Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 696

When the flames of the Vietnam War became more and more prosperous, Li Lan and Lin Meiqi were also warmly welcomed by the King of Cambodia. Except for the formal inter-governmental talks and individual meetings on the first day, Li Lan and Lin Meiqi were both Spend in the event.

The arrival of Li Lan made the Cambodian king attach great importance to it. Li Lan also cares very much about the relationship with Cambodia. As the saying goes, one more friend means one less enemy. Although Cambodia has always had a good relationship with Japan and the United States, Japan is even more concerned. It is Cambodia's largest supporting country, and its relationship with Vietnam is also very good.

But this does not prevent Li Lan and Sihamoni from establishing a friendship. Although the two countries do not cooperate much in the military, Li Lan still needs an economic friend in the economic field.

Sihamoni also very much hopes to cooperate with such a young country as Somalia. In the eyes of many people, Li Lan is a very magical leader. Although Li Lan is still very low in the ranking among countries, he is very important to many countries. In other words, his status has reached a very high level.

In the international arena, Li Lan still has a say.Especially this time in the Vietnam War and the emergence of the Third Fleet in Somalia, the right to speak has also increased a lot.In the environment of the big world, rich or hard fist is the capital of speech.You have nothing, no one will listen to you.

Sihamoni invited Li Lan to visit Cambodia, not only because he wanted to establish a good relationship with Li Lan, but also because of Vietnam.As a neighboring country, Cambodia naturally hopes that its neighbors will not be too strong. Although his relationship with Nguyen Jinyong is not bad, he chose Li Lan on the war level.

Therefore, since Li Lan entered Cambodia, all the itineraries have been arranged in every possible way, and the treatment specifications have almost reached Cambodia's highest etiquette for receiving foreign guests.

However, the two sides have never talked about any topic about the Vietnam War, or there is no need to say more.When Sihamoni invited Li Lan, his meaning was fully expressed.The issues discussed by the two parties are almost all about economic exchanges and discussions on energy and future cooperation prospects.Nor did it talk about politics, it was purely to explore all possible cooperation projects.

Time was also spent in talks and activities. On the third day after the official visit, Li Lan had time to take Lin Meiqi and enjoy Cambodian folk customs.

Where did the two go in these two days.They are all accompanied by guards and Cambodian security personnel. The places they go are either schools or museums or places with memorial significance. They are official public events.

Today, they can finally disappear from the sight of the media, put on a simple disguise, and blend into the local scenery.Although the day is short.It is not enough to see all the scenery of Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia.But for the two of them, one day is already very satisfying.

The joy of the day did not make Li Lan forget the soldiers on the front line who were still fighting bloody battles. After returning to the hotel, Lin Meiqi was also very interesting and did not continue to disturb Li Lan, allowing him to deal with the stagnant work of the day.

And Natasha also waited early for Li Lan's return, when she saw him.He immediately piled the backlog of documents in front of Li Lan's eyes.

After briefly reading the contents of a few documents, he didn't have too many opinions on the instructions made by the staff team inside, and passed it straight away with a stroke of a pen.Later, there are more reports of wars.

Unlike the leaders of other countries, the status of Li Lan base commander has an added responsibility, and he is always aware of the situation of the war.and so.Regardless of the extent of the war, he needs to control the entire process, not simply listening to reports.

"At present, the Vietnamese People's Army has gathered more than 100,000 troops in and around Shengping County, and there are a large number of reinforcements coming in the rear. They used smoke and camouflage to avoid aerial surveillance step by step. They are approaching Shengping County. . And our side only has less than 50,000 people around Shengping County. It will take some time to wipe out the enemies in Shengping County in one go.” Natasha briefly reported.

"How long will it take?" Li Lan asked.

Natasha shook her head and said: "The enemy's tenacity is beyond expectation. In addition, the opponent has a numerical advantage, so if you want to quickly wipe out the enemy in Ping County, the most conservative estimate will take three days."

"What about the enemy's reinforcements? When will it arrive soonest?" Li Lan remained calm in response to Natasha's answer.

"We will arrive in Shengping County in two days at the latest, and there will be a lot of them." Natasha said solemnly.

"Three days and two days..." Li Lan shook his head lightly, and did not say anything, but continued to ask: "What about the situation in Da Nang?"

