports run over the mess everywhere, spitting hot fiery snakes. When the motorized infantry covering the cat's advance pressed up, the government infantry, which had already been beaten badly by the stubborn defensive firepower of the 1st Battalion and 1st Company, could no longer bear the strength. The rout also began.

The Red Police, outflanked on both flanks, made the government forces jump desperately to survive like fish thrown into a pot of boiling water. But does it all work? The rain of rockets and the rain of machine guns and machine guns completely made these Bossaso government soldiers lose the will to continue fighting. Faced with the rumbling group of Chinese armored fighting vehicles, these government soldiers had no choice but to surrender or be killed.

Groups of Humvee-tall vehicles and multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles drove government soldiers out into the streets like shepherd dogs. Amid the shouts of the Red Guard soldiers, the government soldiers who chose to lay down their arms gathered together blankly, holding their heads in their hands and squatting in a ball.

The Chinese soldiers leaning outside the machine gun tower and turret control the 7.62 mm and 12.7 mm machine guns and 40 mm grenade launchers in their hands. Fiddling back and forth with these Bossaso government soldiers. There are also snipers lying on the high ground, as if their eyes have never taken off the scope, the roar of the tank. All this seemed to tell the government soldiers, "You don't want any attempts, no one to resist." will bring about the death of a group of people around them. ”

"Alright, inform the 3rd battalion and hurry up to catch up. We can't stop for too long! Looking at the battlefield that exploded into flames not far away, Hofmannd waved his hand. Said to the communications soldiers. It seems that Bossaso's battle has indeed reached the time of Zuihou.

The 2 battalion and reconnaissance company, which had pressed up from the northern front, were also sweeping through their target area. It won't be long before the combat forces of the western and northern fronts can converge in the city of Bossaso. At that time, the government troops retreated eastward to the sea and the foot of the mountain. There was no way out, because the retreat to the south of the city had been cut off by the tank battalion of the mechanized infantry brigade.

To the north, the 1st Tank Battalion of the Armored Brigade, with the cooperation of the Armored Brigade Infantry Battalion, also launched a continuous offensive against the port of Bossaso, where the Bosaso government forces were most heavily defended. Faced with the erodive situation, Awel issued a slogan of swearing to live and die with Bossaso, and a large number of troops were mobilized to the port.

There is no way to do it, whether it is international aid or Ethiopian aid, it must go ashore through the port, and if the port is occupied, then the government army will face the situation of a turtle in an urn.
