Chapter 4607: Supply base

Just as Lin Rui thought, the Orumi Federation Army was not eager to attack. After they captured Fairlan, they wanted to establish a frontline support base in Fairlan.
In the past few days, the insurgents have been busy preparing for battle all day long: constructing fortifications, binding explosives, and wiping guns. Whether the officers above the platoon must meet to clarify their tasks. Lin Rui and the members of the military advisory team are scorching the sun every day, repeatedly looking at the surrounding terrain and studying the enemy's fortifications.
On this day, Hammer was leading his officers to look at the terrain, and suddenly received a notice that he should go to the command post immediately.
The headquarters was set up in a residential building in the city. The doors and windows of the houses were blown up in the previous urban battle. After entering the door, there is a row of tables and chairs on the right, where people from the communications command platoon sit. The room on the left is the conference room, with battle maps on the wall.
The presiding officer of the meeting was still Jiang An, an actuary. He pointed to the map and continued to say quietly that the enemy is currently mainly gathering around Ferran, and their other combat troops are still arriving one after another.
In addition to the previous field fortifications, we have newly set up a number of important bunkers. It will take a considerable amount of time for the enemy to win these important positions. We have to clarify the enemy’s strength, firearms, morale, combat effectiveness, the enemy’s strengths and weaknesses; our strength, firearms, morale, combat strength, our advantages and disadvantages..."
Hammer whispered to an assistant next to him: "What do you think?"
The staff nodded and said, "It turns out I was worried about time. According to this calculation, the time required for the enemy to prepare for battle is only three or four days at most. After three or four days, it may be a big offensive."
The actuary inserted Kishi affirmatively: "That's right. At most, there are three or four days at most. So we were able to recapture Fairlan before. We ordered Kasan's troops to withdraw deliberately."
The Hammer frowned and asked: "What does it mean to withdraw deliberately and let the enemy occupy Fairland? Are you sure about it? What tactical considerations did you give to Fairland, an important position that determines the overall situation?"
Lin Rui looked at the wall covered with maps, recalling the impression of reconnaissance and research these days; recalling the terrain of Fairlan, the distribution of enemy forces, the construction of fortifications, and the distribution of firepower. He thought about it while calculating.
As he thought about it, he paced gently and said, "Because many issues are considered, such as the result of reconnaissance of the terrain, the choice of fire positions, the organization of assault troops, the opening of the assault road... Is a better choice.
"We tightened our defenses, and the surrounding positions were fully built. This will prevent the enemy troops from fully deploying. It will inevitably be compressed in the Fairland area. And the geographical location here will definitely be used as a supply station or a front line. Guarantee base.
Their supplies depart from the Federal Capital Territory of Orumi and arrive in a day or two. Because of the short distance, they will not deliver too much. The transportation volume at one time is probably only their supplies for about a week. Kasan's troops were born for this.
If Kazan regained Ferran at that time, the enemy could only set up a support base further away. Then, if we want to attack their transport and supply convoy, we must go deeper to the northwest. This force is in danger of being trapped. "Lin Rui pointed to the map. "As a highly motorized unit, Kassan's unit has impeccable mobility in densely populated areas. We must take advantage of this, high mobility characteristics. "
The Hammer stood there without moving his hands, listening with great concentration, as if weighing every word Lin Rui said. "What do you mean, what about the transport convoy that attacked them along the way, as well as the local work and blasting? You talk about it carefully."
Lin Rui nodded and said, "We have few heavy weapons and limited artillery shells. Therefore, we used earthwork and blasting to destroy the road and block the enemy. It is the decisive role in this battle..."
The hammer seemed to have made up his mind, "As for heavy weapons, there is actually a warehouse in the city. It was used as a backup before, where a considerable number of 107 rockets and shells are stored."
"I haven't heard you mention it before." Lin Rui frowned.
"I have to keep a hand for myself." The hammer said awkwardly. "These things are not at the critical moment, I didn't want to use them. But now it seems that if you can't keep it here, let alone other things."
"I'll take people over later and open the warehouse first. Let's count the number of weapons and ammunition. Be prepared to distribute them to the troops at any time." Lin Rui shook his head. He also knows that rebel leaders like the hammer, weapons and equipment are their lives, and they are reluctant to take them out until difficult times.
A few days later, at dusk, there was a short sound of machine gun firing. After the rebels and mercenary troops all entered their positions, the battle began.
The silence at dusk made the gunfire sound particularly violent. The position was covered by the afterglow of the setting sun. The insurgents crowded in the bunker, in the traffic trench, behind the stone wall. Fight back at the enemy.
The gunfire gradually tightened, and the bullet screamed on the head. The red and green flare flares crossed and radiated on the position; one by one flares hung in the sky like electric lights, bright white, illuminating the positions below.
This is how the first fierce battle of the Redman Scramble began.
The third division of the Orumi Federation, fully arrived. Some tens of thousands of people flocked to the city of Fairland, and some were placed on the hills around the city. The headquarters of the Third Division was set up in a building in Fairland.
Staff officers of the Federal Army of Orumi are hanging up a battle map in the house and contacting the headquarters by radio.
"Our army has captured Fairland and is launching an offensive against the rebels in Redmey. Following the order, the ministries marched urgently... now the supplies of the ministries can only last for one day..." the commander of the 3rd Division Elijah said Communications, rubbing his chin while touching.
After waiting for a while, the command headquarters responded.
Elijah turned and said, "Go ahead. The headquarters is very concerned about the soldiers. The first batch of supplies has been delivered to the strategic supply station Fairland; as for the supplies, they have been transported to Fairland long ago. Although this time the capital area did not directly provide them. , But provided by other cities.
But it only takes two or three days to transport the grain to Fairland by car. We are currently attacking, testing the enemy's defenses, waiting for supplies by the way, and then advancing to the west of Redmey. "
"But General, we have not received any supplies." A staff officer whispered beside Elijah.
"No?" Elijah frowned, "but the command said it has been delivered. Immediately contact the transport troops and ask them if there is any reason for the delay?"
