The early deployment of the 17th Armored Division to Sukkur will inevitably occupy a large amount of transportation resources, which will certainly affect the ongoing military operations.
However, the main battlefield of the 5th Marine Division is not here.
In Ding Zhennan's view, there is no need to explain to Hou Chensheng, as after the 17th Armored Division enters the field, the 5th Marine Division will be headed to the East Coast.
Nevertheless, this does not mean there is no need for concern.
After sending off Hou Chensheng and Fu Weimin, Ding Zhennan called Liu Zunshan, who was far away at the front line, and instructed him to return immediately to the frontline headquarters.
Since it was a feigned attack, Ding Zhennan did not oppose Liu Zunshan's proposal to go to the front line to command the troops.
Of course, this arrangement was also to enable Liu Zunshan to gain a deeper understanding of the Fan Army, in preparation for the upcoming landing operations.
