readx; As the minutes and seconds passed, there was no one else in the headquarters except for a few signal soldiers and officers on duty. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it was a time of war, the 99th Army did not show so obviously, and it seemed that it did not treat the current war as a war at all.

There was not the slightest nervousness, everyone should sleep, they should eat, and those who did not understand the situation thought that it was in peacetime.

Su Dao and Wu Zhongguo sat in the headquarters, looking up at the huge map in front of them from time to time, but after a long time, they didn't know what to do.

Redeem for a night fighter? But for the present without the air force to attack, it is obviously a bit of a waste to exchange night fighters, and the pilots have not yet adapted to night flights, and rash exchange will only make the air force suffer losses in vain.

But letting the devil land directly in Dalian like this is also something that Su Dao doesn't want to see.

The strength of the navy is limited, although Su Dao has made a plan to leak it out, but the personnel aspect has become his weakness, no matter how many warships you exchange, if you don't have enough naval crews, where can you fight?

Hey, it's still too short, if Su Dao had been given a longer time, or if he had been asked to come directly to Jinxi two years ago, it wouldn't be like this now.

In two years, although Su Dao was not sure to build the fleet into the world's first, she was sure that she would not be afraid of the Navy, and the number of warships could also stabilize the Navy.

Su Dao could only sigh secretly in his heart, it was really not the right time to come, constantly struggling with the little devils on land, intriguing with Chairman Jiang, and wasting so much of his time in vain.

Now that the navy has only been established for a few months, Su Dao forcibly doubled the size of the naval fleet, which makes this fledgling navy feel a little unbearable.

It has the most advanced warships in the world, but because of unskilled personnel and other reasons, it cannot defeat the enemy forces that lag behind itself, which will become a great shame for the navy.

And the navy is also Su Dao's reliance for a long time in the future, and at this time, Su Dao will definitely not let the navy fight to the death, he must find a way to solve the current crisis as soon as possible.

But after thinking about it, Su Dao couldn't think of a way for him to solve this crisis, and the only feasible thing was to fight hard, or let them land, and then intercept the land of Yuben's army.

No matter which one of these two is chosen, it will bring some trouble to Su Dao, not to mention anything else, the attack on the southern army will be delayed for a long time.

This is not a good thing for the soldiers who have been on guard for a long time.

Everyone's spirit is stretched into a line, and after a long time, this line is stretched more and more straight until it breaks.

Once the battle in the north reaches a stalemate, the southern army will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and it will become unknown whether the 99th Army, whose morale has been hit, will be able to complete its previous predetermined plan.

Although on the surface it seemed to be no different from usual, it was actually full of dangers, and if it was not careful, the 99th Army would fall to the bottom.

It was a bold attack, betting that the strength of his troops could completely defeat the Kwantung Army, and there was no place to fight back.

This was indeed the case at the beginning, so Su Dao gradually ignored the emptiness in the rear, always thinking that as long as the Kwantung Army was solved as soon as possible, his strategy would be considered a victory.

Jinxi and Jinzhou, these two places have basically become empty cities now, there are few soldiers defending the city, and there are basically not many regular army soldiers except for the armed police, although Su Dao can temporarily transfer the troops of the remaining division from the Third Army Corps.

The defense of Jinxi and Jinzhou can also be re-supported, but this is not a long-term solution after all, once this division encounters an accident, the entire Sixth Theater will be very passive, and will fall into a situation where there are no troops to adjust.

"Military seat, why don't we transfer the troops that are encircling and suppressing the remnants of the devil to the vicinity of Yingkou to Dandong, let them intercept the landing force there, and let the air force take more care of it there during the day."

After a long time, Wu Zhongguo finally spoke.

This is really something that cannot be helped, the navy naturally knows about their important Wu Zhongguo, and it is impossible for anyone to let the navy take this risk at this time, after all, in the face of so many navy, no matter whether they win or lose, their navy will suffer a catastrophe.

After thinking about it, Wu Zhongguo could only suggest that an armored division and 10,000 marines who were encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Yue army, as well as a brigade of soldiers from the Third Army Corps, be transferred to the line from Yingkou to Dandong.

Although the number of troops is still a little small, it is better than nothing, so that the army can attack their rear unscrupulously. Three hundred tanks in an armored division, plus twenty thousand soldiers, should be able to withstand for some time.

At that time, coupled with the cooperation of the air force, it will not be very easy for the little devil to get benefits, as long as the troops on the northern front speed up the offensive and eliminate the Kwantung Army as soon as possible, they will not be afraid to turn their heads here, and it will be effortless to eliminate the reinforcements.

Of course, the premise is that the 20,000 men plus the 300 tanks of an armored division can withstand the attack of the Japanese army for a long time, and they must defend until the victory on the northern front, otherwise all this will be empty words.

