Chapter 770: The Philippine Army is about to increase its troops
γBroadcastγPay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
Michael Summer, the commander of the 7th Division of the Philippine Army, heard the sound of artillery coming from the eastern city of Laoag, and knew that the situation was not good, and at the same time secretly cursed the Philippine Air Force in his heart, bombing the urban area of Laoag for so long, and dispatching nearly 100 fighter sorties.
Although Narhuacan Air Base could not send fighter jets to support the 7th Division because of the lack of fuel, San Carlos Air Base, which will send fighter jets to provide air support to Laoag tomorrow, could still ask for help, so Michael immediately called San Carlos Air Base after the large-caliber howitzers of Huaxing launched an artillery bombardment of the eastern city of Laoag, and asked San Carlos Air Base to send fighter jets to bombard the large-caliber artillery that appeared in Huaxing City in Laoag.
However, what made Michael very depressed was that the person in charge of the San Carlos Air Force Base reluctantly told Michael that because the San Carlos Air Force Base had just received a combat mission, it would take time to prepare, and it would be early tomorrow morning at the earliest to dispatch 2 F-5E fighters to support the 7th Division, and now the 7th Division could only ask for more blessings.
Michael didn't drop the phone, a Philippine Air Force air base of no small size, after receiving a combat mission, it took more than ten hours to prepare, and it took a lot of effort to dispatch two third-generation fighters, you must know that there are eight F-5E fighters at San Carlos Air Force Base. If a war really breaks out, where will there be time for the Philippine Air Force to grind so much.
After Michael completely gave up on the idea of sending fighter jets to the Philippine Air Force to support him. Immediately let the 1st Brigade prepare to transfer a part of its troops to the Dongcheng district of Laoag to support the troops of the 2nd Brigade. However, the support force of the 1st Brigade has not yet been mobilized, and Michael received a report from the 2nd Brigade that the area originally occupied by the eastern city of Laoag has been lost, and the 2nd Brigade has only more than 1,000 people left in the entire east of Laoag. Wait for reinforcements.
The commander of the 7th Division, Michael, had a gloomy face, looked down at the watch on his wrist, and then said to the commander of the 1st Brigade, Enteleji, with a gloomy face: "Yopes, this waste, in less than 20 minutes, all the streets occupied in Dongcheng District have been lost, and this waste has directly led the troops to prepare to retreat 10 kilometers, which is frightened by the Huaxing Society!" "Yopes was the commander of the 7th Brigade of the 2nd Division.
The commander of the 1st Brigade, Enteleji, smiled bitterly, not only that Yopes was frightened, but he Enteleji was almost stupid by the combat power of the Huaxing Society. And don't look at the division commander Michael scolding Yopez here, in fact, Michael was not frightened enough by the combat effectiveness shown by Huaxing.
According to the commander of the 2nd Brigade, Yopes, a group of Huaxing members wearing black military uniforms just after the large-caliber artillery of the Huaxing Society stopped attacking. Immediately launched an attack from the south of Dongcheng District against the troops of their 2nd Brigade.
What is shocking is that these members of the Huaxing Association wearing black military uniforms are simply a group of special forces with super combat effectiveness, and their marksmanship is very accurate. In the fierce battle, the officers and men of the 2nd Brigade had just formed a defensive position relying on some ruins, and the officers and men of the 2nd Brigade above the defensive position were shot in the head. Most of them have not even seen the enemy.
And the 8 infantry fighting vehicles left by the 2nd Brigade in Dongcheng District basically did not play a role. They were hit by missiles one after another and turned into a pile of scrap metal.
It was the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Brigade who fired at these members of the Huaxing Association wearing black uniforms, as long as any part of the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Brigade were exposed, they would be immediately hit by bullets, and how could the officers and men of the 2nd Brigade continue to play!
If there is a sudden encounter face-to-face, the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Brigade will be even more miserable, and they will have no power to fight back, and these members of the Huaxing Association in black military uniforms are like a ruthless killing machine, basically one action can solve the Philippine officers and soldiers in front of them.
With such a strong combat power, is it really just a gang member? If this is a gang member, what are these regular troops of the Philippines?
