Chapter 122

offensive

At noon the day when Zheng Qi took over command, he held a meeting and brought back all the officers who participated in the war.

Although it included all the officers, the number was not large, with only a dozen people in total. In this huge office, there were more than a dozen people sitting in a sparsely, and there was no one talking, and the quiet atmosphere seemed a little deserted.

However, everyone was preparing very seriously. For nothing else, just their supreme commander came, they would not be careless. Moreover, Zheng Qi was also a rigorous person, especially when dealing with war. So everyone dared not be lazy, otherwise it would be a small matter to be scolded and delayed the fighter plane, which would be a violation of military law.

"You can explain to me in detail about the progress of the joint war in recent times." Zheng Qi sat in the first place, looked at everyone and said lightly.

"Let me summarize it first." As the commander, He Ximei was naturally the first person to speak. "The alliance dispatched a total of 120,000 troops this time, and the battle locations were distributed west of Myanmar and southwest, with the focus on Yangon, a military important military location in the south. Most of the cities in the east that have been controlled have not yet involved combat in the north. The central city of Mitela is currently the most concentrated place for our troops."

"I am responsible for the battle in the southwest, at present..." Another officer stood up, and Zheng Qi looked up at him. His outfit was not from the Tiger Regiment. Those who could sit here seemed to be an officer of the subordinate troops.

...

After a meeting, Zheng Qi mastered the latest combat situation.

In general, the most urgent goal of the group of alliance forces is to attack Yangon and strive for the greatest victory. Compared with other regions, they do not attach much importance to it, and even the capital of Myanmar, which is very close to them, is ignored. Although the capital is relatively close to them, it is relatively narrow and the transportation line is not developed. Compared with the government forces, they are at a disadvantage in attacking it. Therefore, most of the troops are concentrated in the southwest direction, preparing to have a big battle with the government forces.

"If we can increase the investment in troops, we may be able to speed up the attack to cities near Yangon."

"We have a very big advantage now. With effective air defense measures, the air forces of both sides are basically paralyzed, and only ours still maintain an absolute advantage. We speed up the pace and lead others, and I believe this war will not be too difficult." Another said.

After hearing this, Zheng Qi just shook his head. He disagreed.

The officers present looked at me and I was a little confused. Even the officers who were preparing to give their opinions had confirmed their butts that were about to leave the stool and straightened their waists.

No one spoke, Zheng Qi waited in the seat for a while, and then his eyes returned to the conference table.

"No one has any comments?" he wondered.

They all shook their heads, and He Ximei smiled slightly. Obviously, they were still quite restrained in the face of Zheng Qi. If they were just having a meeting with He Ximei, they might have been more relaxed. But facing this god who forged the myth of the Tiger Regiment, some of them were not from the Tiger Regiment, but had heard of Zheng Qi's ruthless name, and had never seen him many times, and were a little cautious. In addition, there were only those who had followed Zheng Qi to conquer the world, and those people had a deep blind admiration for Zheng Qi. Once they saw Zheng Qi shaking their heads, they naturally felt a little pressure and naturally put some thoughts in their hearts.

"Your ideas are all very good." Zheng Qi said, shaking his head did not mean that their ideas were wrong, "but there is one thing you didn't expect."

Zheng Qi put his elbow on the table and stretched out a finger. Everyone present focused.

"Note that Yangon is a military city in Myanmar. Its vicinity is also the base camp of their army, air force and navy, and it is stationed in Myanmar's most troops. The transportation in that area is very convenient, so there is no need to say much about mobile operations, but think about it, it is not a good strategy to concentrate all the troops in front of them and then have a direct face-to-face battle with the government forces."

"Looking at the military history, both at home and abroad, there are very few examples of launching large-scale direct battles and winning a complete victory. How can I say that the head-on confrontation between troops and forces, I generally don't like this. It's like two people holding an egg in their hands and then fighting each other head-on to see which egg is harder. Your current thinking is similar to the example of smashing eggs."

Many people smiled embarrassedly. After all, they performed much stronger than other armies during the battle, and everything was the best. So naturally, they unilaterally underestimated the enemy's strength and believed that they were just like this. Therefore, as the enemy retreated step by step, they developed the thinking of a face-to-face decisive battle.

"Indirect Route" He Ximei said that she could be said to be a person who knows Zheng Qi very well, so she naturally knows what he meant.

