Red Alert Somalia

First of all, the most aggrieved in this air war is the United States, a young and powerful country, but with a history of 200 years, it is a global giant.

Now the so-called global strategy of this Big Mac has been tested in this war.

The battlefield in Somalia, this is the sad place of the United States back then, the shame of the Black Hawk falling has been washed away.Now this place has quickly evolved into a nightmare for the US military.

All coalition air bases close to the battlefield in Somalia, whether they are air bases in Ethiopia or France, or US air bases overseas.When the Red Police Corps launched a counterattack, it was hit by precision ballistic missiles.The accuracy of the v-1dd missile is high, and the coalition’s air defense missile system is not weak.

However, the defensive side itself is passive, and the mid-range interception has become impossible due to the front line, and it can only rely on the end interception.Whether it is the Patriot-3 or the French-Italian Shion air defense system, they are all very good air defense and anti-missile weapons.

But unable to withstand the cyber attack that just happened before, resulting in the temporary paralysis of the upper and lower command system of the coalition forces.In the following ballistic missile strike, only two were intercepted, and the remaining missiles all hit the target.

At the beginning of the counterattack, the coalition forces lost three airfields that could quickly approach the front line.The remaining airports are basically a thousand kilometers away, which is beyond the combat radius of fighters.As a last resort, the coalition forces had to put the auxiliary fuel tanks on the subsequent supporting fighters to reduce the bomb load.This barely eased the pressure on the air combat battlefield.

The uncharacteristic pressing of the Red Police Corps also allowed the coalition forces to see subtle changes in the battle situation. Dempsey immediately ordered all nearby US air bases to go to support them immediately.

There are many U.S. military bases overseas, some of which are on record, and many more have many disguise.For example, the hundreds of bases established by the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as more than a dozen bases built in new European countries, have not been included in the "Pentagon Overseas Bases" list.Plus some venues that are acquired through secret intergovernmental agreements or are not suitable for publication.There are no fewer than 1,000 military bases under the control of the Pentagon.?

These densely distributed bases, together with the approximately 400,000 American soldiers stationed or deployed on them, as well as the aircraft carrier battle groups and ships patrolling in various sea areas, constitute the power map of a huge empire.It is precisely by virtue of this network that the United States can sit at the top of the power pyramid. On the one hand, it can quickly wield a "moral" sword against any "rogue", "rogue", or "Satan" country or regime it has accused of. Deeply participate in affairs of various regions of the world.Radiate the power of Washington to all corners of the world.

From the ancient Roman Empire to Great Britain, the use of military bases to control hubs and seek hegemony can be described as the universal skill of hegemons.Although the United States is a rising star in this regard, its achievements have never been seen before.The Roman Empire spanned three continents, and its influence was ultimately limited to areas under its military control.Great Britain, a global hegemon that has been glorious for two centuries in modern times, has only established bases in more than 30 countries in its heyday.After the end of World War II, the United States has established more than 2,000 bases in about 100 countries and regions, with more than 30,000 military installations.The overseas military base network is second only to the nuclear monopoly and constitutes a recognized symbol of its superpower status.?

However, the United States has the weakest military bases in Africa.Only three African countries can be found on the Pentagon’s list of overseas bases.Among them, there are two in Egypt and two in Kenya.In Djibouti, the three coastal countries mainly provide naval bases.In recent years, the United States has attempted to further penetrate inland through counter-terrorism activities in the Horn of Africa and seek to establish more than a dozen forward operating bases in North Africa, but progress has been limited.Africans can't tolerate American boots on land.After the establishment of the African Command in 2008, no country was willing to provide office space except for Liberia, where wars were frequent.The headquarters is still left out in the cold in Stuttgart, Germany.

Fortunately, during the preparations for war, the United States and France walked together, and France's inherent military bases in Africa were good places for the US Air Force to station.

However, even if fighters from the Central African region came to support it, it still couldn't match the Red Police Air Force with a combat radius of only 500 kilometers.To know.Under the construction of Li Lan, the Red Police Air Force has owned 400 fighters in two years, of which more than half are Black Hawk fighters with strong air superiority.

With excellent pilots and the advantage of quickly reaching the battlefield, the coalition forces are in this air battle.There is no advantage at all.But the Red Police Corps fighters have another advantage, that is, the fighters are brand new, and the oldest is not only two years old.In the Allied Air Force, many fighters are more than ten or twenty years old, and physical aging has reached a period of frequent accidents.In the face of high-intensity air combat, it is not surprising that one or two fighters are shot down occasionally due to accidents.

