The attack tonight was originally planned by Lin Rui, but there was still an accident, and the transport convoy of the Anmore Army had a considerable situation.

As the Anmor army was preparing to launch a large-scale combat operation in Ackerman, General Kassan secretly organized a large number of vehicles to transport military supplies such as weapons, equipment and ammunition. Although they had taken enough precautions, the transport fleet was still suddenly attacked. The desert was originally a place where bandits ran rampant, and the armed bandits who attacked them had a clear purpose in combat. It was not to loot supplies, but to delay the journey of the transport convoy as much as possible, so that they could advance slowly and carefully in the desert, so as to achieve The purpose of Anmor's army in trouble in Ackerman.

It can be inferred from this that Ruvel may have also anticipated the existence of the Anmore Army, and has been quietly carrying out the plan to draw wages from the bottom of the pot. His tacit cooperation with some armed and disguised bandits in some places is undoubtedly the most important thing for the Anmore Army. huge threat.

Of course, it was impossible for Kassan to let such a bad situation happen, so he took the risk of organizing a fast transport team and boldly crossed the area where bandits were rampant in the desert.

As a result, they were attacked by bandits as expected. The Anmor army had been prepared for a long time, and the transport convoy was equipped with enough armored vehicles and vehicle-mounted mortars. After a **** battle, they repelled the bandits' attack, destroyed more than ten captured bandit vehicles, and won a complete victory.

Unfortunately, during the battle, a soldier of the Anmor army misread the target due to excessive nervousness, and only fired one mortar shell at his vehicle. The hit rate of the mortar launch was very low, but However, this shell actually hit the target accurately, and the unlucky target vehicle was caught off guard, and was immediately blown to pieces. If only one delivery truck was lost. But that car was loaded with 152mm cannon howitzer shells. As a result, hundreds of rounds of 152mm artillery shells all sank and exploded in one shot, and it was too late to save them, and a large area of ​​surrounding vehicles was also overturned.

Regarding this matter, the chief of the transportation force could only sigh and have nothing to say.

Lin Rui paced back and forth for a few steps and took a deep breath. Shen Sheng asked: "How many 152mm shells do we have now?"

The chief of the artillery unit said bitterly: "Less than sixty rounds, about five rounds per cannon."

Lin Rui stared at the Aulumi Federal Army camp in the distance with piercing eyes, and did not speak for a long time. The camp of the Orumi Federal Army is a standard old-fashioned fortress. Although it is not a reinforced concrete structure, it is all made of huge granite stones. It is still very strong. There is not enough artillery fire. I really want to tear it apart. not easy.

Although the number of 152mm artillery shells is not enough, the logistics supplies transported by the transport troops to the Anmor Army are still sufficient. The main weapons and equipment include 600 spare AK series rifles and machine guns, 300 rounds of mortar shells, several Thousands of grenades, and thousands of boxes of machine gun and rifle bullets. This is enough to equip a regular army, but Anmor's army can't consume so many weapons and ammunition for the time being. Even if part of the weapons and equipment were to be spared for Atley's troops, that would be enough.

An Anmor officer tentatively said: "The transportation team has already added shells from the rear at the fastest speed, and it will take about four days to arrive..."

Lin Rui shook his head slowly, and said in a low voice, "It's too late."

It only takes two days at most for the support troops of the Orumi Federal Army to reach the northwest of Ackerman. If the enemy's fortress cannot be occupied as soon as possible, then Anmor's army will be in a situation of being attacked by the enemy, which is very dangerous.

The officer also stopped talking. In fact, he knew in his heart that the enemy and them were racing against time.

Ruvel is waiting for reinforcements from the Orumi Federal Army to arrive as soon as possible. To launch a more intense counter-offensive, the Anmor army wanted to clear away Ruvel's remnants as soon as possible and drive them out of Ackerman. Follow the original plan. The Anmore Army will launch a full-scale attack in half an hour, and use heavy artillery fire to clear the defense of the fortress and clear the way for the Anmore Army. However, now that there are not enough shells, how will the plan proceed?

