Battle of Scarlo

The battle is about to start, and Lin Rui's troops are already in the midst of stormy waves, but he still sits at the desk.

Since the power supply line in the city was partially damaged, the headquarters could only be powered by an unstable generator, so he carefully looked at a precise map under the dim light.

When he saw the actuary come in, he motioned to him.

After the actuary finished reporting the current situation, Lin Rui thought for a moment, and then gave instructions: "It seems that the climax tonight will not be on the outer periphery of the current main attack, but will be on the south side. The enemy's offensive during the day cannot succeed. There must be a sneak attack at night, so pay close attention.”

When he said that, the battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion of the Anmore Army came to report. His 3rd Battalion, which was originally defending the western suburbs, had been transferred to the city yesterday. His battalion was holding the road area of ​​Nancheng. A battalion commander's combat record.

The battalion commander of the 3rd Battalion walked into the office, saluted, and stood upright. Lin Rui said: "This time you have cooperated very well with the artillery battalion, and the brothers are also very responsible. However, we must do everything for the good, and at the same time, we must also take precautions against extremely bad situations. The enemy's attack today It's just the beginning, we won't give up the original attempt. We think that probably tonight, the enemy will definitely attack, and you have to keep a close watch at all times."

Having said that, Lin Rui waved his hand and asked the battalion commander to come closer, "We have several plans to deal with the enemy before, and they have been handed over to you before. It is a matter of confidentiality, so I don't need to dictate."

The battalion commander nodded and asked for instructions: "Has the power supply of the headquarters been restored now? Can we report it by phone?"

Lin Rui nodded: "Yes, the wireless communication has always been smooth, but in order to prevent the enemy from eavesdropping, you only need to follow the order number." After that, he asked the 3rd battalion commander to do it quickly.

Battalion Commander Anmore saluted and exited.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark, and the telephone bell rang rapidly in the battalion command post. The 3rd battalion commander picked it up and heard it. The company commander said: "Report to the battalion commander, on the opposite side of the road on the south side, there is an enemy movement, and there is an attempt to move towards our position. There is a very thick smoke screen there. It is still unclear how many people there are."

The battalion commander immediately reported the positive information to the headquarters.

Lin Rui instructed: "Strictly monitor with machine guns, and do not allow the enemy to move on a large scale." After that, he put down the phone, asked the actuary to station the shore at the command post, and ran to the observation post to observe.

Scarlo's defensive position is a "pin"-shaped outline, but the positions on the three sides of the northeast and west are all temporarily reinforced, all of which are Esko blast-proof walls, and the walls are built a person high, and the thickness is about two meters.

In the area of ​​the southern highway, some of the original fortifications are still preserved, and this area is usually called the southern line. Although the defensive terrain of the southern line is high, it is not too high, only more than two feet.

The newly built houses along the outside of the city, as long as they are more than three floors, have all been reinforced, forming a solid defensive fire point.

Therefore, although this south side is the strongest defense line, there are also many problems.

Lin Rui was in the observation station and found an unobstructed position to look out. Sure enough, the smoke was shrouded in it, covering a large area.

The weather has been bad these days, the battle has caused a lot of smoke, the clouds are thick and the wind is strong, and there are no stars. Fortunately, the artillery fire around the city reflected a kind of dark red light, which was still bright in the distance, so when the smoke screen moved to the south, from the gap blown by the northwest wind, vehicles were found. action.

Lin Rui immediately ran back to the battalion command post, ordered shooting by phone, and then received a report from the 3rd Battalion.

After Lin Rui got the report, he could already hear the screeching roar of the machine gun from a distance. He immediately called the Anmore army in the city's defense city to intercept it, and ordered the battalion's mortars to send two more platoons. 3 Battalion in command.

After receiving the call, the reinforcements gathered to reach the lower south in less than 10 minutes, and the two companies of the 6th Battalion personally led the charge to the defensive position outside the south gate.

At this time, the attacking enemy has entered the No. 4 area. The garrison was stationed here by the 2nd Company of the 3rd Battalion. The fortifications there are based on temporarily dug half-man trenches.

The trenches made use of the slates from the street, combined with the piled up Esko blast walls, and made some shelters.

