Chapter 3687: Military conference

Lin Rui was led by General Logan's adjutant to the combat meeting room. He had notified the officers under General Logan to hold a military meeting in advance.
Lin Rui led people to the meeting room and sat down, nodding to General Logan's adjutant, "It's time to start."
"Yes, sir." The adjutant nodded and said, "The general has authorized Mr. Rick to command this battle, so this meeting will be chaired by Mr. Rick."
Lin Rui glanced at a group of black officers sitting in the conference room, nodded and said, "I believe that many of you know me. There are many others who have fought alongside me.
In Anmore, we fought the cruelest battle together and survived the battle. But now, we may face the most critical battle since you entered Canavia.
I can say without exaggeration that this battle will determine the future of Anmore and you all. "Lin Rui walked to the front of the map and pointed at the map with a pen, "The key point is, Gilando. "
The officers present could not help but whisper to each other.
"As we all know, Gilando is the border city of Canavia that is closest to Anmore. Once the Orumi Federal Forces take over there, it will pose a huge threat to the entire eastern front of Canavia.
So Gilando must be taken, and it must be taken as soon as possible. Regarding specific operations. "Lin Rui put down his pencil. "I want to hear your opinions." "
The officers looked at each other without speaking.
Lin Rui smiled, "Everyone can talk freely. You have been here for a while, and you should know more about Gilando than me. I want to hear everyone's views on this battle at this meeting."
"Gierando is not easy to fight. There are nearly 4,000 Orumi Federation forces there, and they are the 3rd and 7th Orumi Federation regiments with rich combat experience.
We played against them many times in Anmore. These two regiments can be said to be the main force of the Orumi Federal Army. They have experienced many battles and have rich experience.
Plus they have a defensive advantage. We also lack heavy artillery. If we were to attack, the loss would be very large. "An Anmore officer replied.
Lin Rui nodded, "I agree with this view. Does anyone have any comments?"
A young black officer stood up and said, "Maybe we can think of a way. Instead of attacking from their front, we return to their flank.
The defense there will be relatively weak, but this is not easy, and large-scale troop movements cannot fail to attract their attention. unless……"
"Unless what?" Lin Rui asked rhetorically.
"Unless we disperse our forces, use one force to pretend to attack, attract most of the enemy's attention, and then use a part of the force to detour back to their flank." The young officer explained.
"It's interesting." Lin Rui nodded, "I have this idea too. But I still want to hear your careful analysis."
The massaging young officer thought for a while and said, "I've been to Gillando before, which is a medium-sized city. I am also familiar with the local terrain. If the Orumi Federal Army has already occupied it, then their defense focus must be In the south.
Because under normal circumstances, there will be the focus of our attack. But on their northeast side, it should be the weakest place.
If we can draw all their attention to the south, send another force to attack from the northeast side of Gilando. We will soon take down the main road of this city. That is Highway 9. "
Lin Rui nodded, "What is the purpose of doing this?"
"Because Highway 9 runs through the entire city of Gilando, once we control Highway 9, we can separate the defenders in the city. They cannot take care of both the north and the south.
According to the local terrain, a large number of enemy troops will be blocked by us in the southern region. As long as our troops in the south maintain a basic offensive, our troops in the northeast can complete a large encirclement of the enemy's main force. "The black officer explained.
Lin Rui nodded and pointed to the location of the map, "In other words, block them in this area."
"Yes, sir. The supplies of the Federal Army of Orumi are basically transported by rail from southern Anmore. By doing so, we are equivalent to trapping a large number of their main force in an area without supply support. Inside," the young black officer replied.
"The enemy is under siege and lack of supplies." Lin Rui nodded and said, "I must give high praise for this idea. Have you ever thought that we can't completely wipe out these enemies in a short period of time.
The enemy forces in Anmore couldn't have watched their two main groups be besieged. They will definitely try to mobilize reinforcements from Anmore.
We may be able to trap them for three or four days, which is not enough to make them exhausted. The enemy forces in the north of Anmore will quickly move south.
When they arrive, our troops surrounding them will be caught in a chaotic battle with enemy reinforcements. The enemy forces trapped in the southern part of the city are likely to revive their morale and launch a counterattack against us. "
The black officer hesitated, "I haven't thought about this."
"So my approach is to pretend to attack the front of the enemy as you said, and then complete the roundabout tactics from the flank, cutting the enemy, and confining them to southern Gilando.
The besieged enemies will definitely find a way to break through, and under normal circumstances they will definitely break through to the north. So at this time we have to strengthen the offensive on the north side, causing them to make mistakes in interpreting our tactics.
They will think that our main direction of attack is the north side, and the south side is just a feint. At this time they will turn to break through to the south.
At this time, we must open an opening in the southern encirclement. Let them out. "Lin Rui pointed at the map.
"Release the trapped enemy army?" A massage officer couldn't understand.
"Yes, we trapped them, but they can stick to the city terrain and fight us in the street. We have no heavy artillery, no air support, and no armored force, so it costs even one or two to lay down every street and alley. Days.
We can't bear such a result, so we have to let them see hope and let them break out from the south.
Because they would never expect that in the south of Gilando, that is, in this location... we will set up an encirclement to wipe them out in one fell swoop. "Lin Rui replied, pointing at the map.
"But why are these enemy troops who broke out going there?" Officer Anmore asked.
"You need to think like your enemy. If you are surrounded here, your retreat is blocked, and you finally break through from the other direction, what would you do?
Of course it is to find the nearest friendly forces. The Orumi Federal Force, the nearest to Gilando, is in this position.
Therefore, the place where we set up ambush is on the only way for them to evacuate. And even if other Union forces in Orumi know this, they must be unable to carry out rescue operations. "Lin Rui said slowly.
