Chapter 321 Airborne Division
Chapter 321 Airborne Division
Guisui, temporary headquarters of the Baotou Front Army.
"Commander, Li Yunlong is here to report!"
Li Yunlong knocked on the door and cautiously came to the domineering man.
"Li Yunlong..."
The domineering man put down the telegram in his hand and glanced at Li Yunlong: "You performed well in this battle and did not run around."
"Hehe, it's all thanks to the commander's good teaching."
Li Yunlong smiled on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking, "Mmm!" He didn't even look at who he was cooperating with this time, the commander-in-chief!
I don’t know if it was to prevent him from causing trouble, but the brigade commander was asked to communicate with him directly, so that he didn’t dare to run around at all and just did whatever he was told!
"Okay, stop being so playful!"
The domineering man waved his hand and said, "There are two reasons why I called you here this time. One is that your Air Force Generals Regiment has been requisitioned."
"What!!"
Li Yunlong was dumbfounded. He had trained the airborne regiment with great difficulty, and it was about to become combat-ready, but now they were requisitioned for him?
"Commander! My Lord, you can't do this!"
"Pah.....what are you howling for!"
The domineering man slapