――――The following text――――

In the console of the base, in front of Li Lan was a simulated map of the entire territory of Port Said Province in Egypt.

Port Said is the Mediterranean outlet port of the Suez Canal and the only gateway to the Red Sea.

The Second Middle East War between Britain, France, and Israel was to gain control of this area, control Port Said, and thus control the Suez Canal.

It was only when it was opposed by the whole world that it had to end the war and withdraw its troops in a hurry.

It is also in this way that the real contradictory relationship between Egypt and Israel for decades has been unraveled.

It can be called a battleground for soldiers, and it is an important link in the control of this region by the United States.

The US military has military bases in Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, and Egypt, spanning Europe, Asia, and Africa, and controls the Black Sea, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf.

Among them, the position of Egypt and Turkey are particularly important, although there is no need to hold the Black Sea now, but Turkey is an important guarantee for the European NATO corps to enter the Middle East.

At that time, the whole of Turkey will be the main logistical force of NATO's combat forces in the Middle East, and its status and importance are self-evident.

And Egypt is also very relevant here. The Red Sea has long been the world of Somalia, and no matter how strong the United States is, it will not dare to be threatened by Somalia's 6-base electromagnetic railgun. Heading to the Red Sea, it's definitely looking for death.

It can be said that the entire Red Sea to the east of the Sinai Peninsula, which connects Africa and Asia, is not a place where NATO troops can fight smoothly.

In order to ensure the situation in the Mediterranean, NATO had to hold the Mediterranean exit of the Suez Canal in Egypt, and could not allow Somali ships to enter the Mediterranean Sea smoothly.

Because NATO wants to maintain the initiative in the war, the Mediterranean must be firmly in its hands, even if a Somali submarine arrives. can all be called a factor of instability.

A large number of NATO's military weapons and troops need to be transported and turned over in the Mediterranean, and a large number of ground troops can be used. Quickly reach the Middle East and Africa to maintain a sustainable offensive capability in the Middle East and Africa.

Therefore, it is not allowed to lose control of the Suez Canal under any circumstances.

As far as Li Lan is concerned, there are not so many ideas. His only thought now is to connect the only six places in Africa and the Middle East. So that his ground forces can enter the Middle East theater on their own.

There is no need to rely entirely on air and sea freight, and there is an additional route that can move forward.

It can also open up the link between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, so that oil from the Middle East can be transported from six routes to the front line of the battlefield in northern Africa.

Because everyone knows very well that the most critical place for NATO to win the war is in northern Africa, and the NATO coalition can only board 6 troops from northern Africa.

This is the main battlefield in Africa, and the supply of front-line troops, whether it is Somalia or NATO, is very important.

From Saudi Arabia to Egypt on the line. It is much shorter and much more efficient than a supply line directly from the territory of the Somali Federation.

So anyway. Oil transport routes must be ensured, and the passage from Egypt to Saudi Arabia must also be kept open.

This also creates a situation where the two sides have different goals, but the effect is the same.

To the northeast of Port Said is a hilly plain, hundreds of miles of Sinai Plain, where almost no civilians live, and where the US military garrison in Egypt is concentrated, and further east is the Sinai Desert.

There is a long-term shortage of water and dry land, which is not suitable for human survival.

Perhaps it is also officially for this reason that the US 6th Army and Navy have stationed a force of nearly 3,000 people here, of which nearly half of the Navy 6th Combat Team has a large number of heavy weapons, and the rest In addition to the Navy, there are two special operations battalions belonging to the special forces of the 6th Army, and an operational forward base in the Delta.

The entire camp occupies a large area, and also has a small airfield, which is specially used for the supply and landing of transport aircraft, and can also be used as a temporary transit point base for fighter jets if necessary.

Now, Saudi Arabia's Dhahran Air Base has been destroyed by Saudi and Somali fighters, and the fighters inside have also been exhausted, and the entire air base has been completely occupied by the main force of the Saudi 6th Army.

The three US naval bases in the Middle East and Africa, namely the Jubail Naval Base in Saudi Arabia, the Manama Naval Base in Bahrain, and the Cape Banas Naval Base in Egypt, were also abandoned by the NATO Joint Command before the war.

Fierce fighting has been raging for an hour, and large numbers of troops from both sides are reinforcing the area.

One hour to strike at global hot spots, this is the slogan of the Americans, and this slogan is based on more than 300 military bases around the world.

However, NATO's efficiency is absolutely the best in the world, and in an hour, the 6th Navy Squadron of the NATO coalition has three reinforced battalions of heavy troops to support the theater of operations, strengthening the defense of the military base.

As a result, the number of troops here has increased to 5,000 men, and relying on the fire support provided by the Mediterranean Fleet, it has not been at a disadvantage.

However, this is also due to the fact that the main force of the Red Guard Corps has not yet arrived, and the 3rd Parachute Division, as the vanguard force, is a lightly armed force that is quickly deployed, and it is almost the same as the Ranger of the US Army, and there are no heavy weapons at all.

Even artillery and light armored vehicles are few and far between, and the number of autonomous combat robots attached to them is not large.

