Chapter 439: Will you vote?

The Kachin Army really doesn't know how to fight. This was Chen Chen's first reaction after launching the Nankan strategy.

Not only did they fail to set up a reasonable defensive front, they did not even set up any defense on the mountain paths that were obviously suitable for armored vehicles to drive through.

The armored assault battalion of the Dongfeng Corps moved unimpeded in the mountains, drove to the edge of Nankan City without encountering any obstacles, occupied the high ground south of the city, and established a commanding artillery position, while the infantry calmly seized the advantageous points. position and entered within firing range of the Kachin Army.

Now, the entire Nankan city area is covered by the firepower of the Dongfeng Corps. Unless the Kachin are determined to retreat into the city and fight a security war with the Dongfeng Corps, they will have no chance at all.

But how could Chen Chen give them a chance to fight a public security war?

Retreating takes time, and the Dongfeng Corps' high mobility has already determined that the opponent will not have enough time to retreat.

As soon as the two sides met, the two helicopters broke out of the encirclement. Under the cover of long-range heavy firepower and aerial fire suppression, more than 40 commandos were rappelled to a high-rise building on the edge of Nankan City. Heavy machine gun and mortar positions were established on high-rise buildings, directly cutting off the retreat route of the Kachin defenders.

The first wave of retreating Nankan garrison was pushed back in an instant. When they reacted and wanted to use artillery to hit the Dongfang Corps' firepower points and open a retreat path, the Dongfeng Corps' aerial reconnaissance had already locked onto their artillery positions. position, guiding the armored assault battalion to launch a wave of precision strikes against it.

I have to say that the captured T-90 is really useful.

Not only is its firepower fierce, but its defense and mobility are also astonishingly high.

When the opponent did not have enough armor-piercing weapons, it even launched a wave of bicycle breakthroughs, directly tearing apart the Kachin defense line and destroying a mortar position arranged on a high slope!

The Kachin defenders basically failed to make any response. Amidst the rumbling artillery fire, the Dongfeng Corps was overwhelming.

The battle process can even be called lackluster, because they just pushed through and then made dumplings of the thousands of defenders here.

The 4 M2 armored vehicles and 2 T-72 tanks of the Nankan garrison had no chance to enter the battlefield at all, because their targets were so big that they would be locked by the Type 89 destroyer as soon as they showed up.

At the end of the fight, the only remaining T-72 even gave up its forward position and retreated into the city. But the city had long been the territory of the Dongfeng Corps, so where could they hide?

The panicked tank drove into the narrow street. The helicopter in the sky locked its position, guided the assault team to approach from the flank, and used smoke bombs to block all observation lines of the tank.

At the moment when the commander leaned out from the turret and tried to operate the HCBT-style 12.7mm machine gun, the commando who had been waiting for a long time and wore a thermal imaging night vision device shot him dead. Then, just like in many movies, A grenade fell into the tank along the commander's body, killing all members of the tank crew inside the tank.

At this point, all the "advanced equipment" of the Nankan Kachin garrison was scrapped.

Immediately afterwards, in less than half an hour, the Dongfeng Corps completed the final battlefield cleanup, and at this time, only one hour had passed since they launched the attack on Nankan!

Muse's defenders responded, but their response was too slow.

Their team has just been assembled, but the Dongfeng Corps has already finished the battle!

A true blitzkrieg is always final, and it is absolutely impossible to be blocked by a line of defense or a position.

Seeing the Kachin defenders lining up to surrender, Chen Chen, who had arrived at the front line, couldn't help but shake his head.

"Such good equipment, such strong firepower, but they were beaten like this"

"Four M2s and two T-72s. If these things are given to Li Yunlong, Tokyo will be his."

“These prodigal sons of Kachin didn’t even fire a few cannons.”

Hearing Chen Chen's words, Gang Li couldn't help but feel a little amused.

"They didn't have any basic defensive strategy at all, or in other words, they didn't even think that we would attack from this direction."

"The defensive focus is all on the east side. I don't know what the point of that is."

"If it were me, I would focus the defense on the south side because that's the only position where it's likely to be hit."

"What's the purpose of putting it on the east side? Can we still follow the highway and directly bypass Muse to launch an attack?"

“Can’t understand”

"There's nothing to understand."

Chen Chen shook his head and explained:

"This is a typical support preparation formation. On the surface, they are the Nankan garrison, but in fact they are Muse's reserve team."

"Their purpose is not to defend Nankan, but to support Muse."

"So you can see that they were actually ready to move Muse, and we hit them right at their most vulnerable point."

"Anyway, the battle in Nankan is over."

"Be prepared for defense - let Peng Deren be prepared too!"

"clear!"

Li Bang answered immediately, while Chen Chen walked towards the temporary headquarters and looked at the Kachin commander who had been escorted to his position.

The other party's face was completely unconvinced, and Chen Chen was not surprised by his reaction. After all, in his opinion, perhaps the Eastern Corps just "wins without force."

