Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 133 Battle of Bosasso (Part 2)

The so-called defense system is completely trapped in a state of fragmentation.And all this is just the beginning, and the tragedy has just begun.

The pressure of the intensive artillery rain caused great casualties to the government troops, especially in the battle in Bosasso City, which caused the Bosasso government soldiers to pay an extremely heavy price.Since neither party has the right to dominate the air, the so-called counterattack is just a futile act of sending death.

After learning the news of the fall of the city government, the government forces once organized a counterattack.Moreover, the strength of this counterattack was not small, at least one regiment was in force, and even the counterattack was supported by a lot of 120mm mortars and 107 canister rockets.

I have to admit that some combat troops armed by the government still have a certain degree of military literacy.This is the only commendable place for government forces after years of turmoil.

The 120mm mortar is the only remaining artillery firepower of the government in the entire city. It can survive the fierce air strikes and shelling. These 5 120mm mortars are also a miracle.

Although it is a 120 mm artillery, the portability of this artillery is good.The gun body is placed on the two-wheeled moving body of the axle, which is not only highly mobile, but also suitable for infantry portability.It is also for this reason that the 120mm mortar was able to survive the air raids and shelling of the Red Police Force.

Long range, high accuracy, and light weight. The advantages of the 120mm mortar are very good. Although production began in 1954, since the mid-1970s, this mortar has been widely equipped with multinational armies.Moreover, there are 40 right-handed equal rifled lines in the barrel, and heat dissipation threads are engraved on the outside of the barrel. The artillery belongs to the rifled mortar because of the two firing methods of mortar and pull fire, it can not only launch grenades but also launch rockets. Extended range projectile.

Therefore, when the 120mm mortar began to bombard the Bosasso City Hall occupied by the Red Police Force, it was indeed shocked by the huge firepower brought by more than 107 rocket launchers in a short time.However, when the artillery began to play in the distance, the artillery radar system had detected their position instantly.

When the government's artillery began to move, it was too late.The artillery placed on the pickup truck, even with the pickup truck, did not even have a chance to escape. They were received in the whole line, all covered by the 155mm howitzer.

The location of Bosasso City Hall is too important. The fall of this point directly caused the defensive forces in the entire Bosasso City to be completely cut by the Red Police forces, and they were unable to pay attention to each other.This is extremely dangerous for Bosasso government soldiers.

So the entire defensive unit near Bosasso City Hall was mobilized, and in this way, a regiment of power was pieced together.But for those government soldiers, instead of being killed in a counterattack, it is better to hide in the smelly ruins like a rat until they are killed or buried alive by the Red Police soldiers.At least the air you breathe is pretty good.

However, the facts have proved that this is undoubtedly "drinking the dove to quench thirst." Withdrawing the defensive force, a counterattack is equivalent to a method of demolishing the east wall and replenishing the west wall. Moreover, this kind of cooking will not only be used in the subsequent battles. It proved to be an ineffective, wasteful behavior of limited forces, and it was a stupid madness.Because it was this counterattack that consumed a small amount of government forces, which directly led to the subsequent defeat.

However, at this time, neither the government soldiers nor the Red Police forces considered what happened next.The former is the same as making a gambling because such a decision is made, while the latter is still confused at this time.

The government’s counter-attack artillery fire was indeed very fierce. The 120mm mortar was almost hitting the city that was just captured by the Red Police Force at the fastest rate of fire.The Red Police soldiers of a company that had just occupied here had to hurriedly set up positions, changed the offensive to defense, organized resistance on the spot, and delayed the government's counterattack.And call for reinforcements.

"Sufficient pressure must be maintained in other directions to increase the oppression of Bosasso government soldiers, so that they cannot continue to form a response in the direction of Bosasso City Hall!" Anyway, Li Lan immediately Nei made the most reasonable judgment. At this time, no matter where the government troops of this regiment came from, it is the most important to destroy it first.

"Let the 3rd battalion and 2nd company press up, emergency reinforcements for the 1st battalion and 1 company, and the 2nd and 3rd companies of the 1st battalion to continue their original offensive!" Hoffmander, commanded by the former enemy, also made deployment adjustments quickly. The counterattack of the government forces has delayed its offensive momentum in other directions. That way, it would be a problem for the Red Police Force.

