The offensive of the troops of the Western Sahara Popular Front was quite fierce. Taking advantage of the early raids and shelling, they quickly advanced in the northern suburbs of Saslimi and were close to the urban area of ??Saslimi.
This point was indeed beyond everyone¡¯s expectations. Both Lin Rui and the Red Baron were a little surprised.
But if you think about it carefully, it¡¯s actually normal. First, they have the advantage of surprise attack and artillery cover. Secondly, the armed forces of Saslimi's secret society. I didn't put much energy into defense in the first place.
Because they are too strong, the armed forces in Western Sahara. Few can compete with them. They chose Saslim as their base camp because of their offensive needs.
Therefore, this place is not regarded as a stronghold with long-term strategic significance. Many fortifications are almost temporary enough to meet basic needs.
The troops of the Western Sahara Popular Front have been held back for too long. Now it's like a tiger that has been released from its cage, biting madly at the secret society's armed defense line.
¡°And these Western Sahara Popular Front troops are almost all composed of local people from Western Sahara, many of whom are guerrillas.
They are very good at team combat, and the mercenary guidance team sent by Lin Rui gave them reasonable command.
As a result, each team learned to protect and cooperate with each other, making this team, which was not originally very powerful, become quite difficult to deal with.
The armed forces of the secret society spent a lot of effort to withstand their attack. A relatively solid defense line was established on the north side of the city.
What really puzzles the Red Baron is that there has been no movement in the south of Saslim.
"Baron, our reconnaissance force conducted a comprehensive reconnaissance in the southern area and found no signs of the enemy's presence.
Instead, they found a considerable number of enemy troops in the northwest. " Strategist Kenichi Kagawa reports to Red Baron.
"What? Northwest? How many are there?" The Red Baron was quite surprised.
¡°The current number is unknown, and they have taken the initiative to attack us many times. Although the number of troops invested each time is not large, they are always covered by artillery fire.
It seems that we intend to cannibalize our front-line defense force in the northwest. After all, we do not have many manpower deployed there, and our firepower is average. ¡± Reported by Kenichi Kagawa.
"The northwestthis should not be the mercenary troops, the direction is wrong. If it is the offensive launched by the mercenaries and militia, they should be in the nearest south.
????????????????????????????????????????¡ It was impossible to go around in a circle and attack our northwest side. "The Red Baron paced. "It's totally unreasonable to do this. "
¡°I think so too, but Baron, do you think this could be the local armed forces of Semamite.
The timing of their attack was too accurate. Could it be because the local troops in Semamit noticed that we were going to attack them.
So we identified this point and united with the troops of the Popular Front of Western Sahara to launch an offensive against us. " asked Kenichi Kagawa.
"This is simply impossible. According to our previous intelligence, there is not much contact between the local armed forces in Semamit and the troops of the Popular Front of Western Sahara. How can they possibly operate together?
To take a step back, even if they both get together to carry out joint operations. With the Semamit militia, even with the assistance of the Western Sahara People's Political Front, they cannot pose a great threat to us.
How dare they take the initiative to attack us? Something is definitely not right here. "The Red Baron paced back and forth.
¡°I¡¯m also surprised that those local armed forces don¡¯t have much strength at all, but now it seems that they have very strong backup.
Judging from the intelligence they just received, they were often covered by heavy shelling before and after launching their offensive. This is not the fighting style of the militia and guerrillas. It is obviously the coordinated fighting style of the regular army with infantry and artillery. "Kenichi Kagawa frowned.
"Infantry and artillery coordination, regular army style of play the troops invested each time are not very many. Could this be a small reconnaissance force, its role is to provide artillery bombardment coordinates for subsequent artillery." The Red Baron suddenly said.
"Baron, what you mean is that the small-scale harassment we discovered before was actually a reconnaissance team, and they were providing artillery coordinates for subsequent artillery units.
But usually this situation only occurs on the enemy's main offensive position. Before a large-scale infantry charge, precise cover is required. "Kenichi Kagawa was surprised. "Do you mean"
?"Since we have determined that Semamit's militia forces are not capable of launching a separate offensive against us, then we might as well think about it from another angle.
¡°What if they don¡¯t rely on themselves alone? What if they have the support of mercenaries or even Moroccan troops behind them?
This can explain why they dare to come, because they have a backer behind them. Notify our troops and continue to pay attention to the situation on the northwest side. Report any news to me immediately. "The Red Baron shouted immediately.
"Yes, Baron." Seeing the Red Baron being so nervous, Kagawa Kenichi did not dare to neglect.
Soon the investigators of the secret society¡¯s armed forces sent in intelligence.
The offensive on the northwest side of Sasilimi is becoming more and more intense, and the focus of the battle is showing signs of shifting to the northwest side of Saslimi.
And the enemy's artillery fire became more and more accurate, targeting multiple fortifications on the northwest side. and heavy firepower points were all hit by enemy artillery fire.
Kagawa Kenichi frowned and said, "In this way, everything is correct. The so-called small-scale attacks our army encountered before should be enemy reconnaissance troops.
They are conducting fire line reconnaissance, figuring out our defensive firepower, and then using precision artillery to destroy our defense facilities. To facilitate large-scale infantry charge and advance. "
¡°If that¡¯s the case, then we have two questions. Who is cooperating with those Semamite militia forces to fight.
¡°Are it those mercenaries or other armed forces trying to take advantage of us? "The Red Baron lowered his voice.
"Other armed forces? Baron, you don't suspect that Moroccan troops participated in the attack, do you?" Kagawa Kenichi was stunned.
"Why is it impossible? The Moroccans are the real reinforcements, much stronger than those mercenary troops. Such fierce shelling, such typical infantry tactics.
We have enough reasons to suspect that Moroccans were involved in this operation. Don't forget that the Moroccans are not fools. They must have noticed our intention to attack Semamit.
It is very likely that it was because of this that they united with the local militants in Semamit, and in their name, contacted the Western Sahara Popular Front to act together. "The Red Baron sneered.
