Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Ma Chaoyang, commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps of the Independent Division, commanded more than 300,000 troops. In the Indochina Peninsula and on the southern battlefield, he also experienced a setback in the war, transforming from a second-line corps to a first-line main field corps. However, he was solely responsible for

This was the first time for an attack in one direction. Ma Chaoyang would never take it lightly when it came to the land and sea battle on the Korean Peninsula.

In fact, Ma Chaoyang still had his own ideas about the division commander's campaign guidance plan. Now, since Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, the commander-in-chief of the cross-sea campaign, asked him, he said bluntly, "Commander Tang, from the bottom of my heart, I

You have your own opinions on the guidance plan for the division's cross-sea landing operations!" Ma Chaoyang said.

Tang Qiuquan raised his eyebrows. At the military meeting tonight, Ma Chaoyang didn't say a word. Qiuquan guessed it, so after the meeting, he left Han Tie and Ma Chaoyang behind, "Chaoyang, if you have any opinions, you might as well say it."

You are the commander in charge of one direction, and the division commander and I will take your opinions seriously!" he said kindly.

Ma Chaoyang organized his speech and said: "According to the guidance plan of the division commander, more than 300,000 troops of the Southeast Mobile Corps will land at Incheon. Then, they will be divided into two groups, one group will advance toward the northeast and the border with the North Korean troops, and the other group will

, go south from Incheon, fight all the way south, and establish a blocking line on the Korean Peninsula between Busan and Gwangju. This is the point where I have different opinions!"

"Commander Tang, the Southeast Mobile Corps has more than 300,000 troops. It is just a port of Incheon. When will all these troops come ashore? The troops cannot land quickly. Wouldn't it be for the Japanese and Korean garrison troops to deploy and mobilize troops, leaving behind

Time?"

"More. What I'm most worried about is the line between Busan and Gwangju, the southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula. There is only a Korean Strait between the mainland of Japan and Japan. What should the Japanese army do to increase troops on the Korean Peninsula from the mainland? And the first unit of the Southeast Mobile Corps goes south from Incheon.

The time required to attack and reach the southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula will not be too short. We need to break through the Japanese blocking lines in the process of advancing! Therefore, if we follow the guidance plan of the division commander, it will be easy for the troops to land.

It’s harder to occupy the Korean Peninsula!”

Qiuquan looked at Ma Chaoyang and blamed him: "You Ma Chaoyang, since you have such an idea, why don't you report it to the teacher? Why don't you report it to me?"

Ma Chaoyang's answer was: "I have some concerns. Since it is a guidance plan issued by the teacher, it must be the result of the teacher's careful consideration. It must be reasonable for the teacher to do this. Does my idea go against the teacher's intention? Furthermore,

It also involves protecting

Regarding the strength of the aircraft fleet and aviation force, but just now, I couldn’t help but express my opinion, because the situation on the Korean Peninsula is different from that of the Liaodong Peninsula. Commander Han’s troops can adopt a front-line push strategy.

, but my troops can’t!”

Tang Qiuquan sighed and shook his head, "Ma Chaoyang, when did you become so cautious? When the division commander issued the campaign guidance plan, he also emphasized that each unit can make appropriate adjustments based on the actual tasks it undertakes. Is it true?

, you don’t understand what the teacher means? If you have any specific plans, tell me!" He said with a reproachful tone, and then encouraged Ma Chaoyang.

Ma Chaoyang grinned and said: "My plan is to divide the Southeast Mobile Corps into three groups. Each group will have more than 100,000 troops and land in Incheon, Gunsan, and Mokpo respectively. The troops that landed in Incheon will stay behind.

The strength of the next three brigades or so

, hold on to the landing point Incheon and capture Seoul, establish a defense line from Incheon to Seoul, Hengcheng, and Gangneung, and then attack southward to cut off the connection between the Japanese troops in the north and south of the Korean Peninsula. The remaining troops still attack northward and advance toward the northern border!"

"The troops landing from Gunsan will also be divided into two groups, attacking and advancing all the way to Seoul, and attacking and advancing to Gwangju and Busan. The troops landing from Mokpo will also be divided into two groups, attacking all the way north, and attacking in the direction of Gunpo.

The troops landing on the mountain will join forces, and in addition, three brigades will be mobilized to establish a blocking line on the Gwangju and Busan lines. The main task of the troops along this line is to prevent the landing of Japanese reinforcements from the mainland!"

Tang Qiuquan laughed and said: "Ma Chaoyang, you have a good idea! Well, he is very strategic. In this way, the three-way landing force can quickly divide the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula into three non-connected parts and annihilate them.

, the focus of your plan is on the southern part of the Korean Peninsula!"

Ma Chaoyang smiled bitterly and said: "Commander Tang, although the plan is good, it is difficult to implement. First of all, it involves the dispersion of the escort fleet and escort aviation force. Secondly, if we adopt such a strategy, my military strength will be greatly reduced."

It is not enough, especially the troops in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. If they are divided again and again, they may not be able to achieve what the division commander requires. On the battlefield, we must attack with superior strength!"

Tang Qiuquan asked with a smile: "Chaoyang, have you completed the plan to adjust the landing campaign on the Korean Peninsula?"

