Historically, the US military has always relied on tactical aviation to carry out in-depth assault and battlefield interdiction missions, but in the face of the thousands of front-line tactical aircraft and a large number of air defense weapon systems assembled by the Soviet army east of the Iron Curtain, the US Air Force did not have a complete grasp of absolute air supremacy, and the Egyptian army's successful use of the Soviet-made 2K12 "Cube" mobile air defense missile system in the early stage of the Fourth Middle East War to successfully restrain the Israeli Air Force is a ready-made example of the past.

With restricted air supremacy, only a few high-performance fighter-bombers, such as the F-111, can penetrate the Warsaw Pact's anti-aircraft defense barrier with relative safety, and the few air attack platforms such as the Morning Star must focus on destroying high-value stationary targets such as bridges, arsenals, oil storage tanks, and railway dispatch yards, and cannot spare their hands to help ground forces.

The grim shape of the Central European theater during the Cold War forced the US military to seek a revolutionary solution, and put forward the concept of an integrated target interception and strike system, which is planned to be composed of an air-based surveillance radar with a detection radius of 300 kilometers, a vehicle-mounted reconnaissance radar with a range of 20 kilometers, an inertial navigation command control missile carrying multiple terminal guidance submunitions, a small guided weapon that completes the search and attack procedure autonomously, and a high-performance digital processing system. A high-precision conventional weapon system with the goal of dismantling the Warsaw Pact ground offensive, and the Assault Saboteur was born.

However, not long after the birth of this weapon, the Soviet Union collapsed, and without the threat of a large ground armor group, the weapon was gradually hidden.

When the assault saboteurs officially appeared on the battlefield, they were no longer faced with the dense and cheap tank clusters of the Soviet Union. Rather, it is an excellent three-and-a-half-generation main battle tank. The warhead in the eleven kilograms may have a good effect on tanks such as the T-72, but it is difficult to cause fatal damage to the Rhino tank. Not to mention the more powerful Apocalypse Tank.

At the same time, the amphibious combat group in the waters of Kenya. There was no miracle of the incoming missiles, and the dense air defense network lightly intercepted the incoming missiles.

When the missile defense results are all out. Li Lan breathed a sigh of relief, although there were some unavoidable losses, but on the whole, the effect was still good.

"Assistant, end the first air defense scheme, turn off the air defense alarm."

With the transmission of Li Lan's order, the air defense weapons exposed to the ground in the cities and towns of southern Somalia soon disappeared from the people's eyes, the automatic devices on the ground were turned off again, and the air defense alarm was canceled. Coupled with the announcement that the threat had been lifted, many people relaxed, and curious chattering ensued.

Most of the conversation is about when were these weapons hidden underground built?

It is naturally impossible for them to know the real answer, but it is foreseeable that the anti-aircraft firepower exposed this time will inevitably become the focus of NATO's attention, although the missile attack did not achieve its tactical purpose. But it also led to the air defense network in various Somali cities, which is also a big gain.

And the real hero of the matter, Li Lan, did not take this matter to heart, and once air defense weapons appeared, it was not a secret. This time the anti-aircraft weapons launched were only a small part. And it doesn't matter if the air defense deployment of the whole country is exposed, because the number of defensive weapons is increasing almost every day. As long as this speed is not known to the outside world, it doesn't matter.

If it weren't for the fact that Kenya was not part of the construction of the base. Li Lan wanted to lay defensive weapons in the past, but this situation would soon be over. A sub-base has departed and will soon be ready to deploy in Kenya.

Li Lan was not good-tempered after suffering such a dense missile strike, and he only had one thought in his mind, to return it a hundred times, but as soon as this thought appeared, he directly rejected it, and he was annoyed and quickly issued a new order: "Pass my order, order the Third Missile Brigade of the Missile Corps, tooth for tooth and blood for blood." ”

The order soon appeared on the central computer of the missile corps headquarters, and Yang Li, commander of the missile corps, immediately transmitted the order to the Third Missile Brigade under his command, which is a tactical missile unit composed entirely of V-1 and V-2 tactical surface-to-surface missile equipment.

As soon as it received Li Lan's name, the Third Missile Brigade sounded the emergency combat alarm, and at the same time, the Supreme Command also sent the strike coordinates to the Third Missile Brigade.

And Li Lan, who had given the order, was about to get up and leave the hidden control platform of the air command platform when a phone call from Jascho happened.

"I'm very sorry Commander, due to the incompetence of the intelligence services, the country and combat units have been hit by missiles, and I will take care of the matter."

As soon as the phone was connected, the voice of Jascho confessing his guilt was heard.

Li Lan wasn't really angry with him, or he didn't want to blame the intelligence department for this incident at all, but he still had to do what he had to do.

