Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

Since the planned battlefield is in the Taigongdang area, for the 200-kilometer journey north from Mandalay, the troops will naturally remain in the marching state. Of course, choosing to go north along Highway 31 is the best choice.

The line of more than 8,000 people stretched across the not-too-wide Route 31. It was naturally very spectacular. General Than Shwe sat in an old-fashioned metric convertible jeep and looked at the torrent of steel passing by him triumphantly. Full of pride in his chest, he believed that in the land of Burmese jade, nothing could stop his team armed to the teeth from jumping on the opponent and tearing it to pieces.

As for the Xie Li Ministry entrenched in Mogok?

Hehe, only 6 guns, used to deal with light infantry without the assistance of armored troops, of course, can destroy the dead, but when it comes to the battlefield where the regular army is decisive, the long-range power is not worth mentioning!

He was thinking like this, but suddenly heard two violent explosions in front of him!

Out of instinct, all the soldiers who were still in the marching state spontaneously separated and lay down on the spot. At the same time, they loaded the bullets quickly, searching the surroundings with uncertain eyes.

However, after these two explosions, there was no follow-up attack. Than Shwe impatiently pushed away the adjutant Esso who had just threw on him, and straightened the military uniform that had been slightly wrinkled by him. Frowning his brows, just about to order Ai Suo to come forward and ask the reason, he saw a communication soldier hurriedly rushing over, and he yelled and asked, "What's the matter? What's going on?"

The correspondent saluted and reported profusely: "General, a "Sherman" tank that served as the third company of the advance regiment triggered an anti-tank mine planted by the enemy. The tank was seriously damaged and all the crew were killed. The third company commander asked me to report back and ask whether the next action is still going on as planned."

Than Rui's eyebrows were twisted into a pimple. He did not immediately give an order, but said to the correspondent: "Go and see."

The team consciously gave way, and General Than Shwe arrived at the scene quickly in a jeep, and he saw a mess.

A Sherman tank tragically rushed down and fell into a deep pit. Its body was charred. The turret had been separated from the chassis. Obviously, the internal ammunition had been smashed. In this case, the crew was almost impossible. May get a chance to survive. The track on the left is broken and it is loosely slumped on the chassis. Although the track on the right is intact, it is completely separated from the road wheels; at the bottom of the Sherman, there are two large radial holes, which are counterproductive. A masterpiece of tank mines.

Beside this miserable Sherman, there were five stretchers lined up neatly with white cloth on them. General Than Shwe got out of the jeep and walked to the side of the stretcher with a serious face, uncovering the white cloth one by one, facing the white cloth. The **** young body solemnly saluted the military, and then whispered: "Come on, take them home."

A military doctor came over and quickly transported the corpse away. Than Rui ordered: "Let the tank rescue vehicle come up to clear the road. Also, order the second company of a regiment to search and advance, and the rest of the troops stay alert."

The order was quickly communicated and was faithfully executed. The entire team moved forward in turn, but this time the speed was obviously slowed down, because the group of forwards, Sanlian no longer dared to act unscrupulously. Cyclonus rushed forward. They had to check every suspicious place. Who knew that on the disrepaired Route 31, under those seemingly ordinary puddles and collapses, were there the same traps?

It is useful to be careful. In the next march on this day, several anti-tank mines were discovered one after another, and on both sides of the road, a different number of anti-infantry mines were found. The installers of these mines were obviously Some are careless, just like just discarding these mines at will, and some don’t even bother to dig a shallow pit to bury them, just exposing them to broad daylight in such a big way-but in Tan Shwe’s view, doing so is not Disgusting enough, the enemy clearly knows that in the face of such a large force advancing, the mine array can play a limited role, and it does not intend to mass-kill its opponents. Its purpose is to **** the speed of the government forces. Obviously, They did it.

On this day, Than Shwe had to send a team of engineers to clear these mines first, so a lot of time was wasted. The whole team only advanced less than 40 kilometers.

In the evening, the expedition team established a camp near the Koyanikam Monastery and requisitioned the monastery as a temporary headquarters. After dinner, Dan Shui Cao opened the military map in the temporary headquarters and began planning the next marching route. .

What happened today tells him that the enemy is clearly prepared for his actions, so the original plan to rush to the plains near Taigongdang to deploy defenses and eliminate the local “civilian military” armed forces must be adjusted. Foreseeing that this action may not be as smooth as he originally expected.

The action of the enemy's delayed headquarters must have a certain purpose. Then, what is this purpose? Do they want to gather forces and start a battle with themselves somewhere?

No, this is impossible!

Even if it goes deep into the Taigongdang area, it is only 200 kilometers away from Mandalay, which is completely within the combat radius of the own air force based on Mandalay Airport, and there is air on the plain terrain without dense forest protection. The superior side is almost invincible. Even if the "Mindiwu" gathers a large force of tens of thousands of people, it is only the flesh of its own plan. I believe that even if it is an enemy commander who is more conceited, Nor would make such a stupid decision.

What's more, the enemy's commander should be Lien Chan's Xie Li some time ago?

Although Than Rui has not directly fought against Xie Li, he also knows that this commander, who was originally from China, was able to kill all the way from the Golden Triangle to Mogok since he could only rely on a team of less than 2,000 people and a few large-caliber howitzers. And successfully connected several "civil-district military" base areas into one piece, and accomplished what the "Burmese Communist Party" could not do with all their best efforts, then it would never be possible to commit such a low-level mistake.

So, what is the purpose of the enemy?

Than Rui's eyebrows were twisted into a big lumps, and his eyes kept patrolling on the high-powered military map, hoping to find a clue to solve the mystery in his heart.

Then he saw a strange place less than 3 kilometers east of the Koyanican Monastery where he was stationed.

Koyanikam Cemetery.

For no reason, a feeling of heart palpitations emerged from his heart.

Danger!

Years of military service has cultivated his intuition for danger, and it is this beast-like intuition that has saved his life countless times!

He opened his mouth and was about to scream out his instinct about danger, and ordered the troops in charge of the night watch to increase their vigilance and guard against unknown risks, but suddenly realized that it was too late.

In an instant, there were loud gunshots and explosions in the monastery.
