Chapter 1138: Attack
"Let's not just talk about our past, I almost forgot to introduce you to Du Yuming, commander of the Airborne Forces!" Huang Changsheng introduced.
Of course, Hu Guoshan has already met Du Yuming, when he went to the south for a meeting to disarm, Du Yuming was by Liao Fan's side! But several other commanders and army commanders have not met Du Yuming.
"Our brothers are used to joking, Commander Du don't see each other, I am Li Weimin and you have the same military rank, we will be brothers in the future!" Li Weimin took the initiative to come forward to say hello.
"I'm Liu Chundao, although we have the same military rank, but among the few of you, I am the youngest, I can't be a guard for Brother Fan in Taihang Mountain, and I need to come back to expand the troops, so I became the military commander, I want to be a few of you, I am a junior!"
Liu Chundao is also very modest, although his position was very high at the beginning, but his ability is indeed limited, fortunately the experience of leading the troops in the past few years has been honed, although it is not like the top military generals, but it is not too lost to them.
"Next, we will fight side by side, and our airborne troops still need a lot of support from you!"
Although there are quite a few veterans in the airborne troops, on a large scale, the four airborne divisions do not have much experience in airborne operations, and if Liu Chundao says that he is a junior, I am afraid that Du Yuming's airborne troops are the latest of all arms at present.
"Although you have been transferred to the Northeast Military Region, your real command is still on Brother Fan's side, no matter what, we will assist you if we can!"
Hu Guoshan knows very well that if you really want to talk about it according to seniority, Huang Changsheng and Du Yuming are of the same level as him, but Huang Changsheng and Du Yuming belong to other branches of the army, if the two of them lead troops in the army, I am afraid they are both commanders of the same military region.
"Let's go, let's talk in the headquarters, this operation, your Northeast Military Region has your arrangements, but we also have our tasks, so I hope to be able to cooperate with you, don't fight each of us when the time comes, if this is really the case, it will make the little devil very happy!"
Combat must have a detailed plan, and even which squad is in charge of which task must be clear! They are all officers who have come out of the war, and almost half of the elite officers of the entire country are concentrated in the Northeast Military Region.
Meetings were held in Hu Guoshan's headquarters for several days, and everyone consulted with each other on the basis of the information in their hands, and as for which unit was the main force and which unit was the reserve, it had to be made clear.
"He Guoxing still has 50,000 troops in the Soviet Union, across the river from the Japanese army, what should they do?"
At the beginning, in order to assist the Soviets and prevent the Japanese army from attacking the Soviet Union, Liao Fan sent out the troops! Later, they had an awkward quarrel with the Soviets and almost put He Guoxing and them under house arrest, but fortunately, their troops made contact with foreign troops in time to get in touch with foreign troops.
Later, relations with the Soviets eased somewhat, and although the Soviets did not blockade He Guoxing and them again, they no longer provided them with any supplies, and could only be transported to He Guoxing by the Northeast Military Region.
He Guoxing and they are still abroad, and they are about to break out into battle, but they can't forget about this force!
"It's basically impossible to get them to cross the river and fight! Once discovered by the little devils, it is easy to cause large casualties! ”
The little devils built a large number of permanent and semi-permanent fortifications in the northeast, especially along the south bank of the river, which were originally to prevent the Soviets.
"But in the critical period, He Guoxing and they may be able to play an important role!" Li Weimin suggested.
Although the little devil knew that there was a Chinese army in the territory of the Soviet Union, when the general offensive was launched, the main force of the Japanese army would be pinned, and if a force was taken by surprise at this time, it might cause a complete collapse of the Japanese army.
"Hmm...... Then let He Guoxing wait for the opportunity to move, tell him to see the opportunity, make sure that he can win 100% and cross the river, if the loss is large, let him stay on the other side of the river, once they want to cross the river to attack, our side will send an armored force to support them! ”
After thinking for a while, Hu Guoshan's troops were also an elite force, and they had a lot of Soviet equipment in their hands, especially those cannons in the hands of the Soviets, but they were good things, and they could shell the other side of the river when the time came, causing a lot of pressure on the Japanese army.
Under Hu Guoshan's arrangement, almost every unit received the task, even the reserve was arranged to the front line, if a unit's attack was frustrated and encountered large casualties, the reserve immediately replaced them, and the replaced unit became a reserve.
After several days of detailed deployment, the units were given their mandates.
"As for the airborne troops, they can't be deployed at the first time, otherwise the Japanese army will attack you frantically after learning that the retreat road is blocked!"
After arranging all the troops, Hu Guoshan said to Du Yuming.
