Chapter 383: Operation Codename: The Destroyer

Washington, U.S.A., inside the President's Temporary Office.

"The operation, codenamed Destroyer, was completed after the revision of the 9527 operational plan, which will be implemented in three stages." Standing next to President Barack Obama, Dempsey said in a calm tone: "The general operational guiding principle is that the Army is prepared to turn to the defensive, mainly using air power to destroy all industrial and military facilities in Somalia, and the entire air campaign will last only four hours at most, and all offensive postures will be terminated and turned into defense before the Somali Army has no reaction at all." The premise of all this is the success of SEAL Team 6. ”

"I've seen at least four versions of the 9527 battle plan, some of which emphasize offense; Some emphasize defense, the destroyer is very good, attacking first and then defending, with the goal of destroying the core power, which is very in line with the current situation. Obama looked back from the lawn outside the window, and for a top-secret offensive plan, it was a good choice for the two men to hide in the corner of the office and talk quietly.

"After 24 hours, all we need to do is hold the defensive line, and the Somali army will definitely counterattack on all fronts, and our ground and air forces will be able to wipe out all the Somali troops who have crossed the border in familiar areas." Dempsey instinctively lowered his voice, even though there was absolutely no possibility of a bugging device in the president's office.

"How long will the ground battle last? How many casualties are estimated to be? Obama frowned slightly and asked the question of his greatest concern.

"The worst-case scenario of the ground war is a month, and when the Somali army's armor is depleted, it will end on its own, and our casualties are not expected to exceed two thousand. It is perfectly acceptable, and the best is likely to last less than a day, with Somalia most likely abandoning the ground offensive in an unfavourable situation. Dempsey cautiously said the numbers. At the same time, keep an eye on the expression on Obama's face.

"How can the secrecy of the air strikes be guaranteed? Such a large-scale air raid and troop movement must not be hidden, if Somalia had detected it in advance, the effect of the air raid might have been only a fraction of what was expected, and all the key things might have been transferred long ago, is this considered?! Obama nodded slightly, asking a question that had just come to mind.

"The secrecy of the air strikes will be the most secret part of the entire Destroyer, and the movement of ground forces will not begin until a few hours before the start of the air strikes. The planes will come from several different bases, some from the mainland; Some took off from nearby bases in Africa, under the coordination of AWACS aircraft. All the bombs will be dropped at the same time in a matter of minutes, and the same will be true for cruise missile launches, which will not be perceived by Somalia, nor will China and Russia. Dempsey looked serious. One hand involuntarily gestured twice. "After the air strikes, the ground forces have also completed their basic deployment, our air force is completely capable of blocking the offensive of the Somali army, there is enough time for the movement of ground troops, and everything will be carried out according to the predetermined plan."

"I think about every detail carefully, I like this plan very much at the moment, and if I improve it, I think I will sign it without hesitation." Obama walked back to the couch. He sat down fiercely, "Drag it out again." The consequences are really unimaginable! ”

"We've done all the pre-preparations, and it's going to be an exceptionally good plan, far more than any of the ones we've ever made before." Dempsey understands Obama's concerns, and the birth of this plan is also a bold attempt by the US military.

There is no way to reverse the situation of the war, and it absolutely cannot rely entirely on the navy, and the army battlefield also needs the army to make changes. If the front doesn't work, then come and bend.

——————

Li Lan didn't know what was happening in the middle of the Indian Ocean, he only received the information sent back by the No. 201 submarine, and the rest of the things, No. 201 did not send back to the base.

However, even if the No. 201 submarine sent back the battle report, Li Lan did not have time to care.

Twelve hours had passed since the beginning of the reception of those international merchant ships, and time had crept into the night.

Standing on the top floor of the base car, looking at the night sky after the rain, I thought to myself: In the dark, it is time for the rats to come out and move.

On a moonless night, on the bay of Bagua City Harbor, the rear cabin of a container ship docked on the water surface of the bay suddenly opened a small door, and with the rapid lighting of several signal lights in the cabin, two rubber assault boats with whispering motors slid to the sea along the open rear hatch, and almost no sound was felt.

