At 10 o'clock in the morning, the headquarters of the Jiaodong Group Army was shining with stars, and 12 division commanders, 42 brigade commanders, and 27 chiefs of staff at or above the brigade level gathered together. The huge conference room, the conference table is full of people, and even the seats on both sides of the wall next to it are sitting a lot of people!

Looking down at the time, Xu Guangming asked Li Shuchun with a smile: "Hehe, Counselor, is there anything good about calling everyone to a meeting today?" "Yes, Senza, is there another military operation?" "The brothers have been looking forward to it for a long time, and it has been training for another two or three months!" "It's time to go out and move your muscles, or you're going to get rusty!" "Yes, Senza, if there is really any good news, let the brothers listen to it first!"

As soon as Xu Guangming's voice fell, Shunzi, Li Jinglin, Ren Yixiong and others echoed one after another, their faces full of expectation and yearning. This is not to say that they are all warmongers, but they are anxious to drive the Japanese devils out of Shandong and China, and to re-establish an independent, prosperous, strong, and democratic new China.

Of course, there must be thoughts of making meritorious contributions, after all, a soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier! Especially in the past month or so, each infantry division has been equipped with a large number of new bulletproof helmets and M1 Garand rifles, and the standard weapons of the infantry have become an M1 Garand rifle, a 95 assault rifle, as well as a pistol and an alloy dagger!

The M1 Garand rifle has a caliber of 7.62 mm, an empty gun weighing 4.37 kg, a muzzle velocity of 865 m/s, an effective firing range of 730 m, and a feed method of 8 rounds or 20 rounds. The gun is highly reliable, has high shooting accuracy, is easy to disassemble and clean, and it proves to be a reliable, durable, and effective rifle.

In the Pacific islands, the jungles of Southeast Asia, the African deserts, and the European theater, the M1 rifle demonstrated ultra-high reliability and shooting accuracy in most battlefields of World War II, and was recognized as the best rifle of World War II. As a result, everyone felt that they had been armed to the teeth, and their confidence had swelled to a new peak with their strength! Returning home by car, Jiang Qiang smelled an unusually tempting aroma of cooked food as soon as he entered the compound, and it was obvious that he had an extremely hearty lunch at noon today.

After a pleasant lunch, Yang Fan accompanied his children to play in the yard for about half an hour, and Huzi came to the door with gifts. First, he gave gifts and exchanged a few polite words with Jiang Qiang and others, and Huzi couldn't wait to say: "General, I have been at the Jiaoxian Naval Base for more than half a year, and how many battles have the brother troops fought before and after, but we have been listening to the sound of artillery in the back!"

Those brothers were anxious, and asked me all day long when I could pull out and the little devil with real knives and guns! Jiang Qiang said with a smile: "What's the hurry, the so-called everything is difficult at the beginning, now the waters around us are blocked by the devil fleet, even if we buy you some ships to come back, it won't work!" Although there is no actual ship for you to practice now, the supporting training materials, facilities and equipment are the most advanced in the world today! Could it be that you all fully understand and eat it thoroughly? ”

Huzi smiled and said, "This, I naturally know!" The brothers also understand, but there is a good saying, on paper, it is shallow, and you must do it! The brothers are in a hurry! Jiang Qiang scolded with a smile: "Hehe, you will drop your schoolbag with me!" You've grown! Huzi said with a smile: "How can you not grow up with the head seat, otherwise how can you keep up with the pace of the head seat!" Soza, I just ran into Junko on the street and had a few small talks with him!

