Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 3070: The pre-war preparations of the independent division

Seriously speaking, Tang Qiuli is not a qualified corps commander. In recent years, the brigades directly under the corps have basically been in a state of dispersed operations or under the command of other corps. Even after the recent capture of Sumatra Island,

During the battle, six brigades were assigned to the command of Deputy Division Commander Tang Qiusheng to fight in Australia. The remaining ten brigades attacked Sumatra Island and were commanded by Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe. By the time Tang Qiuli arrived on the battlefield, the battle was already approaching.

The end.

Therefore, these brigade commanders were very happy to see the division commander. In addition to asking about the content of this military meeting, they also asked the division commander how he was. The whole room was noisy and lively. Tang Qiuli was also very happy.

, In the past few years, I have rarely personally commanded the direct corps in combat, and the opportunities to meet with these brigade commanders have naturally become much less. Now, with sixteen brigade commanders, all in their thirties,

I feel very kind and grounded in my heart.

"Liu Hongzhang, I heard that you have been in the limelight again recently?" Tang Qiuli looked at Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the first brigade, and said with a smile.

Liu Hongzhang grinned and replied hurriedly: "Sir, please don't praise me. What's the point of being in the limelight? You also know that I am a well-behaved and honest person. I never do anything my superiors ask me to do."

Vague!" He felt like a mirror in his mind. The division commander must have known about the battle in Roy Hill City a few days ago.

"You're quite humble!" Tang Qiuli said with a smile still: "But no matter how you look at it, it's not your Liu Hongzhang's style. Riding alone for thousands of miles, with less than 10,000 soldiers, he fought in the first battle of Roy Hill City and defeated it.

You captured more than half of the city. You wiped out more than 4,000 Japanese defenders. It was such a fun fight! It attracted Yanzaburo Ito to use nearly 40,000 troops for you!"

"Then, surrounded by the Japanese army on three sides, he remained calm and composed. He commanded the troops to attack with a black tiger and severely damaged the 39th brigade of the Japanese army. The Southeast Mobile Corps and more than 20 brigades directly under the corps participated in the battle. Only you, Liu Hongzhang, dared to do so.

Breaking the rules of the headquarters, fighting in battles, eating meat and drinking soup, how can you not be in the limelight?"

Liu Hongzhang's face suddenly fell down, and he shrank his neck and became silent. He felt a little uneasy, why did he hear that the commander had something to say? He didn't know that after the battle of Roy Hill City, Deputy Commander Tang was

How did you report it to the teacher?

Chu Ziye, the commander of the Fourth Brigade, is an old friend of Liu Hongzhang. I can’t say that the relationship between the two is good, but they are also not convinced by each other and compete with each other in everything. To be honest, he dares to Liu Hongzhang in

Even though tens of thousands of Japanese troops were surrounded from three sides, they still fought three battles in a row and retreated unscathed. I still admire them very much.

However, Chu Ziye thought that he had no chance. If he encountered the situation in Roy Hill City, he would fight even better than Liu Hongzhang. When his teacher said this, he secretly laughed in his heart. He took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and said: "

Division Commander, you don’t know that in the past few years you have rarely personally commanded the direct corps in combat, but Brigadier Liu does whatever he wants, showing a strong disobedience to the Chinese government!"

"That is to say, you, Old Liu, are lucky enough to meet a group of stupid little devils. They give you a piece of fat and let you take advantage of it. If the commander of the little devils had been me, more than four thousand people would have paid back.

If you can defend the city of Royhill and retreat while fighting, with your temper, Old Liu, and you are still chasing after you with red eyes, you have to lure thousands of your people into the ditch. Therefore, Commander, his daring problem,

Get cured!"

Liu Hongzhang was so angry that he glared at Chu Ziye fiercely, and said with a grimace: "Old Chu, you don't mean to say that! If you say that among the dozen of people among us, he is the most courageous and loves to do extraordinary things.

Or you are the big guy Chu, don’t you think so?” He frequently winked at Xiao Jinshan, the commander of the 9th Brigade, Ren Zhaoquan, the commander of the 11th Brigade and several others.

A dozen other brigade commanders all burst into laughter. Tang Qiuli held back his laughter and waved his hands and said, "Come on Liu Hongzhang, Deputy Commander Tang has reported to me in detail. You will not be rewarded for your violation of orders."

Punishment equals merit and demerit!"

"Oh, you scared me into a cold sweat!" Liu Hongzhang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's it. I just think that the fighter planes at that time were good. Although the Japs were surrounded on three sides, there was a time lag and the timing was accurate.

, we can still take a bite, does our army have the advantage of mechanized marching?"

"Oh!" Tang Qiuli looked at Liu Hongzhang thoughtfully and said, "Well, tell me, what are the strengths and weaknesses of the Japanese troops on the Australian battlefield?"

Liu Hongzhang thought for a while and replied: "Commander, if we talk about the little devils on the Australian battlefield, I can see what their strengths are. Well, except for a few divisions who have suffered our losses on the domestic battlefield, they are cautious.

, most of the Japanese divisions have never fought against our troops, I wonder if arrogance is a strength?"

