Just as the drone formation was attacking.

The Air Force fighter formation was also attacking a Javanese reinforcement force in Padang County.

"Boom!"

An air-to-ground missile destroyed a fleeing transport vehicle.

The ground transport vehicle was blown up instantly, then rolled over and fell heavily to the ground.

Compared to the drone strike, the battle here was much smaller.

After all, the ammunition carried was limited.

But the lethality was not small.

Because it was located in the valley, the direction of the Javanese army's escape was restricted.

After dropping hundreds of bombs, leaving behind burning and broken cars and corpses on the ground, the fighter formation left.

Not long after, when the war stopped, some farmers around plucked up the courage to come forward to check the situation.

However, after seeing the scene full of bright red, like hell, they vomited instantly.

Palembang.

The Second Military District Command in the city.

"Report, Jambi City has sent a request for help, requesting immediate reinforcements, they can no longer withstand the enemy's attack."

Hearing this, Uso looked solemn, looking at the battle map in front of him.

Then he asked the Chief of Staff Leipzig beside him: "Where is the reinforcement force of the 1st Military District?"

"According to the time, they should be less than 100 kilometers away from Jambi."

"Hurry up, if they continue to move so slowly, I'm afraid Subir can't hold on."

"Okay, I'll go and urge them."

Just as Leipzig was about to make a phone call to urge the 1st Military District to speed up and reinforce Jambi as soon as possible.

Seeing a colleague coming over with a serious expression, it was the deputy commander of the military district, Draven.

"What's wrong? What happened? "930"

"

Dreven didn't say anything, but handed him the phone in his hand.

Leipzig took it with a puzzled look.

Then he watched the video on his phone.

But his expression became more and more solemn, and his face turned pale at the end.

"This..."

"What's wrong?"

Uso saw him like this.

"General, the reinforcements from the First Military Region can't come."

"What do you mean?"

Uso asked with a frown.

Dreven sighed and said in a low voice: "We came to reinforce the northern region, but were attacked by enemy fighter planes, with tens of thousands of casualties. We can no longer reinforce Jambi."

"What?"

"This... How is this possible?"

Uso's face changed drastically.

"The video is out and has spread online."

Dreven said in a gloomy tone: "It is said that in this operation, Xinhan dispatched more than 300 drones and nearly 100 fighter jets, dropping thousands of bombs and missiles."

"Our army lacks advanced air defense radar systems and weapons, and suffered heavy losses."

Uso's faceHis face changed again and again, and he took the phone from Leipzig. The screen was full of burning scrap metal, corpses, and scarlet blood. Everything showed that the 1st Military District that came to reinforce was almost wiped out.

Thump, thump, thump...

Uso staggered a few steps.

He looked dazed.

He couldn't help but feel sad.

First, he felt sorry for the tens of thousands of troops.

Second, the tens of thousands of troops in the 1st Military District were wiped out, which meant that Jambi had lost support. It would fall in less than a day.

By then, Xinhan would definitely go all out to attack Palembang City.

As for why they didn't choose to go north to attack Medan and other places.

It's very simple. They just want to seize Palembang and then push the front line southward.

As long as Palembang is conquered and Bandar Lampung is taken, the connection between Java and Sumatra will be completely cut off.

In addition, the 1st Military Region suffered heavy losses.

There will be no resistance on Sumatra.

Taking Sumatra will be a piece of cake.

"The situation in Jambi is critical now. Either we draw 5 battalions from our side to form a reinforcement force and temporarily reinforce Jambi. However, if we do this, we can only hold out for a few more days and cannot change the situation of Jambi's fall."

"If we don't reinforce Jambi, then order Subir to lead the remaining troops to retreat, and we will send people to support them."

"Take the remaining troops back to Palembang, and then fight a decisive battle with Xinhan."

After a pause, Draven continued: "I personally prefer to let Subir withdraw, so that we can make a fist, and then fight a fierce battle with Xinhan in Palembang."

"I disagree."

Leipzig raised objections.

"If we lose Jambi, it means we will lose our support, and the enemy will gather in Palembang.

They have a large number of fighters and drones, and their firepower is several times stronger than ours. How long do you think we can hold out?"

"On the contrary, if we urgently reinforce Jambi now, although it cannot fundamentally change the problem of Jambi's eventual fall, it can relieve the pressure on Palembang.

