Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 549

Third more

————

If something has the possibility of going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

If something can develop in the bad direction, it will definitely develop in the worst direction.

Murphy's law is closely related to everyone's life, and the same is true when applying this law to the country. People have already seen the Ethiopian situation develop in the worst direction, and this is indeed the case.

With the Somali navy cruising in the territorial waters of Eritrea, a new war has reached a looming situation.The weapons and equipment supported by NATO were not fully prepared, and the mercenaries were not assembled, and the war began. This is an unavoidable result.

It is impossible for Somalia to let the enemy be ready, as long as one side is almost ready.NATO is riding a tiger at the moment. After the aid to the Ethiopian government spreads, they have already expected Somalia to launch new military strikes ahead of schedule. They have advanced the efficiency of their support weapons as much as possible, but the result is still slow. .

The Red Police Corps has launched new military operations, and this time the Red Police Corps is no longer fighting alone. In the north and south, there are nearly 100,000 troops gathered by the four military regions of Eritrea in the north, and Muratou convened in the south. Among the 100,000 troops in the middle of the attack, there are five brigades of the Red Police Corps, of which three are armored brigades.

And in these three directions, there are a large number of air forces for coordination.The Gilma government, the only thing that can immediately counterattack is to urgently "buy" incoming F-16 fighter jets and hired NATO pilots.

The atmosphere of the plains in central Ethiopia has become more and more disturbing, and the depressive atmosphere spread in everyone's hearts.The breeze brought the breath of death and the scorching heat before the war.

Precisely.The war was not initiated by the Red Police Corps first, but the Oromo tribe, which has now been completely carried over with the Gilma government.Due to the further increase in the battle atmosphere, the conflicts between the two sides on the front lines have become more and more frequent, and the outbreak of large-scale wars has also begun to be a matter of course.

The area where the war was lit is on the banks of the Omo River in southern Ethiopia.Located two hundred kilometers south of Addis Ababa.This river is named after a great ancestor of the Oromo tribe, and it is also a testament to record the area where the Oromo tribe ancestors lived.For this river, the Oromo tribe has always had a very sacred respect. In their view, it was this river that nurtured the Oromo tribe.

Since the split, the Oromo tribe has occupied the west bank of the river for the Amhara tribe.There is great dissatisfaction.These days, the two sides often shot across the river.In order to retaliate and irritate the Amharic people, the Oromo soldiers on the opposite side urinate by the river many times and dump rubbish into Hanoi.

For this kind of "chi luo" naked insult, this made Oromo soldiers even more angry.This anger quickly responded with practical actions.The Amharic soldiers on the opposite side also began to taste the price they paid for it, which was their lives.

Without any signs, in a quiet night, the artillery divisions under the Second Guard Corps composed of Oromo soldiers quietly assembled on the other side of the river.

Ten days have passed since they joined the Somali camp.During this period of time, apart from receiving a brand new uniform and salary, the weapon they received the most was not a rifle, but a rifled recoil mortar system based on a small six-wheel drive armored vehicle.

A bit similar to the French 2r2m 120mm rifled mortar system.This type of artillery in the base is marked as "Tapok rifled recoil mortar system", and it is also the most equipped fire support unit of the garrison infantry division.The caliber is 125 mm, and a total of seven types of shells can be used. When using extended-range shells, it can hit targets 20 kilometers away.Ordinary anti-personnel shells can also hit 7-10 kilometers.

The Artillery Division of the Second Guard Corps is entirely composed of this weapon system.The low six-wheel drive unroofed armored vehicle is the site, which can reach a speed of eighty or ninety kilometers per hour. It is very easy to use on mountains and plains. It has a driver and three soldiers who operate mortars.It constitutes the most basic combat unit of this weapon.And there is a very important point. In order to improve the probability of survival and the conditions for rapid deployment and intensive firepower, this weapon system is auto-loading, which is exactly the same as similar weapons in the world.

Here, Li Lan directly dispatched mobilizers to join, and formed an artillery division in the Second Garrison composed of Oromo soldiers. The whole division has more than two hundred such vehicle-mounted mortars. The whole division is one minute. His salvo was 2,000 rounds, which was extremely lethal.And it's the artillery division that hits and runs. This kind of opponent is the most troublesome.

This is also because this weapon is not a precious weapon. If it is produced in a separate base, 200 vehicles can be completed in half a month.The production of shells is not expensive. Compared with the self-propelled howitzer shells of tank killers, it is simply the price of cabbage.