Therefore, Chen Chen didn't care at all. He just looked directly into the other person's eyes and said:

"You have already lost."

"Like Kashaw, you didn't even block one of our attacks."

"I think you don't need to pretend to be a die-hard at this time."

"Reveal any information as soon as possible, including the equipment and defense situation of Muse's defenders."

"The sooner the next battle ends, the smaller your losses will be."

"If you insist on fighting me to the end, it won't do you any good."

"How about it, can you think this through clearly?"

Hearing Chen Chen's words, the Kachin commander turned his head disdainfully, but after a moment, seemingly unable to suppress the anger in his heart, he turned his head again and said:

"You just have the advantage in strength and equipment. If we start a head-on battle, you may not be able to defeat us!"

"This is war."

Chen Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. While answering casually, his hand reached out to the FN57 on his waist.

He knew that in the face of life and death, all so-called "dignity" was nothing but a hypocritical fig leaf.

He didn't believe that the so-called "soldier" in front of him had much backbone, nor did he believe that the other party would be stupid enough to see the situation clearly.

And sure enough, his judgment was correct.

The moment he pulled out the gun, the other party immediately shrank back, with a bit of fear in his eyes.

Obviously, his reputation as a "killer" has already been established, and the other party is just a tough talker, but his body is very honest.

".Don't use the gun."

"I can tell you whatever you want."

The commander's voice was slightly trembling. Chen Chen looked at his expression with satisfaction and put the gun back into the holster.

But what he didn't expect was that even though he had expressed his intention to "cooperate", the other party still refused to give up.

".I only compromised with you for the lives of my men. Don't think that you really won."

"We still have the equipment to support us, and the further north we go, the better equipped we are."

"It's useless even if you know all the information. You can't defeat Bhamo. With your military strength, that's the end of it."

After the words fell, Chen Chen frowned.

"Do you think you really lost out on equipment?"

"Is not it?"

The Kachin commander raised his eyebrows and asked without hesitation.

"Now that we have said this and Muse's reinforcements have not arrived yet, we might as well have a good chat with you while we take advantage of this time."

"Can you tell me, in your opinion, how did you lose?"

Hearing Chen Chen's words, the commander was stunned for a moment. After pondering for a moment, he said:

"You have the advantage of aerial reconnaissance and aerial firepower, mastered a large amount of anti-tank firepower, and also took advantage of our unpreparedness to seize the commanding heights, condescendingly suppressing our counterattack force."

"At this point, we did have some poor decision-making."

"However, this is just a choice on the battlefield - we don't know whether you will attack Muse first or Nankan first. In my opinion, you are more likely to attack Muse first."

"So, I chose to prepare support in advance. This is the real reason why you can win."

"I just lost the bet, not the fight."

"It can even be said that if I had more anti-aircraft firepower or even a helicopter, you wouldn't be able to win!"

"Do you really think so?"

Chen Chen asked funnyly.

"certainly!"

"Under the suppression of such equipment, it is impossible for anyone to win."

"But someone won."

Chen Chen interrupted the commander and then continued:

"I'll give you a chance to reverse roles. You fight me and I'll command your troops."

"This is just a sandbox game. How about it? Do you want to play it or not?"

"Play!"

The commander answered without hesitation, so Chen Chen stopped talking and drew a rough terrain map with tree branches on the ground and said:

"Okay, now, the battle starts when you appear above us."

"You have the upper hand, it's up to you to choose how to fight!"

"First, the helicopter will land and cut off your evacuation route to the city."

The commander immediately replied that the tactical choice was exactly the same as the actual choice of the Dongfeng Corps.

Chen Chen nodded calmly, and then said:

"The Nankan City area is close to 1 kilometer away from our position. The threat of heavy machine gun fire is limited and the amount of mortar ammunition is limited. I choose to ignore your interception force. The entire army shrinks westward to find bunkers and prepare for battle."

Chen Chen's response was the only correct choice. The commander did not raise any objection and continued:

"I will use helicopter reconnaissance and tank destroyers to bombard your artillery positions and destroy your artillery firepower."

"I chose to abandon large-caliber artillery and move quickly with mortars and rocket launchers. At the same time, armored vehicles and tanks evacuated northward, out of the range of tank destroyers, and retained as much force as possible."

"Then you have no artillery capability at all."

The Kachin commander frowned slightly and continued:

"Then I will use the T-90 tank as the vanguard, lead the other tanks and armored vehicles in a mobile assault, and occupy the mortar position on the west side of the position."

It was the same tactic again, but Chen Chen knocked on the ground and said:

"My mortar positions have been moved and you won't find anything there."

The commander raised his head in astonishment, and after a moment, he continued:

"It doesn't matter if you can't find it. I have established close support firepower. My heavy machine guns and smoothbore cannons can shoot directly at your main position to form complete suppression."

"Our main position will not counterattack, and we will fully shrink and hide."