And in this war, we can't fight head-on. It's a war of attrition. As long as we can delay time as much as possible, The more favorable the situation is for us.

Jakarta is already urgently seeking external assistance. In this case, I think we should do our best to help Jambi. ”

“Five battalions are not enough. I think we should send eight infantry battalions to Jambi. In this way, Jambi can hold out longer.”

Although the new Han cut off the main traffic route of the Sunda Strait between Sumatra and Java and sank the reinforcement ships, there are still a large number of civilian ships passing through the Baixiangyang direction to send reserve forces and various combat supplies to Sumatra.

As a result, Kota Agung, a small city in the past, suddenly attracted a large number of people and became a transit point for supplies and personnel.

Now, there are nearly 80,000 Javanese troops in Palembang, most of whom are in reserve.

In addition, the military strength of Bandar Lampung has increased from 10,000 at the beginning to more than 40,000.

If the Sunda Strait had not been cut off by the New Han Navy, the materials and personnel from Java Island to reinforce Sumatra Island would have to double or triple.

There are patriots in every country.

Besides, this is a national war.

There are many people in Java who are eager to join the army.

Besides, the population base is there.

However, most of them are Javanese who signed up to join the army.

There are also Sundanese, but they are much less than Javanese.

After all, the Sundanese live in the western part of Java Island. For them, even if they lose Sumatra Island, the loss of benefits is not great.

Moreover, in Java, their status is far lower than that of the Javanese, who have a large population, and is only slightly better than other ethnic minorities. In this case, naturally, there are not as many people willing to fight for Java as there are Javanese.

In short, they will not get any benefits if they win, and they will not lose anything if they lose. In this case, how many people are willing to risk their lives?

After discussion, Uso finally agreed to send 8 infantry battalions to Jambi.

The two places are not far apart, about 250 kilometers, and if they are fully reinforced, they can arrive in about five hours.

Just when Palembang dispatched troops to reinforce Jambi, it was located at the estuary of the Musi River.

The Xinhan dock landing ship is unloading, and the roll-on/roll-off ship is also tied together by a special engineering ship and a pontoon bridge vehicle to solve the problem of difficulty in unloading without a dedicated dock.

A large number of armored vehicles, Type 72 and 72B3M tanks, wheeled rocket launchers, wheeled tank guns and other weapons and equipment were transported from the ship.

And quickly established a defense line.

And the batch that arrived was the 3rd Medium Combined Brigade, the 4th Medium Combined Brigade, and the remaining part of the 3rd Infantry Division, namely the 19th Medium Combined Brigade.

Currently the New Han National Defense Army.

There are a total of 2 heavy combined brigades, namely the 1st and 2nd heavy combined brigades.

There are quite a few medium combined brigades, and the independent organization includes the 3rd and 4th combined brigades.

In addition to these two independent numbers, there are also the 1st Armored Division, the 2nd Armored Division and the 3rd and 4th Infantry Divisions. The 12 brigades under these four divisions are all medium combined brigades.

The rest of the National Defense Army numbers, including those still being formed, are all light combined brigades.

In addition to the National Defense Force, the Guards also have three heavy divisions, which are currently composed of one Leopard 2a7 heavy composite brigade, one medium composite brigade and one tactical support brigade, with a full complement of more than 17,000 people.

The tactical support brigade includes many arms, such as the air aviation regiment, the drone strike regiment, and the long-range artillery regiment, the engineer battalion, the reconnaissance battalion, etc.

It is also an attempt by Xinhan to deal with large-scale land operations.

Especially against countries like Longguo and the United StatesThis kind of superpower.

In terms of the number of tanks, armor and helicopters, it is definitely not as good as the Longguo Group Army and the US heavy armored division, but Xinhan is not without its own advantages.

Its own advantage is in the field of drones. A drone strike regiment is equipped with more than 20 unmanned swarm launchers that can launch more than a thousand drones within 5 minutes.

In addition, it is also equipped with various types of reconnaissance and attack type tactical drones, with a total scale of 2,000.

Comparing with superpowers in armor, helicopters, and artillery is definitely not better.

If they exert a little effort, you will be exhausted.

So, you can only play to your own advantages and take shortcuts...

