Chapter 3723: Guerrilla habit

Colonel Buck's concern was not unreasonable, it was only a few minutes later. The gunshots in front rang again.
Colonel Buck and several of his officers are not surprised that this small-scale attack has arrived. According to the practice of Anmore's troops along the way, if they don't attack them, they will still feel abnormal.
Colonel Buck gave an order at that time, "The front forces spread to the wings and enter a defensive state. Give a lesson to these damned Anmore guerrillas.
The follow-up troops continue to move forward, and we can't let these guys delay our pace. "
As a result, the reaction of the other party was somewhat beyond their expectations. It's not like before, just run away after a few shots.
These Anmor troops were as excited as they were fighting with blood, and they actually fought a serious battle with the front troops of the Orumi Federal Army. The battle is much fiercer than before.
Because Crazy Horse received the order, it was necessary to buy enough time for the rear defense organization. So he led these Anmor soldiers to fight quite hard.
And for these Orumi Federation forces, they still have certain advantages. They have more than a dozen armed trucks spread out across the board.
The vehicle-mounted machine gun has become a mobile firepower point. The front forces of the Orumi Federal Army had not yet deployed their defenses on the two wings, before they were hit hard.
The firepower stunned the Orumi Federation forces. This is because although these Anmor troops had also organized attacks on them along the way, they had basically never fought them head-on.
Usually it is to launch a round of attacks, take advantage of it, and then go away. This time I didn't know what was going on, a dozen armed trucks were suddenly dispatched, and about hundreds of infantrymen followed the vehicles to cover, and launched a fierce attack on the Orumi Federal Army.
The military quality of these Anmor soldiers under General Logan is not inferior to that of the Orumi Federal Army, and their equipment is quite good. Compared with general local warlord troops, it is much stronger.
Therefore, in this fight, the Orumi Federation forces in the front still felt that they were still a bit unable to withstand the opponent's offensive. Immediately ask for reinforcements from Colonel Buck.
Colonel Buck felt strange to himself, what is going on? But his mind was still sober, and he immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and organize defenses on the spot.
Because he instinctively felt that this attack was different from the past, and the enemy was much stronger than before in the amount and armed situation. Could it be that the enemy army has decided to fight against itself?
Well, it must be so. The enemy's troops are heading for the city of Anmore. And in Anmore City, there are two regiments of the Orumi Federal Army.
They should be afraid of being flanked back and forth, so they desperately launched an attack on the Orumi Federal Forces midway.
Colonel Buck gritted his teeth. In this case, he would simply fight the enemy. When the brave meets on a narrow road, the brave wins. Although his side suffered successive setbacks along the way, it did not hurt his vitality and may not lose to the other side.
But just when Colonel Buck was about to order all the follow-up troops to concentrate. When fighting a good battle with others, the troops in front suddenly reported back, saying that although the enemy was fighting fiercely, they still withdrew.
Colonel Buck breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but despise these Anmore troops a bit more.
"This group of Anmor people is actually nothing more than that. They are all local warlords, and they can't get rid of the guerrilla habits of irregular troops.
After all, I still dare not fight head-on with us. I just want to take advantage of it and run away. Colonel Buck shook his head.
"But that's not okay. They have been doing this, and our troops have been suffering losses one after another. Although the losses are not great each time, let them continue to do so, and the morale of our troops will become lower and lower." The officer was a little worried.
"What are you afraid of? There will be losses in battle. They bring losses to us, don't they bear the losses themselves?
And we are keeping marching, but they have to keep running, fighting and retreating. This undoubtedly increased their burden. I concluded that they should not be launching large-scale attacks.
Of course they will continue to harass us along the way. Just be careful, there should be no big deal. Colonel Buck shook his head.
The other officers thought about it and thought so. Although small-scale attacks continued on the road, they only made the troops more tired and more nervous. But in fact it did not cause much loss.
On the contrary, when it encountered a flash flood before, the troops lost hundreds of people. This careless person was attacked in turn, but in fact the real casualties were only dozens of people.
The Orumi Federal Army continued to advance towards Anmore. But I didn't expect it to be right in front of them. Lin Rui and others prepared a bigger trap for them.
In fact, Colonel Buck was already careful enough to deal with these small-scale attacks. He opened the formation of the troops, and the front troops took on the work of reconnaissance and detection. Even in the event of an attack, the front forces can respond in a timely manner to prevent more troops from being attacked.
For the next hour or so, the Orumi Federal Army was not bothered by any sneak attacks. The march along the way is the most peaceful in this section.
"The terrain in front of the colonel is difficult, shall we be more careful?" an officer asked Colonel Buck in a low voice.
"Where is it?" Colonel Buck asked.
"There is no detailed indication on the map, but the locals call that place Crescent Canyon. In fact, it is not a canyon, but a circular arc-shaped depression. It should have been a dry river." The officer explained to Colonel Buck. .
"Okay, I see. Let the front troops disperse and move forward in an exploratory formation. The rear troops slow down their marching speed and don't rush forward.
After the troops in the front pass, make sure that there is nothing wrong, and then move on. Avoid being ambushed by the opponent again. These damned Anmors are all guerrillas. They are too good at fighting ambushes. "Colonel Buck was a little cautious and authentic.
"I'm going to give orders." The officer nodded.
The Orumi Federation forces entered the Crescent Canyon, but they still maintained sufficient vigilance. Search slowly forward along the way. To make sure that there are no Anmor troops nearby.
On the high ground on the side of Crescent Canyon, Lin Rui and others have constructed temporary fortifications. A reconnaissance team in the front came back to report that the Orumi Federal Army was approaching.
Lin Rui was in the hidden temporary command post, holding the telescope and looking into the distance. Sure enough, I could see the troops of the Orumi Federal Army.
Because the long-distance march has dragged their formation very long, and the front troops have spread out more widely, obviously in a state of alert.
Lin Rui nodded and said, "According to the original plan, when they are halfway through the march, we will launch an attack to intercept them from the middle."
