I have Shanhaijing

Chapter 116

The Somali Republic is located in the easternmost part of Africa, on the Somali Peninsula known as the "Horn of Africa".It borders Ethiopia and Kenya on the west, connects with Budgeti on the northwest corner, borders the Indian Ocean on the east, and borders the Gulf of Aden on the north.The area is 6 square kilometers, and the coastline is as long as 3 kilometers.

At this time, Kismayo, the home of the Puntland Guards in the southern part of the Somali Republic in Africa, is already busy.

The Puntland Group, as the earliest gang engaged in organized piracy in the Somali Sea, has the absolute right to speak in this area.

The Commander of the Strand Guards, Mohamed Muser Haiyu, was having breakfast when the Puntland Guards received word of the Free Somali Army's attack.According to inside information, the Somali government has already warned Muhammad because of the frequent attacks on rich Somali people recently, because Muhammad has been busy for two nights.Deploy manpower, unite defenses, and go to Mogadishu, the capital of Somali, to prove your innocence.

Although the Puntland Guard is an independent pirate gang in name, and it was the first gang established in Somali, but only Muhammad knew that without the secret support of those above him, he would not be where he is today. There will be no development in the future.Now is the time when I plan to expand my territory, and I must not let the people above doubt me. If that is the case, then I will know my future without thinking about it.

At this time, he and his staff had just finished reading the report, and personally ordered that they must investigate who did it, and even reached out to his own people.

At this time, the guard was pouring table wine into the wine glass, and the adjutant trotted into the restaurant, holding a red envelope in his hand.Muhammad glanced at him, picked up the cutlery, "Read it!"

"Good Commander." The adjutant wiped off the sweat from his head, and took out the letter with slightly trembling hands, "The third battalion and the third team reported: On the evening of December 21, the Somali Freedom Army crossed Lower Shabelle State in two directions. At the same time, they sneaked into our territory. By the morning of the [-]th, Yida Delai had missed, the line of defense collapsed, and the Seventh Battalion had retreated to Sabu Town."

Muhammad put down the tableware with a face full of surprise. Before he recovered, his adjutant had already taken out the second red envelope.

"Starting on the [-]th, the Seventh Battalion launched a full-line counterattack. In the afternoon, it came into direct contact with the enemy's left wing and lost the battle; on the evening of the [-]th, it had a fierce battle with the enemy...and lost." The adjutant paused, "The Somali Free Army is extremely fast. Occupying most of the mines in the northern part of the defense line, most of the first and second line troops have lost contact, and the defense line has retreated..."

"All fall?" Muhammad stood up suddenly, and reprimanded loudly, "The town of Sabu is four hundred miles away from Yida Delai, a full four hundred miles! Marching in the wild, fighting fiercely all the way, the enemy army only took two days Time!? They are humans, they are not gods, where did they come from this speed? Do you want to eat? Do you want to sleep? Are our men resisting!"

The adjutant shut his mouth obediently, not daring to speak any more.At this time, all the senior officials of the military department heard that there was an emergency report coming from the front, and rushed out of Muhammad's room one after another.

In a rage, Muhammad overturned the table, smashed the antique vase, and slapped the attendant twice before going out.In the hall, two rows of subordinates stood against the wall, arranged according to the size of the official position, staring down at the carpet in front of them.

Muhammad walked up and down under the eyes of the officers, and suddenly stopped, "Deputy Commander."

"To!"

"You go in person, lead the fourth battalion to set off as soon as possible, and support the third battalion to prevent the enemy's sneak attack." Muhammad pondered for a moment, "herald!"

"To!"

"Immediately pass down the order. The third battalion must try its best to hold back the enemy, as long as it can hold off. Another one, try to contact the enemy's rear troops and let them harass and attack from the rear." Muhammad's fierce eyes flicked across the faces of his subordinates, " The enemy troops are divided into two groups, they want to join forces in Buale and order the surrounding troops to rush to Sabu Town as soon as possible to help defend!"

