Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 680: The Key to Winning the War

Li Lan, who returned to Bagua City from the naval base, came to the console immediately without any unnecessary pauses, and he was about to start a new phase of construction work.

It has been a month since the Vietnam War began, but when it comes to progress, apart from taking down most of the counties and towns around Hanoi and Haiphong, there is almost no commendable record.

It is not that the Red Police Corps’ offensive has slackened, but the Vietnamese People’s Army has completely adopted guerrilla warfare tactics, and the Vietnamese government forces are receiving and adapting to new weapons and equipment, which has delayed the pace of the offensive.

The forceful capture of Hanoi and Haiphong forced the Vietnamese People’s Army to change its tactics. Since then, it has given up frontal combat with the Somali army. A large number of troops have entered the mountains and forests and hid among the people, using the tunnels left over from the war to carry out harassment tactics.

Except for some of the main forces to block the reinforcements, the other forces were all broken into pieces. Was it a sneak attack on a material transfer station or an attack on a transportation convoy? The two sides have been engaged in guerrilla warfare and special operations in the dense forest every day for these twenty days. Combat.

In the face of such a situation, the pace of the war wants to be fast but not fast.

However, this is not to say that the front has not advanced in the past month. In the twenty days since the attack on Haiphong, the current front has advanced more than two hundred kilometers to the south, which is far from the next Vietnamese People’s Army. Guangzhi, the big city under control, is only about 100 kilometers away.One hundred kilometers south of Quang Chi is Da Nang. As the most important port in eastern Vietnam, Da Nang's strategic position is more important than Hai Phong.

Therefore, even if the People's Army of Vietnam cannot start a large-scale corps battle with the Red Police Corps.But in these two cities, several lines of defense have also been formed.Most of the elite troops were also transferred to the gradually defensive line between the two cities.Then let a large number of militiamen infiltrate the rear and destroy it.

The Red Police Corps is not very anxious. They work step by step to cooperate with the government's reverse osmosis and strive to make every step safe.This is also a very important reason for the recent slow offense.

The militia of the People’s Army of Vietnam can infiltrate the rear to destroy, and the government forces of Vietnam can also infiltrate the areas controlled by the People’s Army to carry out harassment tactics.In such battles, the Red Police Corps played a central torsion role.Slowly advance the entire front south.

The air force and navy are constantly bombing the rear of the Vietnamese People’s Army.All valuable targets have become targets of attack.Used to combat the enemy's combat potential.

This month, it is not an exaggeration to describe the whole of Vietnam as charcoal, hundreds of thousands of tons of bombs.Sway on this land.There is almost no pure land in southern Vietnam.Millions of Vietnamese were crowded on the border, and refugee camps began to appear one after another. If Cambodia and Laos hadn't taken them in humanitarianly, their lives would be a big problem.

Now, after a month of buffering, the Red Police Corps is also preparing to start the second step of its offensive plan.The Vietnamese government forces have completely armed the 700,000 troops.It also has a certain combat effectiveness, especially strengthened ground forces.Also has a very strong firepower.

Many artillery and armored vehicles sealed from the Russian army have become the main equipment of the Vietnamese government. Artillery regiments were quickly formed, and a large number of trucks carrying arms were transported from the Sino-Vietnamese border.

In just one month, under the armed forces of China and Russia, the Vietnamese government forces at least pulled up more than ten divisions of artillery and four armored divisions, and the force structure was at least doubled.

The Vietnamese People’s Army on the other side did not show weakness. Although NATO did not support its air force and navy, a large number of individual air defense and anti-tank missiles have also entered the pockets of the Vietnamese People’s Army. Even many guerrillas have no Few individual missiles and sufficient mortars and rocket launchers.

The meaning of NATO is very obvious. They did not waste their efforts to support those weapons that are unable to compete directly with the Somali army. Instead, they asked Vietnam to carry out guerrilla warfare. The weapons they support are also very useful equipment for guerrilla warfare.

With the experience of Ethiopia, they will not repeat the same mistakes now. As long as the guerrilla warfare can hold the Somali army long enough, it will be a big profit even if it is given away.Mortars, rocket launchers, portable anti-aircraft weapons, and portable anti-tank missiles are not very expensive.As long as there is a result, it is a profitable business.The NATO countries that have been tragically beaten by guerrilla warfare in the Middle East now want to let Somalia have a taste and let Somalia feel the cost of downstream warfare.

At the same time, both NATO and China and Russia have sent a large number of staff officers to become the decision-making teams of the two armies.