The termination of this force is that within half an hour of the outbreak of war, it can reach any surrounding theater of operations at any time.

The aircraft used to carry them is not a transport aircraft in the traditional sense, but a medium-sized fast transport aircraft that can enter the sound cruise flight. A transport aircraft model derived from the Lightning Bomber.

The biggest feature of this model is the degree, although the range is less than 5,000 kilometers, but it can always keep the sound of the flight. Able to quickly transport paratroopers to hot spots.

The 3rd Parachute Division arrived in Port Said Province in half an hour on this transport plane from Eritrean territory.

It's just that the cabin of this bomber can't accommodate large ground combat equipment, and can only serve light infantry, so it has also created that every soldier of the 3rd Parachute Division can only go into battle lightly.

However, it is light infantry, but it also carries a large number of man-portable anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles. Heavy machine gun and light machine gun firepower, as well as anti-materiel weapons, are not a small part at all.

After Egypt chose the Somali Federation, the 3rd Paratrooper Division had only one combat mission. Launched an attack on the US military base in Port Said province.

Egypt's ground forces will also assist.

It's just that the battle has been going on for almost an hour, due to the lack of main combat equipment on the ground. The battle results of the 3rd Parachute Division were not very satisfactory.

on this. Li Lan did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, and the significance of the Third Parachute Division was not to fight regularly with the enemy in the wilderness, but to arrive in the hot spots as soon as possible to gain combat time for the follow-up heavy troops.

It also provides a relatively safe parachute environment for subsequent heavy parachute troops.

"Where is the 1st Parachute Division now?" This is the third time Li Lan has asked this question, and the First Parachute Division is the only heavy paratrooper unit, which contains not only paratrooper fighting vehicles, but also a large amount of automated combat equipment.

Currently, the 3rd Paratrooper Division uses a large number of terror robots. The heavy armament of the US army has been severely restrained, but due to the lack of main offensive weapons. And we can't do a strong attack without casualties.

Therefore, the support of heavy equipment is very much needed, time is life on the battlefield, and Li Lan has to ask again and again.

He knew very well that every inquiry he made was tantamount to an urging, but the 1st Parachute Division was flying in Kunpeng transport planes, which were only 1,000 kilometers per hour at a maximum of 1,000 kilometers per hour, and took off from Eritrea to nearly 1,700 kilometers to the war zone.

Although it was already half an hour ahead of schedule, it was still two or three hundred kilometers away from the war zone.

"It's going to take at least ten minutes." Natasha reported quickly.

"Let the transport aircraft go as fast as they can, and what about the enemy's reinforcements?" Li Lan first urged, and then asked.

"So far, the three amphibious reinforcement battalions of the NATO coalition have all been boarded under the transport of the 6 boats on the air cushion, and one of the three reinforced battalions is the heavy battalion of the 6th division of the US Navy, equipped with twelve of the latest M1A3 fourth-generation main battle tanks, whose main battle armor thickness can completely resist our enhanced version of the third-generation half-apocalypse tank, and the bottom armor has also been thickened, and our horror robots may be difficult to damage.

Only our fourth-generation Apocalypse tank has the potential to inflict fatal damage on it. The tank is also equipped with the latest laser combat system, which can intercept or attack helicopters, soldiers, and incoming missiles, and the frequency of laser fire is still unknown. Natasha said quickly.

"This is normal, all these years have passed, Russia has re-picked up the T-95 project, stimulated by us for so many years, the technology of the fourth generation of American main battle tanks has also become quite mature." Li Lan nodded, he was improving, and the enemy was naturally improving.

Especially in times of war, there is no environment that can most stimulate the progress of armament science and technology, and there is no environment that can squeeze human potential more than war.

World War II is the best example, and the United States, which claims to have been leading the world in science and technology for 20 years, has been stimulated by Somalia for a long time.

Obviously, the strong scientific research national strength of the Americans has also made great progress in the equipment of the US military, and the sixth-generation fighter may have already made secret test flights.

Although there is no very clear data and intelligence, Li Lan knows very well that the United States, which has owned fifth-generation fighters for nearly 20 years, definitely has the most advanced position in the development and characterization of sixth-generation fighters.

The United States is also in a state of accumulation, and a large number of high-tech weapons will emerge one after another.

Because the same is true for Somalia, the enhanced version of the Black Hawk fighter is the fifth generation, and the elite class is the sixth generation.

This is also a fighter that is still under research among the current Red Police fighter units. And the test model. Aerodynamic tests and body strength tests have been accepted in wind tunnels for a long time.

Therefore, Li Lan was not at all surprised by the US military's rapid development over the years.

M1A3 is derived from M1A2. It belongs to the fourth-generation main battle tank secretly developed by the United States, and the code name to the outside world is an enhanced version of the M1A2, but it is just a number used by the US military to confuse the outside world and make others misunderstand that it is another enhanced version of the M1 series.

In fact, the M1A3 is completely independent of the M1A2, a new main battle tank, and it is also the second fourth-generation main battle tank in the world to officially equip the troops.

