"After a week of attacks, the assault brigade has destroyed the lair of three little devils.
He killed the brigade commander and two regiment commanders of a Japs, and annihilated a total of 5 brigades of Japs.
It can be seen that our special operations tactics have begun to bear fruit. Next, Song Tiecheng will continue to carry out special operations according to this model. The radio reconnaissance team will be expanded in size. We will conduct long-term radio inspections from several key places at the same time to capture clues about the Japs headquarters. "
Gao Jianwu highly affirmed the work of the assault brigade at the summary meeting.
"The next thing I want to say is that in each defense zone, we need to strengthen the linkage work between early warning and the air force, and form a fast mobile force to be responsible for the anti-sneak attack and anti-infiltration work in the defense zone. Judging from the experience and lessons of previous operations, our troops did not respond quickly enough. , the little devil will escape.
The main composition of the mobile force is 4 tanks as the core of combat, and 2-3 companies of mechanized infantry as auxiliary. This ensures that this mobile force can be dispatched at any time in various defense areas. In terms of logistics, operation and maintenance must be done well, and sufficient supplies must be provided. Oil supply. "
The air commando team had just started training for the three major strategies he had formulated. There was no way this team would be able to engage in actual combat in a short period of time.
Only the special operations of the assault brigade and the regular bandit suppression work of each attack group can be carried out now. Judging from the current combat effects, the special operations of the assault brigade are still effective.
In the attack group defense zone where joint defense is carried out according to the area, it always feels like a half-step when facing the sneak attacks of the little devils. The little devils adopt the tactic of fighting and running, which is almost impossible for the attack group.
Although his men were diverse and came up with many counterattack tactics. For example, luring a snake out of a cave to ambush, lurking and waiting on the mountainous thoroughfares based on the map provided by Gao Jianwu, sending multiple small teams into the mountain to search, etc.
These methods are not very effective.
On the one hand, the little devils have become ghosts, and on the other hand, the land restructuring has indeed created a new group of hardcore traitors, who are informing the little devils.
The only thing that has made significant progress in conventional bandit suppression is the aerial reconnaissance part. Lu Xingguo and the others established an aerial reconnaissance team through the captured Little Japanese Baishi Command reconnaissance aircraft ki46-3. After short-term training and actual combat, they have completed The Air Force has carried out the preliminary construction work of a new branch of the Air Force.
There are daily patrols and early warnings from the air reconnaissance team. Now it has become very difficult for the little Japanese to launch a large-scale sneak attack.
Marching battles above the brigade level are completely invisible to the aerial reconnaissance team. Four Baishi Command reconnaissance aircraft ki46-3 patrol the mountainous area of Wanwan Island every day. Great progress has been made in reconnaissance.
Now for each defense zone, mobility capability is the current focus of strengthening, so Gao Jianwu held a special meeting. The main topic this time was to mobilize and dismantle the tank company to build a mechanized battalion for each key defense zone!
Based on the distance between the north and south ends of Wanwan Island, Gao Jianwu's initial plan was to use a defense area of about 50 kilometers, with each defense area having a mechanized battalion. Calculated in this way, there would be almost 12 mechanized battalions. The equipment and reinforcements originally brought from the beautiful country On top of the seizures at the back and some of the cars Gao Jianwu had packed up, it was barely enough.
"The mechanized battalion is really good. Basically, you can reach any place with a road in the defense zone in two hours." Zhao Dalei said. Hearing that a formal mechanized battalion was to be established, he had already been itching.
"But there are still many places where roads have not been built, which is a bit difficult."
"Dalei is right. There are still many places where we don't have a single road." Gao Jianwu nodded, "But we can't wait and rely on it. Each assault group must use its own subjective initiative. If there is no road, just build it by yourself." , There is a saying in our hometown that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. When transportation is developed, it will be easier for the local economy to develop."
"Now the assault group not only undertakes combat tasks, but also supports local construction. It is also an important task. Of course, there needs to be a balance here. The local government must also organize a certain amount of migrant workers to carry out road construction."
Since Gao Jianwu traveled through time, he has encountered wars and construction at the same time. Now that Wanwan Island has been taken back, of course it must be built well.
Although the conditions here are not very good now, only agriculture and fishery have been developed. Factories do not yet have the conditions for large-scale development. After all, most resources have been invested in the previous base areas.
"I understand." Zhao Dalei actually seemed to understand, but he did whatever Gao Jianwu said. When it came to building roads, he would lead his team and start working on it when he got back.
Nowadays, road construction is not the rigorous method of later generations. It means digging a highway and paving some gravel on the wrong side of the road. It does not involve the trouble of land acquisition. If there are enough people, it can cover one or two kilometers in a day.
The little devil's blockade and cage tactics back then were of no use in Gao Jianwu's opinion. Now he just wants to build roads in all directions, so that the role of the mechanized battalion can be brought into play immediately.
