Chapter 276: Civil Strife
Clashes on the Palau line continued until noon, and after heavy firepower was replenished, the 756th Brigade regained the initiative.
However, they also did not have the ability to capture Jingdong in one fell swoop, after all, the complexity of urban warfare is exponentially higher than that of positional warfare.
When the chips were in hand, he would accept them when he saw them, and He Bangxiong made the decision that was most in line with his current interests.
And this decision actually coincides with Chen Shen's choice.
The gunfire gradually stopped, the Dongfeng Corps withdrew from the front line, and when He Bangxiong saw that he was holding HK416 and his face was relaxed, he could hardly hold back.
"Dude! Good thing you came back in time! Brother, these soldiers are about to be defeated! โ
Hearing his words, Chen Shen shook his head helplessly and replied:
"Your fighting power is really really. Enough is enough. โ
"It's a good thing we didn't go as planned, if we delay for another hour, your defense line will really collapse."
"What the hell, although there aren't many of them, they won't fight so badly, right? Can't hold on for 5 hours? โ
Chen Shen's voice fell, and He Bangxiong was also ashamed.
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer Chen Shen's question.
You say complain, the Dongfeng Corps fought a battle that was much more difficult, and it took several hours to run a long distance, break through the enemy's heavy defenses, break up the formation of the opponent's two regiments, and then successfully withdrew back and helped himself hold the defensive line.
In addition to the relatively large consumption of equipment in the whole process, there were even less than 10 casualties, not to mention this kind of record in Pubei, even if it is placed in the world, it can be called rare.
In contrast, he just fought a positional battle with Lao Burma, and in the end, not only did he not form a suppression, but he was almost taken away by a counter-charge to take his position.
Well, don't complain, let's talk about the practical difficulties.
Insufficient manpower, insufficient equipment, insufficient heavy firepower .
But the problem is that there is no body armor in Lao Myanmar on the other side!
With more than 1,000 people, the heavy body armor equipment rate is almost 100%, and in this case, they are still being beaten by the opponent's unarmored and lightly armored infantry?
Not equipped enough? What else do you need to be equipped to be enough? Would I like to send you a few more tanks?
I really can't answer.
Fortunately, I didn't show any "distrust" before, otherwise now, wouldn't that be equivalent to giving myself a mouthful?
He Bangxiong was silent for a long time, and finally spoke:
"Brother, our combat effectiveness is indeed almost there."
"The main reason is that the morale of the army is not aligned and the will to fight is not strong."
"Even though they were wearing body armor, these soldiers were still afraid of bullets and didn't dare to shoot."
"When there was a problem in one position, and after a vacancy in firepower, the whole front collapsed."
"You look like more than 1,000 people are fighting more than 2,000 people on the opposite side, but in fact, it's just more than 200 of my private soldiers fighting on the opposite side, and it's good if the others don't make trouble."
"Fortunately, the 7th Brigade is also attacking simultaneously, distracting the attention of the Burmese army and making them confused about the situation."
"Otherwise, if they concentrate on Palau, I don't think we can hold it for four hours, and we won't be able to hold it for two hours."
"To tell you the truth, we were really cowardly this time, if you hadn't led the team back to defend the line and beat them back, I guess in the future, even if you want to maintain a stalemate, it will be difficult."
He Bangxiong's words were very sincere, and Chen Shen also thought so.
He himself really overestimated the battle of the 756 Brigade, thinking that even if some veterans and heavy equipment were transferred, relying on the layout of the Palau defense line in the early stage, it would be no problem to fight a stalemate.
But it turned out to slap him in the face and teach him a hard lesson.
Just because you can easily kill the enemy doesn't mean that the enemy is weak and your own is strong.
It's only the Dongfeng Corps that is strong, and any other civilian land armed forces in Pubei are still rookies pecking at each other!
Thinking of this, Chen Shen nodded slightly, half relieved and half flattering:
"It's okay, it's survived."
"After this battle, we can be regarded as having a bottom of the strength of our team, and we will know it in our hearts when we deploy operations in the future."
"Moreover, our operation is still very successful, you should have also received a report, the 505 Brigade airfield camp is basically finished, the first and second regiments are scattered, and in a short time, it will be impossible for them to organize an effective attack."
"This is good news, our strategic choice space has risen significantly, and then whether we go to fight Daqi or concentrate on dealing with Jingdong's Burmese army, the initiative is ours!"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, He Bangxiong straightened up excitedly, and then said:
"The situation is completely clear, this battle has shown our momentum, and after that, the whole of Southern Shan State will fall to us."
"I've started contacting other brigades and they'll be back soon."
"At the same time, I just confirmed with He Bupa that Mengxiu's attack has come to an end, and they have suffered a lot of losses, but they still stabilized Mengxiu's defense line after all."
"So fast?"
