District 9

After the Sichuan Independent First Division reorganized its army, Qi Lin assumed command of the southwest region, with two brigades under his jurisdiction, mainly responsible for the old triangle area and some military operations against the fifth region.

The newly reorganized Wang Tianhui 192 Brigade and Xiaobai's 191 Brigade are both in the combat sequence under Qi Lin. This time the war started in the Old Triangle area, these two brigades were originally prepared to seize the beach and land on Salt Island, but at this moment Naypyitaw The fighting in the area was fierce, and the 191st Brigade was suddenly transferred to the frontal battlefield.

This time participating in the war was Xiaobai's first time commanding a brigade-level unit in combat after returning from his studies in the Eighth District. He was filled with excitement and apprehension, as well as the ambition and prospect of winning the first victory.

If the Sichuan government had very few generals in the past, then as soon as the eight district officers graduated, the internal competition pressure also increased invisibly. When the younger generation of officers return to the army, they are all gearing up to get ahead, such as Qi Yuhang and other newly promoted regiment-level cadres; and old-school officers cannot survive forever resting on their laurels. The higher they climb, the fewer key positions they have. , if you are not good enough, you may be replaced at any time.

This kind of competition is both healthy and cruel.

…

191 Army Road near the Bayou Mountains.

Xiaobai was wearing a military green colonel's coat and was discussing combat plans with seven or eight senior officers in the brigade headquarters.

Everyone looked at the map on the tablet. Xu Yan's son Xu Liang was the first to say: "This enemy Jiang Hanshan of the 325th Armored Division is really crazy. He brags about it in the media, but his tactical intention is actually very obvious, that is, he wants to Lure us out of the defense zone and fight them in the Naypyidaw area."

"Yes." The chief of staff nodded and said, "But there is a reason for his madness. There are 90,000 enemy troops gathered in the Naypyidaw area. With so many people setting up a stage for him to perform, he feels confident."

"Brigadier Commander, our combat mission is to open an opening and cover Brigade Commander Wang and others to break out of the encircled area. It is better to pick a weak point of the enemy and attack." Xu Liang looked at the map and pointed at the southern theater and northeastern theater of the fifth district. The Central Link Zone said: "It's better to attack here. The three artillery regiments of the Pu faction are attacking this position in a covering manner. We will insert it and block the reinforcements in the southern theater for three to five hours. Brigadier Wang and the others will be able to get there. .”

"I think it works. With the cover of the three artillery regiments of the Pu faction, plus the joint attack of the 121st and 122nd brigades of our independent first division, it shouldn't be a problem to block the main force in the southern theater for a few hours." The chief of staff also nodded. Agree.

Xiaobai shook his head: "I don't think it's interesting to fight like this."

"What does the brigade commander mean...?"

"Look, Lao Xun's 121st Brigade and Ou Xiaobin's 122nd Brigade, under the command of the division headquarters, are chasing three tank regiments of the enemy's 325th Armored Division. The direction they are advancing is towards the center of Naypyitaw. It is expected that In five to six hours, we will encounter the enemy's main force in the southern theater." Xiaobai pointed at the map and said, "And the three artillery regiments of the Pu faction are also attacking the enemy's forward front in the southern theater to block them. With the connection with the Northeast Theater, especially the Jiang Hanshan 325 Armored Division, there will definitely be more troops in the future to block the main force in the southern theater, otherwise the firepower of the three artillery regiments will be in vain. Therefore, the battlefield here is a melee between multiple regiments. , we can’t get much money by rushing in, the most we can do is make soy sauce and send Daya and the others out.”

"Isn't this enough?" Xu Liang frowned and said, "This is the order given to us by the division headquarters."

"No, the order given by the division headquarters is just one sentence, send Daya and the others out." Xiaobai waved his hand: "This combat order is very broad. To put it bluntly, as long as you achieve the goal, you can give any specific command."

Everyone didn't understand Xiaobai's meaning for a while.

"This bastard Jiang Hanshan, the more I look at him, the more displeased I become." Xiaobai pointed at the map and cursed: "His 325th Armored Division headquarters is currently located in the Fuyang area outside Naypyitaw. There is a high altitude area here. A low hill surrounded by plains. In addition to his three tank regiments, an infantry regiment, and a firepower battalion, they were all targeted by Lao Xun and the others on the periphery. There were not many main troops around him. . But this man is so crazy that he even claims that the war will be over in a few weeks... The more I look at him, the more I want to fuck him."

"Are we alone a brigade?" Xu Liang asked: "This is a bit difficult to achieve. We are currently the farthest away from the 325th Armored Division, and Jiang Hanshan's tactical intention is also very obvious, which is to lure our main force to attack them. "

Xiaobai licked his lips: "According to the normal marching route, we will definitely not be able to overtake Lao Xun and the others in front. But if we have to go straight through the field, we can increase the marching speed."

"The field is full of snow shells, and our heavy armored vehicles can't pass through it at all." The chief of staff frowned and said, "Unless...!"

"Yes, no heavy armored vehicles." Xiaobai looked at the crowd, pointed at the Fuyang area and said: "Let's do it here, abandon the heavy armored vehicles, and install all light off-road and armed pickup trucks with anti-skid chains and front-mounted snow shovels. , I want to imitate Guan Yunchang and kill Yan Liang quickly."

Xu Liang quickly scanned the map, made an estimate and said, "This will save at least about three hours of marching time, and we'll have a head start."

"Damn it, the Governor of the Eighth District, the eldest brother of Sanfeng Mountain, and the division commander of Sichuan Mansion are all going to give orders to twist his head. I'm sorry, I will lead the way at this pace." Xiaobai looked at everyone with determination: "Order Each regiment canceled the original march route and prepared to insert diagonally from the roadless wilderness area in the direction of Fuyang. The forward troops do not need to speed up, we still need to wait for the fighter planes to appear. This fucked-up Jiang Hanshan has aroused public outrage. I think Sanfeng Mountain They won't stop there, and we will speed up our march once their pressure comes."

"yes!"

Everyone stood at attention and saluted in response.

…

Pu Corps Headquarters.

"Reporting to the commander, the covering strike of the three artillery regiments has had an effect. The 57th Army asked if it will move forward?"

"Order the 57th Army to stop the enemy's reinforcements in the southern theater." Pu Xiazi immediately stood up, pointed at the sand table and said: "The rest of the main force should be given to me to attack the northeastern theater of the fifth district. Who the hell gives it to me first? Cut off Jiang Hanshan’s head, capture Fuyang, and I will make him a general!”

"yes!!"

…

About five minutes later.

The 57th Army launched an attack on the enemy's main force in the southern theater in the Naypyitaw area.

at the same time.

With Gu Yan's permission, the heroic generals of District 8, Fatty Teng and Xiao Ke, suddenly withdrew the main forces of their respective divisions from the defensive battlefield and headed directly towards the Fuyang area.

Fuyang, inside the division headquarters of the 325th Armored Division.

Jiang Hanshan sat on a chair, drank tea, and said calmly: "Don't panic, our tactical goal has been achieved. In this battle, the enemy's main force will be completely wiped out in the Fuyang area. All units, be prepared for a deadly battle! "
