At this time, General Wang Geng, who was sitting next to him, suddenly leaned over and said with a smile, "What is the specific matter, no one really knows." However, "

"Huh?" Zhang Zhonglin and Hu Conglu's eyes lit up at the same time, and they hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”

General Wang Geng whispered mysteriously, "I only know that the commander-in-chief of Lu Dao has come and stayed with those guys from the staff department for a day. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Zhonglin and Hu Conglu looked at each other. Zhang Zhonglin frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "The commander-in-chief has so many things to deal with every day, and he just came here some time ago. Why is it coming back now? Is there something big going on? ”

"Who knows?" General Wang Geng shrugged his shoulders and said in a low voice.

"Forget it, let's not guess. What is going on, we will know when the commander-in-chief comes over. Hu Conglu smiled and said.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. As soon as Hu Conglu's words fell, the wide door of the auditorium was pushed open from the outside. Dressed in a military uniform, with a heroic posture, Gao Yang strode in with a strong aura.

"Huh!" With a bang, many senior commanders in the auditorium hurriedly stood up, saluted, and watched Gao Yang walk onto the rostrum.

Wei Ke, Zhang Xinghai, and the officers of the General Staff who followed behind Gao Yang sat down separately. Gao Yang stood on the stage, his gaze sweeping over the many commanders in the room. Nodding slightly, he casually returned a military salute.

"Sit down." Gao Yang whispered and sat down. After Gao Yang sat down, the officers in the room withdrew their arms and sat down.

Gao Yang looked at the bright generals below, and a flash of brilliance flashed in his eyes. Reaching out and tapping lightly on the table. The venue was instantly silent, and a pin drop could be heard.

"I've called you all here this time because I have something to announce." Gao Yang coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "I decided to start the Polaris battle plan in advance!" Gao Yang's quiet voice echoed in the quiet auditorium, surprising everyone who heard it.

The many commanders in the audience all looked surprised, puzzled, and puzzled. It's just, because it's in front of Gao Yang now. They didn't make any sound, but the changes in the expressions on their faces fell on Gao Yang's eyes.

Gao Yang knew in his heart that it was not appropriate to launch an attack in advance under the current weather conditions. It's not just that it's freezing and it's inaccessible. Another difficulty is that the pre-war preparations have not yet been completed.

Originally, it was planned to start military operations after the temperature warmed up in the beginning of spring. Therefore, the preparation of various materials necessary for cold weather operations, such as antifreeze gun oil, lubricants, insulation and preheating equipment for heavy weapons, snow chains for various vehicles, etc., is not sufficient.

Moreover, there are still quite a few officers and soldiers who are on vacation and have not yet returned to the team. All kinds of supplies on the front line can only support high-intensity operations for a maximum of three months.

Originally, it was planned to stock up on more supplies in the next month, but now it is necessary to transport important cold-weather combat necessities first, and the transportation of conventional materials will be temporarily slowed down. Now, all the plans were disrupted.

And. Adverse weather conditions can also lead to weakened battlefield support from the Air Force and Navy, reducing combat effectiveness.

When Gao Yang first proposed this plan, Weix was extremely opposed. For the Germans, accustomed to strictly following detailed plans of all kinds, such an order to attack in advance was completely unacceptable.

Not only Weix, but all the officers of the staff did not agree with Gao Yang's plan to attack in advance.

Gao Yang couldn't explain to them that he needed time and that he had to go to war immediately to earn more energy points. In cases where it is impossible to convince, it can only be enforced by command.

After leveling the staff and having them revise their battle plans, Gao Yang immediately summoned all the front-line commanders. Be ready to give them orders personally.

After all, such a thing would certainly be unanimously opposed by the front-line commanders. In order to avoid trouble, Gao Yang had no choice but to use his prestige to issue this order.

Now it seems that the situation is not bad. Although the commanders all had inexplicable expressions on their faces. However, no one dared to speak out against it in front of Gao Yang.

Gao Yang nodded slightly, satisfied with the performance of the commanders. Picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said indifferently, "This is an order." It must be carried out, the reasons are not explained, and the questions are not answered. The specific operational plan is announced by the General Staff. ”

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he turned his attention to Colonel Zhang Xinghai, who was sitting in the audience.

Colonel Zhang Xinghai, a staff officer of the Operations Section of the General Staff, immediately stood up. Step in front of a huge battle map.

Picking up the baton on the side and pointing to the map, Lang Sheng said, "I hereby order that the Vladivostok attack cluster start artillery preparations at 5:20 a.m. three days later, and the first-line troops will launch an attack at 8:20 a.m. The first objective is the twin cities, and the estimated combat time is to occupy the twin cities within forty-eight hours. After that, the attack cluster will attack Vladivostok with all its might! ”

The baton in Zhang Xinghai's hand struck heavily on the point of Vladivostok on the map. "When the Vladivostok attack is launched, it will be supported by fire from air force aviation units and naval battlefleets. Estimated duration of operations, ten days. ”

"Wow~~~" As soon as Zhang Xinghai's words fell, the officers in the audience made an uproar.