"You're calling just to admit your mistake?"

"No, I have important intelligence reports right now." As soon as Jascho heard Li Lan's words, he was full of excitement and immediately said: "Just now, our intelligence officers have discovered three large arms warehouses hidden in Uganda, and eighty percent of the weapons NATO supports Kenya are all transferred from these three secret military warehouses, and there are still many weapons transported into these three warehouses from outside. And just two hours ago, the Ugandan government had promised political asylum for Kenyan government officials. ”

Hearing Jastown's report, Li Lan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said: "Continue to pay attention to this matter, and as for the missile attack, submit a review." ”

"Yes."

Hanging up the phone, Li Lan stood up and sat down slowly, and began to think in his heart.

It is undeniable that around Somalia, NATO has many traditional allies, especially Kenya and Uganda, one is the most traditional ally of the United States, and the other has close relations with NATO countries, and was once a subordinate country of the United Kingdom, and the relationship between the two countries is even closer.

Originally, Li Lan didn't plan to do anything to Uganda, but when he heard Jastown's report, he slowly made a decision in his heart.

With an idea, Li Lan was not slow, and contacted Natasha as soon as possible, and immediately canceled Natasha's operation mission, which was the scene where Natasha and the others had to retreat.

……

At the same time, in the Nairobi National Geopark, Lines, who once again served as the defense commander, no longer had the resolute demeanor of the past, and he had almost closed his eyes for several days in a row, but now his face was haggard, and the gray hair on his temples was several times more in just a few days.

He was the first to get the news about the effect of the missile strike just now, and as a result, his face was a little more gloomy. As a theater commander, he understood that the upper echelons had the overall consideration, and from the orders given to him by the upper echelons to resolutely resist and gain time, he guessed that the upper echelons had the ability to counterattack.

The moment he saw the missile rising from behind him, he was disappointed.

In his opinion, even if these missiles can cause heavy losses to the Somali army, they will not be able to change the posture of the war, but the result makes him even more uncomfortable, the missiles only caused a few tanks to not be able to go, as long as they are repaired, they can continue to fight, and they are completely unhelpful to the war.

As a soldier, it is his duty to obey orders, but now even if he wants to question orders, there is no way. Just now, he lost contact with people from the Ministry of Defense again.

He didn't know when he could continue to contact Shangfeng, as a soldier, he could only stick to his post. And his position is only in Nairobi, retreating to three places in a row, and he has no way out.

But in its current form, it is just a countdown to death for him, and unless NATO directly sends troops, Kenya is already finished.

Night once again enveloped the land, and Lines stepped out of the underground headquarters and stood at the highest point of the Geopark, watching the once prosperous capital now turn into a sea of fire, bitter tears slowly overflowing from the corners of his eyes.

He was very unwilling, Kenya should not have come to such a point, blind optimism, stupid self-confidence, self-aggrandizing ambition buried this beautiful country.

But no matter how unwilling you are, what can you do? I can't do anything, I can only give myself a good time and an explanation to the people in the last time.

"General." Kabuqi walked over and looked at Lines with a sour face, which made his heart extremely heavy, the two had worked together for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen such a look on his partner's face.

The droplets of water, which I don't know if it was rain or tears, slipped from the corners of his eyes, and Lines took control of his feelings and asked, "Kabuqi, is there something wrong?" ”

"The news has just come that the rebels in the southwest have completely occupied Eldoret and have joined forces the size of an armored regiment in Somalia, and the forward forces of the rebels are now coming towards us. In the east, the Somali Marines also advanced towards Nairobi, and the defenders were losing ground along the way, and now ......"

Hearing this, Lines raised his hand and motioned for Kabuqi to say nothing, and the latter closed his mouth, and the two of them stood silently, letting the rain fall on them.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and Lines spoke: "I really miss my old life, rare leisure, accompanying my family, going to the wild fishing and picnic, I still planned that when I retire, I must accompany my family well to compensate for the neglect of them over the years." ”

"General......" Kabuqi's eyes also moistened.

"I know they're all fine now, the Somalis didn't slaughter our people, but I can't live up to my promises, as a soldier, I've failed, as a husband and father, I've failed," Lines said to himself. ”

Speaking of this, Lines turned around, put his arms around Kabuqi, and said in his ear: "My good friend, wait for you to take off your military uniform and live well, you are still young, and you still have a long time to live." ”

"General, I won't leave you." With tears in his eyes, Kabuqi shook his head firmly.

Looking at Kabuqi's determined eyes, he smiled, smiling with tears.

At this time, in the dark and oppressive sky, a large number of missiles passed through the clouds and rain curtain and fell around Nairobi, and one of them followed the wireless signal and landed on the hillside.
