Battlefield Contractor

In the other three positions of the coastal fortress group, a large number of Orumi Federation soldiers also participated in the attack.

But compared to the pressure in the southeast, these three directions seem to be a lot weaker. After all, the difference between the elite troops of the Orumi Federation and the general troops is still obvious.

Several Orumi Federation soldiers charged with explosive packs, preparing to forcibly destroy the fortifications. In addition to the thick fortress walls, the fortresses along the Kem River also have various outer bunkers.

These Orumi Federation soldiers were all brainwashed by belligerent thoughts, fanatical and brave, even if there was no artillery cover, they had to give it a shot.

Sure enough, just as the Orumi Federation Army expected, the heavy rocket launchers on Anmor's side did not continue to strike.

Probably also afraid of exposing the position of firepower by shooting for a long time.

But the rocket artillery was indifferent to these fast-moving Orumi Federation infantry, and the large-caliber mortars of the Anmor Army were different. They seemed to be roaring like crazy, blocking the way forward of the Orumi Federation army.

The mortar shells fell continuously and exploded among the soldiers of the Orumi Federal Army, blasting up together with muddy water, blood, and broken limbs.

In addition to a large number of French-made M327 120mm mortars, the Anmore Army also has a larger number of only 60mm mortars. The power of such a small-caliber gun is naturally much smaller than that of a large-caliber gun.

But for people without special protection, it was enough. Under the ravages of their land, a steady stream of Orumi Federal Army soldiers screamed and fell to the ground.

Mortars placed in fortress positions. The biggest advantage is that it has a high degree of flexibility, and can pay close attention to the most dense part of the Orumi Federation army's offensive formation, or the place that is the most threatened.

blah blah blah...

The machine guns of the Anmore Northern Coalition were also whistling continuously, sweeping the dense bullets across the flat field. A few minutes later, the cratered positions were filled with the corpses of the Orumi Federation Army. Facing the intensive firepower of the Anmor Army, they basically had no ability to resist except for the armor. The tragedies of the past appear to be continuing. Most of the armored vehicles that rushed into the position were blown to the ground, and the Orumi Federal Army soldiers began to shrink behind the destroyed armor and refused to advance.

However, in the fierce battle, some Orumi Federation soldiers stubbornly rushed into the Anmore army's position, and some agile Orumi Federation soldiers rushed forward desperately along the trenches, but most of the ground was destroyed. Solved, only a very few managed to rush into the position, and as a result, they were killed by a heavy rain of bullets.

In the face of the encircling attack of the Oromi federal army, General Hodgson is not a fool. He knows that it is difficult for the troops with less than 1,000 troops in the peripheral positions to form sufficient defensive forces in all directions.

Therefore, his eyes quickly focused on the local young adults in Ellesmere Port.

After selection, he organized a militia of 2,000 people, and made these militiamen completely integrated into the camp of Anmor Jun. Because these people are natives of Ellesmere Port, they themselves know very well that once the Orume Federal Army breaks through the fortress group, they and their families will suffer annihilation, so they also behave in battle. very brave.

The logistics force has been working hard to ensure smooth transportation, and they immediately provided enough weapons to arm some of the local young adults. Subsequently, these people were equipped with grenades, and in the most critical times, they were allowed to attack with grenades.

Naturally, these young and middle-aged people have a lot of strength to seek a living at the port and wharf.

As a result, when the Orumi Federation troops approached the outer positions of Anmore, they were immediately hit by a storm of grenades, and almost no one survived.

General Hodgson himself stood at the front of the fortress and calmly deployed his troops.

Wave after wave of Oromi federal soldiers came in swarms, and another wave was knocked down. This was no longer a feeling for General Hodgson, who had been in a battle-hardened position.

He was unable to retreat because of General Kassan's death orders. So what he is most interested in now is how to use the resources in his hands and how to exchange the least consumption for the greatest results.

It seems that he wants to turn his team into one or several daredevil groups. Even if they are all out, the enemy will have to pay a heavy price.

Apart from this, there is nothing worthy of his concern.