At this time, both sides have also begun to get busy. Somalia is building up strength. This can't be hidden from anyone. The next frontiers also targeted the coastal cities of Guangzhi and Da Nang in central Vietnam.They must also be prepared to respond in time.

No matter what Li Lan prepares for the opponent, such as the big corps fighting, in Vietnam, no one will be the opponent of the Red Police Corps. Even if they face enemies several times their own, the Red Police Corps can simply defeat the opponent.

Therefore, in his opinion, whether it is Da Nang or Quang Chi, these big cities do not need to worry about him at all to win, but in the face of the dense jungle, he has to pay attention to it.

In the past month, all the reconnaissance units and special forces of the Red Police Corps have also participated in the jungle guerrilla warfare. The independent special forces under the Ministry of National Defense, more than 1,000 elite SEAL units and sniper units have also entered. The jungle.

Thousands of military dogs and tens of thousands of terrorist robots have also become the main force in guerrilla warfare in this month.

In the face of the Vietnamese People's Army resorted to guerrilla warfare tactics, Li Lan had no reservations at all.Except for tanks that could not enter the jungle, he sent all the troops that can participate in jungle operations.

Even spies, he sent hundreds into the jungle, disguised as the Vietnamese People’s Army, spied on real-time intelligence, or participated in assassination missions.Various methods are used to extremes.

Today, in the training center, there are hundreds of elite special forces who originally belonged to the third-level elite.They are being trained in the jungle warfare of the Devil's Hell. They were originally elites who have experienced many battles after being baptized by the training center.They are definitely approaching heroic existence.

For this reason, Li Lan also specially brought together the fighting heroes-the battle wolf from the SEALs and the battle hero Said from the sniper unit, and asked them to bring an elite unit to become The core of the entire jungle guerrilla warfare.

In Li Lan's words, there is always no Rambo in the world, but he will create hundreds or even thousands of Rambo.The only thing that makes him feel pity is that it has been almost seven years.There are only a few hero-level characters under his hands, and the only fighting type heroes are Wolf Warrior and Said.

otherwise.If there are two more combat-type heroes, he can deploy the entire Vietnam strategy calmly.

However, with this arrangement now, the whole battle situation is not very bad.In his hands.There is a report on counter-guerrilla warfare in the past twenty days.

According to Li Lan's request.With SEAL units and sniper units as the core, together with military dogs and terrorist robots, a hunting squad with no one to ten people is formed. According to real-time intelligence provided by spies, there are thousands of hunting squads. In guerrilla battlefields large and small, counter-guerrilla warfare attacks against the guerrillas of the Vietnamese People’s Army.

After twenty days, the results cannot be said to be brilliant, but they also defeated the guerrillas of the Vietnamese People’s Army.A little bit timid.What's more, beside these hunting teams.There are also many Vietnamese government forces that have formed guerrillas to cooperate. On various traffic routes, there are regular troops guarding and air force and artillery support.

The actual result is the entire guerrilla front. The living space of the Vietnamese People’s Army has been compressed step by step. Although they have advantages in local operations, the Red Police Corps also has other advantages, and the Vietnamese government forces also have advantages in local operations. Not every village is on the same road with the Vietnamese People’s Army.

In the case of acquaintances, many dangerous tunnels and battlefields are not a secret to the hunting team of the Red Police Corps.

However, the next stage will not be so easy. Every time the battlefield approaches one kilometer to the south, the local superiority of the Vietnamese government forces will lose one point.If the exhibition is moved to the southern part of Da Nang, almost all villages are under the control of the People's Army, and that will be the most difficult time.

Moreover, there is another factor that is very unfavorable to the Red Police Corps when the front line goes south, and that is the lengthening of the guerrilla front.The territory of Vietnam is originally long and narrow. In the central part, the width of the shortest part of the territory of Vietnam is only more than 200 kilometers, but to the south, the width becomes four to five hundred kilometers.

The lengthening of the width of the battlefield will bring about many problems, especially in the counter-guerrilla warfare. The long display means that the strength of the troops is diluted, and the People's Army can use the long front to continuously infiltrate the rear.And the People’s Army can put more guerrilla forces on the same line.

Therefore, what Li Lan has to consider now is the counter-guerrilla warfare tactics behind. However, in the face of guerrilla warfare, there is no real effective deterrent tactics at all.

The method he can think of now is very rigid, and that is to expand his guerrilla team.Therefore, for the past twenty days, he has to recruit at least fifty terrorist robots, twenty-five army dogs, fifty Marine Corps soldiers and twenty-five snipers every day.

In this way, at least ten hunting squads can be formed every day, and then elite scouts can be selected from the regular troops to form the second line of defense against guerrilla warfare.

