    Lin Rui and others were not passively defensive. In addition to defending several key enemy attack positions, they also built a position in the town and in the central highlands, named Area D and Area E respectively.  Once the front is lost, these two positions can continue to be defended by relying on the terrain.

    And the Actuary General is also preparing to build a third artillery position in the Tolam Wadi in the north.  Due to the rapid advance of the Orumi federal army, the personnel, equipment and materials they originally planned to transport to the rear were diverted to another nearby town.

    Although the Orumi Federal Army organized an all-out attack in an attempt to cut off reinforcements and supplies to the militia forces in the rear, Trident Company's material support team adopted a short-distance multiple transfer method, making the Orumi Federal Army's blockade ineffective.  ideal.

    Because the 2nd Company under General Quinn suffered a devastating blow in the previous battle, it was no longer able to continue to hold on to Area A.  Therefore, the area A position is currently fully taken over by the Trident mercenaries.

    ¡°And these mercenaries¡¯ operations in Area A have to be carried out with almost no cover from friendly forces.

    Lincoln is the former leader of Team B of the O2 Team and an outstanding professional soldier.  Served as commander of a Marine Corps direct reconnaissance company.  All responsibility for the central defense currently rests on his shoulders.

    He realized that in the face of the Orumi federal army's fire advantage, it would be difficult to maintain a defensive operation, and advocated relying on favorable terrain and solid fortifications to implement in-depth defense.

    But General Quinn believed that this was a cowardly approach, and that he should do his best to prevent the enemy from coming up and insist on annihilating the enemy in front of the formation. Finally, General Actuary made a compromise plan, focusing on depth defense and supplemented by flank position defense.

    General Quinn¡¯s troops built strong fortifications along the position for defense; the main force of the mercenary troops was concentrated between Area A and Area D to implement defense in depth.

    Actuary Shogishi is determined to build a solid defense group in area a and area d, with area d as the core position and the two positions as the main defense zones. In area c, which is suitable for charging, there is a defense with a strong bunker as the backbone.  position.

    Their defenses have been built several months in advance, and are mostly based on underground tunnel positions. Bunkers are organically combined with natural rocks, and are connected to each other by communication trenches.  Most of the artillery positions are also built semi-underground, which greatly improves their survivability under fierce bombardment.

    The artillery and communication network are well protected, and there are as many as 6-7 layers of tunnels built around the town!  In view of the combat characteristics of the Orumi Federal Army's armored infantry coordination, the actuaries buried a large number of mines deep in the position, and light and heavy artillery formed a dense firepower network.

    The configuration of all weapons and shooting targets have been accurately calculated, so that they can not only conceal themselves, but also maximize the damage to the enemy.  The only shortcoming is that their artillery still seems insufficient.

    Due to lack of time, when the Orumi federal army launched an attack, a rocket launcher battalion of General Hassan did not have time to pull over.

    Based on the characteristics of these militia units, Lin Rui also gave them special regulations.  Including some close-range shooting, mobile defense with divided troops, decoy ambush and other tactics.  These painstaking efforts indeed caused great difficulties for the Orumi federal army, making this battle the most brutal, arduous, and tragic battle in the Western Sahara campaign to date.

    The Orumi federal army's attack on these militia forces began on the 22nd, and the focus was shifted from the previous area a to area c.  As of the 24th, more than 20 shellings had been carried out, and a lot of shells were consumed.  However, such fierce and intensive firepower bombardment by the Orumi federal army failed to completely break the defense line of the militia forces.

    First, because the militiamen¡¯s defenses were built as soon as they were mentioned, many of them were semi-underground concrete fortifications, which were extremely strong and the shelling effect was very limited.

    And those cunning mercenaries can always repair quickly after the artillery attack. After initially experiencing the powerful firepower of the Orumi Federal Army, they devoted even more efforts to building defenses with tunnels as the backbone.

    The Red Baron was quite dissatisfied with this. Although he knew that these militiamen were actually reserve troops of the previous Moroccan army, they were actually well-trained veterans.  But it is still difficult to accept that the war has ended like this.

    To this end, he made a special appointment with Colonel Hessel, the commander of the Orumi federal forces.

    Hesel said with some hesitation, "Odalat itself is a strategic town. Morocco and the Western Sahara Popular Front have both operated here. It is the most difficult town to capture.

    Now these militias have spent a lot of money to rebuild these fortifications, and coupled with their defensive firepower configuration, they have formed a very efficient defense system.  I'm afraid we'll have to pay a lot of casualties if we take this place.  "

    "It's pretty much what I expected, but we can't back down. In view of the great strategic value of Odalat to this war, I ordered that we must do it at any cost."Download it.  "The Red Baron glanced at Commander Hessel. "If you can't do it, I'll give your command to someone who can.  "

    Hesel had no choice but to risk his life to capture Odarat.

    In the early morning of the 26th, the federal troops from Orumi significantly strengthened their offensive.  To stop the offensive of the Orumi Federal Army.  The artillery of the Moroccan militia began suppressing fire.  The brutal war officially began.

    General Quinn¡¯s fire support formation also joined the artillery battle and began to implement advance fire preparations.  All locations on the entire battlefield were divided into sections, and the identified targets were destroyed one by one.  Although the bombardment effect is not satisfactory.  After all, there are only some small and medium-caliber artillery pieces.

    Although General Hassan¡¯s rocket launcher battalion has arrived, for reasons of concealment, it still hasn¡¯t fired a single shot.

    In the morning, after the shelling from both sides.  Under the cover of armored vehicles, the Orumi federal army rushed to the position, with two minesweeper trucks as the guide, trying to detect and clear mines and obstacles.

    After they rushed to the position, Lin Rui ordered the rocket launcher battalion to open fire.  Several rounds of rocket fire covered the area, destroying or damaging many local armors and causing heavy casualties.  The Orumi federal army was shocked. They did not expect that these militiamen had such fierce firepower.  Fired again.

    The artillery firepower of the Moroccan militia force struck with full force, constantly passing the forward observation post, observing and correcting the impact point of the bomb, and continuing the shelling.  Odarat was almost completely submerged in the smoke from the fire from both sides. The infantry had to suspend their charge and huddled in the tunnel, unable to move.

    While the artillery fire continued, Lin Rui¡¯s two mercenary detachments began operations from the west of Area A and the north of Area C respectively.  Combined with General Hassan's troops, the target is the core position on the east side of the enemy's Area C.

    This was a surprise attack. The previous artillery battle, even exposing the rocket launcher positions, was all for this operation.