Gao Yang, who was holding the teacup, frowned slightly, reached out and knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice, "If you have an opinion, just say it, don't shout!" ”

The hustle and bustle of the audience suddenly fell silent. Immediately, General Brandt, the commander of the Vladivostok attack cluster, stood up, and after saluting Gao Yang, he said, "Sir, will the time be too short?" Ten days to capture the first fortress in the Far East? Vladivostok is the most important base of polar bears in the Pacific Ocean and is one of the strongest coastal forts in the world. ”

Brandt, who looked a little excited, continued: "The polar bears have built forts No. 1-7 and forts A, E, ZH and Z on the southern shore of the Suifen River basin from Shuangchengzi to Amursky Bay, and forts No. 9-12 on the south and east shores of Russky Island, as well as coastal forts and anti-landing covered passages, including many well-set bunkers and underground passages. ”

"The fortress was fortified with a variety of fortifications. In addition to the construction of a large number of breastworks, a number of ground fortifications were built at the front of the moat, including support points, underground passages, and shelters. The forward positions were excavated in the ground rock using steam drills and rock drills, during which some gentle slopes were filled. Most of the underground fortifications in the forward positions have passages leading to the surface at the rear doors, and are connected to each other by covered passages at the rear. In addition, the second and third positions were constructed along the second river valley. ”

Brandt said a lot of information about what he knew in one breath, and after taking a breath, he continued: "The enemy has deployed more than forty heavy guns of more than 150 mm caliber in the concrete fortifications of this strong fortress! According to current intelligence, the number of defending troops inside the fortress has exceeded 40,000! And that's not even counting the very likely reinforcements, as well as the number of enemy troops that will enter the fortress after the battle! ”

Brandt concluded, "Sir, I don't think it is possible to take this fortified fortress in ten days. The best way for us to do this is to surround it and cut off all connection between this fortress and the outside world. Until they surrender. ”

Gao Yang waved his hand, motioned for Brandt to sit down, turned his head to look at Zhang Xinghai, and asked, "What did the staff say?" ”

Zhang Xinghai knocked on the baton in his hand expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice: "First of all, if the encirclement combat method is used, it will have a great impact on our army's follow-up operations. This fortress will contain a large number of troops, which will cause subsequent attacks to be delayed due to lack of troops, which is not allowed! ”

After coughing lightly, he stretched out his hand and slammed it on the map, and said in a deep voice, "The operational plan of the General Staff is not to occupy Vladivostok, but to destroy it!" ”

"Tell me more about it." Gao Yang picked up the teacup and said softly.

"Yes, sir." Zhang Xinghai bowed slightly to Gao Yang, and then said, "We can't waste time here in Vladivostok. Capturing this fortress would not only require a large number of troops, but would also delay the planning of subsequent battles. So, the General Staff planned to wipe the fortress off the map with the large-caliber artillery of the main fleet of the Navy and the bombshells carried by the Air Force dive bombers! ”

"According to the information received from various sources, all the fortifications of the Vladivostok fortress could not withstand the attacks of these large-caliber shells and bombshells. And, most importantly, we have obtained the exact coordinates of all the fortifications of Vladivostok Fortress! Zhang Xinghai's words made the audience noisy again.

"Are you sure? Can intelligence really get the exact coordinates of all the fortifications in Vladivostok? The commander of the 11th Mechanized Infantry Division, Lieutenant General Liu Changzai, stood up and asked with a face full of disbelief.

"I'm sure!" Zhang Xinghai said in a firm tone, and after speaking, he quietly glanced at Gao Yang, who was sitting on the rostrum with a teacup, and said in a deep voice, "This is the information provided by Commander-in-Chief Gao personally!" ”

Now everyone stopped talking. No one doubts the correctness of the information provided by Gao Yang.

Gao Yang also did not give random information in order to carry out operational planning in advance. Before leaving last time, Gao Yang sent the unmanned reconnaissance plane out of Lu to do reconnaissance. Laser-guided, infrared imaging. Intelligence, which is very difficult to obtain in this era, has no difficulty in the face of high-tech reconnaissance means.

Gao Yang gently turned the teacup and said in a low voice, "Go on." ”

Zhang Xinghai nodded slightly, and continued: "The enemy army has no sea strength. The main fleet of the Navy, under the guidance of the Air Force school firing aircraft, will carry out targeted killings of the fortifications of the Vladivostok fortress. The Air Force's dive bombers have a higher accuracy of hitting! Ten days, enough to raze this fortress to the ground! This is already a well-considered timeline. ”

Zhang Xinghai's loud words made the officers in the audience immediately excited. In this day and age, it was a very, very honorable thing to capture a fort of great fame!

In Germany's military history, commanders who commanded the capture of an important fortress of great repute were usually awarded the rank of marshal!

Now the commanders of the Vladivostok attack cluster were all excited. Even if you can't be a marshal, the great honor of capturing the fortress of Vladivostok will have its own name, right? (To be continued......)
