At this moment, the entire Tajiwa Plateau is in chaos, the 24th Mountain Division is the main force of the Kenyan Army, and many of the weapons supported by Western countries to Kenya are prioritized and assigned to the Mountain Division, and Lines directly distributed all the individual anti-tank missiles, anti-tank rockets, and portable anti-aircraft missiles of the whole division to the squad units, and half of the troops were divided into squad combat units, scattered throughout the plain, and used scattered snipers to delay the advance of the Somali ground troops.

Guarding the advanced weapons is not willing to use, this kind of thing Lines will never do, he is ready to completely lose air supremacy, naturally he must quickly implement all the weapons into the hands of the soldiers.

And these squad troops are also equivalent to being abandoned, and those soldiers are also outcasts.

This tactic was conceived by him in combination with Chinese guerrilla warfare, and it is also the only thing he can do now, to go head-to-head with the Somali armored forces, and there are only a few countries in the world that have this kind of capital, and Kenya will never be able to rank it.

Previously, he also had some foresight, all troops, in peacetime must stay in the trenches and anti-artillery holes, he studied all the examples of Somalia over the years, too well aware of the sharpness of the Somali soldiers, once the war really started, what he had to think about was not how to resist, but how to maintain his combat effectiveness.

However, the plateau climate, especially in the African plateau on both sides of the equator, is not so pleasant, and the heat is naturally unavoidable, but with the arrival of the rainy season in the past two days, the anti-artillery holes and trenches are almost filled with water, which makes every soldier. It's extremely uncomfortable.

Now, all the soldiers are extremely happy. Hiding in the fortifications, there was a lot of wind and thunder above. The sound of the explosion shook everyone's scalps, through the narrow observation port, you can clearly see the dense streamer across the sky, the explosive shells with a blazing wave dispersed all the dampness, the barracks have long since disappeared, the outpost was swallowed up by the explosion, and the place where they had just eaten was only a big pit.

War is roaring with a formidable roar, trembling like an earthquake. The outside was completely shrouded in gunsmoke, all kinds of shells smashed on the heads of every Kenyan soldier with the momentum of urging the mountain, and the sound of the earth-shattering explosion alone was enough to make people feel terrified, and the eyes were the camp shrouded in fire and shrapnel, and those comrades who had not had time to enter the bunker had already been swallowed up by the explosion and fire.

Fear began to pervade, and his face began to turn pale.

The shelling, which lasted for a full twenty minutes, still had no intention of stopping, and Lines, who had just returned to the rear line. Standing in a semi-underground fortification of reinforced concrete, looking through a firing hole on the surface, I wanted to see the movement of Somali ground troops. However, a 155-mm howitzer shell exploded just before the fortifications. The entire reinforced concrete structure was almost dissolved.

Lines was almost buried by the falling dirt, and two guards immediately stepped forward to pull him out, but Lines continued to step forward without changing his face. Shaking the dirt on the telescope, he continued to look at the ground in the distance.

Lines is a good fortune. Others were much more tragic, with a heavy machine-gun bunker next to it. Directly hit by a cannonball, the reinforced concrete structure on the surface, like tofu was lightly penetrated, after the explosion, the entire bunker was lifted, leaving only a large pit emitting smoke and high temperature, of course, some scattered meat and bloodstains.

"That's a Somali pace." Lines put down the binoculars and sighed.

Twenty minutes into the Jeep ride from under the cracks in the plains, Somali artillery fire came to the third line of defense, which made Lines not even know what to say.

"The artillery and ground forces are coordinated, and the division commander can't stay here." Kabuqi spat out the sand from his mouth and came to Lines's side to persuade him.

"From now on, all the troops will fight on their own, there is no fixed combat goal, and the main thing is to kill and injure the enemy." There was no mobilization for war, and after Lines had finished his orders, he continued to the rear.

Just five minutes after he left the third line of defense, six peacekeeping bombers in the sky finally brought radio signals and began to drop penetrating bombs on all infrared targets.

Six peacekeeping bombers fought on their own, skimming over this slightly raised high ground, one by one laser-guided bombs shook off lightly from the belly of the aircraft, with an accurate infrared target response, all the bombs seemed to have found their long-lost relatives, and rushed over, and then the earth shook violently, and the black-red fireballs roared into the air, and a large number of shrapnel shot out.

On the front line, which lacks effective medium and long-range air defense weapons, the Kenyan soldiers on this line of defense can only hide and bear the ravages of war with a fragile heart.

"Ahh However, people's ability to bear is very limited, in the face of the roll call type of precision bombing, under the pressure of death, someone still broke out, a big man in a Kenyan military uniform, screaming out of the anti-artillery hole, the starlight portable anti-aircraft missile on his shoulder, aimed at the nearest peacekeeping bomber, the flames instantly erupted, the two-meter-long missile shot out from the launch tube, after a simple correction, then rushed towards the peacekeeping bomber in the sky.

The successful launch of the missile made the Kenyan soldier show a smile on his face, but this smile quickly solidified, and around the flickering bomber signal light in the sky in his eyes, the four engines instantly spewed out a strong tail flame, and the bomber, whose speed suddenly skyrocketed, not only left the place at a speed that almost exceeded the speed of the missile, but even left a piece of tin foil.

