In Arwell's office, before Arwell listened to the radio, another soldier pushed in.

"Report, Minister, there is an urgent call from the Ethiopian military."

"Hurry!" Awell, who had a bad feeling in his heart, said quickly.

"According to US military intelligence, an armored brigade-sized tank was launched from the target, accompanied by a large number of armored vehicles and armed vehicles similar to Humvees, as well as at least two battalions of self-propelled artillery units and two battalions of rocket artillery units. The scale is no less than that of the U.S. Army's heavy equipment division. The Ethiopian military informs us to be prepared."

"How could this happen? Didn't it take at least three years?" Arwell snatched the telegram, and after reading it, he couldn't help but growl.

He has not forgotten that he told him at the beginning that he needed to build up all the armed forces within three years, and at least have a certain degree of modernization.But I didn't expect that in just one year, the enemy had already sent troops.Still fully equipped, a heavy equipment division, tell him how to resist.Use flesh and blood to resist the opponent?Still count on those aging t-64 and t-72.

Why did Aville clean up Bosasso in such anxiousness? He wanted to contend with Li Lan.Although he has regretted countless times in his heart, he can only take the route of confrontation now.When Ethiopia began to support him, he knew that Li Lan's territory had many advanced equipment.

Otherwise, the first thing Arwell wants to clear is not Bosasso, but Li Lan's territory.The estimated time given to him by Ethiopia is three years, and Ethiopia will continuously provide him with numerous equipment during these three years. A large number of Ethiopian tanks and armored vehicles will support him.

But all of these will be in place within three years, when he will have a fully formed armored force, and now.Ethiopia's equipment to support him, especially heavy land warfare weapons, is only one-third in place. The two tank battalions only have 70 or 80 tanks in total, and the armored vehicles have just over a hundred.

So, after he saw the content of the telegram.Where can I be calm.

"I will generate power to the Ethiopian military immediately. I need them to send troops directly to support, and I will give it." Awell can only count on Ethiopia now.

It didn't take long for the Ethiopian side to reply: "If you want to send troops, you need at least one month of preparation time."

Because the Ethiopian military is also unprepared.This information was given to the Ethiopian military by the U.S. African Command, and the Americans were not even prepared for it.The period of these three years was estimated by the United States, and Ethiopia merely conveyed the views of the United States.

Now, the United States has begun to get busy, the emergency response mechanism has also been activated, and the nearest drone airport under the jurisdiction of the African Command and the Central Command.Two or three drones have taken off and are ready to provide intelligence support to the Ethiopian authorities.

The United States has no intention of being involved in the military conflict in Somalia. Of course, this is the result of Russia and China's continuous efforts.Without the existence of Russia and China, the US military might give Li Lan a taste of what is called an army.

However, the United States is not just looking at what it plans to do and providing intelligence support to its allies. This is the United States in recent years.Favorite thing to do.

Ethiopia has also faced this great pressure these days.In the past, he was on the side of the Soviet Union. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, he formed and fell to the NATO camp.Although the army has a lot of equipment from the Soviet era.However, many NATO weapons have been added over the years.

Especially when it comes to supporting the Bosasso government forces, the United States is very simple.He claimed to support his land weapons and equipment worth 3.5 billion U.S. dollars. It was completed in three years, and the first year’s billion U.S. dollars was already in hand.and so.The Ethiopian Army began to vigorously support Awell.

However, Ethiopia did not expect that Li Lan would start so quickly, and there was no preparation at all for the mobilization and deployment of troops.And if you want to mobilize all the troops, you can successfully enter northeast Somalia, which takes at least one month.

However, with the approval of the United States, Ethiopia agreed to Awell and will provide him with air force support when necessary (Ethiopia has a dead b-52!!).This was the reason why Arwell's mouth was blocked during the telegram exchange.

At the same time, Li Lan also started strategizing in the console.This military operation against Bosasso, here is the front-line headquarters. Through the radio and communication equipment carried by the troops, Li Lan can directly contact the infantry platoon-level units, as well as every tank on the front line.

And Hoffmand and Ahmed led a dozen officers with command and staff capabilities to the second floor of the base vehicle.The equipment that Li Lan couldn't understand began to operate under the manipulation of these people.

