Chapter 778 Exercise is not the end

On June 24, 2008, there is no important day in the world, but in Somalia, this day is an extraordinary day.

On this day, the joint anti-landing exercise of the Somali armed forces was held on a coast 30 kilometers east of Marca, Lower Shebelli, on a coast that is extremely suitable for landing operations.

The joint anti-landing exercise of the three armed forces was jointly organized by the General Staff of Somalia, the Air Force Command, the Naval Command and some troops in the Capital Military Region. It took more than three months from planning to implementation, and the size of the exercise force was about 4,000. The commander-in-chief of the exercise was Brigadier General Gedi, the commander of the Navy.

Inland, about 15 kilometers away from the coastline, a place under martial law is the location of the exercise headquarters. The commanders of various departments and important military officers gathered together. Major General Li Mo, deputy commander-in-chief of the Somali armed forces, also came to the scene in person and watched the whole process of the exercise.

The exercise is divided into Army A and Army C, of which Army A represents the Somali army, while Army C represents the invading landing force.

When the exercise began, the order of Brigadier General Gedi, the commander-in-chief, was immediately transmitted to each unit participating in the exercise through the telephone, representing the four missile boats of the C Army and a large number of landing ships rushed to the landing site under the cover of the air force.

The location of Army A is within 10 kilometers of the coastline, including 2,000 army soldiers and a small number of air forces, ground air defense forces and ground radar systems. At the beginning of the exercise, Army C fired more than a dozen cruise missiles at Army A's defense line through a fleet 100 kilometers away from the coastline. Although Army A's ground air defense force tried its best to intercept it, it intercepted less than one-tenth of the incoming missiles because of the small number of air defense forces and the previous battles. With the sound of the ground explosion sound device, many defense lines and fortifications were destroyed. Before the enemy landed, the defending Army A lost one-tenth of its defense facilities and personnel.

Four C- Army fighters rushed out of the clouds and entered the Somali mainland under the command of Sky Early Warning Aircraft. Army A received radar instructions, and the fighters took off urgently to intercept the invading fighters.

Because of the gap between the two sides in terms of pilot quality, fighter surname ability and early warning aircraft information support, the first round of air battle ended at 2:1. Army A lost two fighters and shot down only one enemy aircraft.

On the first day, the trial attack was over, and soon it was the second day. The commander of Army A believed that the attack of Army C would be strengthened today, but it would not be too big, so the valuable anti-aircraft missile force was still not used and hidden in a secret stronghold, and the invasion of enemy aircraft was to send their own aircraft to expel and stop as much as possible. Because of yesterday's loss, the commander of Army A seemed to be more cautious. In case, he was unwilling to fight with the enemy.

On this day, the air force of Army A was not lost, and the anti-aircraft missile force was not exposed. However, due to the temporary loss of air s control, the ground forces experienced the attack of the other side's sea and air missiles. One-tenth of the casualties were again, and morale plummeted. That evening, the C Army conducted an exploratory landing operation. Many landing boats, escorted by aerial fighters and helicopters, tried to land on the coast. The commander of Army A hesitated for a long time and decided to send all his fighters to expel local aircraft and create a short-term 'no threat in the air' for the ground troops...

The third day...

After the exercise, the huge command tribe could be heard. All the officers looked gloomy, and the anti-landing operation failed. After the A army lost half of the personnel, the commander of the A army had to give an order to retreat 30 kilometers, and the C army paid a certain price and a large number of missile bombs. , successfully established a position in the probe and mastered the air sizing power on the battlefield.

It can be said that at the beginning of this exercise, the enemy was extremely powerful, with the advantage of the air force and the support of the navy. In contrast, although the soldiers' fighting spirit was very strong, in the face of modern steel explosives, the spirit only delayed for a period of time, and finally failed.

In this exercise, the power to determine the surname lies in the Air Force. The air force pilots on their own side are also afraid of death, but the surname of the aircraft itself and the quality of the pilots are slightly weaker, and the other party also has the 'air combat brain' of the early warning aircraft, which can easily command the local aircraft as a whole, while the other side relies entirely on a cavity of blood and combat experience, the most The result is self-evident.

"Do you know where the gap is?" Li Mo looked at the officers all over the room with a calm face and asked.

This exercise is not for the purpose of the exercise. Li Mo ordered from the beginning that the real name of the exercise must be guaranteed. All the details should be compared with the strength of the enemy and us. It is impossible to maintain the balance the strength of the two sides or even reduce the strength of the enemy.

