Chapter 1,230 The Battle of Ackermann
Lin Rui and Actuary Jiang An conducted a detailed study and decided to rely on Ackerman's existing buildings and terrain conditions to block the attack.
There are not many tall buildings in Ackerman in the northwest and west, but there are two very tall and strong churches. These are products of the colonial era, and these churches are made of marble and granite as their basic structures. They are very solid and have large basements. Around the church, there are some scattered residential areas.
Perhaps because of their location in the suburbs, in order to prevent sporadic bandit attacks, the main structures of these houses are also stone, which is relatively strong. Therefore, the Anmore Army decided to rely on these stone churches and stone houses to form the skeleton of the defensive position, and equip them with Heavy machine guns and mortars form an indestructible fire support point.
To the north of Ackerman is a solid fort with a dangerous terrain. Unless the Orumi federal army can make a risky breakthrough like Lin Rui, it will basically be impossible to capture the fortress under the gunfire of the Anmore army. It's impossible. To the south is Ackerman Prison. Using this prison as a cover, the machine gun firepower of the Anmol Army can also control most of the passages through Ackerman in the south.
Therefore, Ackerman¡¯s north and south sides are not very dangerous, and the most difficult thing is the frontal position. The terrain there is flat and there are no commanding heights. Once the two churches are captured, the Anmor army will be forced to retreat and be separated from the north to the south. They will only be able to stand firm in the fortress or Ackermann Prison and wait for reinforcements.
In order to effectively slow down the enemy's attack speed in the west and northwest of Ackerman. Lin Rui asked Sausage and others to teach the troops to make a large number of crude mines and put them into use in large numbers.
The production method of these crude landmines is very simple, because this time the Anmol Army has stocked a large amount of explosives. They are simply packaged and hidden in tin cans, and the explosives are surrounded by small iron nails. It was then buried in the main passage around Ackerman, and the detonating wire was in the hands of Anmor Army engineers. After these mines, which should actually be called underground explosive packs, explode, they can not only kill and injure a large number of enemies, but can also form pitted areas, greatly hindering the impact of enemy infantry.
Barbed wire and wooden piles were also fully utilized and stretched along the entire west and northwest of Ackerman Land, and buildings began to be piled on the streets to prevent the impact of enemy vehicles.
Lin Rui also issued a general mobilization order as Atli, pulling in a large amount of barbed wire and iron pipes from various factories and mines, and laying them on the main streets. The nearby steel factory is also working at full capacity to catch up with the work. A large number of two-meter-long solid iron rods were cast. These iron rods are only one finger thick and have very rough appearance. They are made of scrap iron with the lowest technical level, but they are very strong.
When it is densely inserted into the ground. This forms an extremely effective temporary barrier. Although the workmanship of this two-meter-long iron rod is rough, it is made of steel after all and can effectively resist the saber attack of the camel cavalry. Moreover, less than half of its length is buried underground. There is only about one meter on the ground, just enough to hold up the camel's belly.
"This will be the death line for the Orumi Federation Army." Actuary Jiang An said with emotion as he watched Lin Rui calmly inspecting the iron bars laid out in the shape of plum blossoms. Of course he knew what kind of chaos would happen once the high-speed camel cavalry encountered these scattered iron rods. They would either be crowded or die in vain, because the height of the iron rods was just enough to cut through the belly of the high-speed camels. Those iron bars that seemed to be relatively scattered seemed to be a breakthrough, but in fact they were the control area of ??the heavy machine gun fire of the Anmol Army. Any moving object passing there would be torn to pieces by the rain of bullets.
Lin Rui nodded calmly and looked at the actuary Jiang An with encouraging eyes. He said slowly: "Times have changed, and the role of these camel cavalry is also changing. Its status may decline, but in the desert area, the speed and mobility of these camel cavalry will never change. However, the cavalry is Even the camel cavalry is not used for fighting in the field. This kind of head-on confrontation is a mistake in itself."
Actuary Jiang An nodded solemnly. Battalion Commander Beerbom was also thoughtful. Before that, he had sent a sincere written request to General Kasan, hoping that after the war, he could be allowed to go back and continue to form the armored force of the Anmore Army. Kasan had already Agree to him.
"Are your lurking routes ready?" Lin Rui said thoughtfully.
"I'm ready and will set off right away." Actuary Maigan answered seriously.
According to the plan, hurry upHe persisted and asked Battalion Commander Beerbohm to lead the way, while checking the mortar position.
Nearly ten mortars were divided into four clusters, pointing at four designated areas. Those were the gaps deliberately left by the messy and dense iron rod array. In addition to these mortars, mortar groups were also placed in the two cathedrals, the fortress outside the city, and Ackerman Prison.
Finally, Lin Rui inspected the intertwined blockade firepower of heavy machine guns and artillery deployed in the two cathedrals. The two cathedrals were guarded by two commanders each leading a company of troops. Three heavy machine guns and mortars were placed in each church to form a solid fire support point. In order to facilitate long-term perseverance, the windows of each church have been sealed with a large number of sandbags, and various unnecessary exits have also been sealed with sandbags. A large number of sandbags have also been accumulated inside the church to prevent the church walls from collapsing. Judging from the way the sandbags were piled up, there was no way these churches could return to their original appearance even without an enemy attack.
The exquisite murals on the walls of the church have been buried under the soil by sandbags ever since, never to see the light of day again.
However, even though they are fully prepared, there are still more Anmor officers and soldiers who are using every minute and every second to continue to prepare for battle. They are working hard to accumulate ammunition, dig bunkers, and distribute food and fresh water. , prepare for a long and hard fight.
After a whole day of busy work, no sign of the Orumi Federation army was found. However, the intelligence team of the Iron Hammer organization discovered that the Orumi Federation army had spread out around Ackerman, like a huge dark cloud, and it would soon be here. Ackerman was completely shrouded in darkness.
Based on the information from the Hammer Organization, several staff officers from the Operations Department marked the enemy's situation on the military map. After making a large circle, the Orumi Federal Army surrounded Ackerman from the south, completely cutting off Ackerman from other cities there. In the northwest, the Orumi Federal Army It divided into three groups and approached Ackerman. The three big red arrows were shocking.
Lin Rui stared at the map quietly, lost in thought.
This night Ackerman was particularly calm.
As if I felt the war coming, even the wind calmed down a lot.
Late that night, the mercenaries and the Anmor Army joined forces and arrested about 130 spies loyal to the Orumi Federal Army in Ackerman based on the information from the Hammer. Lin Rui roughly reviewed each list. Finally, with a stroke of his pen, he signed his name. At four o'clock in the morning, more than a hundred collaborators or spies were escorted to Ackermann's Square, tied to lampposts and shot. The strong smell of blood floated once again in Ackerman Square, where the smell of blood had not completely disappeared.
The sound of gunshots woke up Ackerman¡¯s Chen Jing.
As if to set off the crispness of the gunfire, various rapid and harsh whistles suddenly sounded in Ackerman.
Standing at the highest point of the fortress, Lin Rui adjusted the magnification of the telescope to the maximum so that he could clearly see in the hazy light, groups of dense Orumi federal troops launched a marching attack on Ackerman. Their black uniforms were difficult to distinguish in weak light, but those gunfires were particularly obvious in the dark night.
The Anmor Army defenders near Ackerman Prison immediately launched a fierce counterattack. Heavy machine guns and mortars fired continuously. The sound of gunfire and artillery was heard. The flames of war once again illuminated the night sky of Ackerman. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
