"Nankan has been lost, and there is no point in us going to support again."

"The only thing we can do now is to fight all the way to Lao Cai and destroy all the supply lines of the Shan State Army."

"It's not enough to confront them head-on on our own, only when Bamo's defenders come over, we have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

"What we have to do is to create an opportunity for the 4th Brigade of Ba Mo to slow down the Shan State Army's offensive."

"So, there is nothing more to say, the team immediately set out, went south along the Lashio-Mujie road, went around the rear and attacked secretly, and captured Lao Cai!"

"Understood!"

In the temporary headquarters of the Kachin Army, Wu Gu, who had just arrived from the vicinity of Mudi, looked at the battle map with a frown, and quickly gave orders.

In fact, he was not unprepared for the "fall" of Nankan, on the contrary, he was ready to give up Nankan as soon as he arrived at Sister Mu.

It is precisely because of this that he will mobilize a large number of troops and equipment to Sister Mu, but only left Nankan with two tanks and four vulnerable armored vehicles.

He knew that the Shan State Army-—— or the Dongfeng Corps, would never be able to play their cards according to common sense.

Although he didn't fight the other side much, he definitely didn't study their battle examples.

How could they fight along the highway in a step-by-step manner, and how could they fight a so-called tough battle as they thought?

They themselves come from special operations backgrounds, and surprise victory is their usual method.

Therefore, Nankan will definitely be the first to be played, and Sister Mu is a dispensable chess piece for them.

But even so, he didn't expect that Nankan would be defeated so quickly.

It's so fast that you don't have time to support at all, and it's so fast that even if the other party wants to use the tactics of encirclement to help, they can't use it at all!

Is the enemy too strong, or is your own side too weak?

This question lingered in Ge Wugu's heart, and there was no clear answer for a while.

However, thinking of the grappling that took place in the jungle, at least he fully recognized the combat power of the Dongfeng Corps.

In the case of an all-round disadvantage in numbers, equipment, and even intelligence, they can still delay the arrival of support from the north and delay until the situation is completely reversed.

Therefore, if you want to defeat the other side, if you want to take advantage of the Shan army, a head-on conflict is not advisable.

Opportunism, delaying time, and waiting for support are the best combinations.

Yes, the Dongfeng Corps must have defended the supply lines as well, and they may have even anticipated their own surprise attack.

But even then, they can't have too many bells and whistles to deal with it.

In this case, whoever is fast will have the advantage; Whoever is well equipped will be able to take the Kokang!

As it happens, you can do it faster and better equipped.

The main force of the Shan State Army has already reached Nankan, and if they want to return to defense, they need at least 4 hours.

This also means that within 4 hours, as long as you completely annihilate the opponent's remaining forces, you can change the situation on the battlefield in an instant!

Thinking of this, Ge Wugu did not hesitate, but immediately walked out of the command headquarters and boarded his command vehicle.

All the equipment has been packed, and the troops are ready to be deployed.

As soon as Gowugu gave the order, the defenders, numbering more than 1,500 people, immediately moved in an orderly manner.

——

Although it sounds simple, in reality, his arrangement is not so "straightforward".

Instead of pulling the team over in one go, but leaving a team of two hundred people to defend Sister Mu and slow down the mobility of the Shan State army, divide the entire team into three parts: reconnaissance, firepower, and support, and maneuver in echelon sequences to eliminate all possible risks of attack on the path!

And as it turned out, his strategy did work wonders.

When the team marched to the 105 heights, they suffered the first attack.

A light infantry squad of 200 men tried to strike at their convoy with bazookas and mortars, but their whereabouts were quickly discovered by the reconnaissance team that came out, and before they could attack, the rear fire team taught them how to be human with a round of intensive artillery fire!

The attackers fled without causing any damage, and after the obstacle was cleared, the convoy sent a reconnaissance group to conduct another round of fire reconnaissance before directing the main forces in the rear to move forward.

They walked cautiously, but not slowly.

Two hours later, the team had reached the vicinity of Muang Si, the last 40 kilometers of Lao Cai remaining.

