Lin Rui and others¡¯ troops had taken advantage of the darkness to quickly move to the vicinity of the two trapped battalions of the Orumi Federal Army, and successfully established contact with Kasan and Campbell.
"Mr. Rick, I know you won't miss this." Kasan laughed in the communication channel. "So far they don't know you are here. They thought it was just us. But with your joining, we can give They will encircle us on three sides."
"This is indeed a good opportunity, but unfortunately, I have other arrangements. The good show of encirclement on three sides cannot be performed, and I can only let you and Campbell attack from two sides. I have to bypass them and continue to move northwest." Lin Rui replied road.
"Mr. Rick, this is a good opportunity. If we annihilate these two battalions together, we can join forces and continue to advance." Campbell also decided that it was a pity.
"I understand what you mean, but I want more than just these two enemy battalions. I want them to keep the entire division here. So you follow the plan, and I follow my plan." Lin Rui replied .
"According to our latest intelligence, the enemy has made some changes. They seem to want to rescue these two battalions as soon as possible." Campbell whispered.
"It seems that they are aware of our intentions, but this is not surprising." Lin Rui nodded, "They want to rescue these two battalions, so we will use these two battalions. Kasan, there is no need to use the tactic of encircling the point for reinforcements." Shall I teach you?"
Encircling a point for reinforcements means surrounding an enemy at a point and using it as bait to attract reinforcements from enemies elsewhere. Its real purpose is to defeat the reinforcements of the enemy and achieve the campaign goal of annihilating the reinforcements. Its focus is on fighting for reinforcements, so the focus of troop deployment is on the strength of fighting for reinforcements, and the auxiliary forces are used to surround the enemy.
This meant that Campbell, who had fewer troops, had to besiege two battalions of enemy troops alone. Only by preventing the opponent from breaking through can we create opportunities for Kasan's reinforcements. Kasan is also a little worried about this, "Campbell's troops are insufficient, and most of them have experienced several hard battles. I think"
¡°Leave all the siege mission to me.¡± Campbell agreed.
"This will not be easy, but I promise, after withstanding this battle, it will be much easier." Lin Rui replied.
In fact, the core of his real plan has not been revealed until now. Whether it was Kasan and Campbell attacking from both sides, or encircling a point for reinforcements, he had only one purpose, which was to attract the enemy's attention. Then take the opportunity to blow up the Murono Reservoir Dam.
This is a plan that has always existed, but he did not say it out because he wanted Kasan and Campbell to show a real offensive posture to better attract the enemy's attention. As long as the Murono Reservoir is destroyed, the Orumi Federation's third division will be in complete trouble.
On the one hand, there is a lack of food and drink, and on the other hand, floods have destroyed roads, making supplies even more impossible. Coupled with the loss of this part of the troops during the encirclement and reinforcements, the entire third division will be unable to fight anymore. And if they wanted to retreat, they couldn't.
Because the reservoir burst and destroyed their retreat route, the other retreat route had to pass through Redmay and Fairland, which was reoccupied by the rebels. This was undoubtedly a dead end. The only way out for this federal third division is to surrender. This is the effect that Lin Rui and Iron Hammer really want.
A better effect than annihilating the federal army. Just let this federal force surrender to the rebel army. A main division of the federal army surrendered to the rebel army. This news itself is comparable to a bombshell, and it can shake the hearts of the Orumi Federation.
The battle started at night. Flares flashed one after another on the position. These flares hung in the sky like big electric lights, illuminating the entire position. The Orumi federal troops took advantage of the light of the flares and fired fiercely with various artillery fire. The fire from the exploding shells tore through the night sky like lightning.
Elijah personally directed the 3rd Division General Reserve to advance suddenly, and with the cooperation of the other two battalions, rescued the two trapped battalions of federal troops. But if they want to break through the siege laid by Campbell, they must capture Highland 9, this crucial pass, open up the connection with the trapped troops, and save the defeat.
As a besieging enemy force, Campbell held two important commanding heights and key defensive points. This also means that he will inevitably become the key point for the enemy's main attack.
On the contrary, if the enemy does not capture Highland 9, even if they break through the encirclement network and complete a strong breakthrough in the middle. Then Campbell's troops can still re-stabilize the defense. It has two commanding defense points that can overlook and monitor all the surrounding hills and the general situation on the ground for several kilometers. With the auxiliary support of the attached artillery, it can still defend and besiege the enemy.
General Elijah, the operational commander of the Orumi Federal Army, has also given a fatal order to seize Highland 9 at all costs. The two infantry regiments of the Third Division, plus an attached artillery regiment, are almost luxurious weapons.The troops and firepower launched an attack on Highland 9 where the Anmol Army was stationed.
"Boom!" Following the sharp sound that penetrated the eardrums, it filled the sky with dazzling heat like a shower of fire, like meteors drawing blazing arcs in the dark night sky. The sound of shelling was like a loud thunder on the ground. In an instant, thick black smoke from the shelling rose everywhere.
"Get down! Get down!" Several Anmore veterans on the position shouted with all their strength. At the same time, they quickly hid in the foxholes, holding their heads and bending their knees. The violent shells were already pouring down like a shower. The explosion of artillery shells, the red light suddenly appeared, and the ground shook. Blood and flesh were splashed and wrapped in mud and thrown all over the sky.
Many soldiers were so shocked that they temporarily lost hearing in both ears, even had eardrums bleeding and became dizzy.
The artillery fire of the Orumi federal forces extended, interweaving a continuous wall of fire on Highland 9 and the path down the hillside, intending to use ferocious firepower to block the opponent's follow-up reinforcements and prevent these Anmore soldiers from filling the important role of reinforcements. Strategic pivot.
At the same time, the two regiments of the Orumi Federation quickly divided into east and west groups and launched a rapid assault on Highland No. 9, intending to separate and surround several important strategic pivots and the main defense line near Highland No. 9 with superior force and firepower. . In order to cut off the only retreat, the Anmol army at the strategic node of Highland 9 was completely annihilated.
For a time, in the thick black night and fog, there were gunshots, explosions, and shouts of killing. At the same time, Lin Rui and others who had moved to the other side heard the movement and took the opportunity to look back at Highland No. 9.
"They will be miserable. Whether they can hold on depends on luck." Sausage said after being silent for a while.
"They must hold on. And as soon as Kassan starts to move, the pressure on Highland 9 will be relieved." Lin Rui turned around and strode forward. They must use the cover of night and fog to quietly move toward the Murono Reservoir where the main enemy force is located
