"You have the final say on how the war is fought. But this is the situation now. It is a fact that these rebels are not useful. But it is also a fact that we have to continue to deal with it." Lin Rui nodded. "Tell me about the situation there."
"The pass in front is the throat of Highway 4, the road that the rebel army must pass through to meet up. As soon as the brothers arrived, they built fortifications in the heavy rain. The Anmore prisoners of war did the same. They quickly built deep and wide Temporary fortifications. On the hilltop over there, artillery positions and shelters were deployed, and a communication trench was dug overnight to connect to other positions." Scarface said in a low voice.
While they were talking, they suddenly heard a hissing sound, and the two of them fell down in a habitual and alert manner. A heavy mortar shell exploded far behind them, sending up flames and black smoke.
"Damn it." Scarface cursed and got up from the ground.
"It seems that you can hold on for a while before other troops arrive. We must stop the enemy, but there are only two thousand people who can directly participate in the battle. But I will transfer half of these two thousand people to you. You have to ask We have to stop these enemies for several days." Lin Rui also stood up and said.
"My idea is to leave Route 4. We can't retreat along the road. The enemy will keep chasing us." Scarface shook his head and said, "I know that our mission is to ensure that Route 4 is in our hands, but This won't work now. Our defenses are inflexible and we're almost locked on the road." Scarface shook his head.
"You mean to get off the road?" Lin Rui pondered.
"Yes, we left the road, but that doesn't mean we gave up. We can come back at any time, or even go back behind them in a roundabout way. We just no longer move along the road, but expand the scope of our activities. Then, they want to pursue We must also leave the road.
And now it is the rainy season. With such heavy rain, there are seasonal swamps everywhere. This is why Route 4 is so important. Once off the road, continued rain and muddy roads would further slow them down. "Scarface whispered.
"I have an idea, but I'm afraid the enemy won't do it. Their goal is not to eliminate these rebels, but to control Highway 4. So it is impossible to lure them away. If we leave Highway 4, they will not They will pursue them because they have clear orders." Lin Rui shook his head.
"So? We can only fight to the death with them here?" Scarface whispered, "This is not very wise. Those so-called uprising troops are not even as good as the militia."
"So there must be no mistakes on Route 4. You also know that they can't do it. If Route 4 is lost again, these so-called rebels will have no chance of winning." Lin Rui said seriously.
"But is Highway 4 really that important?" Scarface couldn't help but ask.
"As long as Highway 4 is still under our control, the rebel troops can join up with the rebel troops in other areas.
It¡¯s true that they can¡¯t fight a tough battle, but once their numbers are large and their momentum becomes strong, they will affect the entire Olumi Federation.
Let more Orumi civilians participate in their uprising. This will deeply shake the foundation of the secret society in the Orumi Federation. Lin Rui nodded.
"Okay, boss, what you said makes sense. So what should we do now? If we fight hard like this, even if we hold on to Highway 4, the losses will be huge." Scarface looked at Lin Rui.
"I don't want to do this, but we have no other choice. No matter how great the loss is, we have to bear it. What about those Anmore prisoners of war?" Lin Rui replied.
"They are okay. After all, they have fought in battles and seen blood. Compared with those rebels, they are not a little bit stronger. In fact, most of the reason why we can persist until now is because of them." Scarface nodded. , "They came in handy this time. And they are ruthless enough, and they all dare to fight hard."
"Is there any news about other rebels? The rebels in Redmay City, including the rebel army that rushed to rescue them. What is the situation now?" Lin Rui turned his head and asked a rebel communications soldier .
"There is no news yet. The last contact was about two hours ago. They were alone in the city and engaged in a fierce battle with the Orumi federal police force." The communications soldier replied.
"Have you reported the situation here to them? What does your commander mean by completely abandoning this place?" Lin Rui frowned.
"The commander has made it clear that once they are able to escape from the city, they will immediately lead their team back to support them," the communications soldier replied. "But I felt that his tone of voice was very hesitant, and there was constant sound of gunfire in the communication channel. It seemed that the battle was quite intense.""He'd better be glad that he can't come back, otherwise I will kill him." Lin Rui said expressionlessly, "This situation was caused by him. He actually acts like a fine person."
After Lin Rui finished speaking, he strode away, and they retreated quickly. However, the enemy's pursuers will soon break through the obstacles along the way, and it is only a matter of time before they catch up.
And Lin Rui must roughly deploy a simple defense before the enemy comes over. Because for those rebels, it is always better to defend with prepared positions than to engage in improvised encounters.
¡°About an hour later, the blocking force withdrew with heavy casualties. They have withdrawn, which means that the Orumi federal army is approaching again.
Lin Rui ordered all positions to be prepared for defense. These rebels cannot fight large-scale battles. So Ling Linrui replaced them with zeros and split them into small teams. Let them follow Anmol's prisoner-of-war troops and fight together.
Lin Rui himself led some mercenaries and the Anmore prisoner-of-war force with stronger combat effectiveness to hold on to the main positions.
At the same time, a small number of artillery troops are allowed to enter the artillery positions, ready to support the battle in surrounding positions at any time.
This kind of defensive operation will not be supported by artillery. The consequences are unimaginable. Now, several small rocket launchers are starting to run out of ammunition. Lin Rui could only temporarily concentrate them with limited rockets.
He understands very well that this firepower must be used at the most critical moment.
So now the mercenaries' support firepower mainly relies on mortars and a small number of recoilless rifles.
Fortunately, this time, they had a lot of mortars and ammunition. Much of this is external support that the Hammers receive from the CIA.
Lin Rui handed these mortars to some experienced mercenaries. They were ordered to set up an artillery position between several positions for ready support.
In addition, it targets the enemy's powerful infantry fighting vehicles. The mercenaries also formed several anti-tank groups.
These people have no fixed defensive positions, and in addition to assault rifles, they are all equipped with RPG rocket launchers, specifically targeting enemy infantry fighting vehicles.
