Chapter 781: The Sheep Enters the Tiger's Mouth

"It's more than 9,000 people, not 6,000!" In the face of everyone's doubts, Jiang Haoran reiterated.

But even if Jiang Haoran emphasized that the voices of disapproval in the command were still the mainstream, Huang Jie immediately said: "Okay, even if it is more than 9,000 people, they have to face an entire elite division of the Japanese army, and the minimum strength is more than 30,000, and you have said that the 18th division of the Japanese army is by no means a general, it is a well-known wolf army, especially good at jungle warfare, it is difficult to say whether these more than 9,000 people are in the mouth of a tiger?" ”

"Yes, Boss, you have to think carefully about this." Leng Rushuang also stepped forward and said, the special operations division and the special combat team are Jiang Haoran's heart, Su Canwen is still uncertain about life and death in the jungle of Liangmiao River, she doesn't want Jiang Haoran to put the airborne brigade in danger again, especially since she also regards Liu Xianwei as a candidate for her brother-in-law, she doesn't want this unit to suffer any more damage, both public and private.

"Who is the sheep and who is the tiger is not yet known, you don't have to worry, since I have made this decision, I have a certain certainty, come, come and take a look 616161616161"

Jiang Haoran picked up the command pole as he spoke, and practiced while talking on the combat sand table.

The Wanhe River is only seventy or eighty miles from Yingduo to Geng, and in terms of road conditions, the airborne brigade and the 18th Division of the Japanese army are almost the same, and the speed should be similar. According to the guide's description, it takes five days to walk 230 miles from Xidang to Khomarin, and at most more than 40 miles a day, and if we count from the time when the Japanese army launched the attack, the Japanese army will only walk for two days, and it will be able to walk more than 80 miles at most in two days, and the forward troops will now reach the position of the first crossing of the river at most, and there is still a distance of more than 100 miles before the second crossing of the river. In other words, the Japanese army could not reach the place where they crossed the river for the second time in two days.

However, the airborne brigade began to set off in the second half of the night, and the 80-mile area could reach its destination in the morning of the day after tomorrow; if the Japanese troops did not arrive, it would be better to set up an ambush directly by the river, take the Japanese army by surprise, and then use the superior weapons and opportunities in their hands to occupy favorable terrain and block the enemy on the opposite bank. In the jungle area, it is not easy to deploy a large army, and the Japanese army will definitely not carry heavy artillery if it advances lightly, and with a force of 9,000 people, it can definitely entangle with the Japanese army for a period of time.

If the Japanese army has already arrived, then it can only launch a decisive attack, first blow up the pontoon bridge built by the Japanese army, cut them off from the waist, gather all the firepower, block the front and intercept the back, eat the Japanese forward troops as soon as possible, and then continue to blockade.

Jiang Haoran's tactics are not complicated, in this way, everyone basically understands, the scene nodded silently, and the people who agreed began to account for the vast majority, but Huang Jie still frowned deeply, and said: "General seat, I don't deny that this tactic does have room for operation, but all this is based on whether the Japanese army is as we think, and the speed will not exceed the distance we imagined, but if the Japanese army did not set off two days ago, or their advance speed exceeded our imagination, when the airborne brigade arrives, Half or more of their troops have already crossed the Wanjiang River, and these 9,000 men are facing the same or even more than their multiple of the Japanese army, so we have no troops to save them, but we have thrown them into the tiger's mouth alive. ”

This question is more acute, Jiang Haoran was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "This should not be, first, the Japanese army is also racing against time now, once the reinforcements arrive, they will definitely attack, and if the attack is not used to shorten the distance between the two armies, the enemy cannot be sure that we will not arrange spies in front of their defense line, and if we discover their purpose in advance, he has already lost the opportunity." Therefore, when the 18th Division set out, it must have been after the 2nd Division's attack. Second, the road in the jungle, according to the guide's description, it is absolutely impossible to drive into a car or armored car, and even the cavalry is difficult to enter, so it is impossible for them to cross the river with half of their troops in terms of speed, at most, they have just finished building a pontoon bridge, and a small number of sharp soldiers have crossed the river, and it is absolutely impossible to exceed the level of the wing. ”

Seeing that Jiang Haoran was full of confidence, Huang Jie no longer insisted, in fact, Jiang Haoran's style has always been arbitrary, and his persistence actually has no effect, at most it can only achieve the effect of reminding, but he still did not forget to ask Jiang Haoran, who are he going to send to block the 3,000 strange soldiers used to block in the direction of Huo Marin? The British army can't do it, 3,000 people go in, and when they see the powerful Japanese army, it's already good if they don't scatter, and don't drag down the airborne brigade when the time comes.

Jiang Haoran smiled and said the mystery, he was really ready to use the British army, but these three thousand people had just arrived from India, and at this moment they had arrived in the John 61 Williams Guard Regiment in Homarin, the combat effectiveness of this army Jiang Haoran had seen it, the fighting will and fighting style were absolutely strong, compared to the Japanese army, the gap would not be big, maybe they would lack jungle combat experience, but this was not terrible, Jiang Haoran was also ready to send Liu Bao to bring the remaining snow wolf special combat team to help them.

The white-knuckle battle in India completely convinced the British army, which had always looked down on Chinese soldiers, and to a large extent they would follow Liu Bao's advice and cooperate with the airborne brigade to complete this arduous task.

Next, there was no objection, Huang Jie led the staff officers to step up the formulation of the combat plan and complete all the operational deployments before Liu Xianwei's arrival.

Two hours later, Liu Xianwei appeared at the headquarters on time with the smell of gunsmoke, and immediately, Liu Bao was also called in.

The battle situation is like fire, without too many words, go straight to the point, Chief of Staff Huang Jie issued a battle plan to them, Jiang Haoran did not forget to remind them of various unpredictable factors that may occur in the battle, especially when passing through the Wild Elephant Valley, it is best to use the night time to pass, the animals are afraid of strong light, bring more flares, use strong light to drive them away, try not to use weapons, beware of exposing the target in advance, it will bring them some unnecessary difficulties in the later battles.

Liu Xianwei and Liu Bao are both nervous figures, and they did not raise any questions about the thousands of people dealing with a division of the Japanese army, and after understanding the entire battle plan, the two simply took the order and left.

Two guides were already waiting outside, one followed Liu Xianwei and them from Yingduo through dozens of miles of jungle to Wanjiang, and the other followed Liu Bao's snow wolf special combat team to take a helicopter to Homalin.

At this point, all the troops in Jiang Haoran's hands were scattered, the second line of defense in the direction of Xidang was withdrawn, the 22nd Division was also sent to the front, and even the Snow Wolf Special Operations Team was also dispatched, except for a small detachment forcibly left by Liu Bao, and the Yellow Forest that had not yet had time to be rebuilt. Even the British division, which had been used as a reserve, had to be transferred back to Homarin again. If any situation occurs, Jiang Haoran will have no troops in his hands.
