After the air raid in the morning, there were no more air strikes throughout the day.

At noon, the Pakistani cargo ship docked smoothly at the port of Bossaso, but immediately after, US drones also arrived here.

At that time, Li Lan was in the port, but he was not in a hurry, but let the soldiers unload the goods normally. There was a lot of cargo on board, mainly food, and the entire unloading time lasted five or six hours, when the US drone left.

The key dishes were brought up, and the freighter, which had been in bulk, suddenly opened a gate on the side near the dock, and the gate fell straight on the dock, and five trucks covered with black cloth came out of it in turn.

As soon as the special cargo is unloaded, the gate is closed. The five trucks then mixed in the convoy carrying grain and set off towards the territory.

Li Lan followed the truck convoy and returned to the territory together.

At the same time, the attention of major Shijie media is focused on the news of Ethiopia's air strikes on Somalia. A very clear set of video footage illustrates it all.

In the video, everyone can clearly see that the MiG-23 fighter planes painted with the Ethiopian Air Force Peugeot attacked two huge cities, one is Bossaso and the other is Li Lan's territory. And on the video screen, you can clearly see the dropped aerial bombs and the exploded ground buildings. However, the downed Ethiopian fighter was not shown in the video, and the video ended shortly after the piercing air raid sirens sounded.

Another video, however, shows the Italian embassy in Somalia during the attack and after the explosion. Footage of Red Alert soldiers helping with the search and rescue. Even the conversation between Zabiq and Aemond was clearly recorded.

Zuihou a video of Farah standing up. Strong accusations against the Ethiopian side.

These three videos were taken by the Red Police soldiers and the base, and they were also deliberately cut and uploaded by Li Lan. And Shijie's major media are also close behind. Because many reporters witnessed the scene of the explosion of the aerial bomb in the embassy area, and at that time there happened to be a reporter who took a picture of the air raid, and the scene of the explosion after the aerial bomb fell, although the picture is not very clear, it is enough to explain everything.

The media did not add fuel to the fire, but only reported the facts, and many reporters praised the so-called soldiers of the Somali Free Alliance.

However, it didn't take long for these stories to be deleted. Many countries seem to be reluctant to spread the word. However, some people can't help it, and in short, Ethiopia bombed the Italian embassy in Somalia, and the matter is still widely spread throughout Shijie.

As a last resort, Italy can only ask Ethiopia for an explanation. And at this time, the hearts of the Ethiopian top brass were already dripping blood, a whole fourteen fighters, albeit only MiG-23. But it's still hard for them to accept. And in the face of international accusations, the evidence is abundant, and the Ethiopian side can only break its teeth and swallow it in its stomach. Not only did he admit to his air strikes in Somalia. He also apologized to the foreigners who died in the air raid and promised to pay a large amount of bereavement to the families of the victims.

When Li Lan sat in front of the console. After looking at the depressed face of the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia, my heart was extremely happy.

But. After being cool, Li Lan also understood. This time, Ethiopia suffered a big loss because of carelessness, and it will definitely double its return. And there is another thing that seems to be good but actually does more harm than good, that is, Ethiopian fighters do not dare to come over unscrupulously, which also shows that the Ethiopian side will definitely change its mistake this time. Next time, it will be difficult to see the Egyptian fighters continue to seek death like this.

This is also the need for a missile that can hit high-altitude enemy aircraft, after all, people suffer a loss, and they always have to remember it for a long time.

Now that the missiles have arrived, the missile battalion has also returned to the base when Li Lan returns to the base, and Ahmad has now organized 200 air defense units to familiarize themselves with the operation as soon as possible. And Li Lan's commitment to China was also sent. Three of each of the land equipment were sent to China. This is haode that was said before, and Li Lan has no regrets.

However, the smile on Li Lan's face quickly disappeared because there was an urgent military intelligence coming from the front line.

"Report to the commander that the Ethiopian Army has entered the territory of Somaliland and has completed the convergence with the Somaliland Army, which is only two hundred and forty kilometers away from the base at this time."

"Report to the commander, a large convoy has appeared southeast of the city of Carlin, and according to the investigation, it belongs to the Puntland Republic Army, with at least 20,000 people."

The two messages came almost simultaneously, and they were both real-time intelligence sent by the front-line alert troops.

In order to grasp first-hand information, Li Lan sent out more than a dozen reconnaissance teams to go deep into the main highways and passages in all directions, in order to find out all the enemy's movements.

The battle is about to start, and the preparations of the past ten days have finally come to use.

"Order the whole army, according to Jihua, the battle will officially begin in three hours, and your task is to attack the enemy." This was an order that Li Lan sent to all the companies at the same time through the base car.

