Chapter 4186: Sleepless night

Lin Rui returned to the temporary headquarters and leaned against the corner wearily. Sergey walked over and threw him a can. "Some tuna? It was left when the Moroccan troops evacuated. The good news is that it hasn't expired yet. How about the defensive deployment?"
"Probably it means that. No one can tell what the is going on." Lin Rui shook his head, "How are the artillery troops preparing?"
"The rocket battalion is ready, but it is not realistic to use them to fight tanks. At most, they can only provide suppressing firepower to cover the withdrawal of Smara's troops." Jiang Jian replied.
"Where is the mortar?" Lin Rui said.
"Most of the mortars have already been assigned to us. Most of them are 82mm mortars. But it's a bit too close to use them to deal with armor." Jiang Kishi shook his head.
"Not necessarily. Although mortars are unreliable to hit tanks, they are not impossible under special circumstances. Mortars are curved guns that can attack without the enemy's sight.
The prerequisite is that the enemy tanks must be blocked in a long and narrow area that does not move in an area with sufficiently complex terrain. The top armor of the tank is generally weaker than other parts. If the mortar fire is concentrated for bombing, it is not impossible to deal with the tank.
Moreover, the enemy will not only use tanks to advance, and the terrain is complicated, so they must use tanks for coordination. The use of high-explosive shells, even if the tank cannot be destroyed, will cause great casualties to the group of infantry around the tank. "Quaima replied.
"This idea is okay. Compared with firepower, we are completely weak. These mortars may be able to give us a little initiative. Try to deploy them in a favorable position." Lin Rui nodded.
"It's purely Yankee firepower dependence. Mortars don't have any accurate heads. We now assume that the shells can hit the tank. Then the shells must fall from the air, overlooking the tank from the air. Most of the top armor of the tank is .Then the mortar has a certain possibility of destroying the tank.
But in fact, such opportunities are rare, and it is impossible to guarantee that the mortar will land on the tank. My opinion is to use these artillery to deal with a small number of enemy infantry. But use incendiary. If the group is launched, this is a barrage.
The enemy infantry will definitely be burned to the point of howling, but at the same time, the high temperature of 2100 degrees is attached to burning, which is not a good thing for the tank. And the smoke from burning is toxic. Due to terrain constraints, as long as we destroy one or two tanks, the other tanks cannot move temporarily.
The personnel inside the tank were either killed by the smoke or had to venture out. "Sausage shook his head.
"The problem is that we don't have so many incendiary mortar bombs. Most of them are high-explosive and anti-personnel bombs." Kuaima spread his hands and said.
"Don't fight and deploy according to the idea of ​​fast horses. How are the sausages, anti-tank mines and roadside bombs prepared?" Lin Rui asked.
"All the preparations are complete, but now I have used all our reserves. The People's Front of Western Sahara, there are only a few possessions in total." Sausage shook his head.
"What about precautions?" Lin Rui whispered.
"We urgently contacted Kobain and asked him to use satellites to observe the developments of the Moroccan military. Once they find that their armored units are approaching, we will be notified as soon as possible. All the soldiers have entered a state of combat readiness, and all troops have carried out large-scale operations. Take turns.
Ensure that all soldiers can get a certain rest time, because next, we may have to face an arduous street fighting. At that time, everyone may not have time to rest. "Jian An replied.
"Okay, it seems that everything that should be prepared is almost ready. You guys go and rest, too. Don't let the enemy come, but you are tired first." Lin Rui smiled.
"Impossible, Lao Tzu's nerves are stronger than steel wire." Sergey grinned.
Lin Rui turned around while eating canned tuna, "Don't brag about it, no one is stronger than anyone else. They are just as fathers and mothers. I'll make it clear to you first. Everyone is concerned about the danger of this mission. I know, I don’t need to say anything.
You have been with me for so long, and I don't want to see any of you die in this place. I only have one request, let me live well. I don't want to send ashes to your home. "
After speaking, Lin Rui leaned against the corner of the wall and slowly closed his eyes. He couldn't sleep at all, his mind was surprisingly clear. But he must take a good rest, otherwise he doesn't know if he can close his eyes in the next two days.
Not knowing how long it took, he felt someone pat his shoulder, "Don't pretend to be asleep, you can't sleep like me anyway. How about getting up and chatting?"
Lin Rui didn't need to open his eyes to know that the speaker was Jiang An, an actuary.
"You can't sleep either?" He opened his eyes and looked at Jiang An.
Mae Kishi smiled tiredly, "The one who can fall asleep in this situation is either an extremely tired person who can fall asleep standing up, or a simple-minded person. Unfortunately, neither of us ."
Lin Rui also smiled, slowly propped up his body, and sat up.
The actuary handed him a cigarette and lit it for him. "What do you think of this mission? To be honest..."
"To be honest, there are many evils. I'm not kidding. This is really bad." Lin Rui sighed.
"You don't need to say this, I also know. I mean, are you prepared for our evacuation after completing the task?" The actuary lowered his voice.
"If we can hold on for 1 to 2 days and ensure that Vitambol will not be captured, we should have a chance to retreat." Lin Rui thought carefully. "We can withdraw like the southeast direction. After occupying Vitambol, the enemy should not continue to pursue us southeast, but will attack Smara with all their strength.
After all, that is their goal. So our biggest difficulty is to stick to Vitambool, not how to evacuate. "
"But what if the enemy insists on pursuing us?" Jiang Jishi reminded, "With such a small number of us, even with the 2nd regiment of General Edgar Rondo, I am afraid it will not be able to withstand the pursuit of enemy armored units."
"Probably not, because we are not the main goal of these enemy forces. Their main goal is to retake Smara." Lin Rui thought for a while.
"But if we push them into a hurry and make their losses too heavy, they are likely to split a part of their troops to pursue us." The actuary said in a low voice.
"Then what do you think should be done?" Lin Rui asked.
"We do not evacuate to the southeast, but to the northeast. Then they will think that we are going to Smara. Then they will attack Smara with all their strength. At that time, we suddenly turn to the southeast. A better choice." Jiang An said in a low voice.
Lin Rui smiled and nodded, "You are always more thoughtful than I think."