Ma Chaoyang glanced at Qiuquan secretly and replied: "It's done. It was prepared as a preliminary plan for the battle plan. However, it was locked in the cabinet in the staff office and I didn't dare to take it out! Besides, there are less than eight left.

Hours of time, it is too late to adjust the deployment now, the escort fleet and aviation force will also have to adjust the escort force accordingly, there are too many troops involved, so it is better not to cause trouble to the division commander and Commander Tang!"

Tang Qiuquan glared at him and said: "You, when did you become a coward? Just follow your preparation plan. I will report it to the division headquarters immediately. I also tell you that it is not just you, Ma Chaoyang, who is more prepared."

, the escort fleet has also formulated two sets of escort plans. Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang have also made some preparations. There is no need to make any major deployment adjustments, let alone force overthrow and start over. As for the problem of insufficient troops you mentioned

, it’s easy to solve!”

"Commander Tang, is it that simple to change the plan?" Ma Chaoyang asked in surprise. He had already believed Qiuquan's words. Such a big battle could not be just a plan. However, regarding the issue of troop strength, he did not believe Qiuquan.

Is there any way to mobilize the troops to the north, which is not responsible for the independent offensive direction? From there?

Qiuquan saw Ma Chaoyang's doubts, turned to Han Tie who was smiling and said: "Commander Han, you also heard that Ma Chaoyang encountered practical difficulties, so I decided to transfer three brigades from the Marine Corps

The troops will be transferred to the Southeast Mobile Corps and placed under the command of Ma Chaoyang, what do you think?"

"Hiss!" Han Tie took a breath of air and smacked his teeth. He was a little reluctant to give up. In fact, when Ma Chaoyang was talking to Tang Qiuquan, he had guessed in his mind that according to Ma Chaoyang's battle plan,

As the troops of the Southeast Mobile Corps are divided again and again, there will definitely be insufficient strength. I am afraid that they will bleed themselves?

"What? You, Han Tie, have more than 160,000 troops in your hands. All of them are elite soldiers and generals. In addition, they are well-equipped. How many regular troops does the Kwantung Army have in the Liaodong Peninsula? Two and a half divisions.

There are 60,000 soldiers in the regiment. When a fight breaks out, you, Han Tie, haven't pushed forward all the way and mobilized three brigades. Why are you still feeling as distressed as if you were cutting flesh? To put it bluntly, do you want to borrow the soldiers from these three brigades or not?

?" Qiuquan said half-jokingly.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Han Tie said cheerfully: "Okay, Commander Tang has spoken. I, Han Tie, am not a stingy person. Besides, Commander Ma also has practical difficulties. I will definitely borrow this soldier, and

, they are still the three best brigades of the Marine Corps, right? After all, we are all in the same boat, aren’t we! If Commander Ma can’t fight well, I, Han Tie, will lose his face too!”

"Hahaha!" The hearty laughter of the three military men echoed on the pier, drifting into the distance with the wind. The waves of the Yellow Sea rolled up the waves and patted the embankment, making a "hushing" sound.

In response to this heroic laughter.

At the Qingdao Naval and Air Force Base, in the dormitory of Major General Liu Cuigang, the commander of the Northern Flying Group, another situation occurred. After attending the military meeting of the Cross-Sea Campaign Command, Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin continued to be interrupted midway by the military meeting.

They had a small drink, a few Jiangnan-style side dishes carefully cooked by Liu Cuigang, and a bottle of white wine. They only drank less than half of it. It seemed that these two leaders of the independent division aviation were not interested in drinking.

However, although they did not drink much wine, both of them were somewhat tipsy. This is probably the artistic conception of people getting drunk even if they are not drunk. They also ate very little food. Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, more

Just chatting, talking about everything, ever since the two of them were in the country

From the beginning of the acquaintance with Zhejiang Jianqiao Aviation School of the Aviation Administration of the People's Republic of China, to the "August, 13th" air battle on the Songhu battlefield, and then to receiving the invitation from the division commander to serve as an instructor at Dingbian Aviation School, and finally to a general with a large number of troops, he became independent

An important figure.

Speaking of which, Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin, since the spring of 1939, according to the division commander's order, the independent division aviation force was split into two major flight groups, the north and the south. They have been on different battlefields, fighting with the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force, the British Garrison

The Indian Air Force and the Soviet Air Force were engaged in desperate aerial battles. There was never a chance like today to sit together and talk about the past.

Liu Cuigang took a sip of wine and asked meaningfully: "Yiqin, when the two of us accepted the invitation of the division commander and left the national army to become instructors at Dingbian Aviation School, did you ever think that we would be able to hold the rank of major general today?

Can he command thousands of combat aircraft and become a powerful figure? Can he be as powerful as he is today?"

Le Yiqin was quite generous. She drank half the glass of wine in one gulp, wiped her mouth and said with a smile: "Cui Gang, to be honest, I didn't expect it at all. At that time, I just wanted to beat the Japanese to my heart's content. I would have a great time beating the Japanese here."

, just go wherever you go. Our brothers who were in the same period did not have a good time at Jianqiao Aviation School. You still remember Mao Bangchu, the commander of the fighter force, right? He was the guy who ate people's food and did nothing for others! "
