June 12, 1942, N4A 1st Division Headquarters.
As the saying goes, it takes brothers to fight a tiger. In order to fully support the next stage of the airborne troops' combat plan, the border region decisively issued an order for cross-provincial joint operations to the fourth master in the south.
The specific telegram arrived at the Central Soviet Military Region early the next morning.
"Commander, come and take a look! Taiyuan urgent call, the friendly forces in the north are making big moves again, this time our main force will also join the battle!"
Following a steady sound of footsteps, a handsome commander with obvious mixed-race features strode into the command post of the First Division.
This man is none other than the Phoenix among the four masters. He is the only designated godfather of gangs in the two provinces of Hubei and Jiangsu Province. Brigadier Di, who has to be called Grandmaster when Zhou Tai comes.
Hearing the shouts of joy from the capable man, 502, who was still looking at the map, put down the colored marker in his hand, and then said in a tone full of doubts:
"Huh? A combat mission in the north? Could it be that the Qilu Military Region, which is a tiger in the forest, is making some big move? They are finally going to attack the 12th Army?"
"Don't be pretentious and get the message quickly."
"If we go north to support the friendly forces, then I have to carefully plan the troop dispatch and logistics-related matters. Departing the army is not an easy task."
From the perspective of 502, half of Henan Province has been liberated, and there is no need for support from the Central Soviet Military Region in a short period of time.
The Chahar region borders the Japanese, so a large-scale war may break out at any time. However, we are in the middle of China, thousands of miles away from the future battlefield, and even if we want to help, we can't reach it.
So after eliminating the wrong options, the final answer naturally emerges: the war in Shandong Province is about to begin, and the army's morale wizards are preparing to send their first division to help.
Facts have proved that 502's conjecture has basically no problems in the general direction.
After entering the door of the combat conference room, Brigadier Di answered straight to the point:
"Over at the border area, our division was ordered to send seven main regiments to arrive at the junction of Sulu and Shandong provinces on the 26th of this month. The boss specifically emphasized that comrades must always be prepared for battle."
"The specific mission details are all in the message in my hand. You can read it yourself."
As soon as these words came out, the commander of the First Division immediately stood up from his seat. He took the telegram handed over by Brigadier Di, and then started reading it directly on the spot.
After a few minutes, 502 sighed silently.
He stretched out his right hand, and the five fingers first turned into claws, and then they clenched tightly into a fist.
"Seven main regiments, seven main regiments. It seems that with seven main regiments in hand, we can conquer the world! This mission is really not easy!"
"Pass my order to summon commanders above the regiment level to come to the division headquarters for a meeting."
Since the Southern Incident, N4A has made major adjustments in its troop organization.
Currently, there are seven French infantry divisions with three brigades and nine regiments in the entire army, with a total main force of 160,000 troops.
Different from the original timeline, the current fourth master has not experienced elite troops and simplified administration. Each main force group is an elite with strong martial arts and ready to fight.
However, the above-mentioned troops are not without their shortcomings.
Due to the lack of direct air force and large-caliber barrel guns, the divisions' ability to attack difficult tasks and their strength in field encounters are slightly insufficient. Once there is a firefight with Japanese division-level units on open terrain such as plains, it will be difficult to control casualties.
There is no way, the border area has not yet fully grasped the Longhai Line, and airlift alone cannot solve the fear of insufficient firepower for hundreds of thousands of troops.
Qualified pilots often require a long training cycle. Even if aviation schools in various places recruit students to inject blood into the Air Force, it will be difficult to form two more divisions in a short period of time.
This is why 502 is worried. For a battle-level commander who loves his soldiers as his own children, he really doesn't want the soldiers to fight against the triple pressure of land, sea and air unless there is a critical moment of last resort.
Just as everyone was deep in thought, a voice with a strong Sichuan dialect suddenly came in from the door of the conference room.
"The heroic spirit penetrates the sun and the moon, and the heroic wind moves the earth."
"The Japanese Twelfth Army in Lu Province is already a grasshopper after the fall. Unless the main force of the combined fleet and the Kwantung Army come to the rescue at the same time, even the locusts will not be able to save them."
"In my name, prepare a reply saying that the Central Soviet Military Region will arrive at the target area on time and strive to create a more favorable situation for the Shandong Province Campaign!"
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw a man wearing sunglasses walking into the combat conference room with a determined expression. The visitor is none other than TG's only armored combat master among the Awakening Tigers: 501!
Seeing that their commander-in-chief came to the scene in person, the comrades stood at attention and saluted, and gave up the chief seats in the room.
After sitting down, the armored combat master first drew a transportation line on the map with a pencil, and then explained in a relaxed tone:
"As for the orders in the border area, I know your concerns. They are just worried that the troops will run into the enemy's 32nd and 59th Divisions head-on, right?"
"Don't worry, whatever the Soviet Central Military Region can think of, the Border Region and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters will naturally not miss."
"In order to strengthen the firepower and attack capabilities of the First Division, I specially asked Lao Xu to transfer a field artillery regiment, a self-propelled rocket launcher regiment, an armored company and an anti-aircraft artillery company from Henan Province."
"How's it going? Now you feel more at ease. Seven main regiments can't take over the world, so how about seven-step second artillery plus a support company?"
Hearing this, all the comrades present were overjoyed.
Especially Brigadier Di, who had a bright smile on his handsome face.
When the battle officially begins, the first brigade will most likely be the vanguard of the large offensive. By then, he will also be able to experience the intensity of support at the level of artillery fire coverage.
As a soldier, who doesn't like big and thick cannons?
The soldiers had been envious of the Eighth Route Army's firepower for a long time.
"Hey, you have to be foresighted. I don't want the hundred heavy machine guns from last time. But you should consider me when choosing the main attack force."
Brigadier Di's self-recommendation immediately made the armored combat master interested. Considering that the other party had a complete intelligence network, he thought for a moment and responded:
"Okay, anyway, your brigade has the strongest combat effectiveness among the first division, so there is no problem in letting you focus the attack."
"But this decision has nothing to do with those hundred heavy machine guns. You are not Li Yunlong, and I am not a CG. We at N4A do not engage in telecommunications fraud."
"Haha, okay! Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" (End of Chapter)
