When Pan Guochen jumped out of the chariot, the poisonous smoke on the shore had already dissipated with the wind, and he did not need to wear the bulky gas mask that interfered with his vision for the time being, which made him feel very relaxed.

A few hundred meters away, more than 80 "flying wolf" combat vehicles and hundreds of trucks and motorcycles of his First Armored Brigade were creaking over the steel road laid by the sappers on the beach and driving towards the road behind the coconut grove.

The beach was densely packed with landing ships, like a group of giant whales stranded collectively, one by one, with their mouths wide open, vomiting strings of soldiers, vehicles, and supplies to the land.

To the military of the 21st century, such a scene is not new at all – at best, it is only interested in the chariots covered in acne. But in this time and space, even the most avant-garde science fiction fiction has failed to predict what is happening on this beach, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an epoch-making and landmark feat – the mechanized age of amphibious landing warfare has arrived!

"Brigadier Pan, come in, you're missing."

Facing the beach, Pan Guochen was caught by Lieutenant General Li Wei, chief of staff of the landing force, and dragged into a thatched hut with a wooden sign of "General Forward Finger".

Needless to say, the commander-in-chief of the landing force who seemed to be a gentle and good person, General Shen Xingyi, around the large picture table, Commander Shen stood solemnly on the left hand side of the table: Lieutenant General Yu Dalong, commander of the Marine Corps Armored Corps and commander of the first assault group of the landing force, that is, Pan Guochen's immediate boss, Major General Zhong Tian, commander of the First Marine Division and commander of the first covering group of the landing force, and Brigadier General Huang Zhifeng, commander of the 2nd Marine Corps Armored Brigade; On the right-hand side are Colonel Lin Taiping, commander of the 11th Amphibious Infantry Brigade, Brigadier General Scott, commander of the 12th Amphibious Infantry Brigade, and Brigadier General Sha He, commander of the 101st Amphibious Artillery Brigade.

Seeing Pan Guochen enter the door, Shen Xingyi knocked on the picture table: "It's all here, there's not much time, long story short, look here......"

"According to credible intelligence, the enemy's forces on the south coast were divided into three groups, which were assembled in Eva, Pearl City, and Honolulu."

"What we have to do is to divide and surround these three groups, and eat them separately and one by one!"

Shen Xingyi raised his head, and his starry eyes shot directly at the generals: "Have the troops finished landing?" ”

"The 2nd Brigade is landed!" Huang Zhifeng, who had a simple and honest Chinese face, answered first.

"The 1st Brigade has landed—"

"The 11th Brigade of Jibu has landed!"

"The 12th Brigade has landed."

"The 101st Brigade of Amphibious Artillery has landed!!"

Shen Xing nodded: "Very good, now I order, Yu Dalong immediately led the main force of his department to break through along Highway 83 in the direction of Haleiwa, from Haleiwa to the south, through Vahiawa, to outflank and advance to Pearl City, encircle and annihilate the enemy's heavy army group gathered in Pearl City, and at the same time cut off the connection between the enemy Honolulu Group and the Eva Group, so as to create conditions for the next operation." Commander Yu, from now on, starting at 11:30 a.m., you must take Pearl City within 12 hours! Any questions? ”

Yu Dalong's military boots slammed into the heel: "No! ”

Li Wei, who was on the side, immediately handed Yu Dalong a note: "The army's special forces have seized important bridges along the way, which are the designated frequencies and call signs of their radio stations. Each team has limited strength and ammunition, and should have been spotted by the enemy by now - hurry up. In addition, the 1st Battalion of the Special Engineer Corps will be under the direct command of the headquarters, and the 2nd Battalion will be assigned to your department, so please use it properly. ”

"I know it."

"In addition, please leave a tank platoon in each of the two armored brigades, one amphibious transport platoon in each of the two amphibious infantry brigades, and one howitzer company in the artillery brigade to assemble here as a mobile team of the headquarters."

"Understood!" The five brigade commanders said in unison.

"Zhong Tian stays, and the others can go."

Pan Guochen walked out of the headquarters with the generals and met Colonel Shi Guanghua, commander of the mixed infantry regiment directly under the 1st Assault Group and commander of the 4th Marine Regiment, who was Pan Guochen's classmate when he was a graduate student at Haida.

"Am I late?" Shi Guanghua looked at Pan Guochen expectantly.

Yu Dalong patted Shi Guanghua on the shoulder: "What's late, it's just right - come here." ”

The generals jumped with Yu Dalong into his two-and-a-half-ton truck converted command car, with an iron-framed wooden map table welded in the center of the car, and a bed tucked under the table—it seems that this table also doubled as a marching bed for Yu Dalong's headquarters.

"Without further ado, Division Commander Zhong said just now that a regiment and a battalion have entered Wayami-" Yu Dalong nodded to the small circle marked "WAIMEA" on the map, "It's not going well, we have to rush over immediately, whose troops are closest there!" ”

"My 1 battalion has already driven there." A baby-faced Brigadier General Scott raised his hand.

"You immediately take the rest of the troops over, personally command, and blast the Yankees out of the city in one go, no matter what method you use, my command car will drive through there within one hour."

"Yes!" Scott saluted, jumped out of the truck, climbed into the TDC-H "Fire Crocodile" amphibious support vehicle with a crocodile's mouth painted on the front of the hull, climbed into the turret, and struck the cockpit canopy with the horsewhip he carried with him. After a while, the wide tracks of the No. 12001 "Fire Crocodile" turned up a thick layer of sand, and the huge body of the car trembled and swept away.

The generals covered their faces with their hands to cover the dust that swept from the sky, and continued to listen to the lecture of the commander of the army.

"You also heard from the commander just now, we don't have much time, we have to kill Pearl City in one go, dismember the other party into several large pieces, and swallow them alive. Our greatest strength is mobility! On a road march, it would not be a problem for the whole brigade to run 25 kilometers in an hour. The highway mileage from here to Pearl City is only 3 or 40 kilometers, and the 12 hours given by the commander is too loose, according to me, 6 hours is enough, solve the problem before dark, do you have confidence! ”

"Yes!" Again, in unison, this "whether there is confidence" made Pan Guochen nostalgic - it can be regarded as the formatted password of the Chinese officer in that time and space.

"Huang Zhifeng, the landing position of your brigade is correct, right?"

"That's right, I personally confirmed it just now, and it is indeed south of the 12th Brigade of Jibu."

"Lin Taiping, where is your brigade?"

"No problem, it's just south of the 2nd Brigade."

"Shah, your artillery brigade is not mistaken, right?"

"It's confirmed, there will be no mistake between the 11th Brigade and the 1st Brigade."

"Pan Guochen, what about yours?"

"Over there, the nearest column is."

"Shi Guanghua, are your troops on the road? Is the location right? ”

"When I came, I hadn't finished it, the location was fine, the regimental headquarters and the first battalion were with the 2nd Brigade, the second battalion was with the 11th Brigade, and the third battalion was with the 1st Brigade, all of which were confirmed."

"Good!" Yu Dalong clapped his hands and gave a resolute order: "Since there is no problem, just act according to the armor plan and give full play to the level of your exercise." Disband! ”