Listening to his tone, it seems that there will be a big move recently, if there is really something good in the general seat, don't forget about us! "Alright! Don't bend around, I'll know what's going on as soon as you come! Then I'll give you an explanation, so that you can rest assured! ”

Jiang Qiang took a sip of tea from his teacup, and then continued: "That's right, I will launch a major military operation recently, the main combat goal is to take Qingdao, and after capturing these coastal cities, I will build coastal defense artillery along the coastline as quickly as possible, completely block the coastal defense of the Shandong Peninsula, and then you can build a naval fleet with free hands!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Qiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Great, it's really good, looking forward to the stars and the moon is finally looking forward to this day!" Haha, if we can also have a powerful battleship and aircraft carrier battle group, if we can beat the devil navy to the ground in the future, how majestic and cool it would be! "These days, I have watched many war films such as "Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War" and "Russian-Japanese Naval War", as well as a complete set of current world naval ship materials, so I have a very clear and definite understanding of the strength of the Japanese Navy.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, and it was only then that Huzi really understood how powerful the Japanese Navy was, and why the naval forces of the National Army were vulnerable in the past! At the same time, Huzi also felt deeply anxious, his own navy was poor and white, and he didn't even have a decent fishing boat, let alone a combat ship!

The surrounding waters are completely under the control of the Japanese army, and when they have nothing at their own, how can they develop and strengthen the navy, and even engage in naval battles with the behemoth of the Japanese navy in the future? If it weren't for Jiang Qiang standing behind him, Huzi would definitely think that either he was "beaten into the cold palace" and hidden, or it was a self-deceptive daydream!

"There will be bread, there will be milk! Three months at the earliest, half a year at the latest, you can truly become the commander of the naval fleet! At that time, there will naturally be a lot of opportunities to make contributions! Jiang Qiang nodded with a smile, just sketched the grand blueprint, and did not elaborate on the specific implementation time and stage goals!

Because the idea of building an aircraft carrier battle group that can confront the Japanese Navy is quite beautiful, but in practice it is too difficult to operate, and it is difficult to achieve without a long enough development! Although there are now aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, amphibious combat ships, conventional submarines, mine warfare ships, patrol ships, support auxiliary ships, hovercraft, hovercraft, cruise ships, motorboats, fishing boats, and so on!

It's just that the long list of zeros behind aircraft carriers and battleships is prohibitive, and even if you save up for a year and a half and buy an aircraft carrier and a few battleships, it will be difficult to pose a threat to the Japanese Navy! Jiang Qiang's original intention in developing the navy was to implement the wolf pack tactic with the submarine force as the mainstay, and then buy some light surface ships with strong mobility and cooperate with coastal defense artillery for coastal defense!

When we have accumulated enough strength, we will develop large ships and aircraft carriers, and the ultimate goal is to build a strong enough navy to guard China's long coastal defense line, safeguard the country's sea power and territorial integrity, and meet global strategic needs! "Haha, it's a pleasure to chat with the head seat! Boss, you are busy, I won't delay your precious time! If there is nothing else, the little brother will take his leave first! ”

After chatting for an hour or two, Huzi stood up unsatisfied, and his heart was extremely hot, and he couldn't wait to go back now and share it with the officers and soldiers under his command! "Okay, seeing that you are in a hurry, I won't leave you for dinner! Ha ha! ”

Jiang Qiang was also happy to be idle, and after sending Huzi to the yard, he shouted to Jiang He not far away: "Jiang He, take Huzi to the kitchen and get him a bag of 50 catties of fine seedling rice!" That's a little bit of my heart! "Wow! Thank you very much! Hey! ”

Huzi was so excited that he rubbed his hands again and again, according to the current ration, he was only 50 grams a day, and this 50 catties was the total amount of 500 days! This thing is not only delicious, but more importantly, it can subtly improve physical fitness and enhance physical fitness! And the body is the capital of the revolution, especially in the current war years, the strength of the body is directly related to the survival rate of the battlefield and the life of the family! When Huzi left in the car with a thousand thanks, Tingting said to Jiang Qiang with a smile: "Jiang Qiang, I heard you talk about it just now, it seems that there is another war?" ”

Jiang Qiang nodded and said: "The little devils are still killing people and setting fire to plunder resources in our country, and the war will naturally not stop!" If you don't kill the devil, the devil will kill me! "Well, that's true! The little devils are really not a group of things, if it weren't for Jiang Qiang to hold up this sky, we ordinary people would definitely not be spared! It's like the Changsha fire a month ago, alas, it's really a natural and man-made disaster! ”

Thinking that there was another war, Tingting couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "Jiang Qiang, a few little sisters came to me today, saying that they wanted to join the film company to make a movie, can you help say hello?" "On the morning of December 18, the Jiaodong Group Army launched an attack on eight counties and cities, including Linyi County, Fei County, Xintai County, Yidu County, Shouguang County, Ye County, and Jimo County.

