Chapter 306 Prerequisites for landing!  “Extend your life?” Meng Fangliao heard a slightly different meaning from these two words. "Did you do it on purpose?" "Eh? Did you just find out?" Cun Yunsheng replied angrily, did this guy just find out? If I hadn't done it on purpose, would I have given the Germans a resource map? To extend the life of the Germans is nothing more than to hope that they can survive. "Sir, you are walking on a tightrope. You might have a problem one day." Meng Fanlai said still worried. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng did not refute, but said with a smile. "So, we must take advantage of the contradictions between the great powers to obtain the greatest benefits. Now that the German army is declining, we must find ways to enhance their strength and give them the determination to continue to compete. Otherwise, if they continue to decline, they will definitely not be able to persist. " "I originally thought that the oil fields in Persia would give the enemy a shot in the arm, but the Germans were not fooled. Instead, the Soviets couldn't help but become greedy and sent troops south. This is something I didn't expect."

"To be honest, the development of the situation now even exceeds my expectations." Hearing this, Meng Fanglia immediately came back to his senses and looked at Cun Yunsheng fiercely. "Is this the real reason why you submitted the Nanyang Task Force plan to Stilwell?" "Yes, it's not that stupid. I was still thinking about it. You don't know how long it will take you to guess it." "I didn't expect to guess it so quickly. Yes, yes, your experience during this period has improved your strategic vision a lot." Cun Yunsheng said with great satisfaction. "How about it? Are you interested in leading troops? It may be difficult to make a division commander, but it should be no problem to make a brigade commander." This is the truth. Meng Fan is not a fool. During this period of time, Cun Yunsheng has been keeping him by his side, instilling strategic vision and so on. Now Meng Fanle's vision is definitely several times stronger than that of most people. Even at the level of world strategy, even Zhang Fakui is inferior to the other party. Failure to become a teacher is due to lack of qualifications, not lack of ability. "Forget it, I'll just work as a communications soldier for you. It's pretty good." Meng Fanglia rejected the other party's proposal. "So are you preparing for a quick battle to deal with the Japanese army in Nanyang?" "It's not that easy to win a quick victory." Cun Yunsheng nodded at first, but then sighed with emotion. "Not to mention anything else, just landing on Luzon Island gave me a huge headache during this period." "First of all, our officers do not understand the geographical environment of Luzon Island. In this regard, I have asked General Stilwell to start searching for information. I believe there will be no problem." "The second is the enemy's defenses and troop distribution. We don't know anything at all now. These all need to be investigated." "This is just preliminary preparation." "So Dong Dao's reconnaissance battalion has been strengthening landing training during this period? So are you planning to let him lead troops to land on the island to investigate the Japanese troop deployment?" Meng Fanla suddenly remembered that Dong Dao had received an order not long ago to let the reconnaissance The battalion prepares to land on the island for training. Only now did I realize that Cun Yunsheng had already started making preparations.

"We have to change the name. From now on we will call it the Special Operations Brigade." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile. "It's equivalent to regiment-level establishment." Seeing Meng Fanglia's confused expression, Cun Yunsheng explained. "In addition, landing on Luzon Island requires at least 5 to 8 divisions of troops, including infantry, armor, artillery and other arms." "My preliminary estimate of the total number of people should be around 100,000-150,000." Meng Fanglia was really shocked when he heard that 100,000 people were needed. This is not one group, but two groups. But one hundred thousand people. This is really scary. Logistics alone can make people collapse. "How can we have so many ships?" Meng Fanxiao hesitated for a while and then said. "This is just a troop carrier. It also requires a powerful naval fleet, including transport ships, destroyers, frigates, etc., to provide sea cover and transportation support." "Now you know why I would rather spend 300 million yen to capture Siam and the French Indochina Navy?" Cun Yunsheng knew that when he used money to trade with the Japanese Fourth Division, Meng was annoyed but always disagreed. I even thought that in the end I would beat a dog with a meat bun. Later, when the fleet was obtained, it was not very optimistic. Because it is really a gold-swallowing behemoth. Most of the military expenditures obtained were spent on the navy. Otherwise, how could banknotes and tickets coexist. Don't you just want to save some military expenses and use it to support the navy? It wasn’t until now when I needed to land in Luzon that I really understood. It turns out that this was all planned a long time ago. "I thought your words to Stilwell were just to fool him." Meng Fanxiao scratched his head in embarrassment. "Three points for cheating and seven points for seriousness. As I said before, the more chips we win, the more cake we will share after victory." Cun Yunsheng said meaningfully. "These foreigners measure others based on whether they are strong enough. Only when they are strong enough will they look at us." "Those people in the mountain city don't even think about how to improve their strength. Do they think that saying a few nice words to foreigners will make others look at us favorably?" "dream." "Now it's our turn to flex our muscles, and it's time to let those foreigners know that Nanyang is not their decision." The reason Cun Yunsheng was able to gain the trust of everyone in the cannon fodder group was because he always spoke so encouragingly.

