The Orumi Federal Army never imagined that while they were commanding a large number of troops to guard the western defense line and the flanks of Position 3, Lin Rui would lead the main force of the mercenary troops to attack from the southern middle where the defenders were weak, and smoothly Seized Position 2 in the south.
The occupation of Position 2 means the shift of the focus of the battlefield.
After Isaiah was shocked to hear the news, he immediately understood that he had been deceived and ordered the other departments to take strict precautions. The next day, Lin Rui and others launched an offensive again to the north. In conjunction with their artillery fire, they violently bombarded the Orumi Federation defenders on the position.
The commander of the Orumi Federal Army, Isaiah, even personally led the reinforcements to the position to supervise the battle. The federal defenders resisted tenaciously and repelled the charges of the mercenary troops again and again. Lin Rui's mercenaries fought bloody battles all day long, killing more than 400 enemies, but also suffered more than 300 casualties on their own side.
The mercenary troops made repeated attacks from the front, but all failed. But the Orumi Federation defenders were already suffering terribly. Although they had built strong positions along the east and west sides of Paramore City, they were in a stalemate with the enemy.
But now Position 2 is also lost. This was a main position that was originally built using several commanding heights. Many foxholes and light and heavy machine gun fortifications were also built, and various obstacles such as barbed wire were pulled up. Now these have become a nightmare for them during their counterattack.
The rebel artillery continued to fire at the Orumi federal troops. When federal troops attempted to counterattack and retake Position 2, they were often hit by artillery fire from the opponent.
Because the nearby commanding heights fell into the hands of the rebels, an observation post of the rebels was set up to continuously indicate targets to the artillery units and violently bombard the positions of the Orumi federal defenders.
After the Orumi Federation defenders figured out the rules, they also learned the lesson. When the enemy's artillery fire was fierce, only a few soldiers were left to observe and monitor, while the rest of the troops went into fortifications to hide. When the sound of artillery was sparse and the rebel army on the opposite side approached the position, they fought back.
In addition to the attacks by Lin Rui and others, the rebel army also made large-scale attacks on the other two main attack points many times. The number of troops usually increased and decreased, and sporadic shelling continued. The Orumi federal army never dared to relax. The defenders responded calmly and repelled several charging enemies.
Unwilling to retreat to Position 2, Lin Rui charged the enemy again. After the first artillery bombardment, the mercenaries used Xu Jin's barrage cover, and the infantry group cooperated with combat vehicles to launch another charge. Lin Rui personally led more than 800 mercenaries and desperately tore through the enemy's defense line.
The defenders fought back fiercely with machine guns and grenades, but due to their spread of forces, they were gradually exhausted. The battlefield was stained with blood and littered with corpses. The tide of mercenaries attacked again and again. Gradually, these Orumi Federation defenders lost confidence.
Amidst the roaring sound of artillery, a thick fog-like smoke screen covered the sky, and the mercenary troops advanced in waves like water. At this time, a fortress of the defenders was collapsed by a rocket, with a loud bang, and many soldiers were buried alive inside.
This important firepower point was destroyed, and the mercenaries finally rushed forward to attack the enemy's last line of defense on the outskirts of Paramore City.
The Orumi federal troops lost their will to fight and had already begun to retreat. Suddenly facing an overwhelming mercenary force, most of them turned around and ran away. The remaining ones who didn't understand the situation and were still at a loss were taken prisoner.
At this point, the town of Mevaji on the southern outskirts of Paramore fell into the hands of the rebels. This equals the gate to the south of Paramore being opened.
After receiving the report that the enemy had occupied the town of Mevaji, Isaiah was taken aback and fell directly on his chair. "The enemy occupies Mevaji and may get behind our army at any time. The entire army is in danger of being surrounded by the enemy!"
The situation is urgent and is already at a critical moment. Isaiah immediately sent two of his staff officers by car to reconnoiter the situation, and at the same time dispatched a battalion to quickly rush to the town of Mevaji, not to destroy the enemy, but to hold the door.
But shortly after the car of his two men exited, it was immediately intercepted and killed by Campbell's troops of the rebel army. After a burst of intensive shooting, the driver died on the spot and the two officers were injured.
The rebel soldiers found a map on the injured Orumi federal officer and immediately reported it to Campbell. Campbell didn't dare to hesitate and immediately had the map delivered to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui looked at it and shook his head, "It seems that they know they can't hold it anymore and plan to retreat. They plan to abandon all current positions and withdraw to the city, and send another battalion to ambush and delay us. They want to use Paramore City to follow We fight a tough street battle.¡±
"Then, shall we pursue him?" Scarface asked.
"No, there is no point in pursuing them. The enemy troops are retreating towards the city from several directions, and other brother troops will pursue them as appropriate. Even if we rush up now, we will be blocked by the enemy troops.The interception troops blocked it. Notify other units first and gradually take over the enemy's positions. There is no need to rush into redeployment and rest. Lin Rui replied.
"Boss, our time is very tight. If we delay it any longer, reinforcements from others may arrive at any time." Kuai Ma was a little worried.
"I know, so we can't be anxious. We can't crush ourselves before the enemy is defeated." Lin Rui nodded and said, "Let the brothers have a good rest. Tomorrow will be a life and death battle."
"But why don't we take advantage of the situation and pursue it?" Shutter frowned.
"Because the effect is not good." Lin Rui turned his head, "Have you noticed a characteristic of the enemy's defense? They set up defensive positions near the outskirts of the city. Because they did not have time to set up too many defenses in such a short period of time. . Most of them use existing houses, ditches, and farmland in the suburbs to build simple fortifications.
This shows that they do not have many fortifications in the urban area. If they want to fight street fighting, they need barricades. An effective defense and counterattack system needs to be established. And they are also afraid that we will take advantage of the situation to pursue them, so they will definitely send troops to defend themselves. Anyway, they are busy tonight.
We will simply keep them busy, and then launch the offensive in the early morning of tomorrow, when they are most tired. And our offensive position is not here tomorrow. "
"What do you mean?" Shutter hesitated.
"We cannot let others guess our thoughts. We have occupied the town of Mevaji in the southern suburbs. According to general ideas, we will definitely use this town as a basis to continue our offensive.
The enemy must have thought so too, but we had to surprise them. Let the brothers have a good meal and then rest well. At midnight, we gathered and set out, joined Kasan's troops, and launched the offensive in the early morning. Lin Rui smiled slightly and said, "Make sure we are always outside the enemy's speculation range." "
