At 10 o'clock in the morning, the stars of the Jiaodong Group Army Headquarters were shining. 12 division commanders and deputy commanders, 42 commanders and deputy brigade commanders, and 27 chiefs of staff above the brigade level gathered together. In the huge conference room, people sat on the conference table.
It was full of people, even the seats on both sides next to the wall were occupied by many people!
Looking down at the time, Xu Guangming asked Li Shuchun with a smile: "Hey, sir, is there anything good that the chief executive has called everyone to a meeting today?" "Yes, sir, is there another military operation?
"Brothers, you've been looking forward to it for a long time. It's been another two or three months of training!" "It's really time to go out and stretch your muscles, otherwise everyone will be rusty!" "Yes, sit down, if there is really anything
Good news, let brothers hear it first!"
As soon as Xu Guangming finished speaking, Shunzi, Li Jinglin, Ren Yixiong and others all agreed, their faces full of expectation and yearning. This is not to say that they are all militants, but that they are eager to drive the Japanese out of Shandong
, drive out China and re-establish an independent, prosperous and democratic new China.
Of course, there must be thoughts of making contributions. After all, soldiers who don’t want to be marshals are not good soldiers! Especially in the past month or so, each infantry division has been equipped with a large number of new bulletproof helmets and m1 Garand rifles, which are standard weapons for infantry.
It turned into an M1 Garand rifle, a 95 assault rifle, a pistol, and an alloy dagger!
The m1 Garand rifle has a caliber of 7.62 mm, an empty gun weight of 4.37 kg, a muzzle velocity of 865 m/s, an effective range of 730 meters, and an 8-round magazine or 20-round magazine. The gun has high reliability, high shooting accuracy, and is easy to
Taken apart and cleaned, it proved to be a reliable, durable and effective rifle.
In the Pacific Islands, Southeast Asian jungles, African deserts, and European battlefields, the M1 rifle demonstrated ultra-high reliability and shooting accuracy on most battlefields of World War II, and was recognized as the most important weapon in World War II.
The best rifle. From this, everyone felt that they were armed to the teeth, and their confidence expanded to a new peak with their strength! Returning home in the car, Jiang Qiang smelled an extremely tempting smell of fresh cooked food as soon as he entered the compound.
Fragrant, obviously we had a very sumptuous lunch today.
After having a pleasant lunch, Yang Fan played with his children in the yard for about half an hour, and Huzi came to the door with gifts. First, he gave gifts and said a few polite words to Jiang Qiang and others, and Huzi couldn't wait.
He said: "Chief Commander, I have been staying at the Jiaoxian Naval Base for more than half a year. My brother troops have fought many battles, but we have been listening to the sound of cannons in the back!
Those brothers are all anxious, asking me all day long when can I be dragged out to fight with the Japs with real swords and guns!" Jiang Qiang said with a smile: "Why are you anxious? It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning. Now the sea areas around us are surrounded by the Japs fleet.
Blockade, even if I buy you some ships now, it won’t work! You can train your team with peace of mind. Although there are no actual ships for you to practice, the supporting training materials, facilities and equipment are the most advanced in the world today.
!Is it possible that you all understand it completely and understand it thoroughly?"
Huzi gave a smile and said: "Of course I know this! Brothers also understand it, but there is a saying that is good, but it is easy to see it on paper, but you must do it in practice! Brothers are all aware of it in their hearts.
Worry!" Jiang Qiang laughed and scolded: "Haha, you will drop your schoolbag with me! You kid has made some progress!" Huzi chuckled and said: "How can you not make progress with the boss? Otherwise, how can you keep up with the boss?
The pace of your seat! Boss, I met Shunzi on the street just now and chatted with him for a few words!
From his tone, it sounds like there will be big moves in the near future. If the chief executive really does something good, don't forget about us!" "Okay! Stop beating around the bush. I'll know what's going on as soon as you come.
!Then I will explain it to you so that you can feel at ease!"
Jiang Qiang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Yes, I will launch a major military operation recently. The main goal is to capture Qingdao. After capturing these coastal cities, I will use the ultimate force to capture Qingdao."