"Yes, we have to take the indirect route." Zheng Qi nodded.

Everyone understood that this was Zheng Qi's usual style. When the enemy and us were equal in strength, or the enemy's strength was stronger than our own, the strategic methods he had always adopted were indirect routes and never had real face-to-face direct struggles with the enemy.

"Skinny Monkey, based on the information you have obtained, where is the next move of our allies?"

"They plan to continue to go east and drive towards Minwu area, and then attack Yangon with the open terrain and convenient transportation routes there. The dense cities along the way can just provide them with some supplies." said the Skinny Monkey.

"West?" Zheng Qi expanded the map. Obviously, the road to Yangon was divided into two halves by a forest. The half was close to the east of Thailand. It was very close to Zheng Qi, but the traffic was not advantageous. Moreover, the road would pass through the capital of Myanmar, Bidu, and the defense would definitely be very strict. On the other side, it was the west, which was relatively developed. They chose this route to attack, obviously considering the transportation of vehicles.

"We attacked the east side, and the first one was to take the capital of Myanmar, then headed south to attack the Yangon region." Zheng Qi said that he chose a unique route, and he also took a relatively remote east side, which was completely different from the direction taken by the alliance troops.

"The battle begins immediately and you can use all your force. We need time now, it is best to complete it within three days." Zheng Qi did not mean to speak to others. He gave formal orders and expressed his determination. Naypyid is the capital of Myanmar. Although his military strength is far less than Yangon, his defense is actually very strict. If he wants to attack, and he dares to limit time when the number of people is not superior, he is probably only Zheng Qi's troops dare to do this. If other troops were not so proud.

"The meeting is over now"

...

Zheng Qi's decision was abrupt, and many people were a little puzzled, but they wondered, almost no one could guess what their commander thoughts were. The previous few battles alone were enough to prove that they thought that these were purely unnecessary, so it would be better to spend more time to prepare for them.

But there are not many people who can understand it. He Ximei is one of them. She knew that the path Zheng Qi was going to take was not actually attacking the government army and occupying their cities, but to get the government army to recognize it and negotiate with them first. But to attack them in order to get their recognition, it is a dangerous move. However, in the current situation, only taking risks can bring their ideas faster.

In this way, when their allies were catching up on the southwestern cities, the Tiger Regiment drew most of its people, turned aside, and attacked the eastern part of Myanmar again, and used the large firepower they could use to directly threaten the cities there.

...

The shells flew rapidly in the sky, rubbing violently with the air and made sharp whistles. The laser-calibrated shells hit the first city they needed to attack. They are also the capital of a country.

I'm afraid Zheng Qi would never think of this anyway—one day, he would command a large number of troops to attack the capital of a country, and he would occupy it in a short time.

This idea is too crazy. It is far beyond his original idea of ​​simply fighting for the Golden Triangle. Looking at the actions he has made now, attacking a capital is simply to directly overthrow the rule of a country's ruling class with the most powerful force.

Zheng Qi probably made the boldest decision this time. He also gambled a lot and used all the troops of the Tiger Regiment, with nearly 5,000 people. Although the number of people is small, these are all elites.

Look at the equipment of their army - mortars with different caliber, more than 300 howitzers attack, 200 infantry fighting vehicles, 100 Type 2 152mm self-propelled howitzers, 50 sa-13 surface-to-air missile armored vehicles, 60 m270 rocket launchers, 50 Leopard 2a6 tanks, 50 tank support vehicles. 30 Mi-24d armed helicopters, 30 Mi-28n armed helicopters, 50 transport helicopters, other transport vehicles and supply vehicles cannot be calculated for the time being, and individual rockets and missiles cannot be calculated... Apart from these, they are equipped with the most exquisite individual equipment, and each of them is equipped with bulletproof vests, and they are covered with the required weapons and equipment.

Let’s take a look at Myanmar’s Type 63, Type 69, and Type 80 tanks, but these are not advanced tanks. Their opponent is the Leopard 2a6 tanks guarded by the support vehicle. As the world’s top tanks, the Myanmar government forces only have these tanks destroyed. Moreover, their troops cannot be concentrated to fight against Zheng Qi.

The government army's howitzers are mostly 7 and 88mm caliber, and there are only a dozen 140mm caliber. In addition, there are some poor anti-aircraft guns, rocket launchers, tank guns, etc., and even the number of missiles to air is very pitiful. The Tiger Regiment has almost 152mm self-propelled howitzers, and they use laser-guided shells. There are also rocket launchers with large-scale attacks, which are also incomparable.

