Murong Fu said goodbye to his family, boarded a ship and sailed south, all the way to Kinmen.
Here, several commanders of the First Marine Division were already waiting for him.
"You are an old man from our 1st Marine Division, and you are familiar with us from top to bottom. I feel relieved that you will be the deputy division commander."
The original deputy division commander Miao Guangxian has received a transfer order and will return to the Navy Ministry as deputy minister.
While Zuo Hua was away at war, he actually presided over the daily work of the Navy Department.
From the bottom of his heart, Miao Guangxian preferred to be in the First Land War Division.
Because this is a frontline general, he can command the war. After returning to the Navy Department, he will become a civilian.
No general likes to sit in an office and live a boring life.
But someone has to do the related work, which is also a sacrifice.
Miao Guangxian had a great view of the overall situation, never cared about personal gains and losses, and happily accepted the transfer order.
He was even more happy when he learned that his replacement was Murong Fu.
He was Murong Fu's teacher when he was studying in the sergeant school. Now this can be regarded as a master-disciple inheritance.
After the handover between the two of them was completed, Tang Wenhuan began to arrange work for Murong Fu.
"According to the plans of the General Headquarters and the General Staff, our First Marine Division will be responsible for the unified operations in Fujian and Guangdong in the future. However, in recent years, we have almost penetrated the interiors of Fujian and Guangdong. It can be said that
It's all done, so there's no difficulty. The only troublesome thing is Hainan. Not only is it remote and closed, but the related infiltration work is not very smooth. In addition, there are also indigenous people. In the future, it will definitely be solved through war. And if you want to capture Hainan, just
A landing operation must be carried out. The high command has issued an order, and you will be responsible for the relevant combat operations. We are here to provide logistical support, so don’t worry."
Murong Fu was really overjoyed when he heard about this arrangement.
Originally, he was very happy when he heard that the 1st Marine Division would complete unified military operations in the two provinces, thinking that there would be no shortage of battles to fight.
As a result, Tang Wenhuan told him that there would be no major war in Fujian and Guangdong at all, and the actions of the First Marine Division were probably to march to receive the troops.
This is obviously not good news for soldiers.
But this is also due to the exchanges between Fujian and Guangdong and other places with the Xia Kingdom in recent years.
These two provinces have always attached great importance to business and are at the forefront of going overseas.
During the Ming Dynasty's seclusion period, people from these two places had to do it secretly and take great risks if they wanted to go overseas.
Later, the Xia Kingdom captured Kinmen, and its influence began to penetrate into Fujian and Guangdong.
The governments of the two places could not afford to offend the Xia State and only wanted to be safe. Moreover, many officials secretly participated in the economic and trade with the Xia State and made a lot of money.
The current situation is that everyone knows that one day the Xia Dynasty will invade Fujian and Guangdong and occupy these two territories.
However, military and political officials from both places had already boarded Xia's ship, and the people in both places had enjoyed great benefits from Xia.
It can be said that people in these two places have been looking forward to it for a long time, even more actively than Xia Kingdom itself.
Therefore, for the First Marine Division, the most difficult place in future unified operations is the isolated Hainan Island.
As for landing operations, which is the specialty of the First Marine Division, it also contains many risks.
In order for future actions to go smoothly, we need to start preparing from now on.
The reason why the headquarters assigned the task to Murong Fu was obviously to train newcomers to succeed.
Although in terms of age, Tang Wenhuan and others were not much older than Murong Fu. However, the others were already experienced and famous generals, and no one had any objection to Murong Fu being given such an opportunity.
He was the only one who got the opportunity to fight. Of course, Murong Fu saw the unwillingness of others in his eyes.
"Commander, since Fujian and Guangdong are already in the pocket, why doesn't the headquarters let the second-line troops take over directly? And our First Marine Division can be sent to more difficult places?"
Regarding this issue, Tang Wenhuan had no choice but to throw his hands away.
"There are only a few coastal provinces. Except for Fujian and Guangdong, Zhejiang belongs to the operational scope of the Songjiang Military Region. The other provinces are inland, and the Army is more suitable than our Marine Corps. Being able to capture Fujian and Guangdong is already
This is the result we worked hard for.”
He saw that Murong Fu was a little embarrassed, so he comforted him and said, "His Royal Highness once said that the navy is an offensive branch. Our marines are actually overqualified for use at home. In the future, there will be plenty of wars overseas, so don't you worry?
Do I have to fight?”
These words caused everyone to nod their heads in approval.
The Marine Corps has almost never been used domestically since its establishment.
The first battle of the formation of the army was in Korea, and they completed the Incheon landing, which is enough to shine in the history books. Later, they successively participated in the Battle of Japan, the Battle of Ryukyu, the Battle of the East China Sea, the Battle of Taiwan, and now the Battle of Luzon.
It is obvious that the Marine Corps, as an important strategic force, is not aimed at the country. It is in extraterritorial areas on the verge of the ocean that they are used.
Murong Fu relieved his psychological burden and immediately began to establish the Hainan landing operations command center.
The officers who returned with him began to take over the troops one after another, and were mobilized to this command center and put into combat readiness.
"Although we are the Marine Corps, we do not have very rich experience in landing operations. Although the Incheon landing was very successful, strategic deception is far more important than landing operations. And we cannot succeed every time.
If you have deceived the enemy, you will definitely experience various difficulties in landing operations. This time the target is Hainan Island. The defense force on it is not very strong, so it can be used for us to practice our skills."
Murong Fu set the tone for the Battle of Hainan.
That is to focus on honing the skills of the First Marine Division in landing operations.
Although under the strong firepower cover of the Navy, the landing operations of the First Marine Division have become much easier. But everyone knows that the landing operations are extremely complicated, and the dangers and difficulties they face are endless.
It can't be easily accomplished without the powerful firepower support of the navy behind it.
In particular, not every area can allow naval warships to provide fire support.
What if we encountered a place with very complicated terrain and no naval fire support? In order to win the battle, wouldn't the First Marine Division not land?
Therefore, Murong Fu decided to abandon all opportunistic tricks and use Hainan Island, a place that was neither strong nor weak, to hone the ability of the 1st Marine Division to land frontally and break through the enemy's defense line.
The officers below fully understood his spirit and immediately began to conduct in-depth training of the troops around this purpose.
