June 3, 199 Gregorian calendar.

8 a.m.

Two full days have passed since the end of the meeting of cadres at and above the brigade level of the expeditionary force.

White Emperor City.

The war room of the brigade headquarters of the new 9th Brigade.

Ouyang Commander of the New Ninth Brigade, Chief of Staff of the Brigade Headquarters Rommel, and Deputy Chief of Staff Arnold;

Li Yunlong, head of the 512th Regiment, and Zhao Gang, political commissar;

Kong Jie, head of the 513th Regiment, and Gao Qian, deputy head of the regiment;

Huo Simiao, director of the field hospital;

Lei Zhan, the captain of the Thor commando, as well as dozens of officers such as Zhang Dabiao, Monk Wei, and Jiang Xiaoyu, gathered in the war room.

Ouyang pointed to the map and said in a deep voice: "The empire has already determined the opening time, which is 7 o'clock in the morning on the 6th of this month, which means that we only have less than 3 days to prepare. ”

The war of nations begins!

Immediately, Li Yunlong and the others present all held their breath and waited for Ouyang's next words.

Ouyang continued: "The Lanlong Kingdom is one of the three major kingdoms of the United Emirate of Bezos, with a land area of about 900,000 square kilometers (equivalent to 4.5 Hebei provinces), and most of its territory is plains, of course, there are also many mountains, rivers, and hilly terrain. ”

The land of the Lanlong Kingdom is generally presented as a square.

It can be roughly divided into three parts: left, middle, and right.

On the left, there is the largest desert in Central Continent, known as the Uurith Desert with an 800-mile dry sea.

The central zone is a terrain and landform where plains, forests, mountains, hills, and rivers coexist, and it is also the area with the strongest military power of the Lanlong Kingdom.

On the right, the terrain is generally plain, with a small number of mountains and hills, interspersed with numerous rivers, and on the far right is the coastal area, which has a coastline of 612 km.

"That's right."

After listening to Ouyang's description of the main terrain of the Lanlong Kingdom, everyone present nodded and sighed.

The United Emirate of Bezos, it's just too big!

- 4.5 million square kilometers!

Moreover, just one of them, the Lanlong Kingdom, has 900,000 square kilometers of land, which is roughly the same as the territory of the Tang Empire.

Ouyang continued: "This time, my expeditionary force attacked the Lanlong Kingdom, and adopted a three-way strategy on land, that is to say, my 150,000 expeditionary force will be divided into three armies. ”

The crowd nodded again in agreement with such a strategy.

The strategy of dividing troops into three routes was also a decision made based on the distribution of troops and the terrain conditions of the Lanlong Kingdom.

"Brigade commander, what are the three specific roads?"

Rommel asked: "What about the number of troops in each direction, as well as the arrangement of troops and logistical supplies?" ”

Troop strength, arms, and logistics are the three major elements of a large-scale battle, and they are also the one that Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and others present are most concerned about.

"Ahem!"

Ouyang coughed softly, pointed to the map, and elaborated on the content of the meeting of brigade-level cadres of the expeditionary force.

The pawns are divided into three ways.

The Middle Route Army, based on the composition of the main forces of the 5th Army.

The components include the 12th Army, the 13th Army, the 1st Independent Brigade, the 2nd Independent Brigade, as well as the Field Artillery Brigade, engineers, cavalry, tank troops, signal troops, and medical troops, with a total strength of more than 80,000 people!

The Middle Route Army, which gathered more than half of the strength of the expeditionary force, was all elite.

There is no doubt that the Middle Route Army is the absolute main force in this attack on the Lanlong Kingdom, and the other auxiliary forces are also elite troops from various group armies.

Powerful!

"Huh~~!"

"The 80,000 troops composed of the elite of each army, if they are left in Qingchuan Province, it will be enough to push the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Frost Moon Empire!"

Kong Jie couldn't help but applaud.

Hearing Kong Jie's words, Li Yunlong couldn't help but say: "Kong Er's words are true, the elite of these 80,000 people is indeed very powerful!" ”

The 80,000-strong Middle Route Army, which gathered the elites of the various group armies of the Tang Empire, how could it be a joke?

