Chapter 4637 Pointing east and hitting west

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Actuary Jiang An¡¯s plan is actually a big adventure.  In the absence of obvious movements of the Orumi federal army, they concentrated their superior forces to launch a surprise attack.  In fact, it is a premature exposure of strength.

    And if the Orumi federal army does not make corresponding adjustments for this attack.  Then the rebels' efforts would be in vain and their hidden strength would be exposed.

    But the actuary Shogishi still decided to give it a try. He felt that his opponent also guessed that he had a back-up plan, so he was waiting and watching.  Only by making the opponent think that you have shown your trump card can you possibly force the opponent to make changes.  This opportunity will be the key for Lin Rui and other mercenary troops to launch an attack.

    The artillerymen of the rebel army set up a secret observation post near the front line to communicate the target position and correct the deviation of the bullet impact point.

    In order to effectively conceal, the shooting time is mostly at dusk and night.  During the day, they moved into the ditch and then took cover, never allowing the enemy to discover the exact position of their artillery.

    So the Orumi Federation has always known that the other party has an artillery unit with cannons.  But it is not known where this artillery is deployed, because this unit often attacks with artillery fire at night and basically does not move during the day.

    However, after receiving the order from the actuary, the artillery unit also changed from its normal state and actually started shelling the Orumi federal army position in broad daylight. Moreover, the position of the shelling was not the flank of position No. 3 that had been attacking before.  It is the middle of the western defense line of the Orumi Federal Army.

    This move really made the commander of the Orumi Federal Army, Isaiah, break into a cold sweat.  Some officers had previously planned to move the troops on the western defensive line to the flanks of Position 3, but he kept gritting his teeth and did not let go.  He felt that the enemy must have some back-up plan, and it would not be so simple and straightforward.

    Until this time, when the shelling started, Isaiah basically knew what was going on.

    After receiving the report, he immediately stared at the map, "As expected, the enemy has other intentions. It seems that they are intensifying their attack on the flank of Position 3.

    But in fact, they want to create local pressure on us to mobilize our defense deployment.  The real direction of attack should be in the middle of our western defense line!  The defense line here is relatively long and the terrain is flat.

    What¡¯s more important is that once it breaks through, it will directly threaten other surrounding areas.  The enemy commander's idea was not to risk a quick attack, but to attack steadily and gain a foothold in the middle of the western defense line.  In this way, our defensive advantage will be greatly reduced.  "

    "General, what should we do? Should we withdraw other troops and move to the middle of the western defense line for key defense?" an officer asked quickly.

    "No, if you do this, you will just fall into the enemy's trap." Isaiah paced back and forth, "Position 3, the enemy troops on the flanks, this is most likely a feint attack. But they may change roles at any time and become  Main direction of attack. This is a typical two-way cover tactic.

    The Anmol troops currently flanking Position 3 and the enemy troops attacking the center of the western defense line have formed a pattern of mutual cover.  This is an exploratory attack.  Enemy commanders will modify their offensive tactics at any time based on battlefield conditions.

    If we pile up defensive forces on one side, the other side will be attacked by the enemy's main force.  As long as one of these two defense points is breached, it will be extremely passive for us.

    So my suggestion is to maintain the current status.  In addition, troops will be mobilized from other areas to reinforce our defense on the west side.  "

    The officer under Isaiah hesitated and said, "But our troops are not large. This will inevitably weaken the defense of other positions."

    "You are right, but any defensive strategy is not static and must be adjusted according to the opponent's tactics.

    It¡¯s simple, just like a boxing match.  If the opponent wants to attack your head, you have to bend your elbows to protect your head.  If the opponent wants to attack your abdomen, then you have to put your hands down and block your chest and abdomen.

    You only have one pair of hands, so of course it is impossible to protect all the parts of your body that are being attacked, and you have to take out your hands to fight back.  In the same way, the other party only has two hands.  It is impossible to attack all parts of your body at the same time.

    Therefore, it is necessary to have a defensive focus and put the most important energy on the enemy's key attack positions.  "Isaiah took a deep breath, "The enemy's heavy artillery is not large in number, so it is never used during the day unless it is to cooperate with very important operations.

    I think the focus of their attack is likely to be the middle of our west defensive line.  Immediately pass on my order, and the defenders in several positions around the west side of the defense line will immediately send reinforcements to the west side of the defense line.  At the same time, the flanks of position 3 cannot be relaxed.  I want most of the troops to be concentrated at or around these two points.  "

      Although shelling was frequent, the rebels seemed to dare not approach, circling many times and not daring to launch a frontal charge.  Zheng further confirmed Isaiah's guess. He believed that the enemy was not showing restraint, but was waiting for a unified attack order, which showed that the enemy would soon launch a general attack.

    Under his command, the artillery of the Orumi Federation also began to bombard the rebels.  Some people and vehicles were hit by artillery fire from the Orumi federal army, and fireworks filled the air for a while.

    At this moment, the actuary general ordered the artillery troops to fight back with all their strength. He personally commanded on the position. It was a pleasure to listen to the rumbling sound of the artillery and see the fire-dragon-like shells exploding in the enemy's formation.

    Cannon howitzers fiercely bombarded several important strongholds of the Orumi federal army.  Not to be outdone, the Orumi federal army fired back with various artillery pieces. The shells flew like raindrops, and the sound of rumbling was endless.

    Until about 3 p.m., a group of armed soldiers approached the center position of the Orumi coalition.  Because most of the firefights were concentrated at two points, the Orumi federal soldiers who served as defenders in the middle had nothing to do.

    They thought this might be another of their own troops ordered to reinforce the flanks, and the vehicles had the logo of the Orumi Federal Army, so they did not attack.

    After getting closer, hundreds of mercenary members rushed out of these armed vehicles. While rushing to the position, they used vehicle-mounted machine guns to shoot and suppress them.  At the same time, the bombing at the other two locations became more intense.  This mysterious assault force is the mercenary force led by Lin Rui before.

    The officers and soldiers of the Orumi Federation's defenders fought back fiercely. They tried to rely on fortification bunkers to engage in fierce battles with these mercenaries, but these mercenaries were very experienced and did not give them time to stabilize their defenses.  They rushed to the position to pursue and fight fiercely, and attacked one of their battalion headquarters from the beginning.

    The Orumi federal army only held on for more than ten minutes before they gradually became exhausted and had to withdraw from their position and flee.  In this battle, Lin Rui and others killed more than 200 enemies in a surprise attack, and captured the southern center position of the Orumi Federal Forces within ten minutes.
