Chapter 216 Go! Fight back!

  After Tang Zheng made the decision to attack Daliao, the entire army of the Chasing Light Army began to prepare for war.

  Although he made up his mind to fight Daliao, Tang Zheng knew that this battle was not that simple.

  The opponent has 150,000 troops, and their strength is superior to their own in all aspects. If they don't make complete preparations, they may lose a big battle.

   From the video sent back from the perspective of the war eagle, it can be seen that Daliao already has about 300 tanks.

   Among them, there are about 150 light tanks and main battle tanks each.

  Tang Zheng wasn't very worried about tanks.

  Currently his two armored battalions have one hundred tanks. Although this number is not many, Tang Zheng's men now have 15 million funds, and they can produce another wave at any time.

  Based on the performance of the light-chasing army tanks, 200 tanks are enough to fight against 300 tanks in Daliao.

   But the opponent's helicopter force is a problem.

   According to the investigation results, Daliao currently has about 70 helicopters, and they are also relatively advanced models.

  The Alligator Helicopter is Daliao's unique helicopter, and its performance is excellent in all aspects. Although it is slightly inferior to the Apache, it is not much different.

  Tang Zheng currently has 20 Apaches, and the number is a bit behind.

  According to Tang Zheng's plan, he will have a battle with Daliao on the northern Great Plains. If the opponent's helicopter unit joins the battle at that time, it will definitely have a big impact.

  After deciding to go to war, Tang Zheng decisively spent 7 million funds to replenish 100 99A main battle tanks.

  Two armored battalions, each with one hundred tanks, set off with the army immediately.

  The armored battalion goes deep into the northern plains, and will stay in Lumbard City with the main force, and wipe out some zombies there, so that the tanks can be upgraded as much as possible.

  The large troops set out, and the railway began to be laid simultaneously.

  According to the plan, the railway will start from the base of the university city and enter the city of Lumbardy first. There is a part of the original railway here that can be used to save resources.

  But from Luba City to the coal mine of the Light Chasing Army, the railway needs to be re-laid.

  The engineering unit has already started operations, and the laying of the railway is proceeding quickly and intensely.

   There are also engineering vehicles from Zhuguang City, which are also quickly clearing the road to Lumbardy, clearing the snow, and ensuring the smooth passage of large troops.

  After the large troops left, Tang Zheng turned his attention back to the opponent's helicopter troops.

  In Tang Zheng's meeting room, he and several officers from the guard company, the direct battalion, the Military Intelligence Bureau, the combat command center, and the Army Aviation Battalion continued to stay up late for meetings.

  Several war eagles were sent out, and they kept sending back pictures of the opponent's airport.

  Volcano City is a military port and an important city in the south of Daliao. It not only has a dock, but also an airport.

  Although the opponent has not yet produced fixed-wing fighters, they have already produced a lot of helicopters.

  With the Hanyue laborers, their military industry has also developed rapidly.

   "General, the other party's airport is not easy to get. The airport is located in the north of Volcano City, and Volcano City is also protected by the Tongtian River. We can't get there by land, so we can only get there by air."

"However, according to our investigation, the air defense of Volcano City is very good. Not only are there a large number of anti-aircraft guns deployed, but also several original anti-aircraft missile silos have been repaired. If the helicopter passes by, I am afraid it will become a target and cannot reach their northern part. will be shot down."

  The battalion commander of the Army Aviation, Hu Yuhang, spoke at this time, explaining the difficulty of this battle.

   "Even if we build the railway near Beifengdu and use the armored train's missile raid, it will not be easy to break through their missile defense system."

  After hearing Hu Yuhang's words, the other officers also nodded one after another, thinking that air attack is not a good way.

  Ji Yuntian also made supplements at this time.

"And their airport is also guarded by troops. Daliao's troops have a battalion of 800 people. Their airport has two permanent battalions for protection. Including other personnel, the total number exceeds 2,000. There is not enough troops to take down the airport. Difficult."

   "There is also the defense near the airport. They also dug huge trenches around the airport, and armored forces cannot pass through. This is also a problem."

  But now a problem has arisen, if it is impossible to get through on land, and air attack cannot work, then it is a bit difficult to deal with.

   Several people argued for a while, but they couldn't come up with any good solution.

  Finally, Tang Zheng stared at the map for a while, then slowly said: "I think we can use a surprise attack to solve this problem."

  Everyone was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding the general's thinking.

  Tang Zheng pointed to the north of Volcano City: "I don't know if you have noticed, although they have also taken precautions against us, but they are mainly concentrated in the southern area, and most of the defenses in the north are only superficial."

   "In addition to their good air defense, the north of the airport is a large coniferous forest area. Except for some patrols passing by occasionally, it is basically no man's land."

   "I think we can send our airborne troops to bypass the volcano city, then land in their north, attack from north to south, and take this airport in one fell swoop."

  Hearing Tang Zheng's words, several people's eyes lit up.

   This method sounds very feasible.

