Lin Rui looked at these Western Sahara officers, "Do you understand?"
One of the officers frowned and said, "You mean we retreat temporarily, forcing their supply line to be extended, and then try to attack their supply line?"
"Yes, that's what I think. But to do so, the requirements are very high. We must have more comprehensive intelligence, which areas are accessible to all types of vehicles; which areas are moderately accessible or only a small number of vehicles are accessible; steep slopes Location; Location of inaccessible areas such as salt lakes and salt marshes.
The location of sand dunes; the growth of vegetation; the location of rugged terrain; the location of inaccessible steep slopes; the location of steep slopes where vehicles can cross; the location of roads where vehicles can pass
So a few months ago I suggested forming and sending out a desert reconnaissance team. And these necessary subjects have been added to the training process of the troops.
But what is somewhat gratifying is that although before the war broke out, your Western Sahara army did not make any preparations for fighting in the desert area in the future.
But after we intervened, all preparations, including organization and training, were carried out around desert reconnaissance operations.
We conducted strict physical examinations on the soldiers of the first batch of Western Sahara reconnaissance troops and selected those suitable for tropical operations; issued tropical combat training uniforms; changed the training courses to adapt to tropical combat requirements; repainted all combat vehicles , painted in desert colors and more.
So far, we have a desert reconnaissance force with a strength of two battalions, and a reconnaissance command composed of ten staff officers has been established for this purpose. Although there may still be many shortcomings, this unit is already the most adaptable part of our army to desert warfare. "
"You have already deployed in advance? Those reconnaissance troops that were previously transferred for training are just for preliminary reconnaissance?" An officer suddenly realized.
"Of course, this is why you hired us. Maybe you think we just took your money and commissioned the training of the troops. But gentlemen, things are far from as simple as you think.
We taught them how to organize, march and fight in a desert environment; how to camp for a long time; how to build fortifications in the sand; how to drive various tanks or other armored vehicles in the sand and at night; how to organize and march in flat areas at night , expand.
How to use a compass and drive an armored vehicle under the stars; how to lay and clear mines in a desert environment; conduct mobile combat exercises in a desert environment; learn the medical knowledge necessary for fighting in the tropics; master the geography of desert areas and the combat methods of enemy and friendly forces ,Habit.
It is worth mentioning that since most of your soldiers are locals, they are quite familiar with the desert. It saves a lot of trouble during the training process. Although they are not particularly good at the moment, they are already competent.
There is almost nothing in the desert except swarms of black mosquitoes, desert fleas, and thorny shrubs spreading everywhere, so the Desert Scout Team has also formed some special teams for the desert environment.
For example, water supply companies, these companies are equipped with water pumps and well-drilling equipment. Some of these companies were also equipped with distillation equipment. It also includes water transport teams, which are also part of the logistics and transportation department.
As far as I know, the Moroccan army also has the same transport team. The difference is that these transport teams are specially used to transport water. But instead of a water tank truck or trailer, deliver buckets of 20-liter water tanks. The result is a huge waste of space, inefficiency, and a waste of gasoline.
These newly trained soldiers will ensure that we fight this battle well. Lin Rui looked at these Moroccan officers and said.
"He's right. In fact, Desert Scout quickly became our secret weapon. Where others saw only hostile wastelands, unprepared troops, and cursed enemy armies, we saw Chance.
??In fact, the desert and the sea have many similarities. Just as the sea is a battlefield for the navy, the desert will be a natural stage for tanks. The Moroccan armor was truly terrifying.
But as long as the reconnaissance work is done carefully and diligently, a limited number of mechanized troops can be fully capable of conducting fast and bold military operations. Actually we already have a plan" replied actuary Masakishi.
"You already have a plan?" Several Western Sahara officers asked in surprise, "But we have only just informed you of this situation."
"There is a reason why you hired us. If we wait until you notify us before making a response plan, we will not be worth the price." Lin Rui shrugged, "Actuary, was this plan made by you, or was it Come and introduce it to them.???
Actuary Shogan nodded, "Actually, we have been making relevant preparations a few months ago. We made various predictions about the enemy's dynamics and finally found the most likely attack route.
Judging from the current situation of the enemy, our previous predictions have actually been proved to be completely correct. This line is exactly the offensive line they are currently running.
The Moroccan army wants to inflict heavy damage on us, but also wants to avoid involving Algeria. Because we know that the relationship between Morocco and Algeria has not been good.
Both sides have always regarded each other as imaginary enemies, and once launched an arms race in Northwest Africa. Algeria is not a bad guy, they are the real overlords of Africa. With a territory of more than 2.3 million square kilometers, it ranks tenth in the world and is the largest country in Africa.
The vast land contains rich mineral resources, among which oil and natural gas reserves rank among the best in the world. And it is currently the second largest natural gas exporter in the world, second only to Russia.
In recent years, Algeria¡¯s military expenditure once accounted for 5% of GDP, which is considered a large amount. In 2015, due to the drop in oil prices, the country's GDP fell off a cliff. However, Afghanistan's military expenditure did not decrease, but increased.
The country currently has 280,000 troops, including 130,000 active troops. The number of soldiers in the Albanian army seems to be small, but the weapons and equipment are amazing. The Afghan army has eight sets of S-300pmu2 air defense missile systems. 70% of the 40 sets of Pantsir-S1 ordered have arrived, and 500 of the 800 T-90am purchased have now arrived.
In addition, the Afghan army also purchased thousands of German Fox armored vehicles and 300 bmpt-72 tank support vehicles. The Afghan army even has 4 sets of Iskander-e.
There is also a lot of naval and air force equipment. The Albanian navy has 6 Kilo-class submarines, 3 C28A frigates, 1 9,000-ton amphibious support ship, and 2 German-made 40-ton frigates.
The Afghan Air Force has 12 Su-34s, 32 MiG-29s, 58 Su-30mkas, 15 C-130s, 14 Il-76s, 4 Il-78s, and more than 50 helicopters.
So Morocco is very afraid of Algeria. Algeria has always supported the Popular Front of Western Sahara. Therefore, in order to avoid involving the Algerians, Morocco will definitely choose an offensive route away from the Algerian border. "
