After General Hassan's troops arrived, they had already taken up positions one after another. They occupied two small cities and used part of their troops to coordinate with the mercenaries of Lin Rui and others to maintain contact with the invading Orumi federal troops and harass the enemy in a guerrilla manner. .
In addition, some local guerrillas also joined the troops of General Quinn and General Hassan.
Lin Rui and the actuary moved to the shore, built the favorable terrain on the east side into the main decisive battle position, built strong and deep fortifications at various key points of the position, and alerted the Orumi federal army to the east, while conducting guerrilla raids.
Lin Rui is very sorry that a batch of helicopters they purchased from Europe through Aladdin have not yet arrived and cannot be used at the critical moment.
If these helicopters are here, not to mention how much aerial firepower they can provide, at least they won¡¯t have to worry so much about the surrounding reconnaissance work.
General Hassan¡¯s main force is deployed on the northeastern front, with strong fortifications set up at several strategic points. This is the key point for the Orumi federal army¡¯s attack.
They must be on high alert against the Orumi federal army invading from the northeast outside the main position on the east side. Two local guerrilla groups were also under their command.
General Quinn is gathering in the main position on the east side. This is a main force. It is the old reserve force that Quinn brought from Morocco. It is more capable than half of the troops. More than a thousand mercenary troops were also deployed with them.
Lin Rui led the advisory team to inspect the defense status of various positions. His overall view of the layout showed that it was not impeccable, and the defenses on the southeastern front line were still weak. However, their troops were limited and the front was too long, leaving them with no better way.
It is true that they still have some troops on hand, but the actuary does not agree with pulling this unit up. Such a large-scale battle will not work without a heavy reserve force on hand.
With many years of battlefield experience, unless all the troops are exhausted, any battle without reserve troops will be difficult to fight. Moreover, they are fighting against the Orumi Federation Army, which has a relatively strong combat effectiveness. The actuary is right to be cautious.
The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and anything can happen. It is beneficial to have an extra hand.
General Quinn also went to the front line. The loss of the 2nd Company made him heartbroken. However, the troops who withdrew, from captains to ordinary soldiers, were not depressed and were still full of fighting spirit. It is indeed a unit that has experienced several major battles, and its spirit is commendable.
However, it was heartbreaking. Everywhere he went, General Quinn still had to explain to the commanders below, emphasizing that he must obey orders completely. This time they adopted an offensive defense rather than a defensive defense.
Offensive defense is to defend first and then attack. The defense is to consume the effective strength of the Orumi federal army, and the attack is to further annihilate most or all of the enemy's effective strength.
The actuary general took advantage of the surrounding favorable terrain and arranged a bag-shaped position. Hold on to three points as the support points for the two flanks.
It is expected that the main attack direction of the Orumi Federal Army will be in the Highway 7 area. Since they are equipped with a certain number of armored vehicles, only this area is conducive to their attack.
Therefore, Actuary Shogan believes that infantry artillery and rocket launchers should be concentrated on both sides of Highway 7, and a few more lines of defense positions should be prepared in a flexible and mobile way. After each line of defense achieves its intended purpose, it can be moved in camera, rather than attrition. Instead, it lures the enemy deeper.
As long as a few important support points are not lost, the reserve corps that will then serve as cover can take action. It is possible to concentrate superior forces in a small area to surround and annihilate the enemy.
The Orumi federal army was blocked by militia and mercenary troops at the same time. For a moment, the sound of gunfire was earth-shattering, the roaring sound of explosions echoed over the earth, dense shells pierced the sky, and the soaring fire dyed the night sky red.
The Orumi federal army advanced rapidly under the cover of ground armor and infantry support weapons. General Quinn's troops used companies and battalions as combat units to block the attack at all levels.
The advance team of the Orumi Federal Army was the 1st Battalion led by Major Gerald. They fought fiercely with the defenders of a company of General Quinn's troops for a whole morning, and then captured the position. All the soldiers guarding the position fled, and then fought again. Withdraw one company from the second line of defense.
The battle report sent back from the front line made Gerald, the commander of the 1st Battalion, very happy. According to this situation, the militia is a militia. Their fighting will is not high, and the entire progress is smoother than expected.
The Orumi Federal Army Command also concluded that this battle would be effortless. So the headquarters ordered Gerald, who was in the advance team, to quickly expand the results without any worries.
Cooperate with the adjacent detachment to encircle the enemy from the north and eliminate the front-line resistance of General Quinn's troops on the west line of Kilometer 7. And this line is General Hassan¡¯s line of defense.?
In order to curb the offensive momentum of the Orumi Federal Army, General Hassan ordered his main force to dispatch to suppress the current Orumi Federal Army. All members entered the temporarily constructed position and started a fierce battle with the enemy troops.
The position was blown to the ground, the surrounding area was turned into scorched earth, and the gravel-covered land was burning.
In order to avoid the enemy's artillery bombardment, Hassan ordered the entire army to advance and engage the enemy in close combat, so that the Orumi federal army's artillery fire could not play a role. So a close fight began, with gunshots, explosions, and shouts of killing.
The 1st Brigade of the Orumi Federal Army was suppressed, and they then retreated to the high ground on the south side of the road to defend themselves.
But this position is quite sensitive. The high ground directly controls the main road of attack. Without this high ground, the follow-up troops will not be able to pass, and even our own troops will not be able to move.
The militia troops then received orders from General Hassan to retake the southern highlands at all costs. General Hassan ordered a death squad to be organized immediately, and under the cover of artillery fire, a battle began.
More than 200 combatants from the mercenary force cooperated with Hassan¡¯s death squad operations. Under the fierce bombardment of artillery fire, relying on the cover of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns on the flanks, they charged bravely and broke into the enemy's position for a while.
Relying on the superior firepower of armored vehicles, the Orumi federal army launched a confrontation with the militia troops that broke into the position, and just pushed back the assaulting death squads.
The militia death squads retreated from the enemy positions and could only organize artillery and rain down mortars on the positions. With a burst of explosions, another charge was launched.
This piece of highland changed hands several times, and after repeated battles, it was finally completely occupied by the Orumi federal forces. Death squads and 200 mercenaries, almost no survivors.
An important tactical point was occupied by the enemy. General Hassan's troops were in a serious situation. The troops holding on to the position repeatedly asked for reinforcements.
General Hassan was so anxious that he asked the troops to hold on for the last five minutes and ordered a battalion to fire reinforcements quickly. At the same time, Lin Rui immediately ordered artillery to provide fire support.
