Jiang Haoran did not seem to have any objection to this plan, and ordered the troops to implement it according to this plan, and the only requirement was to be fast. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The generals who received the order dispersed in a hurry with joy, and those who did not get the task still wanted to find Jiang Haoran to grind, but they were unceremoniously driven out by Jiang Haoran, but Liu Xianwei, the commander of the airborne division, and Williams, the commander of the Marauder Independent Regiment, were named and left behind by Jiang Haoran, which made the two who originally thought that there was no hope suddenly ignite the fire of hope again, and the expression on their faces was called excited.

As soon as the generals left, the command immediately quieted down, and only Huang Jie, Luo Zhuoying, Liu Xianwei and Williams were left, Jiang Haoran commented on the plan just now, pointing out that the combat plan formulated by Huang Jie and Luo Zhuoying was more rigid, but the flexibility was insufficient, and the thinking of the two remained in the past and did not jump out, and the current expeditionary force is already an integrated force with the navy, land and air force, but it is not reflected in the battle plan at all.

It is true that there is nothing wrong with the frontal attack, and there is almost no suspense in attacking the enemy with a strong superiority in forces, and there is almost no suspense in defeating Mandalay, but the casualties are bound to be staggering, and as long as the plan is slightly changed, the casualties will immediately be sharply reduced, and it can even achieve the effect of four or two thousand pounds.

As soon as Jiang Haoran's words came out, Huang Jie and Luo Zhuoying suddenly blushed, and the complacency that was still a little recognized was suddenly swept away.

Huang Jie explained that they are not thinking about putting the navy to use, and that a large-scale air battle is inevitable, and that the four aircraft carriers will definitely have to sail to Burmese waters to join forces with ground aviation fighters to compete for air supremacy over Mandalay.

Jiang Haoran smiled slightly, not in a hurry to refute Huang Jie, and waved his hand to signal everyone to follow him into the war room.

Several people entered the war room full of doubts, Jiang Haoran picked up the command pole, pointed to Chittagong on the sand table and said: "The coastline from Chittagong to Myanmar is only more than 1,000 nautical miles, and the combined fleet of the island army at this time has just suffered heavy losses, and the Pacific Fleet of the Mi Army is eyeing them, they dare not go out of the Strait of Malacca at all, so no matter how our navy tosses in the Indian Ocean, there will be no danger, and what can be done is far more than participating in air battles, such as a surprise attack on Mengdu." ”

"Surprise attack on Mengdu?"

There was an exclamation in the house, as an important port city in Myanmar, Maungdo must be heavily guarded, which is undoubtedly a very risky operation for the navy that has just been formed.

But Jiang Haoran didn't pay attention to everyone's surprise, and continued: "Don't think it's incredible, and don't worry about whether the navy has this ability, I can tell you, I don't know about other naval officers, but my 41st Group Army Navy Independent Division began to carry out intensive training in landing and beach operations a year ago, and this time there is a regiment of more than 3,000 people who have arrived in Chittagong, and they will take the main attack on this surprise attack, even a large port city has to be fought, let alone a small Mengdu, it should be given the navy a chance to combat training. ”

Having said this, Jiang Haoran turned to Williams and said, "John, after the navy successfully seizes the beach, the task of capturing Mengdu will be handed over to you, can you complete the task?" ”

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" John?? Williams replied excitedly.

Although their regiment suffered heavy casualties in the Battle of Lashio, and there were only more than 800 people left in the whole regiment, they were the only troops of the British Army to participate in the Burma Campaign, and at the same time they also created extraordinary records, giving the British army a lot of face, and the troops were replenished at the first time, and the supplementary troops were all elite soldiers selected from the British army, and many of them were airlifted from the African battlefield.

"What about us, Soza?"

Seeing that Williams got the task, Liu Xianwei was immediately anxious.

Jiang Haoran smiled knowingly and said, "Don't worry, your task is heavier, the goal of your airborne brigade is here."

Jiang Haoran said and waved the command pole, and the tip of the pole fell on the place name Ren'anqiang, and there was an exclamation in the war room again, but everyone quickly understood that Jiang Haoran was so powerful.

Mengdu and Ren'anqiang are on the same parallel line, more than 100 kilometers east from Mengdu is Ren'anqiang, both of which belong to the west bank of the Inovady River, and are the out-and-out rear of the island army, although the strength will not be less, but it will not be too much, it is remarkable that the wing is formed, whether it is the Marauder Independent Regiment or the Airborne Brigade, there is no suspense in dealing with a wing of the Japanese army, and it can win a complete victory properly.

Two hundred kilometers north from Ringanqiang is the west bank defense line of Mandalay, because across an Inouaddy River, the reinforcements and supplies of the two places can only cross the river through the Ava Bridge in Mandalay, and then turn back, once the airborne brigade and the independent predator regiment suddenly attack and occupy the two places, the 200-kilometer long distance, the island army is simply helpless, and even the entire west bank defense line will be accelerated by the airborne brigade behind them to form a two-sided attack situation.

Moreover, there is one of the biggest advantages of this, the airborne brigade unexpectedly landed in Ringanqiang, and the surprise attack did not require artillery support throughout the whole process, so as to preserve the integrity of the entire oil city of Ringanqiang.

The expeditionary force is equipped with a navy, air force, and armored forces, and its fuel consumption is amazing, and it is many times stronger to have an oil field of its own than to count on British and Mi aid.

Obviously, Jiang Haoran's two changes suddenly made the entire battle plan more operational, and the panic caused to the enemy in Mandalay was indescribable, which invisibly reduced the pressure on the frontal troops, and naturally reduced casualties.

After Liu Xianwei and Williams left, Huang Jie hurriedly called Chen Shaokuan, commander-in-chief of the Navy, to inform them of the battle plan and let them prepare for battle.

At the same time, Ye Zhaofeng was ordered to step up the arrangement of transport planes and fly the independent group of Marauders to Chittagong by air early tomorrow morning.

There is no problem with the transportation of an independent regiment of more than 3,000 people, but the airborne division of 8,000 people is a headache.

The transport planes used by the expeditionary force at present are generally C-47 transport planes of the Mi Army, which have the title of "air trains", and can carry 278 fully armed airborne troops in one sortie. But 8,000 is not a small number, meaning it would take 300 sorties to do it.

When Jiang Haoran took office, the United States put 1,000 transport planes into the Chinese battlefield at one time at his suggestion, but the opening of the Hump route and its extremely dangerous voyage caused at least half of the transport planes to crash in the ridges and canyons.
