- Lin Rui and others finally ushered in the dark. The terrorists of the Jihad Alliance spent a whole day but failed to capture Metmalfaq. peripheral positions.
Seeing that it was getting dark, the situation became even more unfavorable for the attacking troops. The jihadi alliance finally gave up its offensive operations and the two sides temporarily ceased fire.
On the outer position of Matt Malfague, Lin Rui took advantage of the darkness to check the defense situation on the position.
Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time. But the loss of the Western Sahara Local Armed Alliance still made Lin Rui feel quite disappointed.
Many of them are local armed forces. To put it bluntly, they are guerrillas who have never fought any major battles. Quite uncomfortable with such large-scale battles.
Coupled with low combat effectiveness, the losses of the troops were quite serious. The Eighth Company, which encountered the strongest offensive, still lost more than half of its troops with the strong support of the Sixth Company.
And this eighth company, which belongs to the second battalion, can be regarded as one of the most capable troops under Hassan.
"Rick, we can't go on like this. The human losses and ammunition consumption are too great. We have indeed blocked the enemy, but if the consumption continues like this, we won't be able to hold on for long.
You understand, I am not referring to the troops being wiped out, but the outer positions being lost.
Once the outer defense line is breached, we will have no choice but to retreat to the city and engage in street fighting with the enemy. The enemy's strength advantage can be fully utilized. General Hassan was worried.
"I understand. So the outer positions cannot be lost. We can retreat to the second line of defense, or even shrink to the third defensive position, but we must not lose the outer positions." Lin Rui nodded.
¡°But this is tantamount to a disguised refueling tactic. We continue to add troops to the front line and are constantly being consumed.
¡°And we also face the problem of insufficient ammunition reserves.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????. If this continues, it will be a matter of time before the outer positions are lost.
We have to take the initiative. General Hassan paced back and forth.
"How to seize the initiative?" Actuarial Shogi shook his head and said, "As you said, we do not have an advantage in terms of troops and firepower, and we also have to face the problem of insufficient ammunition.
It is quite unwise to take the initiative to defend under such circumstances. Our best solution at the moment is to rely on our current defensive positions and delay as long as possible.
"Waiting for the crystal's equipment and ammunition to arrive, so that we can at least ensure that Matemafaq is not lost.
What we urgently need now is not how to counterattack the enemy, but how to defend this place. "
"But defending is not an option. If we wear out all our troops here, can Matmalfagor still be able to defend?"
The Second Battalion is my most capable unit. They have fought many battles with me. I specially transferred their best Eighth Company to defend the most critical parts.
But as a result, the Eighth Company was crippled in one fell swoop, and the Sixth Company sent to support suffered considerable losses. But we just blocked the enemy, that's all.
Although we also caused a considerable amount of damage to the enemy. But their military strength is also superior to ours, and they can afford losses. And they also have tons of armor and artillery.
I was just thinking, what if we use up all the troops that can fight? What about the next battle?
Are there other units of the local armed alliance? Although we mixed them together, their combat effectiveness is still worrying.
"Don't say you don't like them, even my troops don't like them. It's okay to let them assist in defense, but I don't think there is much hope in letting them mainly defend against the enemy. "General Hassan was a little depressed.
"Be patient, General Hassan. Although the current situation is not good for us, it is not desperate yet.
No matter at any time, as a commander, you should not have such a mentality. The Eighth Company and Sixth Company were withdrawn first to allow them to replenish and rest.
Replace with our people, plus some local alliance troops. Let¡¯s get through this period first. "Lin Rui shook his head.
"We still have a few helicopters, otherwise we will let them join the battle tomorrow to cover our ground defense." General Hassan looked at Lin Rui and said.
"This is not a good idea. None of our helicopters are armed helicopters. They are just transport helicopters equipped with a door machine gun.
The opponent's individual air defense missiles are not vegetarian. And those armored vehicles, the enemy's armored vehicles, have certain air defense capabilities.
Our helicopters may come in handy for night reconnaissance or something. If you really want to go to the battlefield, there will be no good results."" Lin Rui shook his head. "But don't worry, I have other plans tonight." "
"Any other arrangements?" General Hassan looked at him.
"I have already arranged a separate mission with Sausage on this matter. I don't know if you have noticed that several of the enemy's attacks today were launched based on the sand dunes at this location.
There is a sand dune on this side of the position, which is exactly in the blind spot of our firepower. Every time they can launch an attack calmly from here, and they can regroup here when they retreat. Lin Rui pointed at the map and said.
"I noticed it too. Judging from the satellite image, this is not a temporary sand dune. Because the shape of the sand dune is pyramid-shaped." Actuary Masakih replied.
¡°Sand dunes can be divided into crescent-shaped dunes and longitudinal sand ridges in terms of shape.
Crescent-shaped sand dunes are also called transverse sand dunes. The plane is like a crescent moon, and the direction is perpendicular or greater than 60 degrees to the wind direction. The windward slope is a convex slope and is relatively gentle. The leeward slope is a concave slope and is relatively steep.
This type of sand dune will move in the direction of the wind.
The direction of the longitudinal sand ridge is basically the same as the direction of the wind, generally less than 30 degrees. Spread in long strips, up to dozens of kilometers long. It also changes with the wind.
Only this kind of star-shaped or pyramid-shaped sand dune is in the shape of a polygonal star on the plan. This kind of sand dune moves side by side or moves very slowly, so it is also called fixed sand dune and has become a road sign for desert travelers.
Judging from our current satellite images, the sand dune over there is a fixed sand dune. Due to geographical reasons, there is a layer of salt crust on the surface of such dunes, which does not cause displacement under the influence of wind.
The enemy used this fixed sand dune as a launching point and assembly point for the attack. It does have a certain impact on us. "
"No wonder every time we beat them back, they quickly regrouped and attacked again." General Hassan also nodded.
"So we have to take advantage of tonight to prepare some surprises for our enemies." Lin Rui pointed at the map with his finger. "I have ordered the sausage men to prepare a large amount of explosives. They will ambush in this area under the cover of night.
"When the enemy launches their offensive tomorrow, we will give them a blow." By the way, blow up this dune too.
It makes it difficult for the enemy to get effective cover and is exposed to our long-range firepower. That's what you want, a relatively aggressive defense. "
