District 9

In the headquarters of the Pu Army Corps, Chief of General Staff Balai said solemnly: "The situation on the frontier battlefield is already very clear. The main force of the 56th Army must not be able to withstand the impact of two large-scale enemy corps. I personally feel that support There is no point anymore, we have to move the defense back."

"The problem is that if we shrink the defense line and make an opening on the east side of Naypyitaw, the other side's two corps can continue to advance inland. By then, the front line will be too long, and the Sanfeng Mountain battlefield and the river mouth area may be occupied. The enemy troops are attacking from both sides..." Another army commander stood up and said: "In this way, the defense areas of Sichuan Mansion, Eighth District, and our Pu Department will be fully reduced. It’s going to collapse.”

"Our Ura faction is passively participating in this battle. To put it bluntly, whether Yandao can be taken down or not is of little practical significance to us. At present, the reason why we choose to carry out military counterattacks in inland areas is that There is nothing we can do, because we are already tied to the Eighth District. If we don't open fire, it will definitely not work." Balai frowned and said: "However, the leaders of this battle should be the Eighth District, the Seventh District, and the Sichuan Mansion. We There is no reason to be cannon fodder and face the opponent's siege of nearly 90,000 troops with such heavy losses. This will shake the foundation of our Pu clan."

"Yes, I agree with the General Staff of Bale." A senior general stood up and said: "The 90,000 main force in the fifth area attacked our defense area. It is obvious that they want to use us as a breakthrough. And with our current strength and strength , there is absolutely no way to withstand the opponent's round-robin attack on our own. It is a very stupid decision to continue to defend the defense area. We should immediately call the northwest advance army of the Gu Department and the Qin Department troops of the Sichuan Prefecture to ask them to reinforce the front of our defense area. .”

"Yes, they are the main force and the initiators of the battle, so they must shoulder the task of a tough battle."

In the headquarters conference room, the pro-eighth district faction headed by Pu Xingbang held a tough counterattack attitude. However, the old-school people led by Balai and Laoyou believe that the protagonist of this battle is the Eighth District and the Sichuan government, not the Pu clique. They have no reason to be cannon fodder and intercept the enemy's 90,000-strong attacking corps at the expense of their base.

After a quarrel, Pu Xiazi gave the order, ordering the 56th Army and the follow-up troops who went to increase the number of troops to shrink the defense line across the board, withdraw two hundred kilometers first, regroup the troops, and rest temporarily.

…

Half an hour later.

Sanfeng Mountain, Gu Department's command room.

Gu Yan glared and shouted: "The 56th Army withdrew?!"

"Yes, the Pu Department Headquarters has issued an order to order the 56th Army to retreat two hundred kilometers back." Xiao Ke replied.

Gu Yan slammed his fist on the table and said in a cold voice: "At the critical moment, this foreign aid is unreliable! There are 60,000 to 70,000 people in the Pu Department, and they couldn't even hold on for ten fucking hours. How can I fight the battle that follows? !Between Hekou and Sanfeng Mountain is an arch-shaped defensive line, with Pu system in the middle. If they withdraw, we will collapse if we don’t get along well with these two points.”

Xiao Ke thought for a while and replied: "We must increase our troops in the direction of Pu Clan, otherwise they will retreat steadily and we will have no space with the Independent First Division. If we continue to defend at the mouth of the river and Sanfeng Mountain, we will suffer Attacked from two points from the front and side, it is easy to be beaten into a lone army."

After Gu Yan thought about it for a while, he immediately ordered: "You and Uncle Teng's two divisions, immediately withdraw from the Sanfeng Mountain battlefield and move towards the Pu Department defense area. We cannot let the other side push forward any more."

"Where's the Sichuan Mansion?"

"They can't move there, otherwise the mouth of the river will be ripped open, and 90,000 people from the other side will rush in together, and no one can stop them." Gu Yan said quickly; "Immediately send an order to mobilize the troops to move towards the Pu system."

…

Jin Shengnan's combat ideas are actually very sophisticated.

The total strength of Sichuan Mansion, District Eight, the Pu faction of the Old Triangle, and the Navy of District Seven is actually no worse than that of District Five, but the bad thing is that there are too many command units in this coalition.

The Seventh District Naval Headquarters independently commands maritime operations; the Sichuan Independent First Division headquarters directs operations in the river mouth area; and the Gu Department is responsible for Sanfeng Mountain, plus a Pu Department who is only willing to fire within the defense zone. This coalition has four command centers.

The four command centers not only control a dozen fists responsible for hitting the enemy, but each also has its own ideas. For example, the Seventh District Navy, they are the protagonists of this battle, so any decisive battle plans this group of people have must be passed to the upper-level people in the Seventh District as soon as possible, and they will be passed on to the old guys far away from the battlefield. , make the final decision, and then communicate with the customer department.

For another example, the Pu faction was "forced" to participate in the war, and they were somewhat reluctant. They did not want to serve as cannon fodder and fight against the fifth district desperately. Because taking Yandao or avenging Jinmen Port... are not of particularly great significance to them.

And with the support of the Eighth District and Sichuan Mansion, the old triangle area cannot be abandoned. The five districts will at most withdraw their troops after the battle. Therefore, they are unwilling to mobilize the entire Pu family to fight for the Eighth District at the expense of shaking their own foundation.

Therefore, the experienced Jin Shengnan mastered the key to military attack. He knew that the coalition forces each had their own ideas, so he chose the weakest link and carried out the strongest blow.

For the fifth district, their command method is very simple. Jin Shengnan, the brain, controls the two fists and puts the most powerful blow at the key position.

…

After Pu's 56th Army withdrew from the frontal battlefield, the two enemy armies launched alternating attacks with overwhelming force, advancing into the interior of the Old Triangle area as quickly as possible.

As a result, the maritime combat fleet of Region 7, which was originally preparing to fire at the Navy of Region 5, could only pull back. Because they were afraid that Hekou Port would fall and if their side was too close, they would suffer a devastating blow.

In the Hekou forward defense zone, Daya looked at the military intelligence coming back from the Pu battlefield and said with a frown: "If we continue to fight like this, we will have to retreat. As the defense zone has not been attacked, it will be abandoned."

"There is nothing we can do about it. It is impossible for the Pu clique to risk their lives to help the three major districts block the opponent's nearly 90,000 main troops... Retreating is an inevitable result." the chief of staff replied.

Daya thought about it for a long time and immediately replied: "You are responsible for the defense here. I will go to the division headquarters."

District Eight.

Gu Tai'an slapped the table and cursed: "Damn it, we have been preparing for the war for almost five years, and hundreds of thousands of troops at the front were beaten to the point of retreating in less than a day? Gu Yan and Qin Yu, these two bastards, are they? How did you direct it?!"

No one from the headquarters dared to answer the call.

Gu Tai'an turned around and immediately waved his hand to say hello: "Inform Commander Lin Yaozong that there is no need to keep an eye on the ninth district. Let the main force of the World War II district warm up for me and prepare to enter the battlefield."