Chen Shen looked at He Bangxiong in surprise and asked in disbelief.
"That's right, it took 4 hours."
"The strategy is to follow the strategy you formulated before, brother, heavy artillery bombardment, and private soldiers to form elite troops to raid."
"The layout of the camp of the Burmese army has been thoroughly explored, and they basically did not waste much strength in attacking, but the defensive battle was very fierce, and more than 100 people died in a team of more than 700 people."
In fact, in Chen Shen's opinion, this number is not enough to be "tragic", but after thinking about it, in Pubei, it can be regarded as a certain degree of "big casualties".
The Seventh Brigade was able to withstand such casualties, and in a sense, their combat effectiveness was indeed good.
Three battlefields, in full bloom.
The situation can be said to be better than ever, and if nothing else, all the armed forces of the entire Shan State will soon fall to the coalition forces.
And once a "broader alliance" is formed, what chance will the Burmese army here, and the 505th Brigade of the Burmese army, have to resist?
Chen Shen's heartstrings, which had been tense all night, finally loosened, and at this moment, he felt tired and relieved.
What is exhausting is that the high-intensity command really consumes more energy and brain power than directly participating in the battle, and after this night, he even felt more tired than he had been in the Kokang left and right rush for half a month before.
To his relief, this battle verified the future combat mode of the Dongfeng Corps.
Three-dimensional reconnaissance, multi-arm coordination, high-mobility operations, and heavy firepower to win
With this set of combination punches in hand, who dares not to obey in the whole Pubei?
What's more, this set of combination punches can only be fought by the Dongfeng Corps!
This is a unique advantage, and it is also the "ultimate weapon" that cannot be taken away by others.
With it, the Dongfeng Corps is safe at all times!
Thinking of this, Chen Shen let out a long sigh of relief.
Then he spoke:
"We're just fighting the first battle now, and then the skirmishes will become more and more intense, and the 505 Brigade will not rest on its laurels."
"Get ready, we have lit the fuse, and the whole Pubei is going to explode."
"Stop moving, fighting, and let the gunpowder explode on its own."
"Hide it, and when it's over, we'll go out and clean up the mess."
"Understood!"
At the same time, Monka.
The jackal sat in the combat command room of Chesri, looked at the latest battle report, and said with emotion to the intelligence officer in front of him:
You really never think of what the Dongfeng Corps can do, and you can't think of what the sunken ship can do."
"I originally thought that he left Mengka to lead the team to attack the Mengxiu Burmese army, and his helicopter also flew there, but I didn't expect that he actually went to Palau and went to Tachili!"
"You said he would go to Palau, how could a normal person come up with a plan to take a few hundred people to fight Daqili?"
"Stabilizing Palau's defensive line, surviving the first round of the 505 Brigade's attack, making a balance of power, and then using the chips of both sides to negotiate with the Burmese army, this is already the best solution I can think of."
"But he didn't even want that outcome. From the beginning to the end, he probably didn't think about compromising with the Burmese side. โ
"He really plans to kill all the Burmese troops in Shan State, and he really has the ability!"
"It's terrifying, all I can say is that it's good that we're not his enemies."
Hearing the jackal's words, the intelligence officer nodded approvingly, and then said:
"This blitzkrieg can definitely be written in the textbook, with limited resources, insufficient intelligence, and ridiculously poor organization, choose the simplest and most direct plan with the highest fault tolerance to deal with."
"If people can't do it, don't engage in complex tactics, so as not to affect the implementation effect; If the intelligence is insufficient, it will not set complex goals, and the elimination of the establishment will be the benchmark; Equipment is not good. Just use civilian equipment to change. โ
"In fact, the core of their operation this time is still those thousands of rockets, and it is estimated that the entire Pubei did not expect that they could hide these weapons so deadly."
"That's where the wreck comes in."
The jackal sighed and continued:
"Have you forgotten what happened before? Before the start of transporting rockets and starting to renovate, the shipwreck knocked Wanfeng Group to the bottom and the entire Shan State to a bloody storm. โ
"Everyone's eyes were attracted, and everyone felt that they would definitely continue to make a fuss along this route, and the focus was all on Wanfeng Group, but they ignored Huamei Commercial Bank, which was engaged in imports at Mengla Port."
"To be honest, even I was deceived by him - I thought they really got another batch of body armor in, who knows that it wasn't body armor, it was rockets."
"They have a saying over there, just for a mouthful of vinegar dumplings, I am a little suspicious now, Wanfeng Group is just a dumpling wrapped in a sunken ship."
Jackal's words made the intelligence officer in front of him laugh, and from his point of view, this proverb was indeed funnier than all the pun jokes that Jackal had said before.
However, after laughing, his expression became serious again.
He opened his mouth and said:
"Then again, at this point, we can't stay out of it."
