Chapter 91: The Pawn Crossing the River
Wei Hanchao unceremoniously walked to the sand table, picked up a teaching whip, pointed to a few points on the opposite side of the Yellow River, and said: "According to the feedback from the reconnaissance plane, most of the military supplies may be in these three places. If you cross the river all the way, follow the official crossing of Cao Ying. If you destroy one of them, you will delay the enemy, and if you destroy the other, you can retreat from the enemy! ”
As he spoke, he deliberately accentuated the two words Cao Ying, and couldn't help but let Pharmacist Tang look at him more.
Meng Xiang is not stupid enough to ask about the third, and he is not an extra. When a lone army takes a risk, it means a huge risk.
He looked at Fan Chong, who nodded at him and said directly: "Yes, you can implement Plan C of the third plan!" ”
Wei Hanchao's eyes swept over Fan Chong, not at all surprised that they had a plan. Meng Xiang asked just now, but it was just an examination school.
Meng Xiang didn't agree directly, but turned his head and asked the second rat next to him: "How is the return of the wounded soldiers?" ”
Rat Er didn't care about the large number of people in the hall, and the dozen or so people here were all from the Clone Corps except for Tang, Fan, and Wei. Since Meng Xiang did not have any scruples to ask directly, he also replied directly: "Up to now, there are more than 23,400 wounded soldiers in the 41st Division, of which more than 11,000 are still recuperating north of the Yangtze River, more than 5,000 wounded soldiers in the L plan are still gathering in various places, and the others have been treated in hospitals, and 1,638 lightly wounded have returned to the team, but most of them need a period of adaptation. ”
Meng Xiang also had a little headache, the wounded soldiers were definitely a valuable asset, but the burden of more than 20,000 people was too heavy. Although medicines can be ignored, there are too few medical staff, and the consumption of more than 20,000 people is also a lot of money. He could now feel the drain growing.
Compared to the value of these wounded soldiers after recovery, he can not care about these. But now when it comes to employing people, he really can't take out too many people.
"How many people from all over the country have come?" He asked the Tang pharmacist who was in charge of the matter.
Pharmacist Tang naturally knew what he was thinking, shook the paper fan slightly, and said, "More than 3,000 people came to Jinan City yesterday, but there are not many soldiers. There are too many newcomers to be useful. ”
Wei Hanchao suddenly stepped forward and said, "One battalion is enough." I would like to personally lead the crossing of the Yellow River and attack behind enemy lines. ”
Fan Chong nodded beside him and said, "The soldiers of the attack, the noble essence is not much more expensive. ”
Meng Xiang was extremely looking forward to paratroopers, otherwise it would be okay to have a large number of bombers. However, after all-out efforts to rescue Nanjing, some of the aircraft produced by the base were consumed. There were only six Stuka bombers and ten BF-109B fighters, as well as four Ju52 transport planes. Although the base is constantly producing, the production capacity of an air index center is limited, and even if an air command center under construction is completed and put into operation, the limitation of the small number of pilots has made the current large-scale bombing an empty word.
"We have to recruit pilots from all over the country!" Thinking of today's three bombers, escorted by five fighters, directly blew up a pontoon bridge, delaying the devil's attack point all the way, Meng Xiang thought for a moment that the sky was full of iron birds, and he was distracted.
Pharmacist Tang coughed violently and agreed: "Qi is compatible, it should be like this!" He already knew about Plan C, and his praise at this time was just to remind Meng Xiang, who was already obviously distracted.
As soon as Meng Xiang came back to his senses, he immediately pretended to think and said, "Not bad, feasible!" You take the first battalion of the security regiment with you! ”
After a pause, he said in a heavy tone towards Wei Hanchao: "Come back safely!" ”
At this time, the new security regiment only had one and a half battalions, and the elite of the old second battalion was drawn out at once, and Meng Xiang could be regarded as having made a lot of determination. But with the elite old second battalion, it will be more able to increase the success rate of this plan and win more time.
