As soon as Huang He's plan came out, the deputy commander who was thinking silently on the side immediately jumped into action.
As for the plan that could kill two birds with one stone, he, an iron-blooded soldier, agreed from the bottom of his heart. After all, who doesn't like big operations that can both flex their muscles and destroy the enemy?
What's more, this is the first time the Eighth Route Army has done business with other forces, so naturally it wants to make some big noise.
"Okay! The second Battle of Xinkou will be just like what Huang He just said!"
"Pass my order! In the next battle, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region must make full use of the assets on hand and strive to give every weapon installed by the troops a chance to appear. We must win a victory over technology and industry. !”
"As for the matter of inviting the observation group, leave it to the Eighth Office of the Mountain City to arrange it. If it doesn't work, just ask the old director to go and invite our allies."
Hearing this, everyone in Neibei Pavilion nodded, and the correspondent also began to organize the meeting contents and prepare to send them to the border area.
As if thinking of something important, the brigade commander first looked at the situation map of the enemy and ourselves in the Suiyuan area, and then stood up and suggested to the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy general staff officer:
"Boss, I'm wondering whether to call back Li Yunlong's Marine Corps."
"The three divisions of the Japanese army have now broken through the defense line in the Datong-Julebao area and are marching towards our scheduled decisive battle location. There is no point in the paratroopers continuing to cause destruction behind enemy lines."
"If there is a problem with the supply line at the rear at this time, the cautious old devil Okamura Neji might become suspicious, which would force the postponement of the observation group's plan."
As soon as these words came out, Huang He immediately glanced at the old leader.
He really made me cry to death. The brigade commander still dotes on Li Yunlong so much. Even though his beloved general has left the 386th Brigade, he will still think of him if something good happens.
However, this proposal is also very reasonable.
The Japs are not stupid. After the Battle of Datong, the enemy could more or less guess what the Eighth Route Army was thinking. The three Japanese lieutenant generals who were monkey spirits would definitely not go deep into Shanxi when the rear was unstable.
Especially the cavalry group, those armored units are just scrap metal without supplies.
What's more, the Air Overlord transport aircraft, Hamilka heavy glider and M22 Cicada tank are a complete combination, and the three of them together are more shocking.
That was a tough dish prepared for Lao Cui, so naturally the Marine Corps couldn't miss this battle.
After a while, the deputy commander touched his chin and replied:
"Okay, contact that boy Li Yunlong and ask them to prepare for the return journey as quickly as possible. Don't rely on embroidering on the Pingsui thread."
"Lao Zuo, the day after tomorrow you go to the First Marine Regiment in person, try to come up with a suitable combat plan as soon as possible, and give our allies a little rabbit shock!"
"no problem!"
After dealing with the affairs of the advisory group and allies, this Nei Beiting meeting officially ended.
Following the pace of the big guys, Huang He walked towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion in a hurry. He is going to the Taiyuan Arsenal to finalize the foreign trade weapons that will be used next.
Just when he was about to go out, Lao Dai chased him out from behind with an expression on his face asking for credit.
"Huang, I've finished what you told me."
"Under my persuasion, the Viet Minh completely changed their previous thoughts and decided to follow the arrangements of your superiors. With such a stable ally like me, it feels very safe."
"Don't worry about the navy. I will definitely choose a real and suitable general for you."
Looking at Lao Dai who was becoming more and more like Li Yunlong, Huang He couldn't help but smile.
Compared with some insect allies who want to backstab themselves all day long, the comrades of Free France are really many times more reliable.
If nothing else, let’s talk about the advisory group to assist the Viet Minh.
With the existence of these people, there will be far fewer territorial disputes after the war, and there will even be a certain chance of completely resolving issues left over from history.
"It must be reliable, and you are..."
Before he finished speaking, Huang He heard a strange movement in his mind.
You don't need to think about it to know that this must be another trick of awakening Yonghu.
As a veteran with many similar experiences, he chatted with the French friends around him without changing his expression, while focusing part of his energy on checking the prompts given by the system.
After opening the interface, two passive unlocking decisions come directly into view.
