Chapter 4973: Emiri Kli

"Mr. Rick, don't you really want to fire at civilians?" General Quinn whispered.
"I said, as long as you fire at us, you will no longer be civilians. Retreating two hundred meters to set up a warning zone is already my biggest concession." Lin Rui said unceremoniously, "Don't tell me anything about women and children. This is Africa. I don’t know what the situation in Western Sahara is like. But I have seen child soldiers in other war-torn countries.
When any woman or child has picked up a weapon of killing and is ready to kill our soldiers. They are our enemies. "
"But..." General Quinn was still a little worried, "If we hurt too many civilians..."
"Do you know why they did this? Why do those terrorists coerce civilians into the battlefield? Because they are not prepared, both of us are fighting for time. They hope to use these civilians to delay and delay us until they are ready for defense.
We hesitate for ten minutes before they can dig a machine gun bunker and construct a firepower point to block us when we attack.
Every second of our hesitation now is a crime for our soldiers. General You are a commander, not a philanthropist, but a soldier! Soldiers want to kill. "Lin Rui said calmly.
Civilians in several nearby towns were forced to take up weapons and initiate a charge. Behind them are terrorists, and in front of them are counter-terrorism forces.
In accordance with Lin Rui's request, the troops on him retreated more than two hundred meters to temporarily build a line of defense. And shouted to the other party, entered the 200-meter warning zone, immediately put down their weapons, if they continue to advance with the weapons, the anti-terrorist coalition forces will open fire.
Generally speaking, this trick worked. After most of the civilians rushed forward, they took the initiative to throw down their weapons and ran away with bare hands.
But there are a very small number of people who were panicked, or did not hear clearly amidst the gunfire and explosion. They did not drop their weapons.
These people were shot and killed without exception.
"Damn it, what are we doing? This is a crime." General Quinn said helplessly.
"This is a warning and also a prestige. War is never a joke if mercy is not in charge." Lin Rui said calmly. "We will try our best to avoid casualties, but when unavoidable, incidental injuries are inevitable."
Lin Rui's decision was correct. Although it caused some civilian casualties, it did not cause greater chaos. Most civilians still did not fire a shot according to their instructions, and these people also left the battlefield safely.
General Hassan's troops did not give the enemy too much time and immediately launched an assault. At more than two o'clock in the afternoon, the two small towns around Emery Kli were finally successfully settled.
A situation of confrontation with a large number of terrorists in Emiri Keli was formed.
It is of great significance to them to win these two small towns. On the one hand, as an offensive force, they have taken down a small town on the flanks of the enemy, which is equivalent to taking down an offensive outpost. Can be used as a backing to continue the offensive.
On the other hand, the enemy has lost the protection of the flanks. Originally, this small town could be used as an enhanced defense point for the militants of Imirikli. Used to support Emery Kli's overall defense.
Now, the situation is reversed.
At Lin Rui's headquarters, various news kept coming.
"The front troops encountered strong resistance from the enemy, and the enemy’s artillery fire was fierce. The third regiment was suppressed on the offensive line."
"How is the second regiment?" General Hasen asked.
"The Second Regiment is still competing with the enemy for outer positions. They have launched many charges, but the outer positions have not been breached.
The enemy has set up multiple firepower points along their outer positions, and the casualties of our strong attack are too great. "One of the staff of the headquarters reported nervously.
"Let the artillery units use shelling to support them. The gap in their outer positions must be opened as soon as possible. We can't spend more time, we can't afford it." General Quinn said sharply.
"The enemy army is also shelling us. The current situation of the two sides is stalemate." The staff report reported.
"Ask for reinforcements from Morocco and ask them to dispatch the air force for air support." General Hassan said solemnly.
"The Moroccan side has already replied that this action is not part of the overall action plan, and we have not submitted an action plan before.
The Moroccan Command Headquarters did not approve this plan, and the Royal Air Force was not ordered to conduct air support operations. "The staff member lowered his voice.
"Fart, we submitted the plan to them before the action. I think they didn't want to move on purpose!" Hassan angrily said.
"Normal, don't place too much hope on the Moroccans. The Western Sahara People's Political Line is as unreliable as them.
This action will ultimately depend on ourselves. The enemy dug a considerable number of trenches and bunkers in the forward positions. Such a strong attack really suffers a lot. My opinion is that the troops should be withdrawn temporarily to avoid further losses. Lin Rui said.
"No, if we don't take down Emiri Kli as soon as possible, then the terrorist reinforcements in the east will return quickly after they get the news.
Once the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we will suffer from the enemy. The situation has become worse for us. Hassan shook his head.
"Yeah, Mr. Rick. Now is the critical stage for us to grab time with the enemy." General Quinn also nodded, "The warplane is fleeting, we can't afford to delay."
"The enemy's artillery fire was too violent. At this time, the loss was too great with the artillery fire. We must find a way to solve this problem first.
Otherwise, the outer position is just a meat grinder, and we don't have enough people to throw in. Judging from the current firepower situation, the enemy forces have not consciously restricted firepower, so these enemy forces should have sufficient ammunition base.
By forcibly pressing the troops up, our losses were too great. It is better to withdraw the troops first and go to Area C to rest.
Use our artillery to attack the enemy, focusing on the enemy’s artillery positions. Try to reduce or relieve the enemy's shelling pressure on us. Lin Rui explained.
"We still have a few helicopters, and we can use the current helicopters to conduct aerial reconnaissance. Quickly determine the position of the enemy's artillery positions, direct and guide the artillery strikes." The actuary nodded. "Twenty minutes, the suppression of enemy positions must be completed within twenty minutes."
"At the same time, when we organize our defenses, we have to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. The two neighboring towns pose a great threat to the enemy. They absolutely refuse to give up and will definitely try to retake it." Lin Rui whispered. .
"Our people have already gone up. Their main task is to stabilize the situation. To prevent the area already occupied by us from changing hands again." The actuary Jiangan nodded.
