——————

One day, two days, in the blink of an eye, there are less than three days left for the half-month countdown of high-level authority tasks.

During this period of time, the northeast of Somalia fell into a rare calm, even the trade winds became warmer, and the hot air seemed to be reduced a lot.

However, under the seemingly calm atmosphere, it gives people an extremely depressed feeling, and it seems that a storm is about to usher in the calm.

Puntland, Somaliland, and Ethiopia all seemed extremely calm. The small troops sent by Puntland were stationed directly a hundred kilometers away from the city of Kalin. There was no movement in ten days.

However, under the calm of the three parties, the storm has quietly formed.During this period of time, there has been more and more information from the three parties, and the atmosphere of the entire territory has become particularly dignified.Under the propaganda of the radio, many pedestrians are missing on the streets of the territory, and the flow of people to work is also in a hurry.The school is temporarily closed, and the herders have not gone out for several days.

In such an atmosphere, Li Lan got on a modified multifunctional infantry fighting vehicle early this morning and was escorted by the guard company to Bosasso.

In the past ten days, Li Lan has arranged everything. The 2nd Armored Brigade and the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Brigade, which were originally left in the territory, gradually disappeared in the territory during this period of time. The other two infantry regiments of the infantry division also quietly left the territory.A rocket artillery battalion and a self-propelled howitzer battalion of the heavy artillery brigade also returned to the territory from Bosasso.

These units are Li Lan's most powerful combat power right now, in his territory.Keep a garrison strengthening regiment, and these days.Li Lan also began to distribute heavy weapons in the garrison.The atmosphere of war has reached its peak again.

And just under such a situation where the rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings.Li Lan is out, he will set foot on the land of Bosasso for the second time.Because, according to Chinese sources, air defense missiles will arrive today.In the Gulf of Aden, the joint military exercise between China and Russia also reached the most critical exercise today, specifically blocking several waterways close to Somalia.

Military exercises are often performed here in the Gulf of Aden. After all, many countries have warships here.But like this exercise between China and Russia.It's a bit big.There were more than ten main warships participating in the exercise, with a displacement of nearly 100,000 tons, which is very rare under normal exercises in the Gulf of Aden.

However, it is hard for other countries to say anything about the posture of China and Russia. After all, every country has conducted military exercises here in the international waters. This is fair to every country.No other country can say anything.

During the exercise, several Pakistani cargo ships slowly approached the port of Bosasso. Of course, this could not hide from the sky full of satellites or the eyes of the world.Same as exercise.They can't say anything about it.

At this time, Bosasso has calmed down, but the city is still desolate, and many original residents of Bosasso want to return.They were all discouraged, because the peace here is probably only temporary.Currently.In addition to the embassies of various countries in Bosasso, there are only two infantry battalions and armored brigade of the First Mechanized Infantry Brigade.Stationed inside.

The original population of more than one million people now only has two to three million people. In addition to the red police soldiers, there are only 10,000 people in the embassies and surrounding areas. The desolate streets have not been moved by civilians for a long time.

Today's Bosasso is as desolate as ever, and there is no special posture because of Li Lan's arrival.Li Lan's trip was top secret, except for the accompanying bodyguard Natasha, only the guard company and the Bosasso garrison knew about it.

In the entire territory, no one else knew that Li Lan had left the territory, and the gathering areas all over the city were naturally not aware of this.

It took more than three hours for the convoy to arrive after three hundred kilometers.After entering the city, the convoy headed directly towards the port.

Through the observation window, the desolate and dilapidated Bosasso came into view, and soldiers patrolling the streets were often seen, as well as military dogs seemingly lazy and breathing.

The convoy stopped for a moment in the shadow of a corner, and then moved on in less than ten seconds.At this time, Li Lan's armored vehicle had more Hoffmander.

"Is there anything happening here recently?" Li Lan asked after Hoffmand got in the car.

"No important situation was discovered, but in Bosasso Prison two days ago, several detained pirates tried to escape and were killed by the defenders when they overcame the fence." Hoffmand said.

"Oh, how many prisoners are there in the prison?" Li Lan said.

"There are four hundred and twenty-three. The prison has been under our custody ever since it was attacked by us. There are several prisoners whose sentences have expired, and we have not released them."

"Yeah! Although Bosasso has changed owners, don't worry about prison matters, don't release people, and raise them every day. When I have time, I would like to meet these pirates for a while." Li Lan nodded.

"I understand."

