ps: Sixth more.

Before the war broke out, Li Lan returned to Bagua City early and went to Addis Ababa to meet Muratu in person. After all, Mulatu is very familiar with Chinese culture, and Li Lan doesn't mind showing The importance he attached to him gave him a very good first impression.

As a result, he was successful. Mulatul easily agreed to his request, and he did not disappoint Mulatul. Everything went according to the agreement without any discount.

A large number of military uniforms and weapons and equipment seem to be of high value, but those things are really nothing to Li Lan, and the 60 million Somali shillings paid in his view are also very worthwhile. After all, they can get An army of one hundred thousand, this sale is absolutely worth it.

The horns of the war unfolded as planned, with an offensive from south to north. Although the plan was unable to control every detail in detail, the main direction did not change.

For this war, he specially prepared for nearly a month, because the time was too short, he dare not say that the preparation was perfect, but basically everything that should be prepared did not fall.

The war was a bit anxious, but in order to prevent the enemy from getting ready, he decided to start like this.

Now, two full hours have passed since the war. After Lin Meiqi fell asleep, Li Lan came to the command center.

As the center of the tripartite armies, it has been very busy since the war broke out. All the computers are full of staff members. The intelligence is gathered here and displayed in text on the big screen on the wall.The staff also kept going back and forth, turning into text messages.Print it out, and then modify the situation of friend or foe on the simulated map.It is also very busy.

"How is the situation now?" Li Lan asked as he walked to Tan Ya's side.

"The current situation is going well. The Air Force is mainly attacking the Cuban city where the enemy is hoarding supplies. Although the enemy has gathered heavily in the southern battlefield, the fight went smoothly at the beginning. The mob can't stop our tanks at all. The direct fleeing formed by humans is currently advancing across the southern battlefield. Up to now, the battlefront has advanced forty kilometers. Several towns along the way have also been successfully occupied."

"What about the north?" Li Lan asked.

"Eritrea is all attacking in the north, and the red police force is only assisting from the side. At present, the Eritrean advance force has already advanced to the largest city in northern Ethiopia, Mekele, which is Ethiopia, due to the acquisition of some troops from the Ethiopian border. An important city in the north, the Ethiopian Plateau to the west, and the Haude Plateau, which has been occupied by us, to the east. Therefore, this city is the fastest route for the northern army to go south. It is also the first target that the Eritrean army must capture.

but.The city now has a large number of Ethiopian troops on defense. Although the number is not as crowded as the south, they are all former Ethiopian Defense Forces, which are still very effective in comparison.Follow the deduction.If you want to completely win, at least after dawn."

"The North and the South don't care about time, the most important thing is to fight steadily. The Red Police Corps is to hold the center line. Then squeeze it down from the north and the south. As long as the attack is steady step by step, then the enemy has more armed personnel. It's a mob." Li Lan said as he came to the map, took out his baton and drew a circle on the map.Said: "We should be more vigilant about the mercenaries now. Therefore, we don't need to pursue efficiency and seek stability in everything."

"Yes." Tan Ya nodded. She naturally knew this very well. If there were no mercenaries, this war would not require such labor and attention.

"What was the situation in the bombing of Cuba?" Li Lan asked again.

“It’s all going well now. The French’s wishful thinking has been shattered. At present, our ten peacekeeping bombers have bombed two rounds, and carrier-based aircraft have also been dispatched on a large scale. It is expected that by tomorrow night, the entire city will be completely destroyed. Destroyed." Tan Ya said.

Li Lan nodded. As long as the armed forces in Cuba were destroyed, he would have won 30% of this chess game. If it weren't for the fact that a large amount of supplies had been shipped out, his chance of winning this chess game would be 20% more.Of course, people can't count the whole world, they can only do their best to fight for it.

In the northern part of Ethiopia, the city of Mekele has been caught in the flames of war at this moment. The First Army of Eritrea has completely launched a large-scale shelling of the city from four directions.Although they don’t have such good things as self-propelled artillery, there are still a lot of towed artillery, not to mention the assistance of the Red Police Corps, which directly provides fire support from the east. After the war began, it fell into a white-hot state. .

Nearly 30,000 combat troops of the First Army, under the wild and frantic bursts of fire from the 152mm field howitzer, the armored units leased to them by Somalia took the lead, followed by Eritrea’s own light armored vehicles, roaring in the dust. Rushed out.

