Chapter 60: Victory
Thirty days of war are like a loose horse, tireless and unstoppable. With its steely hooves, it splashed crouching and helplessness. Running wildly all the way, unstoppable, let the reason that has been suppressed for too long be unrestrained. This is not conquest, it is the flamboyance after a strong rise. Powerful has its own liliang, how can there be a couch jackal in front of the house.
Li Lan, who was covered in blood, was lying under the battlements, panting heavily, and the military uniform on his body could no longer see the original camouflage, and there were dark red blood stains and gunpowder smoke, and the strong smell of blood was disgusting. However, Li Lan didn't feel anything at this time, so she could only try to breathe the air, bringing her chest up and down violently.
Ahmed had been sent to a field hospital for rescue more than ten days earlier, and two shrapnel had been shot into his chest from the battlements shattered by a tank shell, the nearest one was only one centimeter from his heart, and he almost died.
These days, Li Lan was in command on the city wall, and because the soldiers suffered too many casualties, even he had to throw himself into battle in Zuihou.
This is a very irrational impulse, the bullet on the battlefield does not have long eyes, maybe a bullet flying from somewhere will kill him. But whenever he saw the mobilized soldiers guarding the city walls, and saw them stubbornly resisting in the midst of the guns, he felt an urge to fight with them, and at that time, the idea of danger had been completely ignored by him.
His arrival also made the morale of the mobilized soldiers reach a peak in an instant, the same number of people, but the intensity of the firepower that broke out invisibly increased by several percent. Again and again repelled the attacks of government troops.
Seventeen days ago, after Li Lan had built a sentry cannon on the opposite hillside, and had once again eliminated the government army's rocket artillery, the battle had become white-hot.
A large number of armor-piercing shells were produced, and more than a dozen tanks brought by the government army were all wiped out by the armor-piercing shells fired by RPGs in just three days, and the old armored vehicles that coordinated with them were not spared.
For this, Li Lan also paid a great price, and the sentry cannon on the hillside was quickly wiped out by the furious Dang Longtao because of its isolation. The sentry cannons on the city wall were quickly destroyed one by one under the attack of tank guns, and even the city wall collapsed in large pieces.
He thought that victory was in sight, but under the desperate fight of mobilized soldiers, his attack was blocked again. The battle was so dangerous that the tanks of the government army had even walked on the collapsed walls.
At that time, Li Lan also mobilized troops, and thousands of mobilized troops resisted on the entire city wall, and finally repelled the attack of the government army, which seemed to be in control.
In the ensuing attack, the morale of the government army was greatly reduced, and three days later, under the anger of Aweil, the boxed lunch completely disappeared.
In the ensuing battle, Awe's worries increased greatly, and after learning that the government army had also suffered heavy losses, the Bossaso parties began to recruit troops, and in a short time they formed a very strong force, uniting to support more than 20,000 troops.
These shili actions invisibly helped Li Lan, and the offensive momentum of the Bossaso government army slowed down again and again, and in the eighteen days of Zuihou, only three waves of reinforcements came, totaling 4,000 people.
This is also Awei's bottom line, 10,000 people can't take here, then he can't take out a more powerful liliang.
However, the intensity of the attack was weakened, but the frequency of the attack continued unabated, and Li Lan was not given time to rest at all, and the attack after wave never stopped. Even sandbags, trenches were pushed by government troops to a distance of four hundred meters from the city walls.
A large number of bazookas on both sides can be fired directly at each other. At this moment, even if the sentry cannon is built on the city wall, it will not last long.
As a last resort, Li Lan had no choice but to build a large number of armed off-road vehicles, and then asked the engineers to remove the heavy machine guns on the vehicles and put them on the city wall, so that the firepower of the mobilized soldiers became more and more dense. In the end, there was a chance to win the battle.
This month is the most important month in Li Lan's life, and it is also the most tiring month, and it is an extremely long month.
