Chapter 312: Encircle and Annihilate

Du Yiyan shook her head, "He doesn't look down on me, he looks up to us."

"Look down on us?"

"That's right. If they underestimated us, they wouldn't think so much and would just rush over like a mountain."

Li Xisong was slightly startled, and immediately realized that he was still thinking by inertia, and naturally put himself on the weak side.

"I see. He must know that we have a million troops, so he is cautious."

Du Yiyan raised her head and looked at Li Xisong, "Well, the Empire's 'Defend Freedom' operation has begun, and we have the video of the bombing.

Next, you can start live streaming your performance!"

Li Xisong smiled, "Yes, I still have this important task to complete. This is the best reason for us to represent justice and eliminate the enemy."

After saying that, Li Xisong and Du Yiyan saluted, turned around and left the command hall.

His battlefield was in the live broadcast hall downstairs, which had also been set up.

Li Xisong will denounce the empire's brutal bombing and invasion of Northern Luzon in the name of the head of the Northern Luzon government.

Denounce the complicity of the Lu Song puppet government.

Hold high the great banner of anti-aggression, anti-hegemony and anti-colonialism, and resolutely defend the right of the people of Lusong to pursue progress.

Calling on all Lusong people to drive out the invaders!

After Li Xisong left, an officer with the rank of lieutenant general came to Du Yiyan.

This is Lieutenant General Li Kos, Chief of the General Staff of the People's Army. Today, there is a trend of using the name of Longguo within the People's Army.

Lieutenant General Li Kos's original name was Hannicos. He also followed Li Xisong's example and used the surname Li, and named himself Li Kos.

"Commander-in-chief, General Zhao Lio from the Biyao front called and said that the Imperial Armored Army appeared there and has broken through the first line of defense!"

Du Yiyan's expression remained unchanged as she said, "General Li Kos, can Zhao Lio confirm that all the First Armored Battalion of the Empire has been dispatched?"

Lieutenant General Li Kos nodded and said, "Yes, it has been confirmed. The 1st Armored Battalion has been fully deployed."

Du Yiyan's eyes flashed with joy, "Tell Zhao Lio to act according to the plan. Since the Imperial Armor Battalion is taking care of him, he must perform well."

Li Kos smiled and nodded, "Zhao Lio got a great bargain this time."

As for the fact that the Empire had deployed a new type of soldier, the Armored Battalion, for this operation, information about it was sent to the headquarters as early as a week ago when the 1st Armored Battalion arrived in Manila.

Du Yiyan led the staff group, and after several speculations and planning, formulated several backup plans, preparing to encircle and annihilate the 1st Armored Battalion after it was dispatched.

The People's Army has made a corresponding combat plan against the empire's "Defend Freedom" military operation.

It reflects a key point, which is "attacking the enemy's vital points and annihilating the imperial army."

The People's Army has trained five million people in the past three months and selected one million to form an elite front-line force.

According to the effect of the consciousness helmet, this million-strong army has been trained for almost a year.

Combining various actual combat exercises and virtual exercises, their combat capability is definitely not that of new recruits who have only been trained for three months in the eyes of the Imperial Army and Lu Song's puppet army.

In this situation, no matter how cautious James is, the Imperial Army and the Lusong puppet army will be filled with underestimation of the enemy from top to bottom.

Du Yiyan’s idea was simple: to play along and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger.

And she plans to eat the Imperial Army specifically.

Although the scale of the "Defend Freedom" military operation was temporarily expanded, not too many imperial ground troops were dispatched.

The main reason was that there was not enough time, which resulted in the equipment being transported in time.

Just think about it, during the Desert Shield military operation, it took the Empire more than half a year to transport 50 troops.

This time, it was already considered good enough to be able to send the entire 25th Army Division to Beilusong.

This is because the 25th Division belongs to the global rapid reaction force.

If we really want to get a heavy armor division, we don’t know how long it will take.

As for drawing on the Imperial Army's famous rapid reaction forces, the 82nd Airborne Division or the 101st Airborne Division.

On the one hand, I feel there is no need to face the People's Army.

On the other hand, the 101st Airborne Division, one of the two forces, has been deployed in Ermao.

The 82nd Airborne Division is a strategic mobile force ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

Of course, this force currently has an important mission.

Therefore, Michel Brick finally chose to expand the scale of naval and air force participation in the war.

From a two-carrier strike group, it increased to three-carrier strike group plus an amphibious assault ship strike group.

This will also increase the combat power of the Marine Corps.

At the same time, in order to experiment with new weapons, the land warfare department also invested in the newly formed 1st Armored Battalion.

We hope to use the point to lead the whole, and drive the millions of Lusong puppet troops to sweep across northern Lusong.

That is to say, on the entire battlefield, the Imperial Army will only have more than 2 troops directly involved in ground combat.

Du Yiyan planned to eat up these 2 people, so that the backbone of Lu Song's puppet army would be broken.

That would be a great opportunity to sweep across the entire Lusong.

The war had just begun, and when we heard the news that the Empire's 1st Armored Battalion was dispatched, we were naturally excited.

Beilu pine, Banbang.

This is the focal point of the entire Baguio defense line, 18 kilometers behind the Kapa Pass. Kapa Pass is the passage into the Cagayan Valley, and after passing the pass, Banbang is the pass town leading to the North Luzon Highway.

After the Air Force completed bombing some key locations on the Baguio defense line.

Colonel David led his 1st Armored Battalion in a full-speed assault.

