Chapter 479: Operation to Restore Peace
The Tiger Division, on the outskirts of southern Mogadishu, was also part of the command of the recapture of Mogadishu.
Tian Jiahui, the commander of the Tiger Division, was dressed in military uniform, standing in front of the virtual map of the headquarters, and on the land, it was a completed simulated projection map of Mogadishu.
The map clearly shows the strength and combat situation of the two sides, and the Tiger Division, which launched an all-out attack, dispatched 80 percent of its troops from the beginning, including 800 tanks, 1,000 multi-purpose armored vehicles, hundreds of helicopter gunships, and tens of thousands of drone combat swarms.
The direction of the attack was to enter directly from the southern part of Mogadishu and to push horizontally along the streets of Mogadishu towards the north of Mogadishu.
Under such a powerful attack, the rebels and the tribal forces in the city were simply unable to parry, and the battlefield covered most of Mogadishu for several hours.
Next to Tian Jiahui stood the Minister of Defense of the Somali Government Army, a so-called army general named Halimiya.
"General Haliemiah, your army is ready to act, at present, our military operation has controlled one-third of Mogadishu, I hope that your army can quickly control this control area, screen out the hidden militia in this area, and ensure stability behind the front line." Tian Jiahui turned back to Halimia and said.
"General Tian, this kind of work is not easy, many of their militia are hidden among civilians, and it is difficult to identify." Halimia said.
For the young Chinese female general in front of her, Halimiah, as an old fritter of the army, is also a Somali general, but she does not dare to disrespect.
Strength determines all identity and status, and he can become a general, and he naturally knows very well that the right to speak and status need hard power support, especially in the army.
Although the woman in front of her looks young and has a low status in Arab culture, this woman has the power to easily destroy the entire Somali country.
Crimea knew from the moment he walked into this command that even if President Mahmoud was personally present, he would have to be polite to this woman.
"General Halimia, you should know very well that we have already borne all the combat pressure in this war, if it weren't for the fact that your soldiers would drag us back on the battlefield, from the very beginning of this war, your soldiers would have to fight on the front line, and now give you an order to maintain the rear, I'm not consulting with you, this is an order." Tian Jiahui said very seriously.
"Then we'll take orders."
Halimiah did not fight with Tian Jiahui for anything, although he was very reluctant to accept the order himself, but in this situation, he had no second choice, some people were staring at his position, and even he could see that even President Mahmoud was nothing in the eyes of these people in front of him.
With such a strong combat capability, it is completely possible to support those who are willing to be obedient in the Somali government, and Halimiah is well aware of the situation within the Somali government, and there are too many people staring at his position as defense minister, and too many people staring at the position of president.
As long as the future military resource company nods, they don't need to do it themselves.
"General Halimiah, in order to better maintain the rear, our Tiger Division's troops will also assist you, we are allies, and we will not let you face the enemy alone." Tian Jiahui said.
Hearing this, Halimia nodded hurriedly, and then went down to convey the order.
In the middle of the night, Somali government forces also entered the city of Mogadishu and began a complete blockade of the area where the fighting had subsided.
Under the command of the soldiers of the Tiger Division, tens of thousands of government soldiers, with the cooperation of the mechanized infantry of the Tiger Division, blocked the streets one by one, and these Somali government soldiers also began to form search units one after another, and began to carry out house-to-house inspections along the streets and every house and civilian house.
This is a huge and complex undertaking, and at the strong suggestion of the Future Military Resources Corporation, the Somali Government has agreed to fully recover every weapon in Mogadishu at all costs.
The money will be used as the first aid fund to Somalia by the Military Resources Corporation in the future, completely eliminating the biggest threat to Somali society.
This kind of recycling is to force the use of US dollars, directly from the civilian hands of Mogadishu, to buy all weapons and equipment, in order not to bring too much backlash, no matter how many weapons are in the hands of civilians, regardless of the source of the weapons, will be bought with US dollars.
If you have the ability to hoard weapons and equipment in a large warehouse, you will also be able to buy them, and the price will not make the civilians suffer.
Otherwise, the Somali government army will not be able to gain a foothold in Mogadishu, and even the tribes that have good relations with the government army will not buy it.
In Fan Yize's words, the trouble that can be solved with money is not called trouble.
What's more, Mogadishu is a fairly realistic city, and an equivalent exchange, even if it is mandatory, is not too difficult to accept.
This is just like the principle of compensation for demolition, although there will be individual nail households, but as long as the price is reasonable, most of them are willing to accept it.
As for the militia or armed soldiers hiding among these civilians, Fan Yize does not intend to investigate their identities, as long as all the weapons are collected, the threat of these people will be reduced to a minimum.
And in the process of action, if there is armed resistance, it can be eliminated directly.
Civilians without weapons, even if they are still organized, will not be able to make too big waves, not to mention that Fan Yize believes that the environment in Somalia will get better and better in the future, and he also believes that the vast majority of people are willing to live peacefully with their families, rather than living in the rain of bullets all day long.
This kind of collection operation cannot be completed by the Red Guard Corps alone, and must require the cooperation of the Somali government, so this is also the significance of the participation of the Somali government army in this war.
To deal with those armed forces, the Red Guard Corps does not need the help of the government army at all, but from the perspective of the people's will, it needs the full support of the government, and local people must come forward.
As for starting to collect it now, not waiting for the end of the war, it is also because the Tiger Division has the certainty of victory, and the faster stability of the rear is also convenient for the Tiger Division to carry out the next combat mission.
Of course, the premise of this kind of confiscation operation is that all the weapons hidden by the civilian population must be found, and if it can't be done, it will be a pain.
