The father of the sword is Kong Jie

"So far, the time has matured. The whole of North China, even Central China, and South China have been completely reduced to a pot of porridge. The Japanese dispatched troops include the Kwantung Army going south. The main force is all contained within the Pass by our army. It will never be possible to gather in large numbers in a short time. The force responded quickly."

"beat!"

"Take the opportunity to break out of the eastern Mongolian defense line and completely break through the puppet western Manchuria defense line."

When the joint command was discussing the specific troop dispatch plan, Commander Fu was the first to put forward his own ideas.

Since the construction of the Eastern Mongolian Defense Line, and after the operations around the Eastern Mongolian Defense Line successfully repelled the Kwantung Army and the Mongolian Army.

Commander Fu and even the officers and men of the 35th Route Army had long been looking forward to attacking Puppet Manchuria.

Now that the reality has matured, everyone is holding back a strong desire in their hearts. They just want to break into Manchuria and kill the Japanese happily.

In order to secure the advance this time, the Eighth Route Army secretly assembled its main forces on the eastern Mongolian defense line. The 35th Route Army, 120th Division, and 129th Division headquarters also jointly established a joint command. Even the former enemy headquarters was secretly transferred to Mongolia this time. Responsible for the Eastern Region and responsible for the unified coordination and command of the United Front Bureau.

After Commander Fu finished speaking, the deputy chief of staff said:

"What Lao Fu said is absolutely correct. When we built the Mongolia Defense Line, our purpose was to paralyze the Japanese army's judgment to resist the attacks of the Mongolian Army and the Kwantung Army.

Now this line of defense is our best cover for sending troops to Puppet Manchuria.

No matter how we arrange this offensive deployment into Puppet Manchuria, it must be our first step to break into the Japanese army's external defense line through the eastern Mongolian defense line.

At present, the pass has been completely turned into a mess. We must seize the time to build and improve the original defensive offensive of the eastern Mongolian defense line in the direction of forward fortifications.

The general plan for the specific attack on Manchuria is divided into four major stages based on the results of our discussions over the past few days.

The first stage: break through the defense fortifications built by the Japanese opposite the Eastern Mongolian Defense Line, and completely tear open the gap in the Japanese defense line set up in western Puppet Manchuria.

The second phase will go south to Chifeng and Chengde. According to our original plan, with the old 129th Division as the main force, we will seek to completely penetrate the Kwantung Army in the shortest possible time while it is depleted and unable to recover. Keep your footing and open up the situation.

At the same time, the troops in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area launched an offensive against the Mongolian troops stationed in Zhangjiakou to contain the Mongolian troops stationed in Zhangjiakou and prevent the Japanese from advancing northward, thus providing cover for the advance of the 129th Division.

In addition, the troops in the Hebei Reliao base area completely destroyed the railway from Jinzhou to Beiping, and must cut off the railway artery between the North China Expeditionary Force and the Kwantung Army.

In the third stage, Chifeng, Chengde, Xilin Gol, Hailar and other places were captured. The northern cluster took the opportunity to cross the northern Greater Khingan Range and the central cluster that crossed the central Greater Khingan Range broke through the central defense line of the Greater Khingan Range, captured Qiqihar, conducted a feint attack on Ice City, and conquered the Yichun area with a partial division.

The southern cluster advanced to the outskirts of Jinzhou and attacked Tongliao.

In the fourth stage, relying on the Greater Khingan Mountains, the Northern Cluster, the Central Cluster, and the Southern Cluster used Tongliao, Qiqihar, and Qingcheng to start a tug-of-war with the Kwantung Army in winter.

In order to initially form a confrontation with the Kwantung Army in the Puppet Manchuria area..."

In the following meeting, the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff discussed in detail the specific troop deployment plan and the corresponding route selection, logistics preparations, and troop deployments in the roughly four stages. Collaborative combat planning, etc.

This is a campaign-level military decision-making conference.

The final decision was of course the deputy commander-in-chief.

Kong Jie represented the Special Experimental Zone and represented the Iron Triangle Group Army at the meeting.

He didn't speak much at the meeting, and kept listening to the leaders' opinions and analyses.

Kong Jie had already discussed the specific plan for entering the army with the leaders many times.

His mission this time was to command the Iron Triangle Group Army. After the first phase of the offensive on the Eastern Mongolian Defense Line ended successfully, he led the Iron Triangle mechanized combat troops to quickly attack in a roundabout way to the northern part of the Daxingan Mountains, and took the lead in conquering the Japanese Hailar Fortress Group. The Puppet Manchuria established a firm foothold in northern Manchuria and led the Kwantung Army in North Manchuria to coordinate the Eighth Route Army's operations on the central and southern fronts.

