Lin Rui returned to the temporary headquarters and leaned tiredly against the corner. Sergey came over and threw a can to him, "How about some tuna? It was left behind when the Moroccan troops evacuated. The good news is that it has not expired. How is the defense deployment?"
"It's probably just that, no one can say for sure." Lin Rui shook his head, "How is the preparation of the artillery unit?"
"The rocket launcher battalion is ready, but it is not practical to use them to attack tanks. At most, they can only provide suppressive firepower to cover the evacuation of Smara's troops." Jiang An replied.
"Where's the mortar?" Lin Rui asked.
"Most of the mortars have been assigned to us for use. Most of them are 82mm mortars. But it's still a bit difficult to use them against armor." Jiang An shook his head.
"Not necessarily. Although mortars are not reliable at all, it is not impossible under special circumstances. Mortars are curved guns and can launch attacks without the enemy discovering us.
The premise is that enemy tanks must be blocked in a long and narrow area with constant movement in areas with complex enough terrain. The top armor of a tank is generally weaker than other parts. If the mortar fire is concentrated for bombing, it is not impossible to deal with the tank.
??And the enemy will not only advance with tanks, the terrain is complex, they must use infantry and tank coordination. The use of high-explosive artillery shells, even if the tank cannot be destroyed, will cause heavy casualties to the group of infantry surrounding the tank. " Kuai Ma replied.
"This idea is okay. In terms of firepower, we are completely weak. These mortars may be able to give us a little initiative. Try to deploy them in a favorable position." Lin Rui nodded.
"It's purely the Americans' dependence on firepower. Mortars are not very accurate. Now we assume that the shell can hit the tank, then this shell must have fallen from the air. Looking at the tank from the air, most of it is the top armor of the tank. .Then the mortar has a certain possibility of destroying the tank.
But in fact, there are very few such opportunities, and it is impossible to guarantee that the mortar will land on the tank. My opinion is to use these artillery pieces to deal with small numbers of enemy infantry. But with incendiary bombs. If launched in clusters, it would be a barrage.
The enemy infantry will definitely be burned until they cry like ghosts, but at the same time, the high temperature of 2100 degrees will burn, which is not a good thing for the tank. And the smoke emitted by burning is toxic. Due to terrain restrictions, as long as we destroy one or two tanks, other tanks will be temporarily unable to move.
The people inside the tank were either smoked to death or had to risk their way out. Sausage shook his head.
"But the problem is that we don't have that many mortar incendiary bombs. Most of them are high-explosive bombs and anti-personnel bombs." Kuai Ma spread his hands and said.
"Stop fighting and deploy according to Kuai Ma's ideas. How are the sausages, anti-tank mines and roadside bombs prepared?" Lin Rui asked.
"Everything is ready. Now I have used all our reserves. The Western Sahara Popular Front only has a few possessions in total." Sausage shook his head and said.
"Where are the warning measures?" Lin Rui whispered.
"We urgently contacted Cobain and asked him to use satellites to observe the movements of the Moroccan military. Once we find that their armored units are approaching, we will be notified as soon as possible. All soldiers have entered a state of combat readiness, and all units have carried out large-scale Take turns.
Make sure that all soldiers get a certain amount of rest time, because next, we may have to face a tough street battle. By then everyone may have no time to rest. "Jiang'an replied.
"Well, it seems that everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared. You guys should go down and rest. Otherwise, you will collapse from exhaustion before the enemy comes over." Lin Rui smiled.
¡°It¡¯s impossible, my nerves are simply stronger than steel wire.¡± Sergey grinned.
While eating the canned tuna, Lin Rui turned around and said, "Don't brag, no one is stronger than anyone else, they are all the same as their mother. Let me make it clear to you first. Everyone is aware of the danger of this mission." You know it all, no need for me to say anything more.
You have been with me for so long, and I don¡¯t want to see any of you die in this place. I have only one request, please live well. I don't want to send ashes to your home. "
After finishing speaking, Lin Rui leaned against the corner and slowly closed his eyes. He couldn't sleep at all, and his mind was strangely awake. But he had to take a good rest, otherwise he didn't know if he would be able to close his eyes in the next day or two.
He doesn¡¯t know how long it took, but he felt someone tap his shoulder, ¡°Don¡¯t pretend to be asleep, you can¡¯t sleep like me anyway. How about we get up and chat?¡±
Lin Rui knew without opening his eyes that the person speaking was the actuary Jiang An.
"You can't sleep either?" He opened his eyes and looked at Jiang An.
Masaki smiled tiredly, "Those who can still fall asleep in this situation are either people who are extremely tired and can fall asleep standing up, or people who are simple-minded. Unfortunately, we are neither. .¡±
Lin Rui also smiled, slowly raised his body and sat up.
The actuary handed An An a cigarette to him and lit it for him. "What do you think of this mission? To be honest"
"To be honest, it's a disaster but a disaster. I'm not kidding. This is really a disaster." Lin Rui sighed.
"You don't need to tell me, I know that. What I mean is, are you prepared for our evacuation after we complete the mission?" the actuary lowered his voice.
"If we can hold on for 1 to 2 days and ensure that Vitampol is not captured, we should have a chance to retreat." Lin Rui thought carefully and said. "We can evacuate to the southeast. After occupying Vitambore, the enemy troops should not continue to pursue us to the southeast, but will attack Smara with all their strength.
After all, that is their goal. Therefore, our biggest difficulty is to hold on to Vitampol, not how to evacuate. "
"But what if the enemy insists on pursuing us?" Shogan reminded, "With such a small number of us, even if we add General Edgar Rondo's 2nd Regiment, we may not be able to withstand the pursuit of the enemy's armored forces."
"Probably not, because we are not the main target of these enemy forces. Their main goal is to recapture Smara." Lin Rui thought for a while.
"But if we push them too hard and cause their losses to be too heavy, they will most likely detach a part of their troops to pursue us." Actuary Shogan whispered.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Lin Rui asked.
"We will not evacuate to the southeast, but to the northeast. In this way, they will think that we are going to Smara. Then they will attack Smara with all their strength. When that time we suddenly turn to the southeast, maybe there will be a A better choice." Jiang An whispered.
Lin Rui smiled and nodded, "You always think more thoughtfully than me."
