Chapter 1162: Disposition of force
Gao Dong jumped out of a tank and ran quickly towards the temporary headquarters of the front. Huang Youde, Hu Xinghan and others were all gathered here at this moment, and the front-line headquarters was less than three kilometers away from the front of the operation, and they were even within the range of the enemy's artillery attack.
Gao Dong walked into the headquarters, and immediately all the senior officers who were in a meeting stood up straight.
"Chief of Staff, all the officers above the division level are here. Give the order, when will the fight begin? Huang Youde asked with some excitement.
Gao Dong didn't talk nonsense, and walked directly to the sand table. The red flag represents the People's Liberation Army and the blue flag represents the Japanese army.
On the sand table, the red and blue flags faced each other in one place, separated by less than a finger's hand. Gao Dong looked at it slightly, and then at all the officers present, and then cleared his throat.
"Have the artillery of the armies been mobilized?" Gao Dong asked.
"Chief of Staff, it's all been mobilized. There are a total of three thousand six hundred and seventy artillery pieces of artillery, and they can be discharged for three kilometers just by lining them up. I divided it according to the different firepower, so as to ensure that the firepower can be uninterrupted, and the fight can be accurate and ruthless! ”
Yang Jihong, who served as the commander-in-chief of the artillery this time, said with a smile, this guy has become the general adviser of the PLA artillery unit, and he has long since stopped working in the First Army. This time, he was brought from Xi'an to let him command the entire artillery to cooperate with the infantry in battle.
Gao Dong smiled and nodded: "Don't give me a strain later, whether the infantry can rush over depends on whether you can blow up a passage for me!" ”
Yang Jihong smiled and said, "Chief of Staff, I'm your old subordinate." Don't you know how much water I have in my stomach? Don't worry, when have we ever been vague about the war! ”
"Just have your words!" Gao Dong smiled faintly at him, and then turned his head to look at He Sheng, the commander of the tank unit: "Have the tank troops been assembled?" ”
He Sheng nodded: "The tank troops have been assembled in the rear of the First Army and are ready to attack at any time!" ”
"What about self-propelled artillery units?" Gao Dong looked at Liu Yunjie, the commander of the self-propelled artillery unit.
Liu Yunjie immediately said: "We are on both flanks of the tank troops, and after the tank troops advance, we will provide them with fire support on the rear flanks to ensure the smooth passage of the tank troops." ”
"Are the armies ready?" Gao Dong looked at the various army commanders again.
"Chief of Staff, all soldiers are now sharpening their knives and going to pigs and sheep. As long as you give the order, now attack on all fronts! Hu Xinghan laughed.
"That's fine, let's order our troops to stand by." Gao Dong said with a smile.
"What? Standing still? Hu Xinghan's eyes widened, and the rest of the generals also looked at Gao Dong in puzzlement. You have been talking about feelings for a long time, and you are standing by for this sentence. Everyone's pants are off, but you don't have a follow-up?
Gao Donggang wanted to go out, but was immediately stopped by Hu Xinghan and others.
"Chief of Staff, it's not that you have no beginning or end in what you say, why are you standing still? The battle is over? Hu Xinghan asked, he was Gao Dong's old subordinate, and it was more convenient to ask than others.
Gao Dong looked at everyone's puzzled eyes, smiled and shook his head: "Who said that if you don't fight, you will definitely launch an attack today." ”
"Then you can arrange how to attack, everyone is waiting for your order like a fire in the ass. Your sentence of standing still sent us away, which makes people brainless. Anyway, you can also tell me, who is the main attacker, who is the auxiliary attacker, when will the attack? Hu Xinghan shouted.
Gao Dong patted him on the shoulder: "This operation, none of you can be the main attacker!" The main attacking troops, I have already chosen someone else! ”
"Who" almost everyone asked in unison, and they were waiting here just to get the main task. But now someone has come out on top, and curiosity makes everyone's hearts itch.
Gao Dong just wanted to speak, but Lin Fan rushed in from outside and said to Gao Dong: "It's here!" ”
Gao Dong helplessly stretched out his hands to everyone: "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, don't you want to know the main target?" Come with me now! ”
He strode out, and Hu Xinghan and the others followed. Everyone wanted to see who led the main attack force in Gao Dong's mouth. In fact, they are also angry in their hearts, wanting to see if the other party is qualified to serve as the main attacker.
The crowd parted, and along the way all the troops retreated to the sides, giving way to these high-ranking officers.
Before he could get closer, he heard the huge hum of the engine in the distance. Hu Xinghan, Huang Youde and others stood on tiptoe and vaguely saw the spinning wings. They chuckled in their hearts, and a wry smile appeared on their faces, they already knew who the main attack force Gao Dong was talking about.
Three helicopter gunships stopped on the temporarily vacated land, surrounded by PLA soldiers. Many people have not seen these three helicopters, and they have pointed at them as strange things, not knowing what this thing does.
