Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

After careful consideration, the General Staff of the Chinese Army chose Qingdao Port and Qinhuangdao as the main targets of attack, and used Qingdao Port as a base to attack the Shandong region. Using the port of Qinhuangdao as a base, cut off the retreat of the Allied forces, and attacked Beijing and Tianjin.

Compared with sea transportation, the rivers and muddy roads in the Jianghuai region in the rainy season, and the rugged and complex terrain in the Dabie Mountains are not suitable for the logistical supply of large-scale troops in the absence of railways. On the contrary, sea transportation is low in cost and high in efficiency, and in the case of gaining sea supremacy, sea routes have become the first choice of the Chinese army.

Moreover, the main forces of the Allied forces were concentrated in the plain area from the Yellow River to Beijing and Tianjin, and as long as the road from Beijing and Tianjin in the north to the northeast was cut off, the retreat route of the Allied forces could be completely blocked. The advantage of starting the offensive from Qingdao was that the Shandong region was relatively arid, the road traffic was good, and it was able to avoid the well-defended Yellow River defense line and directly attack the waist and abdomen of the Allied army.

After returning to Qingdao, which had left the motherland for many years, the people and soldiers found that it had become a huge military camp before they had time to feel the warmth of the motherland. After the Second Marine Division led by Cai Songpo took over Qingdao, it immediately built military camps, material storage bases, and other facilities in order to prepare for the arrival of the follow-up army. In addition, relying on the outer fortifications built by the Germans and the massive amount of reinforced concrete transported from the rear, the Second Marine Division built four solid fortresses on the land side of Qingdao, forming a state of confrontation with the First Army of the Japanese North China Group Army headquartered in Weifang.

In addition, the Jiaodong area east of Qingdao was taken over by the Chinese army at the same time, and the Japanese army seemed to have expected the Chinese army to attack the hinterland of Shandong from Qingdao and force the local people to build fortifications, but in the absence of reinforced concrete materials, they were only stone fortresses. The level of defense is questionable.

Beginning on the 15th, the Chinese reconnaissance planes often appeared in the sky of the defensive positions of the Japanese First Army, and these arrogant planes usually carried out reconnaissance missions in the form of a two-plane formation, and sometimes they would dive into the Japanese soldiers on the low-altitude strafing positions, which made people very annoying. In the long run, not only will the deployment of troops be clearly understood, but the most important artillery positions and logistics storage warehouses will also be found. After the start of the battle, it will be at an absolute disadvantage.

The Japanese army devised a number of ways to deal with the reconnaissance of the Chinese planes, such as modifying the heavy machine guns and placing them on the possible flight paths of the Chinese reconnaissance planes, and waiting for them to fire together when they dived at low altitudes. It is a pity that in the first actual battle, although it hit a reconnaissance plane of the Chinese army, it did not shoot it down, and the wounded plane flew back to the airport crookedly, and no dive reconnaissance plane was found after that.

The heavy machine gun was not a professional anti-aircraft weapon, and it could not cope with reconnaissance planes at an altitude of several thousand meters, so the upper echelons of the First Army changed their tactics and adopted the method of active reconnaissance. At least know yourself and your opponent. Our situation was grasped by the Chinese army, so we also had to know the specific deployment of the Chinese army, so a large number of scouts disguised as Han civilians entered the control of the Chinese army, and some traitors who defected to the Japanese army also became a member of the scouts.

"Report to the division commander, the headquarters is in an emergency!" A jeep was parked outside, and the signal soldier in a raincoat entered the room and took out a document bag from his arms, turned out a document and handed it to Cai Songpo.

This is Jiaozhou County at the northwest end of Jiaozhou Bay, the center point of the Jiaozhou Bay defense circle. It was also at the forefront of the 2nd Marine Division and the 1st Army of the Japanese Army. The battle between the reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance of the two sides has begun for more than a day, and Cai Songpo set out from Qingdao City yesterday. He inspected the deployment along the Jiaozhou Bay, went to Huangdao via Jiaozhou, and just returned from Huangdao today to Jiaozhou, where he was ready to have dinner at the headquarters of the Third Infantry Regiment stationed here.

Looking at the document marked with the word "top secret", Cai Songpo didn't open it at the first time, turned his head and said to the head of the third regiment who was eating and reporting beside him: "Wait a minute." Then he walked out of the regimental headquarters.

Five minutes later, Cai Songpo instructed the 3rd Infantry Regiment to expand the reconnaissance area. It is best to keep the Japanese spies near Gaomi County, and then take a jeep to rush back to the headquarters of the 2nd Marine Division in Qingdao City in the rain.

After waiting in Qingdao for more than three months, the General Headquarters finally waited for this day, and the General Headquarters mobilized the Second Army to land in Qingdao and launch the Shandong Campaign. This secret telegram is to ask himself to do a good job of secrecy in the Jiaozhou Bay area and to welcome the landing of the Second Army. Although preparations had already begun, the Japanese must not be allowed to discover the exact time of the landing of the Second Army. After returning to Qingdao, Cai Songpo ordered martial law in the urban area and blockaded the port area, and at about one o'clock in the afternoon of the 17th, the transport fleet docked, which meant that the Shandong campaign entered the final countdown.

