Red Alert Somalia - 973 Chapter 971

A whole week has passed since the war in Egypt. The two sides have increased their military strength to 200,000, which has almost reached the limit of saturation. Now the fighting is not limited to Cairo.◇

From Cairo to Alexandria and the Mediterranean front line, there are battlefields everywhere, and special forces from both sides have infiltrated behind to conduct special operations against supply and support forces.

Fighting is spreading everywhere. The Nile River, the birthplace of Egyptian civilization, is also the concentration point of the Egyptian population. Now, the fighting has spread around the entire Nile River.

A large number of NATO special forces have penetrated into all corners of the Nile River to attack the river transport and supply routes of the Somali logistics forces.

On the contrary, the Somali special forces quickly penetrated the Mediterranean coastline, vigorously destroying the materials that arrived from the Mediterranean.

On the frontal battlefield, the forces of both sides have reached saturation, and fighting has broken out in every city north of Cairo, and both sides have a steady stream of reinforcements.

The most lively air force is the Air Force. According to incomplete statistics, in the ten-day battle, the two sides have lost more than 500 fighter jets over Egypt. However, whether it is Somalia or NATO, they are still eager to think. To seize air supremacy.

The whole of Italy has become a bridgehead for NATO fighters to go to Egypt. There are thousands of fighters taking off and landing every day, because unless it is a huge number of advantages, they can’t stop the attack of Somali fighters.

The ground is already riddled with holes, a large number of residential areas in the city have been reduced to ruins, and many streets are not as tidy as they used to be, and bomb craters can be seen everywhere.And the gunfire in your ears.

Nine days have passed since the Egyptian war broke out.At least tens of thousands of people were killed in battle on both sides, and thousands of equipment were lost.

But still no one chose to back down.Logistic supplies are still continuously sent to the front lines.

In the base, Li Lan has been very busy every day since this week. He did not specifically command the troops to fight, but was busy with another job, building defensive weapons.

There is only one type of construction, sentry cannon, and a large number of sentry cannons are built.

Thirteen sub-base vehicles have been building sentry guns in a short period of nine days.He has built a dense number of sentry cannons north of Cairo.

This is his first attempt to build defensive weapons on the battlefield. It can also be easily done by using game bugs in the game.

Back then, what Li Lan liked most was to build giant artillery around other people’s bases, or mines, to attack opponents’ minerals and bases.

It’s just that there is no such bug in reality, but now Egypt has been included in the friendly camp and can build defensive weapons in Egypt.

And he did it all the time, only this time.He did not choose to build anti-aircraft weapons, but instead chose sentry guns.

Li Lan is very familiar with the sentry gun, and when he first had a base, he could build this weapon.The double-mounted 30mm rapid-fire gun has super lethality at a straight-line distance, with a powerful straight-line lethal range of 3,000 meters.The effective killing distance is five kilometers.

Such a weapon as a defensive weapon does not require manual operation.No need for ammunition supplies, as long as it is not destroyed.You can work for a long time.

Regrettably, this kind of defensive weapon has never been able to go out of the country and can only carry out passive defense within the scope of sovereignty.Li Lan deeply regrets this.

Now his regret can be made up. The stalemate that the Egyptian battle has entered is not a satisfactory result for both sides.

NATO needs to change tactics as soon as possible, and Li Lan also needs to change tactics as soon as possible.And he soon had a plan. The front line of the current battle cannot be changed. As Egypt and Italy are not far apart, it is difficult for the Air Force to gain an advantage as quickly as possible.

It is not that he did not send fighter planes to Italy to attack the deep airports in Italy, but the effect has not been very good, and the fighter planes that NATO attacked were all broken.

Soon the two sides gave up this sneak attack, and various electromagnetic weapons were tried. The silent battle of the electronic warfare against the troops has never stopped.

All kinds of new tactics are difficult to work, Li Lan immediately thought of the possibility of defensive weapons on the battlefield.

The cost of a sentry gun is only 6,000 base funds. It is a very cheap and efficient weapon. In terms of attack effects, it is extremely cost-effective.

Soon this idea became firm. All the defensive weapons of the thirteen sub-bases were stopped, and a large number of sentry guns were placed on the priority list of the construction list.

Then came Li Lan’s busiest time, the sentry gun was a defensive weapon, and once the enemy was found, it would counterattack, and the ballistic trajectory would also cause damage to his own soldiers and equipment.

Therefore, the choice of construction site requires him to plan well.

In order to prevent accidental injury to his own troops, Li Lan chose to build all the sentry guns around NATO’s heavy forces, and avoided the sentry guns from attacking his sentry guns, which was also carefully designed.

In order to use the sentry gun as a surprise weapon, he had to shut down all the defense mechanisms of the base, shut down all the defensive weapons, and then chose to build the sentry gun, all of which chose the hidden construction method.

After many days of hard work, he kept building sentry cannons, and a large number of sentry cannons were scattered all over the city streets and coastal lines west of Cairo.

