Meihe area, Qiongya Independent Team Headquarters.
After explaining the headquarters' combat plan in a few words, Li Yunlong took out a slightly trendy document from his breast pocket.
This is the list of weapons for the first wave of assistance. It records the types and specific quantities of the materials in detail, and even the production units are clearly written.
Although he was mentally prepared in advance, Secretary Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the five-digit details.
"Huh? I'm rich?"
Secretary Feng howled suddenly, and then grabbed Lao Li's shoulders excitedly. But he quickly regained his composure and said to his colleagues worriedly:
"Brigadier Li, how do the headquarters plan to transport these light and heavy weapons on the list?"
"The Qiongzhou Strait is a key defense area for the Japanese. Now they have set up a warning network in the entire sea area, and there are also mine boats patrolling around the clock. Maritime transportation requires a lot of risks, and I'm afraid it won't be feasible."
"By the way, I have a question I never had the chance to ask. How did your 1st Marine Brigade break through the enemy's blockade and drive all the way into the central mountainous area?"
Li Yunlong and his party were not surprised by Secretary Feng's joy and questions. For no reason, it was just because this was not the first time something like this had happened.
It may be said that the recent development speed of the Eighth Route Army is indeed so rapid that it is somewhat exaggerated.
In just three years, the army not only improved the existing army system, but also established a powerful air force from scratch to dominate the Asian battlefield.
Even the navy, which was unimaginable before, is now gradually gaining combat effectiveness under the guidance of the French advisory group and can assume some coastal defense tasks.
Even those who have experienced such earth-shaking changes, such as Lao Li, will always feel incredible emotions when looking back and summarizing.
The bosses at the headquarters can't predict the future of the army, let alone a cadre like Secretary Feng who has lost contact with his superiors.
Fortunately, the three commanders of the 1st Marine Brigade came prepared. Faced with Secretary Feng's confusion, Li Yunlong first bumped his political commissar with his elbow, and then said:
"Old Zhao, take out the latest version of our Eighth Route Army's propaganda brochure. If you just say it, let Secretary Feng see the materials compiled by Xinhua News Agency."
In order to allow the comrades of the Qiongya Independent Team to connect with the outside world as soon as possible, Zhao Gang made a special trip to the headquarters before the operation began and asked the deputy general staff for an unreleased promotional brochure.
This chronicle-like book records the major and major battles that occurred from August 14, 1939 to June 14, 1942, as well as the specific development and changes of TG.
As a highly educated cadre, Secretary Feng adheres to the principle of seeing for real.
Obviously, obtaining information through a combination of pictures and text is more in line with his appetite.
"It's incredible. I never expected that the border area would undergo such huge changes in just a few years."
"Shanxi and Suizhou, plus half of Henan Province, Shandong Province, Hebei Province and Chahar. So much land, I wouldn't have dared to think about it more than ten years ago."
"Hey! The army actually even got involved in Mobei? It seems that the Karakhan Declaration that Beiyang didn't dare to sign back then, our generation finally has a chance to rewrite it!"
The first few chapters of the promotional brochure focus on TG's current sphere of influence. Each corresponding major battle is also marked in the book.
Through the words and pictures, Secretary Feng seemed to see with his own eyes the battle commanders who used their troops like gods, as well as the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy on the front line. When he saw that there was hope for the return of the land that had been seized by the imperialists in the past, he clapped his hands even more excitedly.
This situation made the three commanders of the 1st Marine Brigade smile one after another.
As for the Galahan Declaration?
They are also familiar with this matter.
At that time, Beiyang did not sign due to many reasons such as the camp. But the situation in TG is different. The border areas will definitely take back all the lands that have been left outside during this world war.
After more than half an hour of cramming, Secretary Feng managed to understand the changes that had taken place in recent years and had a general understanding of the current military capabilities of the border area.
The Eighth Route Army now not only has an air force, but also has the ability to conduct long-distance raids and bomb the enemy's homeland.
Coupled with the airport that my colleague just mentioned, the method of transporting materials from the headquarters is naturally clear: air transport.
The doubts in his mind were solved. Secretary Feng quickly took out a hand-drawn map from his drawer, and then explained to his comrades in the 1st Marine Brigade:
"The Japanese control a total of three large airports in Qiongya, namely Haikou Dayingshan Airport, Ledong Huangliu Airport, and Sanya Bay Military Port Airport."
"In terms of scale, it ranks first in Huangliu. There are not only two cross-shaped concrete runways there, but also various large-scale supporting facilities. It can be used almost as soon as you occupy it."
"Daying Mountain is the only airport currently in operation for the Japanese. According to our reconnaissance some time ago, Haikou No. 7 Base has a total of six light bombers, seven Zero fighter jets, and thirteen Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets. "
As soon as these words came out, Li, Zhao, and Xing immediately gathered around.
The three commanders looked at the map on the table and began to formulate a combat plan to attack the airport.
Secretary Feng on the side was not idle either. Although he was not familiar with the fighting style of the 1st Marine Brigade, he was familiar with the terrain and could always point out loopholes in the deployment of friendly forces.
An hour later, the first version of the plan was officially released.
The core buildings of the airport occupied or built by the Japs in Qiongya are basically outside the threat of conventional army equipment, and the military restricted area is very large.
This design is clearly meant to bully the local armed forces who do not have heavy weapons.
It's a pity that the 1st Marine Brigade is not an ordinary army. They are not only regular troops, but also the elite with the strongest comprehensive strength in the entire Republic of China.
Even in this operation, the three parachute regiments and artillery support companies did not carry 105 mm and 75 mm self-propelled artillery. But the 81mm and 120mm mortars are enough to crack the turtle shell of the Marine Corps.
After the temporary meeting, Secretary Feng immediately ordered the communications troops in the base area to notify troops at all levels to conduct investigation work and keep an eye on the Japanese who were still raiding the base area.
"Brigadier Li, our Qiongya Independent Team must participate in this mission."
"In terms of combat effectiveness, we cannot compare with the 1st Marine Brigade. However, our comrades are familiar with the terrain of each combat area and have a very good mass base, so they are definitely qualified for auxiliary work."
"Okay! I got what I asked for!" (End of this chapter)