Because in a real war, it is impossible for the enemy to send troops with similar combat effectiveness to attack. It is not a fair contest, but a stupid act. Since the enemy dares to invade Somalia and landed at the doorstep, how can it artificially reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness?

Secondly, Li Mo felt that after several wars, there were some bad signs in the National Defense Force, and many officers were a little arrogant. In particular, the National Defense Force is a young army. Whether it is the time of the army or the officers and soldiers, they are very young. Young people, even officers, are easily influenced or even sunk by some illusory 'famous'. Li Mo wants to make these people realize the gap with the powerful countries through this exercise.

In the end, it is not without any selfishness. In this exercise, everyone can see that the role of the air force in it is too obvious, although in actual combat, the role of the air force is also very important. What Li Mo wants is the idea of unifying the army, so that everyone knows and agrees with his 'Great Air Force' plan.

No one dared not to answer Commander Li's question, and his opinions were expressed one after another. There is a big gap between the size of the air force and the ability of the aircraft, and even the problems of the ground forces. However, the answers are basically middle-level officers. These people are the backbone of the army, but they don't know much about the ideas of the senior management. They completely analyze the problem from their own perspective.

Li Mo is very gratified at this point. Whether everyone is right or wrong, it is important to use your brain, and you will be a qualified commander in the future.

"Although we failed, we were not discouraged. After all, the enemy's strength is very strong, and our strength is still very weak. If we defeat the enemy easily, it is really a joke. The exercise is not the purpose, but the purpose is to find and solve problems. I hope that each of you can see the gap between yourself and the enemy from this exercise, see your own problems, and propose adjustment and training for surnames, and gradually make up for your own problems. The most important thing is to narrow the gap between the enemy and us. " Li Mo said this and left directly under the protection of the guard.

Although this exercise was expected by Li Mo, there were still many things that surprised Li Mo. A failure reminded not only military officers at all levels, but also Li Mo himself.

Its own power is still very weak, and it still needs to continue to be immersed in development. Somalia has also gained a lot of international limelight in the past year, and it is time to stay dormant again for a period of time.

"Tang Ya, do you think this exercise is successful?" Sitting in the car back to Mogadishu, Li Mo suddenly asked.

She is also a beautiful teacher in a Somali female military uniform and Fan Qingqing like a pair of sisters. She was biting her ear and muttering with Fan Qingqing. Suddenly, when she heard Li Mo's question, she couldn't help staring at her blushing.

"Ah, what did you say?" Then she reacted and asked quickly.

Now it's Li Mo's turn to wonder what the two women are muttering. They didn't even hear what they said. In addition, why did the beautiful teacher, who had never given herself a good look, blushed?

"I ask you which day you will return to China!" Li Mo rolled his eyes and said that he asked casually what he had just said. Since the other party was not quite clear, Li Mo was not going to ask.

"return to China? When did I say I was going back to China? Tang Ya asked in surprise, then grabbed Fan Qingqing's little hand and said delicately, "My future workplace will be in Africa, and I may live in Qingqing for a long time."

"No way, do you still live here?" Li Mo stared and asked. During this period, because of Tang Ya's existence, he didn't have time to be intimate with Fan Qingqing. The only time he was in the lounge of the office. I think he is an energetic young man. In the face of a young woman like Fan Qingqing who is moistened and developed, how can he stand it? If he hadn't returned to the family home of the General Staff every night these days, he wouldn't know how to live.

"Of course, Qingqing and I haven't met for more than a year, and I can't finish what I want to say in a few months." When Tang Ya saw Li Mo's depressed expression, she immediately felt refreshed. She was so proud that she let the Buddha eat iced watermelon.

And Fan Qingqing covered her mouth and smiled secretly. She knew best what the reason for Li Mo was depressed. Although she was a little distressed, she didn't know that there were too many bad men and women. It was impossible for the old man to occupy him. I'm afraid that other women have been dissatisfied with her for a long time. This time, she took the opportunity to ask Li Moduo to comfort those women. People.

Li Mo didn't say anything and sent the two women to the villa. He drove the guards away and drove to the seaside castle alone.

Looking at the castle from afar, Li Mo's heart became hot again. He didn't stay here, but had his own place.

Tina, the beautiful British housekeeper, saw Li Mo and was immediately ready to meet him, but Li Mo waved her hand to leave him alone.

This time is the time when the four women are away. Time is very precious. He doesn't have time to talk to the housekeeper. When he enters the castle, he goes straight to the second floor.