Regardless of whether this one is far from a strategic reserve team, it must be defeated and eliminated.Hoffmand immediately ordered the 3rd Battalion, which was originally a follow-up cleaning team, to send its 2nd company as a reserve team, and urgently reinforce the 1st Battalion and 1 Company, and at the same time asked Xiao Yang to send a part of the reserve team to the direction of reinforcement 1st Company.Concentrate certain superior forces and encircle and wipe out this government force directly in the direction of Bosasso City Hall.

The pouring rain of bullets almost hit the open space outside the ruins of the city government building like a boiling pot of water, and the bullets flew up and down the chaotic street continuously splashing white smoke from the starting point, The intertwined web of fire is full of death.

Although the 1st company guarding the government building in Bosasso received a fierce counterattack, it was in no trouble. The hurriedly organized fire net immediately enveloped the attacking government forces.

40mm grenades went down one after another, and in a blink of an eye, the street surface was exploded with flames and smoke billowing. The government soldiers who charged with cats piled their bodies between the fire nets. The 95-style squad was used. In the frantic roar of the machine gun, the flying bullets licked like a line of fire crazily licking the bodies of the government soldiers who jumped and crawled in twos and threes.

Even the 60mm mortars belonging to the machine gun platoon blasted the deadly shells down like hail, and there was smoke and dust from the blooming fire everywhere.I couldn't imagine what kind of scene it was. The enthusiasm of the war made everyone stunned. The government soldiers who were blown up by artillery and anti-personnel grenades lay all over the floor.

Among the dead bodies, there were dying and struggling wounded.They were groaning, wailing, and calling in pain, and the wailing one after another made it difficult for everyone to avoid.But many of them couldn't continue to shout at all, because these people struggling among the corpses seemed to be the best targets.

The 5.56mm and 7.62mm bullets ripped apart the terrible blood mist between the piles of people. The muffled sound of the bullets hitting the human body made people feel the fear that came up from the soles of the feet.The place where the 60mm mortar shell fell was even more spattered.Even many corpses were plowed over.And those Red Police soldiers who stood on the ground were still yelling and pouring more bullets.In addition to constantly returning bullets, the wailing government soldiers hurriedly searched for their concealment.

A wrecked multifunctional armored transport vehicle actually sheltered more than a dozen government soldiers. This armored transport vehicle was hit by a flying anti-tank rocket when the government began to counterattack. Wrecked.However, because the vehicle did not explode, the body of the armored vehicle did not suffer much damage, but was paralyzed in the open space on this street like a stranded ship.

It is precisely because of this that the wreckage of this armored transport vehicle has become a shelter for government soldiers.This street is really open in space. Except for the ruins of broken walls on the side of the road, there is no other hiding place. Facing the frenzied shooting by the red police soldiers, the unlucky government soldiers are almost nothing. No way.

However, this kind of shelter is able to attract the firepower of the Red Police soldiers. The destruction of the tank is enough to annoy the Red Police officers and soldiers.But now, these people actually use their own tank wreck as their own cover, hiding behind the car body, to avoid the pouring rain of bullets.How could this not make the Chinese soldiers angry.

After hurriedly adjusting the direction, the two 60mm light mortars of the cannon platoon began to shell the destroyed armored transport vehicle.The two artillery shells in the first round lost ground and did not hit the wreckage of the tank, but they scared the government soldiers hiding behind the vehicle.But before the hapless Bosasso government soldiers made a decision as to whether it was time to leave this already insecure'hidden place', the third and fourth shells fell.

The wreckage of the armored vehicle was hit by an artillery shell, and another shell exploded directly between the crowd behind the vehicle, but this was not just a tragedy. The 120mm mortar on the multifunctional infantry fighting vehicle was bombed. The incoming row of shells is the nightmare of these government soldiers.When the multifunctional armored transport vehicle was directly blown into parts, the falling shells also directly engulfed these government soldiers in the flames.

The damage is extremely terrifying, especially when the wheeled armored fighting vehicle was directly hit by two 120mm grenade, the flying armor fragments of the vehicle turned into terrible metal fragments in a blink of an eye, splashing around. In the meantime, the killing effect brought by these fragments is no different from those shell skins, and it can still make the poor government soldiers fly in flesh and blood.

The biggest advantage of digital artillery is that it can deliver the artillery needed by infantry combat units to where they need to be delivered within the first time.The 120mm mortar on the multifunctional infantry fighting vehicle with high mobility and high rate of fire can bombard any target required by infantry in just a few minutes.

