Battlefield Contractor
Chapter 4635: Unexpected
Unexpectedly, the Orumi Federal Army did not expect that, while they commanded a large number of troops to guard the west line of defense and the flanks of position 3, Lin Rui would lead the main mercenary force to march in from the weak southern middle road, and smoothly. Seized the No. 2 position in the south.
The occupation of position 2 means a shift in focus on the battlefield.
After Isaiah was shocked by the news, she immediately understood that she had been fooled, and urged the other parts to strictly guard against it. The next day, Lin Rui and others launched an offensive to the north. Cooperating with their artillery, they violently bombarded the Orumi Federation garrison on the ground.
The commander of the Orumi Federal Army, Isaiah, even personally led the reinforcements to the position to supervise the battle. The Federal Guards resisted stubbornly and repelled the assaults of the mercenary troops again and again. The mercenaries under Lin Rui fought **** battles all day, killing more than 400 enemies, but their own casualties also reached more than 300 people.
The mercenary troops' repeated frontal impacts failed. However, the Orumi Federation Defenders were already miserable. Although they built solid positions along the east and west sides of Paramore City, they were facing the enemy in a stalemate.
But now the No. 2 position is also lost. This is a main position that originally used several commanding heights to build, but also built a lot of foxholes and light and heavy machine gun fortifications, and also pulled up barbed wire and other obstacles. Now these have become their nightmare when they counterattack.
Artillery from the rebels continued to fire at the Orumi Federation forces. When EFF troops attempted to counterattack to regain position 2, they were often hit by the opponent's artillery first.
Because the nearby commanding heights fell in the hands of the rebels, an observation post of the rebels was set up, and the artillery units were constantly instructed to target their targets and violently bombarded the positions of the Orumi Federation defenders.
After the Orumi Federation defenders learned the rules, they also learned well. When the enemy’s artillery fires, they only left a few soldiers for observation and surveillance, and all the remaining troops went into the fortifications. When the sound of the artillery was sparse and seeing the insurgents on the opposite side approaching the position, they fought back.
In addition to the attacks of Lin Rui and others, the insurgents also charged many times at the other two main attack points, with the usual force increasing and decreasing, and sporadic shelling continued. The Orumi Federal Army never dared to relax, the defenders calmly challenged and repelled several charging enemies.
Unwilling to retreat to the No. 2 position, Lin Rui charged the enemy again. After the first bombardment, the mercenaries used Xu Jin's barrage to cover, and the brigade of infantry cooperated with the combat vehicles to charge again. Lin Rui personally led more than 800 mercenaries and desperately tore open the enemy's defense line.
The defenders fought back fiercely with machine guns and grenades, but they gradually lost support due to the scattered forces. The battlefield was stained with blood, and the corpses were plentiful. The tide of mercenaries attacked again and again, and gradually, these Orumi Federation defenders lost their confidence.
Amidst the roar of cannons, a thick mist of smoke covered the sky, a cloud of mist, and mercenary troops moved forward in waves. At this time, a fortress of the defending army was collapsed by a rocket, with a bang, and several soldiers were buried inside.
This important firepower point was destroyed, and mercenaries finally rushed into the enemy's last line of defense in the suburbs of Palamore.
The Orumi Federation forces had no intention to fight, and had already begun to retreat. Suddenly facing the overwhelming mercenary troops rushing in, most of them turned around in a hurry and ran away, leaving those who did not understand the situation and were at a loss as prisoners.
At this point, the town of Mevaji, in the southern suburbs of Paramore, fell into the hands of the rebels. The gate to the south of Paramore was opened.
Upon receiving the report of the enemy's occupation of Mevaji Town, Isaiah was taken aback and fell directly into a chair. "The enemy occupying Mevaji may copy behind our army at any time. The whole army is in danger of being surrounded by the enemy!"
The situation is urgent, and it is already close. Isaiah immediately sent two of his staff officers to scout the situation by car, and at the same time mobilized a battalion to quickly rush to Mevaji Town, not seeking to put out the enemy, but to guard the door.
But not long after his two cars left, they were immediately intercepted by the Campbell Division of the rebel army. There was a burst of intensive shooting. The driver died on the spot and the two officers were injured.
Rebel soldiers found a map on the wounded officer of the Orumi Federation and immediately reported it to Campbell. Campbell didn't dare to put it aside, and immediately sent the map to Lin Rui.
Lin Rui shook his head after seeing it, "It seems that they know they can't hold on anymore and plan to retreat. They plan to abandon all their current positions and withdraw to the city, and send another battalion to ambush us to delay us. We fight a hard street fight."
"Then, shall we pursue it?" Scarface asked.
"No, it doesn't make much sense to catch up. The enemy retreats into the city from several directions, and other fraternal forces will pursue them as appropriate. Even if we rush up now, we will be blocked by the enemy's blocking forces. We will notify other troops first. , Gradually take over the enemy’s positions. Redeploy and rest, don’t rush for a while.” Lin Rui replied.
"Boss, our time is very tight. If we drag on, other people's reinforcements are likely to arrive at any time." Kuaima was a little worried.
"I know, so we can't be in a hurry. The enemy hasn't collapsed, we can't crush ourselves first." Lin Rui nodded, "Let the brethren rest well. Tomorrow will be a life and death battle."
"But why don't we take the opportunity to pursue it?" Shutter frowned.
"Because the effect is not good." Lin Rui turned his head, "Did you find that the enemy's defense has a feature? They set up their defense positions near the outskirts of the city. Because in such a short time, they have not had time to set up too many fortifications. Most of them use existing houses, ditches, and farmland in the suburbs to build simple fortifications.
This shows that they don't have much fortifications in the urban area. To fight street fighting, they need barricades. An effective defense and counterattack system needs to be established. And they are also afraid that we will take advantage of the situation to pursue them, so they will definitely send troops to defend. Anyway, they are busy tonight.
We simply keep them busy, and then launch an offensive in the early hours of tomorrow morning, when they are most tired. And tomorrow, our offensive position is not here. "
"What do you mean?" Shutter hesitated.
"We can't let others guess our thoughts. We occupied the town of Mevaji in the southern suburbs. According to the general idea, we will definitely use this town as a backing to continue our offensive.
The enemy must think so too, but we just got to surprise them. Let the brothers have a good meal and rest. In the middle of the night, we assembled and set off, joined Kasan's forces, and launched an offensive in the early morning. "Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Ensure that we are always outside the range of the enemy's speculation." "
