Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

Chapter 681: Plains Guerrillas Sparrow Fight

While waiting for the soldiers to clear the tunnel entrance, Than Shwe suddenly thought of a possibility. He quickly ordered Ai Suo to interrogate the nuns in this monastery because he didn't believe that the tunnel in the stable was built temporarily. .

The results of the interrogation confirmed his conjecture. An elderly mother told him that this tunnel was still a product of World War II. It was excavated by the Chinese people during the battle between Burmese jade and Japanese pirates, and another exit of the tunnel. The cemetery is just a few kilometers away.

After receiving this important information, Than Shwe secretly rejoiced that he had a hunch and made the right decision, but he couldn’t help but worry about the troop sent out. Obviously, since the enemy knew about this “old” tunnel, the team must be There are people who are familiar with the surrounding terrain, and the cemetery, judging from the high-power military map, is surrounded by a hilly area. For the current plain, it is the best ambush spot nearby.

Thinking of this, he felt that he had finally figured out the origin of his heart palpitations, he couldn't help but suddenly he called the adjutant Ai Suo and issued another order.

This time, he is going to use the trump card in the team, the "59" type medium main battle tank produced by China.

Compared with the old "Sherman" during World War II, the "59" medium-sized main battle tank obviously has far more armor and firepower. Than Shwe, who has long-term experience in combat with various "Mindiwu", knows, The weapons that these guerrillas can use to combat armored equipment such as tanks are very limited. Most of them are "40 fire" and the "40 fire" may have a good attack effect against the thin-skinned Sherman, but in the face "59" may be a little weak. According to Than Shwe's experience, the 40 fire can only threaten the side armor of "59" unless it is close to 100 meters. However, the application of "step-tan coordination" has already been skillfully applied. The government army obviously will not give the enemy such a chance.

As for the "Ace" large-caliber howitzer displayed by Xie Libu in the early battles, although this weapon can be used to sniper tanks even if it is flattened and fired directly, Dan Rui believes that even if it is equipped with tracked equipment, it can travel by itself. But across the town of Sawanyangbin, an important node on Highway 31 that is still firmly controlled by oneself, these heavy equipment will never reach here from Mogok through the dense mountains and forests.

If these large-caliber cannons really appeared here, Than Shwe felt that he would definitely not be able to ask for it. He could just use the opponent's eagerness to win the psychological two-sided attack and keep them, because for this battle, he set off in the big army. Previously, he had strengthened Savin Yangbin’s defensive force. Now there are three infantry companies and one armored company garrisoned there. With this configuration, even if the Mogok’s Xie Li Ministry comes out, the government forces that rely on strong fortifications can at least drag The enemy had more than 72 hours, and this time was enough for him to mobilize troops from Mandalay to reinforce Savin Yangbin.

His order was quickly executed again. A tank platoon completely copied from the Chinese military system and three "59"s were launched. At the same time, a platoon of light infantry was also assembled and slowly drove out of the station of the second regiment. The track traces of the team that had just set off slowly drove into the night.

The distance is only a mere 3 kilometers. If the tank makes a full assault, even a World War II veteran like "Sherman" can arrive in just over ten minutes. However, it is a dark night with infantry accompanying him. The command to search forward was executed, and the speed was inevitably affected. Although the continuous reports from the frontline troops showed that they had not found any suspicious conditions along the way, General Den Shwe was still very nervous.

How many years hasn't this happened?

Tan Rui felt that he was a bit abnormal tonight, and he couldn't help but think of his life as a military officer. Starting from a low-level officer, relying on the battle with the "Mindi Wu" guerrillas to accumulate military merits, he came to today step by step. He has honed his shocking general tolerance a long time ago, but the series of conditions that have occurred since today have made him a little impetuous. The opponent this time is probably quite different from the one he has ever met.

He resisted the restlessness in his heart, and tried his best to show himself calmly. He walked out of the room and climbed up the tallest building in the monastery along the disrepaired stairs-a three-story bell tower facing the east, holding hands. Railings, looking far away.

Despite the distance of several kilometers, the night wind clearly sent the roar of the running tank engine into his ears, and he could even see a few flashing light spots. Dan Rui knew that it was for Light from high-power lighting equipment installed on the tank to adapt to night battles.

"Buddha bless my soldiers to return safely." He who practiced Buddhism suddenly felt his heart. He clasped his hands together and murmured and prayed to the night sky. Although it was weird to do so on the top of the church, he believed that his sincere Buddha would be able to feel it. get.

Unfortunately, the Buddha is obviously not here today.

In the distance, a few strange clusters of firelight suddenly lit up, and they looked extremely dazzling in the dark night sky. Then, those clusters of firelight turned into meteors that pierced the night, and the corner of Dan Rui's eyes twitched, holding the hand of the railing. Squeeze tight!

The meteor quickly fell and turned into several hot fireballs. A barrage woven by tracers rose up, and a huge explosion sounded. At the same time, there was a continuous "dada" gun. sound.

Than Shwe's eyes were distraught. It was obvious that this was an attack on the troops who went to investigate, and this attack was clearly planned by the enemy!

Looking back now, since the first anti-tank mine encountered during the day, all these are traps carefully arranged by the enemy!

He rushed down the clock tower in three steps in two steps, rushed into the temporary headquarters, grabbed the phone furiously, and decided to send more troops to the cemetery for reinforcements. This time, he said nothing would let those who only drill. The mice in the hole and sneer have run away!

"report."

The adjutant's report interrupted the combat order he was about to give. He put down the microphone and accepted the frontline battle report handed by the adjutant Esso, before taking a look at it, he threw the report on the table.

The enemy has retreated, and according to the battle report sent by the frontline firefighting forces, the enemy retreated very resolutely. They probably did not intend to engage in a real battle with the government forces at all. The goal was only a sneak attack. As for the effect of the sneak attack, they It seems that they don't care at all. As long as the government forces pass the initial panic phase and start to organize an effective counterattack, they will immediately withdraw from the battlefield.

What’s even more annoying is that the enemy is equipped with a jeep that can effectively maneuver on the plains. This makes their retreat very successful. The speed and agility of this light vehicle are unmatched by tanks, as long as they If you want to run, your own armored vehicle will never catch up with them.

Dan Rui took a deep breath and warned himself that he must be calm. As the commander of this 8,000-strong force, he could not show even a little backlash at this time.

He picked up the battle report again and forced himself to read it word by word. He needed some time to stabilize his emotions and think about the next step, even if the numbers on the battle report made his heart drip. blood.
