Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 70 Casualty Report

Just as Li Lan started planning for the city wall and territory layout, the base assistant reported to him: "Commander, Muhammad is waiting for you in the living room on the first floor. It has been a full minute now."

"I know."

Li Lan had to stop his work and return to the room.The battle just ended yesterday, and there are still many unhealed wounds on his body. Fortunately, they are only small wounds and will not affect his freedom of walking.But when I put on my clothes, it seems very miserable.In the end, it took a lot of time before he endured the pain and put on his coat.

Sitting in the elevator, Li Lan quickly walked into the living room on the first floor.

Muhammad was sitting quietly on the sofa, taking care of the many documents on the case, and did not see Li Lan's arrival.

Li Lan didn't step forward to disturb him, but got busy on the side, soaked a pot of tea, then took out some banana cakes on the plate, and walked to the sofa.As I walked, I thought: Someone needs to come here to do these trivial things in the future.

When Li Lan put down his things and sat on the opposite sofa, Mohammed knew that Li Lan was coming, and quickly said, "I'm a little engaged, I don't know if the chief is coming."

There is one aspect of Muhammad that makes Li Lan very satisfied, that is, he can see his position clearly.They used to be friends, and they can get along very casually. Now that their status has changed, the relationship has also changed, and Muhammad has always been able to maintain his status. This is impeccable in Li Lan's view.

Seeing Muhammad's tired face in the morning, with unwashed gunpowder smoke on his face, his already dark complexion became even darker.

Li Lan said, "Didn't you let you rest well? Why do you make yourself so tired?"

"The soldiers were on the battlefield of justice last night. It was only in the morning that the corpse capitals of the enemy and our soldiers were processed, and the statistical work was completed. So, I got up very early to justice, I'm afraid you will watch it early in the morning." Muhammad shook his head, sighed deeply, and continued: "Furthermore, when so many people have died in the past month, when it calms down, my heart suddenly feels uncomfortable."

"What about the specific casualties?" Li Lan's mood also became very bad when he heard Muhammad's words. The joy of getting up in the morning because of the escalation of authority was instantly swept away.

"A total of 824 people were killed, 218 were seriously injured and amputations, 112 were still life-threatening, 457 were seriously injured, and 1,299 were slightly injured. The specific number of deaths and injuries is more than 400 more than the previous preliminary statistics. At present, there are still 856 combatable soldiers in the territory." The heavy number made Muhammad's jealous as he read it.

"Oh! There were such huge casualties in this battle. It was really beyond my expectation. The victory at such a price can only be regarded as a disastrous victory." Li Lan slowly closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa. Come on, said slowly.

"There is no other way. The territory has just developed, and it has to face such an attack of such intensity. This time, if it weren't for the soldiers who gave up their lives, I am afraid our territory will become Arwell's private property. . As your Chinese saying goes, keep the green hills without worrying about firewood." Muhammad nodded.

"Our current equipment still lags far behind the government forces. We lack the ability to proactively attack, and we lack heavy firepower for long-distance support, and we lack heavy ground equipment that can quickly resolve the battle." At this point, Li Lan's eyes were cold. For a flash, he stood up and said in a higher voice: "However, this is all in the past. Next, we will have heavy weapons that will make all forces fearful. We not only need armored vehicles for offensive purposes, but also High-performance tanks, even self-propelled artillery, we will have. This disadvantaged situation will be completely far away from us. The initiative of war will be in our hands. It will not take a year. I want the whole Bosasso Become our hunting ground, and all enemies will be as vulnerable as tofu dregs in front of my iron current."

"Is what you, you, what you said is true?" As Li Lan's tone improved, Muhammad was shocked and became a little incoherent.

"I said yes, no one can stop it." Li Lan walked to Muhammad's shocked face, patted him on the shoulder, and continued: "My friend, have I lied to you? At that time, we need more food to help those refugees, factories to resettle them, and fields for them to plant. Then you will be busy. Believe me, you will be too busy to sleep. No time for it."

Muhammad nodded in a daze. The news was so explosive for him that he didn't react for a while.

"The tanks and armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery you mentioned are not supported by your homeland." After returning to his senses, Muhammad couldn't help asking. In his mind, only this explanation is the most reasonable. of.

"I can tell you this. My country does not recognize everything I do. If it is not, you will know it later." Li Lan did not say clearly, but left room for Muhammad to himself Think about it.

"Oh!" Muhammad nodded, seemingly enlightened.

"How about the enemy's casualties?" Li Lan did not want to continue the previous topic.

"We don’t know the specific numbers. When we cleaned the battlefield yesterday, we processed thousands of corpses, and there were a total of six corpses outside the city, which had already been incinerated, so we couldn’t get specific numbers, but based on the number of people who went back. Judging, including the loss of the early multi-party forces, we have at least eliminated more than 7,000 militants and government soldiers." Mohammed said.

"If it weren't because we waited for work with ease, and there were things like city walls and defensive cannons, I'm afraid we would have been wiped out long ago." Li Lan said.

Although the mobilized soldiers are much stronger than government soldiers and armed personnel from various forces, their strengths are limited.If it weren't for having a sufficient advantage to pull out a close match, if you want to eliminate these numbers of enemies, the deaths and injuries of the mobilized soldiers would be much higher than they are now.

"This was originally our advantage. A battle of this magnitude has not happened in Puntland for a long time. I am now more worried that the matter will not end there. Our existence has attracted great attention and I am afraid that we will not be able to calm down in the future. ." Muhammad said.

"Yes!" Li Lan nodded. He was already prepared for this, but as long as it was not for the direct interference of international forces, he would not have the slightest timidity, and the best way now is to cope with changes in the same way. , As long as the strength is strong, how to fear others.

Continued: "Now, as long as we develop ourselves well, then we don't have to fear anyone. So, next, we only need to do our part, whether it is the Bosasso government army or those armed forces and tribes. , Don’t bother to talk about it. It’s best for both of them to bring them together, to help us attract attention, and don’t bother if they can’t fight.”

"Understood, what should I do with the ashes of these returned soldiers?" Muhammad nodded, thinking of the ashes that had been put away, he asked aloud.

"You can figure this out!"

"May Allah forgive him for being unable to carry out the gift of return to the truth. It is purely helpless. May you still be able to return to dust and soil, and Allah will resurrect you from the earth." He received Li Lan's answer, Muhan Moody first prayed in a low voice and said: "I want to hold a simple burial for them. Although their bodies have been cremated, they still have the right to resurrection. The return to reality is just a spiritual sublimation free from the flesh. They will live forever in the world. "

"Okay, leave this to you." Li Lan nodded. He doesn't understand this kind of thing. He only knows that Muslims don't need to be cremated, and the rest is not clear.

But this is Africa, and it is still on the battlefield. In order to avoid the breeding of bacteria and diseases, rapid cremation is the best way, and it cannot take care of other people's emotions.

"Sir, don't worry, I will arrange it." Mohammedi nodded.

Li Lan picked up a piece of banana cake, put it in his mouth, and said to Muhammad next to him: "Next, eat something, and then go to vent, I have some good things."
