Offensive transfer

In the afternoon, an Oromi federal army launched a tentative charge on the Mirto front line and was repelled. The eighth day of the Battle of Miltow was underway.

At night, a part of the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment of the Orumi Army had entered the starting position for the attack. Before dawn the next day, it quietly moved to a place about half a kilometer in front of the outer positions of the Anmore defenders.

At the same time, the Anmore defenders have all entered the position, and the officers and soldiers are hiding in the trenches waiting for the coming of the fierce battle.

That night, the surroundings were very quiet. If it wasn't for the occasional sporadic gunshots to break the unbearable silence, it would make people feel that such a night was a quiet and peaceful night.

There was mist in the distance, because the positions of the defenders were all set up on the higher hillsides, and a small wind blew, and the mist above the head quickly dissipated.

Therefore, the soldiers lying in the open-air fortifications opened their eyes and could clearly see the stars in the sky.

At dawn, commanders at all levels looked through binoculars, and the people at the forefront of No. 9 Heights didn't even need binoculars, they could see the Orumi Federal Army troops in the distance with the naked eye.

At this time, without the command of the commander, the soldiers have all entered their firing positions.

The blood-red sun finally rose over the horizon, and the mist quickly dissipated. Before the sound of a series of cannonballs could be heard, the shells fired by dozens of cannons of the Oromi Federation Army had already landed in front of the defenders of Hill 9.

From east to west, on a front more than 2 kilometers long, the fire and smoke of the shells exploded into the sky.

At the same time, the artillery shells of the Anmore defenders also shot at the enemy, but the effect was not good. .

About half an hour later, the artillery fire of the Orumi Federal Army concentrated on the northwest area of ​​Mirto, which indicated that the Orumi Federal Army would launch a key attack on this area.

Before the dust raised by the artillery shells fell, about a dozen Orumi Federal Army planes swooped down from high altitudes, repeatedly bombing and strafing some important targets.

The hillside surrounding the northern part of Myrto was a sea of ​​flames.

This is a local village. Located on the west side of the north end of Miltow. This village of about 200 households is located on a hillside, two or three kilometers away from Miltow in a straight line.

Because there is quite a wide open area between the village and Mirto, it is an ideal bridgehead for entering Mirto, and from the east of the village all the way up, it is the commanding height of the entire Mirto and Songshi Town area, No. 9 Height.

As a result, the battle for Hill 9 and its surrounding mountains became the most intense on the periphery of the Battle of Miltow.

The artillery fire of the Oromi federal army stretched back, and then the infantry, under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, forcibly charged Mirto,

At this time, the light and heavy machine guns of the defenders deployed on the beachhead were fired together, and their recoilless artillery also spewed flames. The Oromi Federal Army infantrymen were shot one after another, and the ground was stained with blood.

One after another, light tanks and armored vehicles were hit by hidden anti-tank artillery, crumpling on the road.

The 5th Battalion, which was deployed as the main force of the 9th Battalion on the front of Hill 9, quickly repelled the first charge of the Oromi Federation Army.

Before the smoke of gunpowder had cleared away, Lin Rui called and said to the battalion commander of the 5th Battalion, "We must quickly build up the fortifications, the stronger the better. For the second charge, you should quickly get ready!"

"Sir, aren't they going to attack Mirto, why did they turn to the northern outer position?"

"It's very likely that they want to test the depth of our defenses. Hold your ground and I'll let the other brothers support you.

If the enemy's offensive intensifies, retreat to the next line of defense. Anyway, follow my lead. " Lin Rui replied.

Before the war, the 5th Battalion was temporarily assigned to take part in the frontal defense of Hill 9.

In fact, this is a very "miscellaneous" force, some of which were originally the regular army of Anmore, that is, the subordinates of General Logan.

Later, after General Logan lost power, these people took refuge in another warlord leader, the former Major General Paloy, and formed an armed force with his local troops.

After the start of the battle, the troops also suffered heavy casualties in the defense of the highlands in the southwest.

During the outskirts of Miltow, the battalion took part in the counterattack against the Oromi Federal Army. Their commander, General Paloy, had commanded several positions around a half-battalion company.

However, not long ago, he was hit by several shrapnel while inspecting the position, and he was killed immediately.

Together with the other troops that had managed to occupy the high ground, this unit finally returned to its original position under the tenacious counterattack of the Orumi Federal Army.

At that time, many officers and soldiers of the 5th Battalion held the body of General Paloy and let out a mournful cry-the officer was straightforward, cared for his subordinates, and had no pretense at all.

He was in constant contact with soldiers. He could even call out the names of most people in the battalion, and he could tell the origins and family circumstances of some veterans.

He was indeed a warlord, but also an upright patriotic soldier.

After the full-scale outbreak of the Anmor War, he used his influence to run around in various ways, calling for him to join, and on behalf of his brothers, he invited Ying to kill the enemy, which was finally approved.

After his death, the 5th Battalion remained in its original position.

It was a really messy battle. Height 19 is just a bulge,

The Orumi Federal Army attacked three battalions. Although these troops were incomplete, there were still thousands of people.

So many troops were put into narrow positions, and there was no clear division of labor among the ministries, and no communication signals and signs were stipulated.

In addition, fighting in the dark night when you can't see your fingers, the level of chaos can be imagined.

The Anmor army hid in the fortifications and fired frantically with intensive firepower. The charging enemy troops would slip and trip if they were not careful - there were thick blood and dead bodies everywhere...

At that time, the sound of grenades and machine guns~www.readwn.com~ was like setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year.

In the middle of the night, just after midnight, Lin Rui told the commander of the 5th Battalion over the phone, "The counterattacks of the various departments have begun. I will command the front line, but during the battle, it is difficult for you and me to communicate. If you have anything, you can contact me through my headquarters."

The actuary next to him objected: "This is not good. You are the commander-in-chief. It is not appropriate to go to the front line in person.

"It's enough to have you here. The Orumi Federation Army is a bit uncharacteristic, attacking the surrounding positions with all their strength, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

So I have to go and check the defenses of the city myself. Lin Rui instructed the actuary to keep Kishi at the underground bunker headquarters to coordinate with the various departments.

All the people around him kept him from leaving the command post. He said: "It is my duty and my duty to go to the front line to supervise the battle, so I don't need to stop me!"

Lin Rui was accompanied by two classes of mercenaries to inspect the situation in the city.