Quickly build large coastal defense artillery along the coastline to completely block the coastal defense of the Shandong Peninsula, and then you can be free to build a naval fleet!"
Hearing this, Jiang Qiang's eyes suddenly brightened, and he shouted with great excitement: "It's great, it's great, I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon for this day! Haha, if only we could have powerful battleships and aircraft carriers to fight with
If you can beat the shit out of the Japanese Navy in the future, it will be so majestic and exciting!" These days I have watched countless war movies such as "Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War", "Russian-Japanese Naval War", and a complete set of current world naval vessels
information, so I have a very clear understanding of the strength of the Japanese navy.
You don't know it, but you are shocked when you look at it. Only then did Huzi really understand how powerful the Japanese navy was and why the Chinese navy was so vulnerable in the past! At the same time, Huzi also felt deeply anxious.
Our navy is now very poor. We don’t even have a decent fishing boat, let alone any combat ships!
The surrounding sea area is completely dominated by the Japanese army. How can we develop and expand the navy when we have nothing, and even engage in naval battles with the behemoth of the Japanese navy in the future? If it weren't for Jiang Qiang standing behind him, Huzi would definitely think that either
Either he has been "cast into the cold palace" and hidden away, or it is just a daydream that deceives himself and others!
"There will be bread, and there will be milk! As early as three months, as late as six months, you can truly become the commander of the navy fleet! Then there will naturally be a lot of opportunities to make contributions!" Jiang Qiang smiled and nodded,
It just outlines the grand blueprint, and does not detail the specific implementation time and stage goals!
Because the idea of establishing an aircraft carrier battle group that can compete with the Japanese Navy is beautiful, but the actual operation is too difficult. It is difficult to achieve without a long enough development! Although Shanghai now has aircraft carriers and battleships,
Cruisers, destroyers, frigates, amphibious warfare ships, conventional submarines, mine warfare ships, patrol ships, support auxiliary ships, hovercraft, hovercraft, cruise ships, motor boats, fishing boats and other ships and ships!
However, the long string of zeros behind aircraft carriers and battleships is daunting. Besides, even if he saves for a year and a half to buy an aircraft carrier and several battleships, they will not be able to pose a threat to the Japanese navy! Jiang Qiang’s original intention to develop the navy is
I want to implement the wolf pack tactic with the submarine force as the main force, and then buy some light surface ships with strong maneuverability to cooperate with coastal defense guns for offshore defense!
When enough strength is accumulated, we can then develop large ships and aircraft carriers. The ultimate goal is to build a navy strong enough to guard China's long coastal defense line, safeguard the country's sea power and territorial integrity, and meet global strategic needs! "Haha, chat with the chief.
It's just a pleasure! Sir, you are busy, so I won't waste your precious time! If there is nothing else, I will leave first!"
After chatting for an hour or two, Huzi stood up with unfinished content. His heart was so hot that he wished he could go back and share it with his officers and soldiers now! "Okay, seeing how anxious you are, I won't let you have dinner.
Yeah! Haha!”
Jiang Qiang was also happy to be free. After sending Huzi to the yard, he shouted to Jiang He who was not far away: "Jiang He, take Huzi to the kitchen and get him a 50-jin bag of thin rice! That's it!
My thoughts!" "Wow! Thank you so much, sir! Hehe!"
Huzi was so excited that he rubbed his hands together. According to the current ration, he only had 50 grams per day, and these 50 kilograms were the total amount for 500 days! Not only was the thin rice delicious, but more importantly, it could subtly improve the physical condition.
, enhance physical fitness! And the body is the capital of revolution, especially in the current war years. Physical strength is directly related to battlefield survival rate, wealth and life! After Huzi left in the car with a lot of gratitude, Tingting smiled at Jiang Qiang
Said: "Jiang Qiang, from what you said just now, it seems like there is going to be another war?"
Jiang Qiang nodded and said: "The little devils are still killing people, setting fires and plundering resources in our country. The war will naturally not stop! People who are not my race must have different hearts. If I don't kill the devils, the devils will kill me!" "Well, it is true.
