Chapter 4262: Ring defense

"Does Morocco know this information?" Lin Rui asked after thinking about it.
"I haven't notified them yet. I think it won't be too late to notify them after you make a decision." The actuary replied.
Lin Rui nodded, "This information is kept secret for the time being, so don't talk to the Moroccan side. But you can selectively disclose some, for example, Palimo is in danger of being attacked."
"You mean to draw Morocco's attention to the Palimo area?" The actuary Jiangan thought thoughtfully.
"The Moroccans absolutely do not allow the joint counter-terrorism forces to get involved in Odalat, but they can't stop it. Telling them this news will only add chaos. And their troop movement will definitely arouse the alarm of the Orumi Federal Army. It is better to simply do it. Pretending not to know, and revealing Palimo's situation to them. Let them concentrate on helping us defend Palimo." Lin Rui replied.
"But they don't have troops stationed in the surrounding area of ​​Palimo. I'm afraid it will be difficult to support us in time." The actuary shook his head.
"We don't expect them to send ground troops. What I want is their air support." Lin Rui pointed to the map and said, "The terrorists of the Very Jihad Alliance concentrated on Palimo from here, here, and here. Forces. According to the most conservative estimate, they can also gather tens of thousands of people.
If we want to stick to Palimo, we will pay a great price. But with Moroccan air support, we can reduce this loss to a minimum. "
The actuary looked at the map and nodded, "I understand. The terrorists in these areas are in the process of assembling Palimo. This will be their assembly point. In other words, their temporary base camp is located.
If we want the Royal Moroccan Air Force to bomb this area. Will dampen the enemy's spirit. If the timing is clever. It can even disrupt their entire command system. As a result, the offensive forces cannot be effectively commanded, and the rear forces cannot effectively support the offensive forces. "
"That's what it means. Inform the Moroccan military that we have reliable information. Terrorists in several areas are gathering in Palimo. Once the battle begins, we will ask for air support." Lin Rui nodded, "In addition, currently Pali How about Mo's city defense?"
"Palimo's city defense is mainly in charge of the Palimo's militia. General Quinn and his experienced officers are arranging everything. I have probably inspected it a few times and it is quite satisfactory. The line of defense starts from the suburbs. , Has been extended to the urban area.
These two areas are the main defensive positions, plus a few sporadic positions around them, forming a star-shaped defensive structure. With the main positions on the two sides radiating the surrounding area, when necessary, several defensive positions can complete coordinated operations. The firepower and cover configuration can be considered reasonable.
Most Moroccan reserve officers have received European military training, and their basic military qualities are good. Although it is not as good as the regular army in terms of training, it is much better than the average guerrilla. "The actuary explained Kishi.
"Good job. But at the junction of the main defensive positions on both sides, more manpower must be deployed." Lin Rui looked at the defensive deployment plan.
"Preparations are already underway. From the perspective of their offensive direction, the main direction of attack should be the northwest and the entire northern region. At present, the Moroccan militia has built a certain amount of fortifications along this line. Although it may not be able to defend against the chariot unit. , But it has a certain delay and delay effect for the infantry." The actuary smiled.
"However, our side is still a disadvantage in terms of numbers. Although defensive operations can make up for this disadvantage to a certain extent. But if the time is too long, the outer defense line will still be broken." Kuaima replied.
"Then what do you think?" Lin Rui turned around and asked him.
"We can use circular defense. This is the most commonly used defense mode for the U.S. military. This type of position is generally circular or triangular, and is mainly used to cope with enemy attacks from all directions at the same time. Three infantry platoons of an infantry company surround the circle. The actual configuration of the position, the machine gunner was arranged at the forefront of the infantry squad, the command post and mortars in the middle of the position.
Riflemen are arranged in scattered units throughout the depth of the defensive area, where they can drop bombs at an appropriate distance at any time and shoot with rifles.
The advantage of circular defense is that it is prepared for the enemy coming from any side. The unoccupied area between the squads is small, and the squad’s flanks are bent backward to conform to the combat plan. The disadvantage is that most of the combat forces are located. In the surrounding area, the combat power cannot be concentrated on the enemy's advancing route at the beginning.
But set up at the junction of two main defensive positions can effectively support two positions. "Quaima replied.
"Almost forgot. You were a regular infantryman." Lin Rui nodded, "If I give you this position, how would you arrange it?"
Kuai Ma hesitated for a moment, "I will turn this area into a defense area for the infantry platoon. The defense area of ​​the infantry platoon is usually within the defense area of ​​the infantry company. The defense area is defined by the border. The infantry squad under the infantry platoon All have designated defense areas, and there is no need to coordinate with neighbors when maneuvering and shooting within the defense area.
In the defensive preparation stage, each squad must conduct detailed reconnaissance of its defense area, and find out all possible advancing routes, vehicle assembly areas, killing zones and obstacles that the enemy may use, as well as all temporary positions. Next, each squad began to prepare for defense in the order determined by the platoon leader. First prepare a basic position, then a hasty auxiliary position, and finally select a reserve position. If time permits, each class should improve the position.
Within one hundred meters of the defense, one or several guard positions will be set up. The guard positions are usually commanded by the company commander. The guard positions are usually set next to the enemy’s offensive pathway. When the guard warns that the enemy is approaching me, everyone starts to enter. Own basic position, ready to attack the enemy.
With the support of artillery, the guard position will repel the enemy reconnaissance units and the small advancing units with firepower to ensure their occupied positions. However, they will not fight tenaciously when attacking powerful enemies. Instead, they will directly attack from the wing as ordered. Retreat at the designated assembly location within the position,"
Lin Rui nodded, "We lacked heavy weapons in this battle. Although the opponent has certain heavy weapons, there are not too many. So the main focus is on infantry tactics. I divided the two main defensive positions. The ring defense is handed over to you. You are in charge of commanding the militia, are you sure?
Kuaima was silent for a while, "I think it can."
"Then you do it." Lin Rui nodded.
