Dusk Fortress

Lin Rui hopes to use the "deep raid" of eight battalion-level battle groups to stop the operation of the Orumi Federation. This is a joint operation, and almost all the Anmor troops on the front line will participate in this big battle.

The two raiding forces would return to Pinestone to join the infantry advance. The terrain and weather conditions were favorable for the raid, as the hard, cold ground allowed their large motorized units to move quickly over the flat steppe.

However, trying to push multiple large motorized troops to 20 kilometers behind the enemy's front line in turn is still unprecedented in several Anmore wars.

The 2nd Battalion under General Kassan and the 7th Battalion under Major General Paloy were ordered to attack deep behind the enemy's rear, targeting Miltau airfield, 23 km to the south.

These two generals are heavyweights in the Anmore Northern Coalition, and they don't have many staff members in their newly formed battalion-level battle group, and they don't personally command the battle.

Mainly rely on the military commanders of the Southwest Front and Trident Military Company to complete most of the raid plans.

During the planning process, the issue of coordination between the 2nd and 7th Battalions was a particular concern, so the actuary, General Kishi, arranged for them to have a liaison officer.

The officer was in charge of signaling and requesting support, and while preparations were rushed, the issue of coordinating the two forces appeared to have been resolved.

The staff organized two map exercises prior to the raid, and the intelligence support for this operation appeared to be adequate, with a wealth of information on the airport layout.

Because the Anmore Company almost took over the airport a month ago, none of those involved in the raid plan expected that there would be ground resistance from the Orumi Federal Army around the airport.

Because they knew that before the start of the previous counterattack on the western front of Delai Town, the Orumi Federal Army had made a lot of mobilization, and the defenders there could hardly hold the fragile front line.

There was only a single battalion of the Oromi Union Army there, and once they were defeated, the 2nd and 7th Anmore Battalions were able to continue their advance towards Miltow relatively unhindered.

Combined with the troops from Pinestone, five full battalion battle groups should be able to deal with the Olumi Federation forces at the airfield and various other rear echelons, and then also be able to open up Mirto's defenses.

At the same time, the troops of the Kem River also began a large-scale raid across the river. The troops in the rear of Anmore are also transporting a large number of troops and war materials to the Kem River.

Created the illusion of an imminent large-scale attack on the Kem River. The Anmore Northern Coalition Army turned from defense to offense uncharacteristically, and it seemed that they had invested the most troops.

At this time, the troops of the Orumi Federal Army on the front line of the Kem River encountered unprecedented pressure.

Soon the Orumi Federal Army began to respond to the crisis encountered on the south bank of the Kem River and quickly sent reinforcements to the east.

The Commonwealth infantry at Bilit has been moved to sixteen kilometers south of the Kem River. The commander of the Oromi Commonwealth Army intends to concentrate the entire force northeast of Mirto before committing it to the Kenm. Weak line of defense along the Mu River.

The actual command of the Oromi Federation Army is in the hands of the Red Baron, who wants a proven commander and staff to manage this important force.

The commander was General Yve of the Oromi Federation Army.

His troops would arrive in six echelons, so far spread out along the railway line between Miltow and the Kem River.

As soon as they arrived, Yves began dividing the detachments into mixed battle groups. They were quite sure that the intelligence services of the Allied North at Anmore were unaware of these developments, as the latter were completing final preparations for an offensive on the north bank of the Kem River.

So far, everything is still going according to Lin Rui's vision.

But Anmore's reserve force has to go to the front line, and the logistics at a distance of nearly 200 kilometers is still a headache.

As originally scheduled, each of these troops received two boxes of fuel and two boxes of basic ammunition, as well as five days' rations.

These additional supplies of fuel and ammunition are still somewhat large, but the haulage capacity of the Anmore Northern Coalition is still quite limited.

Most of the truck space was used to carry four battalions of infantry, and fuel consumption would obviously be an issue for the follow-on units, as they needed to consume fuel to reach their targets, and as planned, they would need to turn back roundabout fuel.

Driving on the southeastern grasslands of Anmore also further increases fuel consumption and wear and tear on vehicles, especially the all-important supply trucks.

And for the current raiding force, there are several major flaws. First, the staff did not properly assess the impact of the terrain and the resistance of the Orumi Federal Army on the mobility of these units.

They simply assumed he could move at 50 kilometers per day, which made it easy to be surrounded by enemy reserves once they slowed down.

But now there is no time, Lin Rui needs to occupy Mirto in the shortest possible time.

The only way is to start the offensive on the south bank of the Kem River as soon as possible, and attract a lot of the enemy's attention to the front line of the Kem River.

On the morning of the 16th, the Anmore Army began its operation and launched a 30-minute artillery bombardment on the Oromi Federal Army position facing the Kem River bridgehead.

Then attacked the gap between the 1st Regiment and 5th Battalion of Oromi. However, they still underestimated the resilience of the Orumi Federal Army. The Orumi Federal Army on the south bank held on for nearly two days before it finally disintegrated.

Due to the unexpected resistance of the Oromi Federal Army ~www.readwn.com~ General Kassan was forced to throw in his three battalions of supporting infantry to break through the attack. A crack was torn in the 5-kilometer-wide defense line, and a thorough advance in the enemy's rear cleared the way.

Engineers from the 7th Battalion built bridges over the river, and General Kassan's troops used these bridges to enter the Olumi Federal Army bridgehead position.

To avoid crowding on the bridge, they divided their troops into two echelons, the first starting to cross the Kem at 11:30, followed by the second at 14:30. By 18:30, the entire army had crossed the Kem River and was ready to engage in the follow-up battle.

By evening, General Kassan was notified by the command headquarters, and the operation began the next morning. Lin Rui named this operation - Twilight Fortress.

The Orumi Federation Army quickly got the news, because the raid by the Anmor troops even caused a certain degree of panic in the Orumi Federation Army.

Because their plan to attack Pinestone has not yet begun. The enemy army took the lead and launched a general attack on them. And from the current point of view, the intentions of the Anmore Northern Coalition are quite strange.