He still needs time, because the base car has already been built.
The resettlement site of the Jinan sub-base has been selected, but it will take a whole day for the slow base car to get there with all its might. Then start building, upgrading, and building fortresses. The time consumed needs to be squeezed out little by little by the forward line. The attack from the north was very fierce, a bit beyond Meng Xiang's expectations. The time to defend the Yellow River defense line had to be shortened for a while, which also compressed the time for sub-bases.
"Yes!" Wei Hanchao suppressed the excitement in his heart and responded with a salute. The name of the elite security regiment, he has heard that an elite battalion of the security regiment has been handed over to him this time, which already shows that he has won the trust of the person in front of him.
Fan Chong also said beside him: "In order to better cover up the actions of the people crossing the river, you can put the Seventh Regiment into the river defense battle, attack it, and attract the attention of Yue himself!" ”
Meng Xiang nodded.
"The bomber squadron asks to take off!" At this time, Feng Yi asked for instructions beside him. After returning, the pilots, who had been urgently repaired, were once again ready to attack.
Meng Xiang perked up and immediately replied: "Agreed!" After glancing at Fan Chong and the others, he directly ordered: "Target West Road!" ”
"These little devils who don't care about life and death are more difficult than the devils in Nanjing!" Huang Huamin snorted. He politely rejected Meng Xiang's request to stay at the division headquarters, became the commander of the fourth regiment of the 41st Division, and went directly to the battlefield.
Nearly 100 planes on the opposite side were bombed, making the anti-aircraft firepower very difficult. The number of anti-aircraft points in various places was constantly reduced, which made the production of anti-aircraft artillery constantly increase at the base. Some time ago, Nanjing's consumption was a little too large, which led to some tension in the production of the base.
Taking advantage of the bombing of the planes, the Yue army on the opposite side set up three pontoon bridges at once, which made Huang Huamin, who only had about 2,000 people under his command, a lot of difficulty.
There are only ten 75 caliber guns in the artillery battalion here, and the artillery of the devils on the opposite side seems to be concentrated here.
Huang Huamin raised his eyes and looked at the position next to him, where was the Hu Minghe regiment that came up later. This kid fights fiercely, he has already heard of it, and when he saw it today, it was indeed the case. The artillery fire was not taken into account, and he directly ordered his subordinates to blow up a pontoon bridge with explosives bags, which also made the pressure on the devil much less. He only had to be responsible for the defense of the two pontoon bridges, which was relatively easy.
However, two small patrol boats that came on the Devil's River at some point actually set up artillery to bombard nearby, which made Hu Minghe, who was caught off guard, suffer a little loss.
After that, a company of nearly 100 small boats crossing the river made both of them overwhelmed, so that more than 60 people actually landed on the south bank and stood on their feet.
Huang Huamin attacked there twice, and more than 40 little devils died, leaving more than a dozen little devils with injuries still gritting their teeth and persevering.
"Attack again! Be sure to drive them all into the river! Huang Huamin shouted, Niu 13 next to him waved his hand, and a team immediately rushed out. If there are too many people going up at one time, they will only become a target for artillery on the opposite shore.
"Why don't the artillery battalions come to their aid? Isn't the artillery battalion of the Vanguard also strong? Huang Huamin couldn't help but think when he saw that when a squad rushed there, he had already fallen half under the devil's fire.
He didn't know that the artillery battalion had gone to support the middle of the same crisis in advance, and he didn't know that Meng Xiang was regretting the lack of artillery at this time.
In order to raise funds, the production and marketing artillery produced by the base was directly sold in exchange for the much-needed ocean. Just before Han Fuyu ran away, he also made a big deal with Han Fuyu, and gave Han Fuyu cheap support for all the extra artillery on hand. But who knows, things are changing too fast.
The base is constantly producing, which also takes time, and the only artillery battalion is still maintaining the size of a super battalion.
"Build another tank factory!" Meng Xiang shouted at Xiaohua.
(I only slept for four hours the first two days and overslept this morning)