Like a fishing boat that has lost its way, it brings them a glimmer of light. This is the reason why the members of the cannon fodder group have been willing to follow Cun Yunsheng. Because in Zenda, they are cannon fodder that is not looked down upon by others, and they are only worthy of eating grass. Here, they have human dignity. "Sir, the navy alone is not enough, right?" Meng Fanglia knew it would never be that simple. If it were that simple, would Cun Yunsheng be so sad? "Yes, the navy is only the most important part of the military force. In addition to these, a certain amount of air force is also needed." "The purpose is to seize air superiority and bomb enemy targets." "There are still many Japanese fighter planes on Luzon Island. These are hidden dangers. The damage caused by fighter planes to the fleet is still great, so we must have a strong air force. Fortunately, our air force currently has more than a hundred pilots. During this period, There are dozens of repaired fighter jets.” "The current number of fighter jets exceeds hundreds, but it is still not enough." "At least two hundred fighter planes are needed to completely control the air. This is assuming that the Japanese army does not draw fighter planes from other battlefields." "According to my plan, at least 500 fighter planes can guarantee absolute air supremacy. Even if the Japanese army sends reinforcements, there is no need to worry." "But based on the production efficiency of the military factory, I'm afraid we won't be able to get so many fighters together for a while." "But the Germans have promised to provide some aircraft parts. I believe this problem should be solved." "In addition, Stilwell said he would provide a batch of fighter jets, so we should be able to gather so many fighter jets." In fact, Goldfinger can provide up to 25 P-51 fighter jets per month. In two months, not to mention 500 fighter jets, at least two to three hundred fighter jets should be no problem. Moreover, they are all fighter jets with excellent performance, crushing Japanese fighter jets. Definitely able to firmly hold the air control in his hands. As for landing operations, you need to land in batches. The vanguard should include elite infantry and armor units to quickly establish a beachhead and advance inland. Follow-up troops followed up one after another to consolidate and expand the occupied area. In addition, sufficient logistics supply troops need to be equipped to ensure the supply of materials for the landing troops. Therefore, the landing operation seems simple, but in fact it is very difficult and requires many things to be considered. It would be best to contact the guerrillas on the island. With their help, the landing may be smoother. Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but rub his head and asked. "How is the training of the first batch of arriving troops?" "We are currently conducting sea swimming training. There are no professional landing ships. I'm afraid we can only use fishing boats to land on the beach, or just swim down. It is said that there is a lot of noise." Meng Fangliao explained. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng couldn't say anything because his background was weak. …

