Chapter 693: Driving a jeep into a tank

Time: February 12, 1983, 9:30 am;
Weather: sunny, breeze;
Temperature: 20 degrees Celsius.
"The weather is great."
Xie Li straightened his waist from the large military map that covered the entire desktop, stretched his limbs, and smiled and said to Lin Mingxian beside him.
Lin Mingxian threw away the magnifying glass and pencil in his hand, rubbed his slightly sour eyes, looked out the window, smiled and said, "Yes, the weather is really good, it's a good day for war."
"Yes, it is indeed a good day for war, but then again, Lao Lin, your old husband is greedy this time. There is a whole regiment of Lao Myanmar, and he intends to swallow it all by himself? It's really unambiguous, at such an age. When he gets older, he is not afraid of indigestion?"
"Hehe, this is not old. He is a senior. Since he wants to swallow alone, then let him chant. Besides, Dan Rui is arranged like this. Obviously that group is the gecko tail he left behind, just waiting People swallow it. He is determined to use which regiment to exchange all of our troops here. After all, this man is really decisive and can be cruel to play this kind of exchange tactics."
Xie Li let out a cold snort of disdain from his nostrils: "It's not up to him to make the decision alone."
Lin Mingxian reminded me worriedly: "Old Xie, be careful. The tactics provided by your little friend Tan have never been tried before. No matter what, no one can say it is bad. If you don’t see the situation later, Wonder, don’t hold on to Dan Rui, and retreat quickly. With the terrain and fortifications of Warfire Town, how can we be able to deal with Dan Rui for a while, this time we succeeded in the sneak attack and won so many food and ammunition. Oil, even intact tanks have been seized several, no matter how to calculate it is no loss, anyway, the mine of Tai Gong Dang can not grow legs, this time if it doesn’t work, wait for us to exchange for some good things, and then come and get them again. It's not too late."
Xie Li laughed and said: "Old Lin, don't say frustrating words, I know in my heart, Tan Xiaozi's tricks don't work, you have to try it before you know that Dan Rui is almost here in Kyaukki, old rules, you help I'll guard the back road, I will first meet this general back to talk about."
After that, he waved at Lin Mingxian, turned around and walked out of the town government building temporarily requisitioned as a command post, boarded a 212 jeep that had been waiting for him for a long time, and galloped away.
Looking at the direction where the jeep was disappearing, Lin Mingxian shook his head helplessly, sighed, and said to himself: "I have become a teacher, and I always love to be on the front line. It is really not worrying."
...
"Stop, where are we now?"
"Report to the general, we have just passed Kyaukki now, less than 15 kilometers away from Warfire Town."
"Bring the map."
Min Juekan immediately took out the military map from his backpack and spread out the hood of the command vehicle.
As the adjutant Ai Suo took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the commander of the sever army, Than Shwe temporarily appointed the communications squad leader Min Kyawkan as his personal adjutant, and the work of this young man so far has made him relatively satisfied.
Than Rui looked at the map and found that the next section of the road to Warfire Town was basically a relatively open terrain, so he drew a few circles on it with a pencil and issued an order: "Order, all armored units should be a company. Units form a battle formation and attack forward!"
"Yes!"
Min Kyawkan responded and turned around and was ready to convey this order of Than Shwe. He knew that this meant that a tragic war was about to start. The general was not going to give his opponent any more preparation time. He wanted The enemy was completely destroyed and crushed in one fell swoop with a torrent of steel, just like he said, stepping on the enemy's body to go home.
As he turned around, he saw one of his communications soldiers rushing over, and then hurriedly saluted without waiting for his breath to catch up, "Report to the general."
Dan Rui frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The correspondent hurriedly replied: "General, according to the reconnaissance report sent back by the vanguard just now, it is said that an enemy brigade is approaching!"
"What? You say it again?"
Tan Rui thought he had heard it wrong, and hurriedly asked again.
Are there groups of enemy troops approaching? What a joke!
This is a completely open plain area. It is an ideal battlefield where tanks can gallop at will. The enemy is only light infantry, and at best there are only a few self-propelled howitzers. The best defense method is deep trench and high bases, relying on various buildings and fortifications in the war town. Dealing with himself, who has an overwhelming superiority in armored forces, he also formulated a series of response plans for this. As for the enemy, dare to take the initiative to attack himself in a field battle? Dan Rui never thought that there would be such a possibility. There shouldn't be such a crazy and stupid commander in this world, right?
Besides, what are they approaching? Legs? That one doesn't even need to shoot, just relying on the steel track of the tank can crush and destroy all the enemies!
Don't those people in the vanguard have their eyes lost?
The correspondent thought he was panting too quickly and didn't make it clear, so he hurriedly reported again in a loud voice: "General, just now following the report from the vanguard, they found that a large number of enemy troops were approaching quickly."
Tan Rui heard that a word was added to the report of the signal soldier, and immediately asked: "Quick approach? What is a quick method? What means of transportation?"
The correspondent hurriedly replied: "The vanguard said that the goal is too far, they are not sure, but from the appearance, it seems to be a Jeep made by China."
"jeep?!"
Dan Rui's eyebrows were about to be twisted together, and he felt weird in this matter.
He certainly knows the jeeps produced by China. Not only does he know that, as an important customer of China’s weapons and equipment exports, Myanmar’s military and government agencies are equipped with a large number of jeeps produced by China, and there is only one model of this type of jeep— 212.
Could that special Xie Li be impatient? How crazy is this man driving a jeep to charge the tank?
Could it be that he wanted to rely on the speed and flexibility of the jeep to take the tactics of sacrificing some people and rushing in and mixing with the tank group, and then trying to use RPG to attack the relatively weak side armor or track of the tank?
Or simply play with dirty tricks like "human flesh bombs"?
Thinking about it this way, it's really possible.
There are more than one hundred tanks of various types here. Such forces gather together to make an assault. The weak fortifications of Zhanhuo Town are obviously vulnerable to a blow. Rather than sit and wait for death, it is better to let go. After all, if this trick is really successful, it can still bring a lot of loss and trouble to yourself.
Dan Rui felt that if he speculated this way, he could not help but try this kind of tactics instead of being in the position of Xie Li.
However, Xie Li, Xie Li, your enemy is my Dan Rui, the invincible general Dan Rui. This kind of tactic has no chance of success in front of me!
Dan Rui grinned and ordered: "Order all armored units to slow down and keep the marching formation, order the second infantry regiment to jump forward immediately, and protect the two flanks between the tanks. All the troops enter a state of combat and prepare to take the enemy. !"
Xie Li, don't you know that doing this for me is hitting a rock with a pebble? Since you sent this gift, the general accepted it unceremoniously!
