At this terrible time, how could the Presidential Palace suddenly issue such an order to change defense?

Than Rui immediately realized that something was wrong.

He is the commander of the Central Military Region. However, according to the functions of the Burmese Jade Government Army, what he can directly command is only the Army of the Central Military Region, and the Air Force is not included, even if this air force is based in Mandalay. .

All air forces in Burma Jade are under the control of the Burmese Jade Air Force Command and are under the direct command of the Presidential Palace. This force has always been loyal to President Wu Nai Wen. Therefore, his second order just now was issued to the Central Military Region Staff Headquarters, requiring them to cooperate with The Air Force communicated and received their reinforcements.

Because of Than Shwe's current strength and status in the military, he originally thought that obtaining approval should be easy, but now it is obviously not.

The attack aircraft squadron stationed in Mandalay has been transferred to Yangon. The Air Force Command’s order has been issued. Of course, it is impossible to change it immediately. The plan to expect them to go to Savin Yangbin for air support has thus come to nothing and replace their original station in Yangon. The squadron does not know whether it has taken off, and even if it has already taken off, Yangon has an air distance of nearly 600 kilometers from Mandalay. It takes nearly an hour for the "Strong Five" fighters to fly over, and Than Shwe knows that fighters are not. The car can be used when it is driven over. After this transition flight, it must be inspected and maintained before it can be put into use again. According to the "Strong Five" standard, it is maintained after every flight hour Time, at least 12 hours! ——In other words, for at least 12 hours, he does not need to expect effective air support.

Obviously, this situation occurred when he was in urgent need of air support. It could not be a coincidence. It was a slap on him by internal political opponents!

As for who this person is, who can be directly ordered by the Presidential Palace, who else can it be?

Than Rui slammed a fist on the table, smashing into a big hole in the military map on the table, and said bit by word: "Esso Win Wu!"

The anger turned to anger. At this critical moment, Wu Estowen stabbed him in the back. He wrote down this grudge, and he will definitely get revenge in the future, but now is not the time to consider how to revenge. He must first solve the problem at hand. .

The force is obviously at a disadvantage, and all the outlying strongholds have been lost. It is only supported by the "human shields" of the residents of Savin Yangbin. If it is not supported, it is likely that it will not be able to support the 24 hours he requested. !

Dan Rui took a few heavy breaths to calm himself down. He asked, "How are the troops in Warfire Town prepared?"

Ai Suo glanced at his commander with some worry, and then replied: "They are already preparing after receiving the order. However, you know, General, the tank needs to be filled with fuel and ammunition. I think they can It is the limit of ability to be ready to dispatch within the hour you requested. I am afraid that they cannot be asked for more."

Than Rui nodded, then bowed his head for a few minutes before asking, "So, has the helicopter squadron in Mandalay received a similar order to change defense?"

Ai Suo replied immediately: "I asked this specifically just now. They haven't received a similar order."

Than Rui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "In my name, I will give another order to the staff to immediately communicate with the air force and transfer all helicopters that can participate in the war to the Savin Yangbin battlefield. The General Staff told the Air Force that we had a team surrounded there. If we can’t get air support, the entire army is likely to be wiped out. If they don’t want to go to the military court to argue with me, it’s best to approve the operation immediately. !"

Ai Suo immediately agreed, then turned and rushed away.

When he went out, Dan Rui sank back into his chair. He didn't know what to do for a while. He just looked at the military map on the table that he had smashed into a big hole in silence.

Ai Suo ran back quickly. This time he finally brought good news. The Air Force has approved his plan of action. Four "Huey" helicopters can be dispatched, and they have already begun to do pre-takeoff operations. Preparation, it is expected that it can be lifted off to the theater of support within 1 hour.

I hope it's still too late.

For some reason, Than Shwe, who heard the good news, didn't feel a little at ease, but had a bad premonition rising from his heart.

...

"Report to Commander Lei that at present, the periphery of Savin Yangbin Town has been completely cleared, and the remaining recalcitrant enemy forces have been compressed in the town center. Relying on a few buildings and a few remaining tanks, a circular fortification was built, but they I just called out to us that there are hundreds of residents of Savin Yangbin in the building. If we don’t want to be accused of killing civilians, we’d better stop the attack."

"These special old Burmese can really do it!" Leibo bitten on the ground bitterly, "Kidnapping civilians from his country as hostages. I've seen this tactic for the first time."

A dark-skinned middle-aged man on the side disdainfully said: "Lao Lei, it's the first time you have dealt with that backbasket general. That's why it feels strange. I tell you, in Myanmar, other government generals may still converge. Some, as for this Than Shwe, in his eyes, our ethnic minorities are not humans at all. Since they are not even humans, how can we talk about hostages? Those townspeople kidnapped by them are just their shields. "

Leibo said: "It seems that you have a deep resentment against Than Rui, Old Dee!"

The middle-aged man who was called the old German by Leibo said bitterly: "How could it not be deep? Think about it, we Deang people have lived in Mogok and Mengmi regions for generations. We are an uncontested nation. Tea makes a living, the last Polong chieftain Kun Bansheng founded the Deang National Unity Alliance and signed the "Panglong Agreement" in February 1947 to promote the national reconciliation of Burmese jade and the cause of fighting for the independence of Burmese jade from Britain He made important contributions. He even voluntarily resigned from his position as chieftain in 1958 and ended the hereditary chieftain system in the Polong area. It can be said that the Kunban grand chieftain and our Deang people have paid a lot for the peace of Burmese jade, but you can see , What have we got? Our Deang people have a population of nearly 1 million, and less than 300,000 people can be recognized and issued by the Burmese jade government. What are the remaining 700,000 people? Livestock?"

Having said this, Old German was obviously a little excited. He took a few heavy breaths and let his emotions calm down a little bit before continuing: "This Dan Rui has always been "suppressing the bandits" since he became the commander of the Central Military Region. In the name of our village, we burned, killed, looted, and committed no evil, even slaughtered the entire village. Even the elderly and children were not spared. The parents, wives and children in my family are... anyway, they have been forced to live. If we can't go down, the left and right are dead, so we might as well take up arms and resist and die!"

Leibo was so emotional when he said these words that his face was flushed, and even a pair of tiger eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn't help but regret it slightly. He blamed his own stinky mouth for a while. Slippy, what he said provoked old De's sadness, so he quickly comforted him: "Old De, don't get excited, aren't we here to avenge you this time? Always let Dan Rui and his subordinates pay. The price is enough."

Old German reached out his hand and wiped his eyes, wiped away the tears that had leaked out of his eyes, nodded and said, "Yes, this time I am going to take revenge severely, Commander Lei, I know you are embarrassed now. The reason why I dare not order a force attack is because I am afraid that the civilians in those buildings are in danger, and I am afraid that I will be charged with disregarding the lives of civilians. I know that you and Master Xie are both people who do important things and need to cherish reputation. I Although De Horump is just a big soldier in his body as the head of the regiment, he is now naked and unconcerned. He is not afraid of anything, so let the people I lead attack those buildings. If there is something wrong, you can put all the responsibilities on me. The De'ang armed forces killed the De'ang civilians. It doesn't matter how you say it. I will die and apologize, as long as I can personally Kill those old Burmese, it's worth it to die!" After saying this, De Horump didn't wait for Leibo to agree, and turned around to greet his Deang soldiers and horses, preparing to launch a final attack on the only remaining enemy.

His words made Leibo's heart surge. He opened his mouth and wanted to agree, but before he could say it, he suddenly heard a huge roar from the sky, and he couldn't help but stop his mouth. He grabbed De Holump and said: "Old German, wait a minute."
