Chapter 412: Raising the fire of the counterattack
Once upon a time, there was a strange boy from the school, who was tall, rustic in his clothes, and had ridiculous braids at the back of his head.
"Do you know the latitude and longitude of the road?" Looking at the rustic boy in front of him, the teacher asked arrogantly.
The boy shook his head dumbfounded.
"Do you know how to draw machine tools and water pipes?" The teacher continued to humiliate.
The boy did not speak, but took out a soft brush and drew a graceful dragon's whisker on rice paper.
The teacher shook his head helplessly, turned and left the classroom.
All the classmates started laughing at the boy, they called him dirty, they called him stupid, they kicked him, they beat him, and one of the little classmates even climbed on his shoulder and almost strangled him.
The boy who had gone through all this was silent, he put away the beautiful dragon whisker, and then without hesitation, he picked up the brush and tried to learn to draw the machine tool and water pipe that he was least familiar with.
Seeing that the boy was so serious, all the classmates who had bullied him became nervous, and they all ran over to comfort him: "Why do you want to paint these ugly machine tools and water pipes, you must know how beautiful the dragon whiskers you have drawn, you should continue to paint those beautiful dragon whiskers." ”
Hearing their words, the boy was silent for a long time, but his hand did not stop for a moment—"When I have learned all this, I will let all of you learn to draw dragon beards with me......"
……
In the private reception room on the first floor of the base, when Li Lan walked in, Zeng Zhihua, who seemed to be a little restless, had finished drinking a cup of tea and was pacing back and forth in the base. He whispered, "Li Lan, you must leave with me immediately." I have told the Lanzhou ship to be ready to sail, as soon as we arrive. You can go right away. ”
-- Dividing line --
The earth is shaking, the flames are churning, and groups of heavy artillery shells are whistling down, opening up patches of life Jedi on the earth, whether it is a special forces who have experienced a hundred battles and are known as killing machines, or a new soldier who has just picked up a gun, in the face of such a terrifying heavy artillery bombardment, there is only one way to die. watched quietly, letting the hundreds of lives struggle and wail. Until it is shattered by a shell, there is no sympathy, let alone mercy, just watch a short war film.
The missiles that took off in the air fell like meteors across the sky, and as soon as Changhong passed, there was a shocking explosion. The six V-1DD medium-range ballistic missiles, which had just been produced, became the main force of the first wave of counterattacks, after the coalition network was paralyzed. When the troops lost contact with the General Headquarters, the attack also came as scheduled.
This was Li Lan's plan very early on, because the United States was accustomed to placing its command structure on its own territory to ensure the security of its command center. But in the event of an unbearable cyber attack, the command structure will lose contact with overseas troops. The Americans never imagined that their 100,000-strong cyber command would not be able to stop the invasion of Somali cyber forces. No one believes this kind of thing. But facts are facts, and now the United States has to suffer the consequences of this seemingly superior arrangement.
Six ballistic missiles. Despite the fact that only two missiles accurately hit the target, this was quite enough. Coalition airfields located on the territory of Kenya and Ethiopia. In a short period of time, it was no longer possible to support the ground battlefield.
Long-range shells rained down, and the coalition forces, which had always been accustomed to using overwhelmingly superior technical equipment to clean up those uncivilized countries and nations, finally tasted the pain of being shorter than the sword today, and they were in a state of being beaten for the next few hours. The Red Guard artillery seemed very patient, constantly destroying their exposed firepower with precise point kills, the casualties caused by this knife cutting tactic were not large, but it hurt, Galcayo's Fourth Expeditionary Force was about to be beaten crazy! What's even worse is that the artillery fire is still coming from at least three directions, that is, they have already fallen into an arc encirclement!
In Galcayo, the 68th Armored Brigade of the U.S. Army has been divided into several sections, which cannot be echoed from beginning to end. The encirclement went well, but it was extremely difficult to eat the enemies in the encirclement. The 68th Armored Brigade quickly shrank its forces and hugged them together, like a group of hedgehogs covered in thorns, giving people a feeling that they had no idea what to do.
The armored brigade of the 1st Heavy Division braved the rain again and again to storm their front lines, but they were all beaten back by fierce fire. In the desperate situation, the ferocity and tenacity of the American soldiers in their bones completely broke out, and they swept with machine guns against heavy artillery bombardment, slashed with sappers, and bombarded with bazookas.
The terrain in the city of Galcayo was narrow, and it was impossible to use troops, so they could only use refueling tactics to invest regiment by regiment, and a war of annihilation that was determined to be won quickly turned into a war of attrition. Coalition transport planes risked crashes into the fog and airdropped much-needed supplies to the 68th Armored Brigade, which was costly and resulted in at least four transport planes being shot down, but the supplies were delivered to the 68th Armored Brigade. It was with these supplies that the 68th Armored Brigade was able to hold on. Of course, a lot of supplies were thrown at the positions of the Somali Red Police.
