Chapter 5114: Divide the Soldiers in Three Ways

"What are you going to do?" Lin Rui asked.
"The first is the timing. The intelligence team has entered Metmar Faq. They will report to us all the timely situation of the Jihadist Alliance in a timely manner.
Secondly, we must prepare a strong organization force to intercept the Olumi state forces who are going to Metmarfaq to take over the city.
Finally, the troops that raided Metmarfaq.
We have to ensure that this force will not be disturbed during the raid on Metmar Faq.
After they occupy Metmarfaq, the intercepting forces must withdraw strategically and assist the assault troops to hold onto Metmarfaq. "The actuary looked at everyone.
"You mean we must divide our troops into two groups. On the one hand, we must organize a troop to intercept, on the other hand, we will send another troop to occupy Metmar Fagor." Lin Rui nodded.
The actuary smiled and said, "Actually, the troops are divided into three groups. The mission of the assault force is very clear, which is to occupy Mike Malfaq as soon as possible and establish a line of defense on the spot.
The task of intercepting troops is somewhat complicated. The first is to intercept the Orumi Federation forces and buy time for the assault forces.
In addition, this force has to be divided into two, one part is used for summarization, and the other part is used for cover and retreat. And in the process of retreating, it creates illusions to confuse the enemy.
To achieve the goal of the entire interception force withdrawing safely to Metmar Faq. "
"It's a bit interesting, keep talking." Lin Rui nodded.
"In order to formulate this plan, I made a total of several plans, but in the end I chose the blocking position here." The actuary put his finger on the map.
This is the site of a village located on the Wadi Hart, between Brak and Metmarfaq.
And if the Orumi Federation forces want to reach Metmar Fagor as quickly as possible, this position is the key point they can’t get around.
They must start from Brak, continue westward, and cross the Wadi Hart in order to achieve the fastest speed theoretically.
So I will choose to intercept at this position. Moreover, due to terrain constraints, the stop location we chose is itself located at a commanding height on the Wadi Hart.
Except for the ruins of this village, the front is empty, without any building block or cover. This means that the enemy is in the absence of any cover, which is conducive to our firepower and strangling the enemy.
And the Wadi Hart is currently a dry river with dry flow. It is equivalent to providing us with a fairly solid trench defense line. "
Sausage hesitated for a moment and asked, "What if the enemy is eager to invade Metmarfaq and don't do anything with us and bypass the Wadi Hart line?"
The actuary shook his head, "They won't do it, if they do. We will switch from defense to offense, and divide them in two from the enemy's midway.
Let go of the strikers and let them attack Metmarfaq. Instead, surround and eat their follow-up troops.
With just these few front troops, even if they reached Metmar Faq, they could not break our defenses.
This is tantamount to being forced to divide the forces and hand over the good situation to us. No commander would make such a reckless choice, unless he was a thorough layman.
The Red Baron is definitely not a layman, in fact he is very strict in military tactics. From the battles we have observed many times, he hardly made any mistakes in the battles that the Red Baron personally commanded. "
"This is also true. In the face of a strong interception, it is indeed not a good idea to force a detour regardless of the enemy's interception of the troops.
The Red Baron will definitely try to get rid of this blocking force instead of letting it go. "Lin Rui nodded, "Moreover, we can create a false impression to make them mistakenly believe that we are going for Braque.
In this case, the Red Baron has no reason to let go of this blocking force.
If they lose Brak in order to enter Metmarfaq. Wouldn't it be like a bear breaking corn, breaking the next one, and throwing another, completely in vain? "
"Yes, this is the key. That's why I split this interception force into two. One part of the force undertakes the interception task, and the other force makes a roundabout harassment posture.
This will make them mistakenly believe that our goal is actually set at Braque, with the intention of copying their back path. Only in the process of marching, I encountered them halfway through.
Because the place where we set up ambush is the only way to Braque. Adding up these elements, the Red Baron would never let this blocking force be easily.
The other is the size of this interception force. We must send more than 6,000 people. An army of 6,000 people, with heavy weapons, only performs the task of interception and harassment. This is hard for him to believe. "The actuary explained Kishi.
"A blocking force of five or six thousand people, is this still a blocking force? As far as the operations in Western Sahara are concerned, this is basically the scale of the main offensive force." Kuaima said in surprise.
"Yes, we just want to surprise the other party. Let them have self-doubt. Hesitation and suspicion are big taboos in commanding operations.
The Red Baron is a man with a firm character and decisive action. But if he realizes that we might attack Braque, even he will feel tricky. "
Lin Rui nodded, "But in fact, we arranged this for ulterior motives. We sent a large number of troops to intercept. One is to take into account the strength of the Union Army in Orubi. The other is because Metmafaq's current defense is empty. , Most of the forces of the Jihad Alliance have been transferred to Cavo Bogador.
Mike Malfaq is in a state of waiting for the handover of the forces of both sides, and his own defensive strength is insufficient. We don't need to invest too much force to take down Metmar Faq.
On the contrary, the troops of the Orumi Federation are strong, and their threat to us is far greater than the forces of the Jihadist Alliance.
Therefore, we deposited a large amount of troops in the Hart River Basin to intercept the Orumi Federal Army. This is the point of the plan, right? "
"That's right, we will allocate our troops in strict accordance with the strength of the enemy. Even if the intercepting force encounters a strong attack by the Orumi Federal Army.
We are not without the ability to confront them, and all we have to do is to contain them. "The actuary explained Kishi.
"I basically agree with your interception plan, but what about the evacuation deployment? What do you think?" Lin Rui nodded.
"When our troops have taken Otmarfaq and established basic defenses, the intercepting troops will consider retreating, but if they retreat directly, they will easily be pursued by the enemy and cause losses.
So we split this force before, creating the illusion that we are heading towards Braque. Weaken their chasing power and cover the main retreat. "The actuary replied Jiangshi.
