Chapter 6281: Three Misses and One Surrounding

The Red Baron's plan quickly unfolded, and a large number of Orumi Federation troops were mobilized, preparing to break out in a fixed direction.

And this breakout direction is said to be the most reasonable tactic after a lot of research and demonstrations by the Federal Management Committee. Because the encirclement strategy of the Anmore Army adopted the method of encircling three and missing one.

That is, it is surrounded on three sides, but a gap is intentionally placed in an unimportant position. The purpose of doing this is to make the enemy have a reasonable escape route and prevent the Aurumi Federal Army from becoming a real trapped beast. This is the weakness of human nature, but if there is still a way out, who is willing to really go all out? When you are really desperate, you are often in a desperate state with no way out.

Regarding Lin Rui's tactic, the Anmore army was not without objections.

Several radical hawkish officers were very dissatisfied and opposed the plan at the meeting on the spot.

"Mr. Rick, we are fully capable of completing the encirclement on all sides. Why do we deliberately leave a retreat for the enemy? Wouldn't it be better for us to trap them all in the city of Aurumi and annihilate them?" An officer first objected Opinion.

"Yes, Mr. Rick, we can clearly trap them to death, why do we deliberately leave them a retreat? Such an arrangement is likely to cause them to break through this gap." Another officer couldn't help but said.

Lin Rui nodded, "That's right. This arrangement will indeed give them a chance to break through. But I just want to give them such a chance."

"But why?" The previous officer couldn't help asking.

"Since the troops of the Aurumi Federation Management Committee disappeared on their own initiative, we have been victorious all the way. Up to now, there is no suspense about the outcome. The only suspense is how much we have to pay for this victory?" Lin Rui looked at everyone. "Aurumi City is the capital of the Federation. In addition to tens of thousands of standing troops, there are also a certain number of guards and gendarmes. When necessary, they can also forcibly recruit troops in the city. Everyone, don't forget that this is a big city at the level of the capital.

So once we block all escape routes. When the enemy has no hope of escape, it is tantamount to forcing the enemy to fight with us. It wouldn't be wise to do that, especially when we're basically in a position to win.

Let's say this as an example, we want to enter a house and occupy it. But in that house, there were more than a dozen vicious dogs. If we blocked the windows and closed the door and rushed into the room desperately, although we could kill the dozen or so vicious dogs. But it will take some time to get rid of these vicious dogs, and I guess I will be bitten badly. Instead of this, it is better to open the back door of the house and drive these vicious dogs out. This can not only quickly occupy the room, but also avoid being bitten by dogs. "

"What house, what dog?" the officer asked in a daze.

"Mr. Rick means that our goal is to quickly conquer the city of Aurumi, not fight the enemy desperately." The actuary general smiled slightly.

"That's right, everyone is a leader of the army, and you know what kind of consequences a retreat will bring to the troops. Encircling three and missing one is to make the enemy's retreat into a retreat. Imagine that the only way to retreat is that there are still two sides on the two wings. The enemy's interception. Can they retreat in an orderly manner? Well, even if they can retreat in an orderly manner, are we on their two wings and just watch them retreat like this?" Lin Rui smiled slightly. "They are running for their lives, and they are nervous. As long as the two wings put a little pressure on them, they will have to retreat from retreat to retreat."

The actuary looked at them and said, "According to our previous statistics, even if the retreating troops do not count the battle losses, after withdrawing, the total strength of the troops will lose about 30%. Because there will be a large number of troops in this chaos without command The personnel could not keep up with the team and were separated, and some personnel defected or disappeared. Please note that this is the previous statistics, under the supervision of the Federal Management Committee.

But now, the Federal Management Committee cannot protect itself, and the Capital District is facing collapse. In this case, after a major retreat, the loss of troops would be at least 20% more. In other words, even if the 20,000 troops successfully evacuated, they would lose at least 10,000. It means that we easily wiped out half of the enemies, and we don't need to attack fortifications, we just need to put a little pressure on the enemies when they evacuate. "

"That's true, but letting the enemy go is always very uncomfortable. If they regroup and come back, wouldn't we have to face a hard battle?" An officer wondered.

