ps: Two in one, the sixth and seventh are sent together.21,000 words are completed.

————

The pace of the war has become more and more compact due to the passage of time and the smaller and smaller living space of the Gilma government.

When the sun sets again, the entire battlefield is fully unfolded. From fighting in the air to fighting on the ground, the morale is like a rainbow on the one hand, and on the other hand, life is used to pile up defense lines.

The flames of war have become more and more fierce and have reached the point where they cannot be dealt with.

Throughout the day, gunshots have never stopped on various battlefields. This point-to-point war is the most cruel aspect of war.And it is manifested in a lively life.

Jima, a city similar to Mertu, is located at the intersection of Addis Ababa and Mertu at a 90-degree angle. It is the last line of defense in the east of Mertu, where the Gilma government is located.

This line of defense was placed extremely high by the Gilma government, and it was also the most tightly guarded city. Among them, there were thousands of mercenaries assisting in the defense. After the war went on, it was only hours and the sky began to darken. The defensive work of this city has only been completed, and it has really been immersed in the Gilma government too much effort.

However, the speed of the offensive team was not slow. Before seeing the enemy, fierce artillery fire was staged in the city. It seems that this city, not far from the last heart of the Gilmar government, is a difficult place to gnaw.

For this, two full hours of artillery were prepared, all heavy artillery and long-range rockets.The intensive artillery fire made the entire city seem to have become a city that never sleeps, and the sky above the city did not see the slightest dimness.

A 120mm self-propelled mortar carried by the Second Garrison.And 63-type 107mm light towed rocket launcher, as well as the Red Police Corps long-range rocket launcher and missile for two consecutive hours.After the bombardment of the city was over, a complete building could no longer be found.It is not impossible that the entire city will be razed.There is no such thing as a high-rise building itself. At most, there are two or three-story buildings. With nearly 100,000 tons of explosives, basically there is still a little ruin left, which is very good.

However, the battle did not become easy because of this. When the Second Garrison invaded the city, it was still strongly resisted by the Ethiopian defenders in hiding.Get up from under the ruins and begin to fight back.

Moreover, mercenaries also came to support quickly. Under the attack of armored vehicles and tanks, the first wave of attacks was directly repelled. There was no way. The Second Guard Corps had no choice but to seek the help of the Somali regular army.After the bombardment continued, after the Red Police Corps reached the attack position, the second attack began again.

As before, the troops were resisted as soon as they entered the city.Both sides have paid huge casualties in every ruin and street.Before the Second Guard Corps attacked the third block, mercenary troops appeared.

Similar to the picture just now, the leading armored vehicles and tanks countercharged the attacking Second Garrison.The offensive formation was immediately broken up because of the lack of sufficient weapons to counter these tanks, if there were no accidents.This time I will also be kicked out.

It's just that there is a lesson for the first time.This time I came naturally prepared.

A moving light tank suddenly ignited a big fire, and the entire tank burned forward after a while.Finally, it exploded into a spattering steel fragments, and the wreckage of the car body died there like an empty shell.

Almost at the same time, a tracked infantry fighting vehicle not far away burned into a huge fireball with a "boom". The two-person turret, which was still spitting flames just now, was blown away in the waves of fire like fallen leaves in the autumn wind. Got out.

Not only were the Ethiopian soldiers stunned at the scene that appeared suddenly, even the mercenaries who followed the tanks and armored vehicles were also very surprised to watch this scene. Several consecutive tank platforms were bombed into waste. iron.This was completely different from what they had imagined. In their view, they would easily wipe out the enemy in front of them as before, and then squeeze their large forces into a corner.Originally, they planned to keep some soldiers to prevent themselves from being bombarded again.Now, this vision naturally cannot be realized, but in a blink of an eye, I can only watch the tank on which I depend is destroyed.

However, the matter has not yet been over, a period of electromagnetic storm swept out suddenly, all the mercenaries immediately heard a strong rustle in the headphones, and someone had already cursed for it, "Damn it, this is strong electromagnetic interference. Shortwave." But no matter how they turn, the result is the same. All radio communications have lost contact, even with shortwave.

However, it was not yet their turn to really take care of them, because the god of death had already soared into the sky.

