Lin Rui looked at these Western Sahara officers, "Do you understand?"

One of the officers frowned and said, "You mean that we temporarily retreated and forced their supply line to be extended. Then we tried to attack their supply line?"

"Yes, this is my idea. But to do so, the requirements are very high. We must have more comprehensive information, which areas can pass all kinds of vehicles; which areas can pass moderately or only a few vehicles; steep **** Location; the location of impassable areas such as salt lakes and salt marshes.

The location of the sand dunes; the growth of vegetation; the location of rugged terrain; the location of steep slopes that are impassable; the location where vehicles can cross the steep slope; the location of roads where vehicles can pass...

So a few months ago, I suggested to form and send a desert reconnaissance team. And added these necessary subjects in the training process of the troops.

However, it is a bit gratifying that, although before the outbreak of the war, your Western Saharan army did not make any war preparations to fight in the desert in the future.

But after we intervened, all preparations, including establishment and training, were carried out around the desert reconnaissance operations.

We conducted strict physical examinations on the first batch of soldiers of the Western Sahara reconnaissance unit, and selected those who were suitable for tropical operations; distributed tropical training uniforms; changed the training courses to adapt to the requirements of tropical operations; repainted all combat vehicles , Painted in desert color and so on.

In this way, so far, we already have a two-battalion desert reconnaissance force in our hands, and for this purpose we have established a reconnaissance headquarters composed of ten staff officers. Although there may still be many shortcomings, this unit is already the most suitable part of our army for desert warfare. "

"You have already deployed in advance? Those reconnaissance units that were transferred to train before are for pre-reconnaissance?" An officer suddenly realized.

"Of course, this is why you hired us. Maybe you think we just collected your money and commissioned training for the troops. But gentlemen, things are far from simple as you think.

We taught them how to organize and march and fight in a desert environment; how to camp for a long time; how to build fortifications in sand; how to drive various tanks or other armored vehicles on sand and at night; how to organize and march in flat areas at night , Expand.

How to use the compass and driving armored vehicles under the starry sky; how to mine and clear mines in a desert environment; maneuver combat exercises in a desert environment; learn the medical knowledge necessary for combat in the tropics; master the geography of the desert area and the combat methods of enemy and friendly forces ,habit.

It is worth mentioning that since most of your soldiers are locals, they are quite familiar with the desert. Saved a lot of that trouble during training. Although they are not particularly good at present, they are already competent.

There is almost nothing in the desert except for swarms of black mosquitoes, desert fleas, and thorny shrubs that grow everywhere. Therefore, the desert reconnaissance team is aimed at the desert environment, and we have formed some special teams.

For example, water supply companies, these companies are equipped with pumps and well-drilling equipment. Some of these companies are also equipped with distillation equipment. It also includes water transport teams, which are also under the logistics and transportation department.

As far as I know, the Moroccan army also has the same transport team, the difference is that their transport fleet is dedicated to transporting water. But instead of tank trucks or trailers, a bucket of 20 liters of water can be transported. The consequence of this is an extremely waste of space and inefficiency, as well as a waste of gasoline.

These newly trained soldiers will ensure that we fight this battle well. "Lin Rui looked at these Moroccan officers.

"He was right. In fact, the desert reconnaissance team quickly became our secret weapon. When others only saw hostile wasteland, unprepared troops, and cursed enemy troops, we saw opportunity.

In fact, the desert and the sea have many similarities. Just as the sea is the battlefield of the navy, the desert will be a natural stage for tanks. The Moroccan armored forces are indeed frightening.

However, as long as the reconnaissance work is meticulous and diligent enough, relying on a limited number of mechanized forces can also be fully capable of fast and bold military operations. In fact, we already have a plan..." the actuary replied.

"You already have a plan?" Several Western Sahara officers asked in surprise, "but we have just notified you of this situation."

"You have a reason for hiring us. If you wait until you notify us before making a response plan. We are not worth the price." Lin Rui shrugged, "Actuarial, this plan was made by you, or You can introduce it to them."

The actuary Jiangan nodded, "In fact, we have been doing relevant preparations a few months ago. We made various predictions about the enemy's dynamics, and finally found the most likely offensive route.

Judging from the current situation of the enemy forces, it actually proves that our previous estimates are completely correct. This line is the offensive line they are currently using.

The Moroccan army wants to hit us hard, but it also wants to avoid involving Algeria. Because we know that the relationship between Morocco and Algeria has been bad.

The two sides have always regarded each other as imaginary enemies, and once launched an arms race in Northwest Africa. Algeria is not a good crop, they are true African bullies. With an area of ​​more than 2.3 million square kilometers, it ranks tenth in the world and the largest country in Africa.

The vast land contains rich mineral resources, among which oil and natural gas reserves rank among the top in the world. And it is now the world's second largest natural gas exporter, second only to Russia.

In recent years, Algeria’s military spending once accounted for 5% of GDP, which is already a relatively large amount. In 2015, due to the fall in oil prices, the country’s GDP fell precipitously, but the country’s military expenditure did not decrease, but rose instead.

A country has 280,000 troops, including 130,000 active troops. The number of soldiers in the Afghan army seems to be small, but the weapons and equipment are surprising. The Afghan Army has eight S-300PMU2 air defense missile systems. The 40 armor-S1s ordered have arrived at 70%. The 800 T-90AMs purchased are now 500.

In addition, the Afghan Army also bought thousands of German small fox armored vehicles and 300 BMPT-72 tank support vehicles. The Ajun even has 4 sets of Iskander-E.

The navy and air force are also equipped. The Argentine Navy has 6 Kilo-class submarines, 3 C28A frigates, 1 9000-ton amphibious support ship, and 2 German-made 40-ton frigates.

The Air Force has 12 Su-34, 32 MiG-29S, 58 Su-30MKA, 15 C-130, 14 Il-76, 4 Il-78, and more than 50 helicopters.

So Morocco is very afraid of Algeria. Algeria has always supported the Popular Front of Western Sahara. Therefore, in order to avoid pulling in Algerians, Morocco will definitely choose an offensive route away from the Algerian border. "