Ntreji hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then the 1st battalion drawn from our 1st Brigade is still used to support the 2nd Brigade east of Rawag?" β
Michael sighed and said, "Now that the streets occupied by Dongcheng District have been lost, what's the use of supporting?" And looking at the posture of Huaxinghui, those streets occupied by our southern and northern urban districts will not be able to hold tonight! Bastards, those bastards of the Air Force, if they hadn't destroyed all the large-caliber artillery of the Huaxing Society in the afternoon, how could the 2nd Brigade occupy those streets in Dongcheng District be thrown away so quickly! β
Then Michael hesitated for a moment and said: "This way, Nteleji, the troops of your 1st Brigade in Nancheng District should withdraw quickly, and then the division headquarters and the 1st Brigade will also temporarily withdraw 10 kilometers back, and at the same time order the troops of the 2nd Brigade in Beicheng District to also immediately withdraw from Beicheng District, and also retreat 10 kilometers back, alas, minimize the losses of our 7th Division!" β
The retreat order issued by the commander of the 7th Division, Michael, was quite timely, and as soon as the troops of the 7th Division in the southern and northern districts of Rawag had withdrawn from the urban areas, the large-caliber artillery of the Huaxinghui fell in the areas originally occupied by the troops of the 7th Division in the southern and northern urban areas.
This is Lin Daxin's discovery through radar that the Philippine Air Force did not send fighter jets to approach the sky above the city of Laoag, so he immediately ordered the rookie gunners who were hiding to immediately return to the artillery positions in Xicheng District, turn the muzzles, and at the same time launch artillery bombardment on the areas occupied by the Filipino indigenous troops in Nancheng District and Beicheng District.
The shelling did not last long, because Lin Daxin had already received a report that the enemy had fled without a fight, and then the 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the Free Corps, which had just regained Dongcheng District, sent 1 battalion each to Nancheng District and Beicheng District. Once again, the entire Laoag was in the hands of the Huaxing Society.
Lin Daxin then did not let the cyborgs of the Free Corps continue to attack the Filipino indigenous troops outside the city, but ordered the 3 infantry battalions of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division of the Free Corps. The eastern, southern, and northern districts of Laoag are guarded respectively, and they are all frontier areas. Let the Huaxing Society's seriously damaged Qinglong Regiment, White Tiger Regiment and Xuanwu Regiment guard the areas behind the three urban districts respectively.
At the same time, Lin Daxin transferred the personnel of the Huaxing Society's reserve team to supplement the losses of the Qinglong Regiment, the White Tiger Regiment and the Xuanwu Regiment in the battle, and prepared to restore the three regiments to the scale of 1,500 people.
After the troops of the Philippine 7th Division retreated 10 kilometers back, the commander of the 7th Division, Michael Earl, counted the losses and suddenly felt cold in his heart.
The divisional heavy artillery battalion of the 7th Division was completely destroyed, 32 howitzers with a caliber of 105 mm were turned into a pile of scrap metal, nearly 500 artillery officers were killed, and the divisional army aviation detachment of the 7th Division lost 2 helicopter gunships, and now only 2 other ones remain. Because Huaxing will have a large number of surface-to-air small missiles, Michael will no longer dare to send out the other two helicopter gunships, otherwise the army aviation detachment of the 7th Division will also end up with the same heavy artillery battalion as the division.
There is still one guard battalion of more than 400 people left in the troops directly under the 7th Division without any losses, and there are still more than 200 people in the miscellaneous personnel of the 7th Division, and there are no losses.
The 1st Brigade has so far lost more than 1,000 casualties, and more than 500 have been wounded and temporarily incapacitated, leaving only about 2,000 people still fighting in combat, while 9 infantry fighting vehicles assigned to the 1st Brigade have been destroyed. Now there are 7 infantry fighting vehicles left in the 1st brigade.
The 1st Brigade had enough losses, but it was good compared to the 2nd Brigade of the 7th Division, which was responsible for attacking the 2 regiments east of Laoag and the units belonging to the brigade headquarters. With a total of 2,500 men and 12 infantry fighting vehicles, more than 1,500 are now dead or missing. All 12 infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed.
The 2nd Brigade was responsible for attacking 1 regiment of about 1,000 men, plus 4 infantry fighting vehicles, in the northern city of Laoag. Now there are only more than 700 people and 2 infantry fighting vehicles left, including dozens of seriously wounded.
