¡°Air raid siren!¡± soldiers from the Alliance for the Liberation of Western Sahara screamed loudly. There was a huge buzzing sound from the aircraft fleet in the sky, and countless black spots could be seen far away in the gray sky. They were the incoming bombers. The position that had been noisy just now suddenly became chaotic, and the soldiers fled in panic.
Moroccan air support begins. Several bombs whizzed down, and dazzling flames shot up one after another. The expanding air waves were clearly visible, and then large waves of air and flames suddenly spurted out.
A truck belonging to the Alliance for the Liberation of the People of Western Sahara in the distance was overturned and thrown up, then hit the ground heavily and was in pieces. Thick smoke and flames enveloped the town of Mugaya and the sky was filled with raging Moroccan aircraft.
The flames of the explosion came one after another, thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the raised earth clods fell down on their heads and faces, covering the heads and faces of the soldiers who were hiding in the fortifications to avoid air strikes.
Some of the buildings that had survived before were once again suffering. Some of the buildings that had already been crumbling could no longer withstand the devastation, and collapsed amidst bursts of painful groans.
One bomb after another hit the ground repeatedly, like a heavy hammer, hitting the ground hard again and again, not caring that the already bruised ground was already in agony and moaning loudly.
A section of the forward position was directly hit by the whizzing bombs. The defenses built on the position were torn apart in a huge fire, blue-gray concrete fragments were flying everywhere, and tattered wood and sandbags were swept up by the blast. It was thrown up and smashed everywhere. A few soldiers only raised a burst of blood mist and then disappeared. This shows the power of the aerial bomb.
Since the Liberation Alliance Army has entered the front-line forward position and begun preparations for a general attack on Palimo. Therefore, as soon as it got light, the troops of the Liberation Alliance had already begun to gather towards the town of Mugaya on the outskirts of Palimo. At this time, a large number of troops and supplies were gathered in Mugaya town.
Shogan has been paying close attention to the fighting situation. He must ensure that the air attack comes at the right time.
¡°Although these terrorists of the Liberation Alliance are powerful on the ground, they do not have air superiority, which ensures that the Royal Moroccan Air Force can carry out accurate bombings against them.
Now we must take advantage of the situation to organize a counterattack, regain the lost front-line positions, and hold the enemy back. General, I ask you and your troops to begin a full-scale counterattack. "The actuary pushed Kishi away from his chair and stood up.
General Quinn gritted his teeth and said, "Pass my order and order the 2nd Regiment to cooperate with the 1st and 6th Regiments to counterattack immediately and retake the front-line position. It must be fast. The enemy was bombed and they did not react so quickly."
The counterattack of the Palimo militiamen began. The Liberation Alliance's cover position was attacked frantically by the 2nd Pallimo Regiment. The 2nd Regiment had been dormant on the flanks and had not suffered much losses. At this time, they took advantage of the opportunity of the enemy being attacked by air strikes to attack all the way and pushed the front to the outskirts of Palimo. The Liberation Alliance Army never thought that they would encounter them. Such a hard fight.
What makes the Liberation Alliance forces even more frustrated is that the force standing in front of them is none other than the militia force that recaptured Palimo from them not long ago.
The Palimor militiamen who attacked the front-line position were blocked by the enemy forces defending the area. The Liberation Alliance defenders used the constructed positions to condescendingly fire downwards with intensive firepower. The attacking militiamen had obvious targets and The attack from behind was ineffective, so the casualties were heavy.
¡°Subsequently, Palimo¡¯s side used aircraft and artillery to drop and launch many bombs and smoke grenades to cover the 2nd Regiment¡¯s attack. For a time, the suburbs of Palimo were filled with deafening sounds of bombs and fireworks.
Despite the continuous artillery fire, the enemy troops on the position still persisted in resisting. In addition, they had flanking support from the left-wing friendly troops. The counterattack of the Palimo militiamen was not successful for a while.
But an hour later, the actuary of the Palimo side called for a second air support again. The Royal Moroccan Air Force took advantage of the change in wind direction to drop dense bombs, while the ground militia forces once again attacked.
During the battle, most of the enemy defenders' entire battalion was sacrificed, and most of the front-line positions were recaptured. The remaining sections of the front are still under enemy control.
??In the Palimo Garrison Headquarters, which is located in an underground bunker in the city, reports from the front line are coming one after another. The busy staff officers are walking in a hurry, constantly marking the positions of enemy troops on the operational map based on the successive reports.
As the temporary commander-in-chief, the actuary Jiang An looked at the map and kept smoking. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he could not explain it clearly.
According to their previous plan, when the enemy enters the forward position, blocking artillery fire will begin.Opened, followed by an overwhelming and intensive shooting of multiple configurations of firepower.
When the enemy troops swarm the forward position, the fire defense system composed of large and small fortifications, bunkers, light and heavy firepower points, bunkers, bunkers, and barbed wire arranged in the position and in depth will be carried out in multiple layers: far, middle, and near. Intercept and shoot, killing the enemy with all your strength.
The limited artillery and all the firearms of the front-line defense forces will rain down bullets on the enemy troops. In front of the strong third line of defense, the entire position will flow into a river of blood, and the land of Palimo will be destroyed. dyed red by the blood of the enemy.
But judging from the current battle, the enemy is too strong and the original plan can no longer be carried out. , it is simply impossible to rely on defensive positions to annihilate the enemy outside the city.
Now Palimo has become an isolated city. Initially, he and Lin Rui wanted to hold on for two or three months, so they built a three-layer defense network behind the first line of defense. After inflicting maximum damage on the enemy by deploying large-depth firepower and defensive depth, they can then attract the severely injured enemy to penetrate deep into the third-line position, and then gather and annihilate them.
Such a plan is nothing more than to lure the enemy to go deep and gradually annihilate the enemy's effective forces. However, after only a few days of fighting, the Liberation Alliance has already advanced to the vicinity of the second-line positions. If the air strikes had not been timely, allowing them to recapture part of the position and reorganize the defense line, the consequences would be unimaginable.
If the enemy forces attack regardless of all costs and continue to fight, there will definitely be a brutal street fighting. The defense time of two or three months has now become a luxury fantasy. It would be good if it can last for ten days and a half.
Since these Palimor militiamen have not formed a deployment for full-depth resistance in the organization and command of defensive battles, and lack the preparation and ability to respond quickly, it is reasonable for the front-line positions to fall prematurely.
And Morocco¡¯s air strikes will not always happen. Although the enemy suffered heavy losses, it was mostly in terms of morale, and the actual combat power was not greatly weakened. Jiang An frowned. After Lin Rui left with his troops, all the burden of defense fell on his shoulders.
