Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At this moment, the meeting of officers above the chiefs of staff of the various units and regiments affiliated to the Southeast Mobile Corps has been held. Commander Major General Ma Chaoyang has basically set the tone for the huge casualties suffered by the Ninth Brigade and the offensive troops. The forward commander of the Corps is responsible for  No one will be held responsible for leadership responsibility, down to the brigade commander and below. In fact, this is not Ma Chaoyang's mistake of appeasing his traitors and shielding his subordinates. The offensive orders and tactics adopted came from him, the commander of the corps, so of course he must bear the responsibility.  .

    The protagonist of today's incident, Major General Hao Jiasheng, commander of the 9th Brigade, could not sit still. If the commander gave him a harsh lecture, even in front of many officers, he would feel better. However,  The commander takes over all the responsibilities, how can he accept it?

    Hao Jiasheng suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Report to the commander, I have a different opinion in my humble position. I command the ninth brigade. When the commander of the second regiment proposed to suspend the attack and adjust tactics, it was I who ordered the second regiment to do so at any cost.  We must continue to attack, so I am the one directly responsible, you cannot take all the responsibility on yourself! I am willing to take all the responsibilities and accept the punishment from the Cross-Sea Battle Command and the division commander!" His tone was very exciting.

    Ma Chaoyang couldn't help but frown slightly, stared at Hao Jiasheng for a while, and said: "Hao Jiasheng, I said, it is not the responsibility of the commanders at all levels below, don't you understand? At the combat review meeting of your Ninth Brigade,  What did you say to the commander of your team, "Are they all Liangshan heroes?"  "

    Hao Jiasheng swallowed and sat down reluctantly. Ma Chaoyang said: "The second question is about the Corps' new Mokpo combat plan. Let's discuss it. The core gist of this new combat plan is to use Mokpo  The attack group plus the three brigades of the Gunsan attack group, a total of ten brigades, fought a war of attrition on the Mokpo battlefield with the Japanese and Korean garrison troops, more than 200,000 troops gathered on the line from Busan to Mokpo. Below,  Ask the Chief of Staff to read out the battle plan and then discuss it!¡±

    Chief of Staff Xu Guangqi stood up, opened the folder, and read out the newly formulated combat plan in a leisurely but clear voice. The specific plan is as follows.  Starting at dawn the day after tomorrow, the second line of defense against the Japanese troops in Mokpo will begin.  Launch an all-out attack.  The firepower deployment is based on the two artillery brigades shipped from the Shandong Peninsula and will arrive tomorrow morning, coupled with the existing small and medium-caliber artillery, to form six artillery groups to provide effective artillery support for the offensive forces.  Suppress the Japanese artillery and look for opportunities to destroy it!

    The naval guns of the naval fleet provide long-range artillery support. In principle, they are used in the direction of the frontal attacking troops.  The aviation bomber force will also coordinate with the two tank brigades of the armored force that will also arrive tomorrow morning. They will be dispersed to each brigade in regiments to provide cover for the attacking forces and minimize the casualties of the troops.

    The offensive deployment is that the three brigades of the Marine Corps, the 10th, 11th, and 12th brigades, will launch across the board and attack the Japanese positions from different fronts. The specific tactics are that each brigade will have no more than three troops per attack.  Battalion, tanks are one battalion, maintain the maximum offensive gap, do not aim at seizing Japanese positions, but at luring the Japanese fire points to be exposed, annihilate the effective Japanese forces, and hand them over to the bomber group, regimental artillery group and naval gun group, the 9th Brigade  For the general reserve team for the battle.

    Xu Guangqi said: "This is a battle plan determined by the commander and staff after careful study. It can be said to be a new way of fighting for our corps. How to control the heat will put considerable pressure on the Japanese army.  To force the Japanese commanders to continuously add troops to the second line of defense, and to minimize the casualties of the attacking troops, and to prevent the Japanese from seeing through our intentions, it is very important to the command and judgment of each brigade commander.  !¡±

    At this time, Ma Chaoyang interjected: "Of course, the plan is dead, but the people are alive. If there is a chance to break through the Japanese army's position, then break in directly and attract the Japanese army to repeatedly fight for the breakthrough. Everyone may be surprised that we have absolute  Air supremacy, a huge group of bombers, and the two newly arrived heavy artillery brigades, two tank brigades, and the fire support of large-caliber naval guns from more than a dozen warships on the sea, why not break through in one go?  The Japanese army took the second position directly to Mokpo and rushed to Gwangju and Busan? "

    "Also, the three brigades in the Gunsan direction will reach the Mokpo battlefield in two days. Why not attack Gwangju and Busan and stab the little Japanese in the side so that the Japanese troops in the Mokpo direction will not receive reinforcements?  , wouldn¡¯t this battle be better! In other words, a large-scale annihilation battle! Tens of thousands of little devils, this is not a small thing!¡±

    The officers all smiled and nodded with deep understanding. The commander's words were exactly what they had in mind. As far as the Mokpo battlefield is concerned, whether it is in the air, at sea, or on the ground, our troops and firepower have an absolute advantage.  What are you still bothering about???Break through the second line of defense of the Japs and capture Mokpo directly. The 60,000 to 70,000 Japs in Mokpo are a lot of fat, aren't they?

