——————

The advent of the air strike shows that the enemy is ready, and it also means that a new battle is about to begin.

Hearing that the territory had also been attacked, Li Lan, who was originally worried, quickly calmed down.

At first he thought it was Ethiopian missiles aimed at him or about to dock, but now it seems that it is more of a routine air strike before the war.It is a normal military method and does not contain other military purposes.

If intelligence was obtained from this air strike and it was known that a batch of air defense missiles had arrived in Bosasso, the intensity of the air strike would definitely not be so.And there will not be two divisions, a total of eighteen MiG-23s, twelve went to the territory, and six came to Bosasso, which was obviously not a targeted air strike.

In this air attack, the air defense forces performed very well, and it is not in vain that he has been strengthening the air defense construction of the troops over the past ten days.Originally there was only one air defense unit in Bosasso, but Li Lan added two companies, and the number of air defense vehicles doubled.

Killed 14 Ethiopian fighters in one go, even the old MiG-23, it was enough to make the Ethiopian military painful.In the entire Ethiopian Air Force, all the aircrafts add up to only one hundred, and the number of fighter jets is less than fifty.Most of the rest are old-fashioned helicopters, and the most advanced are the Mi-24 gunships of the former Soviet Union.

MiG fighters have always been an important part of the Ethiopian Air Force. In addition to the dozen or so Su-27s, these fighters are used as the front door.Prior to this, the Ethiopian military has also repeatedly dispatched air forces to various places in Somalia, ranging from one or two to five or six.

This is the first time that 18 MiG fighters were sent directly to attack Bosasso and the territory.This also shows.The Ethiopian military attaches great importance to Li Lan's armed forces.However, it is clear that Ethiopia is about to cry this time, and only four of the eighteen were returned. Such a loss, even if it was the conflict with Eritrea more than ten years ago.Never.

However, the huge damage caused by this air strike was also caused by Ethiopia itself.Because they underestimated Li Lan and the air defense level of the Red Police Force.Although there is no air force and no air defense missiles, ground air defense firepower.They are all configured according to the first-class army.

These MiG fighters that came in for air raids were all mid-air raids. Obviously, they regarded this air raid mission as the same as previous air raids on other parts of Somalia, unsuspecting, and flew into the air defense firepower net.

In this situation, let alone the MiG-23.Even if the MiG-29 or Su-27 came, it was difficult to escape.After all, the integrated system of projectile and artillery on the multifunctional infantry fighting vehicle is not vegetarian.Had it not been for the high speed of the MiG series, I am afraid that all of them have now been left behind.

Li Lan was very satisfied with this sudden air defense operation.The quality of a unit can best be seen from actual combat, this air strike.The response speed of the troops was very rapid, and the preparations for battle were even better.From the air raid warning to the counterattack, it only took ten seconds or so. Such a unit is already impeccable.

Air defense operations came and went quickly. When the gunfire stopped and Li Lan walked out of the house, Bosasso returned to calm.However, the soldiers did not calm down, two pilots parachuted.At this time, two platoons were rushing to the place where the parachutes fell.

"Now, the Ethiopian military is going to be heartbroken to death." Hoffmander couldn't help but yelled.

"Look at the casualties of the troops." Li Lan didn't forget that two MiG fighters dropped aerial bombs just now, and two MiG fighters fell outside the city, and two more fell on the sea.

"Yes." Hoffmander smiled quickly.He picked up the radio and asked, and the troops underneath quickly responded. After getting the reply, he immediately reported to Li Lanhui: "Report to the commander that the target of their attack was our armored brigade, but the armored brigade was not affected. Damage. One of the aerial bombs dropped by the enemy exploded in the Italian Embassy. The other aerial bombs were only a slight loss to our soldiers."

"Oh, are you sure that an aerial bomb exploded in the Italian embassy?" This Li Lan was very interested and asked quickly.

"Yes, according to the observation of the grass-roots soldiers, an aerial bomb did fall into the courtyard of the Italian Embassy impartially. As for the number of casualties, we don't know." Hoffmand said.

"Confirm now, this is big news." Li Lan said.

"Yes."

Hoffmand did not hesitate, and immediately confirmed to the soldiers around the embassy. He soon received a satisfactory answer: "Commander, it has been confirmed. Two of our soldiers were injured under the aerial bomb. At present, most of the Italian embassy has collapsed. It is unclear how many casualties there are. Our soldiers did not enter."

