Chapter 1231: Picking Chrysanthemums!

The herald came to inform Feng Ye to attend the meeting, and the time was after the lunch break, and when the battle was not fierce, the senior officers had the habit of staring at him for a while after lunch.

"It's finally out!"

Feng Yi looked at the direction of the headquarters, there is no doubt that this meeting is definitely to discuss the feasibility of the plan, and let the executive officer give specific opinions so that he can revise it again, after all, many aspects wait until the plan is implemented, and if it is changed, it will not only waste materials, but also the lives of front-line soldiers.

In fact, compared with the Chongqing government's battle plan, Feng Yi was more willing to believe in the Americans' battle plan; Because Chongqing's plan is really a plan, it is always whimsical, or it cannot be implemented at all; And the Americans will at least use a lot of intelligence to verify it, and try to implement it as much as possible, even if they encounter an accident, they are willing to put in a lot of effort to rescue the troops in trouble.

"The entire battle plan is divided into the following aspects......

The afternoon combat meeting was very punctual, a major staff officer took a baton, pointed to the huge map on the wall and began to explain, because it was only the preparation stage, so these officers did not have the text of the plan, they could only rely on their own brains to memorize, fortunately, they were all at the level of commanders, these things were easy to understand.

"In the preparatory stage, the troops of the New First Army were used to attract Japanese troops in the Mengguan and Waruban areas on the periphery; At present, the new 22nd Division is already carrying out tasks at this stage, and the air power of the Allied forces is constantly undermining the morale of the enemy. ”

That's right, the Allied air strikes are not very effective now, and the fortifications of Mengguan are too complete, and their bombardment will not produce much damage except for the blow to the enemy's morale.

"The new 38th Division has already set out in a roundabout way, because their circuitous route is too long, and most of the road is jungle, so the speed is very slow, and it is expected that it will take about 15 days to reach the vicinity of Qingnanka."

The staff officer then began to narrate, looking at the staff officer's baton, Feng Yi frowned, it found that the new 38th Division was a little too slow, it was like a snail, and it was impossible for normal troops to march so slowly.

"Here's the official plan, codenamed Chrysanthemum Picking."

The staff officer officially said the code name of this plan, why is it called Cai Ju? This is related to their target, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, which is commonly known as Ju.

"The goal of the first stage is to encircle and confine the headquarters of the 18th Division to the Mengguan area; Carrying out this task are the New First Army and the Sino-American Mixed Commandos. ”

"The new 22nd Division is attacking from the north, so there is no need to worry about the Japanese breaking through from the north; To the east is the circuitous new 38th Division; The north side is not suitable for large troops to pass through, only the air force and a small number of troops can be isolated, so this side is not the point; The focus is on the south, the south leads directly to the Warruban area, once the Japanese army breaks and flees into the Warruban area, we have to face one checkpoint after another, so we must be here, Panmai is their throat, raid here, occupy and hold, you can achieve the situation of closing the door and fighting the dog. ”

Speaking of the key point, the staff officer unconsciously mobilized his emotions, as if he had fallen into some kind of fantasy.

"The key to carrying out this step is the commando team, and they need to occupy Panmai without the Japanese defense."

"According to recent intelligence, there is no suitable place for airborne near Panmai, except for the steep jungles on both sides, there are Japanese eyeliners everywhere, and the airdrop here is undoubtedly for the airborne troops to die."

"Of course, the Waruban area further south is not good, because it is more dangerous here, they will be surrounded when they land, and they will not have a little effect except for a breakthrough."

"So, our choice is here."

At this point, the staff officer said that the baton was in the vicinity of Mai Kun, which was very far from where they were going to raid.

"It's been shaded!"

Feng Yi, whose brows are getting tighter and tighter, now has 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart, and his face is getting more and more ugly, this doesn't even need to be guessed, the absolute main force that jumped down must be his own brothers, as for the Americans, if they want to make a face, maybe there will be one or two companies?

"The airborne troops who land here will not be in danger, they will not even be noticed by the Japanese army, they do not need to care about the Japanese defense line and fortress in front, they only need to bypass, intersperse through the gaps of the Japanese army, sneak to the vicinity of Panmai, and launch an attack; After occupying this place, the powerful air force will immediately airdrop subsequent airborne troops to strengthen the firepower here; Of course, fire support from the air will be there for you at all times. ”

Speaking of which, everyone understands that there will not be many troops in the first batch to jump, only a small number of elite troops, otherwise it will be very dangerous to cross the Japanese defense line, which will greatly increase the possibility of exposure.

"After occupying here, the new 38th Division should also arrive in the Waruban area, they will provide support to the Airborne Forces, so that the Japanese troops in the Varuban area will not be able to draw too many troops to attack you from the south, which will reduce the pressure on the Airborne Forces."

……

"Next is the most critical part, after the Japanese 18th Division finds out that it is surrounded, it will definitely attack the airborne troops frantically, and want to snatch this key point back, so the task of the airborne troops is only to hold here, wait for the new 38th Division to come from the Waruban area, and they will forcibly attack the Japanese fortifications from behind the Japanese army, as long as the new 38th Division arrives in Panmai, the Japanese 18th Division can be declared to disappear."

……

The staff officer was full of words and finished the rough battle plan in one breath; Why is it sketchy, because there are still many details in this plan that need to be perfected.

There was no applause, and the officers, who were directly directing the soldiers' attacks, fell into deep thought, because they felt that this was a fucked up plan, not to mention attacking Panmai, and even how to get through it was a very difficult thing.

"It's just a rough plan, it's certainly not that perfect, so now please put forward your own ideas, mainly to refine this plan."

Paterno stepped forward, and he could feel that this time the plan was rejected by all the officers, and that such a plan was impossible to carry out because of the lack of troops to carry it out.

"General, from Maikun to Panmai, nearly two hundred kilometers, to sneak such a distance, I don't think that there is a force that can do it, our enemies are not stupid, they can't pretend not to see, maybe an accident, can put this army in a desperate situation."

A colonel-officer stood up, shaking his head, and he was the first to raise an objection.

"General, the fate of the Airborne Forces is to be surrounded, but this is not to be surrounded, this is to send us in and be slaughtered."

"General, we are jumping from a height of thousands of meters, there is not much food, ammunition and supplies, once we encounter the enemy, the troops lacking heavy equipment will quickly collapse, this plan is completely impossible to succeed."

“……”

One by one, the American officers stood up and expressed their dissatisfaction, and it was normal for them to disagree at such meetings, and they were fighting for a better fighting environment for themselves and their brothers.

"Colonel Feng, do you have anything to say?"

Stilwell stood up and asked Feng to answer by name.

"General, I have a lot of questions about this plan."

Feng Yi said in his heart, he knew that what should come is still coming.

"It's okay, ask one by one, let's talk!"

Stilwell motioned for the other officers to be quiet, preferring a specific suggestion to the complaints of the others.
