Chapter 158
"Here, they are here!" Chen Shitou screamed excitedly. He had never seen such a large-scale crew before. The surging and spectacular momentum really made him feel excited.
..
Two guides in yellow vests at the airport stood on both sides of the runway, waving the green flags in their hands to guide the airplane group.
The air fleet began to re-form, and the large cluster formation began to disperse, just like a large map suddenly scattered into tiny puzzles. The free group of two and three flight mechanisms began to gradually lower the altitude in an orderly manner and glided towards the location of the airport runway.

The sounds of friction between the aircraft tires and the cement floor are endless, and one plane after another lands at the airport.
When each plane lands and stops sliding inertially, a large number of ground crew members from the Blue Eagle Flight Brigade troops forward and pushes the plane to both sides of the airport runway as soon as possible, freeing up the runway for the next batch of planes to land.
This time, the planes that transferred from Yiyuan Airport to this place include not only 100 Aiko DH.4 bombers, 15 Fokk DR.1 fighters, and 5 Salmsson 2A2 reconnaissance aircraft, a total of 120 aircraft, which is huge in scale. This is definitely the most powerful air force in the Far East.
Watching one plane after another landing, all the officers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance present were honored and proud of their own possession of such a powerful aircraft fleet.
Especially the soldiers of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance outside the airport were extremely shocked. These peasant soldiers had never seen such a spectacular scene, and they all waved their hands to the crowd in the sky. For the first time, they felt that even in the face of the powerful foreign army, they were not afraid at all.
After all the planes landed on the airport, Chen Yifan immediately gathered all the pilots, shouted the command to complete the team, and then trotted to Wang Mo, stood attentively and saluted: "Report to the commander, 120 pilots from the Blue Eagle Flight Brigade were ordered to arrive, please instruct!"
Wang Mo raised his hand and replied, and then said, "The officers above the squadron leader went to the headquarters to attend the military intelligence meeting. The other pilots were disbanded and rested, and were ready to join the war!"
"Yes!" Chen Yifan responded, then turned around and disbanded the flight brigade's team. He led three squadron leaders to the headquarters closely followed Wang Mo and others.
When they walked into the military information conference room of the headquarters, the officers at the regiment level and above of the two divisions of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance arrived, and they were filled with a whole room.
What surprised Wang Mo was that there was a huge sand table nearly two meters long and wide placed in the middle of the military intelligence conference room. The sand table was very simple, with only roughly the city and strategic points in eastern Shandong. It was obvious that it was made urgently.
However, this has already made Wang Mo very satisfied. After all, the detailed sand table map requires specific verification and still needs a lot of time to carefully produce. Although this is simple now, it is at least more obvious than the map.
"Who made this sand table?" Wang Mo asked.
At this time, a young man stood up and replied, "Report to the commander, the sand table was produced by our colleagues in the General Staff. Because the time is tight, the production is a bit simple."
Wang Mo looked at the young man with a little confusion. A few days ago, he completely delegated power to train troops for Li Jian and Zhang Wei. He was busy mobilizing and reserved various strategic materials, so he really didn't recognize this young man from the General Staff.
Li Jian saw Wang Mo's doubts and stood up and said, "Commander, this is Zhao Zhenhua, the elite combat staff of our First Division's General Staff. He performed outstandingly in the bandit training operation a few days ago and made many contributions."
Wang Mo nodded, looked at Zhao Zhenhua, and asked again: "From your accent, are you from Hubei?"
"Yes. Commander, I once served as platoon leader under Commander Cai, the Second Division of Hubei Army." Zhao Zhenhua replied.
Oh? It seems that I have participated in the Battle of Gold and Silver Lake.
Wang Mo did not continue to worry about these irrelevant things, raised his hand to signal Zhao Zhenhua to sit down, and then said to all the officers in the conference room: "Everyone. According to the information returned from the front line reconnaissance, the 24th Japanese Brigade is gathering on a large scale and approaching us quickly. Jimo County is about 60 kilometers away from us. Even if the Japanese army has logistics and supplies, they can arrive in more than a day. Therefore, there is not much time left for us. We must speed up the combat preparations!"
After saying that, Wang Mo turned his head to Li Jian. Li Jian immediately stood up, opened a document, and introduced to all the officers present: "According to the information obtained by the Special Service Department and the front-line reconnaissance forces, the 24th Brigade of the Japanese Army has about five infantry brigades, one artillery team, communication team, engineering team and baggage team, with a total number of about 5,000 people. In terms of firepower equipment, there are many light and heavy machine guns. It is estimated that each infantry brigade has more than a dozen. In terms of artillery, there are 60mm caliber and 75mm caliber artillery, and the specific number is not clear yet."
After listening to Li Jian's introduction, the officers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Judging from the strength and firepower alone, the 24th Japanese Brigade was not as difficult as imagined.
