"Okay. I will immediately notify the Moroccan side to clarify this matter. I also expressed my willingness to cooperate with the Moroccan side to jointly deal with the threat of terrorism. I hope our sincerity can convince them." Ernest said.

"They will believe it, but the more important thing is whether they will cooperate? Instead of using this as an excuse to use force against the People's Front of Western Sahara." Lin Rui frowned. "In the current situation, the AU must be invited to mediate. Mr. Ernest, we have to negotiate frankly and frankly with Morocco under the auspices of the AU.

We must maintain the current ceasefire. To avoid Morocco, use this as an excuse to launch a flagrant offensive against Western Sahara. "

"I agree with this too..." Ennis Nodded.

But their conversation was not over yet, and Ernest's secretary hurried in from outside. "Sir, something has happened!"

"What's the matter?" Ernest said in surprise.

"The Moroccan army's routine patrols have just entered the ceasefire zone and blatantly fired and provoked our army. The conflict between the two sides was originally a common small friction. But then, our people discovered that they were followed by armored tanks and Large numbers of infantry.

They launched an attack on us. This is a planned attack. On the pretext that we attacked their patrol soldiers, the Moroccans have launched an offensive against us. "The secretary paled.

"How is the situation now?" Ernest asked immediately.

"We abide by the ceasefire agreement and only have a small number of troops stationed in the ceasefire zone. And they are crowded and well equipped. Although there is no further information, I am afraid the situation is not optimistic." The secretary whispered.

"I want to know the details. From now on, all the news from the front line must be notified to me immediately." Ernest and Lin Rui walked out of the office quickly and hurried to the Military Intelligence Department of the Western Sahara People's Front. .

Seeing Ernest coming, several officers stood up and saluted.

Ernest waved his hand, "How is the current situation?"

One of the officers hesitated, "The opponent's offensive is fierce and clearly prepared. Our army's personnel and equipment are at a disadvantage. Currently, two border checkpoints have been destroyed by the opponent's armored fire.

In area No. 32, two firepower points were destroyed. In area 24, an observation post we set up was destroyed. There is also the No. 19 area. Our two firepower support points were severely hit, and several artillery pieces were destroyed.

In District 6, the infantry defensive group of a regiment can no longer withstand the pressure. Request our fire support. And the only thing we can provide fire support to them is the rocket battalion in this area. "

Ernest said decisively, "Send the 6th regiment and immediately reinforce them. In addition, the rocket battalion provides artillery support to the infantry cluster in the 6th area."

"Wait a minute." Lin Rui interrupted, "Mr. Ernest, you'd better think about it again. If a large-scale conflict breaks out at this point in time, there will be no chance of turning back."

"Sir, one of our main forces is under the threat of the enemy. If they are not rescued, they are likely to be wiped out by the enemy. Even if our other troops are completely withdrawn, there will be a huge gap in front of the ceasefire zone. .

The enemy's large-scale troops will take advantage of the situation to seize the 6th area, and control No. 24 Heights, taking full initiative. We must protect Zone 6, which is our lifeline. "A Western Sahara officer said loudly.

Ernest glanced at Lin Rui, nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Rick. But this is the end of the matter, and I have no other choice. The children of Western Sahara on the front line are bleeding and sacrifice. Fulfill my responsibilities."

Ernest turned his head, "I order to support the 6th area. Mobilize all front-line troops, go all out to annihilate the incoming enemy, and be sure to defend the 6th area."

His decision made Lin Rui sigh secretly. He knew that at this time, Ernest had no other choice. Even though his previous attitude has loosened, the only thing he can do is resist desperately.

Lin Rui didn't persuade him anymore, but turned and walked towards the headquarters. He is now a senior military adviser to the Popular Front for Western Sahara. The war is imminent, and all possible assistance must be provided to them.

"How is the current situation?" Lin Rui asked after walking to the headquarters.

General Edgar Rondo, the commander of the Western Sahara, looked at the large LCD screen with worries in his eyes, "The situation is quite bad. They used the excuse of the border conflict, but in fact this was a despicable sneak attack.

At present, the No. 6 area is very critical, and one of our main infantry regiments is besieged. If Area 6 is controlled by the enemy, it is very likely to threaten the 24th Heights on the southeast side.

If Height 24 is controlled, we will retreat across the board. And their armored forces will take advantage of the situation to pursue them, with disastrous consequences. "

Lin Rui also walked over and looked at the LCD screen, "The rocket battalion is already providing fire support to the defenders in District 6. This should be able to contain the enemy's offensive. But I am afraid it will not last long.

In the current situation, it is necessary to allocate sufficient manpower from the 11th area and the 8th area to support the defenders in the sixth area. At the same time, the 7th Regiment and the 3rd Regiment as the reserve team were transferred up to fill the vacancies in the 11th and 8th areas.

Pull out the artillery regiment originally in area 8 and deploy it here. They are equipped with a 152mm cannon howitzer, which can effectively strike the entire area. At the same time, other units contracted their defenses, relying on their positions to drag the enemy. "

General Edgar Rondo nodded, "This is indeed the case. I have ordered all units to defend their positions. The anti-tank mines we set up earlier should be able to delay the advancement of the enemy's armored units.

If the opponent is only infantry, we should still be able to fight. "

"I am afraid it will not be that simple. Judging from the dynamics of the enemy forces, this should be a premeditated attack, not an accidental event caused by any conflict. What I am most worried about is actually not Area 6. Area 24.

That area is a very critical location, and our defense there is relatively weak. Once occupied there, it will have an impact on the entire battle. "Lin Rui was worried.

The headquarters was full of telephone ringing, anxious conversations. And the sound of reporting one after another. The combat staff ran back and forth, constantly collecting and sorting information, and analyzing combat data. The senior officers pointed to the map and discussed vigorously.

No one thought the battle would come so suddenly. The Moroccan side has been planning for a long time. Although the People's Front of Western Sahara has been taking precautions, it still shows its disadvantages in the face of such an offensive.