"Yes!" The herald moved his pen like flying, and the tip of the pen rustled across the paper.

"Everyone, Melka (due to Long Wentian's strict secrecy measures, others don't know that the Somali Free Army has changed its master), that lunatic, he unexpectedly attacked our army, but after two days of fighting, they are already a tired army. How many people are there in total, and how many people are left after the battle?" As a veteran pirate, Muhammad knows this area well, and he already knows the tactics that the enemy can use, "So our tactic is to mobilize the first Fourth and Fifth Battalions, take advantage of the fact that the enemy army has not joined forces, and attack each of them!"

"Good morning, Commander!"

"The Somali Free Army started to attack in the early morning of the 13th. Today is No. [-]. They fought for two days and one night, and the supplies they carried with them should have run out." Muhammad snorted coldly, "And we are waiting for work, using two battalions of troops Encircle and annihilate a battalion of enemies, there is no reason not to win. Everyone immediately return to the camp to mobilize troops and set off tomorrow. These unruly bastards... I will kick them mercilessly and let them know that we are the real here master!"

All the officers responded and rushed to their posts, and orders were sent out immediately.

All the garrisons along the entire route from Kismayo to Bouale are busy. It has to be said that the Puntland Guard, as a veteran pirate, already has the prototype of an army, and can still play its role as a veteran pirate when facing the enemy. unique role.

Under the leadership of Opel Muhammad, the team that had just assembled set off along the newly built road in a mighty manner, forming an inverted triangle formation, step by step, and first firmly blocked the enemy's offensive line Go up, and then slowly meet up.

Opel Muhammad sits at the headquarters, holding his pet dog, waiting for the Somali Free Army to deliver to his door.

Lower Shabelle State has been a land of many disasters since ancient times. The Shetbury River flows through here. Because of disrepair, the dams on both sides of the river have already collapsed. The people on the plains on both sides of the river are living in poverty for various reasons. Frozen and starved to death.

Opel Muhammad has seen exactly this, so he intends to look for a fighter here.If the Free Somalia Army surrounds the city of Opei, they will cut off several surrounding roads, and block the passage from Garbahare to their old nest, Skimayo, so that their own supplies and sources of firearms will be difficult. .

On the night of the [-]th, the Free Somali Army came into contact with the forward reconnaissance unit of the Strand Guard. Only one of the [-] reconnaissance units of the Strand Guard escaped, but it also brought back important news that the Free Somali Army had rushed forward on the left.At the order of Opel Muhammad, the first battalion and the second battalion joined forces and quickly advanced to the enemy's left.At the same time, the Fifth Battalion was ordered to move forward, to take the responsibility of blocking, and to defend against reinforcements from the enemy's right.

On the morning of the [-]th, the Somali Freedom Army noticed something strange on the left side and began to move closer to the friendly forces on the right side. The first and second corps of the Strand Guards pursued closely.At noon, the Somali Free Army hurriedly retreated, intending to cross the Shetbeli River again.The Strand Guard marched forward with singing and vowed to wipe out the enemy on the banks of the Shetbury River...

On the evening of the 600th, the [-]th Battalion of the Strand Guards, which was in charge of blocking the task, came into contact with the enemy's right flank, fought hard for an hour, but was defeated by the Somali Free Army.Hundreds of scattered soldiers ran for their lives like chickens without their heads, but were hunted down by the Somali Free Army's reconnaissance team. Of the [-] pirate soldiers, only more than [-] escaped in the end.

It was also at this time that Opel Mohammed realized that he had been fooled, and the left side of the Somali Free Army did not exist at all.The ones who have been running with me all day are just a small army...

Opel Muhammad immediately withdrew his troops, moved closer to Bualai, and joined the troops who came to aid him on the way.In the early morning of the [-]th, he encountered the main force of the real Somali Freedom Army.