If the arrangements and arrangements of the various group armies of the General Staff were known to the middle and lower-ranking officers, they would certainly arouse some dissatisfaction, because the First Army and the Second Army of the First Group Army took part in the war against Japan in a complete way, and the Fourth Army completed the battle to recover Taiwan and Hong Kong on its own. Now handing over the battle in the main direction of attack to the First Army and the Marine Corps again will definitely dissatisfy the middle and lower-ranking officers of other units of the Army, and no matter how much those officers also need combat merits to be promoted, let the First Army snatch them, right?

There is no way, the First Army and the Second Army are the first troops to carry out mechanized reorganization, which are most suitable for fighting on the flat North China Plain, and have the strongest combat effectiveness, which can satisfy the desire of the General Staff to end the battle as soon as possible. However, the Second Group Army in the Henan Theater and the Third Army in the Xuzhou Station Area were not without opportunities to give play, and the Allied Army's more than 600,000 troops could not be solved by relying solely on the First Army and the Second Army plus two marine divisions.

The Second Army, armed to the teeth, was a formidable offensive force, and Liu Fugui, a corporal of the armored reconnaissance battalion of the Third Division of the Second Army, was one of them, and four of the eleven soldiers of the seventh squad of the third company of the armored reconnaissance battalion to which he belonged were ordinary people who had fled from Shandong to the south of the Yangtze River. After joining the army, he became literate, trained, and fought, and he seemed to have forgotten that memory, and he resurfaced in his mind from the moment he set foot on the land of Shandong.

Fortunately, Liu Fugui is not a literary and artistic youth, he just thinks of his family who died when he fled, and he is a little sad. Perhaps the dizziness caused by the turbulence of the ship on the sea also played a role in this, and looking at the comrades around me, they were more or less tired. Tightening the backpack and equipment behind him, Liu Fugui followed the troops on foot, waited for half an hour, and then climbed into the truck with his comrades and drove into the barracks that had been prepared.

After running 10,000 meters in the morning, he was lucky enough to catch up with the sea crabs boiled in the canteen, and after a big meal, he shot and trained tactics in the morning, and in the afternoon because of the lack of training grounds, he carried out cultural study, and held a basketball game before dinner as a recreational activity. In the evening, the company commander ordered to rest early, although he did not elaborate, but Liu Fugui knew that the battle should start tomorrow.

At five o'clock in the morning of the third day, the whistle of the assembly sounded throughout the barracks, and ten minutes later, all the officers and men of the third company of the armored reconnaissance battalion had assembled, distributed ammunition, boarded trucks, half-tracked armored vehicles, jeeps, and other vehicles, and then set off with the armored reconnaissance battalion. The first three T01 tanks started the engine, and Liu Fugui, who heard the sound of the tank, was envious.

"Fugui, do you want to drive a tank again?" Wu Shaogeng, a comrade-in-arms in the same class and a machine gunner, joked that this young master soldier from the big city of Shanghai is a ruthless character, the machine gun is accurate and ruthless, and the murderous little devil is very quick and full of evil spirit, and he is well-informed.

Liu Fugui knew that Wu Shaogeng had no malicious intentions, and replied with a smile: "What do you know, after the tank soldiers are demobilized, they can drive tractors, forklifts, excavators, and bulldozers, and it is easy to find a job." ”

"Then it's better to go directly to the engineering battalion, there are a lot of engineering vehicles in it, so you can drive enough!"

"Wu Shaogeng, what are you doing after you are demobilized?" Gradually, more comrades-in-arms joined the chat, and used chat to relieve the tension before the battle, which is the unspoken rule of Class 7.

"Find a rich woman to marry, and you will have no worries about food and clothing from now on!" Not to mention, Wu Shaogeng does have the potential to be a little white face, if he doesn't often release amazing evil energy.

Liu Fugui sneered: "It's better to find a rural mother-in-law, who is obedient and capable, and can take the initiative to warm your quilt at night, and you don't need to accompany him to go shopping during the day." ”

Dong Jian, another corporal who wiped the barrel of the gun, said with a smile: "Don't think about J-B, we big-headed soldiers who kill people without blinking, don't go down to other people's families after marrying other girls, rich and noble, don't you have the habit of having nightmares at night, and when you sleep again, you still wave your bayonet around, which girl dares to marry you!" ”

After Dong Jian finished speaking, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, and who has no snacks to worry about, and if he has been a soldier for a long time and has killed too many people, there will always be some bad sequelae. Overhead, there was the sound of planes cutting through the sky, which was the air force carrying out reconnaissance and bombing missions, and perhaps the Japanese positions would be blown up by the air force after entering the battlefield, and the corpses could be easily collected at that time.

The carriage was once again dull, and after two hours it was finally possible to get out of the car, the company commander gave a hasty order, the truck returned, and the soldiers immediately entered a state of combat readiness, following the armored vehicle at the head in a combat search formation. According to the above, their company was going to capture a bridge between Jiaozhou County and Gaomi County to open the way for the advance of the armored forces.