Just when the 68th Armored Brigade and the Red Guard Armored Brigade were repeatedly tug-of-war, the Italian Mechanized Infantry Brigade rushed to help. This Italian mechanized infantry brigade has a long history and has always been an elite unit of the coalition forces. As early as the First World War, the unit was known for being good at attacking fortifications, you must know that there were no armored troops at that time, there was no air force, spider webs generally extended in all directions, boundless minefields, denser than reeds, huge artillery groups, barbed wire and ubiquitous machine gun fortresses built into a terrible Shura slaughterhouse, stifling the living space of all strategies, the attack became extremely difficult and bloody, sometimes at the cost of tens of thousands of casualties a day, it could only advance a few hundred meters, the cruelty of trench warfare, Let people talk about the tiger color change.
It is really a surprise that there is still a unit fighting like a fish in water in such a brutal battle. Under the media reports, the predecessor of the Italian mechanized infantry brigade became the embodiment of the virtues of bravery, tenacity, ferocity, loyalty, etc., and was the sharpest sword in the hands of King Arthur.
However, if you put aside those beautiful words, it is not difficult to see that the Italian mechanized infantry brigade, like other units, also fell in pieces in the Shura slaughterhouse on the Western Front, and the entire battalion was wiped out. In the early days of the war, because they still knew nothing about trench warfare, some soldiers even wore grass skirts and played Scottish bagpipes in front of the ranks, while the large troops followed behind in a neat queue and advanced at a uniform pace, facing the German heavy machine guns, the consequences can be imagined———— no one could get out of 400 meters alive. In the same way, the officers beat the drums, the soldiers lined up in a neat line to the beat of the drums and kicked the advancing German army, and the war on the Western Front was almost a killing contest, with the Allies and the Allies competing to see who could kill more and kill faster. It is not easy for the Italian mechanized infantry brigade to pry the high ground after another with bayonets in such a killing field, and the name of the Italian mechanized infantry brigade will forever go down in history.
It's just that this heroic army, which has gone through the bloody storms of the two world wars, is about to face new challenges. Challenging them is a young but absolutely not to be underestimated———— a rapid reaction cluster formed by the temporary mixing of a battalion of the Digitized Infantry Brigade of the 1st Heavy Division, a Digitized Artillery Brigade and a Rapid Reaction Brigade!
The Italian mechanized infantry brigade was extremely fast, turning a blind eye to the frequent harassment of the Somali garrison, and rushed all the way, breaking through the five lines of the garrison's defense line one after another, and directly attacking Galcayo.
The Italian brigade commander, Major General David Jones, once patted his chest in front of Lieutenant General Jon and said: Hold Galcayo forever! With his assurance, Jon, then commander of the Fourth Expeditionary Force, was finally relieved. However, the reality is cruel, and when they finally see the hellish gate entrance of Galcayo, they also see the overwhelming cannonballs flying in the sky. The artillery radar calculated the trajectory, and these shells turned out to be flying from forty kilometers away!
There is no way to escape, there is nowhere to escape, and the forward reconnaissance battalion of the Italian mechanized infantry brigade is full of flesh and blood in an instant. The shells were as dense as a shower, and the orange flames rumbled like rolling thunder on the road, and both people and armored vehicles were instantly turned into a pile of debris and danced in all directions.
An artillery shell fell less than ten meters near the command vehicle, and the powerful blast wave unceremoniously overturned the command vehicle, killing two staff officers on the spot, and the battalion commander was covered with shrapnel, leaving only one breath, convulsing painfully in a pool of blood.
The reconnaissance battalion reacted quickly, unleashing a smoke screen to cover itself while leaving the road to disperse to avoid the shells. However, while they were in a mess, the houses on both sides of the highway fell down one after another, and groups of tanks rushed out of the streets. Several helicopters also rose from the ground between the houses, and one after another V-1FT anti-tank missiles flew out with a terrible scream, piercing through the thick armor and violently overturning the turrets of one tank after another, and the reconnaissance battalion was suddenly in trouble.
Major General David Jones was not too surprised to learn that the reconnaissance battalion had been ambushed, and in his opinion it would have been an accident if the reconnaissance battalion had not been attacked. It's just that the enemy is not as clever as he imagined, if it were him, he would let the reconnaissance battalion go over, wait until the main force enters the ambush circle, and then suddenly attack, so that the Italian mechanized infantry brigade will not return.
Soon, he immediately sent two battalions in an attempt to flank the enemy's left and right flanks, and the heavy artillery regiment gave these two battalions sufficient fire support. As for the reconnaissance battalion, it is now mixed with the enemy army and has no way to support, and how much it can survive depends on luck. (To be continued......)