The war had just begun, and the U.S. military sent the ace Navy 6 Sentai Force. It also carried a fourth-generation main battle tank, which shows the self-confidence and ambition of the US military.

"The United States wants to use this war to restore the honor and dignity of the American military units. It seems that it really spares no expense. Li Lan commented lightly.

"It's me. I will do the same, let a victory boost the morale of the troops and break the myth of the enemy's long-term undefeated. Tanya continued.

"It's a pity that the Americans miscalculated." The corners of Li Lan's mouth curled. There was a slight sarcastic smile. Asked: "Where did the vanguard of the Fourth Assault Army go?" ”

"We have already entered Egypt and it will take at least eight hours to reach Port Said." Natasha said.

"Okay, don't rush the Fourth Assault Army, let them recuperate their strength, as long as they can reach the battlefield within ten hours." Li Lan ordered.

"Then even with the addition of the 1st Parachute Division, it will be difficult for us to capture the NATO coalition forces in Port Said, even if we attack. It's also hard to hold. Natasha reminded.

"The main forces of our air force are now all entangled with NATO air forces in the southern Mediterranean, 6 and 6 air force units that continue to toss and turn. They also went to the airspace of the southern Mediterranean Sea to support, and there was almost no possibility that fighters could go to support. Otherwise, the aircraft group of the NATO coalition will pass through the battlefield to support Port Said. Tanya continued.

"I know all this, where is the bomber?" Li Lan nodded and asked.

"The bomber unit is over the Red Sea at the moment, and it will enter Egypt in ten minutes, and it is expected to arrive at the battlefield in an hour and ten minutes." Speaking of this, Natasha paused for a moment and continued: "NATO bombers, I'm afraid they're on their way now. ”

"Then let's make this battle a little more intense." Speaking of this, Li Lan's voice changed and he asked: "What are the actions of the US anti-satellite missiles?" ”

"At present, there has been no action, and at present the best place to attack our satellites is in the Indian Ocean, and the best places for us to attack NATO satellites are in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and within the current control of the two sides, our side has 27 low-earth orbit satellites within NATO's attackable range, and NATO's satellites, 231 of which are within the attack range of our anti-satellite weapons, and nearly 100 of them have extremely high attack value." Natasha introduced.

"Let the High Command immediately come up with an optimal attack plan, and prepare for the implementation of the Star Destroying Plan. I don't want to see so many eyes in my head. At the same time, the whole army was ordered to pay full attention to the high-pitched missiles of the US military. and satellite-to-ground strike weapons. Li Lan's eyes were straight, and he ordered very seriously.

In addition to conventional weapons, the US military's high-pitched weapons and ubiquitous satellites have always been the objects of Li Lan's key vigilance, especially the weapons among satellites, and the US military's weapon of God's battle is no longer a weapon in the concept.

This kind of weapon can be said to be defenseless from the ground, and it is an absolute conventional strategic weapon of mass destruction, which can easily destroy most of the city, and the use of only kinetic energy is to kill.

Some people may say that the staff of God, which looks like an artifact, is actually like a chicken rib. It is very likely that it will eventually be eliminated by the cruel laws of war like the "Paris Cannon", but after many tests, Li Lan attaches great importance to this.

Many years ago, scientists in the combat laboratory did an experiment, a metal rod with a diameter of 10 centimeters, a length of about 2 meters, and a weight of half a ton was thrown from a transport plane at a height of two meters, and through the propulsion system of the metal rod, the degree reached the degree of Mach 3.

If it is replaced with a metal rod weighing several tons, thrown from a thousand kilometers of space, and the degree reaches more than Mach 11, according to the calculation results of kinetic energy detection, the lethality of the instantaneous impact reaches the equivalent of 10,000 tons of TNT, and it can hit to a depth of at least 600 meters underground.

In the case of Bagua City, only one piece can destroy most of the city, and three can turn the entire city into ruins.

Therefore, how can Li Lan not attach importance to such a weapon, because this is the weapon that is most likely to replace nuclear weapons as a new generation of strategic deterrence, and the most important thing is that in humanitarianism, this kind of weapon is more acceptable than nuclear weapons.

The United States deployed space-based kinetic energy weapons several years ahead of schedule, and it was also because of the rapid development of satellite technology in Somalia in recent years that the United States felt deeply threatened, and it was able to successfully deploy this weapon with a large amount of investment.

So far, only Somalia and the United States have similar air strike weapons. The Russian side is also stepping up deployment, and the specific deployment is to the extent that it can be used in actual combat, and the time is still unknown.

Therefore, the two sides must be wary of each other, perhaps neither of them dares to use it, in case of retaliation from the other party, or someone will be the first to be the first to be unable to help but use it.

At this time, anti-satellite becomes very necessary, if you can find an opportunity to take out the opponent's space-based weapon, then whoever can use the weapon recklessly, without worrying about incurring the same retaliation.

At the same time, over the edge of the vast desert in Port Said Province, Egypt, hundreds of Kunpeng transport planes obscured a large area of the sky, and thousands of umbrella flowers slowly fell from the tail of the transport planes. (To be continued!)
