Age of Rebirth

The military meeting was over, and everyone who had to go, including the division commander Tang Qiuli, left the venue. Only the twelve brigade commanders directly under the corps gathered together and muttered. At the military meeting just now, all the troops participating in the war had The specific task, only the number one main force of the independent division - the directly subordinate corps, was not mentioned at all.

How can the brigade commanders of the directly subordinate corps, known as the number one main force corps, who have always taken on important tasks like this, endure it? When they got together, they began to guess the real intentions of the division commander Tang Qiuli. The corps has become the general reserve team for the battle, why don't you suffocate the big guys to death?

Just when everyone was guessing but couldn't make up their minds, Major General Xiao Jinshan, the brigade commander of the Ninth Brigade, said that he had an idea of ​​his own, which would allow him to find out the real intention of the division commander, and also save him from worrying about it here. .

Immediately, Xiao Jinshan became the protagonist, "Old Xiao, if you have any good ideas, let me know for your reference!" It’s a trick, speak out, and the general will brainstorm!” “Old Xiao, if you really have a way, you can know how the division commander uses the corps directly under it. There is nothing to say. From now on, your old Xiao’s business will be about the big guy’s business! "Good guy, a dozen people, surrounded Xiao Jinshan in the middle, chatting all over the place, some complimented and flattered, and some patted their chests as a guarantee.

Xiao Jinshan was full of complacency, no matter if it was a compliment or a guarantee, he would accept all the orders. His appearance made the big guy's teeth itch with anger, and Chu Ziye couldn't help it. "Old Xiao, you have something to say and fart! In front of these old brothers. What are you trying to do? Why, you, Xiao Jinshan, are not directly under the Corps?"

The big guys sounded right, they are all members of our Corps, so why should they say good things to you, Xiao Jinshan? So, a dozen major generals rolled up their arms and sleeves, and they wanted to give Xiao Jinshan some mysteries. Eat hard.

Xiao Jinshan saw it.Hurriedly begging for mercy, the anger is hard to break, "Everyone, didn't you give me a chance to speak? - Well, my solution is to send someone to find the division commander. But don't ask what the mission of the directly subordinate regiment is, but go to Ask the division commander, what pre-war preparations should be done by the brigades directly under the corps, and in this way, what is the division commander thinking. Don't we know?"

That's right, everyone's eyes lit up, what a good idea, "Snap!" Major General Fang Yuanshan, the commander of the Tenth Brigade, patted Xiao Jinshan on the shoulder heavily.Stretching out his thumb, "Old Xiao, you still have a lot of evil ideas! You are resourceful! Good ideas! ——Then who will let them go?" Fang Yuanshan said, his eyes swept towards Liu Hongzhang.

Fang Yuanshan didn't need to hint, the eyes of the big guys were all on Liu Hongzhang, and Liu Hongzhang was so frightened that he was sweating, and his hands were like windmills, "No——No, absolutely not, I, see the teacher now , the calf trembled, and he couldn't even speak well. Can he do such an important thing? - I think it's better to go to Ouyang, he is the most honest, and the teacher usually treats him well, yes, Brigadier Ouyang is the most suitable The candidate!" [

Liu Hongzhang's head shook like a rattle, and he refused straight away. To be honest, Liu Hongzhang was really scared to go to see the division commander. He was a major general and deputy battalion commander because he never admitted his mistakes, let alone spying on the military situation. Wouldn't it be a mission for him to be sent to his door and be severely punished by the teacher?

Seeing Liu Hongzhang backing away shyly, Chu Ziye approached excitedly: "I said Brigadier Liu, usually, in front of your brothers, you always regard yourself as the boss, and you always pose as the commander of the first brigade. Stance, why, this time it's the boss's turn to stand out, so back down? Or, you ask the teacher, let's change positions, and I will go to the first brigade. Today, I, Lao Chu, will take the lead for the brothers Think about it!"

Anyway, Liu Hongzhang just refused to make such a move. Later, when he was forced by everyone, he reluctantly agreed. However, Chu Ziye, Xiao Jinshan, and Ouyang Yishan were recruited. Take Ouyang Yishan to the front, let him be the representative of the big guys, and go to the teacher to learn Xiao Jinshan's words.

Ever since, Ouyang Yishan, an honest man, was sent to the front desk. Ouyang Yishan was embarrassed to say that he couldn't get rid of these people, so he had to swallow his saliva and reluctantly agreed to be the first bird. Under the encouragement and encouragement of the rest of the old brothers, and under the watchful eyes of anticipation, the four people headed by Ouyang Yishan followed each other to the teacher Tang Qiuli for a temporary rest. place to go.

In a large room, Tang Qiuli, Liu Tiehan, Tang Qiuquan, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, Marine Corps Commander Han Tie, Southeast Mobile Corps Commander Ma Chaoyang, and Aviation Corps Commander Le Yiqin , Liu Cuigang and others are holding a small-scale meeting, focusing on the study of the sea-transporting force of the sea-crossing combat troops, and the issue of air support for any signs of aviation.

