5720 Chapter 5720

​​

Lin Rui was at Bonifacio's front-line headquarters at this time ordering the reinforcement of the fortifications. Not long after the order was announced, several Anmore officers had not completely dispersed, and a soldier hurriedly broke into one of them. Beside the communications officer, he didn't know what to report in a low voice, and his demeanor was a little unusual.

​​

Lin Rui happened to walk around in his office. Seeing the anxious look of the communications officer, he looked very dissatisfied. He frowned and said, "What happened?"

​​

"According to the news, the Orumi Federal Army has appeared in the southeast direction of the coastal fortress!" The communications officer hurriedly answered, the other officers heard his voice, of course, and they couldn't help but stop. Unbelievable, my God, is the Orumi Federation Army really trying to give up attacking Bonifacio and instead attack the Anmore army stationed in the coastal fortresses?

​​

"Where did the Orumi Federation Army fight?" Lin Rui said seriously.

​​

In fact, he has also clearly received the communication information. The Orumi Federal Army came from the beachhead on the north bank. The southeastern part of the coastal fortress group is the enemy's position along the Kem River.

​​

However, he just discussed such a possibility at the military meeting, and he just reacted, but before he could execute it, the Orumi Federal Army killed him, which was a bit too fast.

​​

"Report, sir, the Orumi Federal Army has entered the coastal fortress group from the southeast. According to the current information, we have lost about two companies of troops, and Major Baldwin has unfortunately been killed and martyred!" Tone to report all the information out loud with the most standard attitude.

​​

Lin Rui turned his head and looked at the map without saying a word.

​​

Amid the hustle and bustle and chaotic voices of questioning, someone else reported it and quickly entered the headquarters. The information from General Kassan was brought, which once again confirmed the information just obtained.

​​

General Kassan also got the news of the attack on the Kemu River fortress. Out of caution, he asked Lin Rui again for his advice and whether it was possible for Lin Rui to assist the Kemu River fortress.

​​

Lin Rui was also silent.

​​

From the intelligence point of view, the Orumi Federation Army chose the southeastern corner of the coastal fortress group as the target, and there were indeed many favorable factors.

​​

The fortress buildings there are the most vulnerable. In terms of terrain, the outer terrain is also the driest. There are not too many shoals and accumulated water, which is conducive to the rapid advancement of the mechanized infantry of the Orumi Federation.

​​

In addition, the southeastern part of the fortress group has the shortest wall, which is not conducive to the firepower of the northern coalition in Anmore.

​​

However, Lin Rui had made special deployments for this before, so the Anmore Northern Allied Forces deployed there with the strongest troops and the most light and heavy machine guns. Several of Anmore's main officers were also on the southeast front.

​​

Not long after, the reconnaissance team came back to report.

​​

They roamed around the enemy's position for a long time, but they didn't find any trace of the Orumi Federal Army artillery. If there was an enemy's artillery in the bare wilderness, it should be a very recognizable target.

​​

Lincoln, who was in charge of the reconnaissance unit, couldn't help but feel a little strange. Could it be that the Oromi Federation troops attacking the coastal fortresses were not equipped with artillery?

​​

After receiving the report, Lin Rui also felt it was very strange. If the Orumi Federation army did not have artillery, it would be absolutely impossible for them to completely capture the coastal fortresses.

​​

Because the coastal fortress group Anmor army has been operating for many years, the defense is solid and has a considerable amount of defensive firepower. The fortress artillery equipped by the Anmor Army alone is enough to contain the offensive of the Orumi Federation Army.

​​

The Orumi Federal Army is indeed a mechanized infantry, but they don't have a few main battle tanks, at best they are just infantry fighting vehicles and some wheeled armored vehicles.

​​

Such an armored lineup is not unbeatable, but it can't stand it. The intensive firepower of the fortress group and the artillery deployed in the fortress are also enough to make them pay a great price.

​​

So in fact, the Orumi Federation army must have cannons, but these cannons were temporarily hidden by the Orumi Federation army.

​​

In order to prevent the bombardment of the Anmor army. In addition to being gunners, the artillerymen of the Oromi Federation Army are also excellent engineers, and are very good at digging bunkers to hide the artillery.

​​

The sudden appearance of such a force at the Kem River Fortress made Lin Rui feel uneasy, so he never gave an order.

