Just as the War of Revolution was in full swing and they were preparing to take over the core of Wu Fu's forces, Cai Rui and Li Yunlong led the 1st division through Jiang City to Zhenyue City.
In Zhenyue City, Cai Rui looked at the city walls that had been in disrepair for a long time and immediately gave up on relying on the fortifications to fight against the British-French Mixed Brigade.
Cai Rui's gaze wandered around the rainforest south of the Southern Mountain Range, and a crazy idea popped up in his mind.
Decisive battle in the rainforest!
Moreover, he did not intend to give the British and French coalition forces the chance to enter the Yunnan border. He wanted to end the battle outside the border.
" Li Yunlong, pass down the order. Order the soldiers to move forward lightly. Except for the weapons, ammunition, and medicine that they have to bring, do not bring any other heavy weapons, not even heavy machine guns!”
"Let's go here!"
"Let's fight to the death at Gambolu at the border between MDT and Yue Nan!”
Li Yunlong did not immediately express his opinion on Cai Rui's decision to overturn the previous plan. Instead, he pointed at Mandalay and Myitkyina, which were located west of Yunnan, on the map with some worry.
"Young Marshal, if the British army uses the China-Myanmar railway line to reach Yunnan and occupy Zhenyue City from the rear, cutting off our retreat, then without the resources from the rear, our army will be very passive on the battlefield!”
Unexpectedly, Cai Rui shook his head in response to Li Yunlong's worries.
"Division Commander Li, if my opponent was you, I would never dare to do this!”
"But don't forget, our opponent is the British!”
" Do you think that the well-equipped British army, as the victors of the First World War, will fight in a roundabout way to deal with us, the 'small warlords' that they don't put in their eyes?”
"Hehe, they are too arrogant to do that. In their eyes…we don't deserve such treatment!”
Looking back at the performance of Fusang's army in occupying the colonies of Japan and France, Cai Rui felt that calling it an army was simply an insult to the army.
Especially after the Chinese sent an expeditionary force to rescue the trapped Y Corps, the British did not even say a word of retreat, causing the expeditionary force's defense line to be breached and resulting in a huge defeat. This made Cai Rui look down on them even more.
With such an army, their country deserved to be occupied by the German army in less than half a month when World War II broke out.
"Therefore, the only thing they can do is to join forces with the French army and head towards Zhenyue City. Ganbolu is the best place for the two armies to meet!”
"If we want to fight, we'll give the enemy a head-on blow when they are at their most arrogant after they join forces!”
Hearing Cai Rui's murderous intent toward the Anglo-French allied forces, Li Yunlong, who understood his Young Marshal's plan, expressed his support and immediately conveyed the order to the various regiments of the First Division.
At the same time, on the eastern battleground near Baise, Guangdong.
In Fuzhou City, Chu Yunfei, the commander of the Eastern Front, was holding a pair of binoculars and looking at the Fifth Army of the Revolutionary Army that was heading toward Fuzhou City. A confident smile suddenly appeared on his solemn face.
"Men, pass down the order. Order the guard battalions and logistics battalions to stay in Fuzhou City. The two divisions withdraw from the city and rely on Fuzhou City to establish a military defense line and build a position!”
"Today, I, Chu Yunfei, will fight with Li Fulin's 5th army!”
Chu Yunfei had his own pride and bones. Facing the incoming Fifth Army, he wanted to prove to the world that the Dian Army was invincible.
"Understood!"
Soon, the 4th division commander Wang Ben and the 5th division commander Zhou Yuan received Chu Yunfei's order. Although they were puzzled by Chu Yunfei's decision to give up the city wall, they quickly became excited.
Compared to holing up in the city, they were more willing to set up a battle formation and fight the enemy openly!
That way, even if he lost, he would at least lose without regrets.
However, would the well-equipped Dian Army lose? They didn't believe this at all.
Li Fulin, who was sitting in the car of the 5th Army of the Revolutionary Army, soon received the report from the soldiers. He observed the Dian Army outside the city through the binoculars and fell silent.
"The commander of the Dian army is a strong opponent. Hehe, if he didn't have enough confidence, he would never let the Dian army fight us outside the city!”
"Pass down my order. When we are three miles away from Fuzhou City, we will set up a military formation there and gradually advance towards the enemy!”
"In terms of positional warfare, the revolutionary army from Huangpu is not afraid of anyone!”
Although Chu Yunfei was arrogant, it didn't mean that Li Lin didn't have the courage to fight.
On the city wall of Fuzhou, Chu Yunfei looked at the 5th Army of the Revolutionary Army, who was building a military base a few miles away. His face revealed a trace of craftiness.
The distance of three miles was already within the range of the German howitzer.
