326 Catching Big Fish (Part II, Part II)
"After a week of blows, the assault brigade has smashed the lair of three little devils.
The brigade commander who killed one little devil, two wing commanders, and a total of 5 brigades of little devils were annihilated.
It can be seen that our special operations tactics have already achieved initial results. Next, Song Tiecheng's side continued to carry out further special operations according to this model, in which the radio wave reconnaissance team should be expanded, and we will conduct long-term radio wave inspections from several key places at the same time to capture the clues of the little devil command headquarters. ”
Gao Jianwu highly affirmed the work of the assault brigade at the summing up meeting.
"What I want to say next is that in all defense areas, it is necessary to strengthen the joint work of early warning and air force, and set up a rapid mobile unit to be responsible for the anti-sneak attack and anti-infiltration work in the defense area.
The main composition of the mobile unit is to take four tanks as the combat core, and two to three companies of mechanized infantry as the auxiliary, to ensure that this mobile unit can be dispatched at any time in various defense areas, and the logistics section must do a good job in operation and maintenance, as well as provide sufficient fuel supply. ”
At the beginning, the three major strategies he worked out, the air commando team had just started its training work, and this team did not want to be put into actual combat in a short period of time.
Only the special operations of the assault brigades and the routine suppression of bandits by various attack groups can be carried out now, and judging from the current combat results, the special operations of the assault groups are still remarkable.
The attack group defense area operation of joint defense according to the region, in the face of the sneak attack of the little devil, there is always a feeling of slow half a beat, and the little devil adopts the tactic of running after a fight, which is almost insoluble for the attack group.
Despite the variety of his subordinates, a lot of counter-attacking tactics were proposed. For example, the next set lured the snake out of the hole to ambush, lurked and waited on the main road in the mountains according to the map provided by Gao Jianwu, and sent multiple teams into the mountains to search, etc.
None of these methods have been very effective.
On the one hand, the little devils have become ghosts, and on the other hand, the land reform has indeed created a new batch of hardcore traitors, who are reporting to the little devils.
At present, the only thing that has made remarkable progress in the conventional suppression of bandits is the aerial reconnaissance part, and Lu Xingguo and his team have formed an aerial reconnaissance team through the captured Ki46-3 reconnaissance plane of the Little Devil Baishi Command, and after short-term training and actual combat, they have completed the preliminary construction of a new branch of the Air Force.
Aerial reconnaissance teams have daily patrols and early warnings. Now it has become very difficult for the little devils to send out a large-scale force to sneak attack.
The four Ki46-3 reconnaissance planes of the Baishi Command will inspect the mountainous areas of Wanwan Island every day, and great progress has been made in reconnaissance.
Now for each defense area, mobility is a key point of current strengthening, so Gao Jianwu specially convened a meeting, and the main topic this time is to dismantle the tank company and build a mechanized battalion for each key defense area!
According to the distance between the north and south ends of Wanwan Island, Gao Jianwu's initial plan was to take about 50 kilometers as a defense area, and each defense area had a mechanized battalion, so that it would be almost 12 mechanized battalions.
"The mechanized battalion is really good, basically it can reach any place with a road in the defense area in 2 hours." Zhao Dalei said that when he heard that a formal mechanized battalion was going to be formed, he had long been itching.
"But there are still a lot of places where there are no roads, so it's a bit difficult."
"Da Lei is right, we still have a lot of places here that don't have a single road." Gao Jianwu nodded, "But we can't wait to rely on, each assault group must give full play to its own subjective initiative, and if there is no road, they will repair it themselves, there is a saying in our hometown, that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and when the transportation is developed, it will be easier for the local economy to develop." ”
"Now the assault group is not only undertaking combat tasks, but also supporting local construction is also one of the important tasks, of course, there is a balance in this, and the local government must also organize a certain number of migrant workers to carry out road construction."
Since Gao Jianwu crossed, all he encountered was to engage in construction while fighting, and Wanwan Island has now been recovered, and of course it must be built well.
Although the current conditions here are not very good, only agriculture and fishery are also carried out, and factories do not have the conditions for large-scale development for the time being, after all, most of the resources have been invested in the previous major base areas.
"Understood." Zhao Dalei actually seems to understand whether he understands or not, but he will do whatever Gao Jianwu says, say to build roads, and when he goes back, he will pull the team and start doing it.
Building roads now is not the rigorous approach of later generations, that is, digging a road, being able to drive by mistake and paving some gravel, and it does not involve any troublesome things such as land acquisition, and enough people can do one or two kilometers a day.
The little devil blocked and engaged in cage tactics back then, which was useless in Gao Jianwu's opinion, and now he just wants to build the road in all directions, so that the role of the mechanized battalion will be brought into play immediately.
