Chapter 4079: Chasing

As they increase their speed, the Moroccan military also feels strange.
Because through satellite reconnaissance, they discovered that the Western Sahara force was moving faster than expected.
"They are evacuating, and they are very fast." The reporter reports.
"How is it possible? There are two bases of soldiers and equipment, and there may be heavy equipment. How could they complete the evacuation so quickly? Unless they have made sufficient preparations in advance. Otherwise, a unit has thousands of people, even if If the troops want to move out, it is impossible to just leave." The commander of the Moroccan army was a little surprised.
"Theoretically, this is the case. But just over 40 minutes ago, they shot down our fighter with ground-based anti-aircraft artillery and Sam-3 missiles.
An air defense circle has been deployed and the evacuation is completed so quickly, unless they start to evacuate immediately after shooting down us. "A Morlock officer replied.
"It can only be the case. This shows that they attach great importance to the safety of this force. It also shows that our previous judgment is correct. This force is likely to be the combat headquarters of Western Sahara.
By removing them, we have removed the main threat to the southeast border. Those local armed forces in Western Sahara will lose their unified command.
Their offense will be forced to stagnate, and we will be able to buy more time to regain several strategic points that have been lost on the southeast front line. "The Moroccan commander still believes that this force must be pursued resolutely.
"We must increase our speed, catch up with this enemy army, and completely eliminate them." The commander said solemnly.
"But the headquarters hasn't made clear orders." One of his staff members whispered.
"The orders from the headquarters let us act by chance. It means that we must never let go of opportunities when we see them. Opportunities are fleeting on the battlefield. Missing a fighter plane is the most unforgivable crime for soldiers." The commander shook his head, "Continue pursuing."
"But our speed is already fast. In order to increase the speed, we even gave up some materials and equipment." An officer whispered.
"The information sent back from the satellite shows that this Western Sahara unit is using car-step combined transportation to increase its speed. Obviously they want to escape quickly." The commander shook his head.
"But sir, is this a trap?" one of his officers whispered.
"Trap? This is the funniest joke I have ever heard. What qualifications do the armed forces of the Western Sahara People's Front have to trap us?" Another officer shook his head. "We have two mechanized brigades plus two independent armored battalions.
I hope they set traps for us and then surround us. In this way, our fight will be easier. It's better than chasing them like a rabbit. "
The Western Sahara officer had the right idea. They have an absolute advantage in military strength and equipment. If the Western Sahara troops flee blindly, the casualties can be smaller.
But if the two sides of the battle are really open to attack, the armed forces of the People’s Front of Western Sahara are not enough.
The commander was silent for a while, "I mean, to continue the pursuit. Judging from the satellite intelligence we got, they were carrying out a combined vehicle and foot transportation.
This is in line with the information we got before. Their degree of motorization is not high. In addition to some vehicles, they also use mules and horses to carry them. That's why they will use this combined transportation method to increase speed.
This means that our mechanized armored forces have a crushing advantage for them. Order the troops to advance at full speed, and I will catch up with them within three hours and completely defeat them. "
"Yes, General." All his officers stood at attention.
At the same time, Lin Rui and others were also following the withdrawal of the troops of the People's Front of Western Sahara. Marching in the desert is not an easy task. Especially they have no tracked vehicles.
The disadvantage of wheeled vehicles is that they often get stuck on the back of the dunes. It needs to be dragged by other vehicles with cables to get out of the bunker.
"We can't go on like this, our speed is not fast enough." Commander Lantom whispered to Lin Rui, "But this is already our fastest speed.
Vehicles must transport people back and forth, and the speed of mules and horses is slower. We can't expect the camel to run past the tank. And in order to speed up, we also throw away a large number of materials. This also includes oil and water. "
"I understand Chief Lantom, so we have no choice now. After crossing this sand dune, we have to try to get around." Lin Rui pointed to the map, "The materials we dropped along the way will make them think we are already The end of the crossbow.
But in fact, we don’t need these things. The enemy has prepared oil and water for us. right here. When we took the enemy in circles, we attacked the enemy's supply point incidentally.
Take their oil and water here, replenish them, and continue on the road. The chasers behind will follow our route to chase here.
When they find that the supply point is attacked, their speed of chasing us will slow down. "
"Why?" General Rantom asked.
"Remember that we sent the reconnaissance unit before, they will attack another supply point of the enemy?
Since one of the supply points has been seized, this will put pressure on the enemy and they will not risk losing another supply point. Therefore, they will definitely look back and try to regain that supply point.
Turning back and forth will increase their consumption, and it will give us another nearly half a day. "Lin Rui replied.
"This works, right?" General Rantom said uneasyly. "What if they don't do this, but choose to continue pursuing?"
"They can't chase. Without fuel and water supplies, let alone chasing us, it will be difficult for them to even survive in this desert." The actuary said in a low voice. Supply points are the highest priority tasks.
Take a step back and say, even if they really choose to continue pursuing, instead of returning to regain the supply station. Their fuel and water can't keep up with us.
Because they are between two supply stations, and if these two supply stations are destroyed, they can only rely on the supplies they carry to chase us.
We can drag them and continue to circle in the desert until they run out of oil and food.
As long as the enemy commander is not an idiot or paranoid, he must adjust and change his strategy according to the battlefield situation. "
"In other words, as long as these two supply points fall into our hands, no matter what choice they make? They will put themselves in a disadvantageous situation." General Rantom nodded, "I hope this plan will succeed."