He wants to give NATO a big surprise and spare no effort to build it.

The construction of the sentry guns did not take long, and soon a large number of sentry guns were hidden under the feet of NATO soldiers.

Today, thousands of sentinel guns have been deployed throughout the north of Egypt. The time of nine days is already the limit of 13 base vehicles.

As long as the resting state of the defensive weapons is lifted, these sentry guns will suddenly exert force under the base friend or foe identification system.

On the tenth day, Li Lan was still only building sentry guns, and had not planned to unlock the resting state of defensive weapons in this way.

The reason is simple, what he needs is to seize the advantage of war, not purely to kill the opponent.

Although the sentinel cannon has good offensive power.But there is no way to help him win the war.And fixed and immobile sentry cannons, at best, can be effective in a short time.Will be destroyed soon.

Even if he started the full maintenance state, he could not stop NATO’s counterattack firepower.

Use sentry cannon.It is just to change the situation of this war and give oneself an advantage.This is not enough to rely on sentinel guns alone, the focus is on air superiority.

Modern warfare has seized air supremacy to be able to take advantage of the war. At present, neither side can obtain air supremacy, which is also the main reason why ground warfare has entered a stalemate.

If they can gain air supremacy for a certain period of time, the offensive of the ground forces will become very smooth with the support of the air force, and they can match the attack effect of the sentry gun.To reverse the difficult situation of ground warfare.

However, if air supremacy could be obtained so quickly, he would not wait until now.

The number of NATO fighters has always been around twice that of Somali fighters for a long time, and the quality advantage has been evened out.

To obtain air supremacy, it must be attacked with the same number of fighters within a certain period of time, so that NATO’s air defense in northern Egypt can be broken.

After putting the last set of sentry guns on the construction list, Li Lan asked Natasha, who was always by his side, “The construction of a temporary airport in Egypt. How is it going?”

“At present, three temporary airfields have been completed, and the four air force command centers built by commanders can also take off and land fighters. An hour ago, the two Apollo fighter wings of the First Aviation Division had all been stationed in the air force command in Egypt. Center. The other fighters in the plan will also be stationed in Egypt’s air base and temporary airfield in the next twelve hours.” Natasha replied immediately.

“How many fighters can we take off directly from Egypt?” Li Lan asked again.

“There is no problem taking off two hundred fighters at the same time. With fighters taking off from Eritrea, four hundred fighters can be dispatched at the same time. And I have already arranged it. The fighters participating in this operation will all be the fifth generation. Fighters. The fourth-generation fighters are all attached to ground attack weapons. As long as our fighters gain air superiority, these fourth-generation fighters will all undertake ground attack tasks.” Natasha said.

“The soldiers are very fast. Twelve hours is too long. It is four o’clock in the afternoon. I only give the air force eight hours. After eight hours, I will have at least two hundred fifth-generation fighters available for use. The Polish fleet must have at least two wing fifth-generation fighters. Not only will I have to seize control of the Egyptian airspace, I will also launch a surprise attack on the NATO navy in the southeastern Mediterranean sea.”

Speaking of this, Li Lan’s eyes flashed coldly, and said with a bit of hostility: “Does NATO really think I can’t do anything with the Mediterranean navy? If it wasn’t for the range, I would have let them taste the great artillery. Don’t force me to build a cannon on the pyramid.”

“I understand, immediately notify the Air Force to expedite the work of stationing in Egypt.” Natasha nodded, immediately picked up the phone next to him, and explained Li Lan’s meaning.

When she put down the phone, Li Lan asked again: “Let the special forces brigade clear out the NATO special forces that infiltrated southern Egypt as soon as possible. I don’t want to continue to hear the news that NATO special forces are causing sabotage behind me.”

After leaving this sentence, Li Lan walked out of the console, and he was going to see someone.

On the first floor of the base, in Li Lan’s private reception room, Sisi has been waiting here for a few minutes.

However, Li Lan stepped into his office at the agreed time. The second one-on-one meeting between the two was unusually quiet.

Because at this moment, the two are already in the same camp, both glorious and glorious.To put it bluntly, no one can run away from two grasshoppers tied to a rope.

“President Li, the war has hurt Egypt. As the president of Egypt, I am ashamed!” As soon as he saw Li Lan, Sisi couldn’t help but complain.

“The damage caused by war is inevitable, and Egypt will have a better future in the future.” Li Lan simply comforted.

“You were right at the beginning. Egypt cannot avoid getting involved in the war. Now I just hope that this war can end soon, otherwise I really can’t give the people an explanation. They believe me, they chose me, I can’t give They bring too many disasters.” Sisi said bitterly.

Li Lan patted Sisi on the shoulder and said very seriously: “Trust me, the war in Africa will not last too long.”

“Hope!” Sisi nodded.Don’t say whether he believes Li Lan’s words now, because he has no reason not to believe it.He was tied to Somalia in Egypt, and he had no choice.

