Chapter 087
Sudden changes
The three of them discussed until the evening and finally established all the orders. At first, it was to reach the amount of 100 million, but as they deepened the discussion, they seemed a little too intense. As they talked, when they were sure that they didn't need anything else, the total transaction amount was calculated, which exceeded twice the original amount.
If it is in China, it would be almost one billion yuan, which is enough for one person to become a rich man. But for Zheng Qi and the others, the money comes quickly and spends quickly. In less than a day, the money in the account will disappear. If it is an ordinary person, it is really impossible to accept this consumption speed.
It is real to waste money on war.
After placing an order, they would have to wait for them to deliver the goods in the next day. The place where the planes docked was in the neighboring countries. After the group of arms dealers gave the leaders of those regions some money, they could dock the planes at will without any other concerns.
After learning about this result, Zheng Qi and He Ximei were both stunned. They were still anxious about the take-off and landing of the transport plane. Unexpectedly, they had already opened a channel in Southeast Asia, and as long as there were large transactions, they could be carried out there.
However, due to the large transaction volume, it will take some time for the other party, which is estimated to be within half a month before delivery. During this period, Zheng Qi planned to seize the time to train troops and train some pilots with good talent. Naturally, he also tried it, but his technology was not very good and could control the rise and fall. However, if he had to add those airborne fire control systems, he would be a little too busy. Perhaps he was born not suitable for flying planes, but He Ximei learned it very quickly. Under Hong Ming's teaching, she also played well.
...
Before the arms were delivered, a phone call completely broke the tranquility here, making the situation that had been eased immediately become nervous. It was like a bow, which was still tightly pulled up before it could be released, which really made many people unable to react.
"Hey, Commander Lin, are you looking for me if you have anything to do?" Zheng Qi picked up his cell phone and started chatting with Lin Xian on the other side of the phone.
"Commander Zheng still sounds so leisurely," Lin Xian said with a smile, but Zheng Qi heard it, his laughter was a bit far-fetched.
"What's wrong?"
"Have you been paying attention to the matter in North Wa State recently?" Lin Xian did not answer, but asked this question.
"Well, there is not a lot of news. After the military government intervenes, there should be a confrontation there, right?" Zheng Qi said uncertainly. After the truce between Shan and Wa states, his main energy has been devoted to armed defense and replacing equipment.
"No, things have already made a big deal." Lin Xian's tone sounded very surprised. He probably just got the news.
"Are you fighting again?" Zheng Qi asked tentatively.
"It's even more terrifying than fighting. Their leader and their boss, Bao Xiang, were assassinated."
"What? Bao Xiang is dead?" Zheng Qi asked in disbelief, "Are you sure it is Bao Xiang?"
"Of course, Northern Wa State has admitted that this time it was done by an assassination team. According to rumors, Wei Gang from Wa State directly said that it was done by a special force sent by the US military. They found an opportunity to assassinate Bao Xiang, and then provoked unrest in Wa State, trying to take the opportunity to attack them."
"The US military team?" Zheng Qi said. He immediately remembered that when they had not established the Tiger Regiment a few months ago, they had seen the Delta troops in Southern Shan State. They were thinking about fighting, but there was no news about them later. Could it be that this army did it?
"How far has the matter developed now?" Zheng Qi continued to ask. It is probably not just Bao Xiang's death that could make Lin Xian take the initiative to find him.
"Weide has assembled a team and is going to send troops to Southern Shan State to arrest the murderer, but the leader of Southern Shan State Joseph has never given up. Instead, he accused Wa of the State of deliberately provoking war. If Wa dares to take a step forward, they will launch the most fierce counterattack."
"What about the military government's attitude?"
"The military government did not make any statement, and this matter was difficult to deal with. After all, the leader died. If they issued an order without authorization, it would probably arouse the anger of the Wa people, so they actually withdrew their troops at this time." Lin Xian also said this with surprise. The military government's attitude was really elusive and he couldn't figure out what they were trying to do.
Zheng Qi thought more than he thought of. Perhaps the military government knew that this time the matter was difficult to solve, or they knew that the US military had intervened. Based on the principle that more things were better than less, they probably would sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight again, but it is impossible to determine whether they could sit firmly in this position.
"Has Southern Wa State also made moves?" Zheng Qi asked the key point. After all, how did Northern Wa State change, the chances of affecting them are very small. The only one that can make Lin Xian nervous is the independent South Wa State. They stood behind Zheng Qi and Lin Xian with covetous eyes, and were waiting for an opportunity to launch a fierce attack. Moreover, with the support of Southern Wa State, once it attacked, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to defend.
"They have assembled the army and will probably go north in the near future. I heard that their number has increased a lot and their equipment has been improved to a higher level." Lin Xian said that the other party has a large number of people and good equipment, which is what he is most worried about.
