Chapter 4643: dilemma

But the progress of the battle was not satisfactory. Although the rebels opened the minefield channel, the troops were firmly suppressed at the front of the outer positions of the Orumi Federal Army.
At dawn, the weather was gloomy and hot, without a trace of wind. The Hammer led the rebels of the two regiments with about 4,000 men and launched a fierce attack on the main guards in Orumi City. But it wasn't until around 10 o'clock in the morning that the attack was declared completely soldier. The commander was wounded with a hammer and the battlefield situation fell into a deadlock.
At the same time, the Palsson Corps, the strongest reinforcement of the Orumi Federal Army, has already defeated the interception of many insurgent troops, and then rushed to Orumi City, trying to prevent most of their insurgent positions from being breached.
All this seemed to come too fast, and Lin Rui and others were not yet fully prepared. And for the Orumi Federal Army, the rebels bypassed Paramore and attacked Orumi City directly, which puzzled most high-level officers.
Originally, he was more inclined to think that this was probably a trick played by the rebel army-sending a small group of troops to these places to light a few fires and pretend to attack, the purpose of which was nothing more than to interfere with Paramore's attention. Therefore, the Orumi EFF still concentrates on the Paramore area, considering how to reverse the unfavorable situation on the Paramore front.
To everyone's surprise, these insurgents went straight to the city of Orumi; and according to reports from intelligence agencies, it was the main force of the insurgents that defeated the 19th Battalion and other units. The officers of the Supreme Command did not speak for a long time. They were just dumbfounded.
Obviously, the actions of these insurgents amounted to a stabbing in their back waist and hitting the Orumi Federal Army by surprise. It wasn't until the minefields of the outer positions were breached that the headquarters of the Orumi Federation finally woke up and the main direction of the rebel army was not in Paramore-Orumi.
Instead, it directly impacts Orumi City. But this seems illogical. If the rebels captured Paramore and attacked the city of Olumi, it would be more logical.
Otherwise, even if they bypassed Paramore, as long as Paramore was still under the control of the Orumi Federation, they would be able to cut off the rebel army at any time. How to fight this battle?
The offensive route chosen by the main force of the rebel army is by no means the safest zone in tactics. The terrain is complex, and it is a static battle corridor for the use of troops. Of course, the safest places are often the most dangerous, just as the most dangerous places are often the safest. At the same time, there is a key point, and the commanders of the Orumi Federation are very clear.
But they believed that the insurgents did not dare to take this risk easily, so they only deployed a small amount of troops just in case. This has formed a crack in the middle of the line of defense, which is also an empty space for defense deployment. However, the rebels took advantage of this loophole! If they don’t know the terrain well, they wouldn’t dare to take this risk...
General Lester, the chief military officer of the Orumi Federation, had a long discussion with his officers at the command headquarters.
General Lester took a pen in one hand and put one in the back of his trousers. He paced for a while in front of the big map of the headquarters. He seemed to have finally made up his mind. "Let Isaiah retreat and return to the Orumi Capital Region."
His current consideration is to temporarily reluctantly abandon Paramore, regroup his forces, and fortify along the southeast line of Orumi City, with the focus on the east.
After discussing with the Chief of Staff and other officers and others, the Orumi Federal Forces began to deploy urgently to withdraw troops from Paramore. The specific situation was: the Aysia Department in Paramore was evacuated to the south of Orumi and contained The remnants of the 19th Battalion, which had been defeated before, evacuated to Orumi City and defended the southern side of Orumi.
The company battalions of the 35th and 21st regiments in the two surrounding cities turned in the direction of Orumi and guarded the two wings; the main force of the capital garrison in Orumi and the armed police jointly guarded the east of the city; emergency new The 2nd and 3rd regiments were prepared to maintain law and order in the city.
One of the most prominent aspects of this measure is that the Orumi Federal Forces completely abandoned Paramore. Now, for the sake of Orumi City, they can no longer take care of Paramore.
Although guarding Paramore is advantageous in long-term combat. But in the current situation, the insurgents also gave up on Paramore. They tried to concentrate their troops to capture Orumi or at least occupy part of the city before the Parsons Corps rushed to help Orumi.
When Lin Rui learned of the Orumi Federation Forces' dynamics, he immediately realized that he might have exposed his tactical intentions. The enemy is realigning its defenses.
If it is not possible to invade Orumi before the arrival of the enemy's Parsons regiment, it may result in the first defeat of the insurgents. But Lin Rui knew better than anyone the nature of this rebel army.
These insurgent soldiers are more than fanatical, but lack perseverance. They have goals and ideals, and they are ready to fight for their ideals. But they are not prepared. Once this passion and ideal is on the battlefield, it will soon be defeated by the cruel reality of the battlefield.
In short, the characteristic of this team is that the victory is vigorous, and the defeat is the defeat. Once dragged into a brutal tug-of-war by the enemy, one's own side faces a difficult situation, plus the arrival of enemy reinforcements. So how much power do these rebel fighters have in the first battle?
This battle must be won quickly! Lin Rui turned his head and said, "When will the Orumi Federal Road reinforcements arrive?"
"According to our reconnaissance force report, there is still about one day left." The actuary replied Jiangshi.
"Can you create more obstacles for them?" Lin Rui turned around and asked. "Even if you delay them one more day."
"The reconnaissance team had a similar suggestion before. At this position on Highway 4, destroy the road bridge there. It may be able to hold them for a day." The actuary replied Jiangan.
"But what's the point? Even one more day, we may not be able to take the enemy's position. The fortifications around Olumi are very strong. Without air superiority and heavy artillery, it is difficult to threaten their defensive positions." The hammer came in from outside.
He has a bad face and a bandage on his shoulders. This is the consequence of his insistence on commanding himself in the last battle.
"Has the wound been treated?" Lin Rui asked.
"Thanks for your concern, I'm fine." The hammer shook his head and dragged a chair to sit down.
"It's best to pay attention, if you are infected and hang up. Who shall we find to collect the money?" Lin Rui shook his head, "You came just right. Let's put it this way, according to normal conditions, we can't rush to the enemy's reinforcements. Before arriving, attacked the city of Orumi.
So, I have a risky plan. It's a big risk, but it's worth trying. "
"What is the cost of taking risks?" The Hammer asked, looking at him.
"If we fail, we will be finished. But if we don't try, we will be finished. It's just a few more days." Lin Rui looked at him.
