    On the day Tang Qiuquan arrived at Mokpo, he immediately held a military meeting attended by the brigade commanders of the participating troops. He focused on listening to the introduction of the new plan for the Mokpo campaign by Major General Ma Chaoyang, commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps.

    Finally, Ma Chaoyang said: "Commander Tang, the time for the attack is scheduled to start at dawn tomorrow. At that time, the aviation bomber force will bomb the second line of defense of the Japanese army in Mokpo for an hour. Then, the naval gun and ground artillery will  After the bombardment for forty minutes, the infantry began to attack under the cover of tanks. The number of troops dispatched by each brigade in one attack was kept within two battalions. "

    "The purpose of this is to put great pressure on the Japanese commanders. Our troops seem to be attacking across the board, but the troop density within the unit area is extremely low. The Japanese artillery fire and fortification firepower cannot cause effective damage.  This is also the strategy we learned from the heavy casualties suffered by the Ninth Brigade in the Mokpo landing battle. After the Japanese army started to counterattack, the attack stopped immediately! "

    "Then, use bombers, naval guns, and ground artillery to carry out secondary bombing and artillery shelling of the Japanese positions. Repeatedly, let that little devil commander Tanaka Shinichi continue to add troops to the positions. In this way, we can achieve the victory in Mokpo  The purpose of killing a large number of Japanese troops in the wild is the core of the plan. Please correct me, Commander!"

    Tang Qiuquan smiled and said: "The plan that you, Ma Chaoyang, know has been carefully considered and interlocked. Even if it is flawless, I can still find any faults. However, I have some suggestions for your commanders' reference!  "

    Ma Chaoyang, including the brigade commanders below, all paid full attention when they heard that the new Korean Peninsula theater commander had to put forward opinions.  They knew that Commander Tang, the naval fleet commander sitting in front, thought he was an amateur even though he was now in charge of the independent division naval fleet. Before that, he thought he was an amateur.  But a brave general on the mainland followed the division commander from the Northeast to the Indo-China Peninsula. Commander Tang was the first detachment leader of the famous special operations detachment. His opinions must be valuable!

    ??????? Look away from Ma Chaoyang.  The dozen or so brigade commanders all looked nervous. Tang Qiuquan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm not finding fault. My suggestion is to shorten the bombing time of the bomber force to thirty minutes. Naval and ground artillery  The time of the bombardment is increased to one hour, but it is divided into two times. The first bombardment is thirty minutes after the bombing ends. The second bombardment is separated from the first by twenty minutes. The time of the two bombardments is the same.  !¡±

    "We all have questions. Everyone knows very well that our bomber force will bomb thousands of heavy aerial bombs in one bombing. If the bombing time is too long, all the Japanese troops on the position will be blown up, isn't it because there is no bait!  As for the timing of the bombardment, since it is to kill the Japanese troops, you have to give them time to prepare for the attack! It is not easy to control the heat if it hurts but not kills them!"

    The officers were stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Everyone understood and thought to themselves.  "Commander Tang was even more sinister. After the bombing and shelling, the Japanese army thought that the troops were about to start an attack. They would definitely come out of the underground bunker and enter the surface fortifications to prepare for the attack. At this time, there would be another shelling.  After all this hard work, I guess there won¡¯t be many little Japs left on the battlefield!¡±

    Ma Chaoyang rubbed his hands happily, "Commander Tang, do you have any other instructions?"

    Tang Qiuquan continued: "Since the Japanese army's effective strength will be consumed in the Mokpo battlefield, this means that the Mokpo battlefield will be a long-term war of attrition. All troops must be mentally prepared. There is no need for all troops to tighten their strings.  We must be tight and relaxed. Since it is a battalion-scale attack, there are too many troops to move around, so we can only watch the fun. Isn¡¯t it so anxious?¡±

    "So, I suggest that each brigade dispatch two regiments every day to conduct continuous attacks. One battalion fights once and is immediately replaced by another battalion. This cycle continues to maintain the momentum of the new offensive, while the other two regiments rest and sleep.  , recharge your batteries, let¡¯s give the Japanese army a modern version of a wheel war!¡±

    "Coax!" The officers laughed loudly, almost lifting the roof of the tent, and then there was a storm of applause. Ma Chaoyang's face lit up with excitement. Commander Tang's suggestion was the finishing touch.  It was really wonderful, a modern version of wheel fighting, which definitely boosted the mood. He took the lead in applauding, and his palms almost turned red.

    After the applause and laughter subsided, Tang Qiuquan continued: "Now, please ask Chief of Staff Xin to announce the latest order from the division commander!"

    Xin Xiguo walked up to the front desk and said solemnly: "Order!" The officers below stood up in unison, "According to the division's telegram, starting today, the three Marine Corps brigades that have reinforced the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula will withdraw immediately.  Fight, return to the original organizational structure, and go to Gaizhou and Andong on the Liaodong Peninsula to deploy defenses!"

