Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

There is no doubt that the nearest reinforcement must be the garrison in Warsaw Town 25 kilometers away.

In order to protect the traffic throat of Zhanhuo Town, and also for the safety of the large quantities of materials hoarded in the town, before Than Shwe went north, he arranged a Sherman tank company, two companies of light infantry and a platoon of artillery, more than twenty A tank, three 88mm artillery guns, and various semi-permanent fortifications are already sufficient for this small town, but it is also limited to defense.

Once some of them were transferred to support Sawan Yangbin, the power of Warforth Town would immediately appear empty.

Then I led the troops back to help?

From Taigongdang to Zhanhuozhen and then to Sawan Yangbin, the travel distance is about 110 kilometers. Even if it is a rush march, the infantry needs at least 36 hours. If armored troops are used to help back, the speed can of course be much faster, but there is nothing to get up without sending. Big effect, send more... Once the armored forces in his hands are withdrawn south, another trouble will come.

Dan Rui looked at the red circle on the map that marked the location where the Guogan Army Peng Jia's voice was assembled, and a flash of irritation flashed in his heart.

From the information collected, it was learned that Peng Jia's voice department also came out this time. After taking Maben, he moved his headquarters from his lair to this place. This old fox, after knowing that he had arrived at Taigongdang, immediately retracted to the edge of the forest cover 20 kilometers away and did not confront him head-on. As long as his armored forces moved forward, Peng Jiasheng retreated extremely resolutely, often He got into the old woods in one breath and disappeared, which made his tank useless at all. When he retreated and repaired, the old guy would stick to it like brown sugar, as for small-scale sneak attacks. It is even more commonplace to be cold guns and guns every three to five. Based on the principle of nausea if you can't kill you, this old fox has simply brought the shameless tactics used by the guerrillas to the extreme.

In this case, Than Shwe knows with his knees what the remaining slow-moving light infantry will face once he sends the main armored force to the town of War.

That old guy will definitely follow closely like a bone gangrene. Not only will he try his best to slow down his marching speed, but he will also take the opportunity to remove all the fortifications set up by the Burmese army in the Taigongtang area one by one, and then by the way Eat up a few troops behind his palace.

And even if he arrives in the town of war and even returns to the aid of Savin Yangbin, what can he get? Xie Libu will definitely not confront him head-on, as long as he returns to Mogok, can he still chase him into Mogok?

This behavior is no different from suicide.

Then, my hard-working trip from Mandalay to Taigong Dang can be regarded as a complete failure, except for sending some heads from thousands of miles away, and then being led by others for a walk like a dog, what? Did not get it.

Therefore, he must not move, he must be nailed here, and he must be firmly in the palm of his hand.

Then there is only one option left-sending reinforcements from Mandalay.

Although doing so will further weaken Mandalay’s guarding power, Than Shwe believes that this is temporary, and no matter how arrogant civilians are, it is impossible and impossible to really dare to attack a city like Mandalay. Besides, it can be calculated by breaking their fingers. In the surrounding areas, they no longer have the armed forces to launch such an attack.

Than Rui carefully considered the next battle plan, and finally made up his mind.

He called the adjutant Ai Suo and issued a series of orders.

"Order, feel that Xintai must guard Savin Yangbin for 24 hours, tell him that even if the battle is the last soldier, he must hold on for 24 hours, tell him that reinforcements will be there soon; he defended, and I will give him his first credit when he comes back. , Can't hold it, come and see you!"

"Order, the Central Military District Staff Headquarters immediately notified the Air Force Command, asking them to coordinate operations, and requiring the Mandalay Air Force attack aircraft squadron to enter combat readiness. Starting at 7 o'clock in the morning, it will be divided into three waves to provide air support to Savin Yangbin. The first target is the enemy's large-caliber artillery position;"

"Order, the Armored Company of Warfire Town will immediately prepare for combat, and give them at most one hour of preparation time. After the preparation is completed, they will be dispatched immediately to search for Savin Yangbin;"

"Order, Warfire Town's infantry company will immediately prepare for combat, and coordinate with the armored company to search for Savin Yangbin;"

"Order, the heavy armored division stationed in Mandalay immediately mobilized a battalion of 59 tanks, must be ready within two hours to set off northward, search and advance, to garrison in Zhanhuozhen;"

"Order, the Mandalay Infantry Division will immediately transfer a battalion, and it must be ready to set off within two hours, go north in coordination with the heavy armored battalion, and garrison in Zhanhuozhen;"

Ashok faithfully recorded Than Shwe’s order, but did not immediately turn around to pass the order. Instead, he reminded with some worry: "General, in this way, Zhanhuozhen will have a period of time. When the reinforcements of Savin Yangbin and Mandalay were not reached, the garrison only had one infantry company and one artillery platoon. Isn’t the space empty?”

Dan Rui shook his head slightly, and sighed softly, "I know that this time is our most dangerous time, but in this situation, we can only make a bet."

As the adjutant of the general, the current situation is of course clear, and he also knows that Than Shwe’s dispatch of troops this time did not receive a warrant from the President. In other words, he did not receive support from other military regions in Myanmar. Only the troops from the Central Military Region under his command were used, and these people, apart from garrisoning strategically important locations and big cities, have limited power. Now they have been dispatched to confront Peng Jia’s voice, almost Dan. Rui can now use the limit of strength. The two battalions drawn out from Mandalay again can be said to be the final reserve team for this battle.

In any case, ensuring the safety of Mandalay is the top priority of the entire Central Military Region, and this second largest city in Myanmar with a population of 1.7 million is not only one of the economic centers of Myanmar, but also Den Shwe. The foundation of the first person in the military's real power must be firmly established, and there must be no slippage.

Ai Suo saluted Dan Rui, turned and trot out to deliver the order to the Communications Department. As an adjutant, he has done his duty to remind him. Now that the general has made up his mind, his mission is to complete These orders were conveyed to the commanders, and the military situation was fierce, and he did not dare to delay a second.

However, ten minutes later, he hurried back, sweating profusely and said to Dan Rui: "General, the Mandalay Air Force called back and said they could not be dispatched."

"what why?!"

Dan Rui let out an angry shout.

"They said that after receiving an order from the Presidential Palace, all fighters of the attack aircraft squadron are preparing to transfer to Yangon for garrison, and the defense of Mandalay will be taken over by the squadron that will fly from Yangon."

Than Rui's pupils immediately contracted.