The assault boat soon stopped at the bottom of a cliff more than ten meters high, and the two seals easily shot a set of elaborate climbing equipment to the top of the cliff, and in just a few minutes, all the seals went up to the top of the cliff through the tough long rope, and as the two assault boats slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, the figures of the twenty-two seals also disappeared among the trees.

According to the secret orders of the U.S. Department of Defense and the Coalition Forces General Command, the entire special operations team will have to complete at least one of the following three tasks before it can be allowed to return to the station: first: kill Li Lan; 2. Secretly obtain the radar guidance head of the Somali anti-aircraft missile series missile; Third, on the premise of ensuring their own safety, they should kill and injure as many Somali soldiers as possible and destroy all heavy equipment and key facilities they encounter.

With the help of high-definition photographs taken previously, the 22 Navy SEALs arrived at an area that had been judged to be possibly defended by Somali anti-aircraft missiles after a rapid three-hour sneak walk.

"Send a signal!" The seal commander, whose face was painted with black and green oil paint, gave an order coldly, and an encrypted message immediately shot into the night sky, and a hovering "Predator" high-altitude reconnaissance plane used as a decoy immediately rushed over the coalition-controlled area towards the designated airspace under the operation of the ground accusers.

Less than two minutes after the Predator entered the area where the seal was located, tens of thousands of dense jamming signals burst out over the pitch-black wilderness, and with the rapid work of the Somali anti-aircraft missile search radar hidden inside, a V-1FK missile blasted out the decoy "Predator" into a pile of fiery wreckage.

"The launch position has been locked! Bearing 322, distance 3400. "A seal clutched the PDA in his hand, and in less than five seconds, the powerful monitoring force of the US military accurately positioned the Somali anti-aircraft missile launcher that launched only one surface-to-air missile.

After getting the accurate position, all the seals immediately dispersed and disappeared into the field, and on a rugged path of more than three kilometers, it took less than 15 minutes for the well-trained seals to pounce on the edge of the missile launch position that had just exuded a scorching breath, and through the observation of infrared night vision devices, the launch site in front of them was already empty, but the tire marks on the ground that had not yet had time to be cleaned revealed the whereabouts of the Somali air defense missile launcher were clearly revealed.

Despite the fact that each launch was carried out as quickly as possible to move to a new position to conceal it, the keen cooperation of the seals and high-tech surveillance equipment kept a Somali anti-aircraft missile launcher firmly within a few square kilometers, and following the looming traces on the ground, the twenty-two SEALs followed at a brisk pace to a mountain col four kilometers away, at the end of a mountain road, a dozen garrison soldiers in front of two hidden holes were busy cleaning the ground of tire marks.

"Targeted killing!" The SEAL commander gave an order over the intercom, and a dozen swarthy figures immediately dispersed and made their way to the hole in the distance, accompanied by a continuous burst of extremely slight firing sounds, and the unsuspecting garrison soldiers were knocked open on the heads at close range by the flying bullets, and the blood and broken uniforms were scattered all over the ground.

"Watch out! Rush in! "The SEAL commander watched closely through his binoculars at every movement 100 meters away, and behind the heavy concrete gate was the Somali anti-aircraft missile launcher.

The continuous whispering of pistol firing sounded intensively in the two tunnels that were not very deep, and the sudden appearance of more than a dozen seals used close shooting to instantly sieves eleven soldiers of the garrison and three missile men on the Somali air defense missile launcher, and there was almost no possibility of fighting back.

In less than three minutes, the two specially trained special seals used the tools in their hands to disassemble the radar guidance head of the V-1FK from the heavy body of the projectile, and carefully packed it with the tactical back.

"Call the king, the battle has been taken." The muffled voice of the call softly sounded in the headphones.

"Set up the timed blasting device! Evacuate the danger zone! The SEAL commander quickly gave the order as he kept his telescope in his hand as a patrol of garrisons approached the col on a path two hundred meters away. (To be continued......)
