Chapter 4174: Tactical error

"How is the situation now?" Ernest asked hurriedly.

"The periphery of the ceasefire zone can no longer be defended. Morocco has aggressively attacked and our army has retreated across the board." A general whispered.

"It's not enough to retreat, we must continue to order to retreat." Lin Rui said.

"But the soldiers are very tired. We just lost the battle. We need a little time to reassemble our troops. Besides, where can we withdraw, do we want to go deep into the desert hinterland?" The general said with some dissatisfaction.

"The enemy's mechanized infantry has completely superior maneuverability than ours, not to mention that they also have air supremacy. If we do not withdraw, we will suffer even greater losses when the enemy catches up.

The best way now is to retreat before they start the pursuit and complete the assembly at the Algerian border. Although the Moroccans are strong, they must also fear the strong Algeria. They are not ready to go to war with Algeria.

So once we evacuated to the border of Algeria, they will not continue to pursue. The Algerian side has always been tough on Morocco, and they will never allow the Moroccan army to approach its border.

Therefore, before the Moroccan military takes the next step, the Algerian side will issue a warning in advance. They are not the People’s Front of Western Sahara, they are a country with strong arms and hundreds of thousands of troops.

The Moroccans dare not mess around. "Lin Rui replied.

"But in this way, what we have gained through difficult battles and ceasefire negotiations some time ago, won't we give it to the Moroccans again?" The generals of the Western Sahara People's Front expressed their unwillingness.

"I know that you are not reconciled. Think about it again. Since the other party took the initiative to launch an offensive, it means that they are determined to tear up the armistice agreement. Do you still expect this paper agreement to guarantee you anything?

Now we have no other choice. The first thing to do is to preserve the current part of the armed forces. Without these troops, your Western Sahara People’s Front is nothing, not even as good as a local warlord armed with hundreds of people. "Lin Rui sneered.

"What are you talking about? You are just a military adviser! How dare to deny the People's Front of Western Sahara so brazenly?" a general said furiously.

"I did not deny you. I am just reminding you that the reason why your People's Front for Western Sahara can be recognized by some countries is because you still have this part of the armed forces in your hands.

If not, do you think there will be dozens of countries in the world that will recognize you? Of course not. This world always speaks by strength. Without strength, there is no right to speak.

I am now thinking of ways to help you preserve your strength. But you hope to be a hero and show your patriotism. Generals, if anyone really has this idea, I will give him a gun and a car, and let him find a Moroccan to fight to the death.

If you still want to preserve your strength and try to fight again, just listen to me and withdraw your troops to the Algerian border. Take advantage of Algeria's protection to temporarily overcome this difficulty. "Lin Rui looked at everyone.

Ernest was silent for a moment. The officers under his command just now said, "The current situation is caused by the gap in absolute strength, and it cannot be changed by the hard work of you or the soldiers.

I think Mr. Rick is right. Under this circumstance, we must first consider how to preserve our vitality, rather than fighting with the enemy. I ordered the whole army to retreat.

All ministries, in accordance with the evacuation plan of the military advisory group, evacuated to the vicinity of the Algerian border in an orderly manner. We have a refugee camp there, we can evacuate the troops there first. "

It was not until Ernest ordered that these high-ranking military officials notified the troops one by one to continue to evacuate.

Lin Rui returned to the command room, looking at the map in silence. The actuary walked over and handed him a cup of coffee. "Tossing about midnight, have some coffee."

Lin Rui picked up the coffee but didn't drink it, but looked at the actuary Jiang An and asked, "The Moroccan army's behavior is a bit strange."

"Did you notice?" Jiang An glanced at him and nodded, "Actually, I didn't feel right from the beginning of the battle. Come and look at the map..."

The actuary hurriedly walked to the side of the map, "Look, this is the ceasefire zone negotiated by the two parties before. The two sides retreated about 20 kilometers each to form such a long and narrow ceasefire zone.

If Morocco wants to attack, there are actually many ways. But the most important ones should be two. The first is a quick fight and a quick decision. This method should be completed from the northwest side of the Moroccan-controlled area, and directly attack the headquarters of the Popular Front of Western Sahara, cutting off its command center.

The second method, on the contrary, chose to attack on the other end, directly attacking the area controlled by the local warlords of Western Sahara. Avoid the Popular Front of Western Sahara from supporting these local warlords.

Either of these two methods can achieve better results. But now their offensive is a bit strange. They abandoned both ends of the long and narrow ceasefire zone and attacked directly from the middle.

Although it seems that they are heading for the main force of the People's Front of Western Sahara, in fact, if they had not taken the advantage of the raid, the troops of the People's Front of Western Sahara would not lose even a regiment.

It is entirely possible to withdraw quickly after they attack.

The reason is simple. The ceasefire zone originally delineated is not meaningless. At least it is stipulated that the heavy firepower of both sides cannot enter this area. So as long as one party initiates an attack, the other party has sufficient time to retreat.

The delineation of the ceasefire zone was originally meant to avoid further conflicts between the two parties, leading to intensified conflicts. Therefore, from the standpoint of Morocco, they should not use this method to attack. "

Lin Rui nodded, "I have always felt something is wrong. The Moroccans start from the middle of the ceasefire zone and give up on both ends. It really cannot be said to be a smart choice.

It's more like a faint move in a good situation. Like their style of play, the Western Sahara People’s Front has plenty of time to evacuate to the Algerian border. They have no way to kill the Popular Front of Western Sahara. "

"I have a bold guess." The actuary said with a frown, "What if this is a trap?"

"A trap? But who else can they count with such a faint move?" Lin Rui shook his head.

"It's not that the Moroccans want to calculate who, but what if the Moroccans are calculated by others? For example-the secret society organization." The actuary Mae Ki suddenly reminded.