Tonight is not destined to be peaceful.

――――――

Outside the town of Zack, a brilliant glow flew through the jumping waves, dyeing the layers of blue waves golden, and the sky was about to get dark.

It's a beautiful seaside town, and this beauty comes from the bounty of the sea. However, this original calm was shattered this morning, and an army moved in, driving the original inhabitants out of town. Soon, it became a barracks, and troops arrived here one after another. In just one day, more than 3,000 soldiers gathered here.

The town of Zak is located east of Somaliland, a hundred kilometers from the original border of Puntland, and is now one hundred and forty kilometers from Li Lan's territory. It is the largest town next to the main road connecting the two places, more than 100 kilometers west of Berbera and south is the hinterland city of Somaliland, Bulau.

By this time, the town had been requisitioned, in accordance with the jihua drawn up by the combined forces of Somaliland and Ethiopia. It will serve as an important front-line logistics base for armored clusters. At present, the coalition forces are still in the south around the city of Bourau. It will take another three or four hours to get here.

When night falls over this seaside town, the town is still busy. Convoys carrying diesel fuel and ammunition come in and out. The troops stationed in the station are routinely building fortifications. This is the biggest difference between the Somaliland army and the Puntland army, and that is discipline and training. The soldiers of Somaliland have undergone a long period of formal military training, so there is no clutter or noise in the whole busy town.

But this calm will soon be broken.

――――――

At the foot of the westernmost part of the Surud Mountains, inside a hidden command post.

A lieutenant colonel spreads out a map. He pointed and said, "The small town of Zach is only sixty kilometers away from us. Originally home to nearly 30,000 civilians, the Somaliland army officially took over the town this morning, and the town's inhabitants were cleared out of the town. The buildings of the town are basically earth and stone structures, with a total of more than 200 houses, and the town government office building in the town is the largest, and the electrical facilities are relatively complete. There are two avenues about ten meters wide in the town, and the rest are all alleys of two or three meters, and there is no room for tanks to turn around after entering.

By this time the town had been garrisoned by an enemy force the size of an integrated infantry regiment. They were building fortifications as soon as they entered, and large quantities of diesel fuel and ammunition were being brought into the town. ”

Ahmed interrupted: "I can't look at those miscellaneous hairs yet, you just tell me where their most elite Liliang is." ”

The lieutenant colonel then pulled out an annotated map and spread it out. said: "According to the time estimate, the main forces of the enemy will arrive in this town within four hours, and the main forces of the enemy at the moment will be in this town. Also in the city of Brå. This enemy force is a combined Ethiopian-Somaliland army, and the main Somaliland force is exhausted. Ethiopia also dispatched three armoured brigades with more than 400 tanks. There is also a small helicopter gunship with a total strength of 70,000 troops. And when the battle starts, the enemy's air force will inevitably come to its aid. ”

Ahmed smirked: "Great! Such a scene looks pretty much the same, the enemy is too sloppy to be interesting. Four hundred tanks, this can sweep through most of Africa, and they really look up to us. However, I really wanted to see the face of the enemy after all these 400 tanks were buried in the desert. ”

"However, according to intelligence, there is a small fortress thirty kilometers south of the town of Zack. In fact, it is a small two-storey building covering an area of almost 500 square meters. The lieutenant colonel continued.

"Oh, what fortress?" Ahmed asked, confused.

The lieutenant colonel said: "It is understood that it is a headquarters left by the Italians during World War II, and the surface is a normal building, and there is a bunker below. Over the years, a Somaliland infantry battalion has been stationed there. The walls of the fortress can withstand the repeated collision of light tanks, just in case, just regardless of the cost, even the glass is replaced with bulletproof glass, as long as you hide in it and don't come out, unless you can send planes to bomb, there is no way to hurt them a hair! I heard that many of the Allied killers who were good at long-range sniping were also ordered to assassinate the Italian officers inside, but they all hated in the face of the impregnable defense, so many people called this building outside Zack Town a fortress. ”

Hearing the end of the lieutenant colonel, another major staff officer in the command looked at the small building on the map and said, "Don't say it, this location is really poorly chosen, there is a flat river within a radius of 500 meters, and the sniper can't find a suitable sniper position at all." This position could pose a threat to them, but as soon as the guns rang out, their men rushed over and devoured the snipers alive! ”

Ahmed thought for a moment and said with a straight face: "There is no invulnerable line of defense. The stronger the defensive line, the easier it is to break down. By the way, how many defenders are there in this fortress now. ”

"A battalion."

Ahmed smiled: "Then let's take this place down first, and now I'll assign the task!" ”

After being idle for several days, the officers at all levels, who were uncomfortable, had their eyes shining and hula and surrounded them.

