Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

Zhang Dabiao’s execution ability is also quite good.

The corps under his command has the same origin as Ding Wei's troops, and there is no need to mention their spirit of hard work under special circumstances.

The two roads were opened in the shortest possible time, making it convenient to directly enter the mountainous area in the northwest from southern Yunnan.

More mining equipment was transported and exploration and mining began to be carried out, bypassing the control of the Nguyen army.

An armored unit also entered at the same time. It was not equipped with main battle tanks, but an upgraded version of the BT tank, a light tank modified by southern Yunnan.

The roadbed conditions here are poor and are not suitable for large-scale armored combat.

Light tanks are more in line with battlefield needs and can achieve better tactical effects.

There is no best weapon, only the weapon that best suits the need.

They couldn't stop Ding Wei from infiltrating the north. He needed assistance, and this seemingly free assistance would undoubtedly come at a greater cost.

Some things, even if they are given to you, can you hold on to them?

If I give you a cruise missile, can you play with it?

If I give you the Tianshu fighter, can you fly it?

The happiest person was Ruan Kaitian, who was the first to receive Ding Wei's military support and no longer had to worry about air defense issues.

After the military airport was opened, thirty or forty Tianshu fighter jets formed a stable patrol.

Above the sea, the Eagle Sauce's warships appeared on the flanks of the Southern Monkeys and could launch air bombings from the sea.

In the Beibu Gulf area, Longguo’s missile destroyers are providing protection near the sea outlet.

Take a defensive stance.

Basically, the cards have been played. Unless the other party attacks the Red River area, Longguo will never take the initiative to get involved.

On a long and narrow front, the battle has entered the second phase, with warships, inland gunboats and armored units advancing northward.

Carpet bombing by aircraft continued, and tanks and infantry pressed forward.

The Southern Monkey assembled a force of more than 400,000 troops, which was quite impressive.

But how to describe the fighting power of these people? The surface of donkey dung balls is shiny.

Although it seemed that the replacement of American weapons was completed, it actually did not have much combat power. During the ground advance, it encountered a fierce counterattack.

Especially the counterattack of the AK series automatic rifles.

The soldier hiding in the jungle suddenly showed his head and fired a burst of bullets, then turned around and dived into the depths of the jungle.

Soldiers armed with M14 or even Garand semi-automatic rifles found it difficult to resist.

The gun is too long and not suitable for fighting in the jungle.

Despite the aerial bombardment, the small guerrilla forces could not be eliminated.

Generally, in this situation, we should try to divide and surround them, eliminate them one by one, disintegrate the enemy's logistics supply lines, and cut off the soil for guerrilla warfare.

But the way Eagle Sauce thinks seems to be different from that of normal people.

It was believed that the aerial bombing was not strong enough.

Increase the intensity of the bombing and increase the intensity of the howitzer bombardment.

The roar of artillery continued, leaving a large area in ruins.

This is very Emerick style.

No matter what, just bomb first and see.

We can see the inner struggle of Eagle Sauce. He wants to support the Southern Monkey King, but he doesn't dare to confront the Dragon Kingdom with real swords and guns again.

They never dared to carry out large-scale bombing in the north, nor did they dare to clash with the defense zone organized in southern Yunnan.

There is no better solution except bombing.

Aircraft cannot help you advance the front line. Every inch of land needs to be conquered by ground troops.

Eagle Sauce’s idea is also very simple. I will train a large number of elite soldiers, who will definitely be stronger than the Northern Monkeys.

But the actual results are not satisfactory.

After a month or two of hard work and the introduction of a large amount of American equipment, the combat effectiveness of the Southern Monkey Forces could not be improved.

It can't compare to the scale and strength of the Dragon Kingdom Expeditionary Force.

Moreover, the Southern Monkey's army was extremely corrupt, with officers suppressing soldiers, even worse than the Jam back then.

If you want a transport team to deliver some supplies to you, you have to give them some benefits first, otherwise the cars won't come at all.

Can an army in this state fight a tough battle?

Despite the intense bombing, the ground advancement was unusually slow.

The war entered a tense state where it was difficult to win quickly.

It is in line with Ding Wei's strategy and very much in line with Ding Wei's expectations.

The two sides were entangled in the southern region and fought near the 17th parallel, which did not affect his control over the northern region at all.

The Nguyen army is rapidly annexing Le Ching Duc's troops, and Nguyen Kai Tian will also gain the right to speak in the northern region.

Ruan Xiu can be seen frequently going in and out of the military base, where the most advanced fighter jets are parked, including the Tianshu-3 fighter jets, ready to take off and fight at any time.

Along the periphery of the military base, inland gunboats with larger displacement appeared.

These ships loaded with cannons were transported down from upstream and began to form patrols along the river.

Strengthened river defenses.

It’s a bit funny to say, this is the territory of the Northern Monkey. Who are they defending against by strengthening the river defense?

Regardless of whether it is for the purpose of preventing flooding, troops from southern Yunnan have already poured in in large numbers, with at least two divisions of strength.

They were divided into groups and camps, and were trying to control several main routes from southern Yunnan to northern Yunnan.

Nguyen Kaitian's troops mainly moved eastward and infiltrated into the plains along the river.

The soil there is fertile, there are important cities, and it is closer to the center of power.

With Ding Wei's help, it was easy to mobilize 2 men. This force stationed in the northwestern mountainous area was expanding rapidly.

While you are in internal chaos, you must quickly gain control of your inland rivers and seaports.

Especially the other side’s sea outlet is a deep-water port.

It is a pity that Beihouzi does not have the ability to develop it. If water transportation, railways and roads are opened up, this deep-water port will become a natural harbor in southern Yunnan.

Li Zhengde was lying on the bed cursing. His military strength had already been greatly reduced, and after being quickly recruited and transferred away by Ruan Kaitian, he was almost left alone.

In a blink of an eye, Ruan Kaitian's troops were everywhere.

Several major cities in the north have been infiltrated by the Nguyen army.

Even outside their core city, Daluo, Ruan Kaitian's armored personnel carriers appeared.

How bold people are and how productive they are.

When the northern part was short of troops, there were only two forces, Li Zhengde and Nguyen Kaitian.

The combined forces of these two groups were about 3, but at this time, the troops on the ground in the north had exceeded 6.

Zhang Dabiao's two divisions changed into military uniforms and advanced, stationing along the river.

Controlled the main bridges, roads and transportation lines.

The inland waterway transport routes were blocked, and all traffic was carried out by transport ships from southern Yunnan.

Clear the blocked river and transport a large number of weapons and equipment to the vicinity of Daluo.

The Daluo garrison consisted of more than 3000 troops, and the division commander of the unit was Wu Yuanzhi. As the name suggests, he was the younger brother of the Northern Monkey General Wu Jia.

I heard noises outside the city late at night.

"Open the door, open the door, help is coming."

Transport ships, gunboats, armored vehicles, etc. successfully entered Daluo in the name of transporting relief supplies.

The other side allowed a large number of transport troops to come in without even a hint of suspicion.

When I saw this group of people armed with guns, I immediately felt something was wrong.

"Which unit are you from? You look unfamiliar."

look unfamiliar?

It looks familiar, the inland fleet, plus the newly reorganized troops of the Nguyen Army.

There were two regiments that continuously entered Daluo.
