Du Fei first asked Lin Tiansheng: "Old Lin, what are we going to do?"
Lin Tiansheng is the commander-in-chief of this operation. Regarding the specific preparation and command, he must be the main one.
Du Fei will not fight for this power. The so-called struggle for power is meaningful only if it is profitable.
If there is no profit to be made, it may ruin one's own major affairs, and it would be a fool's errand to fight for power.
Lin Tiansheng looked serious. This time was more important to him. No one was more eager to prove his ability and worth with a world-famous victory than him.
Du Fei just gave him this opportunity and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the preparations are going very smoothly. Three divisions of our vanguard have arrived in Siam..."
Du Fei listened patiently, then looked at Chen Fangshi when he was done: "Old Chen, how is the coordination with Gu Dan going?"
Chen Fangshi said there was no problem at all.
This plan for Vietnam is a multi-party collaboration.
America supported it, Huaguo also supported it, and Kuching came forward to organize a coalition.
Not to mention that Gu Dan was able to become the King of Siam all because of Du Fei, but the current situation also requires him to actively cooperate.
You know, Siam is not completely dominated by the Gu Dan family now. There is the territory of the original guerrillas in the north, and there are various factions fighting in the area.
If Gu Dan wants to sit firmly on the throne of the king, he must not only coordinate the forces of all parties, but also rely on Du Fei as a foreign aid.
What's more, he has the support of America this time. If he can't see the situation clearly, the king should just stop doing it.
Chen Fangshi said: "Gu Dan has designated a special military zone in Dali Mansion for us to station troops... The engineering team has begun to urgently build military camps."
The mobilization and garrison of hundreds of thousands of troops is no joke. It requires various supporting facilities and a large supply of materials.
Strictly speaking, America's annual funding of US$50 million alone is definitely not enough, and Duffy has to raise additional funds.
Even so, the battle is worth it.
Even if America doesn't have a penny, as long as it can be included in the list of industrial transfers and can take over part of the spillover production capacity, the benefits will be enough.
With this foundation, Kuching will have at least ten years of rapid economic development in the future, which will not be inferior to the so-called Han River Miracle in South Korea.
So as long as you have the chance, you must keep persisting.
As long as the fighting continues on the front line, America will not easily change her established attitude towards Du Fei and Kuching, or even the entire West Pacific.
This is their fundamental interest and will not change easily due to election changes.
…
Time passed quickly amid the intense preparations.
In the summer, the weather in Siam became increasingly hot. After more than two months of preparations, Lin Tiansheng's headquarters had arrived at Dali House at the border of Siam and Chenla.
Nearly one hundred thousand troops mobilized from Borneo also arrived here to adapt to the local environment.
The climate conditions in various parts of Southeast Asia are basically the same, so coming from Borneo is not a problem.
In addition, Li Yuanchao also sent a reorganization division, led by Hu Bayi himself, with a total of 15,000 people, 5,000 more than Du Fei's original estimate of 10,000.
From this we can also see who is an outsider and who is a member of the family.
On Li Yuanchao's side, more than 10,000 people came without saying a word. They even flew over in person, interviewed Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng, and said they could provide more support.
However, Li Yuanchao also understood that this time it was Du Fei who set up the stage and Lin Tiansheng came to sing. He could not dominate the show. That was not helping, but being ignorant. In the end, he prepared a reserve team of 20,000 people and placed it at the border of Danbei and Siam.
place, and can be transferred to join the war at any time if necessary.
On the other hand, Malay, Li Jiapo and Subian are like old oxen pulling a broken cart, each with no more than a thousand people, dragging their feet and being unable to move forward.
Fortunately, Du Fei didn't count on them from the beginning. He just dragged them over to build up their momentum and become a solid Nanyang intimidation force.
On the other hand, as the host, Gu Dan also spared no effort.
Du Fei's previous plan called for a total of 150,000 people, and Gu Dan needed more than 40,000 people. In fact, Gu Dan prepared an army of more than 60,000 people.
It's not that Gu Dan is very loyal, but that he has his own little calculations.
Most of the 60,000 people are his direct descendants. The main purpose of sending them here is to train them in the hands of Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng.
After this battle is over, even if half of them are defeated, the remaining half will definitely be considered elite.
He then used these elites as seeds to continue to expand his strength.
As for the remaining half, he had to force it out from the hands of the warlords who had violated him openly and secretly. After the war started, they would become cannon fodder, so it was best to consume them all.
