The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs soon received a strong diplomatic note from the United States. In the words, Washington directly conveyed its bottom line to Beijing. Once China again supports the illegal armed forces in Somalia, and Li Lan's sphere of influence will once again expand, affecting the region. Peace and stability.In the interests of the overall situation of world peace, the US military will be determined to maintain the stability of the situation in Somalia.The same note was also sent to the Moscow Kremlin.

However, whether it was Zhongnanhai or the Kremlin, the laughter of the supreme leaders of the two countries was heard at the same time.The United States is in a hurry, can they not laugh?In the past, it was the United States who looked at the world with a smile, and received such a chance to receive US diplomatic protests.

This is enough to explain too many problems. The United States has formally worried about the impact on the strategic pattern that China and Russia have become closer and closer in recent years. In the recent period of changes in the world's regional situation, it has repeatedly been caused by the cooperation between China and Russia. , Leading to the miscarriage of many American policies.With regard to the most direct Syrian issue, the United States has already had its arrows on the string, and it finally died down.

This time, the tough stance shown by the United States has allowed China and Russia to see the concerns of the United States.If it was the United States before, now it has been charged with a single charge, and then it is a very simple missile. How can it be said that so much?

Regardless of whether it is Putin or the No. 1 chief of China, it is clear that the United States is not joking, and in order to prove its unanimous words and deeds, both the Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet took actions at the same time and began to march towards the Gulf of Aden.

Of the two, the one who felt the most funny was Chief One, because he knew the twists and turns inside.Li Lan's weapons and equipment have already made him laugh from ear to ear. Of course, this is on the premise that Li Lan has given all these equipment to China.In particular, he knew that these equipment were not supported by China, and that China had such a reputation on its back, the No. 1 Chief was very happy.

It is in the interests of China to cause trouble for the United States in other regions, and it is also what Chief One wants to see.Although because of being a Chinese, this matter cannot be separated from China.But what about it? If Li Lan really needs China's support, then the No. 1 Chief will not hesitate to catch Li Lan back, so as not to cause confusion.However, Li Lan relied on her own and did not receive any help from China in army building.With such a person, Chief One really wants him to live a long life.

If one day Li Lan can come up with a navy and air force that can meet his army's strength, Chief One really wants to confront the United States, because it is totally worth it.In particular, he no longer doubts Li Lan's motives, and this incident is definitely not an American director. These two points are enough for him to give it a go.

Under the attitude of the No. 1 Chief, China just responded to the protests by the United States, and it was a real official Tai Chi promoter.Half a day later, the Ministry of National Defense of China announced that it would mobilize the third 071-type dock landing ship, the Changbaishan, the 052c destroyer, the Lanzhou, and an ocean-going integrated supply ship, the Qiandaohu, to the Gulf of Aden. The replacement has been implemented in the Gulf of Aden for half a year. Jinggangshan with multiple escort missions.

China's response made the top Americans angry, because this kind of action completely ignored the United States.However, the Chinese Foreign Ministry's attitude of being soft and hard has left the United States at a loss for a while.However, with regard to the East China Sea and South China Sea issues, China suddenly softened, and China's attitude became unpredictable for the United States.

However, the core point of the incident, the protagonist surrounding Li Lan, is not clear about the changing situation of the international situation, because at this moment he is organizing troops to encircle and suppress the few remaining armored forces in Ethiopia, and has no energy to pay attention to them.

Within six hours after the battle began, the Second Armored Brigade, together with more than two hundred rhino tanks in other organizations, had completed the encirclement of three armored brigades in Ethiopia. The heavy artillery brigade and the heavy infantry regiment completed the The Occupation of the town cut off all the retreats of the Ethiopian armored forces.

As the war of annihilation was intensified, the Ethiopian side was completely anxious, and the main force was exhausted. A total of 33 fixed-wing fighters, including 15 Su-27s, ran back and forth on the battlefield.

The Rhino tank suffered a lot of casualties, and the heavy artillery brigade had to retreat into the air defense net of the base. As the self-propelled artillery unit was out of range, all were at rest. The main reason was the missile attack from the Su-27. The air defense forces could not threaten the Su-27.However, fifteen Su-27s are too few after all, and their destructive power is limited for a battlefield of this scale.Coupled with the Red Police Corps' attitude of never giving up until it reaches its goal, Ethiopia's aerial strikes can only create a stronger desire for the Red Police Corps to attack.

The mission of the Red Police Corps is clear. According to Li Lan's order, that is, nothing will grow.

