Battlefield Contractor

In the afternoon, an Orumi Federal Army launched a tentative charge on the front line of Mirto and was repelled. The Battle of Mirto has reached its eighth day.

At night, a part of the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment of the Olumi Army 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 outskirts of the Anmor garrison.

At the same time, Anmore's defenders have all entered their positions, and the officers and soldiers concealed in the trenches waiting for the coming of the fierce battle.

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

The mist was evaporating in the distance, because the defenders' positions were all located on higher hillsides, and the mist on the head quickly dissipated as a small wind blew.

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

At dawn, commanders at all levels look through binoculars. People at the forefront of Height 9 don't even need binoculars. They can see the Orumi Federal Forces in the distance with their naked eyes.

At this time, without the commander's order, the soldiers had entered their firing positions.

The blood-red sun finally rose from the horizon, and the mist quickly dissipated. Before the sound of a series of guns popping out, dozens of artillery shells fired by the Orumi Federal Army had fallen in front of the defenders on Height 9.

On the battle line more than 2 kilometers long from east to west, the fire and smoke from the bomb explosion soared into the sky.

At the same time, the artillery shells of the Anmore garrison also fired at the enemy's line, but the effect was not good. The exposed artillery positions were even more frantically fired back by the Orumi Federal Army. In this artillery battle, many artillery pieces were destroyed. .

About half an hour later, the Orumi Federal Army's artillery fire focused on the northwestern part of Mirto, which indicated that the Orumi Federal Army would launch a key attack on this area.

The dust raised by the artillery shells has not yet fallen. About a dozen or so Orumi Federal Army aircraft dived down from a high altitude and repeatedly bombed and strafed some important targets.

The hillside surrounding the northern part of Mirto burst into flames.

This is a local village. Located on the west side of the northern end of Mirto. This village of about 200 families is located on the side of a hill, two or three kilometers away from Mirto in a straight line.

Because there is a fairly wide open area between the village and Mirto, it is an ideal bridgehead to enter Mirto, and straight up from the east of the village, it is the commanding height of the entire Mirto and Songshi town area, No. 9 Heights.

Therefore, the 9th Highland and the nearby mountainous battle became the fiercest place on the periphery of the Battle of Mirto.

The Orumi Federal Army’s artillery stretched backwards, and then the infantry forcefully charged Mirto under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles.

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 Orumi Federal Army infantry were shot in succession, and blood stained the ground.

Light tanks and armored vehicles were hit by hidden anti-tank artillery one after another, and crookedly collapsed on the road.

As the main force of the 9th Battalion, the 5th Battalion, which was placed in front of the No. 9 Heights, quickly repelled the Orumi EFF’s first assault.

Before the smoke on the battlefield had cleared, Lin Rui called. He said to the battalion commander of the 5th Battalion: “The fortifications must be repaired as soon as possible. For the second charge, you should be ready as soon as possible!"

"Sir, aren't they going to attack Mirto? Why are they turning to the outer positions on the north side."

"It's very possible that they want to test our defense depth. Hold your ground and I will let other brothers support you.

If the enemy's offensive strengthens, it will retreat to the next line of defense. In short, follow my instructions. "Lin Rui replied.

Before the war, this 5th Battalion was temporarily assigned to participate in the frontal defensive operations on Height 9.

In fact, this is a very "unbranded" army, part of which was originally the Anmore regular army, 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 Paloi, and formed an arm with his local forces.

After the start of the battle, such troops also suffered heavy casualties in the defense of the high ground in the southwest.

During the Periphery War in Mirto, the battalion took part in the counterattack against the Orumi Federal Army. Their commander, General Paloy, once commanded a battalion and a half company under several surrounding positions.

However, when inspecting the position not long ago, he was hit by several shrapnel in his body when he was inspecting the position, and he was killed immediately.

This unit, together with the other units that had struggled to occupy the high ground, finally returned to their original positions 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 expressed their grief.

He usually comes into contact with soldiers often. He can even name most of the entire camp, and he can tell the hometown and family situation of some veterans.

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

After the Anmor War broke out in full, he used his influence to run around and called to join, on behalf of his brothers, to ask the enemy to kill the enemy, and he was finally approved.

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

This is really an extremely chaotic battle. Height 19 is just a protruding mountain bag,

The Orumi Federal Army’s attack force included three battalions. Although these troops were incomplete, there were still thousands of troops.

So many troops have been put into narrow positions, and there is no clear division of labor between the ministries, no liaison signals and signs are stipulated,

In addition, fighting in the dark night where you can't see your fingers, the level of chaos can be imagined, and it is difficult to repeat the situation of oneself beating oneself.

The Anmore Army hid in the fortifications and fired frantically with intensive firepower. The charging enemy would slip and trip accidentally-thick blood and dead bodies were everywhere...

At that time, the sound of grenades and rifle guns was as dense as firecrackers during the New Year.

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

The actuary next to him expressed his objection: "This is not okay. You are the commander-in-chief. It is not advisable to go to the forefront. You should preside over the overall situation at the headquarters."

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

So I have to personally check the defenses in the city. Lin Rui ordered the actuary to stay in the bunker headquarters located underground to coordinate with the various ministries.

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

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