As an important gateway for Ethiopia to go south, the existence of this city has determined its military value, and agreement is also destined to be a disaster that this city will inevitably endure under the war.

The violent artillery fire almost blasted the entire outskirts of the city to a pile of rubble.The First Army did not care about the life and death of the civilians in the city, but blindly used artillery to cover the advance of its ground troops.Large tracts of houses vanished in no time.

The rumbling of gunfire made Hanoi, which was already a panic, even more chaotic. After waking up, many citizens chose to flee the city. The roads were full of people dragging their families and avoiding the war, and the traffic was crowded into a pile. .

On the front line of the battlefield, after almost completely turning the entire suburbs of the city into rubble, the vanguard of the First Army finally tore open the defense line of the Ethiopian defenders.Rolling wheels, following the advancing tanks and armored vehicles, Eritrean soldiers stepped on rubble and messy corpses.

Under the leadership of the Rhino Tank, the attacking teams in four directions advance from the four main roads in the city. The infantry connects this kind of offense, and with the help of armored vehicles, attacks the resistance forces around the trails. .

On the messy city streets, you can see that many Ethiopian defenders are preparing new city defenses, trying to block the advancing chariots.

The baptism of artillery fire made the whole city like purgatory. The destruction caused by modern weapons of war is simply shocking. There are buildings that have been bombed into ruins everywhere, and some houses are still burning with fire and flames rising into the sky. There were black gauze-like pillars of smoke standing between them, and the corpses that had been folded across were already fragments of cannonballs that had exploded beyond recognition.

Several old crawler-type infantry fighting vehicles cover the soldiers walking under the guns, turning the two-person turrets from time to time, and violently blasting the broken walls on the street that are already scarred by bullets.

A t-72 tank that had survived the shelling had just appeared, and it was caught by the advancing rhino tank.Two old opponents, when they meet, there is naturally a spark.In the past, the rhino tank stepped on the t-72 to become the focus of the world's attention. Although the t-72 it stepped on was a monkey version of castration, it also quickly improved the status of the rhino tank.

The driver of this t-72 was obviously stunned when he saw the rhino tank on the street. He didn't expect that just out of danger, he saw the rhino tank that once caused the Ethiopian armored brigade to sink into the sand, never again. The Ethiopian soldiers feared this tank even more.Because the shells they fired couldn't hurt each other at all, and the other's tank guns could easily kill themselves with just one shot.

As soon as the two sides met, the result was doomed. T-72 didn't choose to escape, but directly switched the muzzle to the most accurate rhino on the street, and so did the rhino.

Just when the two sides were about to decide the victory or defeat again, the v-1ft anti-tank missile roaring out from behind the rhino tank ignited the t-72, and the t-72, which was about to bravely decide the victory, became an instant. The burning steel furnace.

The crew on the Rhino tank shrugged their shoulders at the same time and continued to move on to the attack route.

The battle is still going on fiercely. The Eritrean First Army just invaded the city, and it was met with a fierce counterattack for a long time. In order to defend the city and stabilize the most critical defense line to the south, Ethiopian soldiers had to fight desperately. Under the guns of the various supervision teams and the desperate pressure of commanders at all levels of regiments, battalions, and companies, they led the teams to guard every street and house as their deputy.Any rout and retreat will be regarded as fleeing and touched on the spot. The red-eyed Ethiopian soldiers even launched a counter-charge. They engaged Eritrean soldiers on the streets in a close-to-dead battle, but every charge was head-on. Was ruthlessly disintegrated in a rain of bullets.

Twenty millimeters of machine shells were intertwined and cut like chains of fire, hitting those houses that were already dilapidated and dusty, mottled broken stones and bricks were falling down like a volcano. The eruption-like fireworks suddenly turned into nothing, with the human body's stumps and broken arms, flying around.But even so, the pouring rain of bullets continued to vent, hitting the narrow streets with head and face, raising neat rows of dust.

The soldiers of Eritrea were also uncomfortable. Street fighting was inherently cruel. They had to pay a lot of sacrifices if they didn't move forward. Even with the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the death rate of the offensive side was still not small.

Fortunately, this kind of steady and steady tactics continues, and the space for the Ethiopian defenders to persist is gradually shrinking, and failure is inevitable.