"There are many purposes of fighting, and sometimes it is not based on killing the enemy's vital forces. Attacking the heart is the first priority, followed by attacking the city." Lin Rui said slowly, "As the capital of the Federation, Aurumi City, once captured by our army Captured, the impact on the enemy is far more important than killing a part of the enemy."

So this battle plan of encircling three and missing one was decided in this way.

In Orumi City, the office of the Federal Management Committee, the Red Baron stood upstairs, looking at the smoke of battle in the distance, with a gloomy face.

"As expected of the baron, under such circumstances, he can still be so calm and make full use of these Aurumi federal troops." A voice said slowly. It was Sinclair, the only female representative to the FMC, who spoke.

"You think so?" The Red Baron said coldly.

"What else? Only these stupid Aurumi federal officers will believe your tactics. The so-called desperate breakout, reaching a safe area and starting again, is just creating an opportunity for us to evacuate." Sinclair With a sweet smile, she sat down gracefully.

The Red Baron turned his head and glanced at her, but did not speak.

"Don't worry, Baron, I'm already making arrangements. Once the time is right, we can retreat under the cover of these cannon fodder." Sinclair replied.

"It's not a good thing for a woman to be too smart. And a truly smart woman should know what silence is, especially when to be silent." The Red Baron said coldly.

Sinclair nodded, "Understood, so I just came to inform Your Excellency. We are fully prepared and ready to act at any time. If there is nothing else, I will retreat first."

The Red Baron didn't speak, but just faced out the window and waved behind him.

In the next few days, the Orumi Federal Army began a difficult breakout battle, and this time the breakout battle was indeed very difficult. They suffered a lot of losses, but also successfully achieved a regional breakout.

With the gradual withdrawal of troops, the Orumi Federal Army found that things were a little different from what they expected. The figures of the Red Baron and the Federal Management Committee seemed to disappear suddenly.

Only the Aurumi Federal Army was left fighting to break through, while continuing to maintain the defense of Aurumi City.

The thing Lieutenant General Isaac couldn't figure out the most was, what exactly did the Red Baron and his Federal Management Committee want to do?

The reinforcements he had promised had yet to be seen, nor was there any trace of reinforcements. But the messengers have arrived in front of them many times, vowing to bring the red baron's assurance, "The troops that have been withdrawn from the front line have completely escaped the pursuit of the Anmor army, and they are currently gathering troops, and it will be fine soon. You just need to continue Hold on for a while, and we will reinforce Orumi City and assist you in evacuating. The victory will ultimately be ours."

As a result, the so-called Federal Management Committee troops assembled for almost ten days, but they still haven't finally assembled. I don't know if they are going to gather troops from some distant place. During this time. The Aurumi Federal Army in the city has always been fighting alone, maintaining defenses and making limited evacuations. The Federal Management Committee did not provide the slightest assistance. Instead, some areas that were originally defended by the Federal Management Committee were abandoned without a word. As a result, Lieutenant General Isaac and his troops were in danger of being surrounded, forcing Lieutenant General Isaac to draw manpower from the forces that were already unable to make ends meet to fill the loopholes left by the opponent.

Lieutenant General Isaac is not an idiot, of course he knows what's going on. In a rage, he immediately ordered the arrest of the Red Baron.

However, the Red Baron and his management committee members disappeared, completely disappeared.

The Federal Management Committee has been operating here for several years. It is already a local snake here and is familiar with everything here. When the Orumi Federal Army was busy breaking through and defending the point, the Red Baron had already disappeared without a trace with his confidants. And the troops commanded by the Orumi Federal Army were also messed up by his messy orders. Officers can't find their soldiers, and soldiers can't find their immediate superiors. As a result, the military judge sent by General Isaac took a long time to gather the troops, but then they were attacked by the Anmor army, so the troops that had finally gathered broke up again.

Isaac certainly knows that the Red Baron is definitely not as simple as hiding, and there must be a deeper conspiracy behind it. He hated these guys who ate and crawled to death, and ordered the military judge to hunt him down with all his strength, and he must be chopped up to feed the dogs. Anyway, now that the federation is facing collapse, who cares about the authority of the management committee? However, the Red Baron hadn't been caught yet, and even bigger troubles came again.

