Therefore, after agreeing on a combat plan with Mountbatten, Zhou Jiping has been looking for a combat plan that is more suitable for the existing military strength of the Southern Alliance and has the least casualties. After conducting on-site reconnaissance in the north, he secretly drew up a practical plan
A feasible secret plan, and it was implemented without notifying Mountbatten. What Captain Barrow wants to implement now is this battle plan.
After conducting on-the-spot reconnaissance in the north, Zhou Jiping discovered the loopholes in the defense line of the Northern Army in Port Legalo. Currently, Masuari's primary defense target is Mountbatten, followed by Ma Kun, who may form an alliance with Mountbatten to deal with him.
Therefore, his main defensive forces are concentrated in these two directions. In addition, the internal employment situation of the Northern Army has always been far and near, so the gap in the defense line woven by Masuari is quite large when the troops are stretched thin.
Of course, this is not to say that Masuari's blockade force on the sea is weak. On the contrary, since Legallo Port is where Masuari has been operating for many years, and the port itself is a rare natural deep-water port on the East African coast, the port's
The coastal defense force is still very good, especially the nearly modern early warning and coastal defense system. Any invading enemy will feel a headache.
The frontal defense was strong, but the side defense line was full of loopholes. This made Zhou Jiping immediately think of the famous Maginot Line. Next, Zhou Jiping made an easy decision. Since they adopted a surprise attack tactic, why imitate the German army back then?
Bypassing this steel defense line? Especially when Zhou Jiping asked Captain Barrow and other old sailors who often lived on the coast of East Africa, his idea became more complete and clear.
According to Barrow and other sailors who have been in this sea for many years, there are several channels in the north and south of Legallo Port for small ships to dock. This does not mean that the locations of these channels are difficult to find, nor does it mean that the existence of these channels is
What secrets are there? In fact, many people know about their existence in these waterways. In most cases, these waterways are often used by some smuggling organizations to transport smuggled materials. Sometimes even the Northern Army itself uses these waterways to make some unjust things.
wealth
It's funny to say that these waterways that almost everyone knows are unknown to Masuari. The reason is also very simple. Once these waterways are known to Masuali and a warning force is set up, what will the officers of the Northern Army at all levels do?
How to make a fortune here? Therefore, both the underworld and the white people have a tacit understanding of the existence of these waterways, for fear that they will be cut off from making money inadvertently. Now, these waterways will usher in a group of the most powerful people.
power, what they want is the entire country of Montaya
After conducting land reconnaissance, Zhou Jiping sent Barrow and others to conduct a reconnaissance from the sea. Today, Captain Barrow led two landing boats in advance, with a total of 800 soldiers landing from these channels. Then, these soldiers will ambush in advance.
Under the leadership of the field company scouts on the shore, they attacked behind the defense line of Port Legallo. Only after they had fought behind the enemy, Zhou Jiping launched a surprise attack from the front.
Just having a landing position is not enough. Zhou Jiping also needs to solve the coastal defense radar system of the defenders of Port Legallo. Otherwise, as soon as the ship here docks, the defenders there will be discovered.
It's strange that these defenders who are used to taking black money don't collect benefits.
But solving the problem of the radar system is a difficult problem facing Zhou Jiping. The Northern Army's coastal defense system is very strict, and it is basically impossible to destroy it quietly. But once the radar is destroyed, it will only alert the enemy, which is not good.
At the critical moment, Johnson, who had always expressed his inconvenience to interfere in Montaya's internal affairs, helped Zhou Jiping a lot. Johnson promised that before the People's Army's maritime offensive was launched, an X warship that was undergoing "exercises" would "accidentally" enter.
In Muntaya's territorial waters, the radar waves emitted by this warship will have a jamming effect and will render the defenders' coastal defense radar ineffective.
In fact, this is not the first time that Johnson has helped Zhou Jiping and the Confederacy. According to Johnson's own words: We will not interfere in Montaya's internal affairs, but this does not prevent us from helping our friends to the best of our ability.
At the same time that Johnson spoke these friendly words, batches of supplies were added to the hands of the People's Army. These supplies included clothing, first aid medicines, weapons and ammunition, fuel oil...
When the second predetermined position was reached by Zhou Jiping, the four landing craft began to slow down, and the other two lightly loaded landing craft continued to sail north at full speed. They had the same mission as Captain Barrow, to find a suitable landing position and fight in a roundabout way.
The radar device on the ship has long since failed, which means that the mysterious warship has appeared, and the Southern Alliance's beach landing has been covered with a camouflage coat. Fortunately, the radio contact has not been interrupted, otherwise Zhou Jiping's command system
None of it works
At about 2:30 in the morning, Zhou Jiping received news one after another that the two directions from the north and the south had successfully docked. Immediately, Zhou Jiping gave the order to land on the beach!
The ship commanded by Captain Barrow has successfully docked, and the four homemade armored vehicles carried on board also drove ashore amidst a roar. Then, the searchlights installed on the armored vehicles suddenly lit up, and the dark rainy night suddenly turned on.
A huge hole was torn open. Four armored vehicles and eight searchlights modified from car headlights searched the beach and slowly moved inland.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in the dazzling light. Soon, the other lights also shone in, making the two intruders invisible. These two locals who looked particularly ordinary were not nervous.
Standing in the halo, he kept complaining dissatisfiedly, without showing any sign of worry or fear.
Damn it! Please move that thing away, we are almost cooked and one person is complaining.
Look, look, look what we have on our sleeves? The other one raised his arms and said on his arms, also wearing the same white and red armbands as other People's Army soldiers - he is one of his own!
Soon, Frank, the commander of the landing force along the way, found out. After a brief exchange, the two scouts from the field company put on their military uniforms, took out their guns from the hiding place, and guided the team to penetrate deeper.
As for the eight flamboyant searchlights, they still continued to be turned on arrogantly. Anyway, the vehicles that used to transport private goods arrived, and after paying a part of the benefits to the defenders, they also disembarked with great fanfare. If the attacking troops turned off the lights now, it would actually appear