The most depressing thing about General Hodgson at this time was that when his men were withdrawing from the south bank, in order to gain speed for the rescue, the troops simplified most of the heavy machine guns, and even the number of light machine guns carried was reduced by one-third.

This did greatly reduce the logistical pressure and speed up the march.

But at this time, he found that this streamlining decision was simply too bad. If he knew that the Kem River Fortress would be surrounded, he would not have said anything that could be streamlined so drastically.

If there are enough light and heavy machine guns, these swarming Orumi Federation soldiers will not be able to get close to the outer positions at all, and they will all be cut down on the fields outside like wheat.

No need for those militias and grenades at all. A large number of grenades exploded just now, although the soldiers of the Orumi Federation Army were eliminated, but it seemed that some fortifications and traffic trenches were also seriously damaged.

The swarming Orumi Federation soldiers also continued to shoot, and the bullets swished past the position. Many bullets hit the Esco explosion-proof wall of the bunker, splashing a lot of white dust.

There were also people falling down on Anmore's position, especially the position of the machine gunner. Because of the focus of the Oromi Federal Army, the casualty rate was very high. At an important firepower point, the heavy machine gun changed three machine gunners in five minutes, so the casualty rate on high ground was absolutely unprecedented in previous battles. The firepower of the Anmor army.

The lightly wounded Anmore soldiers stayed in the position to continue fighting, while the seriously wounded were quickly pulled away by the ambulance personnel. Most of these ambulance personnel were organized by local residents, and only a few were professional medical personnel.

The temporary hospital is in the fortress, and the surgeons are already busy.

At the Oromi Federal Army headquarters, watching his subordinates continue to fall on the outer positions, General Yves almost lost control. Although he expected such a battle to be a fierce battle, when the result really came out, he still felt heartache, and he had to admit that without the cover of artillery, it might be impossible to capture the coastal fortresses.

However, the artillery was always suppressed by the opponent... Do the remaining artillerymen dare to continue to send it?

General Yves' confidence was greatly damaged, but it also aroused his competitive spirit, and he warned himself fiercely in his heart.

The Kem River Fortress will definitely be completely crushed in front of the powerful Orumi Federation army! I still have more than a dozen large-caliber cannon howitzers. I just need to deploy them secretly in the dark and withdraw after one round, and see if you guys can react!

Sure enough, after the end of the first wave of the ground attack, General Yves did not launch a new attack. Since the outbreak of the battle at the Kem River Fortress, it was rare to spend such a quiet time.

During the day, the fighting continued to be very fierce, but the Anmor army itself lost a lot of people.

Lin Rui also received preliminary statistics. The preliminary statistics showed that the number of casualties was basically the same as that of the enemy, more than 1,000.

This is already an incredible number, after all, the Anmor army is still a defender. Usually, the battle losses of the defending side of this kind of battle should be only about half of the attacking side.

But it was the residents of Ellesmere Port who were even more miserable. A total of more than 300 people were killed, 600 or 700 people were injured, and thousands of people were left homeless.

That night, Lin Rui was still very vigilant, and his officers on duty were on guard at their respective combat posts to prevent a sneak attack by the Orumi Federation army.

The reconnaissance team led by Lincoln also carried out various tasks silently in the dark night, and from time to time shuttled quickly between the enemy's searchlights.

This night was finally safe.

"Actuary, do you have any good suggestions?" Lin Rui sat at the command headquarters. The actuary opposite him, Shogishi, seemed a little haggard, perhaps because of the lighting.

The think tank next to Lin Rui is like a college student wearing glasses. When he speaks, his tone is always calm, and he can't see the slightest emotional fluctuations. It seems that he will never show his emotions.

But only Lin Rui knew how reliable he was.

The actuary looked at the map on the table, but his mind was on the coastal fortress.

"The Oromi Federation Army failed to attack during the day, and the troops commanded by General Yves lost more than 1,000 people and several artillery pieces.

This is of course the reason why Anmore's army fought back tenaciously, and also because of Hodgson's proper command. According to the plan we agreed upon before, when the Orumi Federation Army launched an offensive, our troops should also launch a fierce attack on other sides.

