Red Alert Somalia

"Ahmed, how's the situation going." Looking at the red dot on the map, which was gradually advancing and was already very close to the city wall, Li Lan couldn't help picking up the radio walkie-talkie and asking Ahmed who was on the battlefield. Tao.

"Sir, the enemy has armored vehicles today, and our firepower has been canceled a lot. Now the enemy has attacked only fifty or sixty meters away from the city wall. But please rest assured, the commander, we will definitely guard the city wall and never let the enemy take a step closer. "On the radio, the sound of guns can be heard clearly, but Ahmed's answer is louder.

"Very good, good morale. There are not many wounded soldiers."

"A lot, but as long as it is soldiers who can't continue fighting, I have arranged them to the rear." Ahmed said.

"Yeah! Pay attention to safety. After half an hour, let the rested troops take over for defense, so you can take a break."

"Humble job understands."

After finishing the call with Ahmed, Li Lan's heart became heavier as he watched the red dots on the south side of the map did not decrease much.

The situation on the battlefield today is not optimistic. The enemy's armored vehicles have all come out. It seems that those forces are struggling to make ends meet.Moreover, the enemy's troops have been replenished, and the strength outside the base has not been reduced much.

And the Bosasso government forces have been silent all the time. This is what Li Lan worries most.Although the local forces are united and not weak, they cannot be compared with government forces.Even if Bosasso's government forces are not so good, it is not what Li Lan can fully contend now.

In front of him was a group of wolves and tigers who looked eagerly at the base, and behind them were government forces coveting the base. Li Lan was also incapable of doing things for a while.

Now all he can do is to work hard and try his best to keep the base, otherwise, let alone the task, his life will be hard to protect.

Seeing the enemy's offensive concentrated on the southern city wall, Li Lan kept thinking.

He is not very worried about the enemies who are currently concentrated outside. What he is most worried about is the government army. Once he and these forces suffer both losses, the government army will surely take advantage of the fire, and he will be unable to resist the government army.

The current situation must be changed to break this situation deliberately created by the government forces.

And before government forces begin to intervene, a stronger defense pattern must be re-established.

After identifying these two core issues, Li Lan once again set his sights on the map.

The base currently has not many powerful weapons. Weapons that can cause damage to armored vehicles, in addition to rpg, are sentry guns.However, it is impossible to build sentry cannons on the battlefield now, and as soon as the sentry cannons come out, they will become the key target of the opponent's rockets. As long as a few rpg rockets continuously hit, relying on the repair speed of the base, these defensive weapons cannot be kept at all.

Even a machine gun bunker with a high defense force cannot survive for long in such an environment.Now, the entire base has a few defensive weapons in front of the north and west city walls. The defensive weapons in the other two directions have all been dropped.

In the case of a more well-equipped government army without weapons such as sentry guns, the defense of the base will be greatly reduced.Even if the RPG is mass-produced regardless of the cost, there is no way to make up for the lack of defense.

A sentinel gun that can cover most of the battlefield is definitely much stronger than the individual weapons that mobilized soldiers have now.

Li Lan also thought about building another city wall behind the outermost city wall, and then placing the sentry cannon and machine gun bunker between the two city walls. After the first city wall fell, he would use a lot of explosives to move the outermost city wall. The wall of the city blew up, revealing the prepared sentry cannon and machine gun bunker, giving the enemy an instant and powerful blow.

But after thinking about it, this is definitely not the best way, because these sentry guns and machine gun bunkers can be used for too short a time. The powerful firepower can cause huge damage to the enemy, but it will also be quickly forced to shoot. And the bazooka.

This is only a drop in the bucket, and a lot of base funds will be wasted.A sentinel gun is 5,000 base funds, and a machine gun bunker is more expensive than a sentinel gun by 1,000 base funds. If you can’t use its firepower for a long time, it’s simply not worth the loss.

How to bring out the firepower of these two defensive units and how to make them stronger on the battlefield has become Li Lan's most headache now.