! The little devils are really not a bunch of things. If Jiang Qiang hadn’t held up this world, we ordinary people would certainly not have been spared! Just like the Changsha fire a month ago, oh, what a natural and man-made disaster!"
Thinking of another war, Tingting couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "Jiang Qiang, a few little sisters came to me today and said they wanted to join the film company to make movies. Can you help me?
Hello?" On the morning of December 18, at dawn, the Jiaodong Group Army launched an attack on eight counties and cities, including Linyi County, Fei County, Xintai County, Yidu County, Shouguang County, Ye County, and Jimo County.
The main direction of attack was Yidu County, Shouguang County, Ye County, and Jimo County. From the beginning, a large number of aircraft, artillery, tanks and other heavy weapons were used to conduct a frontal attack. The intensity of the attack in the remaining four counties was not small, although the number of artillery and tanks was relatively small.
Especially since there are only a dozen tanks serving as fire support and infantry cover, the momentum is not bad at all!
Because "there are few porridge and many monks", in order to avoid people calling it unfair, Jiang Qiang adopted a lottery method to determine the targets of each unit's attack. Among them, Gu Liangmin drew a big fat piece: Jimo County! Why is Jimo County said to be a big fat piece of meat?
Well, that’s because behind Jimo County is the important port city of Qingdao, which can not only provide the Japanese army with landing docks for supplies and a military port for fleet berthing, so the Japanese army heavily guards Jimo County!
Yesterday afternoon, Gu Liangmin mobilized two main regiments with more than 5,000 people to station in Jiao County. As soon as the attack order was issued today, the bomber group and heavy artillery troops took the lead in showing off their power and launched a fierce bombardment towards the Japanese Fengjiaping position! After the bombardment, 1,100 soldiers in full gear
The armed infantry launched an attack under the cover of 40 tanks, 5 armored vehicles, 4 self-propelled howitzers, and 5 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns!
Since the landforms in Jimo are generally low mountains and hills, the ground elevation is mostly between 20 and 100 meters above sea level, with an average altitude of 54.47 meters. The terrain is generally low hills and hills in the southeast and plain depressions in the northwest. Therefore, when the attack first started,
The 6th Division, which has strong field combat capabilities, is quite powerful and its advance is extremely smooth. It is like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!
The Japanese army is also very aware of the super strong field capabilities of the Chinese Tiger Army, so they do not send heavy troops to defend these undefeable plains and depressions. There are only a small number of Japanese troops and puppet troops stationed in the stronghold gun towers! However, these fortifications are not as strong as aircraft and tanks.
Under the heavy firepower of artillery, it is impossible to provide effective defense!
In half a day, the 6th Division pushed to the vicinity of Jimo County. Major General Ning Chunxiao, commander of the 15th Brigade, stood on a high ground at the rear. He could see the county in front with the naked eye, and he suddenly felt very good about the people around him.
Gu Liangmin said: "Master, you have aircraft, artillery and tanks in your hands. It's so refreshing to start a war! The little devils don't dare to fight with us in the plains! Think about it before, it was just one sky and one earth!"
Gu Liangmin nodded with a smile on his face and said: "That's natural. The Japanese are not stupid. They have suffered so many big losses in succession. If you still want to set up defenses like before, that's hell! Haha!" Brigadier of the 16th Brigade.
Major General Li Zhanbiao agreed with a smile: "Thanks to the wise commander at the time, we found a way out in advance. If we hadn't come to the Jiaodong Group Army, we might have been used as cannon fodder somewhere!"
Major General Shi Tongran, the deputy commander of the 6th Division, chuckled and said: "This is called Fu Ji Tailai. Ji people have their own destiny! I heard that Cao Fulin was treated very miserably in the fifth theater. Not only did he have to be used as cannon fodder, but he also had to be transferred.
If you are transferred, you will be exhausted if you are not beaten to death by the Japs! Haha!" Major General Tao Qinghai, Chief of Staff of the 6th Division, snorted: "This guy defected to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek. Not only did he want to annex our division, but he also wanted to return it to the division.
He wears small shoes, now I want to see how he ends up!"