Coming to the base console, the construction list he selected ten days ago has almost been completed.

The fingers danced quickly on the control panel, and soon, a new recruiting list was waiting.Five hundred terrorist robots, two hundred and fifty army dogs, five hundred Marines, two hundred and fifty snipers, plus one hundred spies.

This is the construction task for the next ten days. One hundred hunting squads can also be formed in ten days.

However, in the face of guerrilla warfare in Vietnam, military means are only part of it. In order to complete the ultimate mission of the base, Li Lan also worked hard. For this reason, he also specially formulated a combat requirement for guerrilla warfare.

The essence of counter-guerrilla warfare is the attitude of the occupying forces. It is the correct attitude to find ways to reduce the crimes caused by the war and reduce the damage to the people of the war, including the people of the enemy country. The first priority is to maintain an objective attitude and an equal mode of thinking towards the people of the enemy country. In other words, it is necessary to treat the people of the occupied territories as human beings, not as animals and treat the people of the occupied territories kindly.

And the first priority of the Huairou policy is not to use violence against the people in the occupied areas to vent the losses caused by the rebels because of the violence in the occupied areas.This is the most stupid move, and it will also lead to the escalation of violence, and will push more people to the side of the armed resistance.

To put it bluntly, it is normal for you to occupy the territory of another country and suffer resistance. The world pacifists like Ah San who are accustomed to being slaves are a minority. People in most countries must have the motivation and resistance to resist. Acting, in this case, we must quell this resistance, not with a hateful look, but with an attitude of resolution. This is the old man’s mantra of the Chinese people in the anti-Japanese war. The little devil came to our country to kill and set fire. , Killing you is normal.

To this end, Li Lan formulated three guidelines.

The first point is to establish the absolute military superiority and military superiority of the occupied area, and show your powerful force to the people in the occupied area. This is the basis of counter-guerrilla warfare in the occupied area. You are not as powerful as the guerrillas, or are similar to the guerrillas. Wars are mutually won and lost. How do you control the occupied areas and how do you make the people in the occupied areas believe in your authority?

In fact, one of the most successful counter-guerrilla warfare battles in history, the British guerrilla warfare against the Boers in South Africa, started with 3 to 40 thousand people, but the guerrilla warfare became more and more prosperous. In the end, 300,000 people were fought. Guerrilla warfare by the Boers.This fully shows that the basis of counter-guerrilla warfare is force, and the basis of force is the number of troops.

The second is that the security forces must have a sufficient number. If the quality is not enough, there must be a number, and they must have a certain number of local supporters.The puppet army is the best help. At his request, every village is occupied by the puppet army, and then propaganda, giving money and land benefits, and further drawing in the grassroots of the occupied area.The complete isolation of the people in the occupied areas from the rebels is also the second most important factor in addition to absolute military force and the key to the success of the counter-guerrilla warfare.

The third is that the security forces in the occupied areas must strictly restrain the military level, strictly prohibit all kinds of violent violations, strictly prohibit all kinds of incidents of harassment, and strictly prohibit infringements on the lives and property safety of people in the occupied areas. The area must be stationed in peace The occupied area is divided to prevent a series of harassing behaviors by the army.

More importantly, after the occupying forces have suffered violent attacks and caused losses, it is strictly forbidden to retaliate against unrelated or suspicious civilians and civilian gatherings. Only the front teeth can be knocked down and the real culprit can be found before doing so. Blow.Otherwise, there will definitely be a violent cycle of turning violence into violence, pushing more people in the occupied areas to the side of the rebels, changing from a mentality of onlookers mocking soy sauce to a mentality of hatred or even revenge.

Generally speaking, the above-mentioned military strategy achieves the first two and basically eliminates organized guerrilla warfare. The final third is mainly to resolve conflicts, reduce hatred, humanitarian concerns, and long-term considerations for future rule. The practice is not necessary.Many armies in history failed to achieve the third point, and they still won in anti-guerrilla warfare. The most typical example is the British army in the British-Berg war.

The Red Police Corps is completely centered on Li Lan. It is not difficult to achieve the first and third points. The most difficult is the second point. However, the Vietnamese government army is not a bunch of idiots. The war ended soon and a complete regime was successfully obtained.

Therefore, after Li Lan sent these three points to the decision-making level of the Vietnamese government army, the other party also very readily agreed. The ideological educators set up by the government army at the grassroots level are good propaganda methods.

It was originally a family, and there was no hatred that could not be solved.

Military means, coupled with the soft policy, coupled with the propaganda of the grassroots personnel of the government, these three steps together are the basis for winning this war.
