All the officers gathered at the temporary headquarters. Lin Rui looked at them and whispered, "We have now occupied Smara, but there are still many problems that we need to solve.
Enemy reinforcements will arrive at any time, and they will launch a counterattack on Smara. The high command ordered us to hold on for at least 1 to 2 days. It's going to be a tough battle, the other side has armor and air superiority.
To be honest, if we go head-to-head, our chances of winning are not high. So what we have to consider is how to evacuate and how to evacuate safely and quickly. "
"We have just occupied Smara and we must evacuate immediately?" an officer asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I'm afraid there is no choice at this point. Unless you are willing to become a martyr. But this is only your personal wish. Your personal wishes are not important on the battlefield, orders are the most important." Lin Rui turned around and opened the map.
"This is Smara, where we are currently. We have defeated the Moroccan garrison here and here before. But don't be too happy. These Moroccan garrison forces are just negligent.
¡°And the real threat to us is not them, but here. "Lin Rui pointed at the map and said, "This is the 4th Armored Brigade of the Moroccan Defense Forces. Here are two mechanized infantry groups of the Royal Moroccan Army.
And here, here is one of Morocco¡¯s ace units, the 1st and 2nd Independent Armored Regiments. I think everyone should understand what kind of situation we would be in if these troops attacked us?
Yes, the current situation is very bad. But it's not hopeless, at least we don't have no chance at the moment. Of course, by having a chance, I don't mean that we can win, but a chance to evacuate as safely as possible. Actuary, come and talk to them. "Lin Rui made a gesture to the actuary Jiang An.
Jiang An nodded, stood up, pointed at the map with the laser pointer in his hand and said, "The general situation has been discussed just now, so I won't repeat it again. Our biggest problem at the moment is actually here and here, and also They are the enemy's 1st Armored Regiment and 2nd Armored Regiment.
In terms of location, these two regiments are closest to us, and these two regiments are directly under the command of the Moroccan Army Headquarters. They are the two main combat groups most likely to launch an early attack on us.
Given their current location, the most likely location to launch an attack is here, in the town of Vitambore. These were two independent armored regiments that, if they passed through the town of Vitampol, could impose a blockade on the entire area.
And the subsequent troops will encircle Smara with their cooperation. The enemy's entire current deployment will form a pocket offensive for us, and the town of Vitambol is the rope that ties up this pocket. It is also the most critical position.
In order to ensure that Smara is not completely surrounded, an evacuation channel is left for our people. Therefore, we must hold on to the town of Vitambore when the enemy's army presses on the border.
One thing that can be foreseen is that the enemy must also know the importance of Vitambol. They will definitely launch the fiercest offensive against Vitambol. This will become the main battlefield of this battle. It is also the key to determining whether our large forces can safely evacuate. "
¡°Given that the location of Vitampol is so important, we need a main force group to cooperate with our people to defend Vitampol. The rest must continue to defend Smara. The main defense is focused on air defense.
Because at the same time that the enemy's 1st Armored Regiment and 2nd Armored Regiment Vitampol launched a fierce attack, their air force would definitely launch an air attack on Smara. Lin Rui explained.
¡°But we don¡¯t have much air defense equipment, and Smara itself is a city. There are still a large number of residents in the city. Will the Moroccans really launch a large-scale air raid?¡± an officer asked.
¡°We shouldn¡¯t take chances, Smara is different from other areas. This place is already close to the area controlled by the Popular Front of Western Sahara. The Moroccans will never allow Smara to fall, and air strikes are inevitable.
What we have to do is to prepare for the air attack. There is still time, we can deploy some false targets in the city, and at the same time deploy our troops far away from the false targets. I hope I can deceive the enemy during air strikes.
The other thing is that our people must maintain martial law throughout the entire period and prohibit ordinary people from taking to the streets. In the event of an air raid, try to evacuate the crowd and find shelter nearby. Also, we must ensure that urban roads are clear to facilitate our evacuation. "The actuary Masaki replied.
"We can spread our forces, deploy as few troops as possible in the city, and put the troops in several small towns around it." General Edgar Rondo nodded.
"This is aA good method that can effectively deceive the enemy. There is also Vitambol, which cannot be defended by our troops alone. We also need you to send a main force group to assist us. Lin Rui replied.
"My second regiment can take on this task." General Edgar Rondo replied, "Most of them have been members of the teaching regiment and have received good training. The grassroots officers have certain command capabilities. Soldiers Its combat capabilities are also stronger than those of other regiments.¡±
Lin Rui looked at him and said, "If that's the case, of course it's best. But General, I have to remind you that Vitampol will be the most intense battle between our two sides, and this unit may suffer heavy losses."
"I understand, that's why I want the 2nd regiment to go up. We don't have many teams that can really fight hard at the moment, and the 2nd regiment can barely count as one. And I want the 2nd regiment to go up, also because the 2nd regiment is my I brought it out with one hand. I will also guard the most dangerous place with my soldiers." General Edgar Rondo replied.
"I'm afraid this won't work. General, you need to coordinate the overall situation and cannot stay in Vitambore. When the battle starts, my people and I will stay in Vitambore to help you buy as much time as possible. And you need to organize the troops to evacuate as soon as possible. ." Lin Rui shook his head.
"Anyone can organize and handle this kind of thing. I don't need to intervene, but I am still an expert in positional defense operations." General Edgar Rondo smiled.
"I still cannot agree with you staying in Vitampol. You are the supreme commander of this operation. If you die there, it will not be good news for the Western Sahara Popular Front." Lin Rui shook his head.
"That's right. In this operation of Smara, the high command wants to boost morale through this battle. If our commander is killed in this operation, it will undoubtedly severely damage the morale of our army. From this aspect It is said that General Edgar Lambeau was not suitable to stay as Vitumbol." The actuary General also expressed objections.