"The attack must continue as usual. We must attack without the cover of the cannon." Lin Rui said firmly, clenched his fists vigorously.

According to the information provided by the intelligence department, the current situation in Ankewei is actually not optimistic. On the southeast side of Ankewei, the elite troops of the Orumi Federal Army are constantly concentrating on the northern border. Various strategic points, including the Lion Fortress, have concentrated a large number of troops. Although the intelligence shows that the main target of the Orumi Federation Army should be the Songshi Town area, no one can guarantee whether these troops will attack Songshi Town By the way, take a look at the Ankewei area.

And now the garrison strength of the Anmore Army is less than 20,000. Although Atley has joined them, it is obvious that he cannot rely too much on this outsider, so there is still a hidden danger at present.

The situation on the west side of Ankewei is also not optimistic. The Orumi Federation Army has greatly threatened the presence of the Anmor Army in Ankewei's province, and even directly threatened the safety of Ankewei's provincial capital. The Anmor army's garrison strength in Ankewei City is less than 2,000 people, and Atley's troops obviously do not have enough strength to fight against the regular army of the Orumi Federation.

Moreover, Lin Rui didn't want Atley's power to expand too quickly, so that if he was not careful, it would become a situation that could not be lost.

Therefore, in general, the situation in Ankewei is also fraught with danger, and the signs of the Orumi Federal Army's eastward advance are becoming more and more obvious.

Moreover, now, Lin Rui has one more worry, that is, will the Orumi Federation Army attack Ankewei on a large scale, take advantage of the time when the main forces of the Anmore Army are concentrated in Songshi Town, take Ankewei, and then From Ankewei to attack the empty rear of Anmor's army, this kind of tactic is the most taboo of Lin Rui, and he has to remind 12 points of mental vigilance. At the same time, Lin Rui had to pay attention to when the troops organized by the Secret Society would move.

In any case, the most urgent task now is to solve Ankewei's problem as soon as possible and free the sharp knife of the Anmor Army.

Back at the command post, after thinking for a long time, Lin Rui made up his mind and quietly repeated his decision: "Even without the cover of artillery fire. We must take down the enemy's fortress tonight and drive the enemy out of Ackerman .It is worth the sacrifice even if it costs a certain amount. 1

The officers of the Anmore Army stopped talking and nodded to express that they would do their best to carry out the combat mission.

However, after making up your mind, how to attack the enemy's fortress is a matter that requires careful calculation. The original plan was to take a drastic approach. First, after clearing all obstacles for the infantry with fierce artillery fire, the enemy was forced out of the camp step by step in the form of double coverage with mortars and grenades. However, there is not enough artillery fire now, which means that the Anmore Army must change its previous offensive method.

Lin Rui carefully examined the map of the enemy camp, and slowly moved his fingers across the map, searching for available resources inch by inch.

Like Ackerman Prison, this enemy camp is an easy to defend and difficult to attack. This fortress looks like a huge bird's head, with rugged terrain. It is not conducive to climbing, and there are enemy defensive artillery on the top of the hill. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking, the defenders built a large number of permanent fortifications at the position of the bird's neck behind the fort, and they hid in deep and strong trenches. The condescending tiger stares at everyone who approaches it.

The standing garrison of this fortress is 3,000 people, and there are two huge barracks on the west and northwest of it, which can provide support to the positions on both sides at any time. The barracks on the west are only six kilometers away from the central position, and the barracks on the north are a little further. About nine kilometers. However, for such a strong fortress, there is no problem in holding out until reinforcements arrive. The Anmor army is also ready for a protracted war.

"Where is this place?" Lin Rui's finger landed on the northern part of the bird's neck, where there was a small hill that just cut into the bird's neck.

"This is Moaisi. It didn't have a name at first, but the locals are Moaisi people, so it is called Moaisi Mountain, because it is a small hill, and this area happens to control an area here." Said, he vaguely guessed what Lin Rui was going to do, but shook his head lightly, as if to indicate that Lin Rui's consideration was not feasible.