In the later stage, from the intermittent sound of gunfire, he even had a feeling of being deaf all the time, and his mind was blank most of the time, only knowing that he endured the extremely sore arm, fired and fired, and even the finger that pulled the trigger was swollen a lot. Every time there was a brief gap in battle, he threw himself into defense adjustments. The production of ammunition and medicines, except for eating and sleeping, cannot be stopped for a moment.
However, it is precisely because of this that he has officially grown up. The battlefield has always been the best place to test your will. Compared with a month ago, Li Lan is now like two people.
In the face of a battlefield that can take his life at any time, he can face it calmly and fight on the front line with the mobilized soldiers, so how many things can make him retreat in the future?
If Li Lan was really a rookie commander before, then he can now declare that he is a qualified commander.
Under the baptism of the battlefield, words like rookie and Xiaobai can no longer be put on his head again.
However, now this Li Lan, who has self-promoted to become a qualified commander, is rejoicing that he is still alive.
At the moment, also sitting next to him is Mohammadi, a native of Somalia with an AK-47 in his hand, also panting.
He came earlier than Li Lan, and in the past half a month, he has never gone down the city wall except for rest and sleep, and has always been fighting with the mobilized soldiers on the front line.
Both of them are in a similar situation now, with gauze wrapped in many places on their bodies, their faces are black, and only their eyes and open mouths can see the skin color that belongs to human beings.
"Has the enemy completely retreated?" Li Lan dragged her tired body and tried to sit up straight.
Muhammadi propped himself up, his eyes poked out of the city wall, and he said with a look of joy on his face: "It has retreated far away, and there is no human figure in the trenches they have built, and I estimate that the battle is almost here." ”
“haha!” Li Lan also propped himself up, and in the battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, there was no longer a single government soldier who could act, and he couldn't help but get up for the rest of his life.
The undisguised daxiao, unscrupulously vented, instantly infected the mobilized soldiers around him, and the cheers resounded in an instant.
Li Lan staggered to his feet, raised the weapon in his hand above his head, and raised his head to daxiao.
On the city wall, hundreds of mobilized soldiers were also excitedly hugging each other, and although there were countless tiredness all over their bodies, everyone was very excited.
A whole month of perseverance, the joy of seeing the enemy retreat, infected everyone.
No matter why the enemy is retreating, no matter why the enemy interrupts the war, the most important thing is that they are still alive and alive to see the future.
"It's over." Looking at the government troops that began to leave in the distance, Li Lan shouted frantically in his heart.
It was over, and the base was saved after はで.
"We've won." Muhammadi next to him hugged Li Lan and shouted excitedly.
"Yes! We have won, and no one will dare to stop us in the future. Li Lan shouted, "In the face of more than 10,000 people attacking for a month, we have held on, and we will surely usher in new development opportunities in the future." ”
"My friend, no, sir, following you is the best choice I have made in my life." Muhammadi said.
Just as Li Lan was about to say something, the mobile phone in his pocket rang.
"Hey!" After taking out her mobile phone, Li Lan connected it directly.
"Congratulations, I just received information that Awei has ordered the government forces to withdraw to Bossaso, and you and your base are safe." On the phone, Farah's congratulatory voice was heard.
"Congratulations to you, Mr. Farah, for choosing the right person." Li Lan straightened out his mind and said.
"I'm speculative, and you win by strength, you give me too much surprise, I thought you could hold out for half a month It would be very good, but I didn't expect that a whole month, especially in the next twenty days, can block the attack of tens of thousands of government troops." Farah Road.
"I said a long time ago, I will not lose." Li Lan said confidently.
"Your self-confidence is more valuable than your strength. Now I understand that it is your firm belief in victory that you can accomplish what seems to me almost impossible. That is exactly what we Somalis lack. Farah couldn't help but sigh.

The problems that should be pointed out are all pointed out, and the end of this battle is also gorgeous and does not want to take up too much space. Some things that have not yet been explained will be explained clearly later.