"Ensuring Gaoping transportation lines: If we want to support our allies in fighting the Japanese army, then the air route from Taiyuan to Gaoping will definitely play a vital role.
Effect: Add 3 military factories outside the map. "
"French Naval Mission: Although the French navy is not powerful, the strength of their surface ships is enough to rank fourth in the world. By learning from each other, we can avoid many detours.
Effect: The French advisory group is led by Philippe Opoinou, and the production efficiency of the naval docks in the system increases by 5%. "
As we all know, Huang He is a loyal fan of a certain 7+ coloring game. So the first time he saw the dynamics, he recognized the original appearance of the new decision.
The first one just unlocked replaced the original "Securing Hanoi Transportation Line".
In the days when the system was first activated, Huang He chose "Where is the orthodoxy of Gallic Chicken" after repeated weighing.
There is no way, after all, the infantry light weapons, support equipment and artillery equipment that follow this line are more important. Without them, the Eighth Route Army might still be living a miserable life.
By the time he had solved his immediate priority and was preparing to increase production capacity by "securing the Hanoi transportation line", France, the European hegemon, had already surrendered to Germany.
Under the chain reaction, that decision also became unlockable, and Huang He had no choice but to give up.
But I never expected that because the border area officially formed an alliance with Lao Dai's forces today, the system would actually be generous again. It can only be said to be an unexpected surprise.
Three Mars factories, so delicious!
Now the number of military factories in the system has exceeded the thirty mark, laying an extremely solid foundation for the next business.
The second decision, called "French Military Advisory Group" in the game, also became gray and unselectable because France stopped resisting.
In fact, Huang He disliked it before. After all, the French Army before the surrender really had big problems, not to mention that their tactical thinking was not suitable for the Fourth Master or the Eighth Master at all.
But now it's better, the updated decision changed the army to the navy.
Although the surface ships of Liberty and Vichy combined cannot defeat Japan's combined fleet, they still need to be looked up to in the current border area.
Starting from scratch doesn't mean you need everything.
As for Philip Opoinu, he is definitely the best choice to help the Eighth Route Army build a navy.
This man was from a serious naval academy. He not only commanded gunboats and torpedo boat fleets, but also had combat experience on destroyers, cruisers and battleships.
If nothing else happens, he will become an important figure in integrating the Free French Navy in the future, and he will definitely be a valuable military consultant.
"World of Warships, legendary captain with three legal skills."
After checking the new developments in the Awakening Yonghu system, Huang He solemnly said to Lao Dai:
"I really have to thank you for what happened this time. If we hadn't happened to meet, I would have definitely encountered some trouble."
"Don't worry about the advisory group. Although I can't tell you the specific candidates now, I can guarantee that they are all comrades who have experienced hundreds of battles and are proficient in training."
"As for weapons, I will never let you suffer any loss!"
The stronger the advisory group is, the more troubles the motherland will be able to save after World War II, so the Yellow River can naturally promise such things as weapons.
Hearing this, Lao Dai nodded with satisfaction.
As the leader of a large force, he certainly would not think that his friend was selling out. It is definitely not convenient for people below to reveal things that have not been made public by superiors in advance.
"good!"
"I can rest assured that you will do the work."
When the two parted, Huang He originally wanted to invite the other party to join the observation group in a few days to appreciate the true strength of the Eighth Route Army up close.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that the decision made at the meeting just now was slightly inappropriate. After all, it was almost December.
"Old Dai, you have to leave quickly! You must leave the Republic of China within a week and take a boat back to Africa as soon as possible, otherwise you have to be prepared to live in Taiyuan for a period of time."
As soon as these words came out, the French friend showed a solemn expression.
Although the Free, Leading the British, and Ugly countries do not have accurate information, there are various signs that Japan will definitely make a series of big moves in the days to come.
Huang He's reminder, Lao Dai took it for granted that it was some news or speculation from the Eighth Route Army.
With the idea that his allies would never lie to him, he made a decisive decision.
"Okay, I will go find your senior management now and try to reach the mountain city tonight. The rest of the journey depends on whether the preserved fruit can help."