The battle was like a crushing defeat, and the People's Army seemed to have never expected that there would be such a flexible armored force.

Large-caliber machine gun bullets cannot penetrate armor. If you want to use rockets or recoilless guns, the enemies wearing armor are extremely agile.

It cannot be like those huge tanks or armored vehicles that can only rely on their thick skin to withstand rocket attacks.

The appearance of armored enemies quickly caused the People's Army's defense line to collapse.

The 9th Armored Division of Lu Song's army followed closely behind the 1st Armored Battalion, broke through the gap in its defense line, and quickly expanded the results of the battle.

The eastern section of the Baguio Line of Defense, which had been held for months, was completely lost just one hour after the war began.

The Empire-Lüsong coalition forces advanced smoothly.

However, at this time, because the 9th Armored Division had to tear open the entire defense line horizontally, a distance of 1 kilometers quickly emerged between it and the 5st Armored Battalion.

Under the cover of night, a troop also wearing armor inserted into the gap like lightning.

Almost at the same time, a large number of drones swarmed in.

The tanks and armored vehicles of the 9th Armored Division of the Lu Song Army suffered a devastating blow almost immediately.

They were celebrating their victory just now, but in the blink of an eye, all their armored forces were hunted down with precision.

The 9nd Infantry Division, which followed closely behind the 102th Armored Division, was stunned by the tragic scene reflected by the explosion and fire before them.

If the 9th Armored Division was the ace unit of Lu Song's Army, then the 102nd Infantry Division was still a rookie unit.

It was a force originally stationed in the Kapa Pass area and was defeated in the "Thunder Operation" launched by the People's Army.

After being reorganized, the defeated troops were thrown into the battle to counterattack the Kapa Pass defense line.

After suffering more than half of their troops' casualties in another battle, they withdrew to the rear to recruit new soldiers and complete the reorganization again.

That is to say, except for a small number of officers, ordinary soldiers of the 102nd Infantry Division have been rotated at least twice.

Originally, the combat effectiveness of Lu Song’s army was not very strong. The few elite troops that had been repeatedly trained by the Imperial Army had been consumed in the tug-of-war on the Biyao defense line in the past few months.

During this period, Lu Song's army forcibly conscripted soldiers everywhere, and the new recruits were not enthusiastic about training after joining the army.

They did not have the consciousness helmet provided by Li Tang to conduct special virtual-reality training to shorten the training period of new recruits.

For example, many of the new recruits in the 102nd Division had never even fired a gun a few times.

This situation is very common in Lu Song's army now.

Originally, they were following the 9th Armored Division, which was known as the ace, and could fight well when the wind was favorable.

At this moment, across several mountains, we could see the tanks and armored vehicles of the 9th Armored Division in front of us being lit with torches one by one.

But in the dark, you can't see where the enemy is.

At this time, the 2nd Armored Division of the People's Army suddenly rushed out from the flank of the defense line, and immediately defeated the 102nd Division completely.

Not only did they lose the Kappa Pass they had just captured, but they also retreated more than ten kilometers.

"Zhao Lio got such a good bargain!" Du Zhenguo couldn't help but complain.

Chen Yunhai's voice was cold in the communication channel, "Du Zhenguo, you lead the 301st Squadron to defend the Kapa Pass. You are not allowed to retreat without orders!"

Du Zhenguo's wailing voice immediately sounded in the tactical channel, "Ah, Captain, you..."

"What are you yelling about? Follow the order! After the 2nd Armored Division leaves the mountain pass, they will hide and wait. We must defend the mountain pass!"

Du Zhenguo immediately said, "With the limited combat power of the Lu Song puppet army, it would be a waste of manpower for us to guard it with only one squadron."

"Du Zhenguo, if you continue to be so stubborn, you will be a squadron leader for the rest of your life."

As the People's Army took over Northern Luzon, it began to expand its military.

The Red Star Security Third Brigade originally stationed in Lusong was no longer sufficient.

Li Tang then made new expansion adjustments to the Red Star Security and redivided it into three squadrons.

The commander of the 1st Brigade was originally Qi Tian, ​​but he was recalled to the Blue Star Defense Force not long ago and became the commander of the st Star Marine Brigade.

The successor was Sun Dahai, who grew up in Baruch and was the original captain of the 4th Battalion.

The commander of the second regiment is Du Yiyan, who is now the commander-in-chief of the Lusong People's Army.

The commander of the Third Regiment is Luo Yan, who is now the commander-in-chief of the Pagan Joint Army.

The Red Star Security Corps also has 12 battalions under its command, with over ten thousand human soldiers alone. Together with the assigned [Seiko] armed robot warriors, it has a total of more than troops.

Obviously, Li Tang's military expansion was already a preparation for subsequent wars.

Chen Yunhai, nicknamed "The Butcher", was naturally promoted to the captain of the 3rd Battalion in this military expansion, while Du Zhenguo took over his original position as the captain of the 301st Squadron.

This time, the knife that Du Yiyan used to encircle and annihilate the Empire's 1st Armored Battalion was the 3rd Battalion led by Chen Yunhai.

The main force guarding Banbang at this moment is the 12th Infantry Division of the People's Army.

But Chen Yunhai left a combat squadron there, plus a heavy firepower squadron.

Ensure that the 1st Imperial Armored Battalion is completely unable to penetrate the Banbang Pass.

In other words, this is the bottom of the pocket formation for encircling and annihilating the Armored Battalion.