Strong and strong, is the best explanation for it!

Moreover, the commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army was personally led by Zhai Songpo, commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, known as the "Songpo Giant".

Yu Chenglong, deputy chief of the War Department, served as chief of the general staff.

~~~

The Right Route Army is composed of the 52nd Division, the 55th Division, the 56th Division, as well as the Ruo** Corps, the Cavalry Regiment, and the Engineer Regiment, with a total number of more than 40,000 people.

Because it was formed by the mixed formation of elite units of various group armies, it was awarded the number - three columns.

The third vertical is the deputy group army structure, which is one level lower than the group army structure and one level higher than the army structure.

The commander-in-chief of the three columns is served by the deputy commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Shangguan Sinan.

"If the main task of the Central Route Army is to attack cities and expand territory, then the three verticals on the right are to bulldoze the coastline of the Lanlong Kingdom and ensure the sea supply of the expeditionary force."

Ouyang said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Zhao Gang, political commissar of the 512 regiment, was the first to raise questions.

Zhao Gang said: "Brigade commander, the troops are divided into three routes, you just said the 5th Group Army in the middle and the three columns on the right, does this mean that my new Ninth Brigade is under the command of the Left Route Army?" ”

Ouyang smiled, and immediately everyone present also understood.

They guessed right!

The New Ninth Brigade is indeed one of the subordinate units of the Left Route Army.

In terms of troops, the Left Route Army was very small compared with the 80,000 men of the 5th Group Army of the Central Route Army and the 40,000 men of the Third Column of the Right Route Army.

There are only more than 20,000 people!

The commander-in-chief of the Left Route Army is Jia Renyi, deputy commander-in-chief of the 12th Group Army and now commander of the Provisional 8th Division.

The Left Route Army has two brigades under its jurisdiction, as well as engineering, tan, artillery, communications, medical, and logistics units, with a total strength of more than 20,000 troops.

"The main force of the Left Route Army is, of course, two infantry brigades, one of which is the 183rd Brigade under the 158th Regiment and the 272nd Regiment, with Xue Dingbei, deputy commander of the 8th Division, as the brigade commander."

"Second, it's our new Ninth Brigade!"

After Ouyang finished speaking in one breath, everyone's expressions became extremely solemn.

The solemnity of everyone's expressions was also expected by Ouyang.

The enemy faced this time is so powerful, not to mention for the time being, just talk about the area on the left side of the Lanlong Kingdom, which is known as the Ulis Desert with a dry sea of eight hundred miles!

"The harshness of the desert climate is a great challenge for the new Ninth Brigade from outside, both physically and psychologically!"

Fighting in desert areas can easily lead to physical and psychological ailments for outsiders.

Mental illness is mainly manifested in the fact that in the face of yellow sand all day long, an individual's emotions will be unstable, irritable, and irritable.

Physiologically speaking, due to the drought in desert areas, lack of water, and high daytime temperatures, it is easy for the human body to lose water, and water is the most important for people.

Once dehydrated, the body's metabolic function will be disrupted, and it will send out signals that it will not only be thirsty, but will show many more symptoms than "dry mouth".

It will cause widespread pain in the waist and cervical spine of the soldiers;

It can cause ulcers in the peptic tract, increase blood pressure, and even asthma and allergic reactions, especially in desert areas, where the air contains fine particles, which can cause great damage to the human respiratory system.

Moreover, the lack of green vegetables in desert areas will also lead to other diseases due to insufficient vitamin supplementation necessary for the human body.

The desert, just the harsh climate, will cause the combat effectiveness of the warriors to plummet!

This battle will undoubtedly be a bad battle!

Ouyang looked at everyone and said loudly: "No matter how bad the climate of the Great Uris Desert is, no matter how powerful the next enemy is, no matter how difficult the future battle is, we have no way to retreat, we can only move forward!" Advance! On the way forward ~~! ”

"Yes, Brigadier General!"

Rommel, Arnold, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others shouted in unison.

June 6, 7 a.m.

The new Ninth Brigade will start on time!

The expeditionary force of 150,000 troops, all of them are open!

The third update of "" was sent.