Compared with the 24th Brigade of the Japanese Army, the weapons and equipment of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance are much more luxurious, with the number of light and heavy machine guns several times that of the opponent. The artillery regiment is better than that of the Japanese army in terms of artillery caliber and number, not to mention that there is also an extremely luxurious Blue Eagle Flying Team ready to fight at any time.
Seeing the reactions of these officers, Wang Mo couldn't help but whine, "What? I felt that the Japanese army was so powerful, so I breathed a sigh of relief?"
Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "Commander, don't worry, brothers are not slacking off, they just let go of their worries about the strength of the Japanese army. With the strength of this 24th Brigade of the Japanese army, we have an absolute advantage in both military strength and firepower. Brothers have absolute confidence to defeat them!"
"Defeat?" Wang Mo smiled coldly, then shouted angrily, "I don't need any bullshit defeat! In this battle, you must completely wipe out the 24th brigade of the Japanese army, wipe out all, do you understand?"
Want to wipe out completely?
The Japanese army is not the inequality army in China. Even if the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance has absolute advantages in military strength and firepower, it may not be able to completely wipe out the 24th brigade of the Japanese army.
For a moment, all the officers present looked embarrassed and felt that the commander's requirements were too high.
"Commander, the 24th Japanese Brigade is not comparable to our domestic army after all. Is the difficulty of fully annihilated? " Li Jian persuaded him, and he also felt that it was a bit unrealistic to completely annihilate the 24th Japanese Brigade.
"You guys!" Wang Mo shook his head and said, "Don't you know what the 24th brigade of the Japanese army is? This is the fat meat that the Japanese took the initiative to deliver to their doors! If they don't take the opportunity to swallow it in one bite now, otherwise, after the Japanese realized that we were not bandits at all, how could there be such fat meat that the Japanese took the initiative to deliver to their doors?"
Everyone remembered that in the eyes of the Japanese, the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance was a bandit, so they only sent a 24th Brigade with a weak strength. After the specific strength of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance was exposed, there was probably no chance of getting a bargain like this.
After hearing Wang Mo's words, Li Jian's eyes lit up and he said, "The commander is right. The Japanese are still despised because of our bandits. We must take this great opportunity to annihilate the 24th Brigade of the Japanese Army and minimize the strength of the Japanese army."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Everyone understood that now the Japanese army is weakened by one point, and after the war is truly in full swing, the weight of victory will be one point towards our own side.
"But, how can we completely wipe out the 24th brigade of the Japanese army? I'm afraid that after the war begins, the other party will choose to withdraw from Jimo Base Camp. No matter how much we pursue, we will not be able to wipe out them." Zhang Wei said with a sad face.
Yes, the Japanese army can't defeat it, won't they run away?
Wang Mo did not express his thoughts, but asked the young combat staff members of the General Staff in the conference room: "The General Staff learned about the 24th Brigade of the Japanese Army before the meeting. He must have done combat deductions. Tell me, does your General Staff have any combat plan to wipe out the 24th Brigade of the Japanese Army?"
Several combat staff looked at each other, and finally Zhao Zhenhua stood up and said, "Commander, we did conduct several tactical deductions before the military intelligence meeting. Finally, we agreed that if we want to severely damage or even wipe out the 24th brigade of the Japanese army, we still need to make a fuss about the name of bandits in our Yimeng Autonomous Alliance."
"Wait, if you make a fuss about the name of the bandit..." Li Jian seemed to think of the core idea of the General Staff's combat plan and said, "What do you mean is that you want us to use the name of the bandit to lure the enemy?"
Zhao Zhenhua nodded and replied, "Yes, since the Japanese army thinks we are bandits, we think our army is just a mob with combat effectiveness. Then as long as a unit pretends to be bandits and go to fight and defeat after the battle, 80% of the possibility of successfully luring the enemy into deep and introducing the 24th brigade of the Japanese army into our preset ambush encirclement. As long as the 24th brigade of the Japanese army falls into the Jedi, it is easy to wipe them out with our strong firepower."
Slap... Slap...
Wang Mo took the lead in applauding, and the officers in the military intelligence conference room also applauded.
Such a situation made several young men in the General Staff feel a little embarrassed, and they involuntarily made small moves such as touching the back of their heads and noses to hide their emotions.
"Okay, I'm very happy that our young staff can perform such an outstanding performance!" Wang Mo praised happily, "So, everyone, if you have any combat operations in the future, you must learn to trust and rely on your combat staff. Do you understand?"
Wang Mo really never forgot to instill the concept of combat staff in his officers. There is no way. Although these people understand the importance of combat staff, many people still forget about the fact that there is combat staff when they fight.
"I understand!" The officers responded in unison.
Then, Wang Mo walked to the front of the sand table, pointed to a place ten miles east of Jiaoxian County and said, "In this battle, our preset ambush encirclement location will be here for Feixiong Ridge!" (To be continued.)