"The missile is coming." I don't know who yelled. The mercenaries on the entire battlefield couldn't help but raise their heads. Sure enough, dozens of "feather arrows" shot from the night in the sky. Already reaching the top of their heads.

"Boom! Boom..."

Huge explosions happened one after another, and the fire almost reflected the night sky of the city again.Lightly armored vehicles were torn to pieces by bursting red and black fireballs in this burst of air, and there was gun smoke and scorching heat everywhere.

For Ethiopian soldiers and mercenaries, the real disaster is just about to come. In the dark, countless four-cornered creatures quickly appeared in the ruins of the city. With the help of explosion dust and smoke, four flexible mechanical feet were in the ruins. Zhongjian walks like flying, if they can participate in hurdles, it is absolutely unmatched.

The four slender legs, running and jumping, is simply dazzling.

The mercenaries and Ethiopian soldiers who survived the explosion have not felt fortunate that they have survived. They just looked up and saw the mysterious object galloping in the distance. Since they were in the dark, each of them could do it. He heard the creaking sound of the mechanical foot running at high speed and the sound of trampling on ruins.

For unknown things, especially those who have just survived death, they are always the most prone to fear thoughts.However, they are lucky.Because the feeling of fear had not yet risen, they saw a scene that shocked them.Under the light of burning fire.They all saw the robots that were almost half human.

Four legs plus a round body.If you add four legs and a pair of tongs, it is definitely a big crab.However, they have no time to think about what it is.

Terrorist robots are mainly used to deal with tanks and vehicles. It is very dangerous to deal with infantry, because even ordinary pistols can destroy them, so it can be said that they have no defense at all.Therefore, speed has become a critical survival factor.And the speed is fast.It is also very convenient as a means of attack.

Just like the scene being staged, there is no need for a complicated attack. Before reaching the target, all the terrorist robots just jump slightly, and then fall on the enemy. No more means are needed, everything has been resolved. Up.

Their four sharp mechanical feet, matched with the weight of the terrorist robot, can easily penetrate the enemy's body.Even those mercenaries wearing body armor.It just made the terrorist robot take a little more effort, but the result did not change.

From behind, all the mercenaries were even suspicious, seeing these robots kill their companions so easily.Are you in a science fiction movie? Otherwise, how could there be such a lethal robot in this world?And it doesn't seem to be controlled by humans, it feels like alive.

Fortunately, this stupefaction is only a short time.When they were fearful, their physical reaction as a soldier.They have been asked to adjust their guns and aim at the source of fear.

But misfortunes never come singly.Before they could shoot, dozens of dark green gunships climbed out from among the ruins in the distance along with the strong air current of the rotating blades stirring the air.Under the smooth fuselage with small string ratio and short wing on both sides, the launch nest of Hessen's aero rocket glows with dazzling luster.

A whole row of rocket launchers sandwiched anti-tank missiles, dragging a long tail flame like a meteor shower, roaring from the black fleet, neatly breaking the comb-shaped white feather marks between the sky. This is the god of death. Weapon, death sickle.

"Boom, boom..." The violent explosions joined together. Almost all the streets and ruins were on fire, and thick smoke billowed into the sky. The sudden attack brought all the chariots and soldiers on the street into one. attack range.

These hapless tanks were torn to pieces before they continued to perform their effects, and none of the crew members escaped alive.

Greater disasters ensued. The endless rain of rocket bombs began to neatly cover the battlefield. In the sound of explosions, infantry fighting vehicles preparing to counterattack were engulfed by the tumbling flames.The flying fragments happily jumped and danced, and cut into the weak human tissue with a screaming sound.There were burning vehicle wrecks and dead bodies everywhere.

As the main assault force in the first round of strikes, the Army Aviation Battalion was a series of ruthless hands.The reconnaissance helicopter modified by the Nighthawk as a target correction, with a very uncoordinated spherical head, quietly hid in the night sky not far from the flames of war, slowly rotating the top of the rotor shaft. Spherical sight, and send a series of coordinate data values ​​to each crew.

As they climbed out suddenly, the attack helicopters immediately used millimeter-wave fire-control radars to lock in the coordinate data of the targets sent by the reconnaissance helicopters, and successively launched the airborne anti-tank that was already ready to go. missile.

