Chapter 690: Bad news again and again

"Leibo has compressed Jue Xintai into several buildings in the center of Savin Yangbin town, and has just shot down four helicopters from Mandalay. It is only a matter of time before the situation is completely controlled. Lei Tao's The attack has just been launched, and the outcome of the battle has not yet been determined, but he has already released the drone. I believe there will be a specific battle report in a while, and the timing is just right." Lin Mingxian read the several telegrams on the table, yes. Xie Li, who was meditating in front of the battle map, concluded.
"It's my turn." Xie Li turned around and smiled slightly, straightened his military cap, and said to Lin Mingxian: "Then, Chief of Staff Lin, I'll leave it to you here."
Lin Mingxian solemnly saluted Xie Li and said: "Don't worry."
Xie Li gave a gift, and then stretched out his hand to shook Lin Mingxian vigorously, turned and walked out of the door of the tent that was used as the temporary headquarters.
Lin Mingxian turned around and watched Xie Li's tall back figure leave. There was a brief commotion outside the tent. The running sound of soldiers was mixed with the sound of gathering numbers, followed by the sound of a few jeep launches, soon , Everything returned to silence.
...
"General, this is the latest report."
Ai Suo carefully handed the sorted information to Dan Rui, and he found that in just a few hours, Dan Rui's eye socket had sunk deeply.
"Let's talk about it, what's the situation now."
Than Rui didn't go to receive the report, but he took a sip from the water cup and said softly in a voice full of exhaustion.
"Yes, General." Although he was full of unwillingness, at this moment, he could only play the role of a crow reporting bad news: "As for Savin Yangbin, our army still controls several buildings around the town center. The four helicopters that Dele went to for reinforcement before take off were all shot down. No one was spared. The commander Jue Xintai was seriously injured, fell into a severe coma, and lost his command ability. The first lieutenant Maung Maung Lun was killed in action. He is currently the armored company commander. Deng Danwen took over the command. He just called and reported that he had just repelled another round of the enemy's offensive, but he expected that the next round of the enemy's offensive would be launched again in at most half an hour. He also said... …"
As Ai Suo saw the general's hand trembling slightly, he couldn't help swallowing, there was a short pause in his voice, and Dan Rui asked dissatisfiedly: "What else did he say, don't dare, hurry up, you are a soldier. , Don’t you understand this?"
"Yes, General, he also said that he will swear to live and die with the position, but hope that the general can take care of his family in the future."
Dan Rui's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice: "Go and ask Deng Danwen, how the enemy shot our helicopter down, and, by the way, tell him, he said I agreed."
Ai Suo responded, but did not leave immediately. Dan Rui looked up at him and noticed the complicated and bitter expression on his face. He couldn't help but sighed and asked, "What else is bad news? Let's talk about it together. ."
Ai Suo swallowed again, and said in an unusually difficult voice: "The news that I have just received is that an armored company and an infantry company from Warfire Town were blocked by a minefield 5 kilometers west of Savin Yangbin, and were immediately armed by unknown forces. The force’s attack caused heavy losses. The specific casualties and equipment losses are still being counted, but it is no longer possible to complete the scheduled tasks. They applied to withdraw to Zhanhuozhen for repairs."
Than Shwe couldn't sit still anymore. If Savin Yangbin's situation was bad, but he expected it, then the shooting down of 4 helicopters from Mandalay had already touched his bottom line. Air power has always been the most threatening aspect of the military superiority that the Burmese government forces have over the "civilian military" organization. It is also the government army's occupation of the frontal battlefield in the war with the "civilian military" organizations. One of the important confidence to make the best of your advantage.
However, just now, the enemy actually shot down 4 of its own helicopters!
This has made him a little intolerable, but the next news made him even more unacceptable. A company of tanks and a company of infantry, in a short distance of 25 kilometers in the control area of ​​their own, unexpectedly returned Can be attacked, and even the identity of the attacker is not clear. What do they eat? !
He stood up, frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Speak clearly."
Esso stammered and replied: "They said that they searched all the way and found no trace of the enemy along the way. They were just about 5 kilometers away from Savin Yangbin and blocked by a minefield about 500 meters deep. The layout of the district is relatively random. Seeing that its purpose is to delay the arrival of the reinforcements along Highway 31 to Sawan Yangbin, they have mobilized engineers to carry out mine clearance operations after regular alert, and prepare to open a pathway out. But at that moment, they were attacked and the attackers did not even show up. They just carried out a few rounds of 107 rocket fire coverage from a distance, but they were very accurate..."
Dan Rui frowned and asked, "Accurate? How accurate is it?"
The adjutant replied helplessly: "The artillery fire accurately covered the area where the tanks gathered, as if it had undergone very precise measurement calculations in advance."
"It's impossible. Don't you know the accuracy of the 107 rocket launcher? The enemy must have scouts who are responsible for calibrating the bombardment coordinates lurking nearby. They are making excuses for their failure to shirk responsibility!" Dan Rui gritted his teeth and grumbled. .
Ai Suo replied helplessly: "General, I am afraid what they are saying is true, because according to their report, the enemy has carried out at least 5 rounds of coverage shooting, and since the first round, their rockets are very accurate. , And there is no common calibration shooting process at all."
"Impossible, how is this possible? Go tell them and ask them to report the loss and the process of the attack to me immediately. The more detailed the better!"
Ai Suo agreed and immediately turned around and prepared to go out and send Dan Rui's reply to the two troops as a text message, but might as well be hit by someone who rushed in.
Seeing that the person here is the squad leader of the communications class, he shouted angrily: "Min Juekan, what are you doing, in such a hurry, do you still look like a soldier?"
Min Kyawkan did not pay attention to Ai Suo's anger at all. Instead, he raised the telegram in his hand and yelled anxiously to Dan Rui: "General, there is a call from Zhanhuozhen. They were attacked just now, and the enemy suddenly came from the forest east of Zhendong. Appeared, and the number of people participating in the war was large, the firepower was very fierce, and..."
Dan Rui's face turned pale in an instant, he rushed forward in a vigorous step, grabbed Min Juekkan's collar and roared and asked: "And what?!"
"And they have confirmed that it was Xie Li of Mogok who personally led the attack by the main force of at least two regiments!"
"what?!!!"
