Age of Conquest Reborn

The meeting of officers above the chiefs of staff of the various units affiliated to the Southeast Mobile Corps has been held until now. The commander, Major General Ma Chaoyang, has basically set the tone for the huge casualties suffered by the ninth brigade and the offensive troops.

No one will be held responsible for leadership responsibility, down to the brigade commander and below. In fact, this is not Ma Chaoyang's mistake of appeasing traitors and shielding his subordinates. The offensive orders and tactics adopted came from him, the commander of the corps, so of course he must bear the responsibility.

.

The protagonist of today's incident, Major General Hao Jiasheng, commander of the 9th Brigade, could not sit still. If the commander gave him a harsh lecture, even in front of many officers, he would feel better. However,

The commander takes over all the responsibilities, how can he accept it?

Hao Jiasheng suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Report to the commander, I have different opinions from my humble position. I command the ninth brigade. When the commander of the second regiment proposed to suspend the attack and adjust tactics, it was I who ordered the second regiment to do so at any cost.

We must continue to attack. Therefore, I am the one directly responsible. You cannot take all the responsibility on yourself! I am willing to bear all responsibilities and accept the punishment from the Crossing Battle Command and the division commander!" His tone was very exciting.

Ma Chaoyang couldn't help but frown slightly, stared at Hao Jiasheng for a while, and said: "Hao Jiasheng, I said, it is not the responsibility of the commanders at all levels below, don't you understand? At the combat review meeting of your ninth brigade,

What did you say to your commander, 'Are we all Liangshan heroes? We share the same responsibility!' I will return this sentence to you intact. Well, don't dwell on this matter!

"

Hao Jiasheng swallowed and sat down reluctantly. Ma Chaoyang said: "The second question is about the Corps' newly formulated Mokpo combat plan. Let's discuss it. The core gist of this new combat plan is to use Mokpo

Attack group plus mountains

The three brigades of the attack group, with a total of ten brigades of troops, are fighting a war of attrition on the Mokpo battlefield with the Japanese and Korean garrison troops and more than 200,000 troops gathered on the line from Busan to Mokpo. Now, please let the chief of staff read out the battle.

Plan. Then, discuss!”

Chief of Staff Xu Guangqi stood up, opened the folder, and read out the newly formulated combat plan in a leisurely but clear voice. The specific plan is as follows. Starting at dawn the day after tomorrow, a full-line attack will be launched against the Japanese second line of defense in Mokpo. The firepower deployment is as follows

The two artillery brigades that will arrive from the Shandong Peninsula tomorrow morning, coupled with the existing small and medium-caliber artillery, will form six artillery groups to provide effective artillery support for the offensive forces. At the same time, they will suppress the Japanese artillery and look for opportunities to destroy it.

!

The naval guns of the naval fleet provide long-range artillery support. In principle, they are used in the direction of the frontal attack force. The aviation bomber force also coordinates with the two tank brigades of the armored force that will also arrive tomorrow morning. They are dispersed in regiments to various areas.

brigade, providing cover for the attacking troops and minimizing troop casualties.

The offensive deployment is that the three brigades of the Marine Corps, the 10th, 11th, and 12th brigades, will launch across the board and attack the Japanese positions from different fronts. The specific tactics are that each brigade will have no more than three troops per attack.

Battalion, tanks are one battalion, maintain the maximum offensive gap, do not aim at seizing Japanese positions, aim at luring the Japanese fire points to be exposed, annihilate the effective forces of the Japanese army, and hand them over to the bomber group, corps artillery group and naval gun group, the 9th Brigade

For the general reserve team for the battle.

Xu Guangqi said: "This is a battle plan determined by the commander and staff after careful study. For our regiment, it can be said to be a new way of fighting. How to control the heat will put considerable pressure on the Japanese army.

To force the Japanese commander to continuously add troops to the second line of defense, and to minimize the casualties of the attacking troops, and to prevent the Japanese from seeing through our intentions, it is very important to the command and judgment of each brigade commander.

!”

At this time, Ma Chaoyang interjected: "Of course, the plan is dead, but the people are alive. If there is a chance to break through the Japanese army's position, then break in directly and attract the Japanese army to repeatedly fight for the breakthrough. Everyone may be surprised that we have absolute

air superiority, huge bombardment

The bombing group arrived at a moment's notice, as well as the newly arrived two heavy artillery brigades, two tank brigades, and the fire support of large-caliber naval guns from more than a dozen warships on the sea. Why not break through the Japanese second line in one go?

Position, take Mokpo directly, and attack Gwangju and Busan?"

"Also, the three brigades in the Gunsan direction will reach the Mokpo battlefield in two days. Why not attack Gwangju and Busan and stab the little Japanese in the side so that the Japanese troops in the Mokpo direction will not receive reinforcements?

, wouldn’t it be better to fight this battle! In other words, fight a large-scale annihilation battle! Tens of thousands of little devils, this one is not small!”

The officers all smiled and nodded with deep understanding. The commander's words were exactly what they had in mind. As far as the Mokpo battlefield is concerned, our troops and firepower have an absolute advantage whether it is in the air, at sea or on the ground.

