Chapter 4976: War is coming

First of all, you must preserve yourself to the utmost in a war, and to preserve yourself depends on fortifications and bunkers.
Lin Rui asked the troops to set up positions along the dry riverbed.
The front of the infantry squad is 30 to 100 meters, and a front of about 100 meters wide can defend a front of 200-250 meters wide.
The fortifications in the positions are generally single or double foxholes. The spacing between single foxholes in open areas is 10 meters, and the spacing between double foxholes is 20 meters. The interval is shortened to five meters and ten meters respectively on complex terrain.
Seize the time to construct shelters or trenches. Generally, it consists of a main position and one or two reserve positions. When organizing firepower allocation, it should be ensured that the rifle can fire accurately from a distance of 300 meters and the anti-tank rocket launcher can fire accurately from a distance of 150 meters.
Of course, to repel the enemy, bunkers alone are definitely not enough. Firepower is of course more important. Machine guns are the soul of the infantry squad. A light machine gun has the same firepower as a rifle squad.
Lin Rui and others arranged the few M2 machine guns in their hands as the main firepower point. The 200 rounds of these machine guns last for a long time and are very suitable for blocking the enemy's charge in defense, but the weight of ten kilograms also makes the machine gunner's movement speed significantly slower than the rifleman.
Therefore, most heavy machine guns must be set up as stable as possible without frequent movement, as firepower machine gun points.
Other light machine guns only use 100 rounds of ammunition to improve mobility so that they can move quickly during battle.
All of Lin Rui's mercenaries are experts. What they plan to set up is a standard Western infantry squad defensive firepower configuration.
The rifle is in the middle, and two machine guns form a cross fire arresting net on the left and right sides. The squad leader and the fire team leader control the firepower of the grenade launcher and rifle to block the enemy's approach. The enemy annihilation zone can concentrate all available firepower in this area in order to destroy the enemy.
A mercenary reported to Lin Ruihui, "We set the firepower point over there. When the enemy moves parallel to the firing direction of the platoon, the squad strikes the target from front to back, and then from back to front.
We did this in Afghanistan before, highlighting the suppression of firepower and keeping the enemy away. In this case, the enemy will not be able to play a numerical advantage. "
Lin Rui nodded, but he didn't agree with this method. "You are the standard tactics often used by the US military, but this method has a disadvantage that it consumes a lot of ammunition.
We are not a US military with deep pockets, and we don't have so many ammunition bases for us to squander. And even if the enemy is suppressed and retreats, he will come back. "
"Sir, what is your opinion?" the mercenary asked.
"I have a solution. This problem can be solved. The rifle is in the middle, and the only machine gun is on the left or right side. It emphasizes the side-fire oblique fire power. The machine gun oblique fire and the direct rifle fire are combined to form a cross fire net.
This method of formation of positions also believes that firepower is a necessary condition for killing the enemy, but it also believes that firepower alone cannot destroy the enemy.
The combination of firepower and timely counterattack can achieve the goal, which is different from you. Prevent the enemy from approaching, and the enemy will come back when he goes back. The key is to destroy him before the battlefield.
The light machine gun exerts its effectiveness on one side, and the machine gunner can carry the machine gun at any time to launch a counter-impact, attack the enemy's frontal attack formation from the flanks with fierce firepower or cut off the enemy's back path for complete annihilation. "Lin Rui nodded.
"I understand." The mercenary nodded.
"Do as I said, this time it's up to you." Lin Rui patted the mercenary on the shoulder.
While Lin Rui nervously urged the mercenaries under him to set up positions, he had to contact the local armed forces to understand the current situation.
This time the local armed forces of Western Sahara have done a lot. With a small number of people, they successfully delayed and delayed a large number of terrorists.
But at the same time their losses are also considerable.
Their ability to persist until now has largely exceeded Lin Rui's expectations.
But they finally couldn't hold on.
"Can you hold on for another half an hour?" Lin Rui asked.
"It was their forward troops that we blocked before, but their follow-up troops are constantly pressing up, and we can no longer resist.
Sorry, Mr. Rick. We must evacuate. "A leader of the local armed forces said in a hurry.
"Well, you can evacuate." Lin Rui hesitated, nodded. "General Hassan will thank you for everything."
"Why, I can't stand it up front, right?" Scarface raised his eyes and looked at him.
"It really can't stand it. Their military strength and armed forces are under the enemy. It's really rare to be able to block the Jihad Alliance for so long.
How are we preparing here? Lin Rui asked in a low voice.
"The formation hasn't been completed yet. But I don't think the enemy will come so soon. We may have one to two hours left." Scarface nodded. "Brothers are all on it now. Boss, what do you think is your chance of winning?"
"You don't want to listen to the truth." Lin Rui took a cigarette on his own and gave Scarface one easily. "Anyway, it's dangerous this time."
"Which time is not dangerous? But we are all here, are we?" Scarface took out a lighter and pointed it at Lin Rui, "I can pass this time."
Lin Rui nodded, "Is the injury any better?"
"It's okay, at least it doesn't prevent me from shooting." Scarface smiled.
"Promise me, calm down later." Lin Rui patted his shoulder, "There are not many people who followed me all the way. I don't want to lose you anymore."
"Understand." Scarface nodded, "Leave me the most dangerous position."
"I'm afraid this time, all sides are equally dangerous." Kuaima walked into the temporary headquarters from the outside, turning his head to shout outside, "Raise the shelter over there."
"How is the situation?" Lin Rui asked him.
"The flanks have almost been arranged. The personnel have finished the soil work and are rushing to move ammunition. But the defense of the middle road needs to be strengthened.
I am going to wait for them to finish, then transfer to the middle position for collaboration.
There is also a small team, which is also close to completion, and is doing preparatory work. The wired telephone line has been laid out.
The communication lines of each position have been connected to the headquarters. Of course, wireless communication is also ready. "Quaimahui reports.
His forehead was full of sweat, and the dust and dirt on his face rushed out of trenches.
"Thank you." Lin Rui nodded. "Maybe we still have less than two hours. Concentrate the existing mortars and 107 rockets to the artillery position. Store as much ammunition as possible. This is a fierce battle."