Not to mention that these Ethiopian soldiers and mercenaries hadn't noticed in advance, even if the gap was reached, there was nothing to do.After all, they do not have sound armaments. Even those experienced mercenaries, without the support of a complete armament system, and the close cooperation of other arms, can hardly predict the emergence of these helicopters.

What's more sad is that they have been fighting here for almost an hour, and they don't know that the Somali regular army has come to their side. This is the real reason for this failure.

The murderous female deer attack helicopter lightly nodded the nose, and the sky roared out like rainy air rocket barrage, seemingly bursting into the sky everywhere.The bursting fireball mixed with air waves engulfed a group of Ethiopian soldiers and mercenaries who were too late to dodge.

In the rear, Ethiopian military officers and NATO military advisers in the name of mercenaries faced violent aerial firepower and continuous explosions.Continue to send orders to the front line: "All armies immediately look for cover and organize anti-aircraft firepower." These commanders with some military literacy know that the ground forces are under the attack of aviation firepower.There is very little force to fight back, if no decisive measures can be taken.Then the battle of defending the city will be more difficult.

However, under the fierce helicopter fire, the efforts of these officers and European consultants were only in vain. The burning vehicle wreck all over the ground caused the morale of the soldiers to plummet, and the panic had begun to sporadic outbursts.And the rain of rocket bombs that continued to roar in made this already drastically falling morale even more on the verge of collapse.

Although NATO has prepared a lot for this war, there is still a lot of equipment that has not come in handy.Just like the large number of individual air defense weapons, the result was very sad, because the command vehicles in the city's branches in secret and safe places have basically been destroyed.The radio communication was also paralyzed. Now all the orders were basically unable to be delivered, and I could only stare at the wreckage of the destroyed command vehicle.

In previous attacks, those long whip antennas made these aluminum alloy tin boxes tell others that I am the most important target. With the positioning of radio signal reception, it is difficult to escape even if you hide behind a wall. Blow.In the loud explosion of the shaped charge warhead, almost none of the command vehicles could escape the bad luck, and they were all exploded with smoke billowing from the vehicles.

The command is desperately issuing orders.It was also quickly locked, which is not very strange. After all, the entire Jima City is full of strong electromagnetic interference.How could such a strong signal over there escape the detection of the reconnaissance helicopter.After sending the signal to the gunship in the air, everything is doomed.

The officers and European advisers who were desperately organizing troops to deploy air defense flew in the flames.The swirling fragments directly sent these conscientious people who were still working in vain until the last moment of their lives into hell.

The soldiers of the Second Garrison who were resisting originally watched the war that fell to one side in an instant.All of them took a breath.It's not that they haven't fought the Somali army before, when they were originally on the Ethiopian government.Some soldiers have also seen the strength of the Somali army.

It can also make them so shocked by false rumours, which shows the shock of the scene before them.It's just that for a moment, every soldier of the Oromo clan flashed in his mind the patriarch's true and wise thoughts at the same time.If it were not for their patriarch, at this time they should be the target of such artillery fire.

If it is a person, as soon as you see the rows of rocket bombs passing over your head, blowing up the enemy that had previously been aggressively attacking, the fire waves erupting from that column are like singing and dancing in the festival. , Dancing, and then consuming all the lives that can be swallowed by them.With such a strong impact, they could feel the shadow of death spontaneously.

"Fortunately, we are now comrades in the trenches." This is the common idea of ​​Oromo soldiers in every Second Guard Corps.

The battlefield was not over. The black and heavy helicopters flew over the heads of these exultant Second Garrison soldiers, and the strong airflow stirred up smoke and dust in the rubble city.On the nighthawk transport helicopter hovering in the air, countless figures swiftly descended along the dropped zipline, reaching for their guns, bending over and heading towards the block not far away.

The most fanatical rain of aviation rocket bombs slashed the Ethiopian soldiers who had fled in all directions, and the infantry descended smoothly under cover.All of a sudden there was a rain of bombs and fireworks.

Groups of Nighthawk transport planes rushed out in the gunpowder smoke, and the airflow dissipated the scattered gunpowder smoke. As soon as the tail-wheeled three-point landing gear touched the ground, the heavily armed red police airborne infantry swarmed and jumped out from the open hatch.