This is especially true for the heavy mortar platoons of the mobile infantry battalion, whose shells are always the most direct fire cover for the subordinate companies and platoons.Although the killing effect of 80mm is limited, no one can replace the field support it has.

Almost at this time, the 155mm 52 times caliber vehicle-mounted howitzer weapon system supporting the artillery battalion of the heavy artillery brigade also successfully suppressed the artillery fire of the government armed forces.When the first row of 155mm artillery shells fell from the sky with piercing screams and burst into flames, the government artillery soldiers who had been clamoring crazy were dumb.

The 120mm mortars obtained by the government forces from Ethiopia were suppressed by extremely precise artillery fire. In the blink of an eye, they were wiped out. The flames of the first round of artillery bombardment had not been extinguished, and the second round of artillery shells were all fired again. The brush fell down.

Except for the rubber tires on the lower frame of the 120mm mortar's axle body still burning in the firework, the gunners and their artillery have become a past tense in the firework.

The corpses that were blown up like muddy and scattered metal parts seem to tell that the 120mm mortar is not the opponent of the 155mm howitzer at all, holding this inconsistent artillery and having a bigger The opponents of caliber artillery engage in fire cover, which is basically an irrational behavior.

However, at this time, no one estimates what the remains of the artillery are trying to tell. For the soldiers of the two armies who are in the midst of fighting, killing each other is the most important thing.However, it seems that at this point, the Red Police soldiers are even better.They already occupies a favorable geographical position, and they have extremely strong firepower and fighting will.

Rows of meteor showers drew across the night, blowing up a blazing fire towards the south of the city.That is the magnificent picture of the rockets of the heavy artillery brigade.From the day Bosasso was under siege, these large-caliber rocket launchers that made people feel stomach cramps did not seem to stop their'weird howls'.The rocket-driven grenade flew down day and night.

And these damn long-range rockets are hiding far away from the battlefield, and the bombing distance can reach two to three hundred kilometers. The advantage of the range can make these "gods of war" splash their "steel rain" at the launch positions far away from the battlefield.

Amidst the burst of fire from the shells, the government-armed counterattack was completely defeated.

Although the officers were waving their pistols and telling the cowardly soldiers "resolutely not to retreat", some government soldiers have begun to ignore the officers' scolding, and instead continue to flee the battlefield in groups.

The officers who tried to maintain military discipline were not much better. Under the guns of the non-professional snipers of the Red Police, the conscientious of them were knocked on their foreheads by the sniper shells flying in.Some timid officers also started to flee the battlefield with the soldiers.Some people have already begun to take off their military uniforms, raise their hands, and seek a way to survive as prisoners of war.

However, for these government soldiers, this time is already too late.Whether it is to continue the offensive, escape the battlefield, or surrender to become a prisoner of war, it is already too late.Because the Red Police Force simply did not give them a chance.

Hoffmander's command and command abilities as a hero unit of the Red Police Base have been brought into full play.

When the 1st Battalion and 1st Company of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade was counterattacked by government forces, Hoffmand did not directly reinforce the 1st Company. Instead, he ordered the 2nd and 3rd Company of the 1st Battalion to continue to maintain their original offensive positions. The 2nd company of the battalion as a reserve force plunged directly into the back wing of the government army.A straight cut through the heart of the government forces in the direction of Bosasso City Hall.

Because Hoffmander knew that the government armed forces of that regiment couldn't even gnaw at the hard bones of 1 battalion and 1 company.And whether in artillery fire or other ground support, the advantage lies in the hands of the Red Police Force.

It is almost impossible to hurt the muscles and bones of the 1st Battalion and 1 Company of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade.At this time, the best way to cooperate with the 1st company is to smash the foundation of the government's armed forces directly from the flanks.It's like a strong man, no matter how powerful he is, he only needs to take time out of his borrowing points, so that he can't express his energy, that's it.

The armored brigade's tank troops outflanked the streets on both sides, and when the armored transport vehicles brought the forces of two mobile infantry platoons, the counterattack of the government forces in the direction of the city government completely collapsed.

The great collapse of the fighting near Bosasso City Hall brought about disaster-like consequences to the government forces. It was a counterattack like "drinking a dove to quench thirst", not only did not have any effect, but also brought the entire front. At the same time, they were completely caught in an avalanche-like collapse.

You know, for such a counterattack, the combat forces of that regiment are all drawn from nearby defensive forces.In this way, only such a small amount of force was assembled, and an unsuccessful counterattack was to consume such a hard-to-assemble force.This is tantamount to not being able to quench the thirst, but drunk the wine.

