Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

June 12, 1942, N4A First Division Headquarters.

As the saying goes, it takes brothers to fight tigers. In order to fully support the next stage of the airborne troops' combat plan, the border area decisively issued an order for cross-provincial joint operations to the Fourth Master in the south.

The specific telegram arrived at the Suzhong Military Region in the early morning of the next day.

"Division Commander, come and have a look! Taiyuan sent an urgent telegram that the friendly forces in the north have made another big move, and this time our main force will also participate in the war!"

Accompanied by a steady sound of footsteps, a handsome commander with obvious mixed-race features strode into the command post of the First Division.

This person is the Phoenix among the Four Masters, the only designated godfather of the gangs in Hubei and Jiangsu provinces, and the Brigade Commander Di who has to be called the ancestor even when Zhou Tai comes.

Hearing the joyful shouts of his capable general, 502, who was still looking at the map, put down the colored marker in his hand, and then said in a puzzled tone:

"Huh? Combat mission in the north? Could it be that the Qilu Military Region, the tiger in the forest, has made some big moves, and they are finally going to attack the 12th Army?"

"Don't keep me in suspense, bring the telegram here quickly."

"If we go north to support friendly forces, then I have to plan the dispatch and logistics of the troops. It's not an easy task for a large army to move out."

From 502's perspective, half of Henan Province has been liberated, and there is no need for support from the Suzhong Military Region in the short term.

The Chahar region borders the devils, and a large-scale war may break out at any time. However, we are in central China, a long way from the future battlefield, and even if we want to help, we can't reach it.

So excluding the wrong options, the final answer naturally surfaced: Shandong Province is about to start a war, and the army morale wizard is ready to send their first division to help out.

Facts have proved that 502's guess is basically correct in the general direction.

After entering the door of the combat conference room, Brigade Commander Di answered directly:

"The border area has ordered our division to send seven main regiments to arrive at the junction of Jiangsu and Shandong provinces on the 26th of this month. The general has specially emphasized that comrades should always be prepared for battle."

"The specific mission details are all in the telegram in my hand, you can take a look for yourself."

As soon as these words came out, the commander of the First Division immediately stood up from his seat. He took the telegram handed over by Brigade Commander Di, and then started to check it directly on the spot.

A few minutes later, 502 sighed silently.

He stretched out his right hand, and his five fingers first formed a claw, and then clenched his fist tightly.

"Seven main regiments, seven main regiments. It seems that with seven main regiments in hand, you can conquer the world! This mission is really not simple!"

"Pass my order to summon commanders above the group level to come to the division headquarters for a meeting."

Since the Southern Incident, N4A has made major adjustments to the organization of the troops.

Currently, the entire army has seven French-equipped infantry divisions with three brigades and nine regiments, and the main force has a total of 160,000 troops.

Unlike the original timeline, the current Fourth Master has not experienced the elite troops and simplified administration. Each main regiment is an elite with abundant martial virtues and eager to fight.

However, the above-mentioned troops are not without shortcomings.

Due to the lack of direct air force and large-caliber barreled artillery, the attack capability and field encounter strength of each division are slightly insufficient.

Once the enemy engages in fire with the Japanese division-level units on open terrain such as plains, it will be difficult to control casualties.

There is no way. The border area has not yet fully mastered the Longhai Line, and air transport alone cannot solve the fear of insufficient firepower of tens of thousands of troops.

Qualified pilots often require a long training cycle. Even if the aviation schools in various places recruit students to provide blood transfusions for the air force, it is difficult to form two more divisions in a short period of time.

This is why 502 is so worried. For a campaign-level commander who loves his soldiers like his own children, he really doesn't want his soldiers to fight under the triple pressure of land, sea and air unless it is a critical moment.

Just as everyone was thinking, a voice with a strong Sichuan dialect suddenly came from the door of the conference room.

"The heroic spirit penetrates the sun and the moon, and the heroic spirit moves the earth."

"The 12th Army of the Japanese in Shandong Province has long been a grasshopper after autumn. Unless the main force of the Combined Fleet and the Kwantung Army come to help at the same time, even the sky locusts can't save them."

"In my name, draft a reply, saying that the Suzhong Military Region will arrive at the target area on time and strive to create a more favorable situation for the battle in Shandong Province!"

Everyone looked at the source of the sound and saw a man wearing sunglasses, with a resolute face, walking into the combat conference room. The person who came was the only armored combat master of TG in Awakening the Brave Tiger: 501!

Seeing their own commander-in-chief coming to the scene in person, the comrades stood at attention and saluted, and gave up the main seat in the room.

After sitting down, the armored warfare master first used a pencil to outline a transportation line on the map, and then explained in a relaxed tone:

"Regarding the border area's orders, I know your concerns. You are just worried that the troops will run into the enemy's 32nd and 59th divisions head-on, right?"

"Don't worry, the border area and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters will naturally not miss anything that the Suzhong Military Region can think of."

"In order to strengthen the firepower and offensive capabilities of the First Division, I specially asked Lao Xu to transfer a field artillery regiment, a self-propelled rocket artillery regiment, an armored company and an anti-aircraft artillery company from Henan Province."

"How is it? Do you feel more at ease now? Seven main regiments cannot conquer everything, so what about seven infantry regiments, two artillery regiments and a support company?"

Hearing this, all the comrades present were delighted.

Especially Brigade Commander Di, whose handsome face showed a brilliant smile.

When the battle officially starts, the First Brigade will most likely be the vanguard of the large force's attack. By then, he can also experience the intensity of support at the level of artillery coverage.

Who doesn't like big and thick barreled guns as a soldier?

The firepower of the Eighth Route Army has been envied by the soldiers for a long time.

"Hehe, it's still you who has foresight. I don't want the 100 heavy machine guns last time. But please consider me for the choice of the main attack force."

Brigade Commander Di's self-recommendation immediately aroused the interest of the armored warfare master. Considering that the other party has a complete intelligence network, he thought for a moment and responded:

"Okay, anyway, your brigade has the strongest combat effectiveness in the First Division, so it's no problem to let you lead the attack."

"But this decision has nothing to do with the 100 heavy machine guns. You are not Li Yunlong, and I am not CG. We in N4A don't do telecommunications fraud."

"Haha, good! Thank you, commander-in-chief!" (End of this chapter)