The brigade commanders, including Tang Qiuli, suddenly burst into laughter. Xiao Jinshan, the commander of the 9th Brigade, was so happy that he couldn't breathe and said: "I say Brigadier Liu, you really have it, even this can be summed up

Come out, you talented people!”

"What are the weaknesses of the Japanese troops on the Australian battlefield?" Tang Qiuli asked again with a smile.

Liu Hongzhang himself was also happy and replied: "To put it simply, there are three points. First, the mobility is too poor. The little devils do not have the rapid mobility of our troops. Therefore, Deputy Division Commander Tang's order in the final stage of the battle in the central battlefield

, absolutely correct, form a capable fast pursuit column, actively look for fighter opportunities, adopt bite-and-go tactics, and let the old devil Ito's trick of luring the enemy deep in, did not gain any benefits at all!

"Secondly, the Japs lack heavy equipment. Therefore, after catching the fighter plane, we can take advantage of the firepower to inflict heavy damage on the enemy in front of us before the Japanese reinforcements from around us arrive, and then quickly evacuate the battlefield.

, even if the little devil reinforcements arrive, they will only be in the dust!"

"The third point is that the Japs don't have air supremacy. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to fight three battles in a row in Roy Hill City! That's all I have summarized. Other brigade commanders can add to it!"

Liu Hongzhang said with some complacency, attracting the disdainful looks of more than a dozen brigade commanders. However, Liu Hongzhang's summary hit the nail on the head, "Commander, I also deeply understand the points summarized by Brigadier Liu."

I understand!" Chu Ziye rarely disagreed with him.

"That's a good summary!" Tang Qiuli praised, "However, two points have changed. Recently, the Japanese army purchased a large number of arms from Italy, mainly large-caliber artillery, tanks and combat aircraft. Therefore, in future battles,

, the Japanese army’s firepower and air superiority will undergo great changes, but as for its maneuverability, it will remain the same.”

"Based on this situation, you can carefully consider how to fight future battles after you return! Also, the staff office will send you information about the Italian army's active equipment. Take a good look at it to know yourself and the enemy!"

"Lack of mobility. The short legs of the little devil are a fatal barrier. Australia has a vast territory and a huge maneuvering space on the battlefield. It is most suitable for mechanized troop maneuvers. Even if the little devil adds heavy artillery, tanks and combat aircraft, it cannot overcome this problem.

It's all in vain!" Chu Ziye rushed ahead of the others and hurriedly expressed his opinion.

Tang Qiuli was very happy. The brigade commanders under his command were quite clear-headed and understood the weaknesses of the Japanese army. As for the so-called fierce combat style of the Japanese soldiers, they had seen through the essence in several years of competition.

It's not worth mentioning, but it turns out that I was worried that after fighting a few smooth battles, my head was all burning?

However, Tang Qiuli still reminded: "Although the Italian army is not famous in the world, the performance of its current weapons and equipment is quite good, much stronger than the Japanese army's active equipment. Therefore, it cannot be fought against the Japanese army.

It is particularly important to treat future operations with old ideas and old experiences!"

"Hey! Commander, we have never seen Italian products perform on the battlefield. How do you know they are better than the little devils?" Liu Hongzhang suddenly discovered this and asked curiously.

"Oh! Are you knowledgeable about paying attention to everything?" Tang Qiuli was stunned for a moment and said: "I have read the relevant intelligence information first. Furthermore, if the performance is not superior, can the Japanese purchase it in large quantities?" The last one

This sentence is obviously a bit of a cover-up.

"Oh!" The brigade commanders were convinced. They didn't see the flash of nostalgia in Tang Qiuli's eyes. How could they not know this? In future generations, they could make up a story just by searching on the Internet.

This map of the main weapons deployed by each army on the battlefields of World War II is as detailed as the designers and engineers who originally designed and manufactured these weapons!

A few days later, on September 5th, a military meeting with the largest number of officers participating in the history of the independent division was held on time. At the meeting, Major General Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff of the division, emphatically announced the basic guidance outline of the Australian campaign plan.

, this combat plan still implements Tang Qiuli's consistent command style, but stipulates the core regulations and the deployment of troops in each corps.

As for how to fight, the commanders of each corps can make a combat plan on the fly based on the specific situation of the enemy they face and submit it to the division commander for approval. Even the brigade commanders can come up with the most suitable plan based on the combat plan of the corps headquarters.

Based on the brigade combat plan, it is a typical thinking of delegating power and not doing things in their own way.

What makes Liu Hongzhang, Chu Ziye and other directly affiliated corps brigade commanders happy is that the advantages and disadvantages of the Australian Japanese troops they summarized were used as the focus of this meeting and communicated to each corps for reference. This made Liu Hongzhang and the others' faces light up.

I am quite proud that the military meeting lasted for two days. After the meeting, the commanders of each corps and the commanders of each brigade rushed back to the troops and began to mobilize the troops in accordance with the spirit of the meeting and began to make pre-war deployments.

However, deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng, commanders of the northern and southern fleets of the independent division Tang Qiuquan and Amosiev, commanders of the two aviation groups Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, former Australian battlefield aviation commander Wu Zhenjiang, and armored commander Battelle

Waiting for others, but was left alone.