​​

An hour passed like this. At ten o'clock in the morning, the commander of the Anmore Artillery Wing asked for instructions again: "Sir, the artillery is ready and can support the Kem River Fortress at any time..."

​​

Lin Rui frowned and seemed reluctant to make this risky decision. He knew the firepower gap with the Orumi Federation Army, so he was unwilling to take the lead in exposing his own heavy firepower.

​​

At the same time, the Anmore Northern Coalition Army was already on guard at the Kemu River Fortress. If the Orumi Union Army troops did not have the cover of artillery fire, it would be impossible for them to pass through the firepower network outside the fortress. It is also empty talk to conquer the Kemu River Fortress.

​​

At the very least, these armored infantry need artillery to help open the way. Soon, Lin Rui made up his mind.

​​

"Pull it out, get ready! But without my order, you must not open fire without authorization." Lin Rui said in a low voice.

​​

A few minutes later, Lincoln's reconnaissance team finally found the presence of the Oromi Union artillery, which appeared in the northeast, about five kilometers away from the coastal fortress. At this time, the weather was very good, and the target was very obvious.

​​

Lin Rui immediately ordered the reconnaissance unit to issue coordinates, and ordered the rocket battalion to be ready to attack at any time. As a result, the rocket battalion they secretly prepared was ready for launch, and Lincoln and his reconnaissance unit continued to scout and monitor.

​​

The artillery before the Oromi Federal Army suffered fatal blows. This time, the artillery was assembled from the rear. There are only fifteen or sixteen in total, all of which are 125mm caliber cannon howitzers, old-fashioned models.

​​

And they're all towed guns. Requires a vehicle to pull. The cannon howitzer moves very slowly and deploys quite slowly.

​​

rumbling...

​​

The artillery of the Orumi Federal Army fired first, and the deafening sound of artillery immediately shook the entire field. The cannonball swept across the sky with a sharp sound, and under the gazes of many people, it landed around the fortress of the Kem River, making a deafening explosion. Three of them landed on the outer positions, blasting out three huge pits. The rest of the shells all fell on the fortress. After the violent explosion, the coastal fortresses suddenly changed their appearance. Some bunkers were destroyed, debris scattered all over the place, and there were many casualties.

​​

The screams and screams suddenly became intense.

​​

Two more shells landed directly on the outer protective wall, blasting a huge gap in the protective wall. The Anmor warriors near the gap were either killed or injured, and some were even blown away, leaving no bones.

The scene was a mess, **** everywhere, horrible to see. The soldiers near the gap were lucky not to die, and their ears were buzzed by the violent air waves, and they almost fainted.

​​

In the smoke of gunpowder, several soldiers were covered with dust all over their bodies, as if they had burrowed out of the soil.

​​

"What is Rick doing, what about the Rocket Battalion?" General Hodgson said angrily at the fortress headquarters.

​​

Although he knew for a long time that the artillery of the Orumi Federation Army would definitely bring casualties to the fortress defenders, he was also mentally prepared, but when these casualties really arrived, he still felt very depressed.

​​

Several other officers were also in a bad mood, and several of them had already observed the damage suffered. The losses were of course great, although only seven or eight shells fell, and the fortress did not suffer much damage.

​​

However, some of the shells basically landed in the houses. About one hundred residents were killed and two or three hundred people were injured.

​​

Although the Anmore Army has taught the residents how to avoid the shells, for example, never hide in the house, and try to enter the bunker when there is an air attack or shelling.

​​

However, some local residents are still used to hiding in their houses due to conditioned reflexes. As a result, once the house is bombed, it will immediately be a scene of mass deaths and injuries.

​​

rumbling...

​​

General Hodgson ignored the dissuasion of his subordinates, and stuck his head out angrily, only to hear a loud explosion resounding again, but not on the fortress side, but on the artillery position of the Orumi Federal Army.

​​

Although it was far away, the extremely shocking sound of the explosion still made people feel extremely excited. In the thick black smoke, they seemed to see the fragments of the blown cannon.

​​

It turned out that it was the rocket artillery battalion that finally started bombing the enemy's artillery positions.

​​

The rocket artillery battalion of the Anmore Northern Allied Forces kept firing at the rear of Bonifacio about 600 to 700 meters away. These rocket launchers fired quickly, and when they exploded, it felt like the earth was falling apart, like the end of the world.