Ahmed assigned the tasks to each battalion and company one by one, and his tactics were simple: spread flowers on all sides, eliminate them at specific points, and destroy all the military positions of the enemy coalition forces in the surrounding areas.

――――――

On the periphery of the fortress, a patrol Somaliland infantry squad suddenly turned out of the grass next to it in the darkness. These Somaliland soldiers were clearly stunned, and one dagger after another had been inserted into their hearts. Sneak attack. Coupled with the fighting skills of Chinese soldiers who generally reach the intermediate level, the instant kill is so clean and neat.

Such a picture. The area around the fortress was constantly staged, and the scope of the battle gradually expanded.

After more than an hour, the squad sent by the garrison of the fortress was cleared by Youjihua. The small Somaliland military strongholds around the fortress have found out that something is wrong, and it is at such a tense moment.

As a result, urgent phone calls came into the fortress one after another, with a surprisingly consistent content: "We have been secretly attacked by the enemy, the patrol team has suffered heavy casualties, ask for reinforcements!" ”

At this time. In this fortress, there is a big man, and that is General Mosik, the commander-in-chief of the Somaliland army. He is also the deputy commander of the coalition forces of Somaliland and Ethiopia, with the Ethiopian side serving as commander-in-chief.

As one of the elders of the Dil ethnic group in Somalia and the number one person in the Somaliland military, Mosik has also been a soldier for most of his life. This time, he didn't understand the government's order, and it was ridiculous that the Somali Weishenme wanted to fight the Somalis in the name of a Chinese. And yet he was only a military man. It is his duty to obey orders. Despite the upset in his heart, he came here anyway.

In just another three hours, the coalition forces will be here and will be resupplied in Zacktown. Then you can drive straight into that magical city. However, he also knew that this battle would be a tough one. The other side also has a very elite army, which can be used in three days. Take a big city like Bossaso and defeat the seventy or eighty thousand Puntland army.

Although Moxik did not look down on Puntland's army. The corrupt bureaucracy, in particular, has not even built a decent army for more than a decade. But he also knew that even if the most elite troops of Somaliland were sent to attack Bossaso, it would be impossible to defeat 70,000 or 80,000 enemy troops in three days and take a big city like Bossaso in three days. If Somaliland had such strength, it would have unified Somalia long ago, and the blue character behind Somaliland could be removed openly.

However, before waiting for the main force, he ran into trouble first.

There is support here, and there is also called support, where do you let the Moxik inside conjure up so many men to support so many fields? The worst thing is that the rubbish has not found any trace of those enemies until now, which makes Mosick's heart very uneasy. Which one are you more afraid of, a dog barking at you or a poisonous snake hiding in a dark corner and staring at you coldly?

After much deliberation, Mosik decided to concentrate on Liliang to defend the most important fortress, knowing that he was here! And the troops in Zack Town can't be used easily, there is now a huge amount of fuel there, and no one can afford to lose it. As for those less important strongholds, he can only give up for the time being, stay in Qingshan and no longer be afraid of no firewood, as long as he can hold on until the large army arrives, he will have a lot of firewood, and then he will have to rub those guys who have eaten the leopard's gall and flatten them and stretch them straight!

Thinking of this, Mosik said to the adjutant: "Let all the soldiers from the outlying strongholds come back, and we will wait here to see who is looking for death." ”

――――――

On the highway next to the fortress, looking through the infrared telescope, a long car drove towards this side, a Chinese soldier with the rank of second lieutenant smiled coldly, and ordered on the walkie-talkie: "The supporting characters have appeared, it's time for our protagonist to show up!" ”

After the call, he walked to the truck at the temporary rest point next to him, put on a bulletproof helmet, put on body armor, grabbed a submachine gun, stuffed four magazines and three grenades, a smoke bomb, and a flashbang into each pocket, stuck the tactical knife in the scabbard on the outside of his right leg, and shouted: "Go!" ”

The soldier in charge of driving the car stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared like an enraged lion, and sped towards the shadowy fortress in the distance. In the back, cars like them that don't obey the traffic rules are so long.

Several armored vehicles rushed to the gates of the fortress in a very unreasonable manner, and without shyness they overturned the cars that were in the way. In normal times, the defenders at the gate might come forward to ask, but now it is different, so this defender changed the way of questioning - Duanping AK-47 pulled the board machine and fired!

Not only him, but many people are doing this, dense bullets hit the body, splashing sparks, which shows that the popularity of the person who came is really not good, and it also shows that people are driving bulletproof cars, otherwise how can they not explode?

