Chapter 3576: Offensive and defensive swap

"On the map?" Carrian and Black Panther Gulei glanced at each other, feeling a little puzzled.
Lin Rui walked to Carrian's desk, took a pen, walked to the map, and quickly drew two lines on the map. A straight line, the other an arc.
"These two lines represent the two offensive methods of the Orumi coalition forces. Straight line represents them taking time. Regardless of your other troops, use high-speed maneuvering to advance, leaving the defensive forces behind and heading west toward Kanavia. The capital." Lin Rui pointed at the line, "This tactic has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is obvious. It is to throw off a large number of defense forces and make a perfect blitz at a high speed. In most of the Canavian army against the future When there is time to complete the defensive assembly, they will directly penetrate them and capture the capital of Canavia."
"So what's bad?" Carrian asked, looking at the straight line on the map.
"The disadvantages are also obvious. Once their offensive forces are blocked, in case there is a Canavian army that desperately defends their assaults and slows them down. Then, other Canavian forces will have enough The opportunity to help defend and encircle. At least it will make them lose the speed advantage they have won before, and at most they will fall into the embarrassing situation of being alone.
Lin Rui explained.
Carrian nodded. "Then what does this arc mean?"
"This is the safest and most cruel method." Lin Rui nodded, "They didn't choose to go deeper, but to attack in a roundabout way. Together with the Olumi Federal Army in front, they eliminated the guards in Kanavia one by one. The armed forces on the border. You should see this side on the map, and this side, there are at least three to four regiments of the Orumi Federal Army.
These forces will effectively contain the Canavian Army and severely restrict each other's support. Coupled with this troop's rearward and flank assaults, it is enough to split the line of defense you formed before, complete the area encirclement, and eliminate the active forces of the Canavian Army one by one. The most vicious thing about this plan is that you know what they are going to do, but you can't stop it. It can only be seen that they gradually split and slowly cannibalize the Canavian Army's defensive front. "
"This is what I worry about." Carrian frowned. "Now I can basically see their plan, but I don't know how to deal with it."
"There is a way to deal with it." Lin Rui nodded, "This way is to seek alive from the dead, and live after the death."
"What do you mean?" Carrian asked strangely.
"Leading the army to retreat completely, vacating the town of Baili, or completely abandoning the town of Baili. Cut this force completely from the flank." Lin Rui drew a line on the map and cut directly into the secret from Baili town. The Jabasi area controlled by the social forces.
Carrian said in surprise, "You told me to abandon the town of Berry? This is impossible. Will the military commissioner agree to this plan."
"You don't need their consent." Lin Rui looked at him and said, "You can take your people directly."
"This is leaving duty without permission! Do you really want to send me to a military court?" Carrian said in shock and anger.
"Leave your post without permission? You are the chief of the general staff and have the right to mobilize your troops flexibly according to the battlefield situation." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "Look at the map again. The reason why Jabasi Village was previously considered to have no strategic value is because of the terrain It's complicated. And there is Lake Emma behind it, so it is considered a point that is difficult to use.
Now that they have occupied the Jabas area, they must first open this section of the mountain road. Then set up a pontoon bridge on Lake Emma to pave the way for the follow-up troops to advance. This will waste a few days of their time, and within these few days, if you launch an offensive from the flank, they will be embarrassed.
The five thousand people who have just been stationed in the rear of Jabasi can cooperate with you in your actions. In addition, you have a total of 9,000 to 10,000 troops here, and they are divided into two sides. Even if it can't annihilate the opponent's five thousand people, it will be enough to retake Jabas. "
Carrian frowned and hesitated, "But in this way, we have to abandon the town of Bailey. Once the enemy has mastered the town of Bailey, it is also a great threat to us."
"It looks like this on the surface, but in fact, the town of Berry is not as important as imagined. If we control the Jabassi area, the town of Berry is only a fairly narrow passage for the enemy. As you said, They will indeed take the opportunity to capture Baili Town, but they will not rashly launch an offensive against Canavia from Baili Town until they retake Jabasit." Lin Rui replied.
"Why, what's the reason?" Carrian frowned.
"Because of the special location of Berry Town, as a defensive point, it can indeed be used as a link in the defensive chain together with several other important towns, but it has obvious shortcomings as an attack launch point. Strategically important points for offense and defense are Time is completely two concepts. When you occupy a favorable defensive position, it does not mean you have an advantage on offense.
In fact, they had only one way after they occupied the town of Berry, which caused their tactical intentions to be quickly seen through. After taking control of Jabas, you can join forces in several other important towns to seriously threaten Berry Town. If they intend to launch an offensive from the town of Berry, they must first resolve Jabbas. Otherwise, you are just a dagger on their throats, you can cut them off at any time. "Lin Rui drew a line on the map.
Black Panther Gulei looked at the map and nodded after being silent for a while, "It makes sense. This is tantamount to completely turning the current situation around. A position exchange between the enemy and the enemy is completed.
Now we are in the town of Berry, and they are in Jabas. According to this plan, we can drive them out of Jabas, although they can also occupy the town of Berry. Once such a plan is completed, the problems we are facing now will be partly transformed into their problems. "
Lin Rui nodded, "It's just the question of how we defend, to the question of how they attack."
"Creative, but very risky." Carrian whispered.
"Yes. We have to hide from the Orumi Federation Forces until we launch an offensive. First of all, this must be an unannounced side attack that caught them off guard, otherwise our intentions may be exposed." Lin Rui nodded. Said, "And you have to bear the loss of personal reputation. The Military Commission may hold you accountable. But this possibility is not too great. As long as the results meet our expectations, even if the Military Commission holds you accountable, It's just a cutscene. After all, you left your job without permission, but because of this, you regained your footing."
