Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    A full week has passed since the war in Egypt. Both sides have increased their troops to 200,000, which has almost reached the saturation limit. Now the fighting is not limited to Cairo.  ¡ó¡ý From Cairo to Alexandria and the Mediterranean front line, there are battlefields everywhere. Special forces from both sides have penetrated behind to carry out special operations against supply and support troops.  Fighting is spreading everywhere. The Nile River, the birthplace of Egyptian civilization, is also the concentration point of Egypt's population. Now, fighting has spread around the entire Nile River.  A large number of NATO special forces have penetrated into every corner of the Nile River to attack the river transportation and supply lines of Somali logistics forces.  On the contrary, Somali special forces also quickly penetrated into the Mediterranean coastline and vigorously destroyed supplies arriving from the Mediterranean.  On the frontal battlefield, the forces of both sides have reached saturation. Fighting is breaking out in every city north of Cairo, and reinforcements are flowing in from both sides.  The most lively one is the Air Force. According to incomplete statistics, in the ten-day battle, both sides have lost more than 500 fighter jets over Egypt. However, both Somalia and NATO are still thinking hard.  To seize air supremacy.  The whole of Italy has become a bridgehead for NATO fighter jets heading to Egypt, with thousands of fighter jets taking off and landing every day, because unless they have a huge numerical advantage, they simply cannot stop the attack of Somali fighter jets.  The ground is already riddled with holes. A large number of residential areas in the city have been reduced to ruins. Many streets are no longer as clean as they used to be, and craters can be seen everywhere.  And the gunfire ringing in the ears.  It has been nine days since the war in Egypt broke out.  At least tens of thousands of people were killed on both sides, and thousands of pieces of equipment were lost.  But still no one chose to back down.  Logistics supplies are still being sent to the front lines in a steady stream.  In the base, Li Lan has been very busy every day this week. He did not go out to command the troops to fight, but was busy with another job, building defensive weapons.  There is only one type of construction, sentry guns. Build a large number of sentry guns.  Thirteen sub-base vehicles are constantly building sentry guns in just nine days.  He had built a dense network of sentry guns north of Cairo.  This is his first attempt to build defensive weapons onto the battlefield. It can also be done easily by taking advantage of game bugs in the game.  Back then, Li Lan¡¯s favorite thing was to build giant cannons around other people¡¯s bases or minerals to attack the opponent¡¯s 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 defensive weapons can be built in Egypt.  And he does this all the time, just this time.  Instead of building anti-aircraft weapons, he chose all sentry guns.  Li Lan is very familiar with the sentry gun. When he first had the base, he could build this weapon.  The twin-mounted 30mm rapid-fire cannon has super lethality at a straight-line distance, with a powerful straight-line killing range of three thousand meters.  The effective killing distance is five thousand meters.  As a defensive weapon, such a weapon does not require manual operation.  No ammo resupply is required, 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 abroad and can only carry out passive defense within the scope of sovereignty.  Li Lan deeply regrets this.  Now he can make up for his regrets. The battle in Egypt has entered a stalemate, which 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 quickly had a plan. The current front line of the battle could not be changed. Since the distance between Egypt and Italy was not far, it was difficult for the air force to gain an advantage as soon as possible.  It¡¯s not like he didn¡¯t send fighter planes to Italy to attack deep airports in Italy, but the effect has never been very good, and NATO¡¯s sneak attack fighter planes also failed.  Soon both sides gave up this sneak attack, and various electromagnetic weapons were also tried. The silent battle of electronic warfare against the troops never stopped.  Various new tactics were difficult to achieve, so Li Lan immediately thought of the possibility of using 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 effect, it is extremely cost-effective.  This idea soon became firm. All defensive weapons in the thirteen sub-bases were stopped, and a large number of sentry guns were put on the priority list of the construction list.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­The tunnel will also cause damage to one's own soldiers and equipment.  Therefore, the choice of construction location requires careful planning.  In order to prevent accidental damage to his own troops, Li Lan chose to build all the sentry guns near the heavy concentration of NATO troops, and also made careful designs to prevent the sentry guns from attacking other sentry guns.  Wanting to use the sentry cannon as a surprise weapon, he had to shut down all the defense mechanisms of the base, shut down all defensive weapons, and then chose to build the sentry cannon in a stealth way.  After many days of hard work, he kept building sentry guns. A large number of sentry guns were spread all over the streets and coastal lines of various cities west of Cairo.  ¡°He wants to give NATO a big surprise, and he will spare no effort in building it.  The construction of sentry guns did not take long, and soon a large number of sentry guns were hidden under the feet of NATO soldiers.  