Chapter 4266: Struggling

"Mr. Rick." General Quinn raised his voice, "I promised to obey your orders. But there is no guarantee that you can insult our soldiers."
"Listen to the general, we promise that we never thought of insulting anyone. Mr. Rick is just arguing. Your troops cannot be compared with that enemy in combat effectiveness. Especially in terms of fighting deterrence, the disadvantage will be more obvious.
Compared to blocking the enemy, positional defense is more suitable for them. Because this will narrow the gap in the quality and training of soldiers. "The actuary rounded the ground.
"I'm not dissatisfied, I just don't want my brothers to be underestimated." General Quinn said in silence for a while, "I hope you can understand that they are just reserve members. They have jobs and families. They come to fight. Not for money. But for the country. They deserve respect."
Sergey shook his head and said, "We are here to fight for money, but we can fight a good war. This is like doing business, you will spend money to buy useful things. And useless, even if you give it to you, you will not I will."
"Who did you say is useless?" A Moroccan staff officer in the headquarters was a little emotional.
"He didn't mean that." Lin Rui waved his hand with a headache. "General Quinn, I can't explain too much now. You and your brothers are worthy of respect, and you can protect their dignity.
But you can't ask your brothers to risk their lives and do things they can't do because of your personal face, so that you can fight for your breath in front of us. Even a mercenary leader like me can't do such a thing, let alone an officer. Do you agree with this point? "
"Okay." General Quinn nodded, "but this kind of action excludes us and still makes me a little uncomfortable."
"Then wait until we come back and apologize, if there is still time to stop the enemy." Lin Rui nodded and jumped into the armed truck.
After leaving the city, it was dark, and the vehicles did not turn on their lights deliberately in order to avoid the enemy's attention. A pile of shadows stretched in the distance, and Lin Rui could see clearly that it was the ruins of the destroyed house by the light of the fire that was constantly churning like lightning on the horizon in the distance.
The retreating troops and civilians evading the war leaned over each other, wriggling in the direction of the highway, and discarded items could be seen everywhere. Looking at the refugees engulfed in the army, Scarface sighed and shook his head. If this continues, the marching speed will be greatly reduced, and the enemy will not give too much time.
They must rush to the vicinity of the enemy's marching route in the shortest possible time. The task is to block the enemy's march and focus on protecting Palimo's left wing. Delaying it too long is not the answer.
After Lin Rui and the others began to act, General Quinn’s troops immediately fought fierce battles with the enemy. Although they fought battles with several times the enemy day and night, their positions remained untouched. With the increase of the enemy's follow-up troops, a certain number of heavy artillery joined the battle, the front line defensive positions were all breached by the enemy, and the troops retreated one after another.
This situation was also in their previous expectations, so the actuary ordered General Kishi and Quinn to move their positions, and the 6th Regiment was ordered to withdraw to the second line to set up new positions and continue to resist.
Lin Rui turned his head to hear the gunshots in the suburbs, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious. "Tell them to leave the way, and all the refugees leave to Lao Tzu." Sausage is sweaty, and you can't get entangled anymore at this time, otherwise everything will be ruined.
Some mercenaries can only get out of the car, busy maintaining order, so that the congested traffic situation can be smoother. From time to time, civilians clashed with these armed mercenaries.
It seemed chaotic everywhere. There was a symphony of car horns, mixed with the weeping and crying of helpless refugees, and the rude yelling of soldiers. The road was crowded with mercenaries and refugees. Cars, tricycles, and civilian horses and camels huddled together. Regardless of the lanes, they just merged into a turbid current and headed north.
When there is war, there are refugees. These ordinary people cannot avoid fighting, so they have only one thought: to escape, the farther the better, to escape from this war-torn land; perhaps to the north, or to the border and enter the UN organization The refugee camps should be safer.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Sausage shook his head in distress: "This is really messy. Who would have thought that it would be like this." The noisy retreat seemed to be a huge barracks. The same, full of soldiers and refugees fleeing the war.
The mercenaries in front had to get out of the car to maintain order and ease the traffic. However, it is clear that a limited number of troops will not play much role in such a bad situation.
The battle situation from the front was very bad. Under the double weight of the enemy’s encirclement and firepower, the defenders of the first line of defense finally collapsed completely. The troops began to retreat, and the first line of Palimo’s outer positions It was immediately broken through, and many of the disbanded militia forces were directly eliminated by the League for the Liberation of Western Sahara.
However, after the outer position was breached, the defenders retreated hurriedly and lacked effective cover measures. The enemy troops followed the situation and pursued them. As a result, some positions were not occupied and stabilized, which was a breakthrough by the enemy.
The defense on the other side was not much better. The 1st regiment was beaten badly, and the defender in charge of the screen was killed or injured. Since the command headquarters has already ordered the retreat and transfer, the guard company has been beaten up again, so the enemy forces directly pass through the defense line that has no defensive force.
The area adjacent to the 5th Regiment’s defenses was completely occupied by the enemy because the defenders had no time to build decent fortifications, so there was a disarray everywhere.
Flares rose up over the battlefield from time to time, and groups of orange and red bloomed one after another in the distance. In winter, the beautiful desert scenery is no longer visible in Palimo, only the battlefield is left.
The fierce artillery fire of the Western Sahara Liberation League broke down the last bit of resistance in the first line of defensive positions. Crowds of armed vehicles and a small number of light armored vehicles covered the infantry charge. The frantically advancing Liberation League troops swept towards Palimo, everywhere The Liberation League troops are advancing desperately.
Almost every soldier and officer of the Liberation League was filled with indescribable excitement. At this time their two regiments have completed their meeting. According to the agreement, the next step will be to push into the downtown area of ​​Palimo.
In front of them, the Palimo Militia Unit has retreated to the urban area for rectification, and the troops that previously held the first defensive position have been changed to the urban garrison. This also means that the Liberation Alliance army has compressed the Palimo defenders into the small area of ​​Palimo, forming a state of encirclement.
The three directions west, east, and south are the pace of the Liberation Alliance's offensive. The front of Palimo's defensive arc can't be resisted for long, and the defender's posture is dead.
The artillery troops of the Western Sahara Liberation League advanced to the front line of Mugaya Town. The artillery fire has been able to hit the outskirts of the city. They are advancing with their superior strength. After more than two hours of exchange of fire, they occupied the outer position of the Palimo militia and pointed directly to the second main position here.
Now they only need to respond with the Red Devil troops advancing from the flanks, and they have the intention to join forces in Mugaya Town and launch a general offensive.