At the same time, the fighting in Chenla was also fierce.
The Vietnamese army dispatched more than 100,000 people, with Ruan Xiongqi as the commander. After entering Zhenla, they were unstoppable.
In just two months, they have occupied more than 70% of Chenla's territory, and the vanguard is less than 100 kilometers away from Dali Mansion, where Lin Tiansheng is stationed.
Chenla couldn't stand it anymore and asked for help from Siam and Nanyang Weihe troops many times.
Du Fei and Lin Tiansheng were not in a hurry. They were going to fight a war of attrition anyway, so they were not in a hurry to end it. They would wait until they were ready.
At this time, nearly 160,000 troops, more than 150 tanks, more than 500 large eight-wheeled armored vehicles, and various artillery including large-caliber mortars were stationed in Dali Mansion and along the border to the north.
One thousand five hundred doors.
There are twenty gunships at the frontline airport behind Dali Mansion, and more than thirty H-7 bombers are assembled at the large airport behind.
On the sea, headed by the Kuching, plus six destroyers, cruised off Chenla, providing artillery support at any time.
This time with sea and air superiority, when Lin Tiansheng formulated the battle plan, he mainly fought near the coast in the early stage, trying to make full use of the power of the six 203mm main guns on the Kuching.
…
Inside the headquarters of Dali Mansion.
Lin Tiansheng, dressed in military uniform, stared at the huge map hanging on the wall with a serious expression.
Du Fei was dressed in casual clothes, a light gauze half-sleeved shirt that looked very cool, and asked: "Old Lin, are you ready to take action?"
Lin Tiansheng said "Yes": "No wait, take action! The enemy's main force has advanced nearly three hundred kilometers, with overwhelming momentum all the way, and has become a arrogant force; the front is too long, and the supplies are very fragile; dozens of enemies have been beaten
In the year, seeing the victory, I was mentally exhausted to the limit..."
Du Fei listened and nodded silently.
But these are all in the general direction, just like the ten wins and ten losses analyzed by Guo Jia back then, they are all motivating and morale-boosting.
Lin Tiansheng would not just use these to fool people.
Sure enough, Lin Tiansheng continued: "According to the information currently available, in order to annihilate the main force of Zhenla, the opponent has been divided into three clusters: north, middle and south. The central cluster is the main force, and the north and south are the flanks. If we don't take action, we will do it.
It hurts..."
As he spoke, he pointed to the place near the coast: "We have local guides, mechanization advantages, and sea and air firepower..."
Du Fei listened carefully and already understood what Lin Tiansheng meant: "Do you want to pass between the two enemy groups and then quickly encircle and annihilate the enemies in the south?"
Lin Tiansheng nodded: "That's probably what it means."
Du Fei didn't ask about the specific plan. He wasn't good at it, so it would be useless to ask. He only asked about how sure he was.
Lin Tiansheng's eyes shone brightly and he was full of confidence: "Ninety percent!"
Du Fei raised his eyebrows, subconsciously feeling that it was a bit much, but when he thought about it, he was no longer surprised.
I'm afraid this '90%' is all said in a pinch.
It was Lin Tiansheng's first time to independently command such a large-scale legion, and it was impossible for him to decide on the battle plan he had just patted his head on.
Since you are full of confidence, you must have gained that person's approval.
Du Fei smiled and said: "In that case, I will wait for the good news of your victory."
Three days later, with Lin Tiansheng's methodical deployment, the atmosphere of war became stronger and stronger.
Du Fei used the name of the Nanyang Power and Peace Forces to constantly warn Hanoi to withdraw from Chenla immediately and stop the wrong aggression.
Of course, these words fell on deaf ears in Hanoi.
In United Consequences, America does not need to end up personally, but his younger brother starts the routine of ‘concern, condemnation, and urging to resolve the problem through negotiation’.
Hanoi ignored them, even America was beaten back. In his eyes, the others were just bidders.
Against this background, a large-scale battle suddenly broke out in Koh Kong Province, located south of Chenla.
…
Early morning on July 9th.
A convoy of nearly two hundred large eight-wheeled armored vehicles maneuvered quickly on the country road.
These armored vehicles were packed with more than a dozen people, and together with the soldiers in the carriages, one hundred armored vehicles carried more than 4,000 fully armed soldiers.
The commander of this team is a middle-aged man in his forties named Wang Yong. He has sharp eyes and a calm expression. He is not nervous at all when facing the battle. At first glance, he looks like a battle-hardened veteran.
