Chapter 443 Codename `Lightning`

"The Somali Civil War broke out again!"

"Multiple forces in Somalia unite to suppress dissidents!"

"The war of peaceful reunification of Somalia begins!"

... On the morning of October 12, the front page headlines of the world's major media reported the news of the outbreak of a new round of war in Somalia. Among them, the media with three attitudes: the neutral side, the resistance side and the Somali temporary ax axe side have described the war from different perspectives.

No matter what the purpose is, all countries are calling on both sides to peacefully resolve domestic conflicts and disputes through negotiation, but this sudden war began with the bombing of Baidoala by the Paramin Army's air force.

When Paraming's six MiG-23 fighters were fired at the elite troops of the Resistance Army stationed in Baidoa, the camp of the First Brigade of the Lahanwen Resistance Army fired more than 800 57mm rockets and left. The 'fast reaction force' that had been prepared to surround Baidoa in three directions received the order to attack at the same time.

The La Hanwen Resistance Army has a total of 5,000 armed soldiers. In the internal establishment of the Resistance Army, the 5,000 soldiers were divided into five brigades, each of which was divided into two regiments. There is no battalion level below the regiment, and the company level level is directly set up.

Previously, the troops of the 5 brigades of the Resistance Army, the 1st Brigade, have been stationed in Baidoa City, responsible for the security of the headquarters. The 2nd Brigade was originally stationed in the eastern city of Bulhabaka in Baidoa to guard the Mogadishu armed forces. However, after the battle between the Palamin Cooking Army and the Kenyan Political Axe Army exposed their strong combat effectiveness, the leadership of the Resistance Army immediately realized that the Paraming Cooking Army was more dangerous than the Mogadishu faction. When the 2nd Brigade was about to be dispatched to the southern city of Yagbravai near the state of Central Juba, the 4th Brigade of the Resistance Army originally stationed here was sent to Burhabaka City.

When the horn sounded at the beginning of the war, the Paraming cooking army, which had long been gathered in Sako City, Central Juba, acted immediately. The third infantry will serve as the fist of this army, first "smashing" to Yagbravaj, the 2nd Brigade of the Resistance Army; followed by the Fourth Infantry Regiment, which will stay after the Third Army destroys the enemy's main forces to complete the task of clearing the remaining armed forces. As the core of this team, the tank battalion went straight to Dinsol, the traffic town of Baidoa, blocking the resistance's westward escape route.

"Gather!" After a loud whistle, Luo Xiang accompanied Li Mo and shouted on the empty training ground.

In the eyes of the two people, in the surrounding woods, on the trees, on the roof of the barracks, a figure appeared at the same time. A quick soldier was neatly arranged in front of Li Mo in just 30 seconds. Each soldier was fully armed and disguised.

"Report Chairman, the first and second teams of the Meteor Commando have gathered, and there should be 21 people, and there should be 21 people. Please give instructions!" Luo Xiang solemnly reported to Li Mo.

Li Mo smiled calmly. The Meteor Commando is a world's top special force that he is fully built. Its comprehensive quality is not only in actual combat, but also the performance of the gathering just now proves that it is a special force with extremely high quality and strong combat effectiveness.

"A little rest!" With Li Mo's reply, 21 members of the meteor commandos, including Luo Xiang, immediately made a neat but positive and slight voice.

"In order to solve the enemy of the La Hanwen Resistance Army as soon as possible and prevent foreign forces from having time to intervene, I decided to carry out a special operation on the headquarters of the La Hanwen Resistance Army in Baidoa. Your task will be to directly land in Baidoa through helicopters and occupy its headquarters. The building and captured Gabiyu, the leader of the Lahanvin Resistance Army, and his important assistant DeRo. This is the first real special combat since the establishment of the Meteor Commando. I hope you will give full play to your individual and overall comprehensive combat effectiveness to be 'fast, fierce and accurate'. One blow must be hit, and withdraw from Baidoa immediately after completing the task. The detailed operation plan will be explained to you later by the commander of this operation, Luo Xiang, your captain. Here, I wish you can complete the task successfully!" Li Mo issued the order with a serious face.

"Invincible, I am the only one in the world!"

21 members of the Meteor Commando shouted out the slogan of the Meteor Commando, indicating their determination to win the battle.

"Very good! Now I command: 'Operation Lightning' begins!" Li Mo nodded with satisfaction, then restrained his smile and gave the order to start the action.

21 members of the Meteor Commando were ordered to immediately rush to the four meter 24 helicopters in the center of the training ground. Soon, under Li Mo's gaze, the four meter 24 flew slowly and finally disappeared into the sky.

