A few days later, the Alliance for the Liberation of Western Sahara suddenly launched an attack on Morocco. Several important towns in the south of Morocco have been attacked one after another. It is said that both sides used rocket launchers and missiles, and the number of casualties has further increased.
This time, Morocco took real action and mobilized a large number of troops to encircle and suppress the Alliance for the Liberation of Western Sahara. But what is surprising is that the Alliance for the Liberation of Western Sahara has never fallen behind. The two sides fought fiercely in Dakhla. The Alliance for the Liberation of Western Sahara occupied Dakhla several times, but was repelled by the Moroccan government forces several times.
Dakhla is one of the important cities in Western Sahara. Dakhla was originally called "Sizneros City" and is a port in Western Sahara. On a long and narrow peninsula in the Midwest, bordering the Atlantic Ocean.
The harbor on the west side can accommodate seagoing ships. Founded in 1884, it was the first permanent settlement established by Spain on the West African coast. In recent years, the discovery of abundant spring water nearby has attracted surrounding herders to settle here, causing the city's population to increase rapidly. It is a fishing port. There are ship repair and fish processing industries. Steamers ply between the Canary Islands. It also has an airport and is an important stop on routes between Europe and South America.
The two sides launched a fierce tug-of-war in Dakhla.
Morocco even dispatched the Royal Navy and Air Force to assist the Army in combat. However, the Alliance for the Liberation of Western Sahara appears to be quite experienced and rarely confronts Morocco head-on. They usually withdraw as soon as the Moroccans arrive.
But before the Moroccan army could gain a firm foothold, they would launch a surprise attack and then immediately retreat. This method of fighting made the Moroccans very uncomfortable. At the same time, attacks against civilians continue unabated.
¡°In the ongoing conflict, both Moroccan civilians and Western Saharan civilians are all victims of the conflict. Half of the city was almost reduced to ruins, and the situation was extremely serious. This resulted in the Moroccans having to withdraw several main combat regiments from the original ceasefire zone to support Dakhla.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Western Sahara Popular Front finally launched a full-scale counterattack. Not only did they retake the original ceasefire zone, they even attacked near Smara.
In the headquarters, Lin Rui and others have been paying attention to the battle situation in Dakhla.
"The Liberation Alliance has occupied Dakhla again. According to the latest situation, this is the fifth time that Dakhla has changed hands. It seems that their tug-of-war will continue for a long time." General Edgar Rondo looked at Map Road. "This is an opportunity for us. Maybe we can use this opportunity, even if the enemy is attracted to Dakhla, to directly launch an offensive to take Smara."
"But the problem is that we still don't understand why the Western Sahara Liberation Alliance insists on attacking Dakhla. Although Dakhla is a port city, it does not seem to be worth the high price paid by the Western Sahara Liberation Alliance." The actuary will Kishi shook his head.
"No matter why they insisted on attacking Dakhla. But their behavior actually gave us an opportunity to capture Smara. Taking advantage of the large number of Moroccans who were attracted to Dakhla, we captured Smara. It will become easier. I think this is an opportunity." General Edgar Rondo frowned.
"The Alliance for the Liberation of Western Sahara is not our friend at all. It can even be said that they are our enemy. They will not provide us with such an opportunity for no reason." Lin Rui replied.
"But the actual situation is that we are approaching Smara and have every chance to capture this city. If we capture Smara, the situation will change dramatically. The Moroccan military will be in trouble." General Edgar Rondo said.
"But what if this is what the Alliance for the Liberation of Western Sahara wants us to do? What if this is a trap they have set for us in advance. What will happen?" Actuary Shogan looked back at General Rondo and said, "Just As the general said, once Smara is captured, the entire war situation will change dramatically.
Prior to this, the Moroccan military had not used the troops deployed on the Algerian border. The fighting between the two sides therefore remained within the scope of skirmishes. And once we capture Smara, we will force them to change their strategy.
They will dispatch the army deployed on the Algerian border, and Smara is their primary target. In fact, everyone knows very well that Morocco did not show its true strength when fighting us. Their most powerful armed force is actually the Moroccan Defense Force.
¡°Whether it¡¯s us or the Alliance for the Liberation of Western Sahara, in fact the Moroccans have never regarded us as their real enemy. Algeria is their real imaginary enemy and competitor.
They have been fighting us with one hand, and our capture of Smara will force them to withdraw their other hand and use their full strength to deal with us. In other words, even if we take Smara, we may not be able to defend it.??. "
"Is it because of this reason that we should give up the attack on Smara? This is meat on our lips." Another officer of the Western Sahara Popular Front hesitated.
"The so-called bait is just meat brought to the mouth." Lin Rui was silent for a while and finally said, "We have already occupied the ceasefire zone, and there is no need to further anger the Moroccans. After all, the gap in strength between us and them is too big. "
"I'm afraid the Military Council does not agree with you." General Edgar Rondo shook his head and said, "They are ordering me to take Smara. Believe me, Mr. Rick. I have tried my best to explain the situation here, but The committee demands that we must take Smara."
"Ernister also agreed to take Smara?" Lin Rui frowned, "But he said before that he would respect our opinions."
"No offense, sir, but even Ernest has to obey the committee's resolution. This is a public vote of the general meeting, and it is not something he can influence alone. It is not something I can influence alone." General Edgar Rondo said lowly vocal channel.
"I want to talk to Ernest, help me contact him now." Lin Rui turned around and said. Soon, Ernest's call was answered.
"Mr. Ernest, I remember we had an agreement before. You must respect the opinions of the military advisory group. At present, we feel that the situation is not clear yet and requires further observation. So at least for now, it is not the final step to attack Smara. Good time." Lin Rui said loudly.
"I understand. But I'm afraid we have no other choice. We are already approaching Smara, and we must fight this battle. And we must win Smara.
"Listen to me, we've discussed this carefully. This stop is not only military, but also politically necessary. In recent times, due to the emergence of the Liberation Alliance, our actions have been questioned. The people of Western Sahara think that we are too weak.
??If we are approaching Smara but have not launched an attack. It could easily be another reason for the Liberation Alliance to verbally attack us. ¡± explained Ernest.