A platoon is equipped with 4 light machine guns and a few heavy machine guns in the machine gun company. After Lin Rui issued the shooting order, the machine guns here violently swept across the road. The mortars mounted behind the South Gate also observed the distance and prepared to fire shells. In an instant, the flames of the exchange of fire between the two sides became one. When the flames of the artillery fire opened, two or three flames rose. It can be judged that it was the Orumi Federal Army vehicle that burned after being bombed.

When the vehicle was blown up and burned, the road was flushed red, and the smokescreen could not cover the sneak attacking troops. The Orumi Federal Army originally intended to smuggle, and the guns and guns were silent at first, and now that they have all been discovered, there is no need to hide it.

The artillery of the Orumi Federation Army, separated by a long distance, aimed at the fortifications of the Anmor Army, and bombarded it with artillery fire. Cannonballs landed on the ground "whoosh", blasting the rocks and dirt into the air.

In the latter part of the southern defense line, mercenaries and the Anmore Army jointly led the troops to garrison. Opening their eyes, they saw the enemy's vehicle rushing towards their defense area, so they ignored the fierceness of the enemy's artillery, and the commander intercepted it on the road.

The goal of the Orumi Federation Army was clearly the south, so they also concentrated a dozen large and small artillery pieces and slammed into this small position in the south. The artillery shells fell in series with a muffled explosion for only a few minutes. Here is a sea of ​​fire.

In the sea of ​​​​fire, the machine guns are still "suddenly".

Lin Rui immediately anticipated that the situation was critical, and was about to call to inquire, when a sentry from an observation post ran over, and from a distance he stood at attention and reported: "Report, under the firelight, I saw a dozen enemy armored units, already on the periphery of the position. When we got closer, four or five hundred enemies flocked to the position. Some of them have already attacked the position."

"You go and tell the brothers of the 3rd Battalion on the south side that if the enemy approaches and bombards them with grenades, our men will come immediately!" The sentry ordered to leave.

Area 4 is an old defensive position on the southeastern position. From here, the position increases westward and lowers eastward. It is almost the commanding height of this position. If the Orumi Federal Army occupies the place, it can set up artillery here and directly bomb the Anmor Army headquarters. In particular, there is a large amount of ammunition and ration hidden in this important area, which is directly related to the life and death of the defense forces. Therefore, in this fierce battle, from the battalion commander to the private soldiers, they had to work hard and slogan that they would win.

When the battle was at its most intense, General Hodgson even went to the position himself, with a short gun on his shoulders, and two adjutants and a few guards, who personally went to the southern front to supervise the battle.

In a shelter only three or four hundred meters away from the No. 4 area, General Hodgson personally listened to various reports on the battle situation. He knew that more than 500 enemies rushed to the position, and after fierce battles with the defenders, nearly 200 people had been eliminated. There were about 200 enemies left in the No. 4 area. Because the defenders in the south of the city were using mortars and machine guns to closely monitor the river surface, the enemies behind were also restricted and could not come up with reinforcements.

Hearing this situation, Lin Rui did not feel relieved, because he was thinking about the overall war. Now the outer line of the city has been tightened by the Orumi Federal Army. The battle is basically fierce near the city, and the southern defense line has appeared. This confidant must not be allowed to stay for a long time, and it must be extinguished as soon as possible while the enemy can't reinforce.

Therefore, Lin Rui ordered the 6th Battalion, which was fighting on the flank, to rush up from the flank and form an encirclement behind the enemy, to contain or destroy the machine gun positions built after the enemy occupied Area 4. He also appointed the commander of the 3rd Battalion, who was in frontal combat, to lead a company of troops to reinforce the brethren of the 6th Battalion at the junction of the two positions.

"At any cost, try to stabilize the line of defense within 2 hours!" Lin Rui gave a ruthless order to die.

It was the 3 battalion commander who made the first contribution in the battle on the southern side. The 3 battalion commander has been fighting from that afternoon to the next morning, and has not rested for more than ten hours, let alone drinking and swallowing food.

He was both ashamed and angry in his heart. The headquarters entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of guarding the southern position, but one of his subordinates was almost killed on the position, resulting in the successful attack of the Orumi Federal Army. , and occupied the No. 4 area in one fell swoop after impacting the position. Although it wasn't that his command was wrong, he always felt that the gap was torn in his body, or in his heart, and he had to fill it up with his own hands.

