Vol 3 Chapter 351: Myanmar Jungle War (1)

The situation in Myanmar is becoming increasingly tense. After Zhang Shusheng returned from the Tibetan area, he inspected several high-tech open areas in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and returned to Beijing to focus on the Myanmar war.
Zhang Shusheng took a closer look at the documents from Southeast Asia, including issues such as army reorganization, military intelligence, combat readiness logistics, and upgrading of weapons and equipment.
The problems in Southeast Asia are more complex than those in the Far East and Northeast.
The terrain in the Far East and Northeast is relatively flat, and most of them belong to wide plain terrain. In modern warfare, although it is very convenient for mechanized troops to launch and attack, it also lacks good tactical hiding conditions. Any larger-scale troop movement may Spotted by airborne reconnaissance aircraft and omnipresent military agents.
Actions are not easy to keep secret, and any offense can be well arranged for countermeasures. Although the defensive side is mostly unguarded in most cases, if it is a ground infantry unit, it will be difficult to attack and defend. If it is an armored lightning attack, China will have a heavy armored cluster in the northeast. Coupled with a powerful aerial cluster, the Northeast is actually safer.
However, Southeast Asia is different. Southeast Asia and even the entire southwest are dominated by mountainous and hilly terrain. The enemy's offense can be diverse and cunning. Once you drill a ravine and travel day and night, what armor advantage, air advantage, artillery, The advantages will be greatly affected.
"Chairman, Chief of the General Staff of Jiang Baili and Minister Su Yu came." Mao Yun knocked on the door first and interrupted Zhang Shusheng's contemplation. "Let them come in."
General Jiang Baili and Admiral Su Yu quickly came in, and they came for the war in Myanmar.
"Chairman." After the two saluted, they took their seats as instructed by the chairperson.
Zhang Shusheng picked up a newspaper on the table. The headline photo was an American general who had just got off the plane and waving his arms.
"Mr. Clark said, let us taste American war in the jungles of Southeast Asia.
Yesterday, US three-star General Admiral Clark flew directly to Chittagong, India's East Pakistani government on the India-Myanmar border, on a front-line military transport plane. "The Eighth Army of the US Army is stationed here" is commanded by the 6th Army Admiral Van Fleet.
Clark was originally the commander of the U.S. Occupied Army Corps, and was trusted by the United States to "become the supreme commander of the Allied Command in Southeast Asia. After sending a whole army to participate in the battle in person, it was also the first large-scale ground force to participate in World War II. The U.S. Army easily took the supreme command of the Allies in the Southeast Asian battlefield from the British.
When the new officer takes office, there are more than 200,000 U.S. troops, and subsequent U.S. troops and 400,000 British troops in India. As a bottom line, Clark will boast Haikou after receiving the U.S. appointment, and he will definitely confront China in Southeast Asia. 〗 The Southeast Asian provinces just established by the Chinese people are struck by destruction.
"As we all know, [Chinese] Chinese people temporarily have armor superiority and air superiority, but in Southeast Asia, there is a continuous jungle. The terrain has greatly restricted the deployment of large troops and the use of modern high-power weapons. The British and Indian forces with new weapons will be rejuvenated.
There are many factors that determine the success of the war. In addition to having a wise commander, a steady stream of logistics, advanced weapons and equipment, there are many other factors. Obviously, the scale of victory is inclined to us.
They will be led by the American team led by General Van Fleet of the Eighth Army and will spend two to three months to "night" the "Chinese" Chinese Southeast Asian Army, at least destroying most of their living forces and destroying their newly established Southeast Asian provinces.
We want to let them taste American-style wars in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Under the leadership of my Clark, we will liberate the people there and bring them the "dawn of the world from"
This was Clark's generous speech while interviewing reporters from the Allies in Chittagong.
In his speech, Clark praised the strength of the Allied Forces and expressed disdain for the behavior of the Chinese people who violated the people's opinions of parts of Southeast Asia, established Southeast Asian provinces, and attempted to establish Greater China.
He believes that it is only a matter of time to defeat the Chinese State, or to defeat the Southeast Asian forces of the Chinese State.
