"With the approval of the high command, the North Korean combat plan will now be modified."
Liu Yiyuan sat in the middle of the Eastern Army Group Headquarters. Seeing the generals gathered on both sides, he felt really excited.
The revised Korean War was an absolutely massive undertaking, and it was also the time when the Shandong New Army invested the most troops.
There are more than ten general-level officers alone.
This is definitely a battle that will make history.
As the commander-in-chief of this battle, Liu Yiyuan certainly understood the significance.
He began to tell the plan.
"The original plan of using the 1st Marine Division to defend the Pusan Defense Line was cancelled, and the 1st Marine Division was used for other purposes. The 4th Division took over the Pusan Defense Line."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone couldn't help but talk about it, and several generals of the 1st Marine Division even looked ugly.
Tang Wenhuan emphasized: "This is a cross-sea battle, which should be the responsibility of our First Marine Division. The Fourth Division is a pure army, can they fight well?"
Bai Xiaoqi was not happy anymore.
"How long has your First Marine Division been established? How many battles have you fought? How can you compare with our veteran troops?"
Tang Wenhuan refused to give in.
"This is crossing the sea, Mr. Bai, be careful to spit out your bile."
Mentioning this, Bai Xiaoqi couldn't help but turn pale.
As a pure landlubber, crossing the sea by boat is truly a nightmare.
Liu Yiyuan came forward to interrupt the dispute between the two people.
"It is true that the Fourth Division belongs to the Army, but there is plenty of time for this battle. There is enough time to train and adapt to the sea. Bai Qi, are you confident?"
Bai Xiaoqi was very happy to hear the chief of general staff speak for him.
"Guaranteed to complete the task."
Liu Yiyuan nodded and deployed the fourth division.
"According to the estimates of the General Staff, the Korean battlefield will not be fought until at least the autumn of next year, which is about ten months. If your fourth division is not able to cross the sea and fight by then, I think you, the division commander, will still be able to fight.
Go be a groom."
Knowing that there was still so much time to prepare, Bai Xiaoqi immediately became energetic.
"Chief of Staff, don't worry. If any bastard can't get into the water by then, I'll soak him to death."
Liu Yiyuan also didn't believe that after more than ten months, the Fourth Division was still unable to go to sea to fight.
However, the tasks of the Fourth Division are still relatively heavy.
Because the internal adaptation of the Fourth Division has not yet been completed, this alone will take a lot of time.
"According to the order of the headquarters, your fourth division must complete the reorganization before and after the New Year, and then go to Dengju for adaptive training. It must arrive at Jeju Island before the storm comes in May."
Bai Xiaoqi, Le Xinfeng, and Huang Long all looked solemn, knowing that the workload was indeed quite large.
But being able to be assigned tasks and participate in the war, the three of them absolutely did not want to miss this opportunity.
At present, only the First Division of the New Army has been reorganized, and it has been gradually transferred to Songjiang Prefecture.
The Second Division is being reorganized and remains in Shandong. It will be the force to defend the homeland.
The Third Division has been deployed in Lianghuai and has begun the preliminary work of reorganization.
In view of the endless melee between the Ming Army and the Northwest Rebel Army in the Central Plains, no one was sure how the war situation would develop, so the Third Division was very cautious in its reorganization.
The Fifth Division is still in its embryonic form. Although as a new army, there is no trouble in adapting, it will take some time to form combat effectiveness.
Therefore, the only force currently available to the New Army is the Fourth Division.
In the current war, there is no room for bargaining. No matter how difficult the work is, we can only carry on hard.
Bai Xiaoqi usually seems to be easygoing, but he is also a ruthless character at critical moments.
"Time waits for no one, and adaptation can only be done quickly. If anyone can't figure it out, I will help him figure it out."
The most troublesome thing about the adaptation is that many officers will be demoted.
Everyone went through life and death, and finally made meritorious service and got promoted, but this time they had to be demoted.
When a division commander becomes a regiment commander, a brigade commander becomes a regiment commander, or a regiment commander becomes a battalion commander, it is natural that he will feel uncomfortable and have feelings of resistance.
If there is no war, you can do your ideological work slowly. But since the situation is urgent, Bai Xiaoqi shows his true colors.
The First Marine Division doesn't care about the Fourth Division's troubles.
Tang Wenhuan was filled with anger and couldn't understand why his good mission was gone.
"Chief of Staff, this matter in Busan has been handed over to the Fourth Division. What are we doing in the First Marine Division? The purpose of the battle has been informed to the entire army before coming here. Everyone is screaming, just waiting for a fight. So.
If you do, how will we explain it when we get back?"
"What are you in a hurry for?"
Liu Yiyuan scolded and then put on a smile.
"I replaced your 1st Marine Division because there is a more difficult task for you. I will say the ugly things first. If you can't do it, please tell me quickly so that I can replace you."
Several generals of the First Marine Division showed curious expressions.
"What's the mission?"
Liu Yiyuan turned around, opened the map behind him, and clicked on a place on the map with his baton.
"When the war breaks out in Busan, how about we come here for a while?"
All the generals present widened their eyes and were completely frightened.
Zuo Yong, Tang Wenhuan, and Gu Erzhong turned from anger to joy and almost started dancing.
"This task has been given to us?"
Liu Yiyuan nodded solemnly.
"Do you remember what the commander-in-chief said? What kind of service is the navy?"
Zuo Hua interjected: "The navy is of course the offensive service."
Liu Yiyuan put his hands on the table and looked down at everyone.
"The Battle of Busan is a defensive operation. The Fourth Division is definitely more skilled than your First Marine Division. But how to attack from the sea is the skill of your First Marine Division."
After understanding the overall plan, Zuo Yong and the others finally dissipated their resentment.
"Huang Taiji would never have imagined how we would play. It is not the ability of our First Marine Division to prevent him from breaking his muscles this time."
Bai Xiaoqi looked at the map blankly, really envious of the combat mission of the 1st Marine Division.
It's a pity that he also knows that the Fourth Division is still purely an army in the final analysis and cannot perform such a task.
But how to defend Busan is also a difficult test.
After returning from Jeju Island, Bai Xiaoqi immediately summoned all officers in the division.
"These are the combat missions. This time it is our fourth division's turn to show its face. But whether it is to show its face or to show its eyes can only be seen on the battlefield. Have you all figured it out? If anyone has not figured it out, tell me now,
I'll help you find another job. Don't let anyone have awkward thoughts on the battlefield and affect the battle. At that time, if anyone makes a mistake, I, Bai Xiaoqi, will recognize you as a brother, but the military law will not recognize you!"
The officers gathered together and learned that they were about to go on an expedition, and that it would also be an overseas expedition to fight in a foreign land. Every one of them became excited.
As for the upcoming reorganization and reduction in military rank, it seems that it is not so difficult to accept.
