Chapter 270 War begins
Everything was arranged properly, and the offensive against the 505th Brigade was in the final preparation stage.
Everyone began to feel the tense atmosphere, and the training intensity of the Dongfeng Corps became increasingly intense.
However, unlike everyone else, Shi Dakai acted extremely relaxed, which was completely inconsistent with his usual pessimism.
He was just training and preparing step by step. During his break, he even had time to play with Li Bang's sister and check the homework she brought back from school.
Chen Chen was also surprised by his performance, but when he thought about it, he was an old man, so what the heck.
The less nervous he is, the more confident they are in this operation. In a sense, this is a good thing.
Time passes day by day, and the progress of the arsenal is not too fast, but in the end it can still meet the basic requirements.
By the 15th day, the number of modified rockets had reached 3,000. Chen Chen organized the first test launch, and the effect was frightening.
——
It's really scary.
The CL-20 Xu You had hoarded was finally used, and the explosive power, which far exceeded that of RDX, also exerted its powerful power.
Due to volume limitations, the maximum charge of the BL-1A rocket can only be 180 grams, which is only equivalent to the charge of five Type 67 grenades. However, judging from the damage to the humanoid target in the target area, this 180-gram charge , the killing effect reaches at least the level of 600 grams of TNT.
The entire target within a 10-meter radius was swept by the shock wave, and the fragile human-shaped target even broke into pieces.
This kind of lethality is no longer comparable to ordinary offensive grenades.
In addition to charges for pure blasting and killing, this batch of 3,000 rockets was mainly filled with incendiary agents including picric acid, thermite, and even white phosphorus in accordance with Chen Chen's requirements.
The reason is very simple. The BL-1A rocket warhead is made of fiberglass, and the damage caused by fragments is extremely limited.
If it is only filled with TNT, the explosion damage can only rely on shock waves, and the killing effect is relatively average.
During the subsequent modification work, everyone at the arsenal discovered that artificially filling fragments would affect the flight stability of the rocket. So after weighing the matter, Chen Chen finally decided to return to his old profession.
Set fire, set fire!
I just don’t know if the 505th Brigade will be able to organize a counterattack when these more than 3,000 "rockets" really fly over the head of the 505th Brigade?
Maybe you can only know this question by asking Zhao Jialiang in person.
——
Of course, while Chen Chen was making intensive preparations, the 505th Brigade and the Burmese Army were not idle either.
The sanctions had failed and the deadlock in Jingdong could not be broken. They immediately came up with new tactics to weaken the coalition's power.
That is, psychological tactics.
They trumpeted the power of the 505th Brigade and belittled the coalition forces, trying to make coalition soldiers lose confidence.
I have to say that this trick is quite useful. After all, most of the "militiamen" on the coalition side have not gone to school. The only criterion for evaluating the strength of combat effectiveness is to see who has more people.
For a time, the coalition forces showed signs of moral turmoil.
But this kind of turmoil in military morale quickly disappeared without a trace.
Because another batch of body armor was distributed.
Along with the body armor, there was also radio communication equipment that these soldiers had never played with before!
It's not a high-end product, just a walkie-talkie that sells for more than 100 yuan in the north.
But the question is, when did these soldiers who were serving as soldiers and eating food have such treatment?
When the channel of the walkie-talkie was adjusted, and when they clearly heard the instructions from their squad leader and responded through the walkie-talkie, the morale of the coalition suddenly changed.
Because everyone realized that what they were going to fight was a completely different battle from the previous "gun fights".
Can you win?
they do not know.
But they know that their commander really fucking wants to win!
This is enough!
As a result, the military morale stabilized again, and with the arrival of a large number of rocket launchers, the military morale of the coalition forces has reached the peak of "sharpening the sword."
They couldn't wait to chop something and test the edge of their swords.
Restlessness began to spread, and Chen Chen knew that such emotions would be the best help for subsequent operations.
The fight is about to begin.
Meanwhile, Tachilei.
Still in that absolutely inconspicuous unit building, Zhao Jialiang was sitting on the sofa, listening to the adjutant's report.
".All the teams are ready and our morale is very high now."
"The total number of troops that can be mobilized is 4,200, led by four regiment commanders."
"According to the scheduled combat plan, we will simultaneously launch an attack on the Palau defense line. It will take one to two days to capture Palau, join the Burmese army in Kengtung, and launch an attack on the Meng Bin defense line in the west."
"The equipment has been repaired and maintained, and a total of 11 armored vehicles in the armored company are ready."
"With the advantage of mobility, we will prioritize defeating Mengbin, disarm the 756th Brigade, then turn around and attack the northern front, penetrate the Wanwei defense line, and finally head to Mengka."
"The Burmese army will cooperate with our actions. They will launch a full-scale offensive in the Mengxiu area to disperse the strength of the 7th Brigade and create fighter opportunities for us."
“In general, our plan is quite solid and can definitely be called ‘step by step’.”
"I think the risk of this battle is relatively low. We are far superior to the enemy in terms of equipment and numbers."
"If we still can't win, then I really don't know what to say."
After hearing the adjutant's words, Zhao Jialiang nodded slightly.
After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly asked:
"Most of our intelligence network in the Mengka area has been destroyed. So far, the intelligence we have obtained has been reduced to less than 20% of the original."
"This is not good. We have no way to grasp the enemy's movements in real time."
"I want to confirm whether the other party has made any new changes during this period? Or, have they made any moves beyond our expectations?"
"No."
The adjutant shook his head and replied:
"The Dongfeng Corps has imported a large amount of equipment from Mongla. According to our observation, this batch of equipment is mainly body armor."
"By the way, there are still a few rockets, but they shouldn't be many."
"rocket missile?"
Zhao Jialiang frowned and continued to ask:
"How could they get rockets from the north? Isn't that unreasonable?"
"I also think it's unreasonable. I feel that this should be the result of the intervention of the Wa State - it is impossible for the north to provide rockets to the coalition forces, but the Wa State itself has some rockets."
"They may just be borrowing the name of the north to put pressure on us."
"In fact, we also used our connections in Mongla to confirm that there were no records of imported military rockets during this period. In other words, even if they could obtain them, they would most likely have been smuggled in through some illegal means."
"The number will definitely not be too large. Maybe one or two hundred rounds? This is the limit."
"Then there's no problem."
Zhao Jialiang breathed a long sigh of relief.
One or two hundred rockets should be enough to establish a stronghold.
However, in a battle between the two armies, this number is really not enough to fill the gap between the teeth.
It is really a bit of a dream to rely on this piece of equipment to solve the problem of the strength gap between the two sides.
Thinking of this, a smile finally appeared on his lips.
Then, he spoke:
"Get ready."
"Three days later, we officially broke camp and set off."
"More than half of this year has passed, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will soon be here."
"Tell the people below that we will fight as far as northern Shan State and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Monkha!"