The Kenyan man on the ground lost the courage to escape in an instant, even if he wanted to run, it was too late, under the nose of another peacekeeping bomber, the Helios cannon had already exposed its barrel, and in an instant, dozens of 20 mm rapid-fire guns ploughed here, and the big man had no chance of survival, and his body was ruthlessly dismembered.

Peacekeeping bombers are now heavily equipped by the Army and Marine Corps, even more than Hind in the Army, because of their super-fast support speed and unparalleled attack power.

Coupled with the function of vertical take-off and landing and the ability to hover in the air, it is enough to replace many of the capabilities of the Hind attack helicopter. It can be called the king of ground strike weapons.

The Great Han's behavior was only a failed attack. But it opened the prelude to the battle, and many Kenyan soldiers could not stand the huge psychological pressure. They all ran out of the fortifications with missiles on their shoulders, and soon there was a contest between anti-aircraft missiles and air weapons. It spread out over the entire line of defense.

In the distance, under a hind attack helicopter that was pouring fire on the ground, a Stinger portable anti-aircraft missile pierced the sky like a sharp sword, and the hind did not have time to leave, and the missile hit the tail lightly, and after the two pilots decisively parachuted, the hind was quickly crashed.

The fall of the hind also aroused great morale among the Kenyan soldiers, and some platoon commanders began to boost their morale and want to achieve better results. However, the rumbling sound of the tracks soon reached everyone's ears.

In the distance of the plain, the huge Apocalypse Tank Group also attacked the third line of defense, and the Apocalypse Tank, covered with explosive reactive armor, was like a giant beast in the wilderness, crushing the stones on the ground with light tracks, leaving a crawler pit several centimeters deep on the solid plain surface.

Walking in the first row of the Apocalypse tank body, a lot of reactive armor has fallen, and the khaki camouflage body has also left black marks after the explosion. Obviously, this journey has not been smooth sailing. However, these steel behemoths weighing seventy tons. It did not affect the combat effectiveness because of this trace, and the power did not diminish in the slightest. There was even a Apocalypse on top of the turret, which was hit by two anti-tank missiles in a row. It still did not affect the normal combat effectiveness of the tank.

With the arrival of tanks, the battle also moved from mere air defense. Turned into an anti-aircraft anti-tank. For these Kenyan soldiers, the final countdown has arrived. Although they have a lot of anti-tank missiles, in the face of the Apocalypse Tank II with armor of more than 1,000 mm and the reactive armor all over their body, their weapons can only scratch the Apocalypse Tank, even if it is the Rhino Tank of the second level, their attack is very weak.

Once again, the third line of defense was lightly breached, and those anti-terrorist firepower were pulled out along the way, and the real battle faced by the Red Guard Corps officially arrived.

At this moment, Lines had already arrived at the division headquarters, and the Red Guard Corps had advanced nearly fifty kilometers.

"Division commander, now in front of us is the 3rd Armored Brigade of the 2nd Heavy Division of the Ace Armored Force of the Somali Defense Forces, which has four tank battalions, seventy-two Somali heavy main battle tanks, and also ninety-six Rhino main battle tanks, and the anti-tank missiles we have in our hands now cannot help these tanks at all, from the battle to now, the Somali side has lost less than five tanks, and we have lost a whole regiment."

Inside the headquarters of the 24th Mountain Division, Kabuqi held a brief battle briefing and reported to Lines.

"As expected, the anti-tank weapons given to us by Western countries are all old-fashioned, and the armor-piercing ability of these missiles is no more than 700 millimeters, which is not bad against ordinary third-generation main battle tanks, but if you want to help the ace equipment of the Somali Army, unless it is the latest anti-tank missile, you can only tickle the other side. Not to mention the tank we are facing, it is still an upgraded version. Lines shook his head and said helplessly.

"The Somali side also knows very well that our weapons can't help them, so they dare to advance with tanks on such a large scale without being accompanied by infantry." Chief of Staff Kabuqi said this, with an annoyed face, and said, "We have been despised. ”

Hearing this, Lines shook his head and ordered: "Let the air defense forces start to prepare, I hope the air force can play an effect." ”

…………

For the Kenyan soldiers on the defensive line, the Somali army's artillery fire was so fierce that it has hardly stopped since the outbreak of the war.

Especially on the Tajiwa Plateau, hundreds of artillery pieces are slowly advancing, and all kinds of large-caliber shells are smashed as if they don't need money, as if the shells are endless.

The minefields painstakingly arranged by the Kenyan army did not have any effect at all, and under the cleaning of artillery shells, all of them were detonated, a large number of anti-tank mines were detonated continuously, and the stagnant water on the positions even turned into hot mud, and those anti-tank trenches were directly flattened.

In order to quickly and smoothly cut through the Tajiwa plateau, an entire sub-base, nearly fifty tank factories, supplied the troops here with artillery shells, and two hundred tank killers incessantly tilted the artillery fire, and almost every truck carrying the shells could take an equal number of shells with them after leaving.