In Gewugu's view, if the Shan army wants to keep its supply line and hold the key node of Lao Cai, then Mengxi is their last chance.

To his surprise, in Mengxi, they were not intercepted in any way.

The road was unimpeded, but Brother Wu Gu's expression became more and more solemn.

Looking at the empty road in the distance, Brother Wugu opened his mouth and said to the adjutant:

"The Shan State Army can't just let us go, it's too unconscionable."

"They must still have an ambush, and they will definitely find a way to stop us."

"Meng Xi has passed, and the only defensive point is Jishan."

"That should be the final battle point, if."

"Bang Bang -——"

Before he could finish his words, a series of gunshots suddenly exploded on the nearby hill.

He subconsciously looked towards the mountain, and immediately saw that there were dozens of figures moving on the top of the mountain less than 300 meters away from his location.

These people do not seem to have any heavy weapons in their hands, the most "heavy" weapon, that is, a heavy machine gun.

Do you want to stop us with this little thing?

A trace of doubt flashed in Brother Wu Gu's heart, but he didn't dare to deal with it casually.

"Order 3 T-90s to go forward, step in tandem, and defeat the enemy on the top of the mountain."

"This should be the striker who is harassing with them, and they must have the strength of the back."

"The artillery was deployed on the spot, and a round of shelling of the hill was carried out."

"Don't chase killing, drive them away first!"

"Everyone get ready, build an improvised offensive, occupy the commanding heights, wait for the enemy to attack!"

"Understood!"

When the order was given, the Kachin army immediately moved.

I have to say that the team led by Ge Wugu is indeed elite, and it only took more than ten minutes for the team to complete the deployment.

If the coalition forces do not attack at this time, they will only be greeted with a crushing defeat.

Thinking of this, Brother Wu Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the Shan Confederate army is indeed panicking, and this battle has been fought so far, and they have finally made the first mistake.

At the same time, Lao Cai, inside the temporary headquarters of the Allied forces.

Peng Deren stared at the battle map on the wall and said:

"The enemy has taken the bait."

"They thought we were going to fight them to the death here, because according to their thinking, this team that went deep into the rear of our army had to be disposed of."

"Under this line of thinking, they will definitely be ready for all kinds of battles."

"This is our chance."

"Order the Fourth Company to withdraw, don't confront them head-on!"

"Maintain high-speed maneuvering, block at layer, and harass at every level."

"Distract the enemy's line of sight, force them to repeat the action of combat unfolding, and slow down their march."

"As long as we hold on for more than 4 hours, we win!"

"Understood!"

He Bupa, the temporary acting head of the Fifth Regiment, who was standing beside Peng Deren, replied without hesitation, without a look of grievance on his face.

In fact, when he was demoted from a brigade commander to a regiment commander, he was still somewhat unbalanced in his heart.

However, after listening to Chen Shen's personal dictation of the plan and understanding the incomparably crucial role that the regiment he led would play, his resentment had long since disappeared without a trace.

He knew that in Pubei, many people would never have the opportunity to fight such a battle in their lives.

The so-called tactics and strategies are too far away from the warlords here, and even if they have more troops in their hands, the most they can think of is "artillery bombardment and infantry rushing".

What containment, covering, interspersing, feints, that is something that only appears in books and television.

But now, he is really going to fight such a battle at the level of "strategy" beyond tactics!

Even as a regiment leader, he felt that he had no loss at all!

Thinking of this, He Bupa immediately relayed Peng Deren's order, mobilized his own troops, and continued to implement the strategy that Chen Shen had already set.

And less than 10 minutes after his order was given, the latest battle report from the front line had also arrived.

"The fourth company of our army has withdrawn from the position of Menximanhela and is retreating in the direction of the Savin bridge."

"The 6th Company has been deployed near Mankunsha."

"Enemy forces are maneuvering near Mankunsha and are expected to arrive in 10 minutes."

"Command the Sixth Company to block the enemy at Mankunsha!"

"Don't pursue killing, but at least hold the other party for 20 minutes!"

"Understood, hold the enemy for twenty minutes!"