The air force is not dominant, nor is the coalition on the ground battlefield.Without the support of the air force, no country’s army has ever fought such a large-scale war.The two armies are fighting purely on the ground. The only attack helicopter is the Apache. The female attack helicopter and the Apache at the Red Police Base have also met many times in this battle. Corps troops fought back and forth on three battlefields.French Tiger and Panther gunships also come to join in the fun from time to time.

The battle on the ground is definitely far more tragic than in the sky. Both sides have carried out multiple sneak attacks on the enemy's rear long-range artillery positions, each with casualties.The long-range tactical rocket strike system has also been contested many times. The shotgun tactical rocket launcher system of the Red Police Corps (mentioned above) and the coalition’s m270 tactical rocket strike system have conducted multiple cross-theater fires, and neither killed nor injured. small.

The tactical rocket and missile systems used by both sides have a range that exceeds that of the surface-to-surface missiles of ordinary countries. Sometimes the extended-range missiles launched can even hit targets more than 300 kilometers away.In terms of weapon performance, neither party has an advantage.And in the tactical use link, it is basically at the same level.

In the short-soldier confrontation, the soldiers of the coalition army also encountered the most difficult opponent to date.The enemy they faced was not the indigenous Africans who carried the ak-47 and looked like a native of Africa, nor were they the Arabs they had encountered in the Middle East, but fighters born specifically for war.

Whether it is combat literacy or military popularity festival, these enemies in front of them are causing the coalition forces a lot of headaches.They found that their opponents were completely like a group of lunatics, fighting for eight days, they were shocked that they had not caught even one prisoner.At the last second of the battle, it is still either you or me.

Such opponents are the most troublesome, not to mention that they are still a group of elites with various advanced individual equipment, and they are extremely indifferent to life. Even if the coalition forces are superior, they are still suppressed to death. .

Especially in the two battlefields of Hargeisa and Galkayo, the battle for every street has become extremely fierce.When handed over, there are burning armored vehicles everywhere, and occasionally you can see the main battle tanks destroyed by both sides.

The m1a2, Leclerc, Apocalypse tank, and Rhino tank that have been blackened by the fire are everywhere.

The war is bloody, and the real bloody battle started from the counterattack last night. All the soldiers of Hargeisa’s 1st Armored Brigade and Galle Kayo’s 1st Heavy Equipment Division instantly transformed from their original defensive state into crazy offensive. status.When the shelling ended, the battle immediately went into intense heat.,

The war is crazy, and it’s extremely cruel to go hand-to-hand, but every Red Police soldier seems to be suffering from a madness, or seems to have drunk a potion of violent violence, and is not afraid of death. The most violent offense.

Twelve hours later, the Italian armored brigade had not entered Galle Cayo, and the coalition forces in Galle Cayo had been in danger by the crazy offensive of the Red Police Corps.A big encirclement squeezed the coalition forces in the center of Galle Cayo city.

The war is arrogant. In Gallekayo and Hargeisa, it is difficult to see the buildings that have not collapsed. The entire city has become a pile of rocks, pieces of house ruins, which have long been unknown by the tracks of the tank. How many times have been crushed.

War is also a feast for the gods of death. Compared with air combat and artillery clashes, the deaths of short-term soldiers come faster. In 12 hours, at least thousands of Red Police soldiers were killed or injured in Galkayo alone. Hargeisa was no better. Where to go.Of course, as the coalition forces that have just turned into a defensive posture, there are many casualties.

A US Marine Corps has less than 1,500 people left in Galkayo. To this day, a large number of wounded soldiers are besieged inside. Facing the enemy’s heavy siege, I can only pray for reinforcements as soon as possible. Come here.It's just a good wish.

In Hargeisa, the results are also very good, reaching the expected goal.

On the third floor of the base, through Tan Ya's detailed account, Li Lan also got the latest impression of the battle.

"At this time, you must not relax. Tell the soldiers that as long as you hold on for ten more hours, where the war will go, there will be a very clear result."

Li Lan knew very well that in the twelve-hour battle, the soldiers had reached the stage of severe physical exhaustion. Under normal circumstances, he would let the troops choose a short rotation for rest.But the war has reached the most critical moment, which can also be said to be a turning point in Somalia's destiny. At this time, even if he is sympathetic to the soldiers, he cannot give the soldiers an order to rest.

Only by gritting the teeth and holding the battlefield firmly in his own hands will it help the next plan.

"Yes." After receiving the order, Tan Ya immediately got up and left, returned to the room and put on her military uniform, then walked into the elevator and returned to her post.

After Tan Ya left, Li Lan did not stay here, but instead of going to the console, he went out of the base and came to Somalia CCTV.
