Chapter 692: Little trick

As the indicator stick slides on the map, Than Shwe’s voice sounded:
The first plan is to go north from here and attack along Route 311 to capture the bridge that connects Mu Adam and Tekyain on the Irrawaddy River. , Expelled the Kachin Independence Army that was entrenched in Benqian, and then headed south along the highway on the west bank of the Irrawaddy River, and finally crossed the river again at Inwa Bridge and returned to Mandalay."
After briefly introducing the first plan, Than Shwe turned around and said in a deep voice: "This plan seems to be the safest, but there is a fatal problem. The Tigoyin Bridge still seems to be in our hands. However, the enemy entrenched in Benqiang may launch an attack on Tekyain at any time, and if the enemy once captured Tekyain, or used some other means to cut off the bridge traffic-such as bombing the bridge, we Will fall into a more passive position."
Whispering discussions sounded again, but Than Shwe did not intend to stop, but directly continued, "Next, I will introduce the second plan formulated by the General Staff."
This time, instead of turning to look at the map, he shouted in an unusually sonorous and firm voice, "This plan is very simple. Follow the highway 311 to the south. Whoever dares to block our way home will come from whomever Step on the corpse!"
The discussion in the room stopped abruptly.
Ai Suo stood up at the right time and said loudly: "General, brothers, if I must die, I would rather die by fighting. I choose the second option. I want to avenge the brothers who died in Sawan Yangbin and Warforth! "
The performance of General Than Shwe and his adjutant is so obvious that anyone can see that no matter how stupid it is, the general has actually decided on the course of action long ago, and his words that respect the choices of most people are completely excuses. Let everyone here at least confess on the surface that the final battle plan got their own approval.
This is actually a helpless move by Than Shwe.
Because no one understands the nature of his subordinates better than him.
It is true that Than Shwe is the commander of the Central Military Region of Burmese Yu, and it is true that it is the first person in the military that Myanmar Yu currently holds the greatest strength. It is also true that he has a high prestige in the army-but it is the foundation for all this. In fact, it all came from the fact that under his leadership, in the war against the "civil, land and military", the subordinate units were able to burn, kill and loot without any scruples, and were able to demand and demand from all ethnic minority villages.
What brings these people together is not the righteousness of the country or the nation, nor the affection of robes, but the simplest word-"profit".
This also determines that when this army continues to win, it has a strong appeal and cohesion, and when faced with a dangerous situation like today, Dan Rui has to think more.
Because he knows what choice most people will make when they really need to face the proposition of choosing between "profit" and "fate".
Than Shwe can indulge his subordinates for greedy for money and profit and use this to gather people's hearts and improve his prestige, but he himself is not such a person, or that these small profits are not enough to impress him.
He has greater ambitions.
It is his ultimate goal to seek the throne of Burmese jade's power. In order to achieve this goal, he has struggled for a long time and put in countless tremendous efforts.
Including this time, without the permission of the president, he mobilized almost all the troops he could mobilize, and went north to seize the ownership of Taigongdang nickel mine to strengthen his own power.
This is a big bet.
If he wins the bet, he will get enough political and economic capital to leave all possible competitors far behind, and he can even face up to challenge the authority of President Wu Naiwen.
And if the bet is lost...
Not to mention that it will be devastated from then on, it will at least hurt the vitality, at least, those enemies who only hide in the dark corners and perform some conspiracy and tricks will definitely take the opportunity to fall into trouble.
Therefore, he must not lose.
Moreover, before today, he had never considered the possibility of losing a bet.
However, the development of the current situation made him soberly aware that the opponents this time are very different from the "Mindiwu" guerrillas they have faced in the past. They are no longer a group of unorganized guerrillas, but also intrigue and fight for power. The stragglers of stragglers have been integrated by some unknown force, capable of cooperating with the whole of combat from multiple directions for common strategic goals.
Even the weapons in their hands have been upgraded from the three traditional guerrilla magic weapons such as AK-47, RPG, and 107 rocket launchers to the large-caliber self-propelled howitzers equipped with as many as one battalion!
By the way, there is an unknown weapon, what exactly they used to shoot down their own helicopter until now no one can tell him.
Dan Rui had to admit that he had met such an enemy for the first time since Rong.
But so what?
Than Shwe prides itself on being a pure soldier, and soldiers, even when facing the most powerful enemy, shouldn't they not shrink back?
Detour back to Mandalay, along the way, you only need to defeat the Kachin Independence Army, which has been in the Qiang for a long time and has no achievements. That is actually the safest and safest choice. Although this plan contains the risk he mentioned earlier, he himself does not believe that the Kachin people have the courage to blow up the Tikoyan Bridge at the risk of being criticized by all of Burma.
However, Than Shwe could not choose to do so.
Because, what is the difference between this and being a deserter?
The disgraceful withdrawal from Taigongdang not only declared the complete failure of this operation, and gave his political opponents a laughing stock to mock him, but also added an indelible shame to his military career.
As a pure soldier, when faced with this situation, he has and only has the only choice-to defeat and shred the enemy, and then use their wailing and bones to pave his way to glory.
However, to do all of this, there is a premise.
All his subordinates must stand with him 100%.
This not only requires courage, but also dare to sacrifice.
And these two, for his team, are quite rare qualities.
Therefore, when describing the two combat plans just now, Than Shwe played a little trick.
Judging from the current results, he succeeded.
Despite the obvious hesitation of some people, in the end, everyone voted for the implementation of the second combat plan, which made Than Shwe finally a little relieved.
Next, there is a more difficult barrier waiting for him.
He tapped on the huge battle map with his baton, and pointed to several strategic points on the map that guarded the border between Taigongdang's periphery and the dense forest. Some volunteers are needed here, here, and here to attack the enemies of Peng Jia's voice separately, and hold them for at least 24 hours. After 24 hours, you can freely choose the retreat route. Who of you wants to stay?"
