"Don't tell me where you are, don't say what you're doing, I want to hear a word, we're attacking! We're on the offensive! ”
This sentence is the famous words of Patton, a famous general in World War II, and Li Lan also firmly believes that an army that is on the offensive in both good times and bad times is invincible!
Such an army is like an incomparably sharp axe, once it breaks through the enemy's defense line, it will continue to advance, as fast as lightning, and play a momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas, so that the enemy will not have time to organize any effective defense, and the enemy's command system will be broken again before it can be established.
At this time, Li Lan's conducting art was like that of a brilliant orchestra conductor, and he had reached the pinnacle of "art" with perfect skills. Li Lan's army, like a symphony orchestra, firmly grasped the rhythm of war from the beginning. Li Lan can not only command our army, but also command the enemy's army, and the armies of both the enemy and us are under his command, dancing until the victory is decided!
In this process, the army under the command of Li Lan is like a master of dancing to keep up with the rhythm, the more they dance, the more excited they become, and all kinds of difficult jishu movements continue to pour out: annihilation warfare, missile rain, army attack, infantry coordination, artillery blocking, encirclement and reinforcement, and storming fortifications...... Think like a cloud and do it.
Hit the enemy's shortcomings with my strengths, and with every move, I can always expand the cheapness to the maximum. And the enemy army. is like a crappy musician who can't keep up with the rhythm, and at the same time involuntarily has to follow Li Lan's rhythm. It's always half a beat slower, and the more you jump. the greater the loss. Jumping to Zuihou, exhausted, had to raise the white flag.
Of course, in order to play the most majestic and magnificent war symphony, it is not enough to have a good conductor, but also to have the best symphony orchestra in the world.
After many successive wars, the Red Police soldiers have received the honor of belonging to the soldiers and the pride that belongs to them. They're the best orchestras.
They are not tight, and they are hard-working. You can fight continuously and with high intensity without feeling tired. Everybody is bloodthirsty and belligerent - no one is at odds with military merit, and when it comes to pay and money, it is an insult to them, and from the moment they are drafted, they do not fight for money. Perhaps, no matter what race, no matter what faith, money is always the most realistic and important in everyone's hearts. But this does not apply to Red Alert soldiers. In the whole world, only Li Lan can order them. Their loyalty will always be only to Li Lan, and others will be reluctant to put a mountain of gold in them, and they will not be able to shake the loyalty and faith in their hearts. With such a tiger and wolf army, even if he doesn't have advanced weapons. It is also bound to roll up boundless wind and rain on shijie.
After twenty or thirty hours of continuous fighting, the defensive line of the Bossaso government army had shrunk to the east of the city, east, west, and north. All of them have been captured, and the port has also fallen into the hands of Li Lan. As a careerist. Aweel couldn't be calm.
Ethiopia asked him to hold out for a month, but only for 30 hours. The war situation has developed to an erosive situation, let alone a month, two more days will be enough.
So, Awel began to give in, and while asking Puntland for help, he sent out the armored forces on which he relied the most. Vowed to retake the port, otherwise he would have no room to bargain with Puntland.
The Red Guard attacked Bossaso at great speed, and the follow-up troops followed to consolidate the defense. The Red Guard soldiers' front is a trench that must not be crossed for the soldiers of Bossaso's government army.
When the city center was occupied, the Bossaso government forces were completely split in half. On one side is the port, and on the other side is the east of the city.
In the early hours of the morning, instead of restoring order in the port, Bossaso's government forces became more chaotic.
――――――
In the car of the Red Police Base, Li Lan had just woken up, so he couldn't wait to walk into the console, and Natasha, who had been keeping an eye on the battle situation, saw his arrival, and quickly stepped forward and said: "Commander, the port of Bossaso has been taken by us, however, the government army has dispatched tanks, and the current location of the port has become the main object of contention between the two sides." ”
"How many tanks does the enemy have." Li Lan walked to the map and asked.
"Of the fifty or so tanks, as long as seven or eight are T-72s, and the rest of the tanks are T-64s, they don't pose any threat to the Rhino tank." Natasha said.
"Where is the first battalion of our armored brigade now?" Li Lan said.
"The enemy's tank forces are currently being outflanked by Jihua, and the encirclement is about to be formed." Natasha said as she drew on the map.
"Well, tell Hofmander that I must leave this tank unit of the government army in the harbor forever, and not a single one of them will be let go. It is even more impossible to let them into the occupied zone, to undermine the rear. Li Lan tapped lightly on the map and said, "Get in touch with the Chinese side immediately, I need detailed information about Somalia and its surroundings." ”
Li Lan knew very well that his weakest direction was the lack of aerial reconnaissance, otherwise he would not have allowed such a large enemy tank force to break through to the port. Moreover, almost two days have passed since the battle, and whether the surrounding potential enemies who are instigated by NATO are also ready to move is also a question that Li Lan is very concerned about.
At present, the intelligence department of the territory is not yet perfect, and there is no way to obtain information in time, and these still need the help of others.
――――――
In the port of Bossaso, the tank units of the government army have been advancing towards the port, and a large number of Bossaso government soldiers have followed the tanks in a similar way, trying to feel like a coordinated operation. Of course, there are also a lot of armed pickup trucks, as well as armored vehicles that are getting old.
