The Orumi federal troops were suddenly stunned. One after another tanks were destroyed in the chaos. The federal soldiers bumped into each other like headless flies. The cannonballs that kept flying over seemed to have eyes, aiming specifically for Orumi. Where the largest number of Union soldiers fell.
With this unexpected change, the Orumi federal army was severely beaten when they were about to win. The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. They pressed all their troops on the position and used the human sea tactic and superior firepower to annihilate the enemy. There was nothing wrong with their tactics. However, the sudden artillery bombardment made the entire army's tactics become the best target for the opponent's artillery.
Rapid changes on the battlefield can easily turn a winning tactic into a fatal tactic. The 107mm rocket launcher is not reliable for hitting precise targets, but it is good at hitting large-scale cluster targets. The Orumi federal army pressed forward heavily and formed a dense formation, which turned out to be a fatal mistake.
Even better luck was that the Orumi Federation commander was also killed by a burst of artillery fire. He originally stood on the chariot and used a telescope to observe the battlefield conditions. Because the distance was very far, he did not realize what kind of protection he should use. A rocket landed on the roof of the tank, and the commander was instantly blown into two pieces.
This unlucky commander was still in the tank from the waist down, with only half of his upper body left, and was blown to pieces. Once he died, everything down there was in complete chaos.
"Retreat quickly! Retreat quickly!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining commanders and deputies could only issue a temporary retreat order. After all, the commander died in battle and the soldiers had no intention of fighting. The most conservative approach in this case is to retreat temporarily and reorganize.
The enemy's sudden retreat left the rebels at a loss as to what to do. On the contrary, Anmore's prisoner-of-war troops were all veterans. When they saw this situation, they knew it was time to pursue them.
This group of desperadoes chased the federal troops with loud shouts of killing, and instantly flooded the blocking position like a tide. The Orumi federal troops, who had no time to retreat, abandoned their armor and were defeated. It was like letting go of the cowardice I had suffered in the labor camp.
Lin Rui didn't have time to stop him, but after chasing for a while, he immediately ordered a retreat.
"Boss, the enemy has retreated. Why don't you catch up and kill them for a while? If they gain a foothold, the situation will not be good." Sergey ran over and asked loudly.
"The current situation is not good, and the cost of catching up is too high." Lin Rui shook his head, "You don't understand at all. We just seem to have the advantage, but it's actually just a fluke. The enemy retreated because of the artillery fire just now. dense.
They must have thought that our backup had arrived, or that we still had a large number of artillery. Their formation was concentrated before, so they retreated to avoid further attacks. It's not because of lack of strength. In fact, I just made a desperate move and bought us a little time. "
"Then, boss, what should we do next?" Sausage also came over and asked.
"How much ammunition does the artillery have?" Lin Rui asked.
"There are none anymore. Use them intensively according to your request and launch them all." Sausage replied.
"Without artillery support, we can't withstand the enemy's offensive. We can't win the battle just by relying on courage. Announce my order, continue to retreat, and go to the outskirts of Redmay to reorganize defenses. There are several people close to No. 4 there. For small towns on the road, we can use terrain defense.
¡°And the rebels in the city should be arriving soon. They can replenish us with manpower and ammunition. So there is no point in us staying here any longer. Lin Rui nodded and said, "We will retreat before the enemy troops can react." "
"Retreat again? The number of enemy troops is not as good as ours. We have retreated twice in a row. This time we finally managed to defeat the enemy, but we still have to retreat. If this continues, the morale of our brothers will inevitably be low. Mr. Rick, regarding this retreat , do you want to think about it again? Our brothers still have the courage." An officer of the rebel army whispered.
"There is nothing to consider, we must withdraw." Lin Rui shook his head. "Before the launch, we did have more people than the enemy. But now you look at it, what are our combat losses like, and what are the enemy's combat losses like?
I have said before that fighting not only depends on courage, but also on strength. To put it most simply, have you ever measured our ammo consumption?
"Do you know at what level our ammunition consumption is in the battles?" Do you know about our ammunition storage situation?
I understand, I can tell you. Our ammunition consumption has exceeded 70% of our inventory.
If we don¡¯t find an opportunity to retreat and replenish as soon as possible, then our soldiers will have to use weapons without bullets to fight the enemy¡¯s infantry fighting vehicles. Do you think courage can solve this problem???
If we can¡¯t solve it, the enemy¡¯s tanks will crush our soldiers¡¯ bodies and take their courage with them. "
The officer of the rebel army had nothing to say and could only take a step back in embarrassment.
"The announcement of the retreat order is still the same as before. Each unit takes turns to cover to prevent the enemy from turning around and fighting back." Lin Rui waved his hand directly, "You, come here."
The rebel officer looked confused, pointed at himself and asked, "Sir, are you calling me?"
"Nonsense, who else can I call besides you? Call your commander again through your communication system.
No matter what happens, he must rush to the suburbs northwest of Redmay to meet us. Tell him this is the last chance I give him. Lin Rui said seriously.
"Mr. Rick, I can only do my best, and there is no guarantee that Commander Amar can really come back. After all, he is the operational commander, and I am just his subordinate.
Only I listen to his orders, there is no possibility of me ordering him. "The rebel officer said with some embarrassment.
¡°Do as I say and make my point clear. Tell him that he was AWOL and I¡¯m helping him clean up his mess.
Tell him that Route 4 may be lost at any time. And once we lose control of Route 4. The so-called uprising has already failed half the battle.
Tell him that this is what I asked for, no matter what the reason, he must lead the team to withdraw. Lin Rui said sternly.
"Yes, sir. I will forward your order to Commander Aimar." The rebel officer saw Lin Rui's unkind expression and immediately nodded and replied.
Lin Rui looked at the other officers of the rebel army, "I won't say any more nonsense. I want a clean evacuation, not an embarrassing retreat. If possible, the equipment and wounded will not be left behind, so try not to leave them behind.
Throughout the evacuation process, each unit assumed the responsibility of covering each other. If anyone disobeys orders, refuses to assume cover tasks, and evacuates first. All are subject to military law. "