"Sir!" The three pilots saluted Gao Dong, who came over: "It's finally time to use us, to be honest, we are about to get sick when we are stuck in the Luolong Mountain base every day!" ”
Gao Dong said with a smile: "From today onwards, there will be a time for you to carry out your mission. Don't be annoyed, I'll keep an eye on you! ”
"We can't ask for it, seeing others killing devils and killing them, but we can only sit in the rear and watch the mountains and rivers fall, not to mention how uncomfortable this grievance is. You're welcome, treat the three of us as cattle and horses, we can withstand it! The three pilots said seriously.
Gao Dong smiled and shook his head: "It's okay to use you as cattle and horses, but these three gunships are all my treasures, and I am reluctant to use them as cattle and horses!" ”
Everyone laughed, Gao Dong turned to Hu Xinghan and said, "How about it, do you have any opinions on the armed helicopter as the vanguard?" ”
Hu Xinghan and the others shook their heads with a wry smile, even the commanders of the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army, who had never seen the strength of armed helicopters, had heard of the power of armed helicopters. At this moment, he was full of wry smiles, and he could only agree with Gao Dong's opinion.
"The border area is full of bunkers, and the speed of tank impact alone is too slow. Even with artillery bombardment, the speed is not much faster! Gao Dong came to several army commanders and said.
"Only by letting a highly maneuverable and powerful gunship clear the way for us can we open a safe passage before the enemy reacts." Gao Dong said calmly.
"Chief of Staff, Commander Hu and I have both seen the strength of the helicopter gunship and know that it is indeed very strong. It's just that we only have three helicopter gunships, and they're pouring ammunition just too fast. I'm afraid that if you can't fight two kilometers, you will run out of ammunition, and it will be impossible to open up a path for the army! Huang Youde voiced his worries.
"Chief, you don't have to worry!" The three pilots said with a smile: "This time we brought logistics support troops, and a hundred military vehicles followed us, and each vehicle had a skilled loader. The convoy would follow us all the way to the front line. As many roads as we play, they move forward. As soon as we ran out of ammunition, we immediately landed, and they quickly reloaded, and then continued to bomb the Japanese positions. ”
Gao Dong nodded to everyone: "He's right, not only that, but in order to ensure their safety after landing." He Sheng led the tank unit to follow closely behind, as soon as the helicopter's fire stopped, you would immediately suppress the enemy's fire to ensure the safety of the helicopter. Self-propelled artillery units covered the attack on the flanks and rear flanks, opening a way for the smooth passage of the army! ”
"Understood!" He Sheng and Liu Yunjie roared in unison, their faces full of murderous aura.
"What about us, Chief of Staff?" Hu Xinghan and the other army commanders looked at Gao Dong pitifully.
Gao Dong laughed: "When a road is opened, naturally you infantry will go up, do you still have to ask?" The Fifth Army was responsible for clearing the Japanese forts on both sides, the First Army was responsible for following up, and the Second Army followed as a support for the First Army. ”
"As for the Sixth Army and Fang Kui's reinforced division!" Gao Dong smiled: "I still have very important arrangements, I will make arrangements after the army is fully moved!" ”
"Alright, get ready! Helicopter gunships immediately took off, convoys and tank units, as well as self-propelled artillery units, immediately followed. The first battle in Hebei will be fought by you first! Gao Dong roared angrily.
"Yes!" Everyone replied coldly, and their words were full of murderous aura.
The three pilots quickly rushed to their helicopter, and Gao Dong and the others immediately retreated backwards, watching the three helicopters slowly rise into the air.
A hundred convoys of transports parked not far away roared angrily, and slowly moved forward as the helicopter lifted into the air.
The troops along the way immediately made way for the convoy, and at the same time the tank and self-propelled artillery units also moved from the direction of the First Army, closely following the convoy, ready to attack at any moment.
The commanders of the corps rushed to their respective units in their cars. Gao Dong followed Hu Xinghan to the First Army, preparing to launch an attack on the Hebei bandit army with the First Army first.
At the same time, he was in the 1st Army, which was also convenient for commanding all troops to attack.
The PLA contingent retreated to both sides like a tidal wave, and the three helicopter gunships that took off with a large number of convoys and armored units slowly moved towards the Japanese position.
They are like a sharp blade, so that the Japanese can see, but there is nothing to do, and then little by little into the heart of the devil, let them die slowly in pain.
"That's, that's" In the rear of the Japanese army, the front commander of the devil was so frightened that he even dropped the telescope in his hand, smashed it on the table and turned it in half.
"Sir, wasn't that the weird plane that blew up our front line last time? Here they go again! "One of the devils almost cried.
Under the gaze of all the devils, three helicopter gunships like black eagles arrived over the Japanese defense line.