Among them, the main direction of attack was Yidu County, Shouguang County, Ye County, and Jimo County, and a large number of heavy weapons such as aircraft, artillery, and tanks were used to carry out a frontal assault at the beginning. The attack intensity of the remaining 4 counties is not small, although the number of artillery and tanks is relatively small, especially the tanks are only more than a dozen as fire support and infantry cover, but the momentum is not bad at all!

Due to "less porridge and more monks", in order to avoid everyone shouting unfairly, Jiang Qiang adopted the method of drawing lots to determine the targets of each army's attack, among which Gu Liangmin drew a piece of big fat: Jimo County! Why is Jimo County a big fat meat, it is because behind Jimo County is an important port city of Qingdao, where not only can it provide the Japanese army with material landing docks and fleet berthing military ports, so the Japanese army has heavy troops to guard Jimo County!

Yesterday afternoon, Gu Liangmin dispatched more than 5,000 people from two main regiments to Jiaoxian, and as soon as the order to attack was issued today, the bomber group and heavy artillery units took the lead and launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the Japanese Fengjiaping position! After the shelling, 1,100 heavily armed infantry attacked under the cover of 40 tanks, 5 armored vehicles, 4 self-propelled cannon howitzers, and 5 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns!

Because the landform in Jimo is generally low mountains and hills, the ground elevation is mostly between 20-100 meters above sea level, and the average altitude is 54.47 meters. The terrain is generally high in the southeast and low in the northwest. Therefore, at the beginning of the attack, the 6th Division, which has strong field combat capabilities, was quite imposing, and the advance was extremely smooth, and it was completely like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves!

The Japanese army is also very aware of the super field combat ability of the Huaxia Tiger Army, so they did not send heavy troops to defend these plains and depressions that were not dangerous to defend, only a small number of devil troops and puppet troops were stationed in the stronghold turrets! However, these fortifications, under the heavy fire of aircraft, tanks, artillery, and artillery, simply cannot provide effective defense!

In half a day, the 6th Division was pushed to the vicinity of Jimo County. Major General Ning Chunxiao, commander of the 15th Brigade, stood on a high ground in the rear, and could see the county town in front of him with the naked eye, and suddenly said to Gu Liangmin beside him in a very good mood: "Division, there are planes, artillery and tanks in your hands, and it is refreshing to start a battle!" The little devil doesn't dare to fight with us in the plains at all! Think about it before, it was completely one heaven and one earth! ”

Gu Liangmin nodded with a smile on his face and said: "That's natural, the devil is not stupid, he has suffered so many big losses in a row, if he still wants to fortify like before, then it will be called hell!" Ha ha! Major General Li Zhanbiao, commander of the 16th Brigade, seconded the proposal with a smile: "Thanks to the wisdom of the division at the beginning, we found a way out in advance, if we hadn't come to the Jiaodong Group Army, maybe where we would be cannon fodder now!" ”

Major General Shi Tongran, deputy commander of the 6th Division, said with a smile: "This is called No Ji Tailai, Ji people have their own natural appearance!" I've heard that Cao Fulin was made very miserable in the Fifth War Zone, not only did he have to be cannon fodder but also had to be transferred around, and he was tired to death before he was killed by devils! Ha ha! Major General Tao Qinghai, chief of staff of the 6th Division, snorted: "This guy defected to Chairman Jiang, not only wanting to annex our division, but also wearing small shoes for the division seat, now I want to see how he ends!" ”

