Originally, tonight's attack was all planned by Lin Rui, but something unexpected happened, and the Anmore Army's transport convoy was in serious trouble.
As the Anmor Army prepared to launch a large-scale combat operation in Ackerman, General Kasan secretly organized a large number of vehicles to transport weapons, equipment, ammunition and other military supplies. Although they had taken sufficient precautions, the transport fleet still suffered a sudden attack. The desert was originally a place where bandits were rampant, and the armed bandits who attacked them had a clear combat purpose. They were not to rob supplies, but to delay the journey of the transport convoy as much as possible, allowing them to advance slowly and carefully in the desert, so as to achieve the goal of letting the bandits move. The purpose of Ackerman's Anmor army being in trouble.
It can be inferred from this that Ruvel may have anticipated the existence of the Anmore Army, and has been silently carrying out plans to drain the firepower. His tacit cooperation with some local armed and disguised bandits is undoubtedly a great benefit to the Anmore Army. A huge threat.
Of course, Kasan could not let this bad situation happen, so he took the risk and organized a fast transportation team to boldly cross the desert bandit-ridden area.
As a result, they were attacked by bandits. The Anmol Army was well prepared, and the transport convoy was equipped with enough armored vehicles and vehicle-mounted mortars. After a bloody battle, they repelled the bandits' attack, destroyed more than ten captured bandits' vehicles, and won a complete victory.
Unfortunately, during the battle, an Anmor Army soldier was too nervous and misread the target. He only fired one mortar shell at his vehicle. The hit rate of the mortar was originally very low, but However, this shell actually hit the target accurately. The unlucky target vehicle was caught off guard and was immediately blown to pieces. If only one transport truck was lost, that would be it. But the load on that vehicle was all 152mm cannon howitzer shells. As a result, hundreds of 152mm artillery shells were all sunk and exploded in one shot. It was too late to save him, and a large area of ??surrounding vehicles was overturned.
Regarding this matter, the commander of the transportation force could only sigh and had nothing to say.
Lin Rui walked back and forth for a few steps and took a deep breath. Shen Sheng asked: "How many 152mm artillery shells do we have now?"
The commander of the artillery unit said a little bitterly: "Less than sixty rounds, about five rounds per gun."
Lin Rui looked at the Orumi federal army camp in the distance with sharp eyes and said nothing for a long time. The camp of the Orumi Federal Army is a standard old-fashioned fortress. Although it is not a reinforced concrete structure, it is all made of huge granite stones. It is still very solid. Without enough artillery fire, it is really difficult to tear it apart. not easy.
Although the number of 152mm artillery shells is insufficient, the logistics supplies transported by the transport troops to the Anmol Army are still sufficient. The main weapons and equipment include 600 spare AK series rifles and machine guns, 300 mortar shells, and several Thousands of grenades and thousands of boxes of machine gun and rifle bullets. This is enough to equip a regular army, but the Anmore Army cannot currently consume so many weapons and ammunition. Even if some of the weapons and equipment have to be freed up for Atli's troops, that would be enough.
An Anmore officer said tentatively: "The transport team has been transporting more artillery shells from the rear as quickly as possible. It will take about four days to arrive"
Lin Rui slowly shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's too late."
It will only take at most two days for the support troops of the Orumi Federal Army to reach the northwest of Ackerman. If the enemy fortress cannot be captured as soon as possible, the Anmor army will be in a situation of being attacked from both sides, which is very dangerous.
The officer stopped talking. He actually knew in his heart that the enemy and themselves were now racing against time.
Ruvel is waiting for reinforcements from the Orumi Federal Army to arrive as soon as possible. Launching a more intense counterattack, the Anmor Army aims to clear out Ruvel's remaining forces as quickly as possible and expel them from Ackerman. According to the original plan. The Anmor Army will launch a full-scale attack in half an hour, using heavy artillery fire to clear the defenses of the fortress and clear the way for the Anmor Army. But now that there are not enough shells, how will the plan proceed?
"The attack must continue as usual. We must attack even without the cover of artillery." Lin Rui said decisively, clenching his fist vigorously.
According to the information provided by the intelligence department, the current situation in Ankwe is actually not optimistic. To the southeast of Ankwe, the elite troops of the Orumi Federal Army are constantly concentrating on the northern border. A large number of troops have been concentrated in various strategic points including the Lion Fortress. Although intelligence shows that the main target of the Orumi federal army should be the Songshi Town area, no one can guarantee whether these troops will advance.He quickly organized his thoughts and said in a low and calm voice: "The Orumi Federal Army has set up very complete fortifications here. All the roads that can be used there have been blown up and demolished, and they have also used big guns to Stones were piled up into a stone wall six to seven meters high, and garrison troops were stationed on it. Our convoy could not approach smoothly at all. There were also six cannons on the enemy fortress whose muzzles were pointed specifically at this bottleneck entrance. Under the blockade of artillery fire, , it is difficult for our troops to enter, and even if they enter, they will not be able to get out, because the terrain here is narrow and there is no scope for large troops to just turn around"
Seeing Lin Rui's face becoming more and more gloomy, but he didn't seem to listen, the staff officer of Anmol Army swallowed quietly and ended his suggestion with a concluding sentence: "Of course the enemy is also worried that we will copy He has a way out, so he has done a lot of preparation"
Lin Rui was unmoved as expected. He slightly raised his head and looked at the roof, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he slowly said: "What are our difficulties? List them one by one. Maybe there is a solution." It can be solved.¡±
The Anmol staff officer sighed lightly, knowing that Lin Rui would never give up easily, so he could only say as cautiously as possible: "First, there must be a strong assault force that can withstand a certain number of large-caliber artillery shells. It is possible to cross this mountain pass only by paying a certain amount of casualties in an attack. However, the armored forces we can currently use are all light infantry fighting vehicles, and we do not have such solid armor and tanks;
Second, our commander must have enough courage and guts, and also have enough skills, to be able to successfully command the convoy to enter the Moais Pass, because the entrance here is too small and narrow, and it is not possible to enter casually. , you will be blocked by the enemy on the way if you are not careful.
Third, even if we can successfully enter the Moais Pass, there is no way to launch an effective offensive there, because not only are there terrain restrictions, but the stone wall built by the enemy is a natural barrier that cannot be climbed, and there are Enemy garrison;
Fourth, and most importantly, no unit can cut into that position when being attacked from two or even three sides by enemies from behind and from the front. Faced with an attack by tens of thousands of enemies, we will be wiped out in a short period of time. . "
Lin Rui listened quietly, lowered his head and slowly walked to the door, quietly looking at the distant enemy fortress. There, it was pitch black, like a calm but open mouth. Net, the night was deep, waiting for the Anmor army to fall into the net.
The Anmol staff officer took a deep breath, walked to Lin Rui, and said sincerely: "Sir, I suggest that we wait until our transport troops bring the artillery shells before we launch an attack. Even if the Orumi Federation has been in the past two days, The army's reinforcements will arrive, but we rely on the favorable terrain of Ackerman Prison, and they can't do anything to us. We can use the favorable terrain there to consume a large amount of their effective forces, and then launch a counterattack"
Lin Rui turned around gently, waved his hand gently, and interrupted him. His voice was not high but he looked very determined: "No, we must launch an attack tonight. Go and prepare the troops immediately, and at the same time order the troops to do what they want to do." Be prepared for any battle.
I will personally lead three companies into the Moais Pass and cut the opening. You will be responsible for leading other troops to attack according to the original plan. Our goal remains unchanged, but I am determined to trap these enemy troops in their fortress"
