Chapter 1928: Psychological warfare

After the 325 European Armored Division failed to attack the river mouth suddenly, the three tank regiments chose to retreat and returned to a relatively safe area.
On the frontal battlefield, after the 57th Army reorganized by the Pu system entered the battlefield, the two active enemy regiments in the Naypyidaw area ceased to attack, but did not retreat, and only moved in the defeated defense zone.
The 57th Army did not choose to counterattack in order to buy time for the follow-up units of the Pu family.
...
A few hours later, it was more than eight o'clock in the morning the next morning.
War correspondents from the official media of the five districts went to the division headquarters of the 325 European Armored Division to prepare to interview the commander Jiang Hanshan.
The team of war reporters, after setting up long guns and short cannons in the conference room, waited for nearly ten minutes before Jiang Hanshan appeared and sat in the interview position.
The main reporter was a man. He asked Jiang Hanshan to install radio equipment before he asked: "General, can you start?"
"Yes." Jiang Hanshan intervened and nodded blankly.
When the voice fell, the camera pointed at the two people, and the photographer made an ok gesture. The male reporter had a serious face and asked without writing, "General Jiang Hanshan, what do you think of the current war situation?"
"Obviously, we have already occupied an overwhelming advantage." Jiang Hanshan spoke openly to the reporter: "The direction of the sea, the naval forces of the seven districts, facing the top combat fleet we have in the Yam region, is not at all. Dare to fight head-on and have been retreating, and has now retreated to the outskirts of Hekou Port, out of the attack range of our fleet. This shows that the naval forces in the Seventh District have no confidence in the Sichuan Independent First Division. They don’t believe it. This miscellaneous army can completely defend the Hekou Port."
The male reporter was taking notes and nodded: "You continue."
"On the land battlefield, the 56th Army of the Pu system has been completely defeated. Their grassroots combat units are no longer established and they were formally withdrawn from the battlefield by the headquarters of the Pu system. However, the newly added 57th Army has suffered a major attack before. The situation of large-scale defection and mutiny is a combat unit that has been reorganized in the past two years, and its combat power has long since been at its peak. Our armored division is confident that it will be defeated within three days."
"According to your statement, will this battle in the Old Triangle Area end soon?" the male reporter asked again.
"This is inevitable." Jiang Hanshan replied with an extremely firm and strong attitude: "The so-called coalition forces, on the surface, seem huge, but in fact they are vulnerable. Except for the Northwest advance army of the Gu family stationed at Sanfeng Mountain, other troops, Most of them are miscellaneous, without fighting toughness. They fear our planes, tanks, and artillery. Under our fierce attack, their commanders choose tactics mainly based on guerrilla, defense, and time delay. I don’t know. How did the Eight Districts and Chuan Prefecture train officers, but their brigade-level and above officers, in my army, may not be qualified to serve as a company commander. They don't have the courage necessary for a soldier!"
"You said that, are you a little too underestimating the enemy and despising the enemy's army?" the male reporter asked bluntly.
"I didn't despise them. The war is cruel. To win respect, you must have an advantage and an attitude on the battlefield." Jiang Hanshan shook his head: "And I don't see the other side's attitude at the moment. They have been there since the war started. Retreat."
"But as far as I know, when your three tank regiments attacked the estuary area last night, they were blocked by a miscellaneous brigade in your mouth. The two sides fought fiercely for several hours. In the end, your tank regiment retreated. How to explain this?" The question asked by the male reporter was very sharp.
"This is just a tentative attack by our tank regiment. The tactical purpose is to test the opponent's defensive strength and firepower." Jiang Hanshan still replied plainly: "Retreating does not mean that we have failed, it is only a part of the tactics. And the facts are. In the early morning attack last night, the enemy’s 121 brigade was at least 1,500 attenuated in combat. Their brigade commander hid in the trenches, only watching their soldiers sacrifice and die one by one. What way. The loss of our tank regiment is almost negligible for the regiment."
The male reporter paused, helped his glasses and asked: "Do you think your speech today is a bit provocative?"
"I don't think so. Normally stating the war situation so that our people can understand their own troops and have confidence in the military power of their own region is something that every soldier should be proud of." Jiang Hanshan said. Tough, looking at the camera and saying: "Here, I also advise the hostile military and political snobbery. The results of the military dispute in the old triangle are already very obvious. The military and political forces of the eight districts have officially withdrawn from the old triangle. It is the best policy. Continue to fight, and the tragedy of Jinmen Port may repeat itself in the Menghan and Hekou areas. Our tank group will destroy every inch of their defense zone, and their soldiers will die in a meaningless war. In the end, this battle will definitely end in a total victory in the five districts!"
...
The content of this interview, after being approved by the news unit of the highest military and political department of the five districts, was continuously published and reported in the media of various regions around the world. And Jiang Hanshan's speech and the image of military personnel have also been criticized by many anti-war activists in the European Union. Many people think that his speech is too cold-blooded, he is a war fanatic who has lost his moral bottom line.
However, there are also radical parties who support Jiang Hanshan and believe that the tough military attitude of the five districts is the demeanor of the district.
These controversies did not affect Jiang Hanshan. After the interview, he immediately mobilized troops.
noon.
In the dining room of the Gu Family Headquarters in District 8, Gu Tai'an watched the report while eating. He was so angry that he fell the tablet directly.
"His grandmother!" Gu Tai'an stood up with flushed face and gritted his teeth and cursed: "After fighting for so long, so that the other party can bring up the Jinmen Port incident again, what did all the commanders on the front line do for them?! It is true that you are not even qualified to be a company commander!"
The generals in the room heard Gu Tai'an's curse, but no one took the initiative to answer.
"Fetch me the Sichuan First Independent Division, right away!" Gu Tai'an yelled at the communications officer.
Two minutes later ~EbookFREE.me~ the call is connected.
"Fuck, are you lying at Hekou Port to lay eggs?" Gu Tai'an was really anxious, and asked with a trembling voice, "Have you seen the report?"
"Look." Qin Yu immediately replied: "I also talked to Commander Gu on the phone just now. We think Jiang Hanshan is deliberately provoking, and he is leading us to fight back in order to open the deadlock."
"Mom, there are hundreds of thousands of them, and you have hundreds of thousands! They all carry guns. Why do you let him bluff him?!" Gu Tai'an yelled, pointing to the ground, "I don't care about him. Was it deliberately provoking? Even if he buried hundreds of millions of tons of bombs in Nay Pyi Taw, you must counterattack them before 6 o’clock tonight and screw off that Jiang Hanshan’s head and hang it on me. On Sanfeng Mountain, do you understand?!"
"understood."
"A war can't be won by cowering. Let it go and do it. If you lose this battle, you have to give me energy. When the stalemate continues, ten years later, there may be a million armies in my eight districts, one of them. Can there be a fusion zone?" Gu Tai'an glared and roared: "Resolutely fight back, kill me that Jiang Hanshan, immediately!"