Tang Qiuli is not worried about other offensive directions, but he pays special attention to the troops crossing the sea. In the combat history of the independent division troops, land combat has long gained mature experience, and large-scale crossing the sea and landing operations , It was the first time, and it was the first time that a large corps crossed the sea and attacked the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula, which were heavily defended by the Japanese army.

Tang Qiuli said: "Brother Qiuquan, the most important thing in fighting across the sea is to land on the beach. If the landing is successful, the goal of the campaign is half achieved. The biggest difficulty is also the landing stage of the troops. Fortunately, the main force of the Japanese navy The military power and attention are all in the Pacific Ocean. On the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese Navy has only one squadron, and there is no aircraft carrier. In addition, there is a Bohai Sea cruise fleet of the puppet Manchukuo.”

"It should be noted that the land-based aviation of the Japanese army is a threat to the sea-crossing transport fleet. For this reason, Cuigang, Yiqin, and your aviation troops must devote most of their troops to escorting the sea-crossing combat troops. In addition to the carrier-based aircraft of the fleet, it should be enough. We must ensure absolute air supremacy. The two of you can consider, some time before the launch of the campaign, to attack the Japanese land-based aviation on the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula. The airport, carry out a devastating blow, and remove this hidden danger in advance!"

After a pause, seeing Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin listening intently, Tang Qiuli took a sip of water and continued, "In order to ensure the accuracy of hitting the Japanese army's land-based airport targets, Chutian's special warfare detachment, five days ago , I have received the order from the division commander to fully find out the specific location and strength of the Japanese military airport within a radius of [-] kilometers of the landing site of the troops, isn't it a battle that is not sure!"

"When the air force began to attack the Japanese land-based airport, the special warfare detachment sneaked into the Liaodong Peninsula and the various groups on the Korean Peninsula, and would instruct the air force on specific targets. Of course, this is my personal suggestion. The time choice for the air force to launch an attack, It is especially important, you must take into account the progress of the entire campaign, and the specific battle plan, Brother Qiuquan, your cross-sea campaign headquarters, draw up it yourself!"

Tang Qiuquan smiled and said: "Master, you don't have to worry too much about the troops crossing the sea. Our most favorable condition is that the Japanese naval fleet is not in the Bohai Bay and the Yellow Sea. Moreover, our attack is very sudden. Even if the Japanese fleet is in an emergency There is not enough time to transfer to the north. As for the land-based airport of the Japanese army, I will leave it to the two commanders, Le and Liu.

With a slight smile, Tang Qiuquan said confidently: "Our fleet has four aircraft carriers and more than [-] carrier-based aircraft, which are enough for the Japanese army to drink a pot. Moreover, the naval guns of the warships can also provide powerful fire support for the landing troops. It's not a big problem to fight together in the sky and at sea! Besides, I still have a secret weapon, the 'Assassin' naval battle rocket gunships of two detachments, the power of the salvo is no less than that of several heavy artillery brigades, and the beachhead of the Japanese army can withstand it. How many salvos?"

What Tang Qiuquan said made everyone laugh, and Tang Qiuli felt relieved, and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Qiuquan has a plan in mind. Well, I don't have to worry about crossing the sea and fighting!"

At this time, Liu Tiehan smiled, Tang Qiuli looked at him in surprise, Liu Tiehan pouted his mouth out, and said: "Master, look, some generals directly under the Corps are here, and they must come to you. Everyone has work to do, except that the corps directly under it didn't assign tasks, and these guys are in a hurry to go to the house!"

Tang Qiuli smiled slightly, and said: "They just came here at this moment, which is beyond my expectation. I thought that as soon as the meeting was over, they would rush around me and make a big noise. ? I know that I have calmed down, and I have made progress!" [

Several people stopped talking, smiled and said nothing, looked at the door with great interest, and heard the footsteps getting closer, Liu Tiehan turned his head and said in a low voice: "Master, which song are you singing? " Tang Qiuli smiled mysteriously, but did not answer Liu Tiehan's words.

Liu Tiehan knew that the reason why the corps directly under it was not at the venue to clarify specific combat missions was because he knew that the division commander wanted to use the corps directly under him in an unexpected direction to give the Japanese Kwantung Army in the northeast the most deadly One blow, perhaps because of confidentiality considerations, or because the plan was not perfect, so the combat tasks of the directly subordinate corps were not stipulated at the meeting.

Ouyang Yishan was in front, and Liu Hongzhang, Chu Ziye, and Xiao Jinshan were behind. He first explained the purpose of his visit to the special guards at the door, and then, when he walked to the door of the room where the teacher temporarily rested, Ouyang Yishan suddenly became timid and went He took a step back, and Liu Hongzhang, Chu Ziye, and Xiao Jinshan behind him allowed him to retreat in front of the battle, and squeezed forward, Ouyang Yishan had no way out.

There is no way, there are three men with evil eyebrows and staring eyes behind him, Ouyang Yishan swallowed hard, raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Bang bang bang!" The small knock on the door sounded like a loud thunder to him .
