Chapter 5703: beachhead

Compared with the headquarters, Lin Rui is more concerned about the loss of forward positions.

The beachhead of the Anmor army was repeatedly ravaged by the air raids of the Oromi Federation. Some of the fortifications built by Anmor were blown to pieces. Soldiers' stumps and arms and various gun parts were scattered everywhere.

Lin Rui knew very well that once the permanent defense facilities were lost, the soft river sand would simply protect the soldiers of the Anmor Army.

The temporary fortifications built on the soft river sand could not withstand the bombardment of the enemy.

To make matters worse, while the air strikes were taking place, the Orumi Federation Army attacked, and at least one battalion, using air cover, forcibly crossed the river.

The Anmore Army, which was not dead on the front line, collapsed, and they collapsed directly under the fierce air strikes of the Oromi Federation Army.

A battalion of soldiers from the Oromi Federal Army crossed the river. The remaining two hundred people had already boarded the Anmore Army beachhead on the other side of the Kem River. These Oromi Federal Army soldiers immediately occupied the Anmore Army and left behind. position and proceed to consolidate the beachhead.

A sudden burst of fierce artillery fire fell on the beachhead. These shells were extremely powerful. The soldiers of the Orumi Federal Army who had just landed were wantonly ravaged by the heavy artillery of the Anmor Army. Many soldiers of the Oromi Federal Army who had just landed on the beachhead was bombed to the sky.

The Anmor Army's heavy artillery blasted the soft sand on the beachhead into the sky, and it was also mixed with various human body stumps and weapon parts. Heavy casualties are certain.

Just after landing, the Orumi Federation Army lost almost two companies, which was still with the help of air cover.

In the temporary command post by the Kem River, General Yves has been using binoculars to observe the scene of the battlefield, while using the image of drone reconnaissance to observe. The heavy artillery of the Anmor army was so well concealed that every cannon was covered with thick branches.

The unmanned reconnaissance aircraft of the Orumi Federation can look down from the sky, but at the beginning, they did not find the excellent heavy artillery hidden by the Anmor army.

The Orumi Federation Army, which controls the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, has no experience with these hidden methods on the battlefield!

However, as soon as the Anmor Army's heavy artillery began to shoot, it was immediately captured by the drone to the precise location, and immediately used a wireless signal to inform the Oromi Federal Army Command of the Anmore Army's heavy artillery position coordinates.

The artillery fire of the Anmor army fired back. Lin Rui knew that something was wrong, and he didn't even have time to deal with the officer Anmore who opened fire without authorization.

Because he needs these officers to lead the team and withdraw all the artillery from the artillery position.

Sure enough, the heavy artillery of the Anmor army was arrogant in less than five minutes, and the artillery counterattack of the Orumi Federal Army began. The heavy artillery positions of the Anmor Army were instantly destroyed by the Oromi Federal Army artillery who knew their exact coordinates.

But because of the timely evacuation, the Anmor army had only a few casualties.

After the incident, Hodgson, the commander of the Anmore Army, was so angry that he wanted to shoot the officers who opened fire without authorization and exposed the location of the heavy artillery.

But he was still discouraged by the actuary Jiangishi. There are not many artillerymen in the Anmore Army, and these artillery commanders are all technical talents. Still as safe as possible.

And the Oromi federal troops, with more than 100 casualties, established a semi-circular beachhead with a radius of less than 500 meters by the Kem River. Of course, such a beachhead is very fragile.

As long as the Anmor army could counterattack with artillery fire regardless of the losses, the half-battalion of German troops that had only crossed the river would not be able to defend the beachhead that had been ravaged by artillery fire countless times.

But the Anmor army has been suppressed by the fierce and accurate artillery fire of the Orumi Federation Army, and they can't move now, and they don't dare to move.

And General Yve of the Oromi Federation Army, of course, would not miss such a good opportunity. He immediately asked his troops to start repairing and erecting the bridge on the original piers, and also managed to erect a light pontoon bridge.

The restored railway bridge was used to pass tanks and self-propelled artillery, and the light pontoon bridge was used to pass infantry and trucks.

These regiments of the Orumi Federal Army are fully mechanized infantry, with light tanks, self-propelled artillery, and more trucks, armored vehicles, motorcycles, and more.

With so much heavy equipment, it would simply not have been possible to pass on time without the bridge.

General Yves didn't want to be stagnant by the Kem River for too long, after all, what he needed most at this time was to grab time.

In addition to anti-aircraft guns, the Anmore Army has no good way to absolutely win the enemy's aircraft. And these anti-aircraft guns also lost a lot under the first air raid.

The Orumi Federal Army all took action under the order of General Yves, repairing the bridge and erecting the pontoon bridge, and crossing the river at the same time.

The Orumi Federal Army had already carried some river crossing tools in order to cross the river—mainly rubber dinghies. Some of them were lost in the past, and now there are more than ten of them that can be used. These river crossing tools cannot be idle like this!

Some infantry squads can still ride with light and heavy machine guns. Although the charging boat crossing the river has a small carrying capacity, it is fast. It can go back and forth in more than ten minutes, and it can also transport a squad of heavily armed soldiers and ammunition each time.

But the role of these soldiers in expanding and consolidating the beachhead is very important. The beachhead with a radius of 500 meters is too small.

If the troops are still insufficient, the Anmor army can drive these troops to the Kem River to feed the fish with a single charge.

Soon a battalion of Oromi Federation infantrymen crossed the Kem River in rubber boats, and a dozen light-armored bridging barges were also used. This light armor is an infantry fighting vehicle, which is an armored combat vehicle for infantry mobile combat.

There are shooting holes on the vehicle, and the infantry can shoot in the vehicle, which is superior to the armored personnel carrier in terms of firepower, protection and mobility.

Originally, these infantry fighting vehicles were mainly used to cooperate with tanks, and their mission was to quickly maneuver infantry units to destroy enemy light armored vehicles, infantry anti-tank fire points, active forces and low-flying targets.

But now, General Yves hopes to use these infantry fighting vehicles to strengthen the beachhead.

The Oromi Federal Army infantry battalion that landed, under the order of General Yves, immediately expanded to the periphery of the beachhead with these infantry fighting vehicles.

Two hours later, the beachhead had expanded to a radius of two kilometers, and a whole regiment of infantrymen had crossed the river.

The Anmore Army, who had retreated to the second line of defense, wasted these precious two hours in vain. They did not launch a counterattack against the beachhead established by the Orumi Federal Army.

It's not that Lin Rui doesn't want to launch a counterattack, but that he has already received news that an artillery regiment of the Orumi Federal Army has arrived secretly.

Once the Anmor army organizes a counterattack, it is bound to be suppressed by the enemy's artillery fire. And even if they act now, they can't stop the enemy from establishing a position on the beachhead.