As of today, thousands of sentry guns have been deployed throughout the north of Egypt. Nine days have already reached the limit of thirteen base vehicles.  As long as the resting state of the defensive weapons is released, these sentry guns will suddenly activate under the base's identification of friend or foe.  On the tenth day, Li Lan was still just building the sentry cannon, and had not yet planned to release the resting state of the defensive weapons.  The reason is simple. What he needs is to seize the advantage of the war, not just to kill the opponent.  Although the sentry gun has good attack power.  But there was no way to help him win the war.  And the fixed and immovable sentry guns can only be effective for a short period of time at most.  It will be destroyed soon.  Even if he turns on the full maintenance state, he can't stop NATO's counterattack.  Use sentry guns.  It is just to change the situation of this war and give our side an advantage.  Sentry guns alone won't do this, the focus is on air superiority.  In modern warfare, only by seizing air supremacy can we take advantage of the war. Currently, neither side is able to obtain air supremacy, which is also the main reason why the ground war has entered a stalemate.  If air superiority can be obtained for a certain period of time, the ground force's attack will become very smooth with the support of the air force, and it can cooperate with the attack effect of the sentry gun.  Reversing the difficult situation of advancing and retreating in the ground war.  However, if air superiority could be obtained so quickly, he would not wait until now.  The number of NATO fighter jets has always been about twice that of Somali fighter jets. The quality advantage is evened out by quantity.  If you want to gain air superiority, you must attack with the same number of fighter planes within a certain period of time, so that you can break the air superiority defense formed by NATO in northern Egypt.  After putting the last set of sentry guns on the construction list, Li Lan asked Natasha, who was always by his side: "How is the construction of temporary airports in Egypt going?" "There are already three temporary airports in Egypt.  After the construction of the airport was completed, the four air force command centers built by the commander could also take off and land fighter aircraft. An hour ago, the two Apollo fighter wings of the First Air Division had all been stationed in other planned air force command centers in Egypt.  Fighters will all be stationed at Egypt's air force bases and temporary airports in the next twelve hours," Natasha replied immediately.  "How many fighter planes can we take off directly from Egypt by then?" Li Lan asked again.  "There is no problem with two hundred fighter jets taking off at the same time. In conjunction with the fighter jets taking off from Eritrea, four hundred fighter jets can be dispatched at the same time. And I have already made arrangements. All the fighter jets participating in this operation will be fifth-generation  Fighters. All fourth-generation fighters are equipped with ground attack weapons. As long as our fighters gain air superiority, these fourth-generation fighters will all undertake ground attack missions," Natasha said.  "Soldiers are very fast. Twelve hours is too long. It is now 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. Second  The Polish aircraft fleet must have at least two wings of fifth-generation fighters. Not only do I want to seize control of Egypt's airspace, but I also want to launch a surprise attack on the NATO navy in the southeastern Mediterranean Sea. " Speaking of this, Li Lan's eyes flashed with coldness.  He said with a bit of anger: "Does NATO really think that I can't do anything to defeat the navy in the Mediterranean? If it weren't for the insufficient range, I would have given them a taste of the power of the giant cannon. Don't force me to build a giant cannon on top of the pyramid."  "I understand. Immediately notify the Air Force to speed up the work of entering Egypt." Natasha nodded, immediately picked up the phone next to her, and explained Li Lan's intention.  When she put down the phone, Li Lan asked again: "Let the special operations brigade eliminate those NATO special forces that have penetrated into southern Egypt as soon as possible. I don't want to continue to hear about the NATO special forces behind me."News of the sabotage was revealed.  " After leaving these words, Li Lan walked out of the console. He was going to see someone. On the first floor of the base, in Li Lan's private reception room, Sisi had been waiting here for several minutes. And Li Lan  Walking 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 of them were already in the same camp, and they both prospered and fell.  To put it bluntly, they are two grasshoppers tied on a rope. No one can escape. "President Li, the war has harmed Egypt. As the president of Egypt, I am ashamed!"  "As soon as he saw Li Lan, Sisi couldn't help complaining. "The damage caused by the war is inevitable, and Egypt will have a better future in the future.  "Li Lan simply comforted. "You were right at the beginning. Egypt will inevitably be involved in the war. Now I just hope that this war can end soon, otherwise I really can't give an explanation to the people.  They believed in me and chose me. I couldn't bring them too many disasters.  "Sisi said with a grimace. Li Lan patted Sisi on the shoulder and said very seriously: "Believe me, the war in Africa will not last too long.  " "I hope so!  "Sisi nodded. Don't tell me whether he believes Li Lan's words now, because he has no reason not to believe it. He is tied to Somalia by Egypt and has no choice. "Everything will be fine.  "Li Lan didn't know what to say. He could only give a pale comfort, and then said: "I took you from Egypt, first of all, for your safety, and secondly, I hope that you can better enable the two armies to jointly fight.  .  " "I understand. Anyway, Egypt has now stood with Somalia. Whatever we need to do, we will find a way to do it.  "Sisi said. "To be honest, I am already organizing a larger counterattack plan, if it goes well.  The current stalemate war in Egypt can be quickly ended.  However, this plan also requires the help of the Egyptian army.  "Li Lan said. When Sisi heard this, he immediately became interested. He has a lifelong military career. From Egypt's top military commander to the president, he can be regarded as an outstanding military strategist. "No problem, my army will definitely go all out.  Cooperate.  " "Okay, I will hand over the next phase of the battle plan to you when the time comes, and you can immediately mobilize your troops according to the plan and get ready.  "  At the same time. In the Andes Mountains of the United States, inside the Supreme Headquarters of the NATO Allied Forces. It is undeniable that the war in Egypt has become the focus of the two military groups, attracting the attention of all the top leaders of both parties. But inside the Supreme Headquarters of the NATO Allied Forces. The atmosphere has been  It became very depressed a few days ago, and it continues to this day. The thousands of staff inside can feel the very dissatisfied attitude of the top management. Almost every order is issued in the most severe tone.  , some generals were directly replaced because of some minor problems. Everyone knew the reason for this dissatisfaction. Everyone here was full of confidence before the Egyptian offensive plan started.  The first stage was indeed very satisfying. The NATO coalition took advantage of the short-term sea and air superiority 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 start did not last long before the situation in Cairo changed dramatically. The Egyptian vice president, who had just been appointed as the commander of the Egyptian war zone, was beheaded by the Somali special forces and was finally won over.  He was sniped at the gate of the TV station and became the laughingstock of the world. Although the Supreme Command appointed the second Egyptian theater commander as quickly as possible, the war in Cairo has made the NATO coalition's offensive still passive.  Maintaining a sharp style, the NATO coalition forces in the Middle East were put into a defensive state. If the follow-up reinforcements had not arrived quickly and finally stabilized their position, the NATO coalition forces would have been driven out of Egypt.  By taking advantage of the convenient sea transportation lines, the coalition forces will soon regain the initiative. But the fact is that it has been nine days, and the coalition forces of more than 200,000 troops are still unable to drive the Somali army and the Egyptian army out of Cairo.  How does this satisfy the high command? You know, for a modern war, a battle that lasted for nine days is an unacceptable thing. But they also know very well that NATOThe army's reinforcements are not slow, but the enemy's reinforcements are also very fast.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  This can¡¯t be blamed for the soldiers not working hard, but the opponent¡¯s strength far exceeds any opponent they have encountered before.  This war also gave NATO a taste of how difficult it is to fight a symmetrical war for the first time.  Asymmetric war is very exciting to fight, allowing the NATO coalition forces who have never fought a tough battle to fully feel the difficulty of fighting a tough battle.  "The fighting in Egypt cannot continue. Although our sea transportation is convenient, Somalia's ground support is not slow. I think we should open up more battlefields immediately and use our military superiority to bring down Somalia.  Concentrate our efforts to attack its fatal point and establish our advantage in one fell swoop.¡± In the NATO Supreme Command, the top military commanders from various countries gathered together, and the top military representative of France was the first to propose.  The British Defense Secretary also went on to say: "The current battle is more like a refueling tactic. Whether it is us or Somalia, we are consuming, Somalia is also consuming, and Egypt is related to the Suez Canal. I think even if it opens up a new battlefield  , Egypt cannot give up. Absolute control of the Mediterranean cannot be lost. " " Seconded. " " Seconded. " Others also seconded the proposal, and the new chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Macedonia, spoke.  Said: "Everyone, it is imperative to open up a new battlefield. We have strong troops, but we cannot deploy them in Egypt. We cannot let our troops watch from behind in vain. Currently, there are many new battlefield locations to choose from.  One of them is the oil lifeline, and the other is the North African battlefield. Do you have any good suggestions? " "North Africa is far away from the Somali Federation. North African countries have already been helping us build air force bases. We must have more air forces in Africa.  Strength, this is conducive to the expansion of our air force's numerical advantage. On the Saudi side, oil is also very critical. Although our oil reserves have been sufficient for a year of high-intensity fighting, no one knows how long the war will last.  Start from both sides at the same time, open up the third and fourth battlefields, and see how many troops Somalia has to deal with it."
