Chapter 4578: Defense in the rain

"How to fight the battle, you have the final say. But this is the situation now. It is a fact that these insurgents are unbearable. But it is a fact that we have to continue to deal with each other." Lin Rui nodded. "Tell me about your situation."
"The pass in front is the throat of Highway 4, the road the rebels must pass. As soon as the brethren came, they built fortifications against heavy rain. The same is true for the Anmore prisoners of war, and they quickly built a deep and wide Temporary fortifications. On the top of the mountain over there, artillery positions, shelters were deployed, and a traffic trench was dug through other positions overnight. "Scarface whispered.
When they were talking, they suddenly heard a hissing sound, and the two of them fell down very accustomed and alert. A heavy mortar bomb exploded in the distance behind them, and flames and black smoke rose.
"Damn." Scarface cursed and got up from the ground.
"It seems that before the other troops arrive, you can stand up for a while. We have to block the enemy, but there are only two thousand people who can directly participate in the battle. But I will transfer half of these two thousand to you. You have to Stop these enemies, and it will take several days." Lin Rui also got up and said.
"My idea is to leave Highway 4. We can't retreat along the highway. The enemy will keep chasing us." Scarface shook his head, "I know our task is to ensure that Highway 4 is in our hands, but It doesn't work like this now. Our defense is inflexible and we are almost locked on the road." Scarface shook his head.
"You mean to leave the highway?" Lin Rui muttered.
"Yes, we leave the road, but it doesn’t mean we give up. We can come back at any time, and we can even turn back behind them. We just stop moving along the road, but expand the range of activities. Then they have to chase We must also leave the highway.
And now it’s the rainy season. With such heavy rain, there are seasonal swamps all around. This is why Route 4 is so important. After leaving the highway, the continuous rainfall and muddy road will further slow them down. "Scarface whispered.
"There are ideas, but I am afraid that the enemy will not do this. Their goal is not to destroy these insurgents, but to control Highway 4. So it is impossible to divert them away. We leave Highway 4 and neither do they Will pursue it. Because they have clear orders." Lin Rui shook his head.
"So? We can only fight them here?" Scarface said in a low voice, "This is not very wise. The so-called insurgents are not as good as the militia."
"So there must be no mistakes on Route 4. You know they can't. If you lose Route 4, these so-called insurgents have no chance of winning at all." Lin Rui said solemnly.
"But is Route 4 really so important?" Scarface couldn't help asking.
"As long as Highway 4 is still under our control. Rebel forces can rendezvous with rebel forces in other areas.
They can't fight a tough battle, that's right, but once their numbers are large and their momentum is strong, it will affect the entire Olumi Federation.
Let more Orumi civilians participate in their uprising. This will deeply shake the foundation of the secret society in the Orumi Federation. "Lin Rui nodded.
"Okay, boss, what you said makes sense. Then what should we do now? If we fight like this, even if we hold onto Route 4, the loss will be great." Scarface looked at Lin Rui.
"I don't want to do this, but we have no other choice. No matter how great the loss is, we have to withstand it. What about those Anmor prisoners of war?" Lin Rui replied.
"They are okay. After all, they have fought wars and have seen blood. Compared to those rebels, they are not a little bit stronger. In fact, we can hold on till now, mostly because of them." Scarface nodded. , "They are very useful this time. And they are ruthless enough to dare to work hard."
"Is there any news from other rebels? The rebels in Redmey, including the rebel unit that rushed to rescue them. What's the situation now?" Lin Rui turned his head and asked a correspondent of the rebels. .
"There is no news yet. The last contact was about two hours ago. They were alone in the city and engaged in a fierce battle with the Orumi Federal Police Force." The correspondent replied.
"Have you reported to them about the situation here? What does your commander mean to completely leave this place alone?" Lin Rui frowned.
"The chief has made it clear that once they can get out of the city, they will immediately lead the team back to support." The correspondent replied. "But I feel that the tone of his speech is very hesitant, and there are constant gunfire in the communication channel. It seems that the fighting is quite fierce."
"He had better be grateful that he couldn't come back, otherwise I would kill him." Lin Rui said blankly, "This situation was caused by him alone. He actually looks like a okay person."
After Lin Rui finished speaking, they strode away, and they retreated quickly. However, the enemy's chasing troops will soon break through the obstacles along the way, and it is only a matter of time before they come back.
And Lin Rui had to deploy a simple defense roughly before the enemy came. Because for those insurgents, a prepared position defense is always better than a random encounter.
About an hour later, the heavy casualties of the blocking troops withdrew. They withdrew back, which meant that the Orumi Federal Forces were approaching again.
Lin Rui ordered all positions to be prepared for defense. These insurgents cannot fight large-scale battles. So Ling Linrui replaced them with zeros and split them into teams. Let them follow Anmore’s prisoner-of-war forces and cooperate in battle.
Lin Rui led a part of the mercenaries, and the stronger Anmor prisoner of war troops, holding on to the main position.
At the same time, let a small number of artillery enter the artillery position, ready to support the battle in the surrounding positions.
Such defensive operations, if there is no artillery support. The consequences are hard to imagine. And now, several small rocket launchers are starting to lack ammunition. Lin Rui could only temporarily combine them with a limited number of rockets.
He understands very well that this ignition power must be used at the most critical time.
So now the support firepower of mercenaries can only rely on mortars and a small number of recoilless guns.
Fortunately, this time, they have a lot of mortars and ammunition. Most of them are external support from the CIA.
Lin Rui gave these mortars to some experienced mercenaries. They were ordered to set up an artillery position between several positions for support at any time.
In addition, it is aimed at the enemy's powerful infantry fighting vehicles. The mercenaries also formed several anti-tank teams.
These people have no fixed defensive positions, and in addition to assault rifles, they are all equipped with Rpg rocket launchers, specifically aimed at enemy infantry fighting vehicles.
