"So far, the time has matured. The entire 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 attack 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 the operations around the Eastern Mongolian Defense Line, we have successfully repelled the Kwantung Army and the Mongolian Army.
Commander Fu and even the soldiers of the 35th Route Army had long been looking forward to attacking Manchuria.
Now that the situation has matured, everyone is holding back a lot of energy 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.
The Eastern Region is 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 Mongolian Defense Line, the 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 fortifications.
The specific attack on Puppet Manchuria and the general deployment are 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 be carried out to the south of 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, containing the Mongolian troops stationed in Zhangjiakou, preventing the Japanese from advancing northward, and 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, making sure to 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 the Tongliao, Qiqihar, and Qingcheng areas to launch 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 dispatch plan and corresponding route selection, logistics preparations, and troop deployment based on the roughly four stages of troop deployment.
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, representing the Special Experimental Zone and representing the Iron Triangle Group Army, attended 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 his 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 Mongolia 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 the 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 Group Army has been hidden in the ice. There have been so many big battles, from northern Henan to Jiaodong, and then to
Mengdong, we haven't caught a single fish.
This time, the troops finally gathered in Eastern Mongolia. 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, so why are you so cowardly? Why don't you dare to jump up and fight with the deputy commander-in-chief?
I told you that 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 go against him, you'll 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 both 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?
I'm going to take you, Old Li, with me this time. Do you really dare to jump up and fight with the old brigade commander, teacher, and the others?"
Cough 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?
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Besides, I didn't say there would be 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 broke out into a smile: "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 expression 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 started laughing.
Li Yunlong said nonchalantly:
"Just laugh at me. Anyway, I have a war to fight, so I'm 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: "According to the command of 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 fight!"
"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 Army this time is to give full play to the advantages of the Iron Triangle Group Army as the elite mechanized combat force of the Eighth Route Army.
Especially the advantages of advanced mechanized armored combat forces.
"The armored troops were used as sharp knives to break through first, tearing a gap in the Japanese defense line, and the coordinated infantry quickly followed up to further consolidate and expand the breakthrough to meet the main force's advance."
When talking about specific offensive tactics, Li Yunlong spoke like this.
"Hehe, this is the best combat plan for infantry-tank coordination that we, Lao Li, have summarized 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 situation 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 disarray, and a lot of little Japs were deployed in this area, so the defensive force was already relatively weak.
Our armored forces suddenly launch a surprise attack, and it's a wonder if the devil can react."
"Then let's fight and decide 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. This time, in order to cooperate with the advancement of the main force, 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 use our strengths and avoid weaknesses.
First, heavy artillery assaults, combined with smoke grenades, completely suppressed the firepower of the Japanese defense line, and then directly deployed artillery tanks, infantry and tanks to coordinate, and before the Japanese army rebuilt a new round of fire counterattack network, the Japanese defenses were swept away 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 will also bring out our Type 43 200mm long-range heavy rocket launcher to show off. This time we will kill the chicken with a butcher's knife. What we want is 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-duty rocket is a new type of inertial-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 time.
output.
The Type 43 200mm heavy rocket launcher, together with the Type 42 122mm vehicle-mounted rocket launcher, and the Type 43 122mm tracked rocket launcher form the core mobile rocket force.
New support artillery units including Type 43 120mm self-propelled howitzer, Type 43 130mm cannon, and Type 43 122mm howitzer.
These two battle-level supporting firepowers are where the Iron Triangle Army's confidence lies in confronting 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, I don't have 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 Army was so rich that we were not allowed to participate in any battle, but the best equipment and resources were always 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 our Eighth Route Army’s absolute trump card is, the absolute elite!”
However, Kong Jie immediately became vigilant and said in particular: "Old Zhao, you have to keep an eye on Lao 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 we can't let Lao Li mess around anymore."
"Lao Kong, don't worry, I'll watch him!" Zhao Gang replied.
Li Yunlong: "..."
——Well, I really thought about having fun and driving a tank into battle, 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 colleagues!
At present, the Japanese outer defense line has not been completely broken and the Japanese camp has not been broken into, 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 battle with no bells and whistles.
It was Chu Yunfei's first official participation in the Iron Triangle Group'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 extent 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 unit with extremely strong cohesion and fierce 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.