On the west bank of the Omo River is the Infantry Division of the 7th Division of the former Ethiopian Defense Forces. It is one of the rare restructuring and elite units in Gilma now. It has also been strengthened by a large number of armed personnel. On the entire surrounding line of defense, against the 100,000 army of the Second Garrison, more than 150,000 troops were mobilized.

However, this 150,000 army has nothing except one gun per person and some bullets.It is not even a modern army. Perhaps by World War II, such an army can still rely on the firepower of automatic rifles to perform.According to them, the Oromo race is now following a good dad, and the equipment is greatly changed. The difference is really too big.

The assembled garrison artillery division, two hundred rifled mortars, all replaced with killing blasting shells, in the hidden grass, there was a dense shelling. The first five minutes were all rapid fire, and the back began to turn to normal speed.

In just five minutes, a total of 10,000 blasting kill bombs immediately plunged the 7th Division, the ace troop of the garrison into chaos.

When the war started, the long-range artillery unit of the Red Police Corps also naturally assisted. Not only that, the 3rd Armored Brigade of the Heavy Equipment Division, which arrived in Ethiopia within a few days, sent troops to directly assist.

Groups of armored vehicles ran across the grassland, and when they swarmed under the cover of a large number of female deer attack helicopters, the entire Gilma government's line of defense was at a loss.

The Air Force of the Red Police Corps flew over the theater again and again. In order to immediately restore the decline, the Gilma government sent six f-16s to assist. The result is obvious, in absolute numbers, even though these pilots are all in the NATO Air Force. Elites, but they can’t save a slumped ground war.Moreover, these are retiring fighters, and they are not the opponents of the invader fighters at all. The onboard electronic equipment is a lot worse, not to mention that the invader fighters also occupy the convenience and quantity advantages of early warning aircraft.

Of the six F-16 fighters, four of them became the merits of Red Police pilots, and the Red Police Air Force paid the price of being injured only by one fighter.This short-lived aerial battle also loaded a brand new record in the record of the confrontation between the f-16 and the invaders.

This kind of one-sided war did not surprise the world. Even the power company said that they were not surprised by this result. The battlefield is really not optimistic.

The same is true for ground warfare. Twenty Nighthawk helicopters transported more than two hundred special forces to the rear of the Ethiopian government army’s defense. This makes the entire defense line like a blasted pot, and all the troops are immediately like a hornet’s nest, chaos Unbearable, collapse has become a foregone conclusion.

The two infantry divisions of the Second Guard Corps crossed the riverbank and inserted again like a sharp blade, attacking the seventh division of the Ethiopian government army on the southern line of the enemy's defense line, becoming the straw that overwhelmed the entire defense line.

Under the combined attack of artillery fire, fighter planes, and armored vehicles, the Ethiopian government forces, which were originally undisciplined, completely lost all fighting spirit and retreated westward in a mess.

The third armored brigade of the heavy armored division was taken down from the northern line, and it was unavoidable that it was completely defeated. The entire line of defense was like a domino, dumping to the west.

Among the nouns of war, there are two words most easily confused, but their fundamental definitions are completely different.Defeated and defeated.The so-called defeat is a defeat in a battle, although defeat is not chaotic, it is called defeat.The latter is broken because of failure, and even unable to form a combat organization.No matter how great the loss of defeat is, it is limited, but defeat is different.Once the army is defeated, it will be of no avail even if the officer suppresses it.

The entire Ethiopian National Defense Forces was a huge defeat. Many of these were ordinary people who had just picked up their guns. There was such a fierce attack and a war that could not even be beaten. The result must be tragedy.

The mountains and plains are full of disintegrated soldiers. They are in a mess, like headless flies, running in all directions.The Air Force fighters of the Red Police Corps that kept flying overhead screamed down and bombarded the fleeing soldiers on the ground.

When these Ethiopian government soldiers saw the real war, the only result was that they couldn’t wait to have two more legs. There were discarded weapons everywhere. Those rifles purchased by the Gilma government through NATO were completely regarded as escapes. The cumbersome.

On the ground are troops of the Second Guard Corps chasing everywhere. In their ranks, you can also see Mercedes-Benz Hummers and armed off-road vehicles from time to time, as well as all combat vehicles that are easily modified from pickups.All the methods that can chase the enemy are staged on the plain one by one.

Taking advantage of the success of the war ahead, a large number of troops in the back also began to trudge across the shallows of the river, and the front line began to advance fully westward.
