Age of Rebirth

If it was before, Han Tie would not be entangled in the use of tanks and heavy artillery. The Marine Corps is not just a force that relies on heavy equipment to fight. But last night, the casualties encountered by the Fourth Brigade made him have to Be vigilant, do you still have the capital to launch the unconventional combat methods of the little devil?More than 4 cannon fodder were sent out, how much is left in the hands of the little devil commander?

With the most ferocious firepower, covering the Japanese army's positions in all directions, without leaving a single blind spot, completely destroying the Japanese army's positions, including those little devils' body bombs, will be wiped out under the cover of firepower, and cannot pose a threat to the attacking troops. This is Han Ironically, the principle of this attack, but judging from the current situation, tanks cannot be used on a large scale, heavy artillery cannot be used, and it is difficult to achieve the goal only by relying on the Marine Corps itself.

Han Tie raised his head, apparently having made a decision, "Order your radio station to immediately contact the Air Force Qingdao Ground Air Commander, and go directly to Commander Liu!" He said to Jiang Xianliang.

Soon, Han Tie's telegram came directly to Liu Cuigang, "Brother Cuigang, the marines encountered practical difficulties when they attacked the Liaodong Peninsula. Before the battle started, the effect of the fire strike was extremely unsatisfactory. My opinion is whether the aviation headquarters can consider, on the basis of the original air fire support, more than doubling the number of bombers. "

Liu Cuigang pondered. To be honest, Han Tie’s request was a bit too much, and it also made him embarrassed. The southern and northern lines launched attacks at the same time, and the air force was divided into two. Moreover, the southern line’s Korean peninsula direction .The spread of the battlefield is bigger, and it is the object of the emphasis of the aviation fleet.

So far, the fighting in the direction of Incheon, Gunsan, and Mokpo is still going on, especially in the direction of Mokpo, where the fighting is particularly fierce. After the successful landing, the Southeast Mobile Corps encountered tenacious resistance from the Japanese army when it advanced deep into the Korean peninsula. More air support is needed.

and.The fleet responsible for air fire support on the Korean Peninsula, as well as the Japanese land-based air force that is always on guard against takeoffs from the Japanese mainland, have not taken down the port of Incheon, and the aviation force will not be able to gain a foothold on the Korean Peninsula, and the efficiency of combat aircraft use.Being greatly restricted, the plane cannot always fly in the air.Still need to land and refuel.Replenishment of ammunition, therefore, can only adopt the tactics of taking off in batches to keep the firepower in the air uninterrupted.

But Liu Cuigang knew in his heart that if Han Tie hadn't encountered great difficulties, he would not have crossed the Trans-Hai Campaign Command.Asking for help directly, this is the way of old brother's feelings. After thinking about it, Liu Cuigang decided to help Han Tie.Again, it was based on the feelings of the old brother, but this matter had to be discussed with Le Yiqin.

Le Yiqin, who is in command of the airspace of the Korean Peninsula, said, "Yiqin, there is a problem. Hantie's attack on the northern line has encountered some troubles. Due to the limited terrain conditions, it is impossible to use tanks and heavy artillery on a large scale. , I request our air force to increase the number of bombers on the northern front, at least double the original amount. What's your opinion? Let me tell you first, Han Tie did not go through the cross-sea campaign command, and directly proposed it to me ask!"

Le Yiqin, who was flying a fighter plane circling at high altitude, did not hesitate at all, "Cui Gang, Han Tie is in trouble, we must help, now on the ground battlefield on the Korean peninsula, only the direction of Mokpo is fighting fiercely, and air power cannot be used In the other two directions, the battle is basically coming to an end. I concentrated most of the combat aircraft in the airspace of the Korean peninsula to guard against the fighters from the mainland. In this way, I will add three bomber regiments to Hantie, How about it? You just look at the arrangement, I have no objection!"

As soon as Liu Cui smiled, he knew that Le Yiqin must have answered in this way, but the old man must know about it. Although commanding all aviation fleets does not need to be approved by the Trans-sea Campaign Command, Liu Cuigang did not intend to report it. , but you must let the old man know about it.

Liu Cuigang said to the communications staff officer: "Call Commander Han of the Marine Corps immediately. Brother Han, add three bomber regiments to the existing air power on the northern front. Please let us know the specific time when the battle will start!"

When the telegram was in Han Tie's hands, he happily slapped the shell box, "It's still an old man, it's interesting! Add three bomber regiments, nearly a hundred bombers, enough for a kid to drink a pot, call Commander Liu back, Our department is scheduled to launch an attack on the Japanese positions at [-] o'clock this morning, and at the same time, the ground-air contact has been established to provide bombing targets for the fleet at any time and report the bombing effect!"