As for air power, except for a dozen fighter jets, the rest cannot be taken out at all.

Amid the orange-red flames and violent explosions, the military defense base of this capital city was gradually covered by black smoke. After a round of attacks in the air, the armed helicopters began to calibrate the ballistics for self-propelled howitzers more than ten kilometers away. Since most of the used were guided shells, the attack on important enemy military facilities was very accurate. Often before the enemy could mobilize ammunition or transfer the front line, they sadly discovered that weapons with great power such as armored vehicles and artillery were hit by the shells flying over by the opponent and were completely destroyed.

"Pay attention to the enemy's counterattack, the troops do not need to be concentrated at one point"

"Pay attention to calibrating the ballistics of the shells... Most of the enemy's troops are now concentrated, and helicopters must give full play to their air superiority."

In the command office, Zheng Qi stood in front of the map, with his hands behind his back, and gave orders one after another. The twenty soldiers beside him were busy and sweating profusely. The battle situation has reached the most intense moment and the most critical moment. Although it is just a command center, you can still hear the sound of artillery fire in the distance that is almost continuous and has never stopped. Similarly, they also felt the strong fighting atmosphere.

...

"Report to the commander, the enemy troops in the west began to retreat in large numbers, and they are now unable to form effective combat power."

"Report to the sir, most of the enemy's air force has been destroyed, and most of the armored vehicles of the ground troops have been eliminated."

"Report to the commander, our tank team is moving forward and is in direct contact with the enemy."

...

"Report to the chief, frontline battle report, the north side of the capital has been captured"

"Okay" Zheng Qi suddenly roared. They captured the north side of the capital. That is, they opened the most critical door like a sharp knife. After tearing open the enemy's armor, they exposed his white chest. As long as they stabbed in with one knife, the enemy would surely die.

Zheng Qi took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement. It was the first time he captured a capital city, not only him, but everyone was the first time.

"How is the evacuation problem of residents?" Zheng Qi looked up and asked after calming down.

"The current population stranded in the city is no more than 50,000, and most of it has been moved out. No civilians have been found in the main war zones." A soldier straightened his waist and reported that it was undoubtedly the most glorious moment.

"Where is the air force of the enemy?" Zheng Qi asked again. There was originally a civil airport and a military airport nearby, but due to the full-scale civil war, the civil airport was requisitioned and changed to a military airport. Not only here, all airports in the Myanmar civil war zone were requisitioned. Now there are at least people who can come in from the outside world. The most common ones are some international journalists. In order to obtain first-hand information, they rushed to the front line, traveling through artillery fire and smoke, and making jokes about their lives.

"At present, the enemy was shot down more than 20 aircraft by our missiles, including 15 armed helicopters, 5 fighter jets, and 2 reconnaissance aircraft. In addition, our armed helicopter group at the front also shot down many enemy military helicopters. It is estimated that their air power has been paralyzed now."

"Yes," Zheng Qi held his chin and nodded.

"Listen, now the battalion concentrates its forces to attack the west of the city." Zheng Qi said, "and then send special forces to infiltrate the southern rear of the enemy's city and completely cut off their connection with the west. Our ground armored forces will now go directly into the city, paying attention to the cooperation of air forces."

"I understand, sir," the soldier said loudly.

"I hope I can capture this city tonight."

Zheng Qi accelerated the offensive and originally planned to attack the capital before noon the next day, but the battle is going very smoothly now, with almost no resistance from the enemy, and they have always been in a scene of retreating step by step. Perhaps the military government has been working in vain all these years, and they are actually such a group of garbage soldiers under their command.

But things can also be classified as if they encountered elite troops. In this area, Zheng Qi mobilized nearly 5,000 Tiger Regiment troops and equipped the best weapons they could use. The Tiger Regiment has always been a place where Zheng Qi specializes in training the main force. It contains some superhuman special forces, as well as some newly trained ordinary special soldiers, and the best equipment is also distributed, so there is no need to mention the combat power.

There were still seven or eight thousand troops under the Tiger Regiment, but he did not mobilize this time to the battle, and all of them stuffed them to the west, playing games with the group of alliance troops, creating the illusion that Zheng Qi's large army was still concentrated in the west.
