Chapter 1370 Strategic Direction

Donetsk suddenly announced the establishment of a country, prompting buyers who were holding currency and sellers with resources to make decisions as soon as possible. So Selin and others decided to agree to Gao Yang's conditions, and then Gao Yang was forced to buy in a very short time. After landing five transport planes, because the transaction was a bit hasty, there was no place to put the transport plane he bought, so Gao Yang decided to capture Berbera as soon as possible so that he could take off, land and store the planes.

A few people in Donetsk just announced to the camera that they wanted to establish a country. As a result, a new war was about to break out in Somalia, thousands of miles away. What is the butterfly effect? This is.

Berbera is very important to the whole of Satan, but the Skull Gang's progress is very slow. Although more than forty mercenaries have been recruited to prepare, the situation in Somalia will ultimately be controlled by the Skull Gang. Perhaps Berbera was too difficult to defeat, or perhaps Ma'id decided that Berbera was not worth investing all his forces in.

Gao Yang began to think about how to capture Berbera. Berbera played a great role in Satan. Although the most urgent need was to use it as a storage place and airport for supplies, in the long run, Berbera's main role was As a foothold and bridgehead for Satan's intervention in Yemen, and for now, there is no other place that can replace Berbera.

Gao Yang only called Ma Yid after he had a clue about the case.

Waiting for Ma Yid to answer the phone, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Lao Ma, how are you doing lately?"

Mayeed said calmly: "It's not good. We are getting more and more attention in the world, and after receiving attention and attention, many things become difficult to do. Our territory currently borders Somaliland. And Berbera It is also the key direction of our attack, but Somaliland is protected by the United Kingdom. If we attack by force, I am worried that we will encounter a strong reaction from the United Kingdom."

Somaliland is an unrecognized but de facto independent country from Somalia. And compared to Somalia, Somaliland is relatively stable, and the economic situation is much better. Of course, a good economy is a relative term, and Somaliland is still the poorest country in the world.

Ma'eed has a big heart. He does not want to be a warlord. What he wants is to unify Somalia, so he does not mind attacking Somaliland, nor does he mind fighting a few head-on battles with the Somali Youth Army.

The Skeleton Gang now is no longer the Skeleton Gang back then. It is already one of the four largest forces in Somalia. Of course, the official name of the Skeleton Gang should be called the Alliance of Fairness and Justice.

After Gao Yang was silent for a moment, he whispered: "Besides the fear of interference from the UK, what is the main resistance?"

"Somaliland also uses heavy weapons to defend Berbera. They have tanks, artillery, and rocket launchers. But except for a few cannons that have been fired, we only have light weapons to use."

Gao Yang fell into deep thought,

Pass through Berbera. Of course, Gao Yang also has to consider the international situation. At his current point, many major issues that he didn't have to think about before now have to consider.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "As for the weapons, a batch of weapons is already on the ship and is almost at the Suez Canal. After passing the Suez Canal, it will be delivered to you in less than two days. But the cargo is mainly based on the name Mainly missiles and rocket launchers, so be it. I'll load up another boatload of artillery shells and send them over right away, and maybe bring a few cannons."

Majid got a little excited and said loudly: "Is the ammunition coming soon? Very good, we are in urgent need of ammunition. Send more. We need a large reserve, compared to heavy weapons, rockets and bullets that we are not very good at operating. That's what we need most urgently, and I also need reserves, a lot of reserves, you know we've been fighting a lot recently."

It’s hard to say anything else. Ammunition really comes in as much quantity as you need. Although ammunition is not valuable and takes up space, you can’t make much money for a busy trip, but necessity is the biggest source of motivation. Gao Yang immediately said: “Okay, I’ll send it to you right away.” Once a boat passes, no, I will keep sending ammunition to you.”

If the Skeleton Gang hadn't expanded so quickly, their ammunition wouldn't have been consumed so quickly. And in direct proportion to the speed at which the Skeleton Gang consumes ammunition, the Skeleton Gang is also very fast at grabbing territory and winning over people's hearts. The policies of the Skeleton Gang have a lot to do with it, but the premise is that if you want to have a chance to win over the people, you have to defeat this place first.

After talking about the ammunition problem, Gao Yang immediately said: "After the ammunition problem is solved, what are the remaining difficulties that are insurmountable?"

Ma'eed sighed: "Berbera is difficult to fight. If there is an insurmountable difficulty, it is that the area we occupy now is too big, and it is impossible to train experienced elite soldiers quickly. I have to evenly distribute the troops." are distributed on three fronts, but I cannot devote all my elite troops to the battle to attack Berbera. If I don't do this, the other two lines of defense are likely to be breached, and if any one line of defense is breached, it will be causing catastrophic consequences.”

"How many men were on the battlefield in Berbera?"

"Three battalions are the main force, more than 2,200 people, and there are about a thousand auxiliary troops. For Berbera, if we want to completely capture it, these people are still a little short. I am considering whether to use other defense lines. We will mobilize more troops, but it seems difficult at the moment."

After Gao Yang thought for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "I think the possibility of British intervention is very small. Don't worry too much about interference from the British. Since the Black Hawk Down incident, Somalia has been a taboo topic for the United States and the United Kingdom. You just We need to think about how to capture Berbera and firmly hold it.”

Ma'eed smiled bitterly and said: "But we can't capture Berbera now unless we continue to strengthen our troops, but we currently have no available troops."

Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Tell me about the specific battle process. How did the battle against Berbera fail in the end?"

"To put it simply, we can go in and capture part of the city, but then we have to retreat before the follow-up troops can enter, because the number of available troops in Somaliland is much greater than ours. If we don't withdraw in time, we will be attacked. In terms of the risk of siege, we are stronger in terms of combat effectiveness, but in terms of military strength, we are seriously at a disadvantage."

After Gao Yang thought for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Let's do this. I will contact Jiang Yun and find out the crux of the problem first. Then I will think of a solution. Berbera is very critical now. We need to defeat it as soon as possible. We can't delay it any longer, Lao Ma, are you willing to attack Berbera with all your strength? If you are willing, then we will definitely be able to defeat it quickly."

Ma'id said solemnly: "Of course, Berbera is equally crucial to our letter. I can accept taking down Berbera at all costs!" (To be continued)