"Yeah, the tone is quite large, and the mouth is wide open, and I am not afraid that the poisonous insects in the jungles of Southeast Asia have penetrated into it" hehe. "Jiang Baili shook his head. Although he is not particularly optimistic about the situation in Southeast Asia, he never considers Clark's opinion reasonable." "Except for Japan in southern Southeast Asia, the arrogance of Americans is based on the total number of people. 10,000 allies. I heard that their follow-up training plan for the 10,000 Indian soldiers 1 is almost completed. It is full of calculations. India can provide about two million troops in the night in a short period of time. This light is quite impressive in terms of numbers. "
India is now the second largest population region in the world after China. The total population exceeds the population of B. It cannot stand under the rule of the British. Now it sees the dawn of independence and has been promised by the Allies. Naturally You have to train your cannon fodder to fight.
"The Chief of Staff, I think the Allied Forces are using India as a cash dispenser for the population. They can train as much as they want, and they are obedient. The low cannon fodder is very much needed by the Allied Forces. The Germans are still training in Africa. Legion, the Americans are still training the American Legion. The British have such a large population of cash machines, naturally they must make good use of it. "Su Yuren echoed with a smile, the problem in India is very simple, a true South Asian sick man" However, the combat effectiveness of the Indian army is really a problem. The desire of Indian middle and lower rank officers and soldiers for independence is far less than that of the senior Indians.
Regarding India's positioning, Zhang Shusheng believed that the Allies had done nothing wrong. The situation is now tense, and the Axis powers are far greater than in the original history. The Allies will not mention anything. The army alone needs to train a larger number. After learning China, Germany and other countries, the British also embarked on a policy of appeasement and simply promised to give the Indians independence after the war. At this moment, Indians who want to be independent but are afraid to revolt themselves are naturally eager. A small number jumped up and down, recruited Indians who could not even eat their meals, and took up arms to train.
"Clark is a bit of a big talk, but he also sees the constraints of jungle warfare on weapons. Clark thinks that he has South Asian jungle soldiers, American equipment, and the regional experience of the Landsnake British. It is understandable.
After all, our National Defense Army basically did not perform much in the jungle war. "The battles that occupied Laos and the northern part of the country at that time were more victory than less, and the army passed all the way. From an outsider's point of view, we are naturally overwhelming. Wu.
〖Day〗 I was also a shot to the Allies. You know, in Southeast Asia, the Allied forces have played against Japan for four or five years, and they have not won any victory, even if it looks good.
This time, the scenery that General Clark said on the table, it is estimated that there is also a gesture of envy and intimacy "pressed on 〖Japanese〗 1st fight? People.
For Clarke, no one knows that Zhang Shusheng is clear. Originally, this was the famous guy in the US military, and it was repeatedly reused. Although the involvement in the Korean War was not high, he eventually signed the agreement.
"I am the first U.S. military general to sign a negotiating document that has not won"
This sentence Zhang Shusheng almost heard a cocoon in his ears, and naturally remember this guy.
Foreigners are not optimistic about the jungle warfare capabilities of China, and the Allies also underestimate the danger of jungle wars. Even if they have repeatedly engaged with the Burmese army and the Japanese army, the Allies only think that it is Japan. Too fierce, the fierceness of the devil became famous in the jungle battle.
As for the evaluation of the Myanmar Army and Allied Forces, it is medium, but it relies on the huge assistance of the Chinese people, far less than the Allied Forces. The strength of the Japanese army ’s jungle warfare far exceeded that of the
Chinese
people. In addition, he believed that the jungle warfare was rich in experience and profound lessons. Clark, a well-prepared Allied main force, believed that he came to Southeast Asia to gain credit.
"Allied forces lost their face in the Far East, and in the Far East where millions of allies gathered, it turned out to be quickly divided by the armored cluster of our National Defense Forces. The failure to capture millions of Japanese prisoners, together with the Allied own newspapers, was considered" Allied forces. " Another major failure.
This time, they thought that they had the upper hand and that there were veterans of jungle warfare. 〖I〗 I joined them, thinking that they would win our battle and could also explain to the people of the allies. They want us to cooperate and achieve their achievements. Su Yuren said with a mocking tone.
Zhang Shusheng nodded and said, "What's the overall situation in Southeast Asia?"
Jiang Baili: "Zheng Zhinan's Southeast Asian army has been partially deployed. It is mainly composed of the original garrison of various national defense forces, such as the Ninth Army under the command of Zhang Rongzhong, the Tenth Army under the command of Xue Yue, and the elite mountain group army in the Southwest Police District. The Second Army Corps, commanded by Lieutenant General Wang Jun, is entering Burma in an emergency. At present, about two divisions have entered Burma.
