With a strong navy, Li Guang quickly dispatched troops, and he decided to make a big detour. The last time they used a strategy, they showed that the enemy was weak, and as a result, the Italian army did not reduce the stationing of troops at all. Li Guang's strategy seems to be a little unsuitable in Africa, (pig's feet are a little out of their own trouble.) This time, Li Guang decided to put his strategy aside and concentrate on tactics.

Although Li Guang was confident that he could penetrate the Italian army's defensive line in the Carlin Valley, the Italians and black soldiers had dug the ditches and ditches in the Carlin Valley for a month, and the defensive position was more than 10 kilometers deep. In addition, Li Guang coveted the wealth of the entire Somali peninsula, especially the supplies of several central cities.

In order to obtain economic benefits to the greatest extent and reduce losses, Li Guang sacrificed a big weapon --- amphibious landing to outflank the Italian army encircling and annihilating the Somali Peninsula.

In the history of world warfare, roundabout outflanking is definitely not a new thing. But to be able to successfully use this tactic, there is one basic requirement - the quality of the army.

For example, the French strategy of the German army in the 40s. From the Ardennes, elite armored units made a detour of hundreds of kilometers. For another example, in 38 years, the Japanese army made a detour from Hebei to Lanfeng, Henan, forcing Chairman Chiang to dig up the embankment of the Yellow River.

Such battles all have one thing in common. The roundabout troops must be extremely combat-ready and logistically sound. After all, the roundabout troops have no rear and are fighting in the opponent's sphere of influence.

If it is a weak army, not only will it be impossible to encircle the enemy during a roundabout, but it is also possible that the iron fist of the roundabout will turn into a meat bun. For example, except for a limited number of elite troops in the Chinese army, if most of the miscellaneous armies implement this tactic, they are afraid that the army will herd sheep, and their commanders will not be famous generals but fools.

Two months ago, Li Guang absolutely did not dare to adopt such tactics. However, after more than a month of combat training, Li Guang had full confidence in his army. Whether it is a field camp or a mountain camp, it is completely possible to scatter and take it back.

In addition, the Navy's first-class infantry is now equipped with individual radios, and communications have also been greatly improved. This is also a technical support factor.

The Naval Resistance Army is fully prepared for this battle. Due to the lack of troops, Su Qing led two jungle companies and quickly rushed to Somalia. An artillery battery, an armored company will also arrive with the ship. Not only that, but all 2,000 recruits who had undergone three months of initial training were recruited to Somalia.

Don't look at the Italian army in the Somali Peninsula with 40,000 troops, but after such a long time of testing, Li Guang already has full confidence and eats it in one bite. Li Guang will not fight for the sake of fighting, because he has figured out one thing, that is---- Erigabo is the core town of the Italian army in the Somali Peninsula, which is not only a military town, but also a logistics base for the Italian army's arms and materials, and an economic center of the Somali Peninsula.

Hu Bofeng, a "special logist" who looted 5,000 tons of various materials worth about $300,000, looted in Gandala. 10,000 tons of supplies worth about $600,000 were looted in the city of Bossaso. However, both Gandala and Bossaso are small cities compared to Erigabo. Li Guang expects to be able to loot at least $3 million in supplies in Yerigabo. Not to mention the fact that there are also many quartermasters of the Italian army there.

Li Guang estimated that if these cities could be cleaned up, then the construction materials and funds of Tanggang would be more than enough. This is also the key factor for Li Guang to launch this great roundabout tactic, the war of the Naval Resistance Army in Africa has nothing to do with justice, only about money.

In fact, Li Guang's most popular is French Djibouti, which is richer than these cities. Li Guang had made several requests to the British side through Major Smith. But this question was not up to Lieutenant General Cunningham, and in the end, it was stabbed at the British top, and Churchill firmly disagreed with the attack on French Djibouti.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. So Li Guang turned his gaze to Erigabo.

For Li Guang, he is paying attention to the war situation in the whole of Somalia, and he is also paying attention to the war situation in the whole of Africa. He had to choose the most suitable time to send his troops.

Just when the time came for the troops to be dispatched, Li Guang received a report from the General Staff of the Tanggang Maritime Resistance Army -- a submarine attempted to attack Tanggang in vain, but was discovered by the listening system of the Maritime Resistance Army, and the shore artillery counterattacked but did not achieve any results, but Tanggang did not suffer any losses.

Needless to say, this must have been done by little devils. The Japanese devils did not dare to trouble the British directly, and of course the British were also paper tigers now, and had recently begun to lay mines around Singapore and adopted a defensive posture. The Japanese devils did not dare to go to Yangon, but they found Tang Port, the Indian Ocean base of the Naval Resistance Army.

The Japanese devil is also a deep understanding of the art of war, and he even knows how to save Zhao from Wei Wei. It is estimated that the second submarine team led by Ren Tianyang has gone crazy recently. If you don't go crazy, you can't do it, Ji Keliang's combat exploits are so powerful that he actually killed a battleship, and Ren Tianyang is now drooling with envy. Coupled with the gradual improvement of the intelligence system, the scope of submarine attacks has not only been Malaya, but also the Philippines and Sumatra. In particular, Japan's oil tankers from the Dutch East Indies were simply unable to move an inch, and Japan had no choice but to send warships and submarines to escort the oil in the face of the protests of Britain and the Netherlands.

The devil's submarine appeared in Tang Port, directly threatening the material and personnel safety of the Maritime Resistance Army. The means of dealing with submarines in Tanggang are really scarce, and there are only three water reconnaissance aircraft. Li Guang also had to dispatch the second submarine team to strengthen the defense of Tang Port, and also had to undertake the escort mission. Fortunately, the special port for submarines has been repaired, and the sonar listening system has also been put into use.

There is no way to do this, the strength of the Naval Resistance Force is seriously insufficient, and as long as the Japanese Navy makes a move, the Naval Resistance Force will inevitably be in a passive position. The limited military strength was actually pinned down by Japanese submarines, which was really helpless. However, the Maritime Resistance Army cannot afford to be injured now, and even if a merchant ship is sunk, it will be a blow to the confidence of the Chinese in Tanggang who have just condensed.

On the Libyan battlefield on 7 February, Free French troops under the command of French General Leclerc laid siege to the Italian garrison in Koufra.

At the same time, after two days of fighting, the British again achieved a victory, and the Italian army surrendered at BedaFomm. It was the first major British victory of the war, and 250,000 Italian troops were captured.

On the African battlefield, it was obvious that the British army had already occupied an absolute advantage, and this was the good time for Li Guang to send troops. However, this situation is too big, and it is still not enough for the naval resistance forces in the corner of East Africa.

On 14 February, the war in East Africa finally turned in favor of the British. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the main force under the command of Lieutenant General Alan Cunningham occupied the port of Kismayo on the Indian Ocean coast. This obstacle has since fallen into the hands of the British, and the Italian general De Simon's hard-working defense line has been shattered.

In fact, De Simon's defensive line was not very badly arranged, and the combat effectiveness of the British army was not very strong. But the British sent a heavy cruiser "Shropshire", and the naval guns directly smashed the Italian positions along the coast. Not only that, the British army dispatched the air force deployed in South Africa, but after the gap of several kilometers was opened, the British army took advantage of the situation and poured in, and the Italian army was defeated. (It should be noted that the British heavy cruiser originally had four twin 203mm turrets, but for air defense, one was dismantled and a bunch of anti-aircraft guns were installed.) From this point of view, the British Navy had a more advanced concept of air defense than the French and Japanese armies. ）

Since then, the next target of the British army has been Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.

The opportunity for the Naval Resistance Army to attack has finally arrived.
