Chapter 4651 The flames of war urge the city

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the same day, under the cover of the city's troops, the Iron Hammer rebels broke through the defenders' warning and forward positions, occupied the outer positions of Orumi, and entered the outskirts of the city.  Campbell's troops and Cassan's troops on the right continued to attack, while the mercenary troops on the left moved toward another urban area.

    The defenders in the city have been almost completely surrounded, and the only remaining road is to the east.

    The rebel army that circled to the right posed a direct threat to the flank of the Orumi federal army, and the front was bombarded with artillery fire to cover the attack.  The battle was unprecedentedly brutal. In just a few hours, the Orumi federal army had suffered more than 900 casualties.

    The rebels also suffered heavy losses.  At dawn tomorrow, the Orumi federal army will regroup and launch a fierce counterattack against the rebels across the board. At the same time, it will advance north with its main force and encircle the Braise area.

    A regiment of Anmol fought repeatedly with both sides of the enemy, and finally entered a hard-fought situation, with heavy casualties among the troops.  Due to the arrival of rebel reinforcements from the northern front, they were able to barely hold on to their position.  However, due to the enemy's light armor and intensive artillery bombardment, they were unable to repel the enemy.

    After a night of fierce fighting, most of the fortifications on the main defensive areas had been destroyed by artillery from both sides. Both the offensive and defensive sides suffered heavy casualties, and the entire battlefield situation had extremely deteriorated.

    The artillery shells from both sides almost exploded most of the outer positions into a sea of ??flames. Countless shell fragments were flying everywhere, and the burning fire reduced many villages and towns in the suburbs to ashes.  Relying on the cover of artillery fire, the rebels continued to launch attacks from all directions against the federal troops stationed inside and outside the city.

    Countless stray bullets were flying in the sky, and dots of tracer bullets were moving randomly.  In the billowing smoke and dust, explosions continued to sound, and the houses that were used as temporary bunkers collapsed one after another.  The devastated position was once again immersed in thick smoke and fire.

    There was a disgusting stench in the air, and the orange flames of the shells flashed one after another.  Looking at the position that looked like a sea of ??fire,

    In the temporary command post, Lin Rui continued to ask all units to report the situation.  "Let the troops seize the time to advance and establish defenses at the predetermined location. Especially Elijah's department, they must arrive within the predetermined time."

    In order to reach the left-wing position as soon as possible, Elijah's troops were almost asking the troops to rush forward as hard as they could.  Along the way, they were constantly blocked by federal troops.  In the end, they arrived at the predetermined location and successfully launched their defense.

    Lin Rui looked at the marching trajectories of multiple troops on the map and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, as long as we can hold on, at least we won't be driven out. But now we still have one thing to do."

    "What?" Iron Hammer asked quickly.

    "Paramore. Before we bypassed it, we were betting that Isaiah would have to withdraw. Now that he has indeed withdrawn to participate in the defense of Orumi City, then we must take Paramore. I estimate that there are only a few defenders there.  Army, send your people there and we should be able to capture Paramore." Lin Rui looked at the map and said.

    "I don't quite understand that we attacked Paramore because we regarded it as a passage leading to Orumi City. But now, we have invaded Orumi City and occupied several  City area. Why do we have to turn around and capture Paramore?" Iron Hammer was a little confused.

    "I think so too. Wouldn't it be better for us to concentrate our maximum strength to attack the Orumi federal army now?" Kuai Ma also hesitated.

    "It would be best if we could take down the Orumi federal army in one go. But from the current point of view, it is very likely that we cannot do it. We did take advantage of the enemy's panic and lack of morale to capture several urban areas.  .But most of the city on the west side is still under the control of the federal army.

    And their defense line has been shrunk, and the situation will not change much in a short time.  That's why I asked all troops to enter a defensive state, build fortifications on the spot, and organize defense.  Because the real Parson Corps is coming soon.  We have to defend ourselves.

    At this time, the importance of Paramore has become highlighted. As long as this place is still under our control, it means that we have mastered the logistics and transportation channels and are not afraid of the other party fighting a war of attrition with us.

    And more importantly, as long as this important stronghold on the retreat is still under our control.  We still have room to retreat.  This is not only a logistical supply point, but also a tactical support point.  By controlling this place, we will at least be invincible.  Lin Rui said seriously.

    "You don't seem to have any confidence in our people?" Tie Zhui said with a wry smile.  "Okay, I have to admit that few of my men know how to fight. But how can you be sure that we can't take Orumi?"

    Lin Rui was silent for a while, looked at the hammer and whispered, "Because this is a fact. Even if you do have this idea, your boss behind the scenes?I won¡¯t agree with you doing this.

    Attack the federal capital of Orumi and fight against the rebels and the federal army.  The purpose of the Americans to intimidate the Orumi Federation has been achieved.  They won't allow you to go any further.  "

    Tie Hammer¡¯s expression changed, ¡°How can you be sure?¡±

    "If nothing else, you will receive the news tomorrow." Lin Rui looked at him, "The Americans don't want to destroy the Orumi Federation. They also want to further use the Orumi Federation. And you, the opposition armed forces  , is just a tool they use to achieve certain means.

    They don¡¯t want you to really take power. They would rather start a dialogue with the Orumi Federation and use this crisis to let the Orumi Federation know who is the boss.  "

    "But they said they would support me." Tie Hammer's face turned ugly.

    "They support you to cause trouble, but they do not support you to replace the Orumi federal government. Because there are still many shady behind-the-scenes cooperation between them. The Orumi federal government is finished, and the inside story is likely to be exposed. Now is not the time,  Therefore, it is impossible for the rebel army to succeed in the end." Lin Rui replied.

    "According to what you said, we have been busy for so long and nothing can be changed?" Tie Zhui looked at him and said unwillingly.

    "That's not the case. The Americans will come out to mediate soon. As the opposition, you can make some demands, including allowing autonomy for several cities in the southern part of the Orumi Federation. This includes the release of General Logan and the legal status of Anmore.  Wait." Lin Rui looked at him and replied.

    "That's what I think too. They will mediate on the surface and then start peace talks. The Yankees will mediate. Will you stop the fire? If you don't cease the fire, they will immediately cut off all funding to you. And they will announce that you refuse to accept the ceasefire.  Negotiation." The actuary thought for a while and said.

    "So we have to prepare a retreat." Lin Rui patted the hammer, "We have more experience than you in this aspect."
