readx; Meng Zhuzi stood on the dock and looked at the sea in front of him, which was full of nearly a hundred warships and transport ships, as well as the two behemoths. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A complete aircraft carrier fleet, plus dozens of Victory ship transports, can be seen from the number of these Victory ships alone, if fully loaded, the number of troops participating in the operation this time will be at least 400,000.

This is enough to see how much Su Dao attaches importance to this mission, and Meng Zhuzi couldn't help but be stunned, what kind of task is it that is worth sending so many troops at one time?

Even if there are now most new recruits in the troops, at least more than half of the 400,000 troops must have veterans, that is to say, he can even be sure that the 101st Army or the 103rd Army must have a complete army on the transport ship.

But it doesn't matter, whoever goes, just let them go. It's just that soon, Meng Zhuzi has new doubts.

Where are they going this time? Even if there are transport ships to pick them up, the other transport ships should wait in place, and there is no need to pull hundreds of thousands of soldiers around.

Could it be that the purpose of this time is not to attack the mainland? But somewhere else? Meng Zhuzi was a little confused, and he couldn't figure out what Su Dao's true purpose was.

In a daze, the troops slowly boarded the victory ship on the dock, and a brigade transferred from the Marine Corps, plus a brigade temporarily reorganized into the Marine Corps here, the two brigades were added together to form the new Third Marine Division.

Although there are not many troops, it can only be like this at present, too many recruits will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, and even so, they feel that the combat capability of the Marine Corps has decreased by at least half.

When the army was expanded, it was basically divided into two, and all officers at all levels were promoted to one level, and only in this way could the vacancies of officers brought about by the expansion of the army be filled.

It wasn't until all the troops boarded the transport ship that Meng Zhuzi knew where their trip was going, the Philippines.

As soon as the destination was announced, almost all the grassroots officers were stunned, and they couldn't figure out what Su Dao was going to do? Now that the domestic situation has stabilized, the negotiations between Chairman Chiang and that side are proceeding smoothly.

But Su Dao was not in a hurry at all, and he didn't have the slightest intention of getting involved, which also made the soldiers anxious below, but when he thought of the idea of not wanting to fight a civil war before, he was relieved.

At this time, it will be difficult to change whoever sits in Su Dao's position, and if you want to occupy a position in the country, it is impossible not to fight a civil war, but if you do, it will go against their original intention.

But what does this have to do with fighting the Philippines? They don't have the slightest idea of the connection, even if they defeat the Philippines and the whole earth, as long as they don't fight a civil war, they still don't have any status in the country.

No superior would like to keep a tiger in their own country, and they will definitely do everything they can to eliminate them, or take this army into their own hands by other means.

The meeting was held in regimental units, and on a victory ship, there was also a regiment of soldiers, although it seemed a little crowded, but fortunately, the distance was not too far, and they had been resting in Taiwan for a few months, which could be regarded as recuperation.

"Now I'll tell you about the mission of our regiment."

Ren Zhiqiu, commander of the 433rd Regiment of the 416th Brigade of the 3rd Marine Division, where Meng Zhuzi belonged, was in the conference room when he suddenly opened the huge map, and the baton in his hand kept swinging.

At the same time, the soldiers who had given the maps to the officers at all levels had just finished distributing them, and they had made sure that each company commander had a map in his hand.

Although the Filipino Chinese had already produced thousands of maps, they were still not enough, and later they directly copied nearly 10,000 copies in Taiwan, lest they not be enough when the time came, leaving the troops in a predicament.

After seeing that everyone got the map, Ren Zhiqiu didn't stop, and directly pointed the baton in his hand to a place on the map, and said:

"We will arrive at the predetermined position at about three o'clock in the morning, the troops will get up at half past four for dinner, be ready for battle at half past five, and launch an attack on time at six o'clock. At that time, there will be two squadrons of carrier-based aircraft to cooperate with us to land, and our task is also very simple, to land from Sanchez Milla, and then expand the landing ground as soon as possible to ensure that the army brothers can land smoothly.

While the Army brethren are landing, we need to attack as far as possible to the perimeter and expand the army's combat area as much as possible.

One thing you need to note is that there are about 10 local Chinese guides waiting for us about three kilometers west of the landing site, and after landing, a battalion and a company are responsible for finding these guides as soon as possible and bringing them back safely.

After the land landing is completed, we need to return to the transport ship as soon as possible to carry out the next landing mission, this time we are carrying out a multi-point landing, because the strength of the Third Marine Division is limited, so in this battle, it is expected that each of our regiments will carry out at least three or more beach landings, everyone be mentally prepared. ”

said that it was at least three times, but in fact, Ren Zhiqiu still said that it was too little, the army was not good at landing operations, don't look at the 400,000 army troops behind him now, but if there were no marines to open up a landing ground for them, whether this battle could go smoothly was one thing.