It turns out that the field jungle troops in Burma and other regions will be organized into multiple jungle field divisions. The current situation is the formation of the First Flying Jungle Field Army, commanded by the former commander of the Taiwan Police District, an expert in old jungle warfare, and commander-in-chief.
The Southeast Asian provinces commanded by Luo Chengjun will be mainly responsible for defensive and logistic operations, and can be used as a strategic reserve when necessary.
In other words, at present, our total strength in Southeast Asia is the 9th Army, the 19th Army, the 19th Mountain Army, the 28th Jungle Field Army, and the Southeast Asian provinces that can serve as garrison and logistics guides.
No. 1 Army and No. 28 Army will be mainly responsible for fighting in Myanmar, and No. 2 Army and No. 2 Army will be responsible for fighting against Japan in Thailand and southern Vietnam.
If all were deployed, the total strength would be about 10,000. At present, it will take some time for all deployments to be in place, and the Allied forces may launch their offensives in advance. "
Jiang Baili briefly introduced the issue of military deployment.
Zhang Shusheng looked to Su Yuren and motioned him to continue.
"Chairman, at present, our troops in Southeast Asia have basically undergone a special replacement of equipment." Su Yuren said, "For example, the 9th Army and the 9th Army have increased the allocation of sniper rifles and submachine guns. A large number are equipped with targeting Mirror sniper rifles, paired with veteran oilers that these two group troops have honed in the night in Southeast Asia for several years, many units have established special temporary sniper platoons, sniper companies, and even sniper battalions.
The main equipment replacement was based on the 19th Army.
The basic idea is to carry out special equipment for jungle warfare.
A large number of new weapons such as infantry guns, bazookas, 7mm multi-barreled portable rocket launchers, new fire mortars, assault rifles, new broad-sword mines, and mine-clearance tanks will be equipped.
In terms of auxiliary combat equipment, such as infrared instruments, night vision infrared instruments, military dogs, mountain communication equipment, jungle wireless listening equipment, etc., they are equipped with extra or experimental equipment.
Although the use of armour and air power in jungle warfare is very limited, we still deployed a large number of mountain tanks, thickened the armor, and strengthened the ability to resist lightning and explosion. And air support is mainly based on fighting for air dominance and completing air call support tasks. "
Zhang Shusheng has all seen these plans, and he is very satisfied. However, he once made suggestions on the equipment of jungle operations in Southeast Asia.
Increase the intensity of the deployment, don't be reluctant to spend money, and use the soldier's life to save the cost of that weapon and equipment.
Infantry guns, rocket launchers, 45-year-old portable multi-barreled rocket launchers, new fire mortars, and more submachine guns were all he asked for. Since heavy artillery, heavy armored clusters, etc. are unavailable, strengthen the firepower of individual soldiers.
As for the more equipped with infrared instruments, military dogs, mountain communications equipment, jungle monitoring equipment, it is asymmetric combat.
Imagine that the key positions, coupled with infrared instruments, can also defend the positions more safely that night. The specially trained jungle army dog ​​may play a great role in tracking the enemy and the current enemy. Not to mention, even a farm dog, strangers crossing can lead to a crazy barking, terrain such as jungle battles and cat eye holes, a large number of military dogs and even trained hunting dogs, will be huge Role.
The jungle monitoring equipment is also very powerful. It is mainly deployed in some important places and can provide early warning.
He doesn't even need to know ~ EbookFREE.me ~ even if the Americans are very generous and rich, but they are definitely not as good as themselves on these auxiliary combat equipment.
At that time, the Yankees should always be seen. They were caught in the middle of the night by the National Defense Forces, and they were repeatedly frustrated when they were going to the positions. Even secret marches may be seen by jungle monitoring equipment.
In short, it is Zhang Shusheng's decision to invest in a large sum of money in exchange for an alternative asymmetric strategic situation in the Southeast Asian jungle. It is the least cost-effective to fill it with money and equipment.
Since you are a rebirth, you know some valuable experience in jungle warfare. Americans have never even played jungle warfare before. In the European battlefield of World War I, in the last minute, the advancement of the U.S. military was simply riding in a truck.
The differences in battlefield consciousness and combat thinking determine the style of equipment and indirectly cause the Allies to fall behind by a small step on the starting line.
He wants the Allies to know that do n’t think that high-tech wars can only be fought on plains and ordinary mountain terrain, even jungles and rainforests. You also need to see the achievements of the Chinese people in more than 30 years of high-tech construction, and India. Guys, Brits and Yankees couldn't find the way home, let alone the three-month delusion of liberating Southeast Asia. a.