"Alright! Don't mention these old things, after all, they were their own brothers before! Now that I'm going my separate ways, sometimes it's a pity to think about it, and I don't know if I'll be able to meet them again in this life! Gu Liangmin sighed lightly and said in pieces: "It's really embarrassing to recall all kinds of things in the past, in just two or three years, I have a feeling of being in a different world!" ”

Li Zhanbiao nodded thoughtfully: "Who said it wasn't?" A year ago, who would have thought that the head seat would have such a capability, and that he could get so many heavy weapons and advanced equipment! In the past, we used our lives to fill the devil's plane artillery, and often before we saw the devil soldiers, we had to suffer heavy casualties, which was really a nest! ”

"Haha, this is called thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, feng shui takes turns! I only hope that Shandong can be brought back as soon as possible and the little devils will be driven out of our Shandong! At that time, we will be worthy of heaven and earth! ”

Tao Qinghai sighed softly, remembering that he took the initiative to give up the Lubei Plain under Han Fuyu, and then gave up the Jinan Provincial Capital without letting go of another shot, and fled frantically all the way to southwest Lu! Tao Qinghai felt that it was a lifelong stain and humiliation, and over the years, I don't know how many times he was scolded and woken up in his dreams, and how many times he dreamed that those innocent people who died in vain in the Japanese army came to look for him!

"Haha, are you thinking about it like that? With the things in our hands, why is it difficult to recover the entire territory of Shandong? Li Zhanbiao said with an extremely optimistic smile: "I firmly believe that under the leadership of the general seat, we can completely drive Japan out of China, and even counterattack Japan in the future!" ”

"Don't be arrogant or discouraged when you win, don't be happy too early, and don't underestimate the enemy! Our combat mission to attack Jimo County has just begun! Gu Liangmin put down the binoculars, turned his head to look at Li Zhanbiao and said: "This county seat is the first hard bone, and there are more defensive positions carefully built by devils in the hills and mountains behind the county seat!" Your 46th regiment has a difficult task today! Li Zhanbiao saluted with confidence and said: "Please put down the division, the 46th Regiment is also the main force of our 16th Brigade, and the 2,500 brothers have long been looking forward to facing the Japanese army, and today you will see how well we behave!" Ha ha! ”

"Good! Good! The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, I also want to see what kind of performance we will have after training for so long, and now that we have such a sophisticated and powerful weapon, we will meet the hard bones of the Japanese army! Gu Liangmin nodded lightly, and since he defected to Yang Fan for more than a year, he has not had many opportunities to fight hard, and during the Battle of Taierzhuang, two regiments of troops had fought a tough battle with the Japanese army!

After a gap of more than half a year, the 6th Division has been in a state of training almost all the time, and today is the first time that it has independently taken on the main frontal attack mission. Therefore, Gu Liangmin is looking forward to the outstanding performance of the troops, and hopes that his descendants can surpass other brother troops! At this time, Kong Xiangsheng, the commander of the 46th Regiment, was riding an armored command vehicle, and with the main force had arrived at the outskirts of Jimo County.

After Kong Xiangsheng found out the situation through the radio station and the observation glass, he immediately ordered: "Order the armored troops to suspend the attack, and the engineer company will start digging trenches on the spot and building a line of fortifications!" Kong Xiangsheng is not in a hurry to launch a general offensive, steady and steady is the king, anyway, the "ice-breaking operation" formulated this time is as long as 1 month, there is really no need to rush!

Li Shuchun said with a smile: "A few days ago, the general seat did discuss with me about preparing to make a big move before the Spring Festival in 39, so that everyone can have a fat year!" Xu Guangming suddenly smiled: "Really? Haha, great, what is the specific plan of the senza, can you reveal a little bit in advance? Li Shuchun shook his head and smiled: "What are you anxious about, the head seat is about to arrive, and he will naturally explain it to everyone in detail when the time comes!" ”

said that Cao Cao Cao was coming, and at this moment, the guard at the door shouted loudly: "The total seat is here!" "Stand up!" "Salute!"