    But the commander's new battle plan is to fight repeatedly with the Japs on the second line of defense of the Japanese army. It is not aimed at breaking through. When this battle starts, the hands will be tied up. The heat is very difficult to control. For example, if  One of the troops, with only two battalions, broke through the Japanese defense line. The other troops were still attacking. There was only one breakthrough point in the entire line. Do you think this breakthrough point should be defended or not?

    If we defend, the strength of the two battalions will withstand the counterattack of several times or even more than ten times the strength of the Japanese army. Needless to say, everyone present is a veteran. I know very well what the consequences will be. The commander has said that there will be no follow-up troops.  Support, if not defend, then why bother to break through Baal?  After repeated battles for positions, the casualties paid by the attacking side will always be greater. Isn¡¯t the gain outweighed by the losses?

    Ma Chaoyang saw the reactions of the officers and was not surprised. At this time, Chief of Staff Xu Guangqi also finished reading out the battle plan. Ma Chaoyang said: "I know you have doubts about fighting such a battle.  It's not a thankless task, but what I want to tell you is, don't forget that the core gist of this combat plan is to use our absolute superiority in sea, land and air firepower to consume a large amount of the Japanese army's effective forces to achieve the goal of annihilating the enemy in the wild!  "

    "Our appetite cannot just be focused on the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula. Think about it, everyone. Our offensive is fierce and we are ready to eat Mokpo in one bite. The Japanese troops on the front lines in Gwangju and Busan will definitely come back for reinforcements. We are still fighting fiercely. The Japanese army will definitely  What will happen if I can¡¯t stand it anymore?¡±

    "Yes, I will ask for help from Japan. Well, my ten brigades, with sufficient logistical support and superior sea, land and air firepower, are in Mokpo, fighting against the Japanese to provide Japanese reinforcements to the Korean Peninsula. Then,  Reinforcement of troops in other places will be tight. In this sense, it directly supports the Northeast battlefield. Thinking further, if the little devils allocate all the domestic troops, we will break into the little devils¡¯ lair in the future.  Time, wouldn¡¯t it save a lot of effort!¡±

    Oops, Ma Chaoyang's words opened a window for the officers who participated in the meeting. It became clear to their hearts that we were fighting a war of attrition with the Japs in Mokpo on the Korean Peninsula. Not only did we support the Northeast battlefield, but we also prepared for the future.  Breaking into the little devil's lair has laid the foundation. There is no doubt about it. Let's do it!

    "Wow!" Warm applause rang out, and Ma Chaoyang smiled. In fact, Ma Chaoyang himself was guessing about the latter effect, but he could feel the division commander's overall strategic vision, to regain the Northeast and seize the Korean Peninsula.  It is by no means the ultimate goal of the division commander. In the Far East, the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force was held back by Deputy Commander Liu's East Command troops. That was another piece of fat in the eyes of the division commander!

    What happens after eating the fat meat from the Japanese soldiers in the Far East?  Ma Chaoyang could not imagine that the division commander's next target would be other areas. It could only be the Japanese archipelago, the home base of the Japs. Then his plan was to consume Japan's domestic war potential in advance. The division commander did not specify that Southeast  This can be analyzed by the mobile corps taking over the entire Korean Peninsula within a limited time, which is also the confidence for Ma Chaoyang to formulate a new combat plan.

    Of course, if the division commander does not approve his new combat plan, it will not disrupt the deployment. It will simply give the three brigades from the direction of Gunsan an order to continue attacking Gwangju and Busan, and the troops from the Mokpo direction will increase their offensive intensity.  , if more troops are invested, it can be solved.

    The officers were excited and eager to give it a try. Ma Chaoyang took a sip of water and asked: "If anyone has different opinions, feel free to speak up. Is this a discussion today?"

    Hao Jiasheng, commander of the 9th Brigade, stood up and said loudly: "Commander, I have an opinion!"

    Ma Chaoyang glared at him and said angrily: "Why is it you Hao Jiasheng again! If you have any opinions, please tell me!"

    Hao Jiasheng said: "Commander, I have no objection at all to the new combat plan formulated by the Corps. What I do have an objection to is regarding the deployment of troops. Why was our ninth brigade adjusted from the position of the main offensive force?  As a battle reserve, does it mean that just because of the losses in the daytime battle, our ninth brigade has lost the qualification to carry out the main attack and is a disabled unit that can no longer shoulder important tasks? "

    As soon as Hao Jiasheng finished speaking, Qi Guodong stood up. Immediately, all the officers of the Ninth Brigade who participated in the meeting stood up and said in unison: "Commander, please consider that the Ninth Brigade can still carry out the main attack."  !¡±

    Ma Chaoyang looked at the red-headed and flushed Hao Jiasheng, and then at the officers of the 9th Brigade who were standing upright with unwilling expressions on their faces. He burst into laughter and said, "Hey Hao Jiasheng, what's going on? Take your men with you."  Are these soldiers forcing the palace?"
