At the temporary headquarters of Alkan, General Logan said to General Kalyan, "We are making good progress so far. So far we have taken control of the urban area of ??Alkan, and there are only sporadic resistances in the eastern suburbs."
General Kalyan nodded, "I heard about it. I really didn't expect things to go so smoothly this time. I have to say that General Logan's reputation in Canavia is indeed unmatched."
"Where? If it weren't for Canavia's support and assistance, this operation would not have happened at all. Logan will definitely remember everything the general and your government have done for me.
This operation also relied entirely on the general¡¯s skillful command. General Logan nodded.
Lin Rui walked in from the outside and said, "You two, don't be in a hurry to be polite to each other.
Although we won Alkarn this time, there were too many elements of luck in it, and things will be more complicated in the future. I brought the latest news from the intelligence team. "
"Is there any new news about the Orumi Federal Army?" General Kalyan stood up quickly and asked.
"Yes, according to our intelligence, several garrisons of the Orumi Federal Army in the Anmol area are moving rapidly in the direction of Alkan. Obviously, they have received relevant intelligence.
The Orumi Federal Army understands the importance of Alkan very well. They probably want to launch an offensive against Alkan while our foothold is not stable after losing Alkan. "Lin Rui turned on the tactical computer.
"How many people are there? From which positions are they coming?" General Logan asked immediately.
¡°The Ninth Regiment of the Orumi Federal Army, which was originally located near Pitch Pine Town, has crossed the Gallente River and joined the Fifth Regiment stationed in Kanria.
To the east are two teaching battalions of the Orumi Federation¡¯s direct troops, and a mechanized infantry regiment of the Orumi Federation¡¯s original garrison in Aguirre.
Looking at it this way, their total strength may exceed 8,000 people, approaching Alcain from three different positions. "Lin Rui marked it on the map.
"More than 8,000 troops?" General Kalyan frowned, "The number of troops is almost the same as ours."
"Not only that, I have fought against them before. These troops are all very capable among the Orumi Federal Army." General Logan frowned.
"We must immediately deploy defenses and wait for the arrival of backup troops. We finally captured Alkane, and we must not let it be taken back by the opponent again." General Kalyan said sternly, "I have already told you about our operation. It¡¯s too hasty, we should wait until the backup troops act together.¡±
"This is impossible. Even if we have backup troops, we cannot easily throw them into the battlefield at this stage. They are used as backup troops.
If you go into the battlefield now, you may lose your tactical flexibility. Lin Rui shook his head and said.
"Mr. Rick, do you think we can defend Alkarn now?" General Logan frowned.
"It's hard to say yet." Lin Rui stood up and walked around, "If we choose to stick to Alcain, it will probably take a while. But we may not be able to stick to it.
"If we want to effectively stop them, we can't passively defend here. We must defend out first." "
"Prevent them from getting out? You mean we organize a defense line on the outskirts of the city?" General Kalyan frowned.
¡°What I mean is that we need to defend further outside, such as blocking them here and slowing down their movement speed. It is best to wait until our reinforcements arrive.¡± Lin Rui pointed to the map on the computer.
"Here? This is more than 30 kilometers away from the city of Alkane. You want us to take the troops that far? What about Alkane?" General Logan looked at the map and said in surprise.
¡°The enemy did not have an accurate understanding of our numbers, and they must not have imagined that we would deploy most of our manpower to ambush them along the way.
Therefore, once they encounter an attack, their first thought will definitely not be that we have transferred troops from Alka.
They will think that this is another force we use to ambush them.
In this case, enemy commanders will have a mistaken belief that our military strength far exceeds their estimate. "Lin Rui drew on the map with a pen.
"That is to say, they think we have more than 6,000 troops in Alcain City. And there are a group of thousands of troops setting up an ambush to stop them along the way." Kalyan rolled his eyes.
"Yes, this will delay their attack on Alkane, and secondly, they will not be able to figure out our true strength.
??If they thought our forces far outnumbered theirs, they would not be so resolute in their attack on Arkan. Lin Rui explained.
"Will this be useful?" General Logan asked worriedly, "If we send a large number of troops out, the defense level of Alkane itself will be reduced."
"General, there is no need to worry about this. We have already confirmed it. Currently, around Alkan, the only ones with the real strength to threaten us are these few troops.
If we successfully intercept them midway, Alkane will not be attacked by other troops.
Another point is that the time it took us from the start of the battle to the capture of Alkane was very short. Of course, this is because the rebels all over the city have given us too much help.
However, this will cause the commander of the Orumi Federal Army to have a wrong understanding of our strength estimate.
Because it is necessary to annihilate more than 4,000 defenders of Alcain in such a short period of time. Our troop strength is definitely far greater than that of Arkan's defenders.
Under normal circumstances, we must be 3 to 4 times stronger than them to be able to capture Alcain in such a short period of time.
¡°Coupled with the blocking troops encountered along the way, the commander of the Orumi Federal Army will think that we are likely to have tens of thousands of people.
General, think about it, if they think we invested tens of thousands of people to capture the city of Alcain. Will they still try to counterattack Alkahn with just a few thousand people? "
"I probably understand." General Logan thought for a while and said, "As long as we defend the enemy from Alkan, let them think that we have other troops besides Alkan.
It is very likely that this force also participated in the Battle of Alkan, so it was able to help us take down Alkan so quickly.
So these Orumi federal troops will give rise to the illusion that our military strength far exceeds theirs. "
"You want to scare these Orumi federal troops back?" General Kalian looked at Lin Rui and said.
¡°It¡¯s a bit too much to say scare them back. In fact, they won¡¯t be scared. But if we successfully block them.
They will think that even the troops responsible for external blockade can't fight, let alone the tens of thousands of troops stationed inside Alka. This will greatly shake their confidence. Let their commanders make poor judgments. Lin Rui replied.
