Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated Chapter 406

Jiaodong area, the command post of the third brigade of the Qilu Column.

After receiving the combat order from the tiger in the forest, Monk Xu took his guard squad without saying a word and immediately took the air train transport plane back to the troop station.

In a newly built tile-roofed house, the commanders of each main regiment have been waiting here for a long time.

Everyone who was having a heated discussion immediately stopped communicating when they saw their brigade commander pushing open the door of the combat conference room in the dust, and all stood up and saluted to greet him.

“Okay, everyone, sit down.”

Monk Xu ignored the greetings with everyone, took off his hat and waved his hand to signal the meeting to start.

“I'll make a long story short, I think everyone should have seen the telegram just sent from the military region. That's right! The targets of our operation are the four cities of Qing, Yan, Wei and Wei.”

At this point, Monk Xu pretended to pause.

His eyes looked around the room, and after sensing the strong fighting spirit of his comrades, he then said with high spirits:

"In the entire Jiaodong area, the enemy's army has only one independent mixed fifth brigade. The only supporting force is a special marine force with a total number of about three thousand."

“Even including other chaotic military police and secret service agencies, the total strength of the Japanese will not exceed 10,000.”

“From a paper strength perspective, our brigade has an absolute advantage in this operation. Because in three days, the headquarters will send a field artillery battalion, five heavy mortar battalions and a large amount of infantry equipment.”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uncontrollable commotion in the conference room. The leaders of the main groups looked at each other, all showing excited expressions.

As soldiers, they naturally cannot resist the temptation of advanced weapons.

And according to the existing intelligence, the independent mixed fifth brigade is only equipped with more than 20 mountain and field artillery pieces, which are still scattered among various infantry brigades.

In this way, our heavy firepower on all battlefields can completely overwhelm the enemy.

"so!"

Monk Xu raised his already loud voice.

“Let's open up the fight this time! Be a landlord and rich man for once! All are main attacks, no assists! Break the enemy's backbone in one breath!”

"good!"

Hearing this, the group leaders could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts and laughed even more heartily.

Most of them are Qilu people and have been troubled by logistical problems since they joined the army. This is really the first time for everyone to command this kind of rich battle.

　　"Laugh no matter what, please be serious!"

Thinking of Commissar Luo's instructions, Monk Xu made a serious face.

"Although it is an assist and a main attack, I will not increase your troops, nor will I give you extra artillery. With this change, you have to rely on your own ability to turn the enemy upside down!"

"yes!"

Everyone saluted together, with murderous intent in their eyes.

In fact, there is one thing that Monk Xu did not tell the regiment leaders present, that is, he applied for support from the headquarters of the First Marine Regiment.

This is not because he is too cautious, but mainly because the Jiaodong area is extremely deep and wide, and it is really not easy to fight a beautiful annihilation battle.

With the exception of Jiao'ao, once the enemy's remnants are defeated and allowed to flee back to the city and stick to it, leading to street fighting, the number of casualties will be beyond their control.

One week later, Jiaoao. In the temporarily built underground headquarters, Uchida Ginnosuke was wearing a brand new major general uniform, with a family samurai sword hanging on his waist, and listened to the staff report on the military situation with a serious face.

"General, the enemy's offensive is too fierce. We have completely lost control of the three cities of Wei, Wei and Yan."

“A large number of Eighth Route Army troops are gathering towards the defense lines in Chengyang and Jiaoxian areas. Our forward observation post even discovered a small number of armored troops.”

“Based on the available intelligence, we can infer that the Eighth Route Army that is about to encircle Jiaoao has no less than 30,000 people, and also contains nearly a hundred heavy artillery pieces with a caliber greater than 105 mm.”

After the staff officer finished speaking, the expressions of several Japanese officers in the headquarters changed, with obvious despair in their eyes.

The reason is simple, the gap is too big.

Even if we include the navy, we only have 4,000 men. We are surrounded by almost ten times the number of enemies. This is not a battle of the same level at all.

Moreover, the warriors are extremely short of anti-tank weapons, and their hard attack value is almost zero, and they cannot break the Golden Shield of the Eighth Route Army at all.

In a sense, this scene is very similar to 1937, except that the identities of the two parties have been exchanged.

As for retreating by sea, first move into friendly territory and then wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack?

Don't be kidding, let's not talk about whether we can get together a transport ship. Even if we really want to take the sea route, the Eighth Route Army's air force will not give them such an opportunity.

Thinking of those unique-looking dive bombers, cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of all the Japanese soldiers.

But before anyone could speak and express their despair about the situation, there was a violent explosion outside, and at the same time, the lights overhead began to shake.

“Oh, what a pity!”

“I have said before that the Eighth Route Army in the Jiaodong area will definitely become a serious problem for our country.”

“If we can seize the opportunity and launch a new round of winter sweeps before its wings are fully fledged, the current situation will never be so passive.”

The third brigade of the Qilu Column is headquartered in Asan.

It is located in the center of the Jiaodong Peninsula. It controls Yantai to the north and the Hailai Plain to the south. It is the link between the east and west of Jiaodong and has always been a battleground for military strategists.

Uchida Ginnosuke had previously planned to launch a large-scale raid, and even contacted the local capitulationists to serve as guides.

It's a pity that the Eighth Route Army moved much faster, giving him no chance to deploy troops or generals.

Thinking of this, he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He drew out his katana and veins popped out on the back of his hand:

“Everyone, the time has come for you to be loyal to your brother's country and to the Heavenly Locust.”

"Even if the situation on the battlefield is not favorable to us, everyone must stick to their posts and wait for reinforcements sent by the Lieutenant General!"

As for reinforcements, the Japanese are all well aware of it. Since the enemy dares to launch a general attack, there must be a large force holding back the main force of the Twelfth Army.

However, the middle-level commanders of the independent fifth brigade were all the first batch of veterans to come to the battlefield of the Republic of China, and their loyalty to their brother country and Tianlu had long been engraved deep in their souls.

"Hi!"

After Uchida Ginnosuke finished speaking, a group of Japanese officers in the headquarters lowered their heads and spoke in a fanatical tone:

“Long live the Japanese Empire, long live your Majesty the Locust.” (End of this chapter)