"The 505th Brigade will fall, and the investment in the country, especially the Pa Mang Battalion, has all been leveled, which is a very heavy blow."
"The strength of the other, I think. I'm afraid I'm going to live. โ
Jackal frowned and nodded, and replied:
"That's my judgment, too."
"In that case, we should move too."
"Report to the company and get ready to get involved."
"There's never been a better time to show our loyalty, and we can't afford to miss it."
"Understood. How to fight? โ
The intelligence officer straightened up, waiting for the jackal's answer.
The jackal hesitated for a few seconds before decisively speaking:
"I don't know how to fight, contact me about the wreck and ask him to go."
"Ask him what he needs help with and you say. No matter who the Dongfeng Corps wants to fight, we in Chesli will definitely help the field! โ
On the other hand, the power of the great one.
Zhao Jialiang stood in the room with a heavy face, and the adjutant on the side was trembling, and even his voice was a little trembling to report the battle damage to him.
"The 1st and 2nd regiments identified 470 casualties, of which 210 were killed and 260 were seriously wounded."
"The number of minor injuries has not yet been counted, and it is conservatively estimated at around 500."
"Compared to the damage to the personnel, the loss of equipment was more serious, the entire camp was almost completely destroyed, the fire was so big that we couldn't put out the fire at all."
"All the ammunition stored in the camp has been lost, and the equipment damage is quite serious, and we haven't had time to count it, but the situation is not optimistic."
"In addition, the head of the regiment has been seriously injured and has been sent to the hospital for treatment, and his condition is basically stable."
"We've regrouped the scattered teams, but."
The adjutant did not continue, because he knew that all the news mentioned earlier was foreshadowing, and what really mattered was the content behind this "but".
However, it is no longer possible for these two combat regiments to have combat effectiveness.
The middle and lower-level commanders suffered too many losses, and the morale of the troops was too badly damaged.
These soldiers have been demoted from soldiers to "routs".
Want to let the rout fight? Aren't you dreaming?
Therefore, these two combat regiments are actually gone.
People didn't die much, but the establishment.
It's gone.
Thinking of this, the adjutant secretly raised his head to look at Zhao Jialiang, and the other party's cold eyes instantly frightened him.
I also said before that the Dongfeng Corps only had one or two hundred rockets at most, but now
He lowered his head again, ready to meet the storm of Zhao Jialiang.
But unexpectedly, the other party did not speak for a long time.
When the adjutant couldn't bear his waist and looked at him again, he found that Zhao Jialiang had already sat back on the sofa.
The latter silently beckoned to the adjutant and motioned for him to come over and sit down.
Then, Zhao Jialiang spoke:
"No one is to blame for this."
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and we can't dare to fight just because we are defeated this time."
"Now, we still have the advantage of troops and equipment-โโ according to the latest intelligence, Jing Dong's Burmese army almost took the Palau defense line."
"As long as you hold off their reinforcements for a few minutes, the result may not be the same."
"That's why I tried to hold them back, but you don't believe me"
The words fell, and a rare disrespectful thought arose in the adjutant's heart.
Aren't you an afterthought?
Of course, he couldn't say this, he just opened his mouth and said:
"It really should be pursued, but the situation at that time was too complicated, and the regiment commander on the front line couldn't be blamed."
"So I don't blame them."
Zhao Jialiang sighed, his eyes lit up, and he continued:
"But, such a thing must not happen again."
"If anyone doesn't listen to orders, I"
"Jingle bellโ"
The ringing of the phone on the table interrupted Zhao Jialiang's words, and he gave the adjutant a look, who picked up the phone.
And soon, the adjutant's expression became extremely solemn.
โโ
It can even be said that it is pain.
He handed the phone receiver to Zhao Jialiang, and the moment the other party took the receiver, his hand touched the pistol on his waist.
But Zhao Jialiang's movements are faster than him.
The fruit knife on the table appeared in his hand at some point and plunged into the adjutant's throat.
At this time, the man on the phone continued to talk, completely unaware of the anomaly here.
"Commander, we really can't wait any longer."
"We must negotiate with the other brigades immediately and bring them to our side."
"The impact of this defeat is too great, we"
"He's dead, stop acting."
Zhao Jialiang spoke coldly, interrupting the words of the man opposite.
There was silence in the earpiece, and after a long time, the man continued:
"Then I won't act."
"Zhao Jialiang, you are not worthy of being the commander of the 505 Brigade."
"We're the opposite."
"There's no future with you."
"You hold the stinky feet of the Phra Mang camp every day, thinking they can really give you any good?"
"Lao Tzu has long wanted to say, against the north, how many lives do you have?"
"You are willing to fight, Lao Tzu is not!"
"Tell you, I'll stop doing it, wait for you to die!"
With a snap, the phone hung up.
And outside the window, the gunshots of Dachili have already sounded again.