This voice was like a charge, Li Shuchun, Xu Guangming, Shunzi and others stood up one after another, saluting Jiang Qiang solemnly!

"Good! You may be seated! Jiang Qiang stood in front of the main seat and saluted back, and waited for everyone to take their seats before sitting down and said: "I have gathered everyone here today to announce to you that I am going to launch a military operation codenamed Icebreaker.

Its main intention is to recover the entire Shandong Peninsula, recover Qingdao and other important ports, open up foreign contacts, and smash the military blockade and economic blockade imposed on us by the Japanese invaders! After a few months of obscene development, Jiang Qiang not only made up for all the heavy equipment lost before, but also added more than double the heavy equipment such as aircraft, tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled guns!

In addition, a large amount of gasoline, bullets, shells and other consumables have been hoarded, and the reserve replenishment has reached more than 50,000, so there is no need to worry about being weak for months after a few tough battles! Therefore, Jiang Qiang decided to knock down all the remaining 18 counties and cities on the Shandong Peninsula, including Jimo and Qingdao, before the Spring Festival in 39.

As long as the entire Shandong Peninsula can be managed as steadily as a rock, Jiang Qiang will have enough space for defense in depth, and he will not have to worry about Japan gathering heavy troops to come and be tough! After a pause, Jiang Qiang continued: "In addition, according to the situation at that time, if it goes well, we will further attack Linyi, Feixian, Xintai and other areas!" In short, this time everyone can have a fat year! ”

"Wow! That's great! Now it's time to fight! "Haha, we will fight as much as you say!" "Boss, this time we have to let our 6th Division play!"

Gu Liangmin and the others all looked at Jiang Qiang, even though the scale of this ice-breaking operation seemed to be not small, but there were 6 infantry divisions, a special operations brigade, and a heavy tank armored brigade and the Flying Tigers! In addition to the necessary expenses, Yang Fan's income in the past few months has basically been put on heavy equipment, not only the Flying Tigers have become a brigade-level combat unit, with 120 P-51D "Mustang" fighters, 10 heavy bombers, and 20 reconnaissance aircraft!

Similarly, the tank armored regiment has also been upgraded to the brigade level, with 205 main battle tanks, 20 self-propelled guns, 20 "Cheetah" 35mm double-barreled self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and more than 30 armored vehicles! The main force alone is as high as more than 130,000 people, and the Japanese invaders entrenched in Shandong add up to 20,000 or 30,000 people.

"On this issue, I exchanged views with the Chief of the General Staff! For the sake of fairness, this time we will take the lottery method to carry out the lump sum to the household! "With enough troops and war resources in his hands, Jiang Qiang is also a little inflated, and he is no longer satisfied with the obscene development in the base, and plans to speed up and take advantage of the weakness of the Japanese army after the Wuhan War to expand the territory with the best efforts!

"Alright! I've said everything I need to say! The next time to kill time, the chief of the general staff will slowly discuss with everyone, come up with a specific implementation plan within two days, and start the official action on October 18! ”

After 1 hour of deliberation, Jiang Qiang finally threw the pot out! Then he glanced down at his watch, and Yang Fan waved his hand and said, "It's not too early, it's time for lunch, and the meeting is over!" "Stand up!" "Salute!" The crowd stood up again and saluted respectfully! "Haha! It's all gone! What to do, what to do! ”

General Tang Juwu and General Jiang Baili are chatting at the Military Region Building in Hongkou District, Shanghai, "Jiang Qiang, they have begun to make big moves again, this time they may have to take Qingdao down, so where will Shandong live," "Yes, so that our goal has been achieved, and that Bo Yi has already ascended the throne, I see if Wang Yizhe has to move, can't let little Japan is too comfortable, send a telegram to Jiang Qiang, see if you can also take down all the three eastern provinces and drive the little devils out of the three eastern provinces," Jiang Baili said to General Tang Juwu.
