Gistin led his troops, came to the vicinity of the exit of the Kurima Mountains, sent a battalion, set up a three-tiered defensive position in the narrow part of the valley, and ordered this blocking battalion to take advantage of the favorable terrain and defend it to the death, and resolutely not let go of an enemy.

After arranging the three defensive positions, Gistin left an artillery company behind the three positions to provide artillery support to the blocking battalion in front.

With the defense arranged, Gistin led the rest of the troops straight out of the Kurima Mountains, marched all the way to the depths of the savannah, and sent scouts to keep an eye on the movements of the rebels.

Half a day later, the scouts came back to report that they had found a sign of the rebels ahead, and Gistine ordered the army to move to the right and all the way forward, giving way to the rebels.

After marching for several dozen miles, Gistine ordered the army to halt its advance and set up camp on the spot, waiting for the scouts to report the enemy.

The scouts returned and reported to Gistin, that the rebels had crossed the 1st Guards Division and camped thirty miles behind.

Receiving accurate information about the rebels' camp, Gistine ordered the army to pull out the camp and march rapidly overnight, stealing bread from behind the rebels, and quietly surrounded the rebels from the left, right, and rear, leaving only the front for the rebels to advance.

That is, the rebels can only advance, not retreat, neither to the left nor to the right.

The soldiers of the 1st Guards Division, building fortifications overnight and preparing for a big battle, waited for the decisive battle after dawn.

The location here, not far from the entrance to the Kurima Mountains, is probably only a few kilometers.

After daybreak, the rebel scouts, discovering the fortifications built by the 1st Guards Division, knew that they were surrounded, so they reported it to the commander-in-chief of the rebels, Wood, Wuneng.

Woodgo was secretly surprised to know that his troops were surrounded on three sides.

When marching and fighting, the most taboo thing is to be cut off from the back road.

Once the rear road is cut off, it is equivalent to the fact that one's own army is alone in the depths and is cut off from direct contact with the rear.

This is very dangerous, if you don't get it right, you will be wiped out, and you will become a meat bun and a dog, and there will be no return.

Wood didn't want to be alone in danger, so he decided to launch a counterattack and open up the back road first.

Somalis are born outlaws, and one of the characteristics of their wars is that they don't want to die.

The rebel commander Wu Wu Neng gave an order, and the officers and soldiers of the rebel army, with guns in their hands, rushed forward with a scream, which was completely deadly.

The officers and men of the 1st Guards Division, light and heavy weapons, opened fire at the same time, spitting tongues of fire, and bullets rained down on the rebels like locusts.

The rebels who rushed in front were knocked down, and the rebels behind were unmoved, still screaming and rushing forward, completely putting life and death out of the way.

Gistine ordered the artillery to open fire, with dense artillery fire, mercilessly bombarding the rebels, and assisting the officers and men of the forward positions of the 1st Guards Division to kill the enemy.

The shells exploded in the crowd of rebels, sending the rebels flying on their backs.

Woodgo was able to order the infantry to withdraw first, let his artillery fire back, and suppress the fire of the artillery of the 1st Guards Division.

The first wave of artillery shells came, and the artillery of the 1st Guards Division, two mortars were hit by rebel artillery fire, the mortars were blown up, three artillerymen were seriously wounded, and Liu Ming's artillery was slightly wounded.

Enraged, Gisting ordered the artillery to turn around and bombard the rebel artillery.

The artillery of the rebels, basically without heavy artillery, are all light mortars, and the firepower is a little worse than the artillery of the 1st Guards Division, and the two sides launched an artillery battle, and the artillery of the rebels suffered very much and suffered heavy losses.

Seeing the artillery of the 1st Guards Division, Woodgo turned its guns to his own artillery, so he ordered the infantry to launch an assault and make sure to open a retreat.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the officers and men of the 1st Guards Division, like a pack of lions, stood in the trenches, with light and heavy weapons in their hands, constantly firing bullets and harvesting lives.

The Somali rebels, like a herd of warthogs, cocked their tails, screamed and rampage, and launched one charge after another without fear of death.

The fierce battle lasted all morning, and the corpses of the rebel officers and soldiers were piled up on the battlefield all over the battlefield, which was shocking.

The rebels, who had more than 2,000 people, had already suffered nearly half of the casualties, and the rebel soldiers, stepping on the corpses of their comrades, continued to rush and beat fiercely, fearless of death.

The soldiers are not afraid of death, because they are so poor, so poor that there is only one rotten life left, and even if they die, at most they will lose a rotten life, and they don't take it seriously anyway.

And if you rush forward, you will be able to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, you will be rewarded, and you will get more living resources.

But the commander of the rebels, Wood, is different, he has far more resources than these soldiers, and if he dies, he has too much to lose.

Besides, he has such a small number of troops in his hands, and when he runs out, he will be gone, how to go back and explain to his superiors, not to mention, without troops, Wood Wuneng will become the commander of the light pole, and he will have no value, maybe he will be used as a negative teaching material from above, and he will be shot to set an example.

The commander of the rebels, Wood, did not want to die, so he chose to compromise and ordered his soldiers to stop the attack and turn around and march towards the mountain pass.

The situation in the Sandy Tribal Plains has long been clearly detected by the forces behind the rebels and reported to the third-way rebels.

Because of this, the commander of the rebel army, Wu Wuneng, was very aware of the strength of the Sandy tribe, and when he saw that the troops surrounding him were not only outnumbered but also well-equipped, he concluded that it was the main force of the Sandy tribe in front of him.

The main forces of the Sandy tribe are all concentrated here, so that is to say, the Sandy tribe plain is very empty.

Woodgo also knew that in the direction of South Sudan and Sudan, there were two rebel forces far stronger than him, marching towards the Sandi tribal plains.

According to Wood Wuneng's judgment, the Sandy tribe, which is empty in strength, will definitely not be able to stop the two rebels, and maybe at this time, those two rebels have already attacked the Sandy tribe plain.

As long as Wood's troops break into the plains of the Sandy tribe, they will not only be able to receive meritorious service awards, but also join forces with the other two rebel forces to ensure their own safety.

The best of both worlds, why not?

Woodgo was able to order his troops to break through to the entrance to the Kurima Mountains, and fell into the hands of Gistine.

When Gistine was trained by the Chinese military advisory group, he once learned a tactic called 'encircling three without one', which was originally used in siege of cities.

Leaving a gap for the enemy to flee from is easier to break the enemy's determination to defend the city, which can have a very good effect on siege warfare and reduce unnecessary casualties.

Gistine used this tactic, with a slight modification, to drive the rebels into the mountain pass and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Because Gistine was born as a sheep herder, he called this tactic 'encircling three missing one, driving sheep into the pen'.
