Chapter 473: Supplies Arrived and Subsequent Operation Plan
The three days seemed like a tight and tense countdown. For the landing troops on Silver Moon Beach, this was an extremely critical and anticipated moment. Supply is the lifeline for any troop. It means the continuation of combat effectiveness and the possibility of survival. During the three long days of waiting, although the landing troops experienced many counterattacks by the New First Army, they all held the line of defense with their firm will and excellent tactics.
When the first rays of sunlight shone on Changxiong Port, the supply ships finally came into view. They docked steadily at the port and immediately began the intensive and orderly unloading work. Boxes of artillery and ammunition were carefully unloaded from the ship and loaded onto cars that had been waiting on the side. Food, gasoline and other necessities were also replenished one by one, and each one seemed extremely important.
At the same time, soldiers from the 29th Army of the Southern Military Region of China also landed. Their arrival injected new vitality into the landing troops. Their eyes were firm and their steps were powerful. They were obviously elites who had undergone rigorous training and multiple actual combat tests. The 101st Rocket Regiment of the Southern Military Region and that special missile unit brought new possibilities to the entire battle situation.
At the base camp on Silver Moon Beach, supplies were quickly distributed to various units. The soldiers excitedly checked their new weapons and equipment, with long-lost smiles on their faces. With these supplies, they will be able to better cope with the next battle and defend this hard-won position.
Meanwhile, the two amphibious transport ships were still quietly moored at the seashore, their guns ready to respond to the enemy's counterattack. The 306mm guns, like a guardian, gave the landing troops a great sense of security. Whenever the troops of the New First Army tried to approach, the roar of the guns would sound, and the shells would streak across the sky like meteors, landing on the enemy's positions, raising clouds of dust and flames.
During these three days, although the New First Army troops of Haoyue City tried to counterattack many times, they were unable to break through the defense line due to the tenacious resistance of the two Marine Corps combat divisions. Every attack was effectively repelled, and the morale of the New First Army gradually declined.
The landing troops, with their firm belief and strong fighting power, firmly held their positions. At this moment, with the arrival of supplies and the addition of reinforcements, it also means that the Chinese troops will go further into the inland of Liudao and eliminate the remaining forces of the Southern Government.
In the front-line combat command post, Chen Tong, the commander in charge of the Liudao Campaign, is calling for a meeting on the next combat plan. Chen Tong, the division commander of the Northwest Military Region, has become the commander of the Second Army of the Northwest Military Region under the continuous promotion of Su Zhengyang in two years. Su Zhengyang knows very well that Chen Tong's ability to lead troops is no less than Zheng Zeyu and Liu Chengxu, so he values Chen Tong very much. The Liudao Campaign is a test for Chen Tong.
"Our mission is to capture Haoyue City in the shortest possible time and provide a solid and reliable foothold for the large number of troops that follow. At the same time, we will build a temporary military airport near Haoyue City. Our air force will also officially land on the island soon to cooperate with the army and provide reliable firepower support, so as to capture Liudao as soon as possible and completely destroy the last hope of the Southern Government!"
"Liu Kong!"
"To!"
"You lead the 29th Army Assault Division as the vanguard and advance rapidly towards Haoyue City. Within two days, capture Changfeng and Cuizhu counties in the west of Haoyue City. The 151st Armored Division will continue to advance along the territory you have conquered and will eventually join you. Can you do it?"
"Please put it down, Commander. The Assault Division will complete the mission!"
"General Hu! Once Haoyue City is in danger, Huang Guangtai will definitely send reinforcements to support it. Haoyue City is not only the main city of Liuwan closest to Changxiong Port, but also an important industrial city of Liuwan. The remaining forces of the Southern Kingdom will not let it fall easily. What I have to do is to surround the point and attack the reinforcements, and wear down their manpower bit by bit. The important task of blocking the Southern Government's support troops will be handed over to you, the 29th Army."
"I understand, Commander!"
"Captain Wang, the president has high hopes for your 716th Missile Unit. I believe your V2 rockets will play a huge role in this war. You don't need to participate in specific combat operations. Just build a V2 rocket launch base near Silver Moon Beach. I will notify you at any time if there is any need."
Chen Tong looked at the major general division commander sitting on his right and spoke politely.
This man is called Wang Jinlin. He is a senior commander of a missile force specially summoned by Su Zhengyang after he obtained a large number of V2 rockets from the system. In addition to his outstanding talents, he is also very capable of leading troops in battle. The Battle of Liudao will be the first appearance of the V2 rocket in this world. Su Zhengyang will send the 2th Division, which had just been established for two years, to Liuwan Island in order to test the effectiveness of the V missile in actual combat.
"In this battle, we must not only take down the remnants of the Southern Government that have betrayed the country, betrayed the people, and colluded with Fuso, but we must also eradicate this cancer, Huang Guangtai, and take his head as a warning!" Chen Tong stood in front of the huge military sand table, his face solemn and his voice sonorous and powerful.
He pointed his fingers on the sand table, demarcating the combat areas for each unit, and every instruction was carefully considered to ensure accuracy. The entire combat plan seemed to have formed a perfect picture in his mind, waiting to be put into practice.
Chen Tong knew that this battle was not just a military action, but also a great opportunity for him to show Su Zhengyang his ability and loyalty. He remembered Su Zhengyang's appreciation and kindness in his heart and was determined to repay him with practical actions.
"Our goal is not only to win, but also to let the Fuso people know that our Chinese iron-blooded army cannot be easily provoked by them! We want to let the world see how the true king's army is invincible and victorious on the battlefield!" Chen Tong's words were full of confidence and decisiveness.
As the combat plan gradually unfolded, the various troops began to act in a tense and orderly manner.
Under Chen Tong's precise command, the entire battle situation seemed to be under his control. He always paid attention to every dynamic on the battlefield and constantly adjusted and improved the battle plan.
He wants to use this battle to prove to the world the strength and determination of the Chinese army.
On March 9, the 16th year of the Republic of China, at dawn, the sky was filled with smoke. As the morning light fell, the army troops set foot on this land filled with smoke, their boots stepped over the soft sand, but with firm determination and unshakable will.
The first large-scale battle of the Chinese troops after landing on Liudao officially broke out, and the 1st Marine Division began to advance towards Haoyue City.