    "Ah!" Marine Corps No. 3The brigade commander Chen Mengqiao, the second brigade commander Li Bohan, and the third brigade commander Xiao Jinting were all shocked. They were so surprised. Originally, the three brigades had received the main attack mission and were preparing to have a good fight tomorrow, but suddenly  After being transferred back to the original unit, when they came to the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula, the Marine Corps unit was unable to win any battles. How could it be explained to Commander Han when they returned like this?

    The three people looked at each other and saw each other's unwillingness. Chen Mengqiao shouted loudly: "Commander Tang, the two colleagues who represent the Marine Corps in humble positions have something to say!"

    Tang Qiuquan glanced over, "It's Chen Mengqiao. I know your temper. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

    Chen Mengqiao said excitedly: "Commander Tang, our three troops have made careful preparations from top to bottom for tomorrow's attack. The soldiers are also very energetic. If we don't fight, we will leave."  I can't explain it to the officers and soldiers below, and we, Commander Han, can't tell us when asked. Therefore, I humbly request to approve the Marine Corps to participate in tomorrow's battle, and then execute the order of the division commander and return to the Liaodong Peninsula!  "

    Tang Qiuquan did not immediately answer Chen Mengqiao's request for a fight, but asked Ma Chaoyang, "Commander Ma, what do you think?"

    Looking at Chen Mengqiao and the three men with expectant eyes, Ma Chaoyang knew what he had promised before. When he launched another attack on the Japanese position, the three brigades of the Marine Corps would serve as the main front-line attack force. He kept his promise.  , How can I break my promise, but I can't disobey the order from the division commander. I only feel regret. Now, seeing Commander Tang asking himself this, I feel that things can still turn around.

    "Commander Tang, I think it is unjustifiable that the Marine Corps troops came for reinforcements and did not fight a single battle. Besides, before you came, I had already issued an order that their troops would be the main attackers. The troops also followed this  As for those who were ordered to prepare, my opinion is that you can stay and fight for a while, and then return to the original organization!" Of course, Ma Chaoyang had to make his attitude clear, and he would also have something to say when he met Han Tie in the future.

    Tang Qiuquan smiled and said: "It seems that if I force the order, I am afraid that I will make you Chen Mengqiao dissatisfied. Well, I will send a telegram to the division commander to explain the matter and reinforce the three Marine Corps brigades on the Korean Peninsula battlefield.  , participate in tomorrow's battle and postpone the return to the construction site for one day! However, we can agree in advance that we are only allowed to fight this battle!"

    All day long on June 26, the troops of the Southeast Mobile Corps concentrated on the Mokpo battlefield were making careful preparations for the upcoming attack. The troops followed the combat plan and began to enter their respective attack starting points. They had already arrived at Mokpo.  Two heavy artillery brigades and two tank brigades also began to deploy.

    As the troops were being deployed, Tang Qiuquan presided over a military meeting attended by the top commanders of the aviation force, naval fleet, and ground forces. Major General Le Yiqin, commander of the Southern Flying Group of the aviation force and air commander of the Korean battlefield, and Ma Liang, commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps  Major General Chaoyang, Major General Wu Yaoting, commander of the 1st Armored Brigade and commander of the Korean Peninsula Armored Forces, Lieutenant Colonel Tang Yunfei, commander of the fleet's carrier-based aircraft, and others attended the meeting.

    The content of the meeting focused on studying the coordination of sea, air and ground firepower. The offensive participants in the meeting were all senior officers at the major general level. Tang Yunfei, a young lieutenant colonel, sat among a group of shining generals, more or less.  It was dazzling, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

    A few years have passed, Tang Yunfei has grown up, lost his youthful youth, and grown into a qualified carrier-based aircraft commander. Between his eyebrows, he is somewhat similar to his uncle Tang Qiuli, and his personality is also similar.  .

    He was an ordinary Army aviation fighter pilot, then became the chief of staff of a carrier-based fighter regiment, and is now the carrier-based aircraft commander of an aircraft carrier unit. However, although his position was promoted, his military rank was only promoted one level, from major to major.  He became a lieutenant colonel. According to his current level, he should be a colonel. As a lieutenant colonel, he felt awkward to command several colonels of the carrier-based aircraft regiment.

    However, the Fleet Political Affairs Office reported the promotion of Tang Yunfei to the Fleet Headquarters several times, but was suppressed by the Commander, Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan. There was only one reason: he still lacked training and qualifications, so he should not be promoted too quickly.

    Therefore, the identity of the independent division's number one and nephew of the third and fourth bosses not only did not bring any benefits to Tang Yunfei, but was suppressed all the time. Fortunately, without being promoted in military rank, Uncle Qiuquan let himself go to command the battle.  As for whether he is a lieutenant colonel or a colonel, it doesn't matter.

    Now, Tang Yunfei sat in the back row and listened for a long time. Everyone was studying the land aviation combat forces, ground forces, armored forces, fleet firepower, etc., but did not mention the carrier-based aircraft force.

    ??It¡¯s frustrating to say that since we entered the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula, the carrier-based aircraft unit has not landed a single combat mission. It was just a warning?Everyone had finished talking and wanted to break up the meeting. Tang Yunfei became anxious.
