Chapter 1734: Roundabout Blitzkrieg
"Take Redstone and open the way for the northern government forces to move south. Your Excellency, you can only get them to your side if you show them that you have any hope of victory. Shogishi looked at General Coffey and said.
"But with our current strength, we can't even organize a decent battle to take Redstone. You know, my people lost too much before. General Coffey shook his head. "At the moment there are less than two thousand people, and after removing the wounded, only one thousand and five or six are really able to fight. The number of people announced to the outside world before was to confuse the rebels, and secondly, to give my people courage, but in fact, I really don't have so many people in my hands. ”
"I'm afraid the rebels know this too. But even so, they still couldn't take Leita City. It's not that they don't want to, but their strength is also not very strong. Lin Rui said, "If we can take Redstone Town, it will play a very important role in future combat operations." I think we could even give up Leta and take Redstone instead if we have to.
After all, Leta City is just a dead land, while Redstone is the hub of north-south transportation. If you retreat, you can return to the north to hold on, and if you advance, you can retake the city of Duleta. ”
General Coffey shook his head and said, "This is absolutely not going to work. The city of Leta is the capital of Ammor, and it is significant for the rebels to take it. Once they take it, it will almost be tantamount to announcing to everyone that their armed rebellion has succeeded. Not only will the petty warlords no longer support me, but even the Western countries will no longer come to my aid, they will turn to the rebels. With the covert support of these Western countries, I will be even more unable to stop them.
This is the case in Africa, whoever can get the support of Western countries can temporarily dominate here. But that won't last long, and once they switch to supporting others, then the situation will change again. This is the reason why there are so many wars in Africa. ”
"But do you think they're going to look at someone huddled in a bunker all day, or are they going to look at the rebel leader who is in a state of rage right now? Once you take Redstone Town, then all forces will not dare to underestimate you. As a junta brain, you have to be tough enough. Lin Rui shook his head and said.
"What are your plans?" said General Coffey, looking up at him.
"As it stands, Redstone is almost impossible to take. But it's not without a chance. "If we can mobilize their existing deployment and reduce their forces in Redstone, then it won't be without opportunity. ”
"It's unlikely, and they know how important Redstone is. Redstone is currently heavily defended. General Coffey whispered.
"That's because we're trapped in Leta, and once we leave Letta, Redstone's strategic position will be greatly diminished. These rebels will focus their attacks on the city of Leta. After all, the distance from Redstone to Leta is close, and there are plenty of troops there. "They're besieging us, but once we move, we can mobilize their deployment in reverse." ”
"Bring in the enemy forces with movement warfare to create a void, but in that case, we will inevitably abandon Leta City. General Coffey muttered.
"Not necessarily. Let's plan how to take the initiative and mobilize their current troop deployment without abandoning Leta City. "Spread out the map of the shore. "At the moment we are surrounded on three sides, but the rebels on this side are the weakest and the least numerous. ”
"Why do you have such a judgment?" General Coffey frowned.
"Because during the day, when they raided, I was in the field to command. Although the rebels attacked us in several directions, I could still judge their actual strength from the direction of their attack and their personnel and equipment. "In the actual battle, the rebels in this area have the worst combat capability. Judging by the rebels killed and captured, most of them were just civilians who had been forced by the rebels to fight. Except for being able to shoot guns, he basically has no professional training. ”
"It's very likely that these rebels seem to be fighting more and more in recent times. Our people have also received information that they have forcibly recruited soldiers in several areas, forced ordinary civilians to fight and even organized a group of young soldiers. General Coffey nodded.
"So this area can be a gap for us to break through. If we attack this with all our strength, we will be able to penetrate their defenses and advance all the way south, and if we continue to break through the border to the south, we will enter the neighboring countries. This creates the illusion that the rebels are thinking that this is General Coffey's breakout force. He wanted to break through and enter the territory of a neighboring country for protection. Shogishi glanced at General Coffey, "I'm sure the general must have considered this as well." ”
General Coffey nodded helplessly, "Well, we did have such a plan before. However, that was only a risky act when there was no way to do it. ”
"So as soon as our people make a big stride. Penetrated their defenses. Then their most immediate reaction will be that General Coffey is going to escape. Lin Rui muttered, "In this case, they will inevitably intercept this force from here and here, in order to prevent General Coffey from escaping." At the same time, however, they do not have many troops at their disposal. The simplest and most straightforward way is to call in Redstone's forces to intercept us directly. ”
"Yes, that's what we need. Pointing to the location of the rebels on the map, he said, "With a portion of the force, mobilize their three defenses, and eventually influence the troops to weaken their strength advantage in Redstone." ”
"And our team, which seems to be fleeing south, can suddenly change direction in this position and fight back against Redstone, while the rest of the forces in Leta City are also all dispatched, forming a flank attack with the first force. Take Redstone while their forces are empty. Lin Rui drew with colored pens on the drawings.
"The plan looks simple, but it's too complicated to execute. This assault force, in particular, had to penetrate the rebel lines while mobilizing the three forces of the rebels. In the end, they have to throw off the enemy army and rush to Redstone Town. It's very difficult to finish. General Coffey pondered it for a moment, still feeling uneasy.
"General, I will personally lead the team, but I need you to allocate more than 500 troops to me. Lin Rui looked at General Coffey and said.
