On the 12th, the dry wind and sand in Western Sahara rolled in again. The Jihadi Alliance's offensive finally began.
The first to engage the enemy was General Hassan¡¯s troops. Without any warning, the armored vehicle surprise attack of the Jihad Alliance took advantage of the wind and sand and arrived in an instant.
They were first spotted by a patrol. While they were on normal patrol, several armored vehicles rose up from behind a sand dune at the same time, roaring and approaching them.
With the roar of the machine cannon on the armored vehicle, the light rain of death poured down violently.
The patrolling soldier didn't have time to think about it, turned the front of the car and fled. The wheels brought up a large cloud of sand, and the vehicle-mounted cannon that followed behind him shot a long series of dark pits into the ground behind him.
This patrol car was hit by gunfire from another armored vehicle before it even had time to accelerate.
The patrol car disintegrated immediately and turned into a mass of charred wreckage in the violent explosion.
The explosion alerted the defenders outside Metmalfag, and the news quickly spread to the headquarters.
Lin Rui raised his hand, looked at his hand and said expressionlessly, "It's time for the enemy's attack. Order all troops to enter a defensive state."
"Attention, Second Battalion, the enemy is currently on your left front. I ask you all to enter defensive positions. Do not engage in firefights with the enemy at long distances.
Their armored vehicles have too much firepower. Everyone entered defensive positions and relied on defensive facilities to fight back. "The actuary Jiang An is responsible for organizing and scheduling.
"General Hassan, please confirm again after receiving the order." Lin Rui picked up the communicator.
"Preparations are complete, the second battalion has entered the designated area. All other troops are in place and on standby. The order is received and it is over." Hassan responded decisively.
Before he finished speaking, there were several huge explosions. More than a dozen firelights drew tracks in the sky. Landed on the forward position. There was a loud explosion.
"The enemy's recoilless guns are used to cover the charge of armored vehicles. They are usually used for anti-armor. When they fire them at this time, they should be using smoke bombs to cover the charge of armored vehicles." The actuary replied.
This kind of recoil rifle can be fired with a bipod support or can be fired from a vehicle. The calculationr's judgment was very correct. These Jihadist Alliance troops used the smoke released by the smoke bombs to cover their armored vehicles. charge.
"The wind direction is just right. It seems that they are an expert in commanding the battle. Let the brothers take cover and attack when ordered.
The anti-tank ditch in front was enough for him to block them for a while. "Lin Rui nodded.
Actuary Jiang An agreed. Still let our soldiers strictly guard their positions. Not aggressive.
The armored vehicles of the Jihad Alliance are getting closer and closer, and the armed trucks behind the armored vehicles can be seen, as well as the soldiers moving behind the armed trucks.
The anti-tank trenches arranged in advance had a surprisingly good effect. Coupled with the smoke screen, the armored vehicle driver's sight was also affected to a certain extent.
At that time, several vehicles were loaded into the anti-tank trench.
Because what these terrorists have are not serious tanks, but some lightly armored wheeled armored combat vehicles.
Therefore, these wheeled armors are more likely to fall into anti-tank trenches than tracked tanks.
And because of the tracks, the tank falls into the anti-tank trench. Usually the front half goes over and the rear of the vehicle sinks into the trench.
But wheeled armored vehicles are different. The wheeled armored vehicles fell into the anti-tank ditch, with their heads down and their rear wheels hanging in the air.
Once it falls, there is almost no way to get out except using a crane.
In desert areas, sometimes when encountering soft sand, even the tires of normal driving will be trapped in the sand. Not to mention digging such a wide trench.
The trench is four to five meters wide, and even a car cannot pass through it. The infantry following behind were even more helpless. Unless they were willing to jump into the trench and climb up the other side.
But the trench with a height of two and a half meters is really not something that ordinary people can climb.
So the scene suddenly changed from a formation to a charge. Get messy. Several wheeled armored vehicles that were originally leading the way were hit one after another.
Those with better luck fell headlong into the anti-tank trench and never got up again. With little luck, a mine buried in an anti-tank trench was triggered, causing a muffled explosion.
"It's time to order General Hassan's 2nd and 3rd Battalions to hold the anti-tank trench and do their best to delay the enemy.
In addition, other troops should be prepared to meet the enemy. Let the artillery attack their follow-up units to completely interrupt and hinder them. "Lin Rui ordered in a deep voice."Understood." The actuary turned around and ordered.
After the armored vehicle fell, other combat vehicles of the Jihad Alliance. Not daring to approach the anti-tank trench, they fired recklessly beside the trench.
While trying to find ways, he put down the towing rope and tried to pull out the armored vehicle stuck in the trench.
But now the armored vehicles in the trenches are too heavy to be pulled by small armed trucks.
And the artillery fire from Lin Rui's side also began to cover it. A round of rocket attacks sent these terrorists flying.
The first to show off their power were the homemade artillery pieces. A simple rocket launched from an iron frame. Continuously fired, it exploded into pieces near the anti-tank ditch.
The armed vehicle that tried to use a towing rope to pull the armored vehicle out of the trench suffered heavy losses.
Other homemade mortars also began to roar. The heartless cannon made of gasoline barrels exploded loudly.
The burning explosives went directly into the enemy's camp with an astonishing momentum, sending smoke everywhere. The various metal fragments added to the explosive bag scatter in all directions, and the lethality is not bad.
The most terrifying thing is those gas tank bombs, which are made of small gas tanks and filled with a large amount of explosives.
And the surface of the gas tank has been pre-cut with metal tools to form grooves, and the front end is used as a mortar fuse.
Once it explodes, the gas tank will explode along the pre-cut groove, causing a large number of fragments to cause damage.
The huge roar and shock caused by the explosion confused the terrorists of the Jihad Alliance. It was the Moroccan air force that came to support and dropped aerial bombs.
The scene immediately got out of control, and vehicles and people fled in large numbers. This wave of attacks by the Jihad Alliance lasted only ten minutes.
Everything they had done went very smoothly before. The wheeled armored vehicles charged first, and the formation was also organized quite well.
And when approaching the position, a large number of smoke bombs were fired from the recoilless rifle. Used to cover armored vehicle charges. It was on this anti-tank trench that we encountered a major setback.
Not only was the advance of the armored vehicle blocked, the troops that followed up were violently bombarded by unknown artillery fire. Moreover, it is difficult to carry out a normal charge across a trench four to five meters wide.
This time the attack was fierce, and they were beaten into a mess, and they evacuated hastily. Like a sandstorm in the desert, it comes and goes quickly.