"At present, it can only be like this, and then one brigade will be transferred from the Third Army Corps, and the armored reserve division will also be transferred, and it will be too difficult for 20,000 people to defend such a long defensive line."

Su Dao looked at the map helplessly and sighed.

To be honest, if it weren't for the problem of officers at this moment, Su Dao would even want to expand the army, and the troops in his hands are still a little small, and in the face of millions of troops, he has no room to transfer troops at all, and there are no troops in his hands.

This is not a small danger for the commander of a war zone, and the absence of troops often means defeat, and no matter who is in command of the battle, he must keep at least a little reserve force in his hand in case of emergency.

Originally, Su Dao left two divisions of the Third Army Corps and a reserve force of more than 60,000 people, but now it seems that the reserve troops of these two divisions are too small and not enough at all.

This is also the first time that Su Dao has commanded such a large-scale battle, without any drawbacks of command experience, in other words, Su Dao is too eager for quick success, he thinks he can win this task, but in fact he ignores the most fatal reason.

That is, no one in the 99th Army has the ability to command more than 500,000 troops to conduct multi-faceted operations at the same time, and although they made certain strategic adjustments before the war, shrinking their own defense line and concentrating all their troops, they still have done far from enough.

"No, notify all departments, recruit each other, add four soldiers to each squad, let them step up their training, be sure to learn to shoot in the shortest possible time, as well as simple tactics."

Immediately after, Su Dao still felt that it was not safe, and after thinking about it for a while, he hurriedly commanded again.

The 99th Army did not have the ability to expand the new units alone, because there was no one to use under them, but they could expand the size of each squad, so that the same unit could increase the number of combat personnel and improve its combat effectiveness to a certain extent.

It's a handicap, but it's better than nothing, and after a battle or two, these recruits often stay with veterans, and naturally become veterans.

Some bandits are not formally militarized and can fight against some armies, let alone an army like him.

But this is a helpless move, and it is also the most feasible way at the moment, scattering the recruits in various squads, which will not affect the original combat effectiveness, nor will it make them seem to have the slightest ability to fight back.

To put it mildly, even if the recruits don't know anything, hiding to the side and throwing a grenade during the battle to help the machine gunner press the bullet is also a way to improve combat effectiveness.

"Well, that's all there is to it."

This time, Wu Zhongguo surprisingly did not object, he also realized the existence of danger, if he was blocking the expansion of the army, the future fate of the 99th Army is not easy to say.

Four recruits are added to a squad, and on average, it is equivalent to three veterans with one recruit, and the growth of recruits will be much faster than before.

According to the establishment of the 99th Army, a division has about 3,000 squads, and each squad has more than 12,000 soldiers with four soldiers.

"Inform the navy to pay close attention to the dynamics of the fleet and not to attack lightly, and at the same time order all departments that the task of expanding the army must be completed within three days. Let the marines and two armored divisions rush to the line from Yingkou to Dandong overnight and step up the construction of fortifications. ”

"Inform the airborne division that within three days, every soldier must meet the requirements of airborne operations and immediately enter a state of readiness."

Su Dao then made a series of instructions.

When the airborne division was formed, it was used to transfer some veterans and join some recruits, in short, the number of veterans was the majority, and there was no need to worry about combat experience or anything.

And for nearly two months, the airborne division has also been training to parachute, during which it has actually parachuted more than ten times, although it is not very perfect, but each time it is stronger than the first, so Su Dao will order the airborne division to complete the preparation as soon as possible and be on standby at any time.

However, when this series of orders was issued to the troops at all levels, the commanders at all levels were also excited. They had long felt that their troops were a little insufficient, but this time they finally waited for the opportunity, and the order to expand the army reached the various units in the middle of the night.

And those commanders are even more eager to let the soldiers recruit immediately, it is not easy to do anything these days, but this recruitment is really easy to recruit.

A division expands its army by more than 10,000 people, and the scope of a division must be at least three to five counties, or even more, and it will not even take a day for them to recruit full people.

Of course, there are also some sensitive guys, and after the military department sent an order to expand the army, they felt that things might be a little troublesome.

Although the current strength is a little tight, if it is used well, it is still enough, and there is no need to continue to expand the army at all, and it is impossible for the military department not to know this.

Thinking of the inexplicable expansion of the army, many people speculate whether something has happened? However, no matter how much they pondered, they didn't feel that anything had changed, everything was as usual, the battle was going according to plan, and his resistance was getting smaller and smaller.

But these are just later words, no matter what happens to him, the first task now is to expand the army, and expand the army as soon as possible. As soon as the expansion of the army is completed, their combat effectiveness will be raised by one level earlier, and no one will feel that they have too many soldiers under their command, and it is still in this era of continuous war.

Many commanders told the troops below the news overnight, telling them to get ready, and when it was dawn the next day, they would hurry up to start the recruitment work, for fear that those good soldiers would run away after a while. (To be continued.) )