  As long as they can quickly enter the airport and blow up these helicopters, the opponent's air superiority will no longer exist.

   Without air superiority, the armored forces of the Light Chaser Army can let go of their hands and feet.

At this time, Ning Yuwei hesitated and said: "General, your idea is very special and it is indeed feasible, but I think there is still a problem, that is, we must take down the airport in a short time, otherwise the defenders in the volcano city will When it arrives, our raiding force will be very passive, and may even be completely annihilated. How can we take it? After all, there are more than 2,000 people on the other side. If we rely on the airport guards, we can't take it in a short time."

Tang Zheng smiled: "Your proposal is exactly what I'm thinking about right now. Our transport plane can probably transport 1,500 people from the entire Army Aviation Battalion at one time, and 1,500 people will fight 2,000 people. If you want to win in a short time, Then it is only possible to sneak into the airport without anyone noticing, occupy the important place in advance, and launch a surprise attack. I think this problem requires the cooperation of people from the Army Aviation Battalion and the Military Intelligence Bureau."

"You guys must come up with a complete battle plan within two days, and you must also remember that you must grasp a point in time and determine the time when the Daliao people will cross the river. Only when we look back can we raid the airport, our goal is not only to take down the airport, but more importantly, to destroy Daliao's armored forces and weaken their war potential, this is the fundamental."

  Speaking, Tang Zheng looked at Ji Yuntian: "Is there any arrangement for the Military Intelligence Bureau at Daliao?"

Ji Yuntian nodded: "There are some arrangements. During this period of time, the caravans are trading, we have bought some informants to provide us with reports, but the people in Daliao are relatively xenophobic, and none of our informants can enter their senior management. .”

   Tang Zheng thought for a while, and directly turned on the system.

   Buy agents.

   Purchased 50 agents at one time and spent 50,000 funds.

  These fifty agents are all foreigners, including five from each major country, including five from Daliao.

   Three men, two women.

  Among the two women, there is a particularly beautiful Daliao beauty, and the other is more ordinary.

   Handed over all the agents to Ji Yuntian: "The future work of your Military Intelligence Bureau will not only target domestic but also foreign countries. We need to keep abreast of the situation and trends in more aspects here. You should make good use of these people."

  Ji Yuntian nodded in agreement, and fifty new agents joined the Military Intelligence Bureau.

   After giving the order, Tang Zheng returned to the bedroom to rest, and several of his subordinates were still discussing the details of the operation in the meeting room.

  A mature tactic is not simply discussed, especially in transnational operations, where details determine success or failure, and a small negligence may lead to the failure of the entire operation.

  They analyzed and calculated one by one, and even deduced it, based on the news reports and video materials one by one.

   The time that each battle may take, and each process sends a certain unit to act.

  The time for reinforcements from Daliao to arrive, as well as the time for attack and retreat should also be reserved.

  During the discussion, scientific researcher He Xue also joined in.

  During this process, He Xue needed to make a lot of time bombs to blow up enemy planes.

  The course of the discussion runs from afternoon to midnight, and from midnight to dawn.

  In the early morning, everyone had a simple meal and continued to discuss the details of tactics.

   Drawings were thrown all over the table, and everyone's eyes were a little red.

  But everyone looked excited, which showed that their plans had begun to mature.

   At noon that day, an exciting news came out.

   "General, the time for dispatching troops from Daliao has been confirmed!"

   After lunch, Tang Zheng, who came to the meeting room again, immediately got the news.

   "Oh! How are you sure?"

"In Volcano City, a seemingly insignificant notice was sent, that is, they canceled the vacation internally, and the reason was to deal with a warlord in the north, but the strength of that warlord was much smaller than that of Ferdinand, so it was not worth the trouble. , so we have reason to believe that the time for them to send troops should be tomorrow morning."

"good!"

   Tang Zheng waved his fist excitedly: "Has the number of troops they dispatched been determined?"

   "It is roughly confirmed. Three hundred tanks, thousands of infantry fighting vehicles, and about two divisions with 50,000 people dispatched. It seems that they intend to swallow our twelve bases in the north in one go."

   Tang Zheng nodded: "Is your plan ready?"

   "It's done. The time and number of troops they sent out was just a matter of time. Now that it's confirmed, we can find the most suitable time to act."

  Tang Zheng also became excited: "Then prepare for action, deploy the personnel today, and when they send troops tomorrow, we will start action."

   "Contact me the engineering unit, how is the progress of the railway construction?"

   Soon the news came back, and there was still a 160-kilometer railway line away from the coal mine.

   Tang Zheng didn't hesitate, and directly allocated 1.6 million funds to let the railway be laid near the coal mine immediately.

  Because there is the main battlefield of this battle.

  The railway was laid, and the troops advanced rapidly, preparing to fight in the depths of the wilderness.

  The helicopter unit of the Army Aviation Battalion also set off from Zhuguang City at night, carrying the paratroopers and the elite of the Military Intelligence Bureau, detoured thousands of miles, and went straight to the north of Volcano City.
