The Philippines tore up the armistice agreement, which was expected by everyone.
However, there was one thing that was beyond the expectations of Star Ring Trade and the Moro Kingdom military.
The Philippines did not land through the Surigao Strait in northern Mindanao. Instead, it chose to cross the Bohol Sea and directly land on the beach in the weakly defended city of Cagayan. At the same time, it risked the destruction of the aircraft and the loss of lives, and airdropped a missile onto Mount Mangabang. The entire mountain brigade attacked the port of Cagayan City from the east and north.
"... This is the military base in Cagayan City, and we were shelled by the Philippines!"
"The headquarters has received it. The Aurora-20 has taken off and is heading to the target airspace..."
Artillery shells were thrown from across the sea, and the Philippines deployed artillery positions on Bohol. Judging from the intensity of the opponent's firepower, the Freemasonry has obviously spent a lot of money on the Philippines. Howitzers are thrown over like popcorn every time, and it doesn't cost any money!
Carrying American-made weapons, the Philippine Army used the cover of civilian transport ships to break through the defense area where the Moro 13th Brigade was stationed from the port of Cagayan City, forcing it to retreat backwards.
Although Star Ring Trading has a certain garrison in Cagayan City, the number is still too small. Since the end of the Biohazard incident, the Marines stationed here have withdrawn back home or been transferred to the Surigao area.
The combat unit in Cagayan City has only 100 people, which is only equivalent to the strength of a platoon. Although the field commander responded immediately, the width of the battle line was too large and could not be filled by 100 men.
The 102nd Platoon stationed locally immediately divided into nine teams and started a firefight with the Philippine 21st Infantry Brigade that broke through the friendly defense line in the western urban area of Cagayan City. With the cooperation of individual drones and the Aurora-20 that rushed to support, the 102nd Platoon made the Philippine Army pay a heavy price, but unfortunately, Cagayan City was still lost.
…
After receiving Ivan's call, Jiang Chen immediately left the Presidential Palace, took a car to the pier, transferred to a speedboat and rushed to Crescent Island.
After arriving on the island, Jiang Chen rushed to the headquarters without stopping.
When he arrived, the headquarters was already busy. Staff were shuttled in front of rows of computers, and liaison officers were wearing headphones and repeating combat orders issued by superiors at a fast pace, connecting air strikes and intelligence to frontline soldiers. resource.
After passing through a row of computers, Jiang Chen went straight to Ivan, who was standing at the command table in front of him, exchanging opinions with the officers and staff. When they saw Jiang Chen, they immediately stopped what they were doing and stood at attention and gave him a military salute.
Jiang Chen simply returned the military salute and immediately asked straight to the point.
"No need to be polite, how is the situation on the front line?"
Ivan pointed the laser pointer at the holographic screen on the command table, which scanned the location information of the Philippine Army by the Air Force. Judging from the arc-shaped attack front, the 13th Moro Brigade was in a very bad situation and had even reached a critical point.
"...The Philippine Army deployed artillery positions based on roadbed fortifications in northern Bohol to bombard our base in Cagayan City. Cagayan City is the weak point of the Moro Army's air defense force, and they directly gave up on gaining air superiority. , forcibly concentrated transport planes and airdropped a mountain brigade on Mang Abang Mountain. Although it was very risky, I have to say that they succeeded."
Abandoning the reserve of modern warfare and placing itself in an asymmetrical position from the beginning, the Philippines is much smarter this time than last time. If we continue to follow the group army's fighting style and put all our muscles on the negotiation table, we are afraid that we will be annihilated by the entire division again.
At this moment, the Philippine army on the holographic map made new moves.
Two brigades of troops set off from the Sulu Sea and landed on the Moro mainland in Zamboanga City. At this moment, two frigates of Star Ring Trading are located in the waters east of Luzon Island and Samar Island respectively, guarding against the Philippine Army crossing the Surigao Strait.
Even though it has lost its sea and air control, the Philippine Army seems to have calculated that the Star Circle Trade Air Force and Navy are insufficient in numbers. Even with powerful firepower, it is still unable to protect both directions of Mindanao at the same time.
Such tactics are quite risky.
Without sea and air control, it means that the troops that penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Moro Kingdom cannot obtain effective supplies. However, the Philippines has accurately calculated the numerical weakness of the Moro Kingdom and the Star Ring Trade, and is preparing to use the method of continuously projecting troops to launch a war of attrition similar to a guerrilla with the Moro Kingdom.
It's risky, but it makes up for the equipment disadvantage.
"Shet! I don't understand why they bought so many tanks? For decoration?"
"The person commanding the Philippine Army is definitely not Marshal Stark. Anyone who can issue such a combat order is either a madman or a gambler." An officer couldn't help but curse.
"Our opponent is most likely the military adviser Moritz from Germany." The director of the Military Intelligence Department replied.
"No matter who our opponents are, we will make them very miserable." Jiang Chen ordered two positions on the holographic map, and then painted two segmentation lines fiercely. " Now the Americans are still watching, we must end this war before they decide to 'peacekeeping'. Since the Philippines intends to fight with me, then we will go directly to Manila to capture the war criminals!"
This war cannot be dragged on forever. If the Philippine Mountain Division is allowed to fight guerrillas in Mindanao and Moro, the production of Mining Mining’s mining areas in the future will undoubtedly be interrupted by guerrilla activities. The world's ore market is monopolized by the Jews, and the factories of the Future Group all rely on ore transportation from Mindanao. If raw materials are not supplied, the industrial production capacity of Anga Island and New Mat District will be seriously affected!
Looking at the position marked by Jiang Chen on the holographic map, Ivan touched the stubble on his chin, his eyes fixed on the holographic image like an eagle.
"Go directly through the Surigao Strait and land on Leyte Island?"
According to the two lines drawn by Jiang Chen, the Moro Army will land from Tacloban City, the capital of Leyte Province, with the support of Star Ring Trade. This will cut off Leyte Island stationed north of the Surigao Strait. On board the Philippine Army's supplies, and at the same time occupy the key points leading to Samar Island.
And once Samar is captured, Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines, will open its door. At that time, the Philippine president will have no choice but to go into exile.
"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded.
"The plan is very feasible." Ivan nodded.
"Where is the Philippine Army that landed on the mainland of Mindanao?" an officer asked.
"We can only hope that the Moro guerrillas will be better at playing chess. We have air supremacy on our side. As long as they are not stupid, it will not be difficult to deal with the Philippine guerrillas."
After a pause, Ivan looked at the officers and said loudly and forcefully.
"Prepare a landing plan immediately! Plant our flag on the Tacloban City Government Building within three days!"
"yes!"