The doors open. Two big men with a height of more than 1.9 meters jumped out, and the guards at the door all opened their mouths wide. Fascinated, they stopped shooting, not that they had reconciled with the attackers. But...... If you are a normal person and suddenly find yourself facing a guy who can't be killed or defeated by bulletproof armor and equipment, and who is still holding a six-barreled Gatling in his hand, obviously beating people to the fire, how would you react?

The two hoplite-possessed fierce men who gave Yuri a sense of revenge in the game, destroyed the physique of Sylvester Stallone and Swarzenegger, and pulled the trigger against the frightened stupid birds, the six barrels of the guns spun rapidly under the drive of the electric motor, and the bullets blasted out at a terrible speed of more than a thousand rounds per minute. The muzzle of the gun turned into a fire dragon more than a foot long, and in the roar of the storm, the Somaliland soldiers at the gate turned into a puff of blood and rained everywhere, the glass shattered, and the cars parked in front of the fortress were blown up one after another, and this place instantly became a Shura slaughterhouse, and the flames soared to the sky!

The attackers rushed into the fortress gates with stumps and flesh all over the ground, and saw that some frightened and stupid soldiers actually tried to escape, and the six-barreled rotating heavy machine gun was a wild sweep. Anyway, they all brought 5,000 rounds of ammunition, so they were enough to play. In the face of this kind of machine gun strafing that can tear apart the steel fuselage, what kind of door panels, what sandbags. Everything that could provide them with a little cover was papier-mâché, and the bullet-forming dragon swallowed it and tore it all to shreds. Then their bodies were torn apart.

The officers at the gates of the fortress were frightened mad. I couldn't wait to put my vocal cords on the microphone and screamed: "General Mosick, we are under fierce attack by the enemy here. They have at least one company...... No, there is also a battalion to say the least! We can't stand it, hurry up and send someone up to help! ”

In fact, there was only one squad of troops attacking them! A very normal combat squad, and those two big men are rare treasures. In the base, there is a single soldier armor equipment, which is a bit like the guy worn by the Magnetic Storm Infantry in the game. However, these sets of equipment do not generate electricity, but they can defend against ordinary bullets, and the mechanical bones of the human body in the set can allow the soldiers who wear them to have a huge load capacity and can withstand the recoil brought by heavy machine guns.

This set of equipment is not suitable for everyone, first of all, it needs to fit the figure, and secondly, it also needs a certain physical fitness. In the entire base, there are no more than twenty people who can wear this set of equipment. This is still selected from more than 30,000 people.

And this set of equipment is actually a bit chicken, and Li Lan doesn't attach much importance to it, because this set of equipment can only defend against ordinary guns, grenades and ordinary grenades, which can hurt the people inside. And many sniper rifles can also penetrate this bulletproof armor. It's okay to fight an asymmetric war, but if you encounter an evenly matched opponent, the survivability on the battlefield is very low.

This set of equipment also has the advantage of allowing a soldier to carry an entire squad of equipment without feeling tired. The most valuable part is the mechanical bones in the suit, which can withstand pressure and move with the movement of the human body. (At the request of many book lovers, the prototype of hoplites!) All of them are human tank meat grinders. ）

In the bunker of the fortress.

Mosik rolled his eyes wordlessly, wondering if such a person had blended into the army by sacrificing hue. Judging from the impenetrable gunfire, one company is still reliable, you say that they are a battalion as soon as they come, where did the other two companies come out? Neuropathy! However, he didn't say anything, but sent a platoon to support. Then he looked at the time and asked the main forces in the rear when they would arrive.

"Boom !!"

After storming the fortress gate, a Chinese soldier carried a rocket launcher and aimed it at the wall of the inner room and blasted over. The Somaliland soldiers, who were shocked by the blast wave, jumped up and rushed out, and as a reward for their competence, a flashbang was thrown over, and the bright light flashed, and they all became blind, and then the blazing bullet rain came without hesitation, directly beating them into a pile of rotten meat that even my mother could not recognize.

"We've made it!" After the ensign who took the lead entered the fortress, he hurriedly sent a message to the large troops behind.

The enemy outside the gate had been cleared, and with a sound of brakes, dozens of Chinese soldiers wearing desert camouflage, carrying large guns and small cannons, ran in. Join the attack.

At this time, it was less than an hour before the arrival of the enemy's main forces. They're going to take it in this hour.

The entire inside of the fortress has become a mess!

There were gunshots everywhere, fires everywhere, grenade explosions one after another, and that scene was a fight with the street fighting in World War II. I don't know which way closed the power gate, the whole fortress was dark, and only the explosion of a grenade or explosive pack could bring an instant light, but this kind of light would definitely not be welcome. (To be continued......)