According to the battlefield conditions in these days, these defensive units were hidden from the enemy to about 400 meters and dropped with a rocket launcher.Because whether it is the opposite side or the mobilized soldiers, the most common rpg-7 in the rpg family is used. This forty-millimeter rocket launcher has an effective range of 800 meters, but only to 400 meters. It is the best range, and at this distance, there is accuracy at all.

On the other hand, sentry guns and machine gun bunkers, although the range is two or three kilometers away, the firepower is not very dense, the battlefield is very empty, the enemy is extremely scattered, and the ground is uneven. As long as the opponent avoids the cross fire point, the mortar Under the cover of, he can still approach 400 meters.

To prevent these two defensive weapons from being dismissed soon, these unfavorable factors must be changed.

After thinking for a long time, Li Lan also came up with the move to re-establish the line of defense.But the effect is not much better than it is now, nor can it effectively change the battlefield situation.

At this time, Li Lan accidentally saw the four-meter-thick city wall and couldn't help but ask: "Assistant, can construction units be built on the city wall?"

The original wall thickness was two meters, but because it was the outer city wall, Li Lan stuck the second city wall and the first city wall together very early, and now it has a four-meter thickness.Otherwise, it would rely on the two-meter-thick city wall, which would have already collapsed under the blow of the rocket launcher and mortar.Even the original gate was blocked by a large number of sandbags.

"As long as it is a flat place and a fixed location, enough to accommodate a unit-sized open space, it can be built."

Hearing the answer from his assistant, Li Lan was immediately overjoyed. The area of ​​the sentry cannon and the machine gun bunker is not very large, and the width of four meters is enough. Then only a short section of the city wall needs to be built and the width of the wall is widened, soldiers You can also walk on it smoothly.

Moreover, once the sentry gun is on the city wall, the battlements and sandbags will become its other shield. Although it still cannot defend the mortar shells that project ballistics, it can greatly weaken the threat of the rocket launcher.At that time, coupled with the firepower on the city wall and its coordination, the firepower density of the base defense will increase a lot.

Since it can be built on the city wall, Li Lan needs to add it up.

At present, the fighting is concentrated in the south. At this time, the city walls are inevitably full of potholes, full of craters of different sizes. The smallest is just a few centimeters in diameter, and the largest is one or two meters in diameter. The depth is also close to meters.

This six-kilometer-long city wall has become the main direction of the opponent's concentrated fire attack.If it weren't for the defense of the city wall, the thickness had reached four meters, and the opponent did not have a large-caliber siege artillery. This city wall had collapsed under gunfire.

With a length of six kilometers, it is impossible to have a sentry gun every tens of meters. After all, the cost of up to five thousand is not something that Li Lan can spend at will.

But in order to give full play to the firepower, it cannot be built too little.

The construction time of each sentry gun is two hours. Although this arrangement is to deal with the real enemy-the government army, it is impossible to wait for the master to come and build it.Something needs to be built in advance, and then wait for the Lord to come, and then slowly perfect it.

Furthermore, because it is located on the city wall and cannot achieve the lethality of a flat shot, the demand for cross firepower becomes very important.

Li Lan has never been to a military academy, and he doesn't know how to calculate the most reasonable firepower deployment, but he doesn't know, and that doesn't mean that others don't.

"Ahmed, I want to arrange machine gun bunker and sentry cannon on the city wall. How far apart do you think is the most appropriate." Li Lan is not a procrastinator, thinking of this, he immediately contacted Ahmed.

"Commander, the interval between two hundred meters and three hundred meters is fine." On the radio, the call was still the same, and Ahmed continued to answer with violent gasps, obviously very tired.

"Understood!" At the end of the interrupted conversation with Ahmed, Li Lan looked at the poor three-digit number above the monitor.

The way is to think of it, suffering from embarrassment.However, Li Lan was not in a hurry. He believed that it would take a long time before the government forces officially intervened. He would have time and funds to arrange new defenses.

And now he needs to establish dialogue with the leaders of the major forces outside.
