Chapter 5116: Field fight

What Lin Rui needs to consider most is not these defensive positions, but artillery positions.
In this kind of blocking and defensive operations, artillery plays a very important role.
Through many bursts of artillery shooting, wounding the opponent's personnel, weapons and equipment, and attacking the opponent's fighting will become very important.
Moreover, it is possible to intersperse sabotage shooting, surveillance shooting, and disrupt the deployment of enemy forces between two sudden attacks.
And they now occupy the defensive initiative. The opponent is in an open area where there is no danger, and the superior firepower of the artillery can undoubtedly be reflected.
Lin Rui's idea was that once he exchanged fire with the enemy, he would immediately hit his own artillery fire, and his troops would attack the back of the enemy's leading troops.
To cut off their connection with reinforcements and supplies. In an unfamiliar ground environment, the enemy's vanguard troops were destroyed, captured or driven back before they could consolidate their positions.
This attack method is straightforward, simple and rude. When the enemy reacted, he had already suffered a round of fierce shelling.
But the actuarial magigi believed that it would be better to deploy the artillery positions in batches. Set up multiple artillery blockades to clearly differentiate the coverage area of ​​each artillery group.
After the two discussed, they decided to change the plan slightly. After the initial artillery fire was suppressed, the artillery was redeployed in batches.
In fact, the Orumi Federation Forces came faster than they expected. Only after the initial deployment of their defensive base was completed, the enemy's vanguard had already arrived.
Although it was impossible to say that everything was ready, after a few hours of preparation, Lin Rui had something in his heart.
The Orumi Federal Army's vanguard forces have spotted them and launched at least a battalion-scale offensive from multiple directions.
The actuary believes that based on the previous battles of the Orumi Federal Army, when they launched the offensive, the vanguard forces had at least lurked to the forward position, within 500 meters.
So Lin Rui immediately commanded the artillery to fire several times at three points within 500 meters.
But the forward troops reported that there was no anomaly in front of the position. However, the actual situation is very terrifying, as the actuaries expected, the Orumi Federal Army has indeed lurked in.
And their artillery accurately hit the opponent's vanguard. But I have to admire the quality and discipline of the Orumi Federal Army. No one groaned from the wounded. Some of the seriously wounded did not move until they died.
This caused a serious misjudgment at the forward observation post of the mercenary unit.
When the Orumi Federation Army launched an offensive across the board, it really caught the mercenary force by surprise. As soon as the two sides came up, they staggered their forces and exchanged fierce fire.
At this time Lin Rui finally reacted in time. The artillery troops were ordered to launch a salvo, and the 107 rockets fired three or four volleys in one breath.
The front of the blockade position, two hundred meters away. Hit back and forth around multiple points. The follow-up echelon of the Orumi Federal Army was firmly blocked by artillery fire.
Afterwards, the Orumi Federal Army launched two assaults, but there was still no way out.
In addition to the front of the position, the artillery position also carried out fire suppression on the enemy's depth in accordance with Lin Rui's order. In addition to suppressing the enemy’s artillery, it covers the enemy’s deep roads and troop assembly points.
This trick did work, assembling at the enemy's rear. Some of the formed Orumi Federal Forces were directly covered by artillery fire before they got out of the vehicle.
To a certain extent, the artillery force caused considerable losses to the Oulum.
But on the forward positions, the Orumi Federal Army responded fairly quickly. They immediately retreated and reorganized.
Some mercenaries were eager to try, but Lin Rui sternly emphasized that they would never leave the position to fight sports warfare, and divide the troops to guard the position. They do not seek to wipe out the enemy forces, but to delay the enemy as much as possible.
The enemy's offensive slowed down a bit, and the mercenaries continued their unfinished preparations for the fortifications.
An anti-aircraft machine gun was placed by the mercenaries into a semi-sinking flat-bottomed pit nearly two meters deep that was just dug out. He just made this flat-bottomed pit, an anti-aircraft machine gun bunker.
A large-caliber anti-aircraft weapon obtained from an armed pickup was changed to a flat fire. It is used to block the maneuvers of the Orumi Federal Army from a long distance.
This thing was used to shoot down planes, but now it is used to hit people. Anti-aircraft machine guns with a caliber of more than 12 mm shoot out like a storm.
Even ordinary projectiles without an explosive device at the front end are enough to destroy armed pickups and some light armor. If it happened to hit someone, it would be killed by a single shot, and without the whole body.
The offensive of the Olumemie Federal Forces was only slightly stagnant, and then pushed back toward the front of the position.
The fighting between the two sides was fierce, with bursts of gunfire one after another. Grenades and. The explosion of rockets rang everywhere.
In the case of an unfavorable start, the Orumi Federal Army's offensive was not smooth. They took nearly two hours to capture it. A small plateau on the north and two locations on the south.
But the mercenaries used light and heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to form a crossfire to block their way forward.
The Orumi Federal Army tried to use a small highland to the north as its core to suppress the mercenaries' positions.
After several unsuccessful attempts, they realized that the number of these mercenary units on the opposite side was probably quite large.
In addition to the light and heavy machine guns of the infantry, the mercenaries also have several cannons transferred from General Hassan, several anti-aircraft machine guns, and one anti-aircraft gun. It forms a cross-firepower network combining far and near.
And these heavy weapons are placed in solid tunnels. The Orumi EFF fired a counterattack, and the mercenaries retreated into the tunnel bunker.
The infantry of the Olume Federal Army began to attack, and these heavy weapons were pulled out of the tunnel again. The Hassan River has become a natural hidden tunnel.
There was no better way for the Orumi Federation Forces. But the Red Baron is no ordinary person after all, he immediately ordered to adjust his tactics and attacked several positions at the same time.
And the time and progress of the offense coordinated very well. This time, the artillery and infantry of the Union Army in Orongi coordinated more precisely.
The artillery fire extended, and the infantry must have been close to the mercenary position. At the same time, the companies that attacked different mercenary highlands tried to suppress the mercenaries' heavy weapons in the tunnels.
Soldiers from both sides strangled into a ball at the front of the position. There are corpses everywhere, full of flesh and blood, and some stumps are still scattered on the ground. In the front of the position, there are weapons and ammunition left over from the fighting between the two sides everywhere.
Blood-stained first aid supplies and other military supplies can be seen everywhere.
The mercenaries' infantry anti-aircraft machine guns, howitzers and anti-aircraft guns are all mixed together. Attempt to stop the Orumi Federal Army's offensive.
Lin Rui had already given an order to push the cannon to a distance of only 800 meters from the position. Shoot the enemy at close range. Suppress the enemy's follow-up forces with the greatest strength, making it difficult for the enemy's offensive to form a sustained situation.