This is the advantage of fighting on the periphery of the homeland, compared to the original battle in Vietnam. This kind of artillery fire is cool enough.

However. What really terrified the Kenyan soldiers was the swath of tanks, the silhouettes of which were so hideous in the light of the explosion of the shells. Spouting tongues of fire, it ran over the craters, and with an unstoppable force, rolled forward.

Many Kenyan anti-tank fighters fell into panic before they attacked, and they had been away from the war for a long time, and the most they could do in training was to use some models as targets, where had they ever seen such a huge tank charge.

Some of the anti-tank guns hidden inside the flat bunkers, panicked soldiers opened fire even outside the effective range of the anti-tank guns, the 105-mm anti-tank recoilless guns that the Kenyan Army was equipped with. Although it has an Ugin alloy warhead and first-class armor-piercing ability, it requires the gunner's precise operation, otherwise it is difficult for the projectile without guidance ability to hit the target, not to mention these panicked soldiers, who exceed the strike outside the range, and don't even know where the shell is flying.

Expose the firepower in advance, and there will always be only one end. That is to be ruthlessly destroyed.

The smoke and fire from the recoilless guns revealed the carefully concealed position, and the Apocalypse Tank turned the turret to aim at this side as it marched, and fired a salvo with a boom, and the exposed position was completely covered by artillery fire in less than a second. As soon as the soldier who had not had time to flee let out a frightened, unwilling howl, it turned into a rain of blood, splashing everywhere.

But. The advance of the Red Guard Corps was not all smooth sailing, and the 24th Mountain Division was a Kenyan veteran unit. There are also many veterans in the army who have participated in actual combat, and even some veterans. All are retired from the U.S. military and are of Kenyan descent.

Under the instruction of the U.S. government, many soldiers of African descent have returned to their respective countries and joined the army.

The 24th Mountain Division, which guards the entire northern part of Kenya, is the most critical unit, and many veterans have been assigned here, many of whom have even fought against the Red Guard during the Somali war.

Today, these veterans are all sergeant majors, and with their encouragement and maintenance, there are many squads and platoons of troops who still remain calm.

When the tank group of the Red Guard Corps came to be less than 500 meters away from them, dozens of Javelin anti-tank missiles rose from the hidden front and pierced the tank group with a terrible scream, these empowerment attacks can tear through the 750 mm armor of the Javelin missiles, which is a feast prepared by the mountain division for the Somali main battle tanks.

After the successive explosions, the sound of their desperate tracks did not abate, and in the dust and smoke of the explosion, the huge body of the tank tore through the smoke and continued to appear in front of the Kenyan soldiers.

The desperate scene made many soldiers who were finally encouraged by the veterans to keep their composure cold in an instant, so even those veterans were a little distracted, they can be said to have faith in their Javelin missiles, but today's scene has completely subverted values.

Even the Abrams main battle tank will be injured if it is attacked by the Javelin anti-tank missile, but these Somali tanks in front of them have no impact at all, and the entire tank group has not been affected.

"Oh God! How could it be ......"

Some veterans who had also faced the Apocalypse Tank exclaimed in disbelief that on the Somali battlefield at the beginning, the Javelin anti-tank missiles had not destroyed the Somali tank, and the current result was naturally not acceptable to them.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The continuous explosions were intensively remembered on the new front, and the running Apocalypse Tank began to roar here, especially the crew members who were very upset by the Javelin anti-tank missile, and they were even more full of firepower, and the laser launcher on the car played an effect for the first time on the Kenyan battlefield, and the transparent beam swept across the battlefield, instantly making a large number of Kenyan soldiers scream, and their eyes were directly burned, blood began to flow out of their eyes, and their eyeballs turned completely white.

And every soldier who was attacked by the laser, instinctively covered his eyes with his hands, screamed and rolled in the trench, and as blood continued to gush out of his eyes, he even shouted that his comrades had killed him.

Laser weapon, the second lethal weapon on the Apocalypse Tank, originally this weapon was to deal with the natural enemy of the tank - helicopters, but the soldiers who are angry, where can they manage so much, although it is a low-power laser weapon, it cannot be compared with the laser weapon on the Guangling tank, but for the fragile eyes and skin, the lethality is enough.

The colorless glare that shines out brings a high temperature that instantly destroys the mière, and how can the eyes withstand it, even if it is wood, it will be a large piece of black.

Fortunately, the pain of these people was quickly relieved, and the two approaching peacekeeping bombers, with the Helios cannon in the nose, fired at them coveringly, and when the tank group ran over here, there was only a blur of flesh and blood.

Just after the tank group of the Red Police Corps broke through another line of defense again, the rear of the 24th Mountain Division, in the Grand Canyon in the middle of the Tarawa Plateau, where the Kenyan air defense forces were hidden, finally unfolded some missile launchers, and one missile after another rose into the sky.

On the edge of the canyon, dozens of brackets support several phased array radars, hundreds of air defense troops, connecting the lines, and at the mouth of the hidden cave on the inner side of the canyon, more missile vehicles are driving out and deploying missiles at the predetermined position.