The first battalion in the front was attacked first, and the [-] vanguards fell into a sea of ​​flames. The Somali Free Army doused the dry grass in winter with gasoline.

Immediately afterwards, the third battalion at the back of the palace was attacked by the Somali Free Army squad. The poor soldiers who had been maimed in the last battle had turned into corpses after an hour...

While Opel Muhammad was hesitating, the established Somali Free Army appeared, and the nearly dead reconnaissance team sent back a message at the last moment, and the Strand guards reluctantly formed a defensive formation.But Opie Muhammad obviously overestimated the combat effectiveness of his troops...or, he underestimated the Somali Free Army army.

Following the first ray of sunlight, a blackness appeared on the vast plain, and in a blink of an eye, this blackness diffused in the field of vision of the Welsh soldiers. Front, left, and right seemed to be rushing endlessly. Black raging waves roared towards the Strand Guard from a distance.

In the Strand Guard, the sound of the enemy's alarm came one after another, and the officers were at a loss because they didn't know the main direction of the enemy's attack!

The Somali Free Army unfurled its flag for the first time, and the blood-red battle flag fluttered in the wind.Units of troops rushed forward, rubber tires trampled on the yellow weeds, and rifles reflected cold light.Gradually approaching, on the flag, the handwriting of "Somali Free Army" was clearly seen by the Welsh soldiers!

Before the defensive team in front had time to show their power, they were beaten to pieces by a powerful squad. The only mobile unit of the Strand Guard went up to meet them, but they were caught by the group of rags that they learned after the fact. The Shanhaimeng team suffered heavy casualties. "Protect the Commander!" Just as the guard company escorted Muhammad back, the Free Somali Army under the cover of machine guns cut into the Strand Guard formation...

The killing sound is shocking.

At the moment when the two armies came into contact, the Shanhaimeng team rushing to the front flicked left and right like ghosts, making Strand's defenders unable to find the target at all, so they had to shoot randomly. I don't know what danger is at all, and always choose the most incredible route to advance in the most unlikely situation. Soon, these weapons are various, and some people even use ordinary military stabs and big knives. They have already invaded the entire line of defense.

Although the weapons are worse than those of the Somali Free Army, it is obvious that the soldiers of the Strand Guards are not as well-trained as the Somali Free Army. However, the Strand Guards have high morale and tenacious resistance because of their natural banditry and defense of their territory.After all, most of these soldiers are natives of Upper, Middle and Lower Juba states.

Machine guns, grenades, bayonets, whatever you have in your hands, those who lose their weapons, stumble their legs, put their eyes in, and at worst use their flesh and blood to block knives for their comrades...

However, the Somali Free Army soldiers who rushed into the enemy's formation were killing machines one after another. Their flexible bodies provided them with strict protection.It is often the most improbable situation in which a bullet or one's own weapon is pierced into the enemy's body.

Soldiers from both sides engaged in a bloody battle on the vast plain. Under the command of Opel Muhammad, the Strand Guard even had a counterattack, but because of the loss of strategic depth, the attack quickly failed.

An hour later, the strength of the Strand Guard failed, and the left flank collapsed.Muhammad still wanted to stabilize his position, but because many soldiers who were newly recruited or transferred from various places in this counterattack were used in this counterattack, the morale of the inflation began to decline.When the Somali Free Army broke into the right wing with a thunderbolt, the morale of the army was shaken...

It was also at this time that the commander-in-chief of the Somali Free Army lightly raised his right hand, pointing towards the enemy's central camp, and issued a general attack order...

The sun high overhead witnessed the battle, and the fertile soil of the Shetbury Valley drank its blood.

In this battle, the Strand Guard was defeated, and the strength of the four battalions was less than a thousand. The Strand Guard used thousands of lives to create the reputation of the Somali Free Army this time.A name stained red with blood resounds throughout the Somali Republic.

The Free Somali Army is no longer the weak, sparsely staffed, and low-quality Somali Free Army!
