Realizing that the situation is not good, Lin Rui's mercenary troops quickly joined the battle. Lin Rui himself hurried to the rebel army headquarters.

"Where is the person in charge?" Lin Rui yelled at the headquarters.

"The chief took people to support the brethren in the city. Our people in the city were raided by the police and the situation was critical. The commander took people to the rescue.

Now they seem to be trapped in the city. "A Rebel soldier replied.

"Sure enough, it's a **** who didn't succeed and failed. Didn't I emphasize the meaning of staying on Route 4 before?" Lin Rui couldn't help it.

"They are already trying their best to get back, Mr. Rick," the resistance soldier replied.

"Leave them alone, tell me how is the current situation?" Lin Rui walked quickly to the edge of the map.

"Okay, sir. The enemy is launching a raid on Route 4 from here and here. Our current situation is quite unsatisfactory.

The enemy's attack was too sudden, and most of the defenses deployed along Route 4 failed to come in handy. "The resistance soldier replied. "So far, two of our squadrons have been broken up.

Among them, the troops originally deployed in Area A have been forced to withdraw to Area C. The situation in Area B is also not optimistic.

But because of the Anmor prisoners on their flanks, the enemy's advancement speed was not as fast as in Zone A. Those Anmor troops were quite experienced, and they effectively held back the enemy. "

Listening to the soldier's general introduction of the battlefield situation, Lin Rui frowned.

The current situation is more serious than he thought. If it weren't for this batch of Anmore prisoners of war participated in the war. Now Highway 4 is likely to be controlled by the Orumi Federation.

It happened that at this critical moment, the commander of the Resistance was not there. In the absence of effective command, the remaining troops can only fight on their own.

This unorganized chaos. In front of the federation forces, which are clearly stronger in organizing combat capabilities, it is tantamount to using the greatest disadvantage to collide with the opponent's advantage.

Lin Rui made a decisive decision and let his mercenary troops take over command.

His first order was for all the troops along Route 4 to move backward to the next layer of defense to reorganize defenses. And to report to the headquarters of the battle situation and statistical losses.

He must readjust the deployment of defenses according to the current situation. The information sent back from the various troops was shocking.

In just over an hour of fighting, the losses of the Resistance have been quite staggering. And it has lost many of the support points that were originally important in the combat plan.

These support points are the main points that play a supporting role in the defense area. It also refers specifically to the main points that companies and platoons guard during defense. It has a solid ring position and tight firepower distribution, which can stand alone.

And these tactical points were lost prematurely. For a defender like them, it's a pretty bad situation.

Lin Rui immediately ordered to let his mercenary troops join the battle. Try to regain some of the more important support points.

At this critical moment, it was the Anmor prisoners of war who stood up with their mercenaries.

These Anmor prisoners of war are worthy of the elite origin of the northern coalition forces. And many of them have basic-level officers in company tactics.

They know how to use limited anti-armor methods to deal with the Orumi Federation infantry fighting vehicles.

Since the beginning of World War II, tanks have become the army's main combat weapons and equipment, with strong firepower and protection, and have become the army's main assault force. However, after the war, the combat equipment of infantry fighting vehicles appeared and was widely accepted by all countries.

Compared with real tanks, the protective capabilities of infantry fighting vehicles have always been weak, and their real role is also to form together with tanks. Rarely used for solo combat.

The main reason is the need for joint operations, especially the Army, which requires different arms to cooperate in operations.

In fact, infantry fighting vehicles are equipped with tank operations, which is a formal tactic. Although the protective power of infantry fighting vehicles is far inferior to that of tanks compared to tanks.

However, in combat, one does not rely on a single piece of equipment to fight alone. Those who think that tanks should be used to fight alone are actually those who do not understand tactics.

The modern army has long since gotten rid of the situation of single arms fighting alone and has established tactical and operational norms for joint operations of multiple arms. Although modern tanks have strong armor protection, powerful firepower equipment, and very strong maneuverability, this gives the tank a very strong combat effectiveness.

However, at the same time, the shortcomings of the tank itself are also very obvious, it lacks the ability to observe the surroundings, and cannot effectively find and destroy close targets.

This makes the tank look like a huge mammoth behemoth, although it has a strong impact, once it falls into a trap, it is difficult to get out. If you simply send tanks to attack, you will easily be destroyed by the opponent's anti-armor firepower.

Obviously, this is unacceptable. Therefore, tanks need infantry fighting vehicles to cooperate with operations. First of all, infantry fighting vehicles can carry infantry to cooperate with tank operations. Infantry can detect and destroy enemy anti-tank units that threaten the tank. The speed of infantry fighting vehicles can keep up with the tanks. Without infantry fighting vehicles, infantry cannot keep up with tanks that can reach 60-70KM/H per hour.

So in fact, the actual use of infantry fighting vehicles is to cooperate with tank troops. The massive use of infantry fighting vehicles like the Orumi Federation is actually to adapt to African battlefield operations.

Many African countries have weak armed forces, and most of them still rely on infantry to fight the world. For the infantry, infantry fighting vehicles can be said to have the advantage.

And in terms of cost, this type of light infantry fighting vehicle is much cheaper than tank armor. Therefore, the Orumi Federation will use a large number of infantry fighting vehicles.

First, the infantry fighting vehicle can provide better armor protection for the infantry. Although the protection of the fighting vehicle is relatively weak, most African countries do not have many anti-tank methods, which makes the infantry fighting vehicle relatively safe.

Thirdly, the machine gun on the infantry fighting vehicle is not weak and can have a larger attack angle. In combat, the infantry fighting vehicle can make infantry operations more efficient.

But the infantry fighting vehicle is not a tank after all, especially in terms of protection. Modern individual anti-tank weapons can already destroy tanks in terms of power alone.

The RPG-7 rocket launcher equipped by the Resistance Army is actually an anti-armor weapon.

However, the rebels generally had no formal training, were not proficient in the use of rocket launchers, and had extremely poor accuracy. And they don't know how to attack the weak position of infantry fighting vehicles. So there is no good effect. .

But these Anmor soldiers are different, they are genuine regular infantry. Although they used to be General Logan's personal army.

But General Logan was willing to spend money on his own troops, including asking European instructors to train and equip new weapons. After all, for warlords like Logan, their troops are equivalent to their own private property.

No matter how much money is spent, it is also spent on his own troops. Therefore, these Anmor soldiers were more expert in combat than these rebels, and actually fought much better.