As for the first phase of the offensive launched on the eastern Mongolian defense line.

After the meeting, Kong Jie returned to the headquarters of the Iron Triangle Army.

The face is slumped.

When Li Yunlong saw Kong Jie's expression, he immediately became furious: "I said, Lao Kong, don't tell me that you didn't even get a main attack mission when you went to the meeting this time, right?"

Kong Jie was silent and did not speak immediately. Li Yunlong's crackling words followed:

"Old Kong, Old Kong, what do you want me to say about you? Since we prepared the battle plan to advance north half a year ago, our Iron Triangle Army has been hidden in the ice. There have been so many big battles, from northern Henan to Jiaodong, and then to Mengdong, we didn’t win a single game.

This time, the team finally gathered in Mengdong. The battle to advance north is about to begin. Don't tell me that we still have no battle.

If this continues, let alone a war, our Lao Li's guns will probably become rusty!

You said that you, Lao Kong, are now the most famous figure in our Eighth Route Army. Why are you so cowardly? Why don't you dare to jump up and fight with the deputy commander?

I said you should bring me with you to this meeting. With Lao Li here, who dares to compete with me for the main attack task? If you disobey him, pay him back! "

Looking at Li Yunlong who was quite excited, Kong Jie just glanced at him lightly, and then said calmly: "Old Li, if I remember correctly, the last time we went to the headquarters for a meeting, we went together. What happened in the end? Who is it? I usually yell so loudly that the whole world wants to hear it, but in the end, I was so stunned that I didn’t even dare to fart during the meeting.

What's wrong?

I'm going to take you, Old Li, with me this time. How dare you, Old Li, jump up and fight with the old brigade commander, teacher, and the others? "

cough cough-

Li Yunlong choked. In fact, he was just bragging. When he was in front of the old brigade commander, teacher, and deputy commander, he, Li Yunlong, was like a mouse surrounded by a group of cats. How could he dare to jump up and down? .

"Besides, I didn't say there was no main attack mission this time!"

"Ah?" Li Yunlong was stunned. His big face, which originally looked like an old wolf with bared teeth, almost burst into laughter: "So, we really succeeded in the main attack mission?"

Ding Wei on the side was overjoyed: "Haha, Lao Zhao, you are absolutely right. Watching Lao Li's face change is purely comedy, it's so fast that people can't react!

Look, he was baring his teeth just now, and now his tail is wagging again. "

Everyone laughed.

Li Yunlong said nonchalantly:

"Just laugh at me. Anyway, I have a war to fight, so I am happy in my heart and don't care about you. Lao Kong, tell me quickly, what is the main attack mission assigned to us by the headquarters this time?"

Kong Jie said: "The order from the headquarters, although our Iron Triangle Army is not allowed to attack in full this time, the task of the vanguard assault force of the main offensive force is ours.

We are responsible for forming an elite armored force to cooperate with the main force. As a vanguard and a sharp knife, we are the first to tear open the gap in the Japanese defense line and assist the main force to completely open up the situation. Hearing this, Li Yunlong was a little depressed: "Damn it, relationships are just about being a vanguard. I thought we could start a full-scale war!" "

"Why be anxious, Lao Li, when we reach the northern part of the Greater Khingan Mountains, there will be plenty of exciting battles for you to fight!" Kong Jie said with a smile.

The task assigned by the headquarters to the Iron Triangle Group this time is to give full play to the advantages of the Iron Triangle Group as the elite mechanized combat force of the Eighth Route Army.

Especially the advantages of advanced mechanized armored combat units.

"The armored troops were used as sharp knives to break through first, tearing a gap in the Japanese defense line. The coordinated infantry quickly followed up to further consolidate and expand the breakthrough to support the advancement of the main force."

When talking about specific offensive tactics, Li Yunlong spoke like this.

"Hehe, this is the best combat plan for infantry and tank coordination that we, Lao Li, have concluded since our armored force was established. After experiencing many armored force battles, we, Mr. Li, have summarized it."

"And it is very adaptable to the specific defense conditions of the Japanese army. The trenches of the Japanese defense line are not too deep, and there are no anti-tank fortifications to target our large-scale tank attack.

——The little devils outside the Mongolian defense line most likely think that it is impossible for us to take the initiative to attack Puppet Manchuria.

In addition, during this period, the entire North China, Central China, and South China regions were in chaos, and a lot of little Japs were deployed in this area, so the defensive force was already relatively weak.

Our armored troops suddenly launched a surprise attack. It's a damned thing if the devil could react. "

"Then let's fight quickly. If we don't fight, we'll be done. If we fight, we'll be shocked!"