"The current situation in Da Nang is similar. The enemy's resistance is extremely resolute. The city's concrete buildings, sewers, and basements are all fortifications they resist. Although our troops have sufficient fire support and air support, the enemy has also become The artillery fire disappeared without a trace as soon as the artillery fire came. When the artillery fire ended, they all appeared again. Moreover, the individual anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles they possess also caused huge damage to our armored forces and helicopters. Threat. Except for the Apocalypse main battle tank, no other equipment can resist this kind of sneak attack by the opponent.

Although we have mastered the initiative of the war, the opponent is still fighting stubbornly, and our losses have begun to slowly increase.Up to the present position, the battle in Danang has reached the third day. We have killed 80 outstanding fighters, lost six rhino tanks, 15 armored vehicles and seven armed helicopters.Nearly half of the casualties occurred today.As for the puppet army, nearly a thousand people were killed and thousands were injured. The total number of helicopters, armored vehicles and tanks lost exceeded 300.And we have now only successfully captured two counties, and five counties are under the control of the People's Army."

"In three days, less than one-third of the mission goal was completed. This is too slow." After listening to the report, Li Lan also expressed his dissatisfaction.

Natasha also had a trace of shame on her face and explained: "Before the war, we thought we had overestimated the people's army's fighting will, but the result was indeed a complete underestimation. This also led to the difficulty of the battle after the start. Compared with the first stage In the battle, the People’s Army we are encountering are all direct units of the southern system, and their fighting will is very tenacious. Although they do not have very advanced equipment and their combat literacy is very average, they are the most difficult to deal with among the enemies we encounter. of.

At the beginning, we had fought against the American army, and also fought against many elite troops in France, and fought against the Italian army. Although these armies are very good in terms of equipment, they are not difficult to deal with, because we are not bad.But the opponents he encountered now were all desperadoes.They can even disguise themselves as corpses, stand on the road, bombs under them, and die with the crushed tanks.Speaking of the end of madness, they are no less than our soldiers, and they treat themselves more cruelly."

Hearing Natasha's explanation, Li Lan was silent. Recalling the scenes the US military encountered in the Vietnam War, he understood that this kind of thing really cannot blame the soldiers, but the enemy is too tenacious.

"So is there a strategy for getting along?"

In any case, the battle between Da Nang and Shengping County must be resolved as soon as possible. The time delay will be very unfavorable for the Red Police Corps.

"For such an enemy, what we can do now is to be more careful, and the enemy is ruthless, we must be more ruthless than them." At this point, Natasha's face flashed a rare hideous color, and continued Said: "The Ministry of National Defense has authorized the combat forces to lift the necessary means. To deal with such an enemy, we cannot use any friendly means to change it. Only you die and die on the battlefield, and we can only be more cruel to deal with cruel enemies."

"You can control the degree by yourself. The whole world is watching this war. Be careful not to go too far." Li Lan did not deny such a method, but also asked not to mess around.He knows very well what the so-called means of lifting the ban on war means. If such an order is really communicated to the grassroots combat troops, and according to the effect of the Red Police Corps' execution of the order, then few enemies they face will survive.As for the prisoners, they will become very few.

Natasha nodded cautiously and said: "This order to lift the ban is not aimed at civilians. It is only aimed at any enemy who is hostile to our army and capable of fighting. You cannot help yourself when you step onto the battlefield. False surrender was used to attack. Therefore, this order also clearly pointed out that any enemy who is still capable of fighting is an enemy, not a captive. Soldiers have the right to kill on the spot, and the premise of this order is an enemy who is not persuasive to surrender. ."

Li Lan didn't continue to say anything. He was tacitly acquiescing to the Ministry of National Defense's approach. In order to win the war, even if there was more blood on this road, he would not hesitate.

"The fighters on the front line are very lucky to fight, I need to do something for them. And there are some people, I must also go to meet." Li Lan suddenly changed his voice and said.

"What does the commander mean?" Natasha asked, unable to guess what Li Lan wanted to express.

"I came to Southeast Asia this time. Although I accepted the invitation of Cambodia and Laos, I came to Southeast Asia. However, the Vietnam War has always cared about my heart. I want to go to Vietnam and meet the top leaders of the Vietnamese government. , And also went to the grassroots to condolences the soldiers." Li Lan said.

"How can this be done? It's too dangerous." Natasha directly persuaded her without thinking.

Li Lan waved his hand with a very firm attitude: "I am determined."
