The war situation in Somalia has been tepid, and this kind of low-intensity combat is exactly what Li Guang is looking forward to. On the 15th of January, the arrival of Yang Weiwu, commander of the mountain battalion, made the battlefield active again. At the same time, due to the arrival of the Fox No. 1 submarine, the naval strength of the Maritime Resistance Force was strengthened. Li Guangke knew that the little devil had four submarines in the Arabian Sea Battle last time, and he didn't know if the devil's submarine had been evacuated. The arrival of the Fox No. 1 has given the Maritime Resistance Force more protection to deal with possible dangers.

Yang Weiwu stepped down as the captain of the special squad and was appointed by Li Guang as the commander of the mountain battalion. The current captain of the special squad is called Zuo Shandong, and his nickname is Zashan Eagle. Zuo Shandong is different from Yang Weiwu, Zuo Shandong is a real cultural person, and he is also a college student who has followed Li Guang since Shanghai.

Don't underestimate a special squad with 30 people, just some of the special operations that Li Guang knows from movies and TV make Yang Weiwu embarrassed. Yang Weiwu is strong in martial arts, but special operations not only require strong martial arts, but also a lot of cultural knowledge and scientific skills. The special squad fought on the border and even inland of Uruguay and Chile for a year, and the personnel were changed almost three or four times before such a 30-strong special force could be trained.

Yang Weiwu took the initiative to let Xian because he thought that it was difficult to meet Li Guang's requirements. And Zuo Shandong, the special squad, was specially recommended by Yang Weiwu to become the captain of the special squad.

Zuo Shandong is extremely proficient in many modern weapons and tools such as automobiles, ships, motorcycles, artillery, etc., and even piloting fighter planes is not difficult for him. This is the case of Yang Weiwu, a traditional literati who has only read the Four Books and the Five Classics (武人?). It's hard to compare. However, Yang Weiwu was strict in governing the army, which laid a solid foundation for the special squad, and the core task of Zuo Shandong's succession was to raise this small-scale special force to the level of a modern special force.

After Yang Weiwu took over the mountain battalion, his fighting style continued his style in the special squad. In fact, there is an important reason why the mountain battalion is under the command of Yang Weiwu. Half of the squad and platoon leaders of this battalion have served as soldiers in special squads, and although it is difficult to meet the requirements for various reasons, their military qualities are quite strong.

In the Naval Resistance Army, the field battalion is the first elite. But the field battalion actually had not many personnel who had experienced the battlefield before they arrived in Somalia. The reason why it is considered elite is that the running-in training of various tactics is the most sufficient.

However, apart from the company level, the mountain battalion has little run-in training at the battalion level, and its combat experience is much higher than that of the field battalion. The father of Liu Guobang, the leader of the bomber squadron, once provided 100 veterans for the Naval Resistance Army in 40, and Song Xilian, commander of the Kunming Garrison, also provided 50 military academy graduates for the Naval Resistance Army. After three months of routine recruit training for the Navy, more than 120 of these people were qualified. More than half of them were assigned to mountain camps. Only a small part was assigned to other troops, among which the jungle battalion Su Qing assigned thirty people.

In addition to these backbones, the source of soldiers in the mountain battalion is also very important, most of them are younger in Xu Zhan's troops or family members of soldiers. Many of these people have been on the battlefield.

Therefore, when it comes to battlefield experience, the mountain battalion is even higher than the field battalion. Of course, Su Qing's jungle battalion has a higher proportion of battlefield experience, and at least half of them are fighters who used to fight guerrillas on Hainan Island.

With the arrival of Yang Weiwu, the five companies of the mountain battalion had combat missions almost every day, sometimes at the level of company, sometimes at the level of platoon, and sometimes at the level of squad. The Gobi forests of Somalia provide an excellent battlefield for mountain camps, which are at home in this inhospitable land.

In a short period of 10 days, the mountain battalion fought more than 30 times. Although the scale is not large, the results are remarkable.

The results are manifested in four aspects:

First, all the 1,300 men of the mountain battalion had combat experience, and some individual fighters participated in three or four battles in 10 days.

Second, the Italians were so fed up with this harassing blow that there was little confrontation, and in a month the Italians suffered more than 400 casualties.

Thirdly, and even more miserable, was the servant army of the Italian army, and the black troops were successively increased, bringing the total number to 25,000 men. Unfortunately, by January 24, the total number of black troops was less than 10,000. Some of them were killed and injured by air raids, and more troops collapsed and deserted.

Fourth, the mountain battalion is self-reliant. According to the plan, the baggage company of the mountain battalion was a pack horse system, but the conditions were limited, and the troops were not yet equipped with horses. After only ten days of fighting, the mountain battalion actually captured more than 400 horses from the Italian army and the black troops, half of which were still quite good war horses. As for the rest of the supplies, they are simply countless.

For Yang Weiwu, such a battle is really boring. Almost all of the more than 30 battles were fought to train the troops' ability to lurk and climb mountains and mountains. For the mountain battalions, they would not have walked at all in the Karin Valley, where the mountains were unpassable, and although it was difficult for mechanized troops to pass, there were countless paths that could be passed by people or horses. The Italian army had tens of thousands of troops, and it was difficult to completely block the entire front.

In the battle, the mountain battalion actually trained the most in air-ground coordination. With the support of the Air Force, it was not at all difficult for the mountain battalion to pass through the blockade line of the Italian army. Yang Weiwu found that as long as he could successfully break the blockade of the opponent and launch an attack on the other side of the mountain, he would win a hundred battles. Every time an attack was launched, both the Italian army and the black troops were crushed at the touch of a button, and there was no hard battle at all.

On one occasion, the troops of a company of the mountain battalion attacked a black camp, killing and wounding less than a hundred people, and the troops of five or six thousand men collapsed. It took the mountain battalion five hours to clean up the battlefield, but no reinforcements were found. You know, the nearest Italian position is no more than five kilometers.

Through these battles, the naval resistance army gradually figured out the details of the opponent. The Italian troops are still elite units in the front, and the troops in the rear are pure rubbish.

Yang Weiwu deliberately trained his troops, and in the days that followed, he focused on attacking the Italian army's mountain positions. There are quite a few officers in the Italian army who have studied at military schools, and the Italian army has everything for various types of defense.

The Italian army is only not weak in will to fight, poor equipment, and poor quality of soldiers, but the actual position layout is decent. Such a battle is the best place for tactical experiments for the mountain battalion.

In this protracted mountain battle, the mountain battalion tactics gradually matured, and the run-in of the troops quickly went to a higher level.

Among the various weapons of the mountain battalion, mortars are the most brilliant. During the battle of the special squad, Yang Weiwu found that mountain warfare actually did not require mortars with a long range, so he boldly cut off the mortar barrel and changed the charge. The mortar range was reduced, the recoil was reduced, and later simply the mortar was left with only one barrel, the heavy chassis and other attachments were all thrown away, and the movement was greatly increased. The gunners gradually figured out a set of aiming formulas in actual combat, and since then the mortars of the mountain battalion have their own style, and all small-caliber mortars are fired with the barrel in their hands.

In this way, Yang Weiwu gradually ran in the troops, and gradually the mountain battalion showed its edge first, and an elite army was gradually taking shape. Later, this mountain battalion has become the main combat force in the Karlin Valley, taking over the front-line garrison of the field battalion.