This is an asymmetric war between Africans and Africans. Before, in the eyes of normal people, Ethiopia should have the absolute advantage. However, the result of the matter is completely opposite. The so-called asymmetry, in fact, Ethiopia is at a complete disadvantage, even if All the Su-27s of the Egyptian army are exhausted, and this cannot be changed.

The victory of the war was already doomed when Hoffmander delivered the victory to Li Lan.The 1st Armored Brigade and the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade have completed the annihilation of the Puntland Republican Guards in Kalin, and it has only been eight hours before the battle began.

The five infantry brigades sent by Puntland, plus an armored brigade full of facades, were within eight hours of two brigade-level units commanded by Hoffmand, but they were simply wiped out and nearly 30,000 people were captured.The actual situation is that when the First Armored Brigade directly pounced on the Puntland Republican Guard, the battle evolved into capturing prisoners.

At this time, the fighting in Somaliland was still in full swing, and Li Lan did not let Hoffmand rest. Instead, he ordered two tank battalions of the 1st Brigade, plus three infantry battalions of the Mechanized Infantry Brigade, to set off as soon as possible. The southern part of the Surud Mountains marched westward, heading straight to the other big city of Puntland, Erigabo.

Ericabo is located at the foot of the highest peak of Surud, in a straight line with the territory, across the mountain.Ericabo belongs to the state capital and has a population of three to four hundred thousand.Many of the refugees that Li Lan took in at the time came to the base through the trails of Erigabo passing through the Sulud Mountains.

Originally in the Sulud Mountains, there was a highway leading directly to the coast of the Gulf of Aden, but it has not been maintained for many years, and the mountain roads along the way have long been impassable.From the territory to Erigabo, along the westernmost end of the Sulud Mountains, it would be more than 100 kilometers, much closer than from the territory to Bosasso.However, Ericabo does not have much value, so Li Lan did not choose here before.

Now, he and Puntland are considered to be in line with each other. Naturally, there is no need to worry about them, and they simply order Hoffmand to take down this city that has been reduced in size.

However, this was just a seizure, because the main order Hoffmande received was to bypass the western end of the Surud Mountains, intercept the Ethiopian army’s retreat, and form a new interception.This is the rhythm that really wants to kill all the Ethiopian troops entering Somalia.

As a hero-level general, Hoffmander naturally knew the meaning of Li Lan's order, so after receiving the order, he immediately dispatched troops to set off, and even he got on the command car and commanded nearby.The remaining troops and artillery battalions remained in Kalin and Bosasso as defensive forces.

From Kalin to Erigab, the straight-line journey is only more than two hundred kilometers. According to the slowest Rhino tank marching speed in the team, it takes more than four hours to march, and after Erigab, there are hundreds of kilometers of road. To go.This also requires at least two hours.

However, Li Lan only gave Hoffmand eight hours. From the order to the planned location for intercepting the Ethiopian troops, the whole journey was only eight hours, and the tank troops had to arrive all at once.

In order to avoid picking up the sesame seeds and losing the watermelon, the four battalions led by Hoffmand went straight into the weak Erigab, and swaggered under the eyelids armed by various local forces, waving the Somali national flag and passed Eriga. Bo.

Under the huge momentum of more than seventy rhino tanks and hundreds of multifunctional infantry fighting vehicles, all the armed forces of Erigabo were very silent. Now in Somalia, who does not know this battle, all the local forces, He didn't even have the qualifications to choose a position, so he could only keep silent.Even if they wanted to do what they saw such a terrifying armored unit, they were very sensible as not seeing it.

After Hoffmander ordered the army to stop in front of the government gate of Erigab, a dozen soldiers directly planted the Somali flag in front of the government building and announced their occupation.A sentence was left: "Erigab has been occupied!" Immediately after taking a picture, no one was left behind.The government army in Ericabo was very sensibly silent, and sent Hoffmand and his party away with awe.

After the huge convoy completely left Erigab, the convoy stopped again. After more than half an hour of fuel replenishment, after all the fuel that followed the convoy refueling truck was emptied, the team set off again.

At this time, the three Ethiopian armored brigades on the battlefield of Somaliland were very few. The remaining troops abandoned the troops behind the palace under the cover of the air force. In the end, there were still troops dissatisfied with the three battalions and withdrew.

However, when the U.S. military had notified them that the retreat had been intercepted, in the face of the front and back interception, a Morhua division sent by Ethiopia urgently stayed in Burao.Because the result is doomed.
