Age of Conquest Reborn

The independent division chief of staff, Major General Zhao Yuhe, was stunned by the concise and incisive words of the division commander Tang Qiuli. Then he smiled. In just one sentence, the division commander explained the different command and combat styles of the two aviation generals.

Indeed, if Le Yiqin had directed this air cover, it would have been possible to blow up the three groups of Japanese troops who were pursuing them all the way back to Vladivostok. But if he could not only cover the retreat of the troops but not frighten the Japanese troops, he would not be as good as Liu Cuigang.

These are two air warriors with complementary personalities who complement each other. However, they were previously responsible for the two major aviation groups of the independent division aviation. Each has its own stage to perform, and they have not cooperated together. This difference is not obvious yet.

In this large-scale northern campaign, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang cooperated. Maybe in the eyes of others, there was no difference, but the division commander had a keen eye and could tell the essence with one word. Zhao Yuhe had scarred the Marine Corps.

The worries of the three brigades being chased by nearly 100,000 Japanese troops disappeared. The division commander was not worried. He might be disturbing himself. If he allowed his troops to suffer losses while they had absolute air supremacy, the future battles would be ruined.

, no need to fight?

"Commander, are you going to give additional orders to Commander Liu alone?" Zhao Yuhe asked in confirmation.

Tang Qiuli had already walked to the map and said without looking back: "Yes, as for the specific method of fighting, Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin will discuss it. I just want the result!" When Zhao Yuhe went out, he saw the teacher.

On the military map of the Liaodong Peninsula, two red lines were drawn fiercely. One was centered on Wafangdian and extended to both sides, and the other extended from Andong to the north. He felt very relaxed. The division commander had already defeated the third Japanese army.

The army will be the target of the next attack.

Colonel Meng Jianzhu, commander of the 1st Regiment of the 6th Marine Brigade, who was responsible for blocking the Japanese army, did not have the division chief of staff Zhao Yu and Major General who were far away in Kailu, eastern Mongolia. The relaxed mood at this moment came from the three regiments and the brigade guard company.

The reconnaissance company and other directly affiliated troops, more than 6,000 soldiers, were standing in a neat square in front of him. Not far from the north, gunshots were heard intensively, and tens of thousands of Japanese troops were sweeping over like a flood.

.

The place where the troops gathered was the favorable terrain mentioned by the brigade commander, Major General Jiang Xianliang. In Meng Jianzhu's view, this place was not even a highland. At most, it was a hillock covered with waist-deep wormwood and shrubs.

.a few strips of soil

The road passes over a hillock. If possible, Meng Jianzhu would never choose the location to stop the attack. The soil is loose and there are no stones to use, which means that the urgently built field fortifications cannot withstand two rounds of artillery attacks by the little Japanese.

.

However, this is the only available terrain leading to Andong. Beyond that, there is the desert wilderness leading directly to Andong. There is no danger to defend. Meng Jianzhu only glanced a few times and was about to face a battle.

The blocking location of the bloody battle was clearly visible. Originally, the pursuing Japanese army was only a dozen kilometers away. The troops should immediately start building fortifications to gain a huge advantage for themselves.

But in Meng Jianzhu's view, there were more important things to do. He climbed onto a mound in a few steps, glanced at the formation like a knife, and feeling the emotions of the soldiers in each unit, he loudly said: "Can you

Standing here are all the soldiers of our Sixth Brigade who can still pick up guns and fight. To be honest, there are tens of thousands of little devils not far behind us, less than fifteen kilometers away from us!"

"And behind us are our brigade headquarters and more than 10,000 poisoned and wounded brothers. Our mission is to stay here and fight for more than five hours for the main force of the brigade to retreat. Six thousand versus tens of thousands, not yet

Artillery support, this is a desperate blocking battle, maybe five hours later, we all, including me, Meng Jianzhu, will have to lie here, and the little Japanese will walk over our bodies!"

"However, before we are dead, the little Japs must not take even a step forward. Five hours of blocking time. This is a fatal order. You come from all the units in the brigade and are temporarily grouped together. You can say that you are a group, and you all know it is

What's going on, the soldiers of other regiments and brigades directly under the command may not understand my temper, Meng Jianzhu. In a word, anyone who escapes from the battle, is afraid of the enemy and refuses to carry out orders will be killed!"

A cold light appeared in Meng Jianzhu's eyes, and the word "kill" suddenly popped out from his chest. With a "crash", his big hand opened the bolt of the submachine gun. Even if the sunshine in June was bright, it was still the sixth day of the formation.

More than a thousand officers and soldiers felt overwhelmed

With a chill, they looked at the colonel, who was as thick as a black iron tower. Although except for the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion of the regiment, who knew the temper of their own regiment commander, most of the officers and soldiers of the other regiments and brigade directly under the command did not understand Meng Jianzhu.

, but no one dared to doubt his words.

Meng Jianzhu continued: "Don't worry, everyone, I will command at the forefront. If I die, the fourth battalion commander of the first regiment will take over the command. If he dies, the fourth battalion commander of the second regiment will take over, and so on, until we have more than 6,000 people."