Another order was issued, and at this point, the intentions of the Fifth Regiment and the Allied Army were actually revealed.

They want to fight a low-profile version of the Battle of Tieyuan in Kokang!

Of course, they could not have done the same thing as the real Battle of Cheorwon, slowing down the enemy's march at any cost and at any cost.

However, they have the advantage of poor information.

In the case that the enemy is not sure of our specific combat intentions, every blocking attack may be a clarion call for a decisive battle for them.

And in this case, they had to be cautious and had to hesitate!

Once you hesitate, you must be tempted, and as long as you are tempted, you must slow down.

Perhaps each of their temptations would only take ten minutes, or at most half an hour, but that would be enough.

Because of Peng Deren, a full 20 ambush interception points were set up for them!

Of course, not all of them will be used, but even if they only use one-third, the time they can gain has already exceeded Chen Shen's requirements

At this time, the blockade of Mankunsha was over.

The Sixth Company paid a lot of casualties-—— which is not small, and it is calculated according to the standard of Pubei Mindiwu.

A total of 150 people were involved in the attack, and more than 15 people were killed or wounded in the exchange of fire with the Kachin army.

But their sacrifice was worth it.

In Mankunsha alone, Kachin forces were held back for 30 minutes.

And next, it is the most critical point in the blocking battle.

Samhain Bridge.

Kachin Army, commanding the car.

Brother Wu Gu waved the pistol in his hand in a rage, and at this time he wanted to lead his team to rush forward and beat all the Shan troops who were like flies into pulp.

His face was flushed, and his voice was hoarse from the long shouting, but even so, he kept yelling and giving orders.

"Keep going! Straight across the bridge! ”

"The load-bearing capacity of the Savin Bridge is completely sufficient, just go over directly!"

"What the fuck are you afraid of?! There are only infantry on the opposite side, not even artillery! ”

"You guys fucking drive the T-90, and you're afraid of their Bayi bar!"

"Press it on me! Press it up! ”

"They're just trying to hold us back, and if the reinforcements from behind catch up, we're dead!"

"Understood!"

Gowugu's words fell, and the Kachin army's offensive instantly accelerated.

After a frenzied round of firepower, all Shan State firing points on the other side of the river were cleared, and Kachin tanks finally crossed the bridge.

In an instant, the tiger entered the flock, and the Shan State army, which was still holding out, scattered like birds and beasts, and no one even looked back in the direction of the Kachin army.

This scene was supposed to be "pleasing to the eye", but at this time, Goulku was not in the mood to celebrate the victory at all, because he knew that his enemies were about to achieve their goal.

The speed of your side has been seriously slowed down, and if the main force of the Shan State Army comes at this time, you will face the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy.

——

But the good news is that until now, he has not received a report from Sister Mu's defenders.

The other party didn't seem to continue to attack Sister Mu, but stayed in Nankan to repair.

Or, they returned the same way and bypassed Sister Mu's organization to pursue.

If that's the case, your odds are much better.

Because it takes at least 4 hours for the other party to climb the mountains and mountains, and after reaching the main road, it will take at least 2 hours to catch up with him.

By that time, his team should have marched into Kokang and was ready to defend.

Brother Wu Gu's frowning brow finally loosened a little.

He found that the Shan State Army had made no mistakes.

However, there are some things that are beyond the reach of human beings.

The main forces of the Shan State Army have been unable to catch up with themselves, and their own .

"Commander!"

Before he could finish his thoughts, a frightened call from the messenger pulled him back to the battlefield.

Brother Wugu subconsciously turned to the correspondent and scolded angrily:

"What the hell! Report directly! ”

There was a look of impatience on his face, because at this time, his thoughts had been fully used to deduce the current battle situation.

No matter what kind of information the correspondent brought, there was only one thing he had to do now.

Find a way to move forward quickly.

Other than this matter, any other issues are not important.

——

However, the correspondent's next sentence made Brother Wu Gu fall into an ice cave.

He realized that he was completely wrong.

Because, what the correspondent said

"The Fourth Brigade is defeated!"

"Eight Mo. Ba Mo is lost! ”
