Chapter 395: The Enemy Is Too Weak
The coalition forces in the direction of Tachili had begun to move on a large scale, but in fact, Chen Shen had no intention of relying on this team at all.
It's not because he thinks that he can lift Lin Mingxian's Mengla army up and fight with hundreds of militiamen and a few tanks and armored vehicles, but on the contrary, because he knows that the Mengla army is not so easy to deal with, so he must seize the fleeting opportunity and quickly remove their threat.
In the combat command room, Chen Shen convened all the core members to discuss the combat operations that would be carried out.
Looking at the simple map hanging on the wall, Chen Shen said:
"The Mengla Army is stationed in Nanban is their 911th Division, although it is said to be a division, claiming to have 2,000 people in service, but in fact they only have a standing strength of about 1,000 people, and the other 1,000 people are the same as the Kokang Allied Army, which is a 'militia' that is half peasant and half soldier."
"Their weapons are mainly light weapons, to put it bluntly, rifles, light machine guns, and a small number of heavy machine guns."
"In terms of explosives, they have a small number of rocket launchers of various types, a small number of grenades, and mines."
"Generally speaking, this team is outdated in equipment, has low personnel training, and basically does not have the ability to confront us head-on."
"However, the village of Mengma, 10 kilometers away from Nansaka, is the station of the Central Independent Brigade of the Mongla Army."
"This brigade has a solid 1,000 professional soldiers, and at the same time is equipped with 4 armored vehicles, a dozen small-caliber artillery pieces, dozens of mortars, and a large number of individual rocket launchers and explosives."
"If we launch an attack on Minamisaka, within 20 minutes, the Central Independent Brigade will be able to respond and join the fight."
"According to the range of the artillery in their hands, they can set up an artillery position near the Jingdong Temple and shoot at us directly."
"The time for the artillery to deploy is less than 20 minutes."
"In other words, we only have 35 minutes at most to solve the battle on the battlefield of Minamisaka."
"We must break up and crush the enemy within 35 minutes of engaging him, and after leaving behind the defensive forces, rely on the mobility of the armored forces to quickly advance to Gyeongseji Temple, destroy the opponent's artillery positions, and establish our own mortar positions here."
"Subsequently, we need to use infantry and tan coordination tactics, with the cooperation of helicopters, to launch an all-out attack on the Central Independent Brigade in Mongla."
"Our goal is to destroy all of their armor before the other side reacts, and cut off their retreat to Mongla."
"That's what has to be done, because we can't let the fighting take place near Mongla, or Talo."
"After completing the encirclement and suppression of the Central Independent Brigade, we must quickly turn to the west and meet the 369th Division from the northwest."
"They may continue to fight, or they may surrender outright, but whatever their choice, we must completely disarm them."
"We were very pressed on time because we couldn't get the three opposing teams to come together."
"That would essentially change the regional balance of strength and weakness, and we would have to spend more time and more costs."
"So to sum up, the key to this combat mission is one word: fast."
"Everyone must obey the command, know their position, and maintain a good combat formation to ensure the efficiency of the operation."
"Remember, defeating them is not our goal."
"Defeat them in the quickest and safest way."
"It's 19 o'clock and we will officially start the operation at 24:00 and expect the battle to end by 10:00 tomorrow morning."
"Got it?"
"Understood!"
Everyone in the team answered in unison, Chen Shen nodded with satisfaction, and did not say much, but immediately announced the disbandment, let the team leaders return, and make final preparations.
At this time, the Li Gang had completed another shower and disinfection, and after confirming that they were not affected, they also returned to the team smoothly.
Standing beside Chen Shen, Li Bang rubbed his palms that had been blistered white with some impatience, and then said:
"This operation was a bit too hasty. We didn't have time to conduct any detailed reconnaissance, all the information was ready-made information that we had before, and we didn't even know the specific layout of the other side's forces. ”
"Could this be a problem? What if they are already prepared in advance and are waiting for us to take the initiative to attack? ”
Hearing his words, Chen Shen shook his head and replied:
"It doesn't matter."
"The battlefield is not static, and even the process of reconnaissance, fighting, and finishing is not static."
"The strength of the Mengla army is too weak, unlike Daqili, they don't even have dangerous terrain and vast depth."
"Even, the number of body armor of the 5,000 soldiers they claim does not exceed 200."
"In this case, if we still go through the whole process step by step, that is the real delay."
"You know, Kachin is watching us, and the CIA is watching us."
"If they had given more time, maybe they would have actually picked up anti-tank missiles in the bushes."
"It's best to hit it all at once, you have to learn to improvise."
"Understood."
Li Bang nodded solemnly, and then continued to ask:
"What about Lin Mingxian? Shall we organize a decapitation operation at the same time? ”
"Not at the moment."
Chen Shen shook his head again.
"Lin Mingxian is not Peng Jiasheng, let alone Bao Youxiang."
"There is no 'historical' aspect of his authority, and although I would love to take him out, in fact, whether he dies or not does not affect the overall situation."
"As long as the main force of the Mengla army is defeated, everything is over."
"As for whether we want to search for Lin Mingxian after we occupy Mongla. That was after that, and there is no need to think about it now. ”
"Alright, let's go out and get ready."
"This time, you're in charge of commanding four infantry groups."
"Don't let me down!"
"Understood!"
Li Bang replied loudly and turned to leave.
At this time, in the base of the Dongfeng Corps, all the pre-war preparations had been carried out rapidly.
4 tanks and 4 armored vehicles lined up, in addition to the Dongfeng Corps' own vehicles, two SH-3s belonging to the coalition forces had also arrived, and the mechanics were filling the fuel tanks;
The wings of the Mi-171SH began to rotate, the rocket nest was already filled with rockets, and the machine gun chain was fully pressed;
The AH-2 is hooked up to the truck, and after arriving at the predetermined position, it can quickly unhook and complete the deployment;
As for the other "light equipment", they have been lined up in an open field, waiting to be loaded.
Two M56 mountain grenades of 105mm caliber, 4 107mm rocket launchers, 12 rain-enhancing rocket launchers, 6 60 guns, 1 120 force guns.
Most of these equipment, which were originally considered quite "advanced" by the Dongfeng Corps, can no longer be used by the Dongfeng Corps themselves.
It's not because it's not worth it, but because it's too understaffed.
He Bupa will personally lead his own soldiers to operate these weapons and provide the necessary intermediate fire support for the Dongfeng Corps.
Finally, there are infantry wearing heavy body armor and armed with advanced sights.
This team is placed in Pubei, and there is only one word to describe it.
That is, luxury.
What kind of enemy can withstand the full force of this team?
Chen Shen didn't know, and Lin Mingxian wouldn't know, or rather, he actually didn't have time to think about it.
Because, at this time, in order to boost the morale of his subordinates, he had personally rushed to the vicinity of Nansaka.
Together with the grassroots militiamen, under the slightly hot evening breeze, he was carrying a hoe on his back with a rifled bar, waving a hoe, hoe by hoe