"Then we really have to prepare well," Zheng Qi said seriously. "Today, Commander Lin will come to me to discuss the strategy together?"
"Okay, I'll take someone over here now."
...
The army of South Wa State has indeed prepared everything. It seems that they have been planning this day. Attacking Wa State from front to back is a very good strategy. After all, the defense power of North Wa State is not strong, and now they have concentrated a large number of troops in the battle between the west and the southern Shan State, and the army cannot be separated. This is simply a great opportunity.
However, there was something standing in front of them, that was the alliance of the Eastern Shan State, the alliance between the Tiger Regiment and the Allied Forces. Although the combat power was not favored, this alliance had at least some troops. It would be impossible for the opponent to defeat him without spending some effort.
And in this case, the first contact between the other party begins.
Zheng Qi and others have been closely following the movements of the Independence Army of the South Wa State. When they were doing something, Zheng Qi and Lin Xian immediately concentrated their troops, took more than 20 howitzers, waiting on their way. Before they attacked, they first bombed them and completely cut them down.
The Independence Army did not seem to have the intention of fighting head-on with them. After firing a few guns to fight back, they actually moved to the west and came from the wide road to the dense forest. The entire army set out in a simple manner, broke into pieces, and slowly moved towards Zheng Qi's position.
At this time, the cannons that threatened them the most had no effect. After all, everyone hid in the deep mountains and could not determine their location. Moreover, the effectiveness of the cannons hitting these places was very low, far less than fighting on a wide plain. It was precisely because the other side took advantage of this and slowly deployed a lot more military force than them. The team left the plain. Zheng Qi's several cannons hit a few times, but the results were very little. Later, he simply stopped this meaningless attack.
Mountain combat is the most common way of combat. The topography of the mountain is characterized by undulations, inclined slopes, complex geology, height and meteorological conditions, which are quite difficult.
Although concentrating efforts to hit the key points is a general guiding principle for offensive battles, here is a jungle, with enemy troops completely dispersed, and Zheng Qi's troops are far from enough. If he also enters the jungle and fights with the opponent, they will only suffer.
Alliance Frontline Operations Command.
As the highest commanders of the alliance, Zheng Qi and Lin Xian discussed and issued strategic deployment and attack here.
Zheng Qi pointed to the map and said, "They are about 34 kilometers away from us, and under the attack of our shells, their march speed is not very fast, and they probably won't be able to come to us in one day. In this way, their logistics supply has become a big problem, so our attention should be focused on their traffic routes."
Hearing Zheng Qi's plan, He Ximei nodded and said, "This idea is good. They put all their troops into the mountains and forests, and the one that controls the road must be insufficient. When they do this, they think we will enter the battle like them. But if we avoid them, speed up the march, cut off the road behind them, and completely lose their logistics support, it will have a very good effect."
"Is this really feasible? The traffic route behind them is more than 30 kilometers away from us. If we want to attack, we will probably encounter a lot of resistance." Lin Xian said, and he seemed a little worried.
"Mountain wars, traffic roads have a great effect, and there are often fierce competitions." Zheng Qi said, looking at the map, "But they don't value the relaxation of the road now. If we can really seize the time, cut off their back roads, or directly destroy their traffic roads, you see."
Zheng Qi pointed to the map. The Independence Army entered the mountains and forests five or six kilometers from South Wa State. Their rear area belongs to the plains, and several roads passed by the rear. This is definitely a place where they provide support. If it is really cut off, their ammunition will always be completed. Even if they are allowed to break out, the soldiers without bullets will be like tigers without teeth, which is not to be afraid.
"Now we must seize the time and send a large number of troops to the South Wa State army in armored vehicles to the jungle and their rear support position to attack that area. There must be resistance, but we must also attack and catch them off guard," said Zheng Qi. "As for our defense, we are concentrating our strength to wait at the gates that are easy to pass, and don't get too close to each other, and strive to defeat them together when they gather."
"Let me think about it." Lin Xian was still unsure of his mind, or he had to think about it.
His hesitation made Zheng Qi and He Ximei in front of him a little annoyed. It was now, and such a good strategic opportunity was placed in front of him, and he didn't know how to seize it. If it weren't for their own troops that had not finished their training, they could only use a small batch of Tiger Regiment, now they would have just slapped their butts and left and made a fuss.
Young people and the elderly have different ideas. If you have a passionate impulse, you are eager to show your performance when you have a plan, or if you are motivated to fight, it will often have a positive effect. But the older generation will consider more and more comprehensively. But the method of the end is good, who is right and who is wrong, it will take time to verify.
(Trace, it has not been on holiday yet. So the update continues to push back. The next one is a very fierce battle. Basically, after a large number of dress-ups, there will never be such a battle again. So... let me read through the military books and see what strategies can be used in Chinese and foreign history...)...
