Chapter 4180: Vitampol

In the conference room, members of the military advisory group and several major generals of the People’s Front of Western Sahara were there. Actuary Jiang Jian is explaining the defense deployment of Morocco.
"In general, our current strength is superior. And it is not difficult to win Smara. Even if we plan well enough, we will win Smara at a very small price. "Jiang An pointed to the map.
"I don't understand. If Smara is really as good as you said, why have you always disagreeed with attacking Smara before?" a Western Sahara officer asked.
"Listen to my analysis. As far as the current garrison in Smara is concerned, they have a total of three troops deployed in five positions. The southeast and northeast are their defensive focus. Their two most elite troops It is deployed in these two locations.
In addition, these two areas are their defense areas. If we launch an attack on these two areas, the surrounding forces will concentrate their forces to resist.
My plan is to launch a feint attack here and here, causing us to bypass the southeast and northeast and directly attack the illusion on their west side. This will cause a large number of their troops to gather in the main attack direction.
At this time we can choose to break through from the front and break into Smara in one fell swoop. Their number of defenders is below us, and their equipment is not necessarily better than ours. Moreover, they have no air support. As long as you don't make mistakes, obey your command, and act strictly in accordance with our deployment. Then the confidence of winning this battle should be more than 70%. "The actuary estimated Kishi.
"But you haven't answered me yet. If we can win, why don't we do it?" the officer asked.
The actuary Jiangan sighed, "I knew you still have to ask this. The biggest problem is that Smara is not as simple as a single city. This is one of the few cities in Western Sahara, Morocco People take it very seriously.
Therefore, once Smara falls, it is likely to cause a series of chain reactions of the Moroccan army. First, they will try to retake Smara, and they will inevitably gather surrounding troops to launch a counterattack.
With our current strength, it is difficult to withstand such a counterattack momentum. Even worse, they are likely to deploy a large number of national defense forces to besiege us in the surrounding area of ​​Smara.
This is the deadliest. Because once such a situation occurs, we will face several or even ten times as many enemy forces. So if we want to take Smara, we must first solve a problem, that is, how to deal with the next situation after taking Smara. "
The officers of the Western Sahara People’s Front also whispered to each other. Many people think that the actuary’s statement is actually very suitable for the current actual situation. This is the situation at present. Smara can be defeated, but it is basically impossible to defend after the attack.
The Moroccan army can counterattack Smara at any time. Moreover, it is very likely that the troops of the People’s Front of Western Sahara will not be able to withdraw smoothly and will be completely surrounded in the Smara area.
This situation is even more dangerous than Smara's gain and loss. This is tantamount to putting nearly two-thirds of the troops of the Western Sahara People’s Front in danger, and once their retreat is blocked, they may be wiped out by Moroccan troops.
Lin Rui looked at the map and said, "We can take down Smara, but basically we can't hold it. If we want to fight this battle well, we must first arrange the retreat route to avoid trapping the entire army."
The actuary Jiangan nodded, "I have the same idea, if Smara can't hold it at all, at least we must find a way to take the troops away safely."
"What kind of battle is this? I haven't won it yet, just thinking about retreating." General Edgar Rondo shook his head helplessly.
"This is also something that is forced by the situation, and there is no way. The Supreme Command wants to fight this battle, then we must guarantee that we can win Smara. But after taking Smara, we have to consider." The actuary shook his head.
"Then what do you think about this battle?" Lin Rui asked.
"Compared to the capture of Smara, what is more important is the several important towns around Smara, which are here and here." The actuary Jiangan pointed to the map and said, "Unless we can absolutely control the surrounding important towns. To ensure that we can evacuate safely."
"In other words, when we take down Smara, we must take down several important towns in the surrounding area." Lin Rui looked at the map and said, "Especially here. If we can take down these towns and form them A line of defense.
In the face of the enemy's counteroffensive, at least there is the ability to delay and delay them. It can also ensure that the troops can withdraw safely. "
He pointed to several towns on the map. These towns are not far from each other and are relatively concentrated. It can be said to be equivalent to the satellite city around Smara.
The actuary replied,
That’s right. In the surrounding towns, Vitambool is the leader, which we must win. But the problem now is that Vitambool is currently one of Morocco’s The station of a main force.
There is basically a fortress, even if we occupy Smara, Vitambol can hold on for a long time. If we still haven't won Vitambool after occupying Smara, then this seemingly insignificant town is likely to change the entire battle.
Morocco can use the defenders here to delay our retreat, and their mechanized troops can quickly bypass Smara, cut off our army's back path, and quickly encircle Smara.
This will cause our troops to have no time to withdraw, and they will be locked in Smara. "
"So, what if we take Vitambool first, and occupy Smara on this basis?" General Edgarrondo asked.
"That's okay, but in this case, the time for us to finally take Smara will be extended. The Moroccan army will discover our intentions.
My opinion is to feint against Smara first. This will maximize the mobilization of Vitambol's troops. They will assist the defenders of Smara. After all, Smara is relatively speaking.
As long as their troops move in the direction of Smara, we can use another force to intercept. Then while the other troops captured Smara, they captured Vitambool.
In this case, we will not waste too much time, and Vitampol will not be severely damaged. And you can use this extra time to build a defense, relying on the town of Vitenberg to build a relatively effective line of defense. "The actuary replied Jiangshi.