That's it. The strength of the 7th Division can still fight is about 4,300 people, you must know that when the 7th Division came to Laoag, it had more than 8,000 troops, and now it has nearly half of the casualties, and the number of dead and missing people is more than 3,300 people, the division commander Michael understands that with such a casualty ratio, the 7th Division has lost the possibility of continuing to fight in Huaxing in Laoag City, after all, the 7th Division is not an army with super combat effectiveness and willpower, such a large casualty ratio, Even if it is placed on any ace unit of the United States, it will not stand up.
So Michael simply called Estrada, the new president of Manila, and Sergio, the chief of staff of the Philippine Navy, Army and Air Force, and told them that it is impossible for the 7th Division to launch a ground attack on Laoag City again in a short period of time, and if you want to eliminate Huaxing in Laoag City, you should quickly send reinforcements over!
In the presidential palace in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, the new President Estrada and Sergio, the chief of the general staff of the Philippine Navy, Army and Air Force, smiled bitterly.
Dealing with a gang composed of Chinese, although this gang is already the largest underground force in the Philippines, but in the final analysis, it is still a gang, but the strength shown by Huaxing in Laoag City has simply shocked the attention of the entire Philippine military and political leadership.
The Philippine Air Force dispatched hundreds of fighter sorties, plus a light infantry division of the Philippine Army, as a result, the city of Laoag is still under the control of Huaxinghui, the Philippine Air Force lost a third fighter worth tens of millions, and the 7th Division of the Philippine Army is even worse, in a few hours, the number of killed and missing exceeded 3,300 people, and it has lost the possibility of continuing to attack Laoag City.
President Estrada said: "General Sergio, what now? Tomorrow is when San Carlos Air Base can send fighter jets to launch an air attack on the city of Laoag, and it seems that the 7th Division will not be able to launch a ground offensive either. β
Chief of the General Staff Sergio shook his head helplessly and said: "The 7th Division has lost nearly half, and the proportion of casualties is too large, and I can't ask Michael Richard, the commander of the 7th Division, to continue to launch a ground attack on Laoag City, and now I can only send an additional army unit to Laoag City to replace the 7th Division's attack on Laoag City." β
After a pause, Sergio continued: "In addition, I have urgently ordered the logistics department to deliver fuel to Narhuacan Air Base, and after 2 days, more than 20 third-generation fighters at Narhuacan Air Base can launch air strikes on Laoag City, plus San Carlos Air Base also has 8 third-generation F-5E fighters, we can use the Air Force to blow Laoag into ruins, give heavy damage to the forces of Huaxinghui, and then let the ground forces of the army recover the entire Laoag City." β
President Estrada frowned and said, "Isn't the entire city of Laoag ruined?" β
Sergio immediately said: "As long as the main force of the Huaxing Society is eliminated, the wealth we get from the entire Filipino Chinese will definitely be able to rebuild 10, if not 20, Laoag cities." β
President Estrada thought about it for a while and nodded and said: "Then do it according to General Sergio's wishes, but we must destroy the Huaxing Society forces in Laoag City as soon as possible, this time the 7th Division did not capture Laoag City, our Philippines has made all countries in the world laugh enough, and how is the army's operation in the Chinese gathering area this time?" This attack on the city of Laoag seems to cost us a lot of money, plus our losses, which must be made up for by the Chinese. β
Sergio showed a cruel smile and said: "Your Excellency the President, rest assured, I have mobilized garrisons from all over the country, first of all, to carry out a large-scale search and arrest of the Chinese gathering areas in some big cities, killing and capturing thousands of Huaxing terrorists, and at present, the cash seized from the hands of the Chinese alone has to be more than 6 billion US dollars, especially some Chinese tycoons, they are really rich, and the Chinese industries seized are even more amazingly valuable, and the preliminary estimate is more than 80 billion US dollars!" This manhunt has just begun, and as long as there is enough time, these numbers will definitely multiply several times, even a dozen times, dozens of times! β
President Estrada smiled with satisfaction when he heard that he had obtained so much money from the Chinese in a short period of time, knowing that according to the original agreement, there was one percent of him in it.