The Philippines is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and if it lands on one side alone, it is impossible to quickly complete the task of capturing it, so the mission of the 3rd Marine Division this time is only to open up a landing site, and once the specified number of land forces have landed, they need to return to the transport ship as soon as possible and go directly to the next landing point for landing.

If it is highly efficient, it is estimated that the troops of a regiment will have to carry out landing operations in at least two places a day.

Fortunately, the Philippines' military defense is not too much, and the Philippines, which has become a colony of the United States, has no energy to manage the Philippines at this time because the strategic center of gravity of the United States is already in Europe, and the war with Germany has made the situation in Europe tense.

According to the local Chinese sources, the number of US troops stationed in the Philippines is only a few tens of thousands, and a mere few tens of thousands is not enough to worry about at all.

As for the Filipino natives, not to mention, they are still a group of natives with big swords and spears, and even these are still rare, and even more people are armed with wooden sticks and iron rods, and fighting with such a group of people is simply an insult to the reputation of the army.

"By the way, I would like to remind you that the commander hopes that we can completely occupy the Philippines before the end of the year, so this time we chose to land in a large number of US troops."

Ren Zhiqiu finally reminded the troops below, worried that they would underestimate the enemy.

Without saying a word, the fleet sailed slowly in the dark night, and at first it was fine, and when it was about to reach the Philippines, the fleet began to implement the light control, and the entire coast was plunged into darkness except for the necessary departments.

At 5:50 a.m., Meng Zhuzi stood on the deck of the transport ship, looking at the Philippine mainland not far away, with a lot of unspeakable emotion in his heart.

Once upon a time, they were still trying to drive out the invaders, and in a few years, they not only drove out the invaders, but also had the strength to expand outward.

Fighting internally, they have a lot of reluctance in their hearts, but externally, no one will have so much mercy, for them soldiers, except for the Huaxia people, everyone else in the whole world is basically an enemy.

"Board the ship!"

Meng Zhuzi roared lightly at the troops around him, it was still dark on the coast before six o'clock, and landing without seeing his fingers could provide them with good cover.

I just hope that the crew members of the landing craft don't get lost and don't collide with other landing craft, if that is the case, they will have to dive.

With an order, a company of 100 and 10 people climbed down directly along the net attached to the landing craft below, and stood on the landing craft in an orderly manner, the veterans were nothing, after all, it was not the first time to fight, nor was it the first time to carry out a landing mission.

The performance when they got on the boat was quite normal, but the recruits were a little depressed, and they could see the nervousness on their faces one by one, and even their bodies were trembling.

Meng Zhuzi couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, so let these soldiers who had only been trained for less than four months come to fight, but Meng Zhuzi forgot a little, when he went to the battlefield, he had only been training for more than two months, and his performance was far inferior to these recruits.

"Do what you can, you know? If you can't do it, call for support, don't be embarrassed, now that you're on the battlefield, only alive is victory, and I don't want to go back with your corpses. ”

Meng Zhuzi casually boarded a landing craft, looked at the recruits who were a little nervous beside him, lost his previous rigor, and couldn't help but speak.

"Company commander, I'm either afraid, I just feel like I'm going to battle, and I can't believe it's true."

One soldier replied with a trembling voice.

"Look at your virtue, you tremble when you say anything, and you can't wait to pee your pants directly, what if you say you're afraid? No one will laugh at you, when your platoon commander first went to the battlefield, he was scared to pee his pants, and now he is not alive and well? And also became an officer? ”

Meng Zhuzi stretched out his hand and pointed at Lao Hei, who had just been promoted from corporal to second lieutenant, and said with a smile.

'Coaxing ......'

Meng Zhuzi's words made the soldiers on the landing craft relax a lot, and they laughed instantly, and the old black platoon commander who was like a butcher in his feelings was that he had also peed his pants back then?

I have to say that after hearing the heroic deeds of the old black platoon commander, everyone was not as nervous as just now, and they also looked down on what was going to be on the battlefield.

The hour hand pointed to six o'clock, and the landing craft that had already been ready, after the soldiers untied the landing net connected to the transport ship, the engine roared, and suddenly rushed straight ahead, and the sea breeze blew on the face, and a tropical smell of sea came to the nose.

Before the U.S. troops on the shore could react, dozens of landing craft were quietly approaching the shore, and thousands of soldiers had already loaded their bullets, waiting for the battle to begin. (To be continued.) )
