Chapter 408: The Great Army Gathers
The six-month period is like a streamer, and the Goryeo Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula have ushered in the cold winter of the past year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are covered with snow, and everything in heaven and earth is covered in silver.
The Yalu River Railway Bridge, which was originally destroyed by the Japanese army, has long been restored to smooth operation, and now it has become a strategic transportation artery connecting the Liaodong Peninsula and the Goryeo Peninsula.
In the past six months or so, countless quantities of ammunition, fuel, and grain have been transported from the Liaodong Peninsula and various places in the northwest to Busan, the southernmost tip of the Goryeo Peninsula, through this railway artery.
Today's Busan Military Port area has long been a mountain of grain, grass and ammunition, / pig / pig / island / novel Zhang Xinghan for this sea-crossing operation, enough for the 600,000 army to prepare enough to consume two months of oil, ammunition and grain.
Suddenly, there was a deafening whistle on the Yalu River Railway Bridge, and a locomotive roared with thick green smoke.
There are hundreds of wagons in the back, all of which are open wagons used to pull coal and other materials.
However, this time, these train wagons were not loaded with the mountains of ammunition and materials, but the last group of soldiers of the Northeast Frontier Army who went to the front line.
When I got closer, I saw that the carriages were crowded with heavily armed Northeast Frontier Army soldiers, the rifles they were carrying behind their backs, the bayonets with shiny handles, and that
A steel helmet reflects a dazzling light under the sunlight, and the front of the steel helmet is printed with a dazzling blue sky and white sun emblem.
The young faces under the steel helmet were full of fortitude, and the eyes were full of scorching belligerence.
Because Zhang Xinghan planned to fight against the Japanese without declaring war this time, for the sake of secrecy, the Chinese people did not know about the upcoming cross-sea expedition of the Northeast Frontier Army.
Therefore, the 600,000 officers and men of the army, navy, and air force did not have the joy of their fathers and elders in their hometowns, and countless officers and men did not even have the opportunity to say goodbye to their relatives.
However, the soldiers did not feel any sadness and sadness about this, because in their eyes, as a Chinese man, a Chinese soldier. I am fortunate to be able to participate in this great historical crusade, even if I die in battle, I have no regrets!
………………
In Busan, the former headquarters of the 106th Division under the First Army has now been temporarily changed to the former enemy headquarters of the Northeast Frontier Army.
In the headquarters, the stars gathered, and Wang Yizhe, commander of the First Group Army, and Zhao Zhenfan, commander of the Fourth Group Army, together with the commanders of various divisions under their command, gathered together.
A young and handsome officer, dressed in an army general's uniform, with a calm gaze, stood at the head of everyone, and it was Zhang Xinghan, the current commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Army.
Behind him, Guo Zhong, the commander of the guard battalion, and Shen Xingye, the director of the Secret Bureau, stood like two javelins, and on the left stood Jiang Baili, the chief of staff.
As early as four hours earlier, Zhang Xinghan had arrived in Seoul with Guo Zhong and Shen Xingye under the escort of the air force, where he had joined Zhao Zhenfan, commander of the Fourth Army, Jiang Baili, chief of the General Staff, and Wang Yizhe, commander of the First Army, who had led his troops into Korea a few days earlier. They rushed to Busan, where the army was gathered.
Zhang Xinghan's gaze slowly swept over the subordinates present, and asked Jiang Baili on the left, "Chief of Staff, when will the troops be able to complete the assembly?" ”
"Your Majesty, the main forces of our two major army groups have basically been assembled in place, and the last two integrated divisions have already entered the territory of Goryeo, and they will be able to arrive tomorrow afternoon at the latest.
As for the air force and navy, with the exception of a few remaining as a necessary deterrent force in the border defense areas, the main forces have already gathered at the Busan military port and airport.
The Navy's Jiaolong Task Force had already blocked the entire Tsushima Strait and tightly sealed the news of our troops' build-up. Jiang Baili immediately replied respectfully.
Zhang Xinghan nodded in satisfaction. The Jiaolong Task Force has been expanded into regiments, and in the past six months or so, they have expanded from the original fifty XXI submarines to eighty. Stronger.
The reason why the Jiaolong Task Force was able to complete the expansion of nearly double its size in such a short period of time was that the thousands of sailors of the first fifty submarines had accumulated considerable experience in naval warfare.
With them as the backbone, the recruits who have just been trained can quickly complete the formation and form combat effectiveness.
In addition to the underwater submarine forces of the Navy. The strength of the surface troops of the Northeast Frontier Army has also improved, and Zhang Xinghan passed Alice in order to ensure that the crusade could end in victory. The policy of using carrots and sticks made Ives and other British Yankees join the navy as backbones and work together to help the Northeast Navy fight.
With their help, the strength of the navy will be greatly improved, especially some rookie sailors who have just joined the army for a long time, will receive great help.
"You have worked hard to transfer troops and send generals in the past few days, today everyone will go and have a good night's rest for the time being, and tomorrow when all our troops are assembled, we will immediately launch the campaign of crossing the sea to the east." Zhang Xinghan commanded everyone.
"Yes!" Everyone responded violently, and immediately dispersed, only Jiang Baili, Zhao Zhenfan and Wang Yizhe stayed.
After everyone left, Wang Yizhe looked at Zhang Xinghan and said, "General seat, I don't know which unit will be used as the vanguard tomorrow?" ”
Zhang Xinghan blurted out: "The 106th Division is the vanguard, the 107th and 117th Divisions are covered, and the three divisions are personally led by Wang Tiehan, commander and deputy commander of the 106th Division, under the cover of the Navy and Air Force, as the first batch of landing troops, to carry out a beachfront landing on Kyushu Island, Japan!" ”
"Let Lao Wang personally lead the team to attack?" Wang Yizhe and Zhao Zhenfan were a little surprised, and they were both stunned.
Zhang Xinghan nodded seriously and said: "Yes, let Deputy Commander Wang personally lead the team, in the past, when the 918 Incident occurred, the first Japanese invaders to attack was the defense area of our 620th Regiment. ”
The two thought about it for a while, and nodded their heads in praise.
The specific battle plan Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others had already discussed it countless times in the past six months, and it had already been finalized, so they were speechless all night.
In the afternoon of the next day, trains and automobiles of more than 60,000 soldiers of the last two reorganization divisions arrived in Busan.
At this point, the more than 600,000 navy, army, and air force of the Northeast Frontier Army have all been assembled, and the area around Pusan is full of officers and men of the Northeast Frontier Army, as well as the tanks and combat vehicles they drive, and fighter planes whizz past the air from time to time.
In the general headquarters, everyone gathered, Zhang Xinghan's eyes turned to Wang Tiehan, who was on Wang Yizhe's side, and said in a dignified voice: "Deputy Commander Wang!" ”
"Humble duty!" Wang Tiehan immediately responded.
"After the commander-in-chief has studied and decided, he has ordered your unit to be the vanguard of this sea-crossing landing, and you yourself will be the commander-in-chief of the first batch of landing troops, I hope that you can calmly command the troops, excellently complete this combat mission, open a breakthrough for our main follow-up troops, and complete the beach-grabbing landing operation, do you have confidence?" Zhang Xinghan asked.
"The humble post must lead the soldiers of the three armies to move forward bravely, and if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, and you will swear to land on Kyushu Island!" Wang Tiehan's eyes became hot in an instant, and he shouted loudly. (To be continued......)