“Take care along the way!”
······
The perspective comes to the temporary station of the 1st Marine Regiment, thirty kilometers west of Baotou.
"Commander, look, this is a city defense map obtained by the first battalion. Don't worry, the source of the information is absolutely reliable."
"There is less than one brigade of Japs in the city now, and the number of puppet troops is only a few hundred. With the combat effectiveness of our regiment, we can definitely win the important military town in front of us."
"At the same time as we are attacking, I am going to encircle the area and provide reinforcements, trying to wipe out the remaining troops stationed in the Mongolian army in one fell swoop."
As we all know, Captain Li is never a person who can take time off.
After successfully rescuing seven and a half of the remaining troops, the entire 1st Marine Regiment inserted itself between Guisui and Baotou from the Houtao area.
They not only obeyed the orders of their superiors, but also wreaked havoc on railways and transportation lines behind the enemy's rear, causing the remaining troops stationed in Mongolia to have no peace all day long.
They even used their initiative and sent a small group of elite troops into the city for investigation.
The intelligence Xing Zhiguo just mentioned came from the internal intelligence developed by the First Battalion in the city.
After hearing the report from his deputy captain, Li Yunlong strode to his side, and then began to think about the next action plan based on the hand-drawn map.
"Hey, God has eyes! Sure enough, I won't let my trip go in vain."
"Let me tell you, when we, Lao Li, were in the New Second Regiment, we used to be road warriors all day long. Now that we are all directly under the headquarters, we can't continue to compete with the railways!"
"Pass my order. When the second battle of Xinkou begins, the first battalion, the second battalion and the combat maneuver company will immediately attack the city with me! The third battalion is responsible for eating the Japanese who come for reinforcements! Try to end the battle within two days!"
"yes!"
Just as the correspondent was about to convey the order, Zhao Gang walked into the command room holding a telegram.
Although Lao Zhao missed the meeting just now, he knew what had just happened just by looking at his partner's expression and demeanor.
After hesitating for a moment, the scholar said with some regret:
"Old Li, there's a call from headquarters."
"The deputy commander-in-chief asked the 1st Marine Regiment to build a field airport immediately and return to Taiyuan to rest and recuperate as soon as possible. In the second Battle of Xinkou, we need to cooperate with the Air Force to cut off the enemy's retreat."
"As for the equipment that cannot be taken away, our superiors suggested that we leave it to the remnants of the Eighth Theater. However, the tanks must be disposed of, and the troops stationed in Mongolia cannot be captured."
As soon as these words came out, Li Yunlong, who was still smiling, immediately turned into a bitter face.
Just give away ordinary paratrooper equipment. After all, the troops have rifles, submachine guns and machine guns. But the Cicada tanks of the Combat Mobile Company were different. Those had always been his pet peeve.
During this period, combat losses and non-combat losses combined accounted for half of the equipment. Now I have to take the initiative to give up the other half. Can this not make Captain Li uncomfortable?
Looking at his partner with an ugly face, Zhao Gang thought that the other party was distressed for Baotou, who was easily available, so he tried to persuade him:
"Old Li, as long as we kill the troops stationed in Mongolia, we can attack the city of Suiyuan at any time. It won't take a while."
"What's more, the deputy commander-in-chief said, good steel should be used on the blade. Things like sieges and street fighting are not suitable for special forces of our size."
"Time is running out, everyone pack up and leave quickly."
Although Zhao Gang didn't get the idea right, Li Yunlong quickly adjusted his mood.
With the production capacity of its own military factory, dozens of ultra-light tanks are naturally a problem. If you run out of equipment, you can immediately replenish it as long as you return to the base.
The orders from superiors are the most important!
After a while, he gave an order to the battalion commanders:
"Pass my order! The 1st and 2nd Battalions, send people to assist the engineer platoon in building the field airport. Sun Desheng, drive your company's tanks over to press the road and use the last remaining heat."
"The third battalion is responsible for the security work around the construction site. If there is any disturbance, please report it in time!"
I'll correct the typo after I wake up. Good night.