"Has the port's alert been pulled up?" Li Lan continued to ask.He was here to receive these missiles. He didn't need to come in person, but he wanted to come out and catch his breath.Staying in the base car all day, the depressive atmosphere of the battle, made him a little uncomfortable.So, take this opportunity to come and learn about Bosasso in person.

"Always under control. In these ten days, apart from delivering supplies to the embassies, no foreign ships have docked. And since yesterday, following the commander’s orders, the port no longer accepts ships. Now There are no ships in the harbor.” Hoffmander has been leading the troops on the front line of Bosasso and organizing their defense work.

"Very good, are things ready?" Li Lan asked again.

"Three cars and three cars are all ready, as long as the unloading is complete, they can be loaded immediately." Hoffmand said.

"Order the soldiers, the speed of loading and unloading must be fast." Li Lan said.

This missile battalion is very important, and Li Lan has to be careful.In the sky, there are often unmanned reconnaissance aircraft from the US military. Although they rarely come to Bosasso, he has to guard against it.Otherwise, the missile battalion will be difficult to hide from the eyes of the US military. The missile battalion is his killer, and he also wants to help his country to promote foreign trade weapons and equipment.Once known by the enemy, the suddenness will be greatly reduced, and the enemy must be prepared.

Just as Li Lan's words fell, the harsh air raid sirens sounded.A violent braking followed and the team stopped.When the car door opened, Li Lan hadn't figured out what was going on. Natasha picked up Li Lan, ran off the armored car, and flashed into the house on the side.

Hoffmander quickly followed Li Lan's side, and the team sped away.At this time, the air defense alarm did not stop, and the harsh sirens sounded over the entire Bosasso.

Before Li Lan asked questions, guns fired all around, and the sound of the intensive artillery instantly covered the sound of the alarm.

At this time, Li Lan didn't need to ask any more questions. Through the window of the house, he saw the fighter planes roaring by under the sky.

At the same time, the signaller trot in and reported: "Report to the commander that six enemy planes are coming and have now arrived over Bosasso. The air defense forces have carried out air defense in accordance with the plan."

Hoffmand quickly said: "I see, report any new situation immediately."

Li Lan on the side took the telescope passed by Natasha and looked at the sky outside the window.

Two MiG-23s came into the sky, and the five mounting points on the belly and under the wings were full of aerial bombs.At a height of 4,000 meters, the two MiG-23s seemed to be in a hurry, constantly dodge the anti-aircraft artillery.The Ethiopian Air Force flag is very conspicuous on the plane.

The battle came. After this thought flashed in Li Lan's mind, the dense bullet rain in the sky made the six Ethiopian MiG fighters that suddenly came into an embarrassing situation.

Li Lan has been producing multi-functional infantry fighting vehicles these days, and the weapon modules selected are all air defense series, a unified missile and gun system.Although Li Lan still didn't know the specific performance of this air defense module, he gradually settled down when he saw the bullet rain that filled the sky in an instant.

In this air strike, Ethiopia seemed to be not prepared for the anti-aircraft fire, or was not prepared for such a dense anti-aircraft fire.All six MiG fighters gave up bombing, but avoided trying to climb higher.

However, intensive bullet rain has blocked a large area of ​​airspace, and the vehicle-mounted fire control radar has firmly locked them.

Soon, two fighters were shot and black smoke rose.The two pilots didn't seem to give up in a hurry, they had been trying hard to control the fighter plane, but with the loss of vitality, the plane began to plant down.In the end, the two Ethiopian pilots only chose to parachute to escape.

Successfully shot down two enemy planes, which greatly increased the morale of the air defense troops below, and the artillery fire of nearly fifty air defense vehicles in the two air defense companies became more intense.

However, two of the remaining four MiG fighters have climbed up. Although the fuselage has been hit by shrapnel, the flight performance has not been affected.Afterwards, the two fighters dropped the bombs indiscriminately and returned home immediately.

The other two were not so lucky. All the artillery fire had locked them. After struggling in the air for less than ten seconds, they headed towards the sea.

At the same time, the mobile phone in Li Lan's pocket rang. When he picked up the mobile phone, the voice of his assistant came: "Commander, twelve enemy planes attacked the territory a minute ago, belonging to Ethiopia. The MiG-23 fighter planes. However, the air strike group has been blocked by the base anti-aircraft fire. Under the anti-aircraft gun, ten enemy planes were shot down, and the remaining two have escaped.

The airstrikes caused the destruction of two residential houses and no construction units were injured. The number of casualties has not been counted."