Even so, I dare not say that a Xinhan heavy armored division can beat a US heavy armored division.

A US heavy armored division has 3 brigade combat teams, 1 combat aviation brigade, 1 brigade artillery and 1 support brigade under its command.

Both in terms of size and number of people, they are much stronger than New China.

However, New China's one division can compete with the two brigade-level combat teams of the Americans. (To read the exciting novels, go to Fulu Novel Network!)

Palembang reinforced Jambi and was soon discovered by New China's drones.

Whether it is Palembang, Jambi, Bandar Nampong, or even the Sunda Strait, all have reconnaissance and strike drones deployed.

New China does not have much else, but it has a lot of drones.

In terms of the number of military drones, New China is No. 2, and no one dares to say No. 1, not even Longguo.

There are as many as 200,000 drones of all sizes.

At present, who in the world can compare?

New China has already assigned drones to the squads.

And each synthetic battalion has a special drone company.

Each brigade also has a drone battalion.

There is also a drone regiment in the division.

It is also the only country in the world that has applied drone swarm tactics to actual combat.

As for large reconnaissance and strike drones, the two fastest-growing countries, Longguo and the United States, have less than 2,000 of them combined.

There is no way, drones are too important in modern warfare.

It is like opening a God's perspective. []

And this perspective can also give you "warmth".

Before Xinhan was able to abuse the Three Kingdoms, in addition to the fighter jets, the second was drones.

Drones are very good at dealing with ground forces.

Especially when dealing with some countries that do not have anti-drone capabilities, it is almost a massacre.

Xinhan.

Chang'an.

After seeing the Javanese army in Palembang City, they dared to go out to reinforce Jambi.

Li Qifeng couldn't help laughing: "Are the Javanese army leaders stupid? We just air-strike their reinforcements in the northern region, and they don't learn their lesson. They dare to reinforce Jambi in broad daylight? Aren't they afraid that we will air-strike again?"

"They have no choice. Jambi is in danger." Zhang Weizhen said with a smile.

The battle ahead went surprisingly smoothly, which made him very happy.

"Oh? Did Zhou Mingshen and his men take over Jambi?"

"Soon, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to take it down completely before dark."

Li Qifeng showed a look of realization, then laughed and said, "No wonder Palembang City, regardless of the risk, also urgently needs reinforcements. It turns out that they can't hold on."

"Hey, Lao Zhang, do you think you should ask Zhou Mingshen to slow down the attack and surround the reinforcements?"

"Draw out all the people in Palembang City and gather them together to annihilate them. In this way, we don't have to fight street battles with the Javanese army in Palembang City."

In field battles, Xinhan can completely crush them by 1.6.

Street fighting still affects the advantages of its own equipment, and it is also easy to damage the buildings in Palembang City. If it is rebuilt in the future, it will also be a considerable expense.

Zhang Weizhen pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"It will probably be difficult to lure them out again."

"Besides, there are too many uncertainties in besieging a point and attacking the reinforcements, and it will take too long. Your Highness hopes that we can end the battle as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Li Qifeng nodded and did not propose besieging a point and attacking the reinforcements again.

"How do we deal with the reinforcements from Java? Send the Air Force and drones?"

"No, let the 18th Brigade go. Aren't they stationed at the airport? Let them leave some personnel behind, and the rest will deal with the reinforcements from Java."

"Also, order Zhou Mingshen to take over the entire Jambi before dark."

"Okay! I'll go and inform him!"

"Lao Li, wait a minute."

"Why? Is there anything else?"

"Well, let someone print 1 million Chinese leaflets, and write that the content is to ask the Chinese to leave Palembang City. We are going to launch a general attack, and then let the Air Force send transport planes to transport these leaflets to the airspace above Palembang City and drop the leaflets."

Zhang Weizhen thought for a while and said.

The main purpose of doing this is to reduce the casualties of the Chinese and persuade those Chinese who are still reluctant to leave their homes to leave quickly to avoid heavy casualties after the war.

After all, there are millions of Chinese in Palembang City.

Li Qifeng understood what he meant, nodded, said "OK!", and then left.

Jambi.

The 18th Medium Combined Brigade under the 3rd Infantry Division received the order.

The brigade commander immediately convened a brigade meeting to discuss the combat plan.
