(Whether the book is good-looking is a matter of level, and it is a matter of attitude to keep changing every day, and it is a matter of attitude to keep changing, and I want to collect it.) )

After a night of nervousness, the Italians showed no signs of attacking. Li Guang was even more relieved that the 2,000 soldiers of the Naval Resistance Army had all been in place after three trips back and forth on the PC, and the baggage and ammunition had also been put ashore.

With the strength and heavy equipment as the backing, Li Guang was a little bolder, and he believed that with his own elite troops to rely on, even if the Italians sent three or five thousand troops, the naval resistance army would not be driven out of the sea.

Of course, if Italy sends 350,000 troops, the naval resistance force must consider the next combat plan. There is a cloud in the art of war: more wins, less wins. Li Guang is not exactly a rookie now, he has thousands of lives on his shoulders, and he must think more far-reaching.

Offensive or defensive?

There is no depth in the words of keep. It is not easy to attack, and the Italian side not only has thousands of troops but also complete fortifications at the second pass.

Don't look at the fact that the Naval Resistance Army now has 2,000 troops, and the arms are complete, but in the case of geographical loss, it is not easy to capture the position of the Italian army.

In mountainous battles, often more than a dozen people, one pillbox, and two machine guns can hold off thousands of troops. Relying on crowd tactics may be able to achieve something, but it is obvious that the naval resistance army cannot withstand this kind of attrition.

War is an art, and this is purely a literati description. In fact, war should be described as a complex professional technology.

At the end of the twentieth century, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, in the several wars waged by the Americans, where can we see the beauty of art? It's almost all based on sophisticated calculations. The so-called magic tactics are nothing more than a correct evaluation of the opponent's technical equipment and training level.

For example, in the Kosovo War, the Americans defeated the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia purely with air strikes. The means of war have subverted the imagination of the traditional army, but the basis is the air power of the Americans, far superior to their opponents.

Another example is the defeat of the Germans against the Anglo-French forces a few months ago. Although there is an element of conducting art, there is a bold imagination. But it was also built on the basis that the armored forces of the Germans could technically cross the Ardennes. If it is a French B1 heavy tank, don't look at it technically bad, but if you want to go through the mountains and forests, it will be absolutely useless.

The question now before Li Guang is how to seize the second pass at the lowest cost, so as to gain a certain depth of defense. War is a complex math problem that allows you to use all means, but you have to find the right answer based on a bunch of unknowns, or you will die.

As an army officer whom Li Guang valued most, Bao Gang did quite well in reconnaissance work.

Although the specifics of the Italian army are difficult to grasp, it is certain that the Italians did not do a very good job of defending the pass, with only two lines of defense. The first of these is located on high ground on both sides of the road. The second line of defense was on two hills a few hundred meters from the road.

Hu Bofeng also added to the circumstances of the investigation. As a staff officer of the Naval Resistance Army, Hu Bofeng was not idle for a day and a night. In the port of Gandara, in addition to the indigenous blacks, there were more than twenty Britons.

Originally, there were a few Italians in this place, but the Italian army retreated without a fight, and the Italian merchants scattered in a hurry. These British merchants were too late to retreat during the Italian occupation. However, the Italians did not detain the Englishmen, although they restricted their movements.

According to the British report, the defensive positions of the Second Front were originally built by the British and were fairly strong permanent fortifications. When the Italians came to fight, the British army did not resist at all in this strategically dead place, so they slipped away. The intact fortifications were left to the Italians.

As a naval resistance army working for the British, it should be regarded as a friendly army in the eyes of the British, and the intelligence has been improved quite carefully, and even some specific details of the position layout have been given.

As a friendly army, Li Guang was of course very polite to the British, and soon sent more than twenty Britons to Yemen.

Is Li Guang so kind? The answer is no.

The Britons almost protested being escorted to the ship by the Navy. There is only one reason, the British are too rich. The British did not think at all that none of their enemies, the Italians, had taken action to rob their personal assets, and that the Naval Resistance Army, as a friendly army, would do so.

The reason was that Qin Zhan, the commander of the armored battalion, accidentally discovered that the British had hundreds of barrels of gasoline in their warehouses by the sea. Thousands of tons of marinated mutton and tanned sheepskin are made.