Four meter 24 helicopters took off from the Meteor Commando Base. They will refuel at the temporary garrison of the Paramin Cooking Army in Sako City, Central Juba Province. The straight line distance from Camel Mountain Base to Baidoa is more than 300 kilometers. It is farther than the maximum combat radius of the Mi 24 helicopter gunship. In order to prevent accidents, in addition, the main role of the Mi24 helicopter gunship in this operation is not to attack, but to transport, so refuel and mount two auxiliary fuel tanks in Sako City can fully meet the requirements of transporting meteor commandos round-trip. The auxiliary fuel tank is mounted to use helicopters to support the meteor commandos when they are not good at attack.

At 9:23 a.m. on the 12th, four meter 24 helicopters had arrived ten kilometers west of Baidoa City. Even at such a long distance, the soldiers on the helicopter can still see the thick smoke from the southern suburbs of Baidoa. The commander of the operation frowned when he saw this scene. He knew that was the reason why the Air Force attacked here just now. This scene reminds him of a war film he had seen about an American operation in Somalia. Somali soldiers fighting against the U.S. military block the sight of the U.S. Air Force and helicopter formations by burning tires and other objects that emit thick smoke, and prevent them from supporting the ground at high altitudes. If you want to cross the thick smoke and see the following scene, you must lower the height of the helicopter, so that you must risk being attacked by the other party's rockets.

However, now there is one thing that is beneficial to the meteor commandos, that is, the smoke is rising in the south of Baidoa City. According to the intelligence, the headquarters of the Resistance Army is located in the North District of Baidoa City, and the east wind is about 2-3 outside at this moment. As long as you are careful, it will be fine.

After ponding for a while, Luo Xiang still decided to attack immediately.

"Please note, team members, please note, I'm Commander Luo Xiang. Because the thick smoke blocked the view, I decided to make some changes to the plan. The attack route of the original No. 3 helicopter changed to the second planned attack route, and the attack route of other helicopters remained unchanged. I repeat..."

"Wow..." A low and long air raid alarm sounded over Baidoa again.

Just after experiencing a chaotic Baidoa city, the citizens of Baidoa, who were still full of panic, once again let out a desperate scream and fled around.

"Guards... Guards, come on. What the hell is going on?" Gabyo, who was lingering, dressed neatly, was planning to see the losses suffered by the first brigade. Suddenly, I heard an air raid alarm in my ear. Is it possible that the Paraming Cooking Army Air Force fighter, which has just left, attacked again?

Isn't this bullying me for not being a fighter? Gabyo pulled open the collar of the military uniform he had just worn, revealing a pinch of black hair inside, and roared at the captain of the guard with red eyes.

"Report Chairman, according to the soldiers below, the enemy's helicopter appeared in the western sky and flew here. Chairman, you need to move to a safe place now. I'm afraid that the enemy will attack the headquarters!" The captain of the guard proposed in a nervous whisper.

"Do you want me to hide in that sultry basement again?" Gabyo thought of hiding for half an hour, which made his body sweaty. How can he, who is a little obsessed with cleanliness, accept to bear the disgusting feeling again?

"No, Chairman, I don't think you can stay at the headquarters. The enemy's helicopters are coming straight here. They seem to attack here. For your safety, I think you should go to the villa in the eastern suburbs." The captain of the guard explained solemnly. If the enemy's helicopters really destroy the headquarters building, then the basement is a grave. How can you hide in it?

Although the captain of the guard used a gentle tone as much as possible, 'safe transfer'. But Gabius still knew that it was to persuade him to run away. This made Gabyo both resentful and helpless. He knew that the captain of the escort was right. If he didn't leave, he might 'sacrifice' when the enemy's helicopter destroyed it. Thinking of the word 'sacrifice', Gabyo was going to say that he was not afraid of death, so he immediately shrank back. He deliberately pondered for a while and waved his hand, "For the sake of your persuasion, I'll go to the East Villa. Go and pass my order to DeRo, let him sit at the headquarters, and order the 2nd, 4th and 5th brigades not to fight with the enemy and return to Baidoa immediately. I'm going to fight to the death with the enemy here!"

When the four helicopters transporting the meteor commando arrived at the resistance headquarters, over a five-story white building, Gabyo had just got on the car in front of the headquarters building under the escort of a large number of guards.

This is the North District, and there is almost no smoke in the sky. The members of the meteor commandos on the helicopter immediately saw a large number of cars running slowly on the road in front of the target building.

"It's not good, they want to run away!" Luo Xiang was shocked. These people react too fast. If these people really let them run away, wouldn't this task be a failure? Seeing the car below, I knew that there was a big man sitting in a car inside. Maybe it was the main goal of this mission: Gabbyu.

"I ordered that the No. 2.3 helicopter immediately attack the car below with a cannon. The team members on the No. 4 helicopter were airborne on the top of the target building, and the No. 1 helicopter was temporarily on a guard mission. All the drivers' eyes are bright, don't let the enemy attack!" Luo Xiang decisively changed his plan again and directly issued a combat order.