The purpose of the airborne troops is to parachute on both sides of the Yalu River, with the strength of three divisions parachuted in Xi'an, and the strength of one division parachuted in Dong'an, and the troops of Dong'an are responsible for collecting the soldiers of the other three divisions that may have landed in Dong'an due to the influence of the air current, otherwise they will be deployed in Dong'an.
"On the first day of our general offensive, after the attacking forces had made a slight gain, the air force launched the first round of air raids, and the target of the first round of bombing was the important towns where the Japanese troops were stationed along the way! Then Ma Wanzhong's troops raided these important towns, although they could not open up the supply line to the banks of the Yalu River in the first time, but at least they could weaken the Japanese defense in these places! ”
The supply lines of the airborne troops are very important, and we cannot rely solely on the air force for airdrops, and we must know that the strength of the four airborne divisions cannot be supplied by airdrops alone.
"After the end of the first round of bombing, the air force will then take off according to its own situation and bomb the banks of the Yalu River, trying to ensure the safety of the bridges on the Yalu River, if it is found that the Japanese army has blown up the bridges, only the airborne troops can erect pontoon bridges by themselves, so as to ensure that the troops of a division on the other side of the river can withdraw to the west bank of the river in time when they encounter a critical situation!"
Hu Guoshan is methodically deploying tasks belonging to the Air Force and the Airborne Forces, and Hu Guoshan does not have to worry about the tasks of the Air Force, they can do what they can.
"After these two bombing missions, the Airborne Forces will be able to board the plane for airborne landing!"
After Hu Guoshan and his troops launched an attack, they would certainly be able to attract a large number of Japanese main forces, which was a good opportunity for Ma Wanzhong and his activities to be an opportunity for the airborne troops to contact the main Japanese army on the Yalu River.
In this way, the army will have to bear the main pressure, and it can give the troops behind enemy lines greater autonomy in their activities; as long as the troops are not fixed on one point, the war can be fought lively, and only by flexible and mobile arrangements can the little devils not be able to figure out the truth and the truth.
"Okay, our Airborne Forces obey orders!"
In the past two months, the airborne troops have been trained, and they are very confident in the airborne Du Yuming!
But this time it was airborne behind enemy lines, and all their troops were likely to be dispersed, knowing that relying on the air force's projection capability alone, it is estimated that they will be able to parachute four divisions in two days, which means that their material supply may have to hold on for at least two days.
Although Hu Guoshan has tried his best to reduce the pressure on them, the Air Force and the Airborne Forces are still facing great pressure, especially in terms of transportation and delivery capabilities.
Since this battle is about to begin, they must withstand all the pressure to complete the task, otherwise they will not be able to complete the task in the first battle, which will have a great impact on the confidence of the troops in the future.
In one day, all the troops arrived at the designated position, just waiting for Hu Guoshan's last order.
On the eve of the attack, Hu Guoshan called Liao Fan: "Brother Fan, all the troops have arrived at the designated position, the supplies have been prepared, and they can attack at any time!" ”
"Commander-in-Chief Hu, give the order!"
Liao Fan was calm, not as excited as many people, it seemed that he already knew the outcome of this war! Even he doesn't need to give orders personally, he just needs to wait for the result!
"It's finally begun!" After hearing Hu Guoshan's voice on the phone, Chairman Jiang couldn't mention how happy he was.
"Inform the troops, get ready for battle, and in five minutes all units must attack!"
The troops of the entire military district, more than a million troops, more than three million troops against the little devils! Hu Guoshan sent all the weapons he could use into battle.
Thousands of heavy artillery pieces at the front line bombarded the Japanese positions indiscriminately, and the fortifications on the surface were wiped out in the first round of shelling, and all were in ruins.
Some veterans of the Japanese army have already experienced the power of Chinese artillery, and they do not care about artillery shells at all, as long as there is still a trace of fortifications on the surface, the artillery will not stop roaring.
The little devils also knew that they were going to have a big battle with the Chinese army, and this battle could only be ended by the fall of one side, and they had been preparing for this battle for a long time, and they had also sent their most elite troops, and the artillery was constantly bombarding the areas where the Chinese troops might be gathering to support the infantry on their positions.
However, they ignored one point, that is, air supremacy, the little devil who lost the plane no longer had air supremacy, at this time Huang Changsheng's air force only needed one or two planes to be able to see the situation on the entire battlefield in the sky, especially the Japanese artillery positions at a glance.
"Let the two bombers and two fighters of the 1st Brigade take off and solve the artillery positions of the little devils first!"
After getting the exact reconnaissance situation, Huang Changsheng did not give the Japanese artillery any chance to escape, after all, artillery is a big killer weapon, and it poses a great threat to the infantry, and it is necessary to find a way to erase it as soon as possible as soon as it is discovered.
