Chapter 4080: Successive attacks

Just as the Moroccan troops stepped up their pursuit, a news that disturbed them suddenly came.
"General, our supply point has been attacked." A staff officer hurriedly reported to the Moroccan commander in the command vehicle.
"Which supply point?" The Moroccan commander was surprised.
"Those fleeing Western Sahara People's Front troops, a few minutes ago, they attacked our No. 4 supply point." The staff quickly reported, "We thought they had been running eastward, but they were close to our No. 4 supply point. They suddenly launched an attack at the spot.
At present, the No. 4 supply point has only a small number of our logistics units. They are asking us for help, but it will take at least three hours to get there. "The staff officer was a little nervous.
"Supply Point No. 4 is here, and our current position is here. Even if we advance at full speed, it will take more than three hours.
And the troops there are limited, and the number of enemy troops is at least several dozens of them. By the time we get there, the enemy will probably have destroyed the supply point. The Moroccan commander shook his head, "We are too late to rescue them." "
"Then how do I reply to them? The Moroccan officer asked in a low voice.
"Just tell them that we are rushing over. Before we arrive, let them try their best to resist and try to hold the enemy. As long as they can," the Moroccan commander replied.
"Well, that's the only way. I hope they can do miracles and delay until we arrive." The officer nodded.
"Major, there is no miracle in war. Moreover, if they can insist that we arrive, it is not a miracle, but a miracle.
They are bound to die, and we ourselves have our own tasks. The Moroccan commander shook his head.
"Can't we tell them the truth and tell them to retreat?" the officer couldn't help but said.
"Knowing the truth is not good for them. Despair can destroy a team more than fear. Let them know that we are returning to help, at least it will give them hope and resist for a while.
If you tell them the truth, it will only accelerate their defeat. This is the greatest reality. Besides, let them retreat, where can they retreat?
Supply point No. 4 is located deep in the desert. They had only so little strength in total, and withdrew from the supply point, it was a dead end. And this will speed up the enemy's occupation of that supply point.
It's better to let them fight to the death and to help us hold the enemy for a while. "The Moroccan commander whispered, "All we can do now is to pursue it with all our strength." "
The distress signal at the No. 4 supply point has never stopped, and about half of the signal has disappeared. All the Moroccan troops know what it means to lose the signal? This means that the No. 4 supply point has been completely lost.
Soon Moroccan military intelligence also confirmed this. The troop commander nodded regretfully, "As expected, I originally thought they could delay it for a while. I didn't expect it to be so fast."
"Intelligence shows that there are quite a lot of enemy troops there. Judging from our previous communications with the estimated supply point No. 4. It was the troop we were pursuing that attacked them. It's a pity that they were not able to hold the enemy longer. "A staff officer in Morocco also has some regrets.
"But they let the enemy waste at least half an hour there. This is also a favorable condition for us.
Inform the troops and continue to advance at full speed, and in a few hours we will be able to bite the enemy's tail. At that time we can let them pay their debts. When our tank tracks crushed them, they knew how wrong they were. "The Moroccan commander is resolute and authentic.
At this moment, another message was suddenly received in the command vehicle, and a communicator said loudly, "Sir, they are attacking our supply point."
"Why is there still news coming? The No. 4 supply point has not been lost?" The Moroccan commander was stunned.
"No sir. It was not the No. 4 supply point that sent the request for help, but the No. 2 supply point." The communications soldier replied loudly.
"Supply Point No. 2? How is this possible?" The Moroccan commander suddenly sat upright. "Are you sure it is the No. 2 supply point?"
"Yes, the communication is still connected. Major Di Maio personally asks for help." The communicator handed the communicator in his hand to the commander.
The Moroccan commander took the call, and after a tense call, the Moroccan commander learned about the current situation. A Western Sahara force is attacking the No. 2 supply point behind them.
The current situation is critical, but it can still be supported, but no one knows how long this situation will last.
The Moroccan commander's face was uncertain, "This is bad, we must go back."
"Now? We are only a few hours away by car from the enemy, but now we have to turn around and drive back?" an officer whispered.
"Trust me, I'm rather annoyed by this result. But unfortunately, we have no other choice. No. 2 supply point, there is nothing to lose." The commander sternly said.
"But that's not what the previous supply point No. 4 said." An officer whispered, "Is there anything special about supply point No. 2?"
"You are bullshit, the No. 2 supply point is our largest supply point in this area, where a large amount of fuel and supplies are stored. We must not lose the No. 2 supply point again when the No. 4 supply point has been lost. "The commander was a little annoyed.
Another officer nodded and said, "I support the general's decision. Because the situation at Supply Point No. 2 and Supply Point No. 4 is completely different.
Replenishment Point No. 2 is a regional replenishment station. It is our main material storage center in this area. It has a large amount of oil and supplies.
If this place falls into the hands of the enemy, our situation will be very bad. If the tank lacks fuel, there is no way to take advantage of its mobility.
Besides, there is a battalion of our troops near the No. 2 supply point. Due to their intervention, the duration of supply point 2 should be longer. Even long enough for us to rush to support.
If the previous supply point No. 4 is because we have no time to rescue. Then the No. 2 supply point is the target that we must rescue and have time to rescue. "
"It's a pity that the Western Saharans have been cheaper. We will soon follow them. Now we have to defend them strategically. It really makes me unwilling." The Moroccan commander threw the table angrily.
But there is no way to be unwilling. Because the Moroccan commander knew in his heart that once the No. 2 supply point fell into the hands of the enemy, the battlefield situation would completely change.
They will become prey from being a stalker. Armored units lacking fuel have no advantage over the armed forces of the People’s Front of Upper Western Sahara. Instead, it may become the prey of the Western Saharans.
