The army was highly reliant on logistics, so the Thousand Islands Kingdom's army had been moving along the coast. Traces of the Thousand Islands Kingdom's army could be seen in all the major counties north and south of Pontenak. They seemed to be scattered, but in fact, they were all heading toward Pontenak.
One of them had four armored battalions as the vanguard, while the other had an infantry brigade as the vanguard. The 10,000-man army looked very aggressive.
The Thousand Island Kingdom's army only had a total of 210,000 soldiers. The number of soldiers they had dispatched this time was not small.
The Thousand-island Nation was known as the Nation of Ten Thousand Islands. It had a land area of 1.9 million square kilometers. With such a large land area, it only had a total of 200,000 soldiers. It was obvious that the pressure on its defense was great. It was already considered good to be able to squeeze out so many soldiers to come to Pontenak.
However, the government of the Thousand-island Country was now considering recruiting soldiers and expanding the size of their army. They had made a lot of money from selling oil in the past few years, but all of this depended on the situation of the upcoming war.
If they won, everyone would be happy and they could save a lot of money. If they failed, the consequences would be very serious. This would also be a big blow to the government of the Thousand Island Country.
Their temporary headquarters was set up in one of the cities in West Kalimantan Province. The other provinces were extremely inconvenient to transport. There were not even a few good roads. They completely relied on inland river transportation.
West Kalimantan had good transportation because of the large number of oil fields.
Li Jiulong was now staying in the city hall of the former Pontenak City. The security here was very tight now. There was a commander's guard battalion responsible for defense outside. The guard battalion mainly used light weapons. There were only about 300 people in total.
Li Jiulong stood in the tall building of the municipal government and looked down. Then, he said,"How's the arrangement going?"
There were only two people behind him. They were Tan Ya, who was in charge of intelligence, and Han Fei, who was in charge of military affairs.
Tanya was the first to step forward and answer." Reporting to the commander, we have basically grasped their operation plan. They are expected to make a move at 12 noon because this is the peak time for work. We have already asked Brigade Commander Han to prepare the arrest team to ensure that nothing goes wrong!”
Now, Li Jiulong had mobilized another mechanized infantry battalion to Pontenak to strengthen the security of the city. If there was chaos here, something would really happen.
" Let's wait for those who haven't shown themselves to come out." Li Jiulong nodded and said," We'll take action immediately. Brigade Commander Han, how's your deployment going?"”
Han Fei replied," Reporting to the commander. The 1st Armored Brigade is ready. They are stationed in the military base near the airport. The air force is also ready. We can attack immediately when the commander gives the order!"”
Currently, the only military force in Pontenak was an infantry battalion, and there was also an armed police brigade made up of mobilized soldiers. The total strength was only 600 to 700 people, and the rest were transferred to the military base to supplement the armored brigade.
Fortunately, the military of the Thousand-island Kingdom had given him a few days 'time, so he took advantage of these few days to establish two more mechanical infantry battalions.
The two battalions were secretly stationed outside of Pontenak. Once the Thousand Islands Kingdom's army attacked, they could quickly set up defenses and prevent a single Thousand Islands Kingdom soldier from charging in.
When the Thousand-island Kingdom's army attacked, the 1st Armored Brigade would immediately attack and attack their rear, causing them to be in chaos. The two mecha infantry battalions would be responsible for defending the front line until the armored brigade was wiped out.
They could only do this now that they did not have enough troops. Otherwise, they could just push them over. How could they let them attack?
The Air Force had expanded a little. There was only one Intruder Fighter Squadron, and it had four flying squads. Each squad had four Intruder Fighters. Including the Intruder Fighter Squadron, there were a total of 17.
The Vulture Squadron was expanded to two squadrons, with a total of 34 Vultures and a small team of four Harrier fighters. Their main mission was to fight ships.
The Red Alert Air Force was also gradually expanding. Fortunately, there was the Red Alert Airport. Otherwise, the logistics personnel alone would be enough to limit the rapid expansion of the number of fighter jets.