Then, he said to Jiang Xianliang, the commander of the sixth brigade: "If the heavy artillery can't come up, then all the light artillery, especially the mortars, should be gathered up. I'll transfer all the mortars of the seventh brigade to the You, there are more than 500 mortars in total, but you can boom, don’t be stingy with shells, bombs in the sky, shells on the ground, even if the little devil plays tricks, he will lose his temper, I warn you in advance , Jiang Xianliang, carefully organize the attack, if the Sixth Brigade suffers too many casualties, you will be punished!" He said seriously.

Jiang Xianliang grinned happily from ear to ear, and replied confidently: "Don't worry, Commander, after the bombing and shelling is over, there will be no living people left on the little devil's position, so the sky and the earth can't withstand such an explosion! My plan is to use a small amount of troops, no more than one battalion, to conduct a tentative attack under the cover of tanks after the offensive begins. If the artillery of the little devils is not destroyed, the target will also be exposed. Our bombers Another round of bombing will be enough, as for the little devil's infantry, there are hundreds of mortars to take care of it!"

Han Tie was happy, and said: "Well, the tactics are arranged properly. With such terrain conditions, no matter how many troops go up, they will not be able to use them. On the contrary, they will become living targets for little devils. It's okay, just don't underestimate the enemy!"

The Sixth Brigade of the Marine Corps began to prepare nervously for the attack. In Mengdong, Kailu, and the headquarters of the North China Field Corps, Tang Qiuli put down Han Tie's second telegram, frowned and thought for a while, and said to the chief of staff Zhao Yuhe said: "Han Tie asked for punishment, as well as punishment for Huang Wanshan, the commander of the Fourth Brigade! Yuhe, what's your opinion?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Master, the heavy casualties of the Fourth Brigade are obviously caused by underestimating the enemy. The brigade commander Huang Wanshan has an unshirkable responsibility. I suggest that Huang Wanshan be dismissed as brigade commander immediately and someone else be appointed to replace him. Huang Wanshan himself can be sent to Dingbian Military Academy to study for a period of time, and Commander Han’s responsibility can be criticized in the whole army!"

Tang Qiuli sighed deeply, "Some of our commanders just think that I am the best in the world, how many victories they have won, and that after the Japanese Seventh Army in the Liaodong Peninsula was completely annihilated, the Japanese army did not have heavy troops and the battles were easy to fight. I guess this is the case. In terms of the situation, this point was specifically mentioned in the telegram, but the problem still appeared, and it really happened to the Japanese armed civilian, there are more than 4 people, and Nanjiro is already crazy!"

"Han Tie's second telegram must have been received by the Crossing the Sea Campaign Headquarters. My opinion is that if the division commander does not come up with a handling opinion or interfere with the decision of the Crossing the Sea Campaign Headquarters, let Commander Tang handle it! Try your best to deal with this matter. The scope is reduced to the scope of the cross-sea campaign troops! I believe that Commander Tang will handle this matter properly!"

"Crack!" Tang Qiuquan slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily: "This is an unforgivable mistake. That Huang Wanshan underestimated the enemy, especially when it was particularly emphasized in the teacher's telegram, it was even more unforgivable. Huang Wanshan's responsibility , must not let it go, we need to remind the troops!"

"Send a report to Han Tie, Huang Wanshan, commander of the [-]th Brigade of the Marine Corps, because he carelessly underestimated the enemy and ignored the orders of his superiors, which caused heavy losses to the troops. Brigadier, after the battle is over, we will deal with it, and the rank will be reduced to colonel. Han Tie, the commander of the Marine Corps, supervises his subordinates to be unfavorable and bears the command responsibility. He will report criticism to the whole army and withhold half a year's allowance! The results of the processing will be reported to the division refer to!"

Rear Admiral Xin Xiguo, chief of staff of the fleet, felt that the commander's punishment was too harsh. Huang Wanshan was dismissed and demoted in rank. Han Tie warned him with a fine. Will it affect the morale of the troops fighting in the Liaodong Peninsula?Will this cause the commander to be tied up in the ensuing battle?All aspects of influence ah!

"Commander, my opinion is whether to wait until the end of the Liaodong Peninsula campaign before making a decision on punishment, and whether the punishment is too severe, we have to take into account the feelings of Commander Hantie, or listen to the teacher's instructions Opinions are good! Don't affect the morale of the troops!" Xin Xiguo said bluntly, following Tang Qiuquan for many years, he has developed this habit.

Tang Qiuquan raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Chief of staff, you have been with me for a long time, and you still don't know my temper. For such a commander who takes the lives of soldiers so seriously, he has no intention of shooting him. Yes, face? Feelings? It is important to have the lives of soldiers? The master must have received this telegram, without any instructions, it is handed over to the cross-sea campaign headquarters to handle it with full authority!"

"If the morale of the Marine Corps is low because of this incident, I think highly of Han Tie and his soldiers, Xi Guo, some things cannot be accommodated, especially when it comes to the lives of soldiers! Must be serious Deal with it, and let all the commanders know that they have no right to cause soldiers to lose their lives because of their own reasons!"

Xin Xiguo was silent, and withdrew after saluting. Tang Qiuquan still had an angry look in his eyes.