Then why bother? Just break through the second line of defense of the little devils and capture Mokpo directly. The 60,000 to 70,000 little devils in Mokpo are a lot of fat, aren't they?

But the commander's new battle plan is to fight repeatedly with the Japs on the second line of defense of the Japanese army. It is not aimed at breaking through. When this battle starts, the hands will be tied up. The heat is very difficult to control. For example, if

One of the troops, with only two battalions, broke through the Japanese defense line. The other troops were still attacking. There was only one breakthrough point on the entire line. Do you think this breakthrough point should be defended or not?

If we defend, the strength of the two battalions will withstand the counterattack of several times or even more than ten times the strength of the Japanese army. Needless to say, everyone present is a veteran. They know very well what the consequences will be. The commander has said that there will be no follow-up troops.

If support is not defended, then what is the use of the laborious breakthrough? Repeatedly fighting for positions, the casualties paid by the attacking side will always be higher, isn't it worth the loss!

Ma Chaoyang saw the reactions of the officers and was not surprised. At this time, Chief of Staff Xu Guangqi had also finished reading out the battle plan. Ma Chaoyang said: "I know you have doubts about fighting such a battle.

It's not a thankless task, but what I want to tell you is, don't forget that the core purpose of this combat plan is to use our absolute superiority in sea, land and air firepower to consume a large amount of the Japanese army's effective forces to achieve the purpose of annihilating the enemy in the wild!

"

"Our appetite cannot be limited to the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula. Think about it, our offensive is fierce and we are ready to eat Mokpo in one bite. The Japanese troops on the front lines of Gwangju and Busan will definitely come back for reinforcements. We are still fighting fiercely. The Japanese troops will definitely

What will happen if you can't stand it anymore?"

"Yes, I will ask for help from Japan. Well, my ten brigades, with sufficient logistical support and superior sea, land and air firepower, are in Mokpo, fighting against the Japanese to provide Japanese reinforcements to the Korean Peninsula. Then,

Reinforce troops from other places

The strength will be tight. In this sense, it directly supports the Northeast battlefield. Thinking further, if the little devils allocate all the domestic troops, wouldn’t it be possible when we break into the little devils’ lair in the future?

Saves a lot of effort!”

Oops, Ma Chaoyang's words opened a window for the officers who participated in the meeting. It became clear to their hearts that we were fighting a war of attrition with the little devils in Mokpo on the Korean Peninsula. Not only did we support the Northeast battlefield, but we also prepared for the future.

Breaking into the little devil's lair has laid the foundation. There's no doubt about it. Let's do it!

"Wow!" Warm applause rang out, and Ma Chaoyang smiled. In fact, Ma Chaoyang himself was guessing about the latter effect, but he could feel the division commander's overall strategic vision to regain the Northeast and seize the Korean Peninsula.

It is by no means the ultimate goal of the division commander. In the Far East, the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force was held back by Deputy Commander Liu's East Command troops. It was another piece of fat in the eyes of the division commander!

What happens after eating the fat meat of the Japanese troops in the Far East? Ma Chaoyang couldn't imagine that the division commander's next target would be other areas. It could only be the Japanese archipelago, the home of the little devils. Then his plan was to consume it in advance.

Japan's domestic war potential can be analyzed from the fact that the division commander did not specify that the Southeast Mobile Corps could capture the entire Korean Peninsula within a limited time. This also gave Ma Chaoyang the confidence to formulate a new combat plan.

Of course, if the division commander does not approve his new battle plan, it will not disrupt the deployment. He will simply give the three brigades from the direction of Gunsan an order to continue attacking Gwangju and Busan, and the troops from the direction of Mokpo will increase their offensive intensity.

, it can be solved by investing more troops.

The officers were excited and eager to give it a try. Ma Chaoyang took a sip of water and asked: "If anyone has different opinions, feel free to speak up. Is this a discussion today?"

Hao Jiasheng, commander of the 9th Brigade, stood up and said loudly: "Commander, I have an opinion!"

Ma Chaoyang glared at him and said angrily: "Why is it you Hao Jiasheng again! If you have any opinions, please tell me!"

Hao Jiasheng said: "Commander, I have no objection at all to the new combat plan formulated by the corps. What I have an objection to is regarding the deployment of troops. Why was our ninth brigade adjusted from the position of the main offensive force?

As a battle reserve, does it mean that just because of the losses in the daytime battle, our Ninth Brigade has lost the qualification to carry out the main attack and is a disabled unit? Can no longer shoulder important tasks? "

As soon as Hao Jiasheng finished speaking, Qi Guodong stood up. Immediately, all the officers of the Ninth Brigade who participated in the meeting stood up and said in unison: "Commander, please consider that the Ninth Brigade can still carry out the main attack."

!”

Ma Chaoyang looked at the red-headed and flushed Hao Jiasheng, and then at the officers of the 9th Brigade who were standing straight with unwilling expressions on their faces. He burst into laughter and said, "Hey Hao Jiasheng, what's going on? Take your men with you."

Are these soldiers forcing the palace?"
