Chapter 4197: Evacuation plan

After the Moroccan commander ordered an inventory of the losses, it was found that more than 20 tanks were damaged. The most serious was the engine damage, and the least the track was blown up. In addition, many people were injured in the explosion.
But even a minor caterpillar blow up cannot be easily repaired. Because these people are very tricky, bombing tanks usually targets the engine. If the bomb is weak, it will blow up the tracks and often detonate the explosive at the position of the tank's driving wheels.
The driving device of the tank relies on the driving wheel, which is the gear-like equipment on the rear side of the tank body, which drives the crawler to move forward. The large wheels on both sides of it are generally seen as load wheels, which play a role in supporting and balancing the weight of the tank. , It has no source of power.
After the driving wheel was damaged, the driving of the tank became a problem. This can't be solved by replacing the track. It takes at least an hour to replace the track, but if you have to replace the driving wheel, this will not be solved in an hour.
The Moroccan commander was so angry that he almost shot the officer in charge of guard duty. However, Lin Rui and others hurriedly returned to their temporary command post, before they could catch a breath.
General Edgar Rondo rushed over and asked, "How is the situation?"
"Part of the tanks were blown up, and a large part of the tanks should be damaged." Lin Rui replied, "This will delay their speed, at least after dawn, they will not immediately launch an attack. Even the attack will only invest a small amount. tank.
This means that by tomorrow morning, we can delay them at least one morning. The rest depends on luck. "Lin Rui replied.
General Edgar Rondo nodded, "If by tomorrow morning, our people should be withdrawn to a safe place. In theory, they would be safe as long as they return to the ceasefire zone previously delineated. If the Moroccans continue to press on , They can still withdraw to the Algerian border."
"The next thing we have to consider is how we should evacuate?" The actuary said in a low voice, "The safest way is to evacuate from the southeast and let the enemy enter Smara through this town.
But the current situation is that the southeast has been occupied by enemy forces, we must disguise and evacuate to Smara. Only then will they concentrate on attacking Smara, and we will have the opportunity to evacuate. "
"This is indeed a last resort, but I'm afraid we won't have too much time left. The two armored regiments of the enemy are the vanguard forces. Estimated by time. Other Moroccan troops should be there soon.
If we delay in time, even if the large forces retreat, we will be locked in the Smara area. Once this happens, we will be desperate. Lin Rui shook his head.
"We evacuated overnight, leaving a small group of troops here. The enemy army has just been hit hard again and will not pursue it rashly. It will not oppress us too much at night.
My suggestion is that most people take this opportunity to evacuate. Only a small number of combatants will remain here to confuse the enemy, and through sporadic firing, the enemy will mistakenly believe that we are still here.
General Edgar Rondo can take his 2nd regiment to evacuate, and the people from our company will stay behind. After all, we are more professional in handling this issue. "The actuary replied Jiangshi.
"I agree." Lin Rui nodded, "General, you can take your people with you and retreat first. We will stay and break."
"But you only have a hundred people." General Edgar Rondo said in surprise.
"We are used to break the post, not to fight a tough battle with the enemy, and we know how to deal with this situation. Now you must take your people with other troops. Don't forget that you are the commander of this force. You You must be accountable to the other brethren under you.
It's like I am responsible to my people. So you go, we stay. There is nothing to discuss on this point. Lin Rui shook his head.
"But in this case, it may be difficult for you to evacuate. Now that it is dark, the enemy will not attack immediately, but after dawn. Even if they only sell a small number of tanks, it is not something you like more than a hundred people can handle.
During the day, we supported their attack because of the full use of terrain and anti-tank bombs. But the bigger reason is that we have the support of artillery troops, but they have now retreated.
If the enemy forces attack on a large scale tomorrow, you will not have any chance. "General Edgar Rondo hesitated.
"General, you know the current situation better than I do. The brigade has evacuated and Smara is no longer under our control. What we have to do now is to safely withdraw from this area and return to our defense zone to continue the defense. .
I can't control your second regiment. They are yours, so it is most appropriate for you to take them out. Although our remaining number is small, we have better experience in urban guerrilla and street fighting. So it’s easier for us to break through than you, and the less we have, the less it will attract the attention of the enemy. "Lin Rui replied.
"Better go quickly, General. Otherwise, we will change our minds." Sergey said in a dauntless manner with a cigarette in his mouth. "Do you really want us to leave you here and run by ourselves?"
General Edgar Rondo was silent for a while and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Rick. I will report to my superiors about today's situation. I must admit that my previous view of you was wrong. You are true heroes."
"We are not generals of heroes. The soldiers under you are heroes. We are just businessmen, nothing more. This situation is not what we want to see. It's just that since we have done business, we are making money. It is compensation, and the business must be carried out to the end. Credit is still necessary." The actuary replied Jiangan.
General Edgar Rondo nodded and turned to leave. He will take his people to evacuate in the dark. The second regiment is the main force for the defense of Vitambol. With their withdrawal, the armed forces of the People's Front of Western Sahara have actually given up the frontline of Vitambol and Smara.
"Well, this time we are doing good people to the end. Not only do we have to wipe the of the old guy Ernest, but we have to send all his people away. What shall we do next?" Sergey vomited Cigarette butts in his mouth.
"We evacuated before dawn. When the enemy comes, we will evacuate. Never engage in any firefight with them. Use our armed trucks to fight tanks. Unless a madman can do this, there is no chance of winning." Lin Rui beckoned. Come here and have a look. This is our pre-arranged evacuation route."
