Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 49: Sneak Attack

The continuous smoke of gunpowder could not cover up the dazzling starry sky, the stars flickered, and the sea surface in the distance was shining brightly.

The heat brought by the trade wind made the battlefield exude an unbearable rancid smell. In the darkness, some armed men began to clean the battlefield.

On the left side of the battlefield, a deep pit was full of corpses, and several vultures were eating carrion among the corpses by night.

On a small hill far away from the battlefield, a dozen tents are located here.

The surrounding night was driven away under the lights in the tent, and a dozen heavy firepower spots and armed personnel patrolling around kept these tents tightly protected.

The quiet night was broken by the sound of discussion from inside the tent, and the tone was higher than the other, obviously the atmosphere inside was not peaceful.

"I can't go on like this anymore. My family's bottom is trembling. In just seven or eight days, more than half of the deaths and injuries. No matter how great the benefits are, if we continue to fight, we will lose more than we gain."

"Chief Mozabi made a lot of sense. We are not very strong. If we lose too much here, how can we preserve our existing interests? When the time comes, we will not get the benefits, and we will lose our nest. ."

"Could it be that the losses these days have been wasted like this? I am not reconciled to let go, so many people have died, and then go back dingy, not to mention the shame, I am afraid we can't calm the soldiers' emotions."

"Yes, the battle has entered such a situation, you can't just give up like this. I believe that the guys inside will not be able to hold on anymore. As long as we can work harder, the factories and weapons inside will be ours. Then, there will be Are these things still afraid of government forces?"

"That's the case, but have you ever thought about it? How did we learn about this. I am afraid that the government soldiers are watching behind us. As long as we and the guy on the opposite side are both injured, we will face the government's encirclement and suppression. That fellow Awill wants to get rid of us. It’s no longer a day or two. Didn’t the government forces also intervene in Lava’s site last time?"

"Our real opponent is the government army. Even if we have great hatred between us, we must unite, not just to prevent the government army from destroying us one by one. But if our strength is consumed a lot, I am afraid the government army will There is no more fear."

"Participating in this battle was originally an extremely absurd decision. We were all blinded by our interests, and it was very difficult to get out of it first."

"As long as we retreat, the guy on the opposite side will take the initiative to fight back. If they unite with the government forces, then we will have no way to survive."

"It's not that we can do nothing. I believe that many people know the opposing leader, and many chiefs also know Muhammad. As long as we want to mediate, it is not impossible to shake hands."

"I don't agree with doing this. Wouldn't it be an admission of our failure? Are you willing to do so."

"What can I do if I am not reconciled? I brought 700 soldiers, and now only more than 400 are still alive. A large amount of ammunition is consumed. If we continue to fight, none of us can afford it."

"The peaceful coexistence of various forces and the government forces in the past lies in the balance of power. Once the balance is broken, disasters will come to us at any time."

"A few more attacks, if we can't break the opponent's defense, we have no choice but to give up. As long as our strength can be retained, the government still can't do anything with us."

"Yes, we can't just give up. We don't have no chance at all. As long as we can break through the opposing defense in a short time, we will be greeted with a major opportunity for development."

"Although I don't want to say it, but I want to emphasize that we had better not be deceived by our interests, and we should not fight each other before the government forces come."

"Everyone knows this. Don't worry, as long as others don't do it first, I won't be messy."

...

In the tent, the leaders of more than a dozen forces kept discussing.

There is no fool who can occupy a side in Bosasso and understand the relationship between them and the government.

To put it bluntly, they are all warlords, and they control all the government except the city center of Bosasso.The government forces are relatively strong and want to control the entire Bosasso, but they will naturally not be caught in their hands. Since a single force cannot compete with the government forces, they are all united together on the issue of the government forces. response.

Coming here this time, each of them thinks that as long as everyone unites, it will be easy to win here.

Can't defeat the government army, can it be that a dozen forces combined can't defeat an armed force that has just developed.

However, this is the fact. A dozen forces gathered nearly 10,000 people here, but they didn't even break the opponent's wall, which was a huge blow to morale.Today, nearly half of the power leaders think that they should not continue, and the other half believe that they should continue and cannot return without success.

Those who do not want to continue beating are mainly worried about the government forces who have been silent.

Previously, more than a dozen forces had added up, and the troops had more than 10,000, and each of them had a back hand, so they could expand their team at any time.Compared with government forces, they can advance and retreat freely, so the two sides maintain a certain balance.

Once the existing strength is consumed too much, it will inevitably give the government troops a chance. Once the balance is broken, their situation will become very dangerous.

Although no one recognized the establishment of Puntland, the strength of the army should not be underestimated. There are tens of thousands of government soldiers in Bosasso alone.Even if the government forces in the cities are all in harmony, it is hard to guarantee that they will not come to help.Therefore, they will have scruples.

Previously, if it were not for the subjective will of the major forces, to win this place was a matter of grasping, they would not be so impulsive.Just because the rumored things are too tempting.

Those who disagree also have their own ideas, and they have paid so much for this and returned so empty-handed, and the losses are too great.

The source of troops is still second, but the consumption of a large amount of ammunition makes them very reluctant.You know, according to the arms market, if the ammunition consumed is converted into U.S. dollars this day, it is enough to rearm a powerful army.

Both sides hold their own opinions. You come and I talk about it for a long time, but there is no result that everyone can accept.

"Boom~~! Boom~!"

While the various forces were still discussing intensely, there were a few violent explosions in the distance, followed by dense gunfire, and all were heavy machine gun movements.

In the darkness, dozens of flaming tongues suddenly appeared, shooting towards the camps of the various forces. The rain of bullets was accompanied by violent gunfire, the tail flames of the rocket launchers appeared one after another, and the anti-personnel grenades continued to explode among the armed personnel.

The vehicles parked around the camp became the key targets. The explosions and burning flames of vehicles one after another reflected a large area of ​​the sky.

However, the attack came and went fast. As soon as the armed men of all forces started to counterattack, the sound of guns stopped instantly, and when they reacted, the opponent had left far away, leaving only a string of cars. taillight.

When the heads of forces answered their troops' location, the sneak attack was over. Except for the burning car and a few corpses, they didn't even see the enemy's shadow.

"What's the matter?" Various camps rang out at the same time.

Looking at the disappeared enemy, everyone can only helplessly clean up the mess in front of them.

However, before the fire on the car was extinguished, a few more rockets flew in the distance, accompanied by a brief sound of machine guns, and then calm again.

"Follow me and expand the alert range."

There was no peace here for a moment throughout the night.Those sneak attackers only harassed at the periphery, focusing on weak points of defense, and then when they started to pursue them, they all ran away.

The armed pickup trucks of the various forces can't catch up with the other side at all, and can only eat the dust brought up by the other side each time, watching the taillights gradually disappear in the eyes.

When these pickups started to turn around, the other party also turned around and carried out a sneak attack again. Even if they didn't take any advantage, they would immediately stop and turn around and run away.
