Ten minutes later, the rout army entered a forest before stopping, and Yao Menglin hurriedly counted the battle damage.

Although the enemy used armor-piercing shells, in the end it was an unconventional large-caliber giant cannon, and the casualties were still staggering, with only more than 2,000 of the more than 6,000 soldiers intact, plus less than 3,000 wounded soldiers, and the casualty rate was more than half.

More than 70 of the 120 tanks and armored vehicles remained, and less than 40 percent of the nearly 100 helicopters remained, and the casualties were heavy.

In view of the heavy casualties of the troops, the battle situation was no longer in the original trajectory, and even if Zhu Yuanjin's second echelon came up, the attack was no longer realistic, Yao Menglin urgently reported to the front enemy command and asked for tactical guidance.

But in this situation, Dai Anlan, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, could not make the decision, so he could only continue to report.

Yao Menglin's message soon reached Jiang Haoran's hands.

Jiang Haoran didn't say a word for at least three minutes with the message, his face was hideous and terrifying, and his eyes seemed to be able to emit fire, he hadn't suffered such a defeat for a long time, and he had lost two games in a row, which made him really a little difficult to accept.

The atmosphere in the headquarters became extremely solemn because of Jiang Haoran's expression, and everyone didn't even dare to come out.

"Ahem!"

For a long time, Yang Honglie coughed dryly twice, as if he had mustered up his courage, and said: "General seat, it is no longer suitable for a strong attack in front of you, give up, the island army will withdraw from Singapore in a few days, our strategic purpose has been achieved, in fact, we have already won." ”

"Fart, give up? I have never had these two words in Jiang Haoran's dictionary, and besides, watching them swagger away from under our noses, how can we be worthy of the more than 3,000 brothers who died on the Straits of Johor? Jiang Haoran waved the message in his hand and was furious.

"But the head ......" Lin Long stepped forward, she knew that Jiang Haoran was a little irrational at this time, Yang Honglie was right, they no longer had the conditions to compete head-on with the island army, and she was the only one who could stop Jiang Haoran at this time, "There are three divisions on the island army in Singapore, not counting the puppet army on the island, the artillery is all shore-based giant artillery, and there is strong support from the aviation and navy, and it is necessary to hold a fifty-kilometer defense line......"

"I don't need you to teach me how to fight." Jiang Haoran unceremoniously interrupted Lin Long and walked to the combat sand table without saying a word.

Yang Honglie and Lin Long glanced at each other, and both shook their heads helplessly, Jiang Haoran has always been domineering, I'm afraid it will be difficult to listen to them, so I can only follow and see how he is going to fight this battle that they don't think at all.

It is not unreasonable for them to think so, the aircraft carrier is still blocked at a distance of 500 kilometers, and the most important land forces are not fully prepared.

Although there are the Snow Wolf Special Operations Team and the Third Marine Division in the front, and there are two divisions in the rear, 214 and 215, they may not even reach half of the island army.

The troops are stretched thin, and the logistics are also seriously insufficient; the roads on the hundreds of highways from Penang to Singapore have been damaged many times by their own air forces and island troops, and in the short term, they cannot be unimpeded at all, and the artillery fire needed to attack the fortified positions has fallen far behind.

Even helicopters, because of the lack of fuel, may not be able to exert maximum attack force, and tanks and armored vehicles, due to the destruction of the Johor embankment, have become useless.

How can such troops and firepower compete with the enemy?

On the combat sand table, because of the many reconnaissance conducted by the air force a few days ago, the enemy's defensive deployment has been roughly reflected on the sand table, and a three-dimensional defense line spread out along the Johor Strait is impressive.

From the topography estimate, the key defense area of the island army must be the Johor embankment in the middle, because the water surface here is the narrowest, even if the embankment has been destroyed, but the cornerstone is still there, it will be the preferred landing ground in the entire strait.

With the Johor Strait causeway as the central axis, the eastern beach is relatively flat, and the rear is the material hoarding place and port of the island army, which must also be an important defense area for the island army.

The west side, theoretically speaking, the west should be the object of the island army's heavy protection, after all, it is the first stop that the Chinese navy arrives, but due to the implementation of the island army's mine tactics, the threat on this side is the smallest, and the west is full of shrubs and swamps, which is not suitable for landing, so this should be the weakest area of the island army.

After looking at it for a long time, Jiang Haoran finally spoke, and said, "Order the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team to fly to the front line overnight and join Yao Menglin's department." ”

After the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team completed its mission, it has been cooperating with Liu Qiaoshou in Penang to eliminate the remnants of the island army and the lurking personnel in the city.

Jiang Haoran continued: "Order Zhu Yuan's troops to advance to the east immediately, the 214th and 215th Divisions to speed up the march, the 214th Division to the east with Zhu Yuanjin, the position of the 215th Division is in front of the Johor embankment, and all the troops are lined up in an offensive formation. Dai Anlan was ordered to keep up with the logistics at all costs, especially rubber boats, assault boats, and other beach-grabbing vessels to be fully prepared, and if necessary, all the air forces were dispatched by him tonight to carry out airdrops. ”

As soon as these orders were given, everyone in the command headquarters was shocked, and the idiots could see that Jiang Haoran was going to attack forcibly, Yang Honglie was particularly nervous, and immediately exclaimed: "No...... The main seat, the east is close to the sea, although the aircraft carrier fleet of the island army is still far away in the Riau Islands, but there are not a few cruisers, destroyers and even battleships, once we choose to attack from here, we don't need Singapore's shore-based artillery fire, they can directly reimburse our two divisions? ”

Jiang Haoran said with a cold face: "Do you think that our eight aircraft carriers and more than 500 carrier-based aircraft (most of the two aircraft carriers of the task force are equipped with helicopters, so they are not among them) are-eaters, so you can let them come?" ”

Yang Honglie became even more nervous, and he almost cried, it is true that they have more than 500 carrier-based planes, but they are still more than 500 kilometers away, and they are not within the optimal combat radius, especially the fighters, I am afraid that the time they participate in the air battle cannot exceed 10 minutes before they have to return, otherwise there will be a danger of running out of fuel and crashing, but the enemy's attack time can be extended to at least half an hour.

Even if we exclude the superiority of the island army's air force over the Chinese air force's better technology, they can withstand the entire attack strength of the Chinese army with more than 200 planes, and the number of planes that the island army can participate in the war is far more than that, because of the existence of secret airfields, it is entirely possible to even tie or even surpass them in terms of numbers, so the idea of relying too much on the air force to suppress the island army and navy is really a bit absurd, and if it is not done well, the army and air force will all be involved.

With such a simple truth, why can't Jiang Haoran, who has always been shrewd, understand it?