A mechanized battalion is enough to deal with the annihilation battle at the level of the little devil brigade, even if it is a large group of small devils above the wing, the mechanized battalion can protect itself and ask for help on the spot.
The guards all over the countryside are now far more powerful than the traitor team composed of broken landlords, and Gao Jianwu is using the royal way to subdue the crooked ways.
...
Allied Western Pacific Command.
"General Steven, can you mobilize the Southeast Task Force and persuade them to send troops to the Ryukyus, and if the Ryukyus are taken, we will be able to attack the mainland of Xiaoben without hindrance." After taking Luzon to take revenge, General Mack was in a good mood.
Although his troops had suffered more blows on Luzon than in history, there were still nearly 100,000 imps hiding on the island from time to time to give the Allies a blow.
But nominally, after all, it was taken down.
What's more important is that the Little Devil Combined Fleet has been completely crippled, and in the South Sea Islands, the Little Devil no longer has the ability to compete with the Allied Forces.
They were just waiting for the Allies to destroy them one by one.
But having tasted the benefits of the frog-jumping tactics, General Mack hopes to be able to strike mercilessly at the imp homeland sooner.
Now that Wanwan Island can do this, General Mack feels that it is not enough, so he takes the Ryukyus against the small book and keeps beating him in the lower abdomen to relieve his hatred.
"It's impossible, the Southeast Task Force is now under threat from the remnants of the little devils on Wanwan Island, and it's good to be able to ensure the safety of most of the airports now, we can't ask for too much." General Steven shook his head.
"Wanwan Island is their homeland, so they are willing to desperately go to the island and take it down. Unless we declare that after the Ryukyus are taken, it will also be their homeland, then there is a slight possibility. "General Steven knows the Chinese people, and he has been in this land for so long, not sitting in vain and doing nothing.
Local customs, various warlords and oligarchs, General Steven has seen a lot.
There are only a few things that can make the Chinese people desperate, and General Steven doesn't think he can take it out.
"Recognize Ryukyu as their homeland?" General Mack was really starting to wonder about the feasibility of this.
"Maybe it's not impossible for us to publicly declare that those small islands are their land now, and what we have to lose?"
Ahh
General Steven didn't think that General Mack had really been fooled.
The nature of the Ryukyus is completely different from that of Wanwan Island.
Can this be mixed up and easily given to people?
"No, no, General Mack, this is a serious question, we can't do what politicians decide." General Steven excused himself.
"I personally think that the lives of the boys in the beautiful country are more important, if I can exchange those islands for the chance of survival of 100,000 young men in the beautiful country, I will not hesitate to do it!" General Mack said earnestly.
He is actually right, the beautiful country has always been like this, they calculate the gains and losses of battles like merchants.
And General Mack's estimate was also very accurate, in the original time and space, the Okinawa rice army lost almost 80,000 people! There was even the death of a commander-in-chief of the landing operation, Lieutenant General Buckner, commander of the 10th Army!
If he could exchange other people's land for this result, General Mack would definitely make a lot of money.
General Steven didn't have the face to say this, but he couldn't resist General Mack's insistence, so he asked Major General Smith to probe Gao Jianwu's tone.
...
"John, long time no see! Let's have a good drink tonight, and we won't get drunk or go home! Gao Jianwu was a little surprised to see the busy Major General Smith coming to visit in Moss North, but he didn't think about anything else.
Now Wanwan Island is like an unsinkable aircraft carrier, and many fighters from the Hong Kong and Kowloon Air Base on the Allied side have begun to move to Wanwan Island, ready to launch an air strike against the little devils in the north at any time!
"High, long time no see! It's always so pleasant to meet old friends. "Seeing that Gao Jianwu maintained his enthusiasm for him as always, Major General Smith was also very happy.
"We hope to be able to fight side by side again soon, and the days of fighting with you are the biggest memory of my life."
"Haha, John, you're so kind, and I enjoyed the time when we fought side by side in Southeast Asia, and although it was a bit tough, we still kept going." Gao Jianwu smiled and welcomed Major General Smith to the reception room.
Made a good pot of tea.
"I've got something to ask you for, John, you know we're training an airborne troop, but we don't have planes to transport them, can a transport plane like the C-47 get eight out of ten to make my airborne force worthy of its name?" Gao Jianwu caught Major General Smith, and he didn't have to beat around the bush, so he thought about trying to fish with a straight hook.
"Gao, to be honest, if it was before, you wouldn't have had a chance, but now there is a great opportunity, maybe you can get it." Major General Smith is certainly not qualified as a lobbyist.
But his frankness can always make him return home with Gao Jianwu.
When Gao Jianwu heard this, his eyes lit up, as if he could catch a wave of big fish again? What kind of opportunity is it?