"Very good!" Li Lan laughed and said, "If I remember correctly, our old opponent, Minister Awell, suddenly hid in the Italian Embassy."

"Not bad." Hoffmand nodded.

"If this is the case, then we have to take a good look. We can't neglect these international friends." Li Lan thought for a while and said: "Send soldiers to enter the embassy to help the wounded, and at the same time, let the medical soldiers help them as much as possible. At the same time, take a complete picture of the scene. By the way, see if we can find our old friend. I really want to see him."

"I understand." Hoffmand said.

The convoy came back soon and Li Lan and his party boarded the car again, but this time the convoy changed its direction. Although it was also heading towards the beach, the destination was the embassy area.

In Bosasso, it is the gathering place of all the embassies of all countries in Somalia, because it is relatively peaceful, and it is relatively prosperous among all the cities in Somalia.However, there are not many foreign embassies in Bosasso, only four or five.

China has an ambassador to Somalia but not an embassy. The same goes for the United States and Russia.In Bosasso, in addition to the Italian embassy, ​​there are also embassies of the United Kingdom, France, Norway, and Portugal.These embassies are all next to the Bosasso International Hotel previously owned by Farah. When Li Lan came to Bosasso for the first time, he also passed the embassy area.

In addition to these five embassies, there are also many vacant embassies of other countries, which are reserved for countries, but no one lives.

Bossasso, which was originally a bit peaceful, has been turbulent in recent years. The embassies of these five countries have only retained basic staff.Fortunately, the turmoil did not spread here, all parties were restrained, and the fighting place was far away from the embassy area.

This made the staff in the embassy more or less relieved, and the surrounding residents could still stay.However, early this morning, there was a sudden air strike. An aerial bomb happened to land in the Italian embassy area. People in the whole area could feel the huge movement of the bomb exploded. The surrounding glass doors and windows were in the shock wave of the explosion. Down, all were shattered.

When the air raid alarm was over and no guns were heard outside, many people gathered the courage to walk out. The Italian embassy collapsed most of the time, and even the outer wall of the embassy area collapsed. Most of it.The street outside is clearly visible.

In the ruins, there was a vague cry for help.At this time, the embassy's guards brought tools and began to rescue in the rubble.

In the embassy, ​​a lot of foreign journalists have been here recently because of the unrest and the presence of Li Lan.No one is willing to let go of such a huge news.

However, just when everyone was busy, there was a sound of cars. Under everyone’s gaze, four armored vehicles were parked behind the collapsed fence, followed by several military trucks. At the rear, there was an excavator slowing down. Drive over slowly.

After the soldiers in the car got off the car, they were about to step on the collapsed wall of the embassy to enter the embassy. At this time, a British soldier in the uniform of the British Army came forward and paid a military salute in order to maintain a gentleman’s demeanor. What are you going to do? This is the embassy area. You can't just go in casually."

The major battalion commander who led the team responded with a military salute and replied in English: "First of all, this is the land of Somalia. We are fighters of the Somali Freedom League. We are eligible to enter any land that belongs to Somalia. Second, we are here. Those who help you will bring you medicines and medical staff."

"Please forgive me for being rude. I am Major Edmond, the military attaché of the British Embassy in Somalia." Hearing that these soldiers were here to help them, Edmond's attitude instantly turned 360 degrees. Introduce yourself politely.

"The commander of the First Battalion of the First Brigade of the Somali Freedom Alliance, Major Zabbik, follow the instructions of the commander and come to help you." Major Zakbi also politely replied.

"Thank you, then come in!" Edmond also knew that the rescue methods of himself and others were insufficient, and they really needed the help of these soldiers.

A platoon of red police soldiers quickly entered the embassy area and began to help the people inside to straighten up the ruins.Many people were buried in the ruins.The aerial bomb did not directly hit the building of the Italian Embassy, ​​but exploded in the courtyard, and the house collapsed.

There is a large number of people and strength, and the work of cleaning up the rubble is progressing smoothly. Medical soldiers have also come to many medicines and medical facilities, and even drove a surgical vehicle modified from a truck.

The reporters around hadn't let it go in person. If it weren't for the interview now, they would have rushed up with the microphone.

At this moment, Li Lan was sitting on the armored vehicle, looking at the busy embassy area through the observation window, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, what he wanted was this effect.