​​

Even at a distance of tens of meters, it would be overturned, and the huge air wave swept the surrounding area of ​​hundreds of meters. After the explosion, a large pit with a depth of more than ten meters was left on the ground.

​​

These rocket artillery vehicles were originally planned by Lin Rui to bomb a large number of ground troops of the Orumi Federation Army, but they were used in the support operations of the Kem River Fortress.

​​

It is not the first time that the Orumi Federal Army has tasted their horror. Although the rocket artillery's target is not very high, but the cluster coverage, most of the bombs still hit the target, causing huge losses to the Orumi Federation artillery.

​​

Because when the cannon grenade was launched, they were all fixed and unable to move, so they became the best targets.

​​

An Oromi Federation Army cannon howitzer was hit by a rocket, and the long barrel was blown off on the spot. The hard steel fluttered in the air like soft vermicelli. More than 100 meters away, the party rolled around, rolling until it was near the command post before it cracked and fell to the ground.

​​

Many Orumi Federation officers were also shocked by the violent explosion for a while before they recovered. They now finally knew why Anmore's heavy artillery was slow to move. There has been no news of this unit for almost a month. It turns out that they have been secretly deployed here.

​​

General Yves couldn't help cursing, these **** Anmor army, did they stare at their own artillery from the beginning, did they plan to counter the artillery fire of the Orumi Federation?

​​

The Anmore military base fired several rounds of shelling in a row. In the smoke, the Oromi federal army lost six artillery pieces, and the rest of the artillery operators were mostly killed and wounded.

​​

Some of them were still firing continuously, but they were clearly feeling a bit overwhelmed. In the smoke of gunpowder, the cannon howitzer could not be aimed effectively.

​​

What's even worse is that the artillery shells of the rockets often detonate the shells of the Oromi Federation Artillery Reserve. It is a heavy loss.

​​

"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw! Let the artillery withdraw to a safe area first." General Yves had to roar angrily.

​​

If his artillerymen continued to be bombed like this, they would be completely destroyed in about half an hour. If they were destroyed, it would be impossible to capture the Kem River Fortress.

​​

However, it is difficult for the artillery of the Orumi Federation Army to withdraw even if they want to. They must stop the artillery fire, then put the gun mounts away, and then hang the guns on vehicles to pull them away. These all take time.

​​

This old-fashioned towed artillery is not a self-propelled artillery, and it is also very troublesome to operate. These cumbersome guys are very inflexible just to fold the gun mount.

​​

Afterwards, the rockets of the Anmor army blew up an Oromi federal army artillery.

​​

At this time, the remnant artillery of the Orumi Federation army had been put away, and under the drag of the vehicle, they quickly left the battlefield.

​​

After the rocket launcher fired several rounds, Lin Rui immediately ordered to stop shooting.

​​

As long as the artillery of the Orumi Federation Army did not threaten the coastal fortresses, they had completed the most basic support tasks. So the rocket artillery vehicles of the Anmore Army were withdrawn one after another and continued to hide in the bunkers.

​​

Witnessing the attack of the enemy's heavy rocket artillery, the artillery of the Orumi Federation Army suffered another loss~www.readwn.com~ General Yveh wanted to cry without tears, but he was powerless.

​​

This was the second time. The other side's heavy artillery had been aimed at its own artillery. Once the Orumi Federal Army fired, they immediately bombarded the Orumi Federal Army's artillery position to counter it.

​​

This kind of late-strike tactics has caused the Orumi Federation Army to suffer more than once.

​​

But without the cover of artillery, how can pure infantry attack the strong fortress occupied by the Anmor army?

​​

In front of the fierce guns of the Orumi Federation Army, they were purely the target of slaughter. Even light armor has lost a lot.

​​

However, it is impossible for the army of the Orumi Federation to wait in vain outside the enemy fortress without any action.

​​

General Yves either had to attack the fortress or break through Bonifacio, he had to do something.

​​

It must not give the impression that they would not dare to fight without the support of artillery, not to mention that the tasks given to them are limited in time.

​​

Delaying the fighter plane is a crime that General Yves absolutely cannot afford.

​​

"Never mind, let the troops organize a charge, come on!" General Yves gritted his teeth and decisively gave the order to attack.

​​

Immediately, at the outer positions of the coastal fortresses, light armor cleared the way, and thousands of Orumi Federation soldiers roared and swarmed up with automatic rifles.