"At the same time, the 'corpse' I deployed in the mortar position on the west side carries anti-tank grenades and RPG rocket launchers to attack your lightly armored units and destroy four of your tank destroyers."

"This is impossible! How is it possible to destroy four vehicles at once!?"

The commander immediately objected. Chen Chen waved his hand nonchalantly and continued:

"It doesn't matter, two cars, that's enough, right?"

"I have an ambush, but you don't have reconnaissance, so you can't escape unscathed. Is that reasonable?"

". Reasonable. I lost two tank destroyers, but all your ambush troops were wiped out. I continued to bombard the main position. At the same time, the infantry advanced under the cover of artillery fire, surrounding your main position from the east, south and west, waiting for opportunities. Attack."

"No problem, we still won't fight back and wait until your infantry gets within 50 meters before shooting."

"At the same time, our mortar and individual anti-tank rocket launcher teams will circle out of the encirclement to the north, use long-range direct fire to destroy the interception force you have deployed in the urban area, and cover the retreat of our armored units towards the urban area."

"If you can't withdraw, we will mobilize 4 tank destroyers and 3 tanks to intercept them. I can at least destroy all the M2 armored vehicles, right?"

"Yes, but in that case, you will only have two tank destroyers and two tanks to cover the infantry on the front battlefield."

"I used individual recoilless rifles to attack and destroy your last two tank destroyers. At the same time, my two tanks had already withdrawn into the city and destroyed your interception force that was suppressed by mortars and failed to complete the withdrawal."

".Your tanks can't get out after entering the city. Three of my tanks stopped you."

"But you can't leave."

Chen Chen looked sharply into the other person's eyes. The latter's brows were already knitted together. After hesitating for a long time, he said:

"I choose to use helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft to suppress fire on the main position, and make a quick decision to destroy your main position defense."

"I will continue to ignore your air strikes. The infantry will move 50 meters forward and engage in a close fight with your infantry."

"You're sending yourself to death!"

"Yes, but your air superiority is useless."

".I rely on the remaining two tanks to attack your main position and destroy your infantry force."

"You haven't dealt with my mortar and anti-tank rocket launcher teams yet. With the help of infantry dogfight cover, I penetrated the tracks of your last two tanks and disabled your last armored force on the main position."

".I mobilized 4 tank destroyers for support."

"Then you are giving it away."

". Then I will leave the tank destroyer to intercept the tanks in the city, and the other three tanks will support it."

"Then you're still sending it."

Chen Chen dropped the wooden stick in his hand and continued:

"The winner is decided now, isn't it?"

".You can't win."

The Kachin commander breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"My troops still have the advantage. Even if I rely on light infantry, I can do it."

"My Muse's reinforcements have arrived."

"You are acting rogue!"

The commander suddenly stood up and then said:

"My equipment has a comprehensive advantage. Your way of playing is to fill it with lives. Not to mention whether the morale of the army will collapse. Even if the morale of the army does not collapse in a last-ditch battle, can human lives be able to fill the gap in equipment?"

"This is absolutely impossible, you."

Speaking of this, he suddenly became a little depressed.

"Forget it, the beating is over, there's nothing more to say."

"I can't prove it to you because we can't fight again."

"Why fight again?"

Chen Chen stood up, looked condescendingly at the Kachin commander who had lost the battle but was unwilling to admit it with a mocking look, and said:

"I happen to know a battle case that is more than 80% similar to the battle between us this time."

"It's also an equipment generation difference - no, there is no equipment generation difference between our two sides, but the two sides in that battle really did."

"And, compared to what we just deduced, the defender's situation is more dangerous."

"They are short of guns and ammunition. Among the division-level support firepower, the only anti-tank equipment they have is rocket launchers and recoilless rifles. However, their enemies have 24 advanced fighter jets, 52 tanks, and more than 50 large-caliber artillery pieces, which are all used up. Ammunition!"

"Before the start of each battle, the attacker must prepare firepower for at least four hours on the defender's position, and the entire hilltop will be shaved off one layer."

"While fighting, the defending troops even had to collect enemy weapons and ammunition."

"It was under such circumstances that the defenders only relied on the strength of one battalion to hold off the attackers for two whole days!"

"The main defense force of the defenders was only one battalion with less than 500 men, but the number of enemies they wiped out was 700!"

"At the end of the battle, the entire regiment was almost completely empty. In the end, only three and a half companies were left, and the battalion that fought head-on only had two people left."

"Do you know how they fought?"

After Chen Chen finished speaking, the Kachin commander fell completely silent.

After a long time, he finally said:

"That is a battle example that cannot be replicated."

"It's really not replicable."

Chen Chen did not refute, but continued:

"I'm not trying to tell you that I can replicate their feats back then."

"I just want to say that if you can do half of them, half of them, even a little bit of it, you still have a chance to stop us."

"But you can't."

"So, surrender is your only way out."

"Now, tell me, will you surrender?"