Only when I make up my mind will I feel at ease, and my heart will not bleed. Even if I die, I will close my eyes. Therefore, as soon as he received Lin Rui's order, he immediately rushed through the gap with a few companies.

In the key part of Anmore, there are two Avengers cannons that Anmore military first concealed under the bunker. As soon as the convoy moved, he immediately shot. The Orumi Federation troops, who were sheltered by the masonry of the foxhole, were suppressed and unable to move. Their armor feared the ferocious firepower of the other side, and the infantry could not charge without armor cover.

Under the intensive cross-fire, the soldiers fell and could no longer rush. They hid under the already occupied foxholes and masonry piles, expecting fire reinforcements.

The Anmore Army did not dare to delay, and a company commander of the 3rd Battalion personally led a group of people, crawling and approaching about 10 meters. Taking advantage of the positional firepower to distract the attention of the Orumi Federation Army, after leading people to approach, they fired anti-tank rocket launchers at close range.

Several combat vehicles were damaged. Looking from a distance, a thick cloud of mushrooms shot up into the sky. When the enemy in the distance saw this, they thought that the Anmor army had deployed and fired anti-tank guns and ran around.

In order to compete for the No. 4 area, the Orumi Federal Army assembled 6 vehicle-mounted mortars, combined with light and heavy machine guns, and violently bombarded the Anmore military fortifications. The batch fell.

In view of this situation, the 3rd Battalion could only implement the defense plan planned by Lin Rui, and had to temporarily abandon the road entrance on the south side and retreat to a school not far from the outskirts of the city. It was a middle school. At present, the personnel have been evacuated. There are walls on three sides. The eggplant is located on the back of the T-junction outside the South City Gate. A line of defense.

The Oromi Federal Army then dispatched several planes to bomb the abandoned middle school with artillery bombardment, and attacked the school buildings in a dense formation. The 3rd Battalion used the rubble as a cover to resist desperately. The Orumi Federal Army rushed forward in batches, and the Anmore Army fired again and again, shooting enemy armored vehicles with rocket launchers in the concealed places.

The two armies stand in a stalemate and fight to the death. In the end, the Anmor garrison fought the enemy in melee with light weapons, and many soldiers fell in a pool of blood in the enemy's salvo. In the danger of running out of ammunition and destroying positions, the remaining 3rd Battalion had to be forced to withdraw into the suburbs.

The southern defense line was completely destroyed in this battle, and the Anmore defenders could only rely on the trenches about 20 meters wide and the complex terrain outside the city.

Several planes of the Oromi Federal Army bombarded the suburban bunkers, bunkers, trenches, and bunkers indiscriminately, and then organized infantry to swoosh like a tide.

In order to ensure that the southern area was not lost, the officers of General Hodgson's command came to supervise the battle in person.

Further back are several prosperous streets outside Scalonnan City. Before the war, the 3rd Battalion of the defenders had opened up the houses in this area and connected them into one. There were large and small shooting holes in the walls. The walls are reinforced to facilitate room-by-room adherence.

In addition to the bombing of the Oromi federal army in turn ~www.readwn.com~, they also threw a large number of incendiary bombs. very bad.

The last line of defense in the suburban positions was still opened, and the sound of killing was loud, and the streets and alleys were full of corpses and blood flowed into rivers. Because the successor troops of the Orumi Federal Army kept up, the Anmor soldiers were unable to fight for a long time, and were forced to retreat to the southern city.

There are still fierce battles in several surrounding areas, and the most fierce battle in the South Gate No. 4 area has ended, marking that the Scarlo battle has entered the battle of the city walls ahead of schedule.

On the night of the headquarters, a few stars appeared in the night sky. The northwest wind whistled and rolled over in a low-altitude "woo woo". The thick clouds scattered with the wind and gathered, when the moonlight was like water, when they gathered, the sky was dark.

Lin Rui finally let it go. The resistance of Anmor's army exceeded his expectations. He originally only needed them to hold on for two hours, but they held on for more than ten hours before they gradually began to give up the southern position in an orderly manner.

And the 3rd Battalion has been in contact with them from beginning to end, reporting on the situation of the troops in a timely manner. This shows that after many battles and a large number of casualties, this Anmore force has finally begun to approach maturity.