"Okay! Let's not mention these old things. After all, we were brothers before! Now we are going our separate ways. Sometimes it's a pity when I think about it. I don't know if I can meet them again in this life!" Gu Liangmin sighed softly.
With a sound, he muttered: "It's really sad to think back on all the things in the past. In just two or three years, I felt like I was in another world!"
Li Zhanbiaoshen thought it was a nod and said: "Who says it's not the case? A year ago, who would have thought that the chief executive could be so capable and obtain so many heavy weapons and advanced equipment! In the past, we had to fight with our lives.
The enemy's aircraft and artillery are often filled with heavy casualties before even seeing the enemy soldiers. This is really cowardly!"
"Haha, this is called Thirty Years in Hedong and Thirty Years in Hexi. Feng Shui is changing! I just hope that we can bring Shandong back as soon as possible and drive the little devils out of Shandong! By then, we will be worthy of heaven and earth!
"
Tao Qinghai sighed softly, remembering that he had voluntarily abandoned the Lubei Plain under Han Fuju, and then abandoned the Jinan Provincial Government without firing a shot, and fled all the way to southwest Shandong! Tao Qinghai felt that it was a lifelong stain and humiliation. He did not know where he was in these years.
How many times have I been woken up by being scolded in my dreams? How many times have I dreamed that those innocent people who died in the Japanese army’s massacre came to find me!
"Haha, do you just think about it that much? With what we have in hand, how difficult is it to take back the entire territory of Shandong?" Li Zhanbiao said with an extremely optimistic smile: "I firmly believe that under the leadership of the commander-in-chief, we will completely
We can drive Japan out of China, and even counterattack Japan in the future!"
"Don't be arrogant in victory and don't be discouraged in defeat. Don't be too happy too early, let alone underestimate the enemy! Our combat mission to attack Jimo County has just begun!" Gu Liangmin put down his telescope, turned to look at Li Zhanbiao and said: "This county is the first hard nut.
There are more defensive positions carefully constructed by the Japanese in the hills and mountains behind the county seat! Your 46th Regiment has a very difficult task today!" Li Zhanbiao saluted with confidence and said: "Please put down your seat, the 46th Regiment is also ours after all.
The main force of the 16th Brigade, 2,500 brothers, have long been looking forward to a head-on confrontation with the Japanese army. Today you can see how well we perform! Haha!"
"Okay! Okay! As the saying goes, raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, I also want to see how we will perform when we encounter the hard-nosed Japanese army after training for so long and now possessing such sophisticated and powerful weapons!" Gu Liangmin said softly.
He nodded lightly and defected to Yang Fan for more than a year. There were not many opportunities for head-on confrontation. During the Battle of Taierzhuang, two regiments fought hard against the Japanese army!
After more than half a year, the 6th Division has been in training almost all the time. Today is the first time it has independently assumed the main frontal attack mission. Therefore, Gu Liangmin is looking forward to the impressive performance of the troops, and hopes that his direct troops can surpass them.
Other brother troops! At this time, Kong Xiangsheng, the commander of the 46th Regiment, was riding in an armored command vehicle and had arrived at the outskirts of Jimo County with the main force.
After Kong Xiangsheng figured out the situation through the radio station and observation mirror, he immediately ordered: "Order the armored troops to suspend the attack, and the engineer company begins to dig trenches on the spot and build fortification lines!" Kong Xiangsheng is not in a hurry to launch a general offensive, and a steady and steady attack is the way to go.
, anyway, the "icebreaking operation" planned this time will last for one month, so there is really no need to rush for success!
Li Shuchun said with a smile: "A few days ago, the chief executive did discuss with me to make a big move before the Spring Festival of 2039, so that everyone can have a good year!" Xu Guangming suddenly smiled: "Really?
Haha, great, what are the specific plans to attend, can you reveal a little bit in advance?" Li Shuchun shook his head and smiled: "What are you in a hurry? The chief executive will be here soon, and he will naturally explain it to everyone in detail!"
Cao Cao was about to arrive when he said that Cao Cao was about to arrive. At this moment, the guard at the door shouted at the top of his lungs: "The chief is here!" "Stand up!" "Salute!"