Almost at the same moment when the Red Baron disappeared, the infantry of the Anmor Army launched an attack on the front of Orumi City. In the face of the overwhelming offensive, Lieutenant General Isaac had no time to deal with the Red Baron's affairs. He had to concentrate on it In response to the frontal attack of the Anmor army. If it doesn't sing, it's a blockbuster. It's fine if you don't attack, but once you attack, it will be a storm. Even Lieutenant General Isaac did not dare to take the commanding style of the commander of the Anmor Front Army lightly.

Facts have proved that Isaac's worries are accurate, and the attack of the Anmor Army is indeed fierce.

On the 3rd of that month, the Anmor Army officially launched a large-scale attack. About three battalion-level combat groups attacked the Aurumi Federation Army in a fan shape from the front of the Aurumi City, focusing on the west side. There is a traffic artery connecting Ankewei, so there is no room for loss, so Isaac hastily dispatched troops to try his best to block the attack of Anmore Army, but after the first day of fighting, he faced huge casualties Numbers, Isaac can only do nothing.

Before launching the attack, the Anmor army prepared for artillery fire for three hours. The cannon howitzers fired continuously, and the dense shells almost turned all the land where the Orumi federal army was located. The Anmor army has stepped up a lot of bombardment and hoarded a large number of shells in the past. This time, the big pour has indeed produced a great effect, and the Orumi Federation army was almost bombarded. During these three hours, the day has completely turned into night, and it is the most terrifying night.

Under the intensive bombardment, the frontline positions of the Orumi Federation Army were in a mess. Many soldiers of the Orumi Federation Army were not killed by shrapnel, but by the shock wave. Except for bleeding from the nose and mouth, they were covered in blood. There are no scars up and down. Many soldiers who were on the battlefield for the first time, under the shock of the violent shells, lost their nerves, jumped out of the trenches desperately, and ran crazily until their bodies were completely torn apart. Lack of oxygen also choked many Orumi Federation soldiers to death.

On the first day of the attack alone, the Anmor army advanced five kilometers, and the Orumi Federation army lost nearly 3,000 people, and the frontline positions were basically destroyed. However, this is not what Isaac is most worried about, after all, it is five kilometers behind. There is still a defensive buffer zone of ten kilometers. It was enough for the Anmore army to toss slowly. What he was most worried about was the armored troops of the Anmore army. They were the deadliest killers.

The outskirts of Orumi City, with flat terrain and criss-crossing roads, are most suitable for armored mobile operations. In past wars, infantry with good mobility were basically the decisive force for grabbing control of the periphery. This has basically been the case from the original post-colonial period until now. It's just that modern weapons have undergone tremendous changes, and the emergence of weapons of mass destruction has made the importance of mobile infantry seem to be slowly decreasing.

However, in the face of the Orumi Federation Army. The armored units of the Anmore Army are still terrifying. If the commander of the Anmore Army does not make good use of the armor, he cannot be regarded as a qualified commander. Isaac judged that Lin Rui would definitely dispatch his limited armored troops to carry out the Thunder Strike, but the target of the Thunder Strike. He still can't tell.

Not long after, the staff officer sent information that a large number of Anmor Army armor appeared in the area north of Orumi City, and it was very likely that the bridge there would cross the river and attack in the direction of Orumi City, and the Anmor Army in the north. Morr army infantry together. The Orumi Federation Army in the middle was attacked from both sides. However, after research by Lieutenant General Isaac and other officers, they felt that this possibility was unlikely. If the Anmore army wanted to eat themselves in one bite, they were not yet that capable.

But in the overall defense line of the Orumi Federation Army, the area north of the Orumi City is a weak spot, because Lieutenant General Isaac really can't spare so many troops to pay attention here, so he had to give up temporarily.

However, the Aurumi Federal Army is not very concerned about this, because there is their outlying fortress in the north, as long as there is this outlying fortress. Any Anmore Army that cuts in from here, and finally suffers from two sides, must be the Anmore Army itself. He believes that the Anmore Army will not do such a stupid thing.