A mechanized battalion is enough to deal with an annihilation battle at the level of a small Japs brigade. Even if there are large groups of Japs above the regiment level, the mechanized battalion can protect itself and call for help on the spot.
The guards all over the countryside are now far more powerful than the traitor team composed of run-down landlords. Gao Jianwu is using the royal way to conquer the crooked ways.
...
Allied Forces Western Pacific Command.
"General Steven, can you mobilize the Southeast Task Force and persuade them to send troops to Ryukyu? If Ryukyu is captured, we will be able to attack the small mainland without any hindrance." We took revenge on Luzon Island. After the revenge, General Mike was in a good mood.
Although his troops suffered more blows on Luzon Island than in history, there are still nearly 100,000 little Japs hiding on the island to give the Allies a break from time to time.
But it was finally taken down in name.
What's more important is that the Little Japanese joint fleet was completely crippled. In the Nanyang islands, the Little Japanese no longer has the ability to compete with the Allied forces.
They were just hanging on, waiting for the Allies to eliminate them one by one.
But after tasting the benefits of leapfrog tactics, General Mike hopes to launch a ruthless attack on the Japanese homeland faster.
Now that Wanwan Island can do this, General Mike felt that it was not enough. He took Ryukyu and beat Xiao Benzi in the lower abdomen to relieve his hatred.
"This is impossible. The Southeast Task Force is now facing the threat of the remaining Japanese troops on Baywan Island. It is good to be able to ensure the security of most airports. We cannot ask for too much." General Steven Shaked his head.
"Wanwan Island is their homeland, so they are willing to go to the island and win it. Unless we declare that after Ryukyu is captured, it will also be regarded as their homeland, then there is a slight possibility." General Steven knows the Chinese people. He hadn't stayed in this land for so long just sitting around doing nothing.
General Steven has seen a lot of local customs, various warlords and oligarchs.
There are only a few things that can make the Chinese people fight hard, and General Steven doesn't think he can come up with them.
"Recognize Ryukyu as their homeland?" General Mike really started to think about the feasibility of this matter.
"Maybe we can't. Now we can publicly declare that those islands are their land. Is there any loss to us?"
Ah this? !
General Steven never thought that General Mike would be fooled into it.
Ryukyu and Bay Island have completely different properties.
Can this be lumped together and easily promised to others?
"No, no, no, General Mike, this is a serious issue. We cannot do what politicians decide." General Steven still declined.
"I personally think that the lives of the young men from the beautiful country are more important. If I can exchange those small islands for the chance of survival of 100,000 young men from the beautiful country, I will not hesitate to do it!" General Mike said seriously.
He is actually right, the beautiful country has always been like this, they calculate the gains and losses of battles like businessmen.
Moreover, General Mike's estimate was also very accurate. In the original time and space, the American army that captured Okinawa suffered a loss of more than 80,000 people! Lieutenant General Buckner, commander of the 10th Army and commander of the landing operations, was even killed!
If someone else's land could be exchanged for this victory, General Mike would definitely gain blood without losing any money.
General Steven was too embarrassed to say this, but he couldn't overcome General Mike's insistence. He asked Major General Smith to explore Gao Jianwu's tone.
...
"John, long time no see! Let's have a good drink tonight and we won't come home until we're drunk!" Gao Jianwu was a little surprised when he saw the busy Major General Smith coming to visit him in Taibei, but he didn't think about anything else.
Now Wanwan Island is like an unsinkable aircraft carrier. Many fighter planes from the Allied Hong Kong and Kowloon Air Force Bases have begun to move to Wanwan Island, ready to launch air strikes against the little Japanese in the north at any time!
"Gao, long time no see! It's always so pleasant to see old friends." Major General Smith was also very happy to see Gao Jianwu maintaining his enthusiasm for him as always.
"We hope to be able to fight side by side again soon. The days of fighting with you are the biggest memories in my life."
"Haha, John, you are so polite. I also enjoyed the time when we fought side by side in Southeast Asia. Although the situation was a bit difficult at the time, we still moved forward." Gao Jianwu smiled and welcomed Major General Smith into the reception room.
Let someone make a good pot of tea.
"I just need to talk to you about something, John. You know we are training an airborne force, but we don't have the aircraft to transport them. Can we get ten or eight transport aircraft like C-47 to let my airborne force Is it worthy of the name?" When Gao Jianwu caught Major General Smith, he didn't need to beat around the bush and just wanted to try fishing with a straight hook.
"Gao, frankly speaking, if it was before, you would have never had the chance, but now you have a great opportunity, maybe you can get it." Major General Smith is of course unqualified as a lobbyist.
But his frankness always allowed him to come back with Gao Jianwu with great success.
When Gao Jianwu heard this, his eyes lit up, as if he could catch another big fish? What kind of opportunity is it?
