Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Meihe area, Qiongya Independent Team Headquarters.

After briefly explaining the headquarters' battle plan, Li Yunlong took out a slightly damp document from his chest pocket.

This is the list of weapons for the first wave of aid, which records in detail the types and quantities of the supplies, and even the production units are clearly written.

Although he had prepared himself mentally in advance, Secretary Feng still couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the details of the five-digit numbers.

"Ah? I got rich?"

Secretary Feng howled loudly, then grabbed Lao Li's shoulders excitedly. But he quickly regained his composure and said to his colleagues worriedly:

"Brigade Commander Li, how do you plan to transport these light and heavy weapons on the list?"

"The Qiongzhou Strait is the enemy's key defense area. They have set up a warning network in the entire sea area, and there are also special mine boats patrolling around the clock. Shipping by sea would involve great risks, so I'm afraid it won't work."

"By the way, there is a question I never had the chance to ask before. How did your Marine Brigade break through the enemy's blockade and march all the way to the central mountainous area?"

Li Yunlong and his team were not surprised by Secretary Feng's joy and doubts. It was because this was not the first time such a thing had happened.

To be honest, the Eighth Route Army's recent development speed is indeed somewhat exaggeratedly rapid.

In just three years, the troops not only improved the existing army system, but also built a powerful air force from scratch that dominated the Asian battlefield.

Even the navy, which was previously unthinkable, has now gradually become combat-ready under the guidance of the French advisory group and can take on part of the coastal defense tasks.

Such earth-shaking changes, even people like Lao Li who have experienced it personally, will feel incredible when they look back and summarize.

Even the bigwigs at the headquarters cannot predict what the troops will look like in the future, let alone a cadre like Secretary Feng who has lost contact with his superiors.

Fortunately, the three commanders of the 1st Marine Brigade came prepared. Facing Secretary Feng's confusion, Li Yunlong first nudged his own political commissar with his elbow, and then said:

"Old Zhao, bring out the latest version of our Eighth Route Army propaganda brochure. Words are not enough, let Secretary Feng take a look at the materials compiled by Xinhua News Agency."

In order to enable the comrades of the Qiongya Independent Team to connect with the outside world as soon as possible, Zhao Gang went to the headquarters before the operation began and asked the Deputy Chief of Staff for a brochure that had not yet been issued.

这本类似于编年史的书，记录了自1939年8月14日至1942年6月14日期间发生的大小战役，以及TG的具体发展变化。

As a highly educated cadre, Secretary Feng adheres to the principle of seeing is believing.

Obviously, obtaining information through a combination of pictures and texts is more to his liking.

"This is incredible. I never expected that the border area would undergo such a huge change in just a few years."

"Jin and Sui, plus half of Henan, Shandong, Hebei, and Chahar. This much land would have been unthinkable to me a dozen years ago."

"Wow! The troops have even set foot in Mobei? It seems that the Gallagher Declaration that the Beiyang government did not dare to sign back then has finally been rewritten in our generation!"

The first few chapters of the brochure focus on introducing TG's current sphere of influence. Each corresponding major battle is also marked in the book.

Through the text and pictures, Secretary Feng seemed to see with his own eyes the commanders of the battles who used their troops like gods, and the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy on the front lines. When he saw that there was hope for the return of the land that was once seized by imperialism, he clapped his hands excitedly.

This scene made the three commanders of the 1st Marine Brigade smile.

As for the Gallagher Declaration?

They are also familiar with this matter.

The Beiyang government did not sign the treaty due to many reasons such as the faction. But the situation of TG is different. The border areas will definitely take back all the lands that have been lost in this world war.

······
After more than half an hour of cramming, Secretary Feng barely understood the changes that had taken place in recent years and had a general understanding of the border region's current military capabilities.

The Eighth Route Army now not only has an air force, but also has the ability to carry out long-distance raids and bomb the enemy's homeland.

Adding the airport just mentioned by my colleague, the way the headquarters transports supplies is naturally clear: air transport.

The doubts in his mind were resolved. Secretary Feng quickly took out a hand-drawn map from his drawer and immediately explained it to his comrades in the 1st Marine Brigade:

"The Japanese controlled three large airports in Qiongya, namely Haikou Dayingshan Airport, Ledong Huangliu Airport, and Sanya Bay Military Port Airport."

"In terms of scale, Huangliu is the best. Not only does it have two cross-shaped concrete runways, but it also has a wide range of large-scale supporting facilities. You can almost occupy it and use it right away."

"Dayingshan is the only active airport of the Japanese. According to our recent reconnaissance, there are six light bombers, seven Zero fighters, and thirteen Type 96 carrier-based fighters at the Haikou Seventh Base."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li, Zhao and Xing immediately surrounded him.

The three commanders looked at the map on the table and started to work out a battle plan for attacking the airport.

Secretary Feng was also busy. Although he was not familiar with the combat style of the 1st Marine Brigade, he was familiar with the terrain and could always point out the loopholes in the friendly forces' deployment.

An hour later, the first version of the plan was officially released.

The core buildings of the airports occupied or built by the Japanese in Qiongya were basically out of the threat of conventional army equipment, and the military restricted areas were very large.

This design is clearly intended to bully the local armed forces because they do not have heavy weapons.

It's a pity that the Marine Brigade is not an ordinary unit. They are not only regular troops, but also the most powerful elite troops in the whole country.

Even if the three parachute regiments and artillery support companies did not carry 105mm and 75mm self-propelled artillery in this operation, the 81mm and 120mm mortars were enough to crack the turtle shell of the Japanese Marine Corps.

After the temporary meeting, Secretary Feng immediately ordered the signalmen in the base to notify troops at all levels to carry out reconnaissance work and keep a close eye on the Japanese who were still raiding the base.

"Brigade Commander Li, we must let the Qiongya Independent Team participate in this mission."

"In terms of combat effectiveness, we are indeed not comparable to the 1st Marine Brigade. But our comrades are familiar with the terrain of each combat area and have a very good mass base, so they are definitely capable of performing auxiliary work."

"Great! I couldn't ask for more!" (End of this chapter)