Naturally, the Red Police Force will not give government troops a chance to regret.The 3rd Mechanized Infantry Battalion, commanded by Hoffmand himself, went straight to the attacking starting position of the government from the flank position, and did not go directly to the 1st Battalion and 1 Company to clear the siege.This majestic and powerful move simply made the commander of the government armed forces dumbfounded. He also knew that once the back route was cut off, then let alone a counterattack, the only remaining regiment’s wealth would have to be considered dead.

"What else is more suitable for such a scene than the method similar to Mr. Sun Bin's original method of'Weiwei and Rescue Zhao'?" Li Lan, who was sitting in the base car, smiled and said to Natasha next to him: "This Hoffmander , The handwriting is not trivial. He wants to encircle and wipe out this government army in one go."

Li Lan admired Hoffmander's trick of'drawing from the bottom of the pot'.This is the case with the use of troops, decisively, and pinpoint the enemy's true veins, hit with a single blow, be ruthless, and accurately grasp the strength and weakness of the enemy.Moreover, the meaning of a defeated battle and an annihilated battle is even more different in urban street fighting.The counterattack of the Israeli government forces can never hurt the prolonged offensive force.And at this time, why not let the 1st company take advantage of the trend to become a bait, so as to achieve the purpose of annihilating the enemy's viable force.

The heavy artillery brigade’s self-propelled artillery battalion’s 155mm 52-caliber vehicle-mounted howitzer weapon system transferred their artillery support after the last barrage bombardment.The government soldiers who were dizzy by the bombing had no time to breathe a sigh of relief. Under the rumbling roar of the tank, the infantry under the cover of the Chinese armored fighting vehicle appeared on the corner of the street.Obviously, the Red Police soldiers are here.

This sudden appearance of the Chinese troops on the flank obviously caused the government forces to fall into panic.When those multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles and multi-functional armored transport vehicles ran over the mess, spitting hot snakes, and covered the mobile infantry who were advancing with cats, they had already been crushed by 1 battalion and 1 company. The government infantry, whose defensive firepower was so badly hit, couldn't stand it anymore.The collapse also began.

The red police forces outflanked on the two wings made the government armed forces jump like fish thrown into a boiling water pot to survive.But is it all useful?The rain of rocket bombs and the rain of machine guns and machine gun bombs that have swept across the sky completely made these Bosasso government soldiers lose the will to continue fighting.Facing the Chinese armored fighting vehicle group rumbling over, these government soldiers can only choose to surrender or be killed.

A group of Hummer high-mobility vehicles and multi-purpose infantry fighting vehicles, like shepherd dogs, drove the government soldiers on the street.Amid the scolding of the Red Police soldiers, the government soldiers who chose to lay down their weapons gathered together stupidly, clasping their heads in their hands and squatting into a ball.

The Chinese soldiers leaning over the machine gun turrets and turrets controlled the 7.62mm, 12.7mm machine guns, and 40mm grenade launchers in their hands, and fiddled with the Bosasso government soldiers back and forth.There are also snipers lying on the commanding heights. It seems that their eyes have never left the scope, the roar of tanks.All this seems to be telling the government soldiers, "You don't have any attempts. Anyone's resistance will cause the death of a group of people around."

"Okay, notify the 3rd Battalion, hurry up and catch up, we can't stop for too long!" Looking at the battlefield that exploded into flames not far away, Hoffmand waved his hand and said to the correspondent.It seems that Bosasso's battle is indeed at the end.

The 2nd battalion and reconnaissance company that came up from the northern line are also sweeping their target area.It will not take long for the combat troops on the west and north sides to converge in Bosasso.At that time, the government troops had no way out except for retreating eastward to the sea and the foot of the mountain, because the retreat route to the south of the city had been cut off by the tank battalion of the mechanized infantry brigade.

To the north, the first battalion of armored brigade tanks, with the cooperation of the armored brigade infantry battalion, also launched a continuous offensive against the port of Bosasso, which is the place where the Bossasso government forces are most closely guarded.Facing the erosive situation, Aville issued the slogan of coexisting and dying with Bosasso, and a large number of troops were mobilized to the port.

There is no way. Whether it is international aid or Ethiopian aid, it must go ashore through the port. If the port is occupied, the government forces will face the situation of a turtle in the urn.