, five hours later, everyone fell on the ground, and the mission ended automatically!"

"Now, I order the troops to deploy in accordance with the order of battle. Each battalion sends a company to follow me two kilometers ahead of the position to lay mines and explosives. The other troops immediately build fortifications to dig out the mines before the little devils arrive.

Two to three trenches, as well as interconnected communication trenches, and try to dig as many single-person artillery defense holes as possible. The Japs have a lot of cannons. If you want to survive five hours, artillery defense holes are indispensable. Okay, without further ado, each one

The troops will take action immediately!"

Following Meng Jianzhu's order, the army of more than 6,000 people was immediately divided into two parts. Most of the officers and soldiers immediately began to build fortifications frantically. They were all veterans who had been on the battlefield. They knew that Commander Meng's words were not to scare everyone.

Son, the other three companies picked up boxes of mines and explosives and ran forward as hard as they could. Time was running out. Maybe, in less than an hour, there would be swarms of little Japanese all over the mountains and plains in front of them.

At Incheon Airport on the Korean Peninsula, two days ago, Liu Cuigang led the Aviation Joint Command to station the entire Incheon Airport. At this moment, Incheon, after emergency repairs and temporary expansion, has become the command center of the independent division aviation, with more than six fighter jets.

Regiment, four bomber regiments, and a field airport where more than 800 combat aircraft are located.

The aviation command organization has just arrived in Incheon, and there are countless things that need to be dealt with. The two big bosses of the aviation force have no involvement at all and leave everything to He Zhijun, chief of staff of the Southern Flying Group, and Dong Ningxuan, chief of staff of the Northern Flying Group.

, the euphemistic name is full delegation of power, but in the eyes of the two chiefs of staff, it is suspected of laziness!

Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin focused their attention on the Japanese mainland across the Sea of ​​Japan. From the Liaodong Peninsula to the Korean Peninsula, the Little Japanese lost their air supremacy, but the two people who had fought with the Japanese aviation for many years understood that the Japanese

The Japanese will definitely not let this situation continue. The only possibility is to continue to mobilize air power from the mainland to compete with themselves for air supremacy.

However, the aviation command organization moved forward to Incheon Airport, and now has six fighter regiments in hand. Coupled with the fleet's carrier-based aircraft, it is still not a problem to deal with more than a thousand Japanese fighter groups, not to mention the main force of the Shandong Peninsula.

fleet.

At the control tower of Incheon Airport, Le Yiqin half-squinted his eyes and looked at the rows of fighter planes arranged neatly on the tarmac under the sun, which looked so majestic. He smiled with satisfaction, turned back to Liu Cuigang and said: "Cui Gang, since we killed

Little devil's

After the Korean Peninsula United Air Force, the Japs have been quiet recently. Except for Meng Qingpeng in the Outer Mongolia cruising area, who was fighting with the Japs' fleet in the Far East airspace, we haven't fought in a few days! We feel so idle!

"

Liu Cuigang smiled "haha" and asked: "Yiqin, what do you mean? Are you trying to do something in Japan?"

Le Yiqin immediately became interested and said: "You know me, old fellow! You see, we have the initiative. Instead of waiting around, we might as well take the initiative. I will lead five fighter regiments and two bomber regiments deep into Kyushu.

Island, take the little devil there

What kind of Saga Air Force Base is it? Is it the forward airport for destroying the Japs? Our ground radar station monitors the movements of the Japs Air Force in all directions, and the take-off distance of the fleet has been greatly shortened. A surprise attack is entirely possible.

!”

Liu Cuigang still smiled and said calmly, "It's a very good idea. Can the teacher approve it?"

Le Yiqin grinned and said mysteriously: "Isn't it because I don't have any confidence in my heart and I want to discuss it with you? The division commander is still willing to listen to your words. Why don't I report the battle plan to the division commander in your name? I guess,

The possibility of the division commander's approval is very high. He knows

You, Liu Cuigang, never do anything risky. How do you say that? Yes, 'Liu Cuigang is a thoughtful, calm and composed person who is used to considering tactical issues from an overall perspective!' Look, isn't this just a compliment?

Do you have many tricks and tricks?"

Liu Cuigang was speechless. He covered his head and almost groaned in pain. He looked helplessly at his old friend, "Is this called praising? There are so many tricks and tricks!" The staff officers in the command tower said,

Listening to the conversation between the two aviation bosses, everyone covered their mouths in amusement.

"Report!" Colonel He Zhijun, chief of staff of the Southern Flying Group, walked in hurriedly, "Two commanders, please send two urgent telegrams!" He held two telegrams and said to Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin.

Le Yiqin's eyes flashed, she walked to He Zhijun in a few steps, turned around with a big smile, and said to Liu Cuigang: "What's up, old man, I, Le Yiqin, am a lucky general, I can come wherever I want, no need to ask for a fight like this, it must be

The battle order issued by the division commander, Chief of Staff He, show me the telegram. This time, where does the division commander want us to fight?"

He Zhijun grinned awkwardly and explained in a low voice: "Commander, the order from the division commander is not for you. Both orders were given to Commander Liu!"
