Lin Rui¡¯s intuition has always been accurate, and he guessed it right this time. The Hammers did not stick to Route 4 as planned.
Previously, they had indeed followed Lin Rui's plan to defend the area along Highway 4 with all their strength.
"However, because the Orumi federal army has not arrived for a long time. The rebels in the urban area were besieged by the police force.
The commander responsible for guarding Route 4 is himself a member of the resistance organization. They are not from standard military backgrounds at all, and do not have much sense of command and overall awareness.
While guarding Route 4 with nothing to do, the fighting was in full swing in the city. The commander was eager to achieve great results, and as soon as his head became hot, he took his people to support the rebel troops in the city.
He did not completely abandon Highway 4, but still left a few troops to guard it.
Including the Anmol prisoners of war who had previously joined the rebels, the number was several thousand. However, without effective unified command, the deployment on the front line of Highway 4 was quite chaotic.
¡°These Hammer Resistance Army, after all, are guerrillas and lack real military qualities. The defenses along the line were in a complete mess, and there was no real effective early warning to the enemy.
Before Lin Rui and others rushed to Highway 4, these resistance forces finally exchanged fire with the Orumi Federal Army.
And once the two sides exchanged fire, a decision was made. Those coming from the other side are not guerrillas or irregular armies. It is the capital garrison of the Orumi Federation.
Whether it is the quality of personnel or the level of equipment. The two are not on the same level at all.
The resistance forces under Hammer are doing sabotage, assassination, and gathering information. Sometimes you can also conduct small-scale ambush battles and attack the supply transportation lines of the federal army.
¡°But if it¡¯s a real tough battle, the gap between the irregular army and the regular army will emerge.
The first is the lack of an early warning mechanism. When the Orumi federal army was almost in sight, the rebels reacted and hurriedly responded.
It was supposed to be a defensive battle in which we were waiting for work, but it was turned into a surprise battle by the other side, which caught us off guard.
A tracked infantry fighting vehicle of the Orumi Federal Army rushed forward at high speed, broke through the defensive formation of the rebels, and braked to a sudden stop.
After the infantry fighting vehicle came to a stop, several infantrymen quickly got off the vehicle and formed a battle formation. This lineup is the basic configuration of the heavy equipment of the Orumi Army. The seven infantrymen are equipped with five 5.56mm rifles, one mg74 7.62x machine gun, and one recoilless rifle.
The medium-caliber machine gun is the center of the team. The mg74 is an improved model based on the mg3. It is equipped with a speed controller and can fire a single shot. The recoilless rifle battery provides the team with critical firepower.
An infantry fighting vehicle is a combat squad. Although the scale is small, the combat effectiveness of the unit is quite strong.
Multiple infantry fighting vehicles cooperate with each other. This is an extremely effective offensive tactic, that is, during the impact phase of the attack, a variety of direct-aiming weapons are concentrated to carry out fierce fire suppression to open the way for the impact team.
The reason why this tactic is so fierce and effective is that it can concentrate all the firepower on a narrow area, forming an almost absolute firepower advantage.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And the technology of these Orumi federal troops is quite good, they also rely heavily on direct aiming to suppress firepower, and almost every battle always uses infantry companies and machine gun companies mixed together.
Their commander divided the force into three basic parts, namely a suppression team, a shock team and an expansion team.
The impact force is smaller than the suppression force, while the expansion force is the largest. They even used a full machine gun battery to clear the way for a squad to attack.
In this way, the impact team can stand up and attack at a very close distance from the enemy position without suffering casualties. After opening the breach, the impact detachment expanded to the two wings to expand and solidify the breach; the large force quickly passed through the breach and penetrated into the depth of the enemy's defensive position to expand the results.
This kind of offensive combat formation is completely different from the large and thin line defense formation of the Hammer Resistance Organization.
During battle, they almost always divide their forces into suppression units, impact units, and expansion units.
When the battle began, the Orumi federal army used seatless rifles, rocket launchers and machine gun fire to violently suppress a very narrow section of the defensive position.
The weapon firing positions of the Olumi federal forces are sometimes less than 100 meters away from the resistance positions.
Under the cover of fierce suppressive fire, the small-scale assault detachment of the Orumi federal army destroyed the barbed wire fence and launched an attack on the bunkers and fortifications that could control the breach.
Opening a breakthrough and expanding the resultsThe troops quickly passed through the breach and broke into the depth of the defensive position.
When breaking through various established positions, it is much more effective to use two squads to provide fire support and one squad to attack than to use one squad to provide fire support.
This formation is not only suitable for light infantry, but also for the mechanized troops and armored troops of the Orumi Federal Army.
When the infantry needs to clear a roadblock, seize a village, or occupy an exposed flank to ensure that the armored forces complete their main tasks, mechanized infantry can use tanks, the infantry armored vehicles of the unit itself, as well as artillery and mortars. Waiting for fire support from various direct and indirect aiming weapons to launch an attack.
These combat operations are usually carried out under the condition of very intense suppressive firepower. The strength of the suppressive unit is usually larger than that of the mobile unit, so it is easier to expand the results.
The rebels are not regular troops to begin with, and for irregular troops, what they fear most is being suppressed by firepower.
So from the beginning of this battle, they fell into great passivity. They were almost suppressed and beaten by the Orumi federal army.
With the addition of Iron Hammer¡¯s rebel force and the newly joined Anmor prisoner-of-war force, they are fighting independently, making it difficult to achieve effective coordination.
Fortunately, they deployed the defenses along Highway 4 in advance and played a key role. Although these machine gun fortifications and infantry bunkers were very crude, at this time, they became their support.
And the Orumi federal forces are not trying to make a quick breakthrough against them. What is more important for the Olumi federal forces is to seize control of Highway 4.
The Orumi Federal Forces do not care about occupying Redmay, they care more about the security of the Orumi Federal Capital District.
So they need to give priority to controlling Highway 4. Avoid Redmay's rebels from merging with rebels in several other cities and posing a threat to the capital area.
It is for this reason that the Hammer Resistance Forces can continue to confront the Orumi Federal Garrison.
If they fight conventionally, the Orumi federal forces can quickly penetrate the resistance defenses.