This is also the capital that Lin Tiansheng is 90% sure of.
In addition to the soldiers, most of whom are domestic veterans, the truly powerful ones among his troops are the commanders at all levels.
Many of them were specially selected by his father to protect him.
Otherwise, no matter how perfect his plan is, if the people below have no execution ability, it will turn into a piece of shit.
And these people not only have execution ability, not to mention combat experience and command level.
Wang Yong was sitting on the second armored vehicle, leaning half of his body out of the vehicle, looking forward with a telescope, and then raised his hand to look at his watch.
At this moment, the sound of aircraft engines was heard from the sky.
Wang Yong looked up and saw a formation of three bombers in the sky, a total of five bomber formations flying over their heads.
Fifteen fully loaded H-7 bombers were specially prepared to provide artillery fire for them.
As a sharp knife that penetrates the gap between the battle lines, his first blow must be accurate and hard.
Almost at the same time, on the sea, the Kuching had arrived at the shore. The two huge turrets on the front deck turned to the north, and the gun barrels were raised high, roaring loudly.
On the side, on the road parallel to the Kuching.
Because it is a coastal area, the road conditions are relatively good, which can support the rapid maneuvering of tanks.
At the forefront here are thirty tanks, followed by dozens of armored vehicles, and behind them are fast-running infantry soldiers.
At the seaside, use the fire cover on the ship to maneuver quickly and tear open the enemy's weakest point.
At this time, the frontal troops also moved. Soon after the forward advanced, they encountered the main force of the southern cluster deployed by Ruan Xiongqi.
Lin Tiansheng took command personally, and the sound of artillery fire on the front line could be heard from his headquarters.
Standing next to the sand table, looking at the blue and red flags on it.
Next door is the telecommunications office. Now this army has decentralized the radio station to the company level, which can accurately confirm the specific location of each unit.
On the front line, while gathering superior forces, they also gained an overwhelming advantage in firepower.
Hundreds of artillery pieces, more than a dozen bombers, plus all twenty gunships.
Even patients with a lack of firepower phobia will feel a sense of being cured at this time.
In comparison, the opponent was caught off guard.
Although they knew that a large number of people were gathering on the Siam side before, they were very vigilant at first, but as time went by, there was no movement there, and they relaxed instead, thinking that it was just a preventive measure by Siam.
I didn't expect Lin Tiansheng to take action suddenly and prepare such intensive firepower, but he was stunned immediately.
Before he could react, he received news that the north and south sides were being penetrated and broken through at the same time.
Similar to Lin Tiansheng's analysis, although the Vietnamese army's combat effectiveness was good, its will to fight was not strong after the victory.
Many people began to want to go home to farm and marry a wife.
Moreover, in their view, Laoguo and Zhenla were both within easy reach, and they were not prepared for a tough battle at all.
Suddenly encountered a strong enemy and was defeated in an instant.
In less than five days, more than 40,000 people and nearly 50,000 people on the southern front were wiped out.
More than 30,000 people surrendered dead or wounded, and only more than 10,000 people escaped.
In comparison, Lin Tiansheng's casualties were only over 2,000, a battle loss ratio of over ten to one.
More than half of this was caused by Ruan Xiongqi realizing that the situation was not good and ordering the main force to send reinforcements southward. In order to block the reinforcements, we engaged in blocking warfare.
…
"Idiot!" In Hanoi Le Zhu's office, he received the battle report from the front line and his face turned blue with anger.
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that something so certain would happen like this.
With a "pop" sound, he slapped the heavy mahogany desk hard, causing his palms to hurt.
At this moment, the phone on the table rang.
Li Zhu took a deep breath and calmed down.
He knows that anger will not help at this time, and he must maintain calm judgment.
He reached out and picked up the phone and said "hello".
A voice came from the other side of the phone: "It's me~"
Li Zhu was silent, his expression changed, and he recognized the person on the other side of the phone.
He and Wu Ting are good friends and comrades-in-arms. If it were anyone else, they might see the joke, but Wu Ting would not.
After a few seconds of silence, he asked, "What's the matter?"
The other person on the phone said: "This is Huaguo's warning, do you want to continue?"
"Is there a way out?" Li Zhu smiled bitterly: "We have no choice at all."
The person on the phone sighed deeply, said nothing else, and put down the phone.
Li Zhu took a deep breath, cheered up, and dialed again without putting down the phone: "Hey, the plan is ahead of schedule. We must let the comrades of the Soviet Union see our determination."