The Red Police soldiers who descended from these planes did not leave directly. Instead, they stepped forward tens of meters, seeming to guard the land where they landed.Immediately afterwards, a large number of Nighthawk helicopters arrived again. The sturdy and huge aircraft did not affect the excellent performance at all. The downwashing air flow stirred by the tilting rotors on both sides of the fixed wing blows the ground into flying sand and rocks, and the sides are flat. The three-blade propeller, which can be used as a propeller blade to propel the propeller blade, and then used as the vertical lifting power after tilting, beats the air.The clamshell tailgates of the cargo hold with hydraulic springboards opened in full, and light assault vehicles roared out of the cargo hold.At the open sliding door on the side of the fuselage, figures were constantly jumping off the plane, and soldiers and light tanks were surging everywhere.

This airborne troop that arrived was not a part of the brigade or division-level troops, but was part of the air cavalry division that Li Lan had been slowly forming.

Ji Ma is Motu's last line of defense. In order to end the war as soon as possible and prevent the night from becoming more dreams, Li Lan sent many units directly under him one after another. Among them, the air cavalry division had almost completed the basic organizational framework, and was sent by Li Lan.The only purpose is to tear open this last line of defense, so that the army can quickly drive straight in.

This is also the first show of the Air Cavalry Division. Although the enemy is not very powerful, they are here to win the war, not to compete with their opponents.

When the surviving Ethiopian soldiers and mercenaries realized that the enemy had undergone a complete transformation, they were almost unable to launch a counterattack.What they faced was no longer the incompetent Second Garrison soldiers, but the most elite troops through and through.And such troops have never stopped appearing. The sky seems to be full of helicopters. Many mercenaries who have picked up portable anti-aircraft missiles to counterattack, without the means of countering electromagnetic warfare, can only watch those who have just launched into the air. Because of electromagnetic interference, the target cannot be found, like a missile that hits headless flies.Faced with such a death-hunting behavior, the female deer fleet also gave a good response, combing through the intensive firepower, and 30mm machine shells flew and broke one after another.

Behind the quarter horse, those mercenary tanks that are trying to avoid the intensive artillery fire have no chance of luck. Perhaps they have received the order to abandon the quarter horse and quickly return to Motu to build a new defense, or they may have received rapid support for the quarter horse. Order, but it's all too late.

Whether it is an armored vehicle from Poland, a Challenger main battle tank from the UK, or Leclerc, who is already ready to go, there is no chance now.Before they could get out of the hidden eucalyptus forest, the anti-tank missiles from below were exploded into flames, and the broken arms of the human body and the twisted barrels were flying together in the erupting fire. In the waves.

These tanks, which were still waiting for an opportunity, were directly surrounded by a large number of female deer and became the victims of politics. The mercenaries driving the tanks, without exception, contributed their lives in the discovery of the incoming missiles.

If they are driving the latest tanks and equipped with reactive armor to increase their defenses, they may still have a great chance to fight back, but NATO’s politics and stinginess have ruined their lives.

In the rear, after the Second Garrison looked at the Somali soldiers fighting happily, they were unwilling to be lonely. To be honest, they could not keep up on the battlefield, but there was something that could keep up-the trebuchet rifled recoil mortar. system.The enemy's defense line in the chaotic city of Jima began to be bombarded violently.

At this moment, either amidst the screams that pierced the sky, rain-like detonation grenades fell one after another, or groups of armed helicopters pierced through the thick smoke of the sun and rushed into the distance like meteors.

Just as the air cavalry division was about to break this last line of defense, the two armored brigades that suddenly jumped out of Addis Ababa on the other side, just like the black tiger stealing the heart, directly penetrated the defense line set up by the Ethiopian government army, and With the help of the high-speed maneuver of the armored force, it is like a right hook, directly turning from the right, hitting the left cheek of the Ethiopian government.

In addition, the left-line troops of the Second Guard Corps were almost behind Motu, and a three-sided encirclement situation was about to take shape.If Gilma and others can't find a way, then it won't take long for Motu to fall in this kind of encirclement, and even if they will go to the sky, they will not be able to escape.

At this moment, the Somali Ministry of National Defense directly held a press conference, inviting all reporters from various countries in Somalia to the scene, claiming to the outside that this press conference will answer questions from reporters as much as possible.It seems that in order to attract journalists more smoothly, the Somali Ministry of National Defense also publicizes information on the battlefield to the media.
