Chapter 826: Roundabout Strategy

The Philippines tore up the armistice agreement, which was expected by all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, there was one thing that came as a surprise to the Warp Trade and the Moro military.

Instead of landing in the Surigao Strait in northern Mindanao, the Philippines chose to cross the Bohol Sea and directly land on the weakly defended city of Cagayan.

“…… This is the military base in the city of Cagayan, and we have been shelled by the Philippines!"

"Command has received it, Aurora-20 has lifted off and is heading to the target airspace......"

Artillery shells were thrown from across the sea, and the Philippines deployed artillery positions on Bohol Island. Judging from the intensity of the opponent's firepower, the Freemasons obviously invested blood in the Philippines, and a howitzer is like popcorn scattered over it, just like no money!

Armed with American-made weapons, the Philippine Army, under the cover of civilian transport ships, broke through the defense area where the 13th Moro Brigade was stationed from the port of Cagayan City, forcing it to retreat.

Although the Star Ring Trade has a certain garrison in Cagayan City, the number is still too small. Since the end of the Resident Evil incident, the Marines stationed here have been repatriated to the home country or transferred to the Surigao region.

Cagayan City has only 100 combat units, which is equivalent to the strength of a platoon. Although the field commander reacted at the first time, the width of the battle line was simply too large to be filled by 100 people.

The 102nd Platoon, stationed there, immediately split into nine squads and engaged in an exchange of fire with the Philippine 21st Infantry Brigade, which had broken through friendly lines, in the western part of Cagayan City. With the cooperation of individual drones and the Aurora-20 rushing to support, the 102nd platoon made the Philippine Army pay a heavy price, but unfortunately, the city of Cagayan was still lost.

……

After receiving Ivan's call, Jiang Chen immediately left the presidential palace, took a car to the pier, and changed to a speedboat to rush to Crescent Island.

After arriving on the island, Jiang Chen came to the headquarters without stopping.

When he arrived, the headquarters was already busy, with staff shuttling in front of rows of computers, and liaison officers wearing headphones and repeating the combat orders issued by their superiors at a rapid pace, and did not connect the front-line fighters with air strikes and intelligence resources.

Passing through a row of computers, Jiang Chen walked straight to Ivan, who was standing at the command table in front of him, exchanging views with the officers and staff officers. Seeing Jiang Chen, they immediately stopped what they were doing and immediately gave him a military salute.

Jiang Chen simply returned a military salute and immediately asked straight to the point.

"No need to be polite, how is the situation at the front?"

Ivan pointed a laser pointer at a holographic screen on the command table, on which the Air Force scanned the location of the Philippine Army. Judging from the arc-shaped attack front, the situation of the 13th Brigade of the Moro Country, which was caught in it, was very bad, and even reached a precarious point.

“…… The Philippine Army deployed artillery positions in the northern part of Bohol Island relying on roadbed fortifications to shell our base in Cagayan City. The city of Cagayan was the weak point of the air defense forces of the Moro army, who simply gave up gaining air superiority and forcibly concentrated transport aircraft to airdrop a mountain brigade on Mount Mang-Abang. Although it was risky, it has to be said that they succeeded. ”

Having abandoned the reserve of modern warfare and putting itself in the position of the asymmetrical side from the very beginning, the Philippines is much smarter this time than last time. If we follow the fighting style of the group army and put all the muscles of the whole body on the negotiating table, I am afraid that we will be annihilated by the entire division.

At this moment, the Philippine army on the holographic map had a new move.

The forces of the two brigades set out from the Sulu Sea and landed on the Moro mainland in Zamboanga City. At this moment, the two frigates of Star Ring Trade are located in the waters east of Luzon Island and Samar Island respectively, beware of the Philippine Army crossing the Surigao Strait.

Even if it loses sea and air supremacy, the Philippine Army seems to have calculated the lack of Star Ring Trade's air force and navy, and even if it has strong firepower, it is still unable to protect Mindanao in both directions at the same time.

Such a tactic is quite risky.

The lack of sea and air supremacy meant that the armies deep into the heart of the Moro country could not be effectively supplied. However, the Philippines has calculated the numerical weakness of the Moro Kingdom and the Star Ring Trade, and is ready to use the method of continuous projection of troops to launch a war of attrition similar to a guerrilla war with the Moro Country.

It's risky, but it makes up for the disadvantage of your equipment.

"Shet, I don't understand what they bought all these tanks for?"

"The one who commands the Philippine Army is definitely not Marshal Stark, and whoever can give such a combat order is either a madman or a gambler. One of the officers couldn't help but curse.

"There is a high probability that our opponent will be the military adviser Moritz from Germany. The head of the Military Intelligence Service replied.

"No matter who our opponent is, we're going to beat them up badly. Jiang Chen pointed two locations on the holographic map, and then drew two dividing lines fiercely, "Air supremacy and sea supremacy are in our hands, and now the Americans are still watching, we must end this war before they decide to 'peacekeep'." Since the Philippines is going to fight with me, then we will go directly to Manila to arrest war criminals!"

This war cannot be dragged on forever, and if the Philippine mountain division is allowed to fight guerrilla warfare in Mindanao and Moro, the production of the mining areas of the future mining will undoubtedly be interrupted by guerrilla activities. The world ore market is monopolized by Jews, and the factories of the Future People Group can rely on the ore transportation of Mindanao, and if the raw materials are not available, the industrial capacity of Anga Island and the New Malaysia Special District will be seriously affected!

Looking at the location marked by Jiang Chen on the holographic map, Ivan touched the stubble on his chin, and the eagle's eyes were locked on the holographic image.

"Directly through the Surigao Strait and land on Leyte?"

According to the two lines drawn by Jiang Chen, the Moro Army would land from Tacloban, the capital of Leyte Province, with the support of Star Ring Trade, which would cut off the supply of the Philippine Army stationed on Leyte Island, north of the Surigao Strait, and occupy Chong Qiang, which leads to Samar Island.

When Samar Island is captured, Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines, will open its door, and the Philippine president will have no choice but to go into exile.

"That's right. Jiang Chen nodded.

"The feasibility of the plan is very high. Ivan nodded.

"What about the Philippine Army landing on Mindanao?" asked one officer.

"We can only hope that the guerrillas of the Moro country will be on their side, and as long as they are not stupid, it will not be difficult to solve the guerrillas in the Philippines. ”

After a pause, Ivan looked at the officers and said in a sonorous voice.

"Immediately prepare a landing operation plan! Within three days, plant our flag on the Tacloban City Government Building!"

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