Kong Jie said categorically: "Don't give the little devils any chance to make a comeback. Let's look at the map. In order to cooperate with the advancement of the main force this time, we have deployed nearly two elite armored corps and divided them into four attack directions, regardless of priority. Advance simultaneously.

The specific attack method still follows the old rules. Since we now have equipment advantages, we should make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.

After first attacking with heavy artillery and using smoke grenades to completely suppress the firepower of the Japanese defense line, they directly launched artillery, tank, and infantry-tank coordination. Before the Japanese army could re-establish a new round of fire counterattack network, they defeated the Japanese defense with lightning speed. The fortifications were completely broken through.

In this attack, our armored forces serve as the sharp dagger of the main vanguard force. It can also be said to be the first battle of the northward advance plan.

This has to be a good start.

We also pulled out our Type 43 200mm long-range heavy rocket launcher to show off. This time we killed the chicken with a butcher's knife. What we wanted was to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, and directly destroy the military confidence of the Kwantung Army in one battle. "

This Type 43 200mm long-range heavy rocket is a new type of inertia-guided rocket produced by the Audio-Technica Defense Group after introducing mechanical gyroscope-related technology from the United States.

The rocket launcher is equipped on a heavy-duty chassis introduced from the Stark all-terrain tractor. It uses a modular launch box design and has a range of 60 kilometers. It has relatively high accuracy and good maneuverability. When used with a special loading vehicle, it can deliver sustained firepower in a short period of time. output.

43式200毫米重型火箭炮，配合42式122毫米车载火箭炮，43式122毫米履带式火箭炮构成核心机动火箭弹部队。

43式120毫米自行走迫榴炮，43式130毫米加农炮，43式122毫米加榴炮的新式支援火炮部队。

These two battle-level support firepowers are the confidence of the Iron Triangle Army against the Kwantung Army.

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Haha, Lao Kong, you are so generous! Your arrangement is too to our liking, Lao Li, there is no need to say anything, just fight like this!"

It just so happened that during this period, I heard a lot of rumors, saying that our Iron Triangle Group Army is rich in gold, and we are not allowed to participate in any battle, but the best equipment and resources have been tilted towards us.

Some even question our combat effectiveness.

Damn it, this time we have to let all the troops take a good look at what the absolute ace of our Eighth Route Army is, the absolute elite! "

But Kong Jie immediately became vigilant and said in particular: "Old Zhao, you have to keep an eye on Old Li. Now it's not like when I was the regiment leader, I could only lead a regiment and hold a submachine gun." It's time to charge into battle with the soldiers.

The commander must stay at the commander's post, and Lao Li cannot be allowed to mess around anymore. "

"Lao Kong, don't worry, I'll watch him!" Zhao Gang replied.

Li Yunlong: "..."

——Well, I really wanted to have fun and charge into battle with a tank, but now I have no hope.

In fact, with Li Yunlong's urine, he really dared to do this.

After all, when he later became a division commander, he was able to lead a commando team to engage in special operations, insert himself directly into Chu Yunfei's headquarters, and conduct raids with small groups of troops. What else could he, Li Yunlong, not dare to do?

Such a guy seems to be a fighting maniac at heart.

Kong Jie didn't want to go to the hospital to see him, Lao Li.

Besides, if it was really suitable for special operations and beheading operations, there would be a commando team like Duan Peng and his team!

At present, the Japanese outer defense line has not been completely broken and the Japanese camp has not been completely broken, which is not suitable for the penetration of assault troops.

The external confrontation between the two sides competed on the strength of the defenses, the level of equipment on both sides, and the strength of the firepower configuration.

This will be a tough fight with no bells and whistles.

It was Chu Yunfei's first official participation in the Iron Triangle Army's battle against Japan. Although he didn't say much at the meeting, he was filled with wonder in his heart.

Following Kong Jie's order, the troops' trump card equipment appeared frequently.

Only then did Chu Yunfei realize that in the past few years, all parties thought that the Eighth Route Army had developed rapidly and its equipment level had been greatly improved. It had all kinds of artillery, armored vehicles, and even aviation units.

But the world still underestimates the exaggeration of the Eighth Route Army's real equipment level.

This time the heavy rocket made its debut.

Chu Yunfei simply shut up and said nothing.

Why?

In the face of such a weapon of war and the absolute firepower gap, all conspiracies and external factors are just decoration.

What's more, the Eighth Route Army is a force with strong cohesion and powerful combat effectiveness.

Chu Yunfei knew without even thinking that once the elite armored forces of the Iron Triangle launched a complete offensive, there would be no suspense about the outcome of the battle.