“Everything will be fine.” Li Lan didn’t know what to say.Only a pale comforting sentence, he went on to say: “I took you from Egypt, first for your safety, and secondly, I hope that you can better let the two armies fight together.”

“I understand that anyway, Egypt is already standing with Somalia. We will find a way to do what we need to do.” Sisi said.

“It’s true that I am already organizing a larger counter-offensive plan, if it goes well. The war that is stuck in Egypt at this moment can be ended soon. However, this plan also needs the help of the Egyptian army.” Li Lan said.

As soon as Sisi heard this, he immediately became interested. He was originally a lifelong military career. From the highest military officer to the president of Egypt, he was regarded as an outstanding military strategist.

“No problem, my army will definitely cooperate fully.”

“Well, I will give you the battle plan for the next stage at that time, and you will immediately mobilize troops to prepare according to the plan.”

…

At the same time.In the Andes of the United States, in the Supreme Command of the NATO Allied Forces.

It is undeniable that the war in Egypt has become the focus of the two military blocs, attracting all the attention of the top leaders of both sides.

Only in the Supreme Command of the NATO Allied Forces.The atmosphere has become very depressing a few days ago, and it has continued to this day.

Thousands of staff inside can feel the high-level dissatisfaction.

Every order is issued.Almost in the harshest tone, some generals.Just because of some minor problems, it was directly replaced.

Everyone knows the reason for such dissatisfaction.Before the start of the Egyptian offensive plan, everyone here was confident.

The first stage of the battle was indeed very satisfying. The NATO coalition forces took advantage of the sea and air for a short period of time to control Cairo in just over an hour.

The subsequent landing troops also supported Cairo with the highest efficiency. This was a good start.

However, this beginning did not last long, and the form of Cairo has undergone tremendous changes.

Just appointed as the commander of the Egyptian theater, he was beheaded by Somali special forces. The Egyptian vice president who was finally attracted was sniped at the gate of the TV station and became the laughing stock of the world.

Although the Supreme Command appointed the second commander of the Egyptian theater as quickly as possible, the fighting in Cairo has made the NATO coalition passive.

The offensive of the Somali army still maintained a sharp style, and it insisted on turning the attack on the coalition forces into a defensive state.

If it were not for the rapid arrival of follow-up reinforcements and finally stabilized the position, the NATO coalition forces had already been driven out of Egypt.

I thought that once again I had a firm foothold, using the convenient maritime transportation line, the coalition forces would soon regain the initiative.

But the result of the fact is that after nine days, the coalition forces of more than 200,000 troops are still unable to drive the Somali and Egyptian troops out of Cairo.

How did this satisfy the Supreme Command? We must know that for a modern war, a battle that lasted for nine days is an unacceptable thing.

But they also know very well that the reinforcements of the NATO coalition forces are not slow, but the enemy’s reinforcements are also very fast.

At present, the airports in Italy are all operating under high load, and they are still unable to seize air supremacy, which is really helpless.

This can’t be blamed on the soldiers for not working hard, but the strength of the opponent, far surpassing any opponent they have encountered in the past.

This war also gave NATO a taste of how difficult it is to fight a symmetrical war.

Asymmetric warfare is very cool, and the NATO coalition forces, who have never fought a tough battle, fully feel the difficulty of fighting a tough battle.

“The fighting in Egypt cannot continue. Although our maritime transportation is convenient, the speed of ground support in Somalia is not slow. I think we should open up more battlefields immediately and take advantage of our military strength to drag Somalia down. Concentrate on its fatal point and establish our advantage in one fell swoop.”

In the NATO Supreme Command, the highest military commanders from all countries gathered together. The highest military representative of France was the first to propose.

The Secretary of Defense of the United Kingdom also continued: “The current battle is more like a refueling tactic. Whether it is us or Somalia, we are consuming, Somalia is also consuming, Egypt is also related to the Suez Canal, I think even if it is opening up a new battlefield. Egypt cannot give up either. Absolute control over the Mediterranean cannot be lost.”

“Seconded.”

“Seconded.”

…

Others also agreed, and this proposal was passed quickly. Macedonia, the new chairman of the US Joint Council of Staff, said: “Everyone, it is imperative to open up a new battlefield. We have a strong force, but we cannot do it in Egypt. Unfold, you can’t let your troops look behind you in vain. At present, there are many new battlefield locations to choose from, one of which is the oil lifeline, and the other is the North African battlefield. Do you have any good suggestions.”

“North Africa is far from the Somali Commonwealth. North African countries have already been helping us build air bases. We must have more air forces in Africa, so as to facilitate the development of our air force’s numerical advantage.

On the Saudi side, oil is also very important. Although our oil reserves have been sufficient for a year of intense fighting, no one knows how long the war will last.I think we should start from two aspects at the same time, open up the third and fourth battlefields, and see how many troops Somalia has to deal with.”
