Chapter 4972: Noon offensive

Actuary Jang An's idea was quickly implemented. Some local armed factions in Western Sahara also have camel teams and convoys.
Those locals have a tradition of acting as desert caravan guards since ancient times. They feel that since they are helping transport goods, they are not helping each other in war. What's more, the other party still paid the money and acted within his own sphere of influence. What's the problem? Luck!
In addition, Hassan’s old father-in-law, Mutombo, is also a well-known military leader and has a high reputation in the local area.
Under his appeal, almost all the local armed factions took on the task of assisting in the delivery of goods.
Lin Rui arranged four main supply points along his route. All armed by these places to help deliver goods.
Various camel convoys were busy transporting them on the militants' sites in these places. Bring the supplies they need. They were sent to the above supply points respectively.
And the last stop is by. Lin Rui's logistics team is responsible for transporting to the battlefield. In this way, it is equivalent to splitting the entire heavy logistics task into several small pieces and subcontracting them to these local armed groups.
In less than a week of preparation, the troops entered a state where they could launch an attack at any time.
Lin Rui didn't hesitate at all, and immediately led the team to launch an offensive towards Imilikli.
Most of this area is barren desert, too big for both of them. Compared with the vast landforms, the large numbers of troops that continuously attacked each other seemed isolated and scarce.
Hassan’s army, which is responsible for the main offensive task, is close to two thousand men, constantly moving against the enemy. Sometimes they will gather with other troops, sometimes they will fight together, but they are often far away from each other. There are a large number of unguarded and almost unguarded areas in between. Because no one will fortify in the desert.
But it is also because the flanks and rear of these arrangements are often exposed, allowing the enemy to make strategic actions or strategic detours.
Therefore, the troops cannot easily and fearlessly move forward, lest there are enemies, and attack quickly from an unimaginable angle. Mainly to control the lines of communication and move forward.
So many people in the desert area consume food, water and various items every day. Without a large amount of supplies coming in, no troops can survive for more than a week.
Moreover, a key fortress behind him was lost by a surprise attack, an important road was cut off and a bridge was blown up, and a supply point was breached in a certain place, which may mean the defeat of the battle.
The actuaries are soberly aware of this, so in addition to using the local armed forces to assist in logistics transportation, they also consciously organized a force for rear cover.
Emiri Kli in this regard. The terrorists also paid a great price. They built multiple trench lines. Carefully researched by all means constructed fortifications for the final defense.
Behind the trenches there are artillery and artillery groups supporting each other as backing. In the early days of the battle, Imirikli was outside. There are fierce, shocking fighting situations everywhere.
Both sides are somewhat underprepared. Not only the terrorists of the Jihad Alliance, but also Lin Rui's side. They went into battle too soon, but due to the situation, they had to hurry. Because they must not wait for the arrival of terrorist reinforcements.
In that case they will not be able to take Emery Kli. So there is only a quick decision, even if the preparation is very hasty.
Lin Rui and others did not carefully plan their offensive after long-term preparation. On the side of the Jihadist League, there was no preparation for months of resistance.
Both sides challenged hastily.
The situation leading to the first battle was quite chaotic. There were military movements everywhere, and there were accidents and accidents everywhere, causing losses of varying proportions.
Emiri Kli, located on the Wadi Assad. Between the Wadi Hart, there is a desert around it.
This vast area is set up with defense zones. It is the largest concentration of military supplies and military institutions in the western Sahara of the Jihad Alliance.
There is a barracks hospital, an arsenal, and a circle of fortresses around the city. Surrounded by open and undulating barren deserts.
Emiri Kli and several nearby affiliated towns formed a strategic barrier on this desert, forming a shield that is difficult to invade.
In the early days of the battle, the main purpose of Lin Rui and others was to quickly occupy and control several cities and towns around Emiri Kli. Require the fastest speed, not waiting for the other party to fully mobilize before conquering these towns.
General Hassan’s infantry and a large number of artillery, along with motorcyclists and automobiles, quickly and comprehensively went into the offensive. But they also encountered strong resistance from the Jihadist Alliance.
In the war, the worst is still the civilians. These Western Saharan civilians have lived in this barren land for generations. Their daily lives are hard, but they are still full of concerns and hopes. They graze or work, and they should be staying at home with their wives and children. Thinking about how to live the life, or live better.
I didn't realize that the war had approached them and would take everything from them.
The battle was fierce from the beginning.
The Jihadist League is still very influential in this area. Under the supervision of bullets, steel, machine guns, mortars, and armed vehicles. Many local civilians were forced to take up weapons and became veritable cannon fodder in this battle.
At the headquarters, Lin Rui got the news.
"The terrorists are forcing the civilians to take up weapons and charge. Among them are even women and children." Lin Rui slammed his fist on the table angrily.
"This is the battlefield! There are no civilians on the battlefield, all weapons are enemies. Unless they lay down their weapons." General Hassan corrected.
"Then what are you going to do? Ask your people to fire on women and children?" Lin Rui said angrily.
"What choice do we have?" Hassan shook his head. "Either win or fail."
"Even if this battle is won, how do we control Emery Kli? In the hateful eyes of countless people? They will never forget that we killed their family." Quinn also disagrees with Hassan. Practice loudly.
"Many of these locals are not Western Saharans, and many are immigrants from Morocco." Hassan shook his head.
"So what? Are Moroccans not humans?" General Quinn glared.
"General Quinn, you give me a clearer mind. The civilians you call are charging at us with weapons." General Hassan said sharply. "If they rush to you with a weapon, can you still say that?"
"Don't fight. I have a way to temporarily stop the offense, set up a line of defense, and pull a security zone. If you find someone to shout to them and put down the weapon after entering the security zone, we will not fire.
Otherwise, all fire and kill. "Lin Rui said calmly. "Tell them that we don't kill civilians, but those who fire on us are no longer civilians, but terrorists." "
