Chapter 2213: Fighting Welwitschia

In modern warfare, the mobilization of more than 3,000 troops is really not a big action. But in the eyes of these little warlords in Africa, it is already a big battle. Because most of the time, their warfare is just a kind of regional conflict. Usually two tribes armed, or several small warlords fired at each other; or a little more elaborate, there was a sporadic shelling. The most intense is the half-hour sparse gun battle, even if it is over.
Naturally, many people are not needed for fighting like them. Therefore, most of Le Ansen's officers have never seen such a big battle. More than a dozen vehicles rushed at the same time, carrying some soldiers to a certain place with billowing smoke and dust, and then turned around to pick up another group of soldiers. Stopping people, not stopping the car, back and forth, these black soldiers, although confused, don't know what they are going to do, they only know to follow the command of the officer. The command of Cobain and others made the originally complicated round-trip transfer simpler.
At least these black soldiers have begun to get nervous psychologically in the rush of going back and forth, amidst the shouting of the officer, and they are no longer as loose as before.
"Kebain, what's the overall progress of the march?" Lin Rui used a communicator in the car to contact Cobain who was far away on St. Kaiser Island.
Cobain's answer basically satisfied him: "Except for two vehicles that broke down halfway and delayed a little progress, most of the vehicles' marching progress still met expectations. In four hours, you should be able to reach Bellevue Town."
Lin Rui breathed a sigh of relief, "How is the situation in Baisuilan Town?"
"The rebels can't communicate with them. There should be no major problems with their people in Baisuilan Town. The Orumi government forces have not launched any offensive against them. You should be able to join them in the evening." Cobain replied.
"Very good." Lin Rui switched to the team channel. "General Le Ansen, we will arrive in Baisuilan Town in the evening. At that time, we can let a small unit contact the rebel guerrillas in the town to avoid misunderstanding. It also prevents the government troops from being disturbed."
"Understood." Le Ansen replied, "Unbelievable, we can really cross this desert in one day and complete this march."
"So we already have a certain advantage, the next thing is to turn this advantage into victory." Lin Rui replied. "After we converge, we only have half an hour to prepare, and then we must immediately launch a full-scale offensive against the government forces and must penetrate their defense lines before they can react."
"Understood." Le Ansen replied. "Once we meet with the guerrillas in Baisuilan Town, we will attack immediately."
On the evening of the 12th, under the command of Lin Rui and others, an infantry wing of the Rebel Rebels of the Anjie organization adopted concealed interspersed tactics and swiftly passed through the triple defense line deployed by the Orumi government. Like a silent arrow, it pierced the bridge northwest of Baisuilan Town and drove into Baisuilan Town. At the same time, the other two coalitions hardly made any unnecessary stops and immediately blocked the retreat of the Orumi government army, and packed all the more than 1,000 people of the Orumi government into their pockets.
At dawn on the 16th, the local commander of the Orumi Federation Army woke up to find that he had fallen into the enemy's circle, and was greatly panicked. He even suspected that these rebels must have used airborne tactics, otherwise the rebels in Baisuilan Town would not have such a large scale.
While the government forces ordered the bombing of some facilities to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy, they hurriedly organized a breakthrough. For a whole day, two important towns near Baisuilan Town were violently attacked at the same time. Thick smoke billowed over the government camp, explosion sounded endlessly, and countless pieces of buildings collapsed in the fire and smoke, turning into piles of charred ruins. The anti-government army smashed all the last heavy weapons here.
The Orumi government forces' breakthrough was completely futile, and the disordered Orumi government forces organized an offensive hastily. In front of the reckless and powerful firepower of the rebels, he was hit to pieces, leaving patches of messy corpses. By the evening of the 17th, the Orumi government army had not been able to move a step forward except for discarding about four to five hundred corpses in front of the enemy position.
At night, the anti-government guerrillas, who are good at night warfare, sent a small team to carry out night attacks, so the two towns were full of shooting and killing. The soldiers of the Orumi government army were in the dark and killed each other. The commander of the Orumi government army shouted desperately on the radio:
"...We're almost done, General. No one can save us. There are too many of them! There are artillery and heavy weapons. They must be the main resistance forces hidden in the desert."
"It's impossible. They are trapped in the desert. They will not be able to attack in such a short time, unless a miracle can happen. It must be a small-scale harassment. You must stand firm and wait for our reinforcements." Orumi The chief of the government army sternly ordered to stick. They also don't believe in miracles.
However, the miracle really happened.
Just after midnight, a convoy full of anti-government soldiers suddenly appeared north of the position under cover of fire. When dawn was approaching, the Beizhen position was recovered. Another wing continued to attack the government under the cover of the firepower of the previous troops. The fierce rockets and vehicle-mounted recoilless guns defeated the enemies that were caught off guard.
Although recoilless guns are showing their senility under the vigorous development of various weapons and portable missiles. But this kind of powerful weapon is cheaper, and it can also bloom new flowers through various modifications. These 82mm recoilless guns of the Resistance have a 4-round revolving structure, which can fire single shots or 4-round bursts. It can not only be loaded on assault vehicles, but also on motorcycles, which can greatly improve the ability of mobile infantry. Equipped with armed pickup trucks, the ground is scurrying, and the firepower is fierce.
Lin Rui and the others took a fancy to this point and allowed the two rebel wing to suppress them in both directions. Then the remaining heavy firepower of the rebels was concentrated and focused on attacking the government's fortifications. This had a miraculous effect.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the commander-in-chief of the Orumi government forces received a report: the position in North Town was captured and a brigade of government forces was wiped out.
The pocket was opened, and the soldiers of the resistance army succumbed to the death of a beast rushed across the defense line like a flood bursting a bank. The government forces began to retreat. They abandoned countless vehicles and weapons, and then retreated desperately north. The government troops rushing to help finally failed to prevent this fatal rout. The rebels did not hesitate and took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield.
Looking at the ruins full of bullet marks, Lin Rui lowered his head and picked up a bullet case from the ground. The bullet case still smelled of gunpowder. Lin Rui took a deep breath and pinched the cartridge case in his hand. Then he turned into the car and evacuated with the large forces. He did it, they did it! ! !
The Battle of Baisuilan was the first victory of the Anjie organization's rebels in recent months, and it was also the first victory achieved under the indirect command of Lin Rui and others. Although such a victory is far from being brilliant, after all, at a critical moment, they knocked a small gap in the enemy's line of defense, thus saving the main resistance of the army from destruction.