"Boom! Rumble!! "The heavy artillery brigades in the rear have successfully entered the parameters of the artillery strike, and here they have become the main targets of the artillery.
A dense rain of bullets exploded in the tank group of the government army, which made many government soldiers feel that it seemed more unsafe to follow the tanks. The destructive power of a 155-mm howitzer. In just one round of shelling, two T-64s were destroyed. The crew inside did not even have a chance to escape, and the entire turret was lifted. The people inside couldn't even see half of their bodies.
However, this did not stop the government forces from attacking with apparent determination, and the tank group still rushed towards the port at great speed, and the tank guns began to shell the Red Alert soldiers on the pier.
On the dock, the Red Guard soldiers also regrouped, and the terror robots did not get on. So many soldiers took out anti-tank missiles.
The shelling of government tanks did not cause any panic among the Red Guard soldiers, and even if they did not count the extremely bad accuracy, these Red Police soldiers would not have been terrified.
The anti-tank operator, under the fire of the government tanks, calmly assembled the anti-tank missiles, and then aimed methodically and fired again.
Meanwhile. The port's multifunctional infantry fighting vehicles, which are equipped with 120-mm assault guns, also carry out counterattacks against the tank units of the government army. Despite the fact that each assault gun armored vehicle prepared no more than three armor-piercing shells, and there were not many such assault gun fighting vehicles. But it is enough to deal with the situation at hand.
Because they all knew very well that their tank forces had begun to surround them, and they could shoot these three reserve armor-piercing shells. That's enough.
The accuracy of the 120-mm assault gun on the multifunctional infantry fighting vehicle is incomparable with that of self-propelled guns firing at a distance of more than forty kilometers. Quickly excited assault gun fighting vehicle. Shoot out all the armor-piercing bullets on your body in a row.
In the tank group of government troops, continuous explosions sounded. In just one minute, seven or eight tanks lost their combat effectiveness. Most of them are the effects of assault gun fighting vehicles. Although the caliber of this assault gun is 120 mm, its power is not comparable to that of a tank gun, because the body structure cannot withstand the recoil of a professional tank gun. However, there is not much problem in dealing with these decades-old tanks of the government army, at least the armor can penetrate it.
If this 120mm assault gun is allowed to attack the active third-generation tanks of other countries, it will not be able to penetrate the enemy's defenses at all, and on the other hand, under the accurate aiming, there is no room for survival.
However, in the face of the tanks of the Bossaso government army, these seven or eight multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles equipped with 120 mm assault guns are like a dance on a sword, and they are not lost in beauty when counterattacking, but they are basically lethal, and the original flexible excitement makes the already untrained government army helpless.
In a few minutes, under the continuous fire of dozens of tanks, only one multifunctional infantry fighting vehicle was destroyed, and on the other hand, he lost more than a dozen. Such a situation is unprecedented.
And the nightmare of the government tank units is not over, just as they push into the dock, it seems that the enemy is about to flee, but the result of the truth makes them begin to feel hopeless.
From the south side of the harbor and behind them, a large number of Rhino tanks suddenly rolled out. In the case that neither in size nor in sophistication can be compared, the 125mm smoothbore gun on the Rhino tank is furious at the same time.
The 125mm smoothbore gun on the Rhino tank is not comparable to the 120mm assault gun. Even without special armor-piercing shells, it is not something that the government can withstand these T-64 and T-72. Moreover, the incomparably advanced sighting system on the Rhino tank, at a distance of only three or four hundred meters between the two sides, is accurate in the face of the slow government tanks.
Only in the first round of firing, a dozen tanks were taken away. By the time the government tanks turned their guns and prepared to counterattack, the tanks of the 1st Battalion of the Armored Brigade had already begun a second round of shelling. By the time the surviving government tanks delivered their shells to the 1st Tank Battalion, they were left with no more than fifteen or sixteen tanks.
This time, at close range, the tank hits of the government troops were commendable, several shells hit the target. However, the armor-piercing shells they used did not even penetrate the armor of the Rhino tank itself, and some of the shells were bounced off by the oblique angle of the wedge-shaped turret, which posed no threat to the Rhino tank at all.
This is the result of the asymmetric warfare that the US military has been waging all these years, and when the advanced nature of weapons reaches a gap of more than a generation, even new recruits can defeat an enemy who has experienced a hundred battles. To put it mildly, just these Rhino tanks, put them here to fight, and these tanks of the government army don't want to penetrate the armor of the Rhino tanks.
Even the T-125, which has the same 72 smoothbore gun, will not be able to penetrate the Rhino tank if it does not use the most advanced armor-piercing shells. However, the shells used by the tank units of the Bossaso government army are also products of the sixties and seventies of the last century.
When Awei's pride was buried under the encirclement of the Rhino Tank, the infantry who originally followed the tank became the new key target. With the cooperation of tank groups and armored vehicles, and already infantry, this group of enemies, exposed to the rising sun, was quickly wiped out on the edge of the harbor.
Awell's wishful thinking failed, and the tank unit that had been hidden for more than a day did not bring him more hope and bargaining chips, and he was greeted by a defensive circle that was shrinking all the time. His future has been filled with darkness and despair, and at this moment, except for the direct intervention of the US military, Bossaso is destined to be unable to hold on. Of course, he is not qualified to let the US military help him at the expense of offending China and Russia. (To be continued......)