The staff officer next to him carefully introduced the information about Mount Moaisi. Moais is a small hill. There are many weathered rocks and deserts nearby, the altitude is not high enough, and the area is not big enough, like a bottle lying on the ground.

Unfortunately, this critical bottleneck was still under heavy fire from enemy artillery.

But Lin Rui didn't pay much attention to these materials. Instead, he pondered slightly, tapped his fingers on the map thoughtfully, and said in thought, "If we launch an attack here..."

Staff Officer Anmore's complexion changed slightly, he hesitated to speak, and finally mustered up the courage to lower his voice and said in a deep voice: "Sir, that seems unacceptable, even a bit like suicide."

Lin Rui was a little stunned, apparently he didn't expect that the staff officer would use such words to describe his plan, he couldn't help frowning, his face was calm and solemn, and he said slowly: "Self-destruction? Why do you say that?"

The staff officer did not regret his indiscriminate words, and quickly sorted out his thoughts, and said in a low and calm voice: "The Aurumi Federal Army has set up a very complete fortification here, and all the roads that can be used there are It has been blown up and dismantled, and a stone wall six or seven meters high has been piled up with big stones, and garrison troops are stationed on it. Our convoy can't approach it at all. There are also six cannon muzzles on the enemy's fortress Specifically pointing to this bottleneck entrance, under the blockade of artillery fire, it is difficult for our troops to enter, and even if they enter, they will not be able to get out, because the terrain is narrow and there is no scope for large troops to just turn around..."

Seeing that Lin Rui's face was getting more and more gloomy, but that expression didn't seem to be listening, the staff officer of the Anmore Army swallowed quietly, and ended his suggestion with a concluding sentence: "Of course the enemy army is also worried that we will copy He has a back lane, so he has done a lot of preparation..."

As expected, Lin Rui was unmoved, and looked up at the roof slightly, as if thinking about something. After a while, he said slowly: "What are our difficulties? List them one by one, maybe there is a way It can be solved."

The Anmor staff officer sighed softly, knowing that Lin Rui would never give up easily, but said as cautiously as possible: "First, there must be a strong assault force that can withstand a certain number of large-caliber shells. It is possible to cross this mountain pass only after paying a certain amount of casualties. However, the armored units we can use at present are all light infantry vehicles, and we don’t have such solid armor and tanks;

Second, our commander must have enough courage and courage, and also have enough skills, to be able to successfully command the convoy into the Moais Pass, because the entrance here is too small and narrow, and it is not easy to enter , If you are not careful, you will be blocked by the enemy on the way.

Third, even if you can successfully enter the Moaisi Pass, there is no way to launch an effective offensive there, because not only is there a terrain restriction, but also the stone wall built by the enemy is a natural barrier that cannot be crossed. the enemy is stationed;

Fourth, and most importantly, no army can cut into that position when the enemy is attacked from both sides or even three sides. Facing the attack of tens of thousands of enemies, we will be wiped out in a very short period of time. . "

Lin Rui listened quietly, walked slowly to the door with his head lowered, and quietly looked at the distant enemy fortress. There, there was a pitch-black scene, like a peaceful but already open mouth. Net, the night is deep, waiting for the Anmor army to throw themselves into the net.

The Anmor staff officer took a deep breath, walked up to Lin Rui, and said sincerely: "Sir, I suggest that we wait until our transport troops bring the shells before launching an attack. Even if the Aurumi Federation Army reinforcements will arrive, but we rely on the favorable terrain of Ackerman Prison, and they can't do anything to us. We can use the favorable terrain there to consume a lot of their vitality, and then launch a counterattack..."

Lin Rui turned around gently, waved his hand lightly, and interrupted him, his voice was not high but very determined: "No, we must launch an attack tonight. You go to prepare the troops immediately, and at the same time order the troops to do Get ready for all battles.

I personally led three companies into the Moais Pass and cut the opening, and you are responsible for leading the other troops to attack according to the original plan. Our goal remains the same, but I am determined to trap these enemy forces in their fortress..."