The equipment on the second floor is an auxiliary command organization that can fully synchronize information with the console, and the decisions made in response to the battlefield will be displayed in front of Li Lan in the first time.

After a six-hour march, the armored brigade and the mechanized infantry brigade are only a short thirty kilometers from the outskirts of Bosasso.In the rear, the heavy artillery brigade and the two infantry regiments were only a kilometer away from the armored units in front, and 50 kilometers away from the center of Bosasso City.

The set off troops stopped here quietly at this time, and along the way, the U.S. military drones have been dangling high in the sky.These drones did not dare to fly too low, and they could follow too tightly. At least they were kept at an altitude of between 8,000 meters and 9,000 meters to prevent the heavy equipment below from having anti-aircraft weapons. .

The refueling trucks prepared in advance began to add fuel to the tank units. The scout units have dispersed. The armored reconnaissance vehicles on board have begun to conduct the final pre-war reconnaissance, and are alerting the tank units that are adding fuel.

The actions of Li Lan's troops made the officers and soldiers of the UAV squadron far away from the US Central Command almost couldn't help but laugh.What military means is to replenish fuel only tens of kilometers away from the front line.Not to mention modern warfare, even in the latter part of World War II, it was not so bold.

"These Somalis really thought they could be awesome with advanced weapons. It's really funny."

"Indeed, this approach is simply a death-seeking behavior. Just come over with firepower and they will be over."

In the combat training room of this UAV squadron, a dozen monitors showed the tanks that were refueling. The staff of the remote-controlled UAV below was changing the shooting angle while chatting with other personnel.

"There is no tactical concept. Such enemies, even if we give them our weapons, they are also a flock of sheep."

"Yes! If Bosasso's tank and artillery units fired at them at this time, it would be lively."

...

However, they did not know that the Bosasso government army did not have long-range artillery, and even Ethiopia itself did not have a few army weapons that could attack targets 30 kilometers away, including imported missiles.

It's Li Lan's decision to cheer here. It's not that he didn't consider these, but didn't care at all.At this time, the tank troops marching here still have most of the fuel in the fuel tank. Most of the fuel consumption on this route is provided by the auxiliary fuel tank.

Simply rest, add fuel, let go of the auxiliary fuel tank, and let the artillery units in the rear prepare.

He had to worry about the fact that Bosasso's troops would rush out, and he hoped that Awell could be bolder and directly order the troops to come out.Because when his troops came here, the soldiers of the Red Police were also ready.

In Li Lan's view, tactics have always been combined with reality. Over the past year or so, he has not taken less classes, just to strengthen his command ability as soon as possible.Both the assistant and Natasha are very good teachers.One is rigid, but rich in textbooks, and the other is very strong in teaching and outstanding.

Li Lan now is not like Li Lan a year ago. The battlefield has made him more mature, and his assistants and Natasha have taught him in turn to improve his knowledge.

The offensive tactics against Bosasso were formulated by Li Lan alone. This is a war related to the development of the base and an important battle to test Li Lan's commanding ability.

Commander, commander, what is a commander, the core of which is the word command. If Li Lan can't even command his troops, then he, the commander, would have failed too much.

Moreover, as long as he personally directs the battle, the red police soldier will burst out of 100% combat effectiveness, and the morale will reach the highest state. Ruhong's morale will inevitably lead to an increase in combat effectiveness.This is unmatched by any hero.Under the explanation of the assistant, Li Lan was actually the most qualified commander in the minds of all soldiers.A hero can help him command the army, but the existence of a hero will never replace Li Lan's position in the minds of all soldiers.

The base was meant to serve the war. From the moment these soldiers were called up, fighting was their core mission, and loyalty was their instinct.Only in this way can the base have the value of existence.

"After half an hour, the shelling began on time. After the half-hour shelling is over, I want to see the report of the tank troops invading Bosasso."

Li Lan's order was transmitted by the base and appeared on the radio stations of each row in an instant. Every tank, every armored vehicle, self-propelled artillery, and Hummer heard Li Lan's voice.

Regardless of whether it is a tank unit or the artillery that has begun to be deployed in the rear, the preparation work has been sped up instantly.

The war began to enter the countdown, and this war that determined Li Lan's life was slowly coming.