Qiongzhou Island, the commander of the 70th Regiment of the 12th Division, Qian Zhengqingzheng, is leading the soldiers of the regiment to train intensively. They are the troops responsible for the mission of landing on the island. Qian Zhengqing also didn't expect that he, a miscellaneous group leader, would suddenly become the main group leader. This is the Standard Art Group. There are more than three thousand people. According to the original organization of the 12th Division, one division, two brigades and four regiments were formed, which was a miscellaneous series. Cun Yunsheng directly canceled the brigade-level establishment, thus simplifying the command hierarchy. It actually improved Cun Xingxing's command level. After all, he only had to command two brigades before, but now he directly commands four regiments. In addition to the four infantry regiments, there are also artillery regiments, armored regiments, anti-aircraft artillery regiments, divisional reconnaissance battalions, communications battalions, engineer battalions, field hospitals, etc. According to Cun Yunsheng's structure, the strength of a division has reached 30,000. To be honest, this is indeed a great challenge for Cun Xingxing. However, Cun Yunsheng seemed very calm and told him not to panic, because with his support behind him, nothing would happen. On the training ground, the sun was high and the heat was unbearable, but the enthusiasm of the soldiers did not diminish at all. Next to Qian Zhengqing is the US military adviser, Major Ryan. At this moment, he was standing on the high platform of the training ground, looking at the soldiers' every move seriously and intently. "All of you, stand at attention!" A roar echoed across the playground. The soldiers quickly straightened their bodies and moved in unison. Seeing this, Qian Zhengqing couldn't help but feel satisfied. Some time ago, these soldiers were extremely lazy. After these days of training, my energy and spirit are completely different. Taking a deep breath, Qian Zhengqing said loudly: "Soldiers, we are about to face a difficult landing mission. This island is of great strategic significance to us, and whether we can successfully capture it depends on The results of our training here.” "I hope that in the coming days, you will train strictly and practice every action and every tactic over and over again until it becomes your instinctive reaction." Qian Zhengqing's voice was sonorous and powerful, and the soldiers listened quietly, with firm and persistent eyes. "Yes, sir!" the soldiers responded in unison, their voices resounding through the sky. "Major Lai En, I'll leave them to you." Qian Zhengqing nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and said to the US military adviser beside him. "Okay, Colonel, I promise to train them into great boys." Major Ryan nodded. The first is physical training. The soldiers carry heavy backpacks and run on the playground.

Their clothes were soaked with sweat, but their pace never stopped. "Hey guys, speed up. You must have a strong body to rush to the shore as fast as possible." "You have to go faster than the waves of the water." "Come on, boys! Don't let this difficulty get you down!" The US military instructors kept scolding, but the language was not that unpleasant. "You **** thing, you haven't eaten yet. Hurry up and run for me. We're going to have braised pork for lunch today. You're not allowed to eat until you finish training." Compared with the US military instructor's scolding, Qian Zhengqing's words instantly made these soldiers scream and speed up. Next comes tactical training. The soldiers were divided into groups and simulated landing on the island. "Pay attention to cover and advance alternately!" "You must listen to the command, and you must not whisper to each other. You are the squad leaders and the backbone. You must strictly implement the training outline." "Did you hear that?" "Yes, sir." The soldiers followed the instructions and acted quickly and orderly. "Remember, on the battlefield, a small mistake may lead to the failure of the entire operation, and even cost you your life!" "Do it again!" The soldiers did not complain at all and immediately resumed the drill. After the tactical training is over, there is practical weapons training. Because it was the first time for many soldiers to come into contact with fine equipment, everyone was very serious about learning how to use various weapons. "Aim at the target, breathe steadily, and gently pull the trigger." The instructor patiently guided. "Da da da..." "Hold on, don't be anxious, it's a waste of bullets." "We are going to the island to fight, and we will not carry many weapons and ammunition, so we must ensure the continuity of firepower." The landing operation is really a logistical challenge. It requires transporting people and supplies. It is impossible to turn over such a small amount of tonnage. So during this period, there were two voices on the training ground. Major Ryan believed that ammunition consumption did not matter at all. Because marksmanship is all trained on ammunition. Nothing wrong!

But something to consider is that they don't have enough navy. There is not much support that the US military can give. Doesn’t Qian Zhengqing know that marksmanship is fed by ammunition? But why don't you agree? Isn't it because the situation is different? If the US military is willing to limit the supply of ammunition, he will certainly not care about ammunition consumption. The training intensity is already very high now. "Their skills are becoming more and more proficient, and their teamwork is becoming more and more tacit. It won't be long before they can go to the battlefield." Major Ryan said. “They’re a really good bunch of lads.” There are updates! Originally I was going to rest for two days and then resume two updates, but something went wrong again. I just adjusted it today! Too lazy to care! ​ ​ (End of chapter)