That's not all, these British people in the town's small western-style buildings are very luxurious, even the cutlery is silver. Seeing Qin Zhan's eyes, the British colonized Somalia for more than 100 years, and they really made money.

After Li Guang learned about it, he had no sense of morality at all, and without hesitation, he gave Hu Bofeng an order to rob it.

At the beginning, Li Guang promised the British army to send ground troops, and his calculation was one word -- robbery.

Hu Bofeng has been following Li Guang for a long time, and a good young man who knows a few foreign languages has learned badly enough. In this small town of Gandara alone, more than five thousand tons of supplies were plundered.

Staff Officer Hu has won Li Guang's trust and has done his work conscientiously, and the work of robbing, which most stimulates his psychological darkness, is even more commendable.

Hu Bofeng's robbery was thorough enough, not only strategic materials, but also the furniture of the British Italians, and even the steel on public facilities. As for the local natives, Hu Bofeng did not let go when he finally evacuated, and looted thousands of sheep, dozens of camels and hundreds of donkeys by collecting a poll tax. The most valuable spices, frankincense and myrrh, these things that are more expensive than gold, Hu Bofeng looted in tons.

In short, after the departure of the Naval Resistance Army, it almost returned to the primitive society. Hu Bofeng became famous as a result, and since then he has become the first staff officer of the "special logistics" of the Naval Resistance Army, and has played the role of "scavenger" in the entire African campaign.

From the small town of Gandala, Li Guang came to a conclusion: Africa is poor, but the central towns ruled by white Europeans are not poor at all, and they are richer than the interior of China, both here and the small towns in Europe in terms of architecture and infrastructure.

Li Guang was hesitant to take the initiative to attack. At this moment, on the Italian pass position, the Italian commander Agostino. Colonel Bianchi was furious.

The Italians have been operating in the Somali Peninsula for several months, and it is not without a single source of intelligence. Waited until the night of the 27th, Agostino. Colonel Bianchi finally figured out the enemy in front of him. Ling Agostino. The reason for Colonel Bianchi's anger was that the opponent turned out to be not the British army, but a backward eastern race, the Chinese people.

In the early morning of the 28th, Colonel Bianchi's anger erupted like a volcano: "Captain Esposito, you have deceived your superiors, you have deceived a highly respected nobleman. You coward, you can't tell the difference between a white and a yellow person. ”

Captain Esposito sweated profusely as he withstood the colonel's roar. In the "battle" yesterday morning, his men only saw the British steel helmets, and did not even see the human figure clearly, so they took it for granted that it was the British army who had logged in to fight. The Italians still "valued" the British army, believing that there was no need to consume the lives of Italian warriors in the small town of Gandara after losing the favorable terrain of the pass, so they naturally retreated.

"It's a shame for all of Italy that the army of Italy was scared away by a yellow-skinned monkey, it's a shame for the Roman Empire. You, Esposito, must retake Gandala. ”

Captain Esposito had already been sprayed with saliva on the colonel's face, and he said, "Mr. Colonel, there are at least a thousand people in China, and I only have one company. ”

"Shut up, Esposito. If you can't take back Gandala, then I'll call you by your last name. (Esposito's original Italian word means abandoned on the street by his parents.) ）

Colonel Bianchi was extremely dissatisfied with the captain who had disturbed the mood for breakfast, and shouted: "A thousand cold-armed chinensis, a thousand yellows with pigs' tails have scared away the soldiers of an Italian company." It's a shame. How did our Bianchi family get their titles? Do you know? ”

Esposito had heard many times about the noble titles of Colonel Bianchi's family, which was more than 40 years ago, when the Eight-Nation Coalition attacked China, which was still called the Qing Dynasty at that time, and the old Bianchi was awarded to the Bianchi family by the King of Italy.

When Colonel Bianchi spoke of the glory of his family, he often said, "One Italian soldier can destroy a hundred Qing soldiers." ”

Esposito was a little skeptical, but he really saw that his opponent was armed with a machine gun. Perhaps spewing at Colonel Bianchi's saliva, Captain Esposito actually obeyed the order and took one of his infantry companies back to the division Gandala, ready to retake the city from the "savage and backward China".