But judging from today's scene, it's obvious that you are a little bit laborious, even though you have used heavy artillery. However, the number of people involved in the attack is not large, the attack strength is not large, and the final loss is naturally not much.

Can I know why? ' asked the actuary Willishi.

"Because the time has not come. I won't mention this for now. I want to hear your views on the Kem River Fortress." Lin Rui replied.

The actuary sighed Kishi, "Hodgson is dangerous. However, I don't mean to blame Hodgson.

If you really want to be held accountable, you should go to the commander of the Anmore Northern Alliance. What kind of force was Hodgson leading? Most of them are the direct descendants of those warlord leaders.

The relative troops of these armed factions are all bandits and hooligans that other troops do not want. At the commander's hint, they were all transferred to Hodgson, and it was remarkable that he was able to drive them to the battlefield.

Those veterans might not be able to hold back even if they changed their minds, and Hodgson did his best.

It is precisely because of this that he is very afraid of the loss of the troops. If too many people died, it would be difficult for him to go back and explain. After all, these are the people who are armed by those factions.

But this time, he had no turning back, and the troops lost thousands of people on the first day. "

"It's hard to do great things if you are afraid of your head and tail. That's good, he doesn't have too many messy worries, but he can fight well." Lin Rui smiled slightly.

Perhaps it was a mistake when Cassan asked Hodgson to reorganize his troops, and it was definitely a mistake to place his two infantry battalions under Hodgson's command.

Everyone knows that the two infantry battalions under Kassan have always relied on the forces of General Kassan, and most of them are old soldiers.

And Cassan and Hodgson have a close relationship.

For those warlords, or they feel that Hodgson has Kassan as a backer, development will naturally be better. So he stuffed all his direct descendants into Hodgson.

Hodgson may not want to do this, but his troops are all relatives of various armed factions. This fact cannot be changed even by himself.

This also caused him to be very tangled on the battlefield before. For fear that the loss of the troops would be too great to explain.

"Hodgson is a good commander, but unfortunately he can't let go. This time he lost too much, but it can make him calm down and put aside those previous thoughts of preserving his strength.

I wanted to activate him, not protect him. They can protect themselves. As long as he's a more purely military commander, not a bureaucrat full of factionalism. "Lin Rui nodded.

Actuary Jiangishi smiled and said, "Heroes see the same thing! Boss, how many people can you dispatch tomorrow?"

Lin Rui said lightly: "A thousand or so, how do you know I'm going to help him?"

The actuary gave the shore a high-five and said, "Very good! Tomorrow, you will dispatch a thousand people, and we will help them from the flank when the Orumi Federal Army is attacking the Kem River Fortress."

"That's it." Lin Rui nodded.

"I'll make arrangements right now." The actuary strode away. A faint smile slowly emerged from the corner of Lin Rui's mouth.

He suddenly felt that this General Hodgson was still a bit interesting. He is in a posture now, that is, it is clear that he is ready to work hard.

To tell the truth, in Hodgson's eyes, his soldiers are a collection of bandits, defiant robbers, local veterans, and gloomy and cunning liars.

But Kasan asked him to lead the troops, and he didn't dare to give an order. Originally, it was through these petty actions to mess around.

But this time it's over. First there was a **** battle on the south bank, and then we finally retreated to the north bank fortress, where we encountered a hard fight again. The troops under his command are damaged again and again. Since he can't explain it, he simply won't explain it.

General Hodgson also made up his mind - **** him! I might as well take the troops and die here, at least be respected as a dead hero, so as not to live in vain.

It was not Lin Rui's original intention to let Hodgson's troops take the initiative. In fact, Lin Rui didn't have much expectations for Hodgson's rotten troops.

However, now has to make such a decision. Yes, he exactly cut off the advance channel of the Orumi Federation Army.

However, a large number of Orumi Federation troops were stranded, causing Anmor's troops to fall into a situation of being attacked by the enemy. If they were not careful, they would turn from hunters into prey.