This voice was like a charge. Li Shuchun, Xu Guangming, Shunzi and others stood up one after another and saluted Jiang Qiang solemnly!
"Okay! Everyone, please take a seat!" Jiang Qiang stood in front of the main seat and returned the greeting. After everyone took their seats, he sat down and said: "I have called everyone here today to announce an important decision to you, that is, I am going to launch a
The military operation was codenamed Icebreaker.
Its main intention is to regain the entire Shandong Peninsula, regain Qingdao, and other important ports, open up external contacts, and smash the military blockade and economic blockade imposed by the Japanese invaders on us!" After several months of insignificant development, Jiang Qiang not only recovered the previously lost
All heavy equipment was replenished, and more than double the number of new aircraft, tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery and other heavy equipment were added!
In addition, a large amount of gasoline, bullets, artillery shells and other consumables have been stockpiled, and the number of reserve troops has reached more than 50,000. There is no need to worry about being weak for several months after fighting a few tough battles! So Jiang Qiang decided to prepare the army before the Spring Festival of 2039.
All the remaining 18 counties and cities in the Shandong Peninsula including Jimo and Qingdao were captured.
As long as the entire Shandong Peninsula can be managed as rock solid, Jiang Qiang will have enough deep defense space, and there will be no need to worry about Japan gathering heavy troops to attack! After a pause, Jiang Qiang continued: "In addition, when the time comes,
According to the situation, if everything goes well, we will further attack Linyi, Feixian, Xintai and other areas! In short, this time we will let everyone have a good year!"
"Wow! That's great! Now we can fight!" "Haha, we will fight how you want, Chief!" "Chief, we have to let our 6th Division take the field this time!"
Gu Liangmin and others were all looking at Jiang Qiang eagerly. Even though the scale of this icebreaking operation seemed to be large, there were 6 infantry divisions, a special operations brigade, as well as heavy troops, tank armor brigades and the Flying Tigers! In addition to necessary expenses
In addition, Yang Fan's income in the past few months has basically been invested in heavy equipment. Not only has the Flying Tigers become a brigade-level combat unit, it has 120 P-51d "Mustang" fighter jets, 10 heavy bombers, and 20 reconnaissance aircraft.
!
The tank and armor regiment has also been upgraded to brigade level, with 205 main battle tanks, 20 self-propelled artillery, 20 "Cheetah" 35mm double-barreled self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and more than 30 armored vehicles! The main force alone is as high as more than 130,000
people, and the Japanese invaders entrenched in Shandong only totaled 20 to 30,000 people. It was really a huge number of monks!
"Regarding this issue, I have exchanged views with the Chief of General Staff! For the sake of fairness, this time we will adopt the method of drawing lots to carry out the contract to each household!" With enough troops and war resources in his hands, Jiang Qiang was also somewhat inflated.
No longer satisfied with growing insignificantly in the base, he plans to speed up and take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army is still weak after the Wuhan War and try its best to expand its territory!
"Okay! I've said all that needs to be said! The Chief of General Staff will slowly discuss the rest of the time with everyone, come up with a specific implementation plan within two days, and start formal action on October 18
!”
After an hour of discussion, Jiang Qiang finally threw the pot away! Then he looked down at his watch, and Yang Fan waved his hand and said: "It's getting late now, it's time to have lunch, let's break up the meeting!" "Stand up!
!" "Salute!" Everyone stood up again and gave a respectful marching salute! "Haha! Let's all disperse! Go and do what you have to do!"
General Tang Juwu and General Jiang Baili were chatting at the Shanghai Hongkou District Military District Building. "Jiang Qiang and the others are starting to make big moves again. They may take Qingdao this time. If so, Shandong will survive." "Yes, like this
Our goal has been achieved, and Bo Yi has ascended to the throne. I see if Wang Yizhe needs to make some moves. He can't let little Japan feel too comfortable. Send a telegram to Jiang Qiang and see if it's okay.
We can capture all the three eastern provinces and drive the little devils out of the three eastern provinces," Jiang Baili said to General Tang Juwu.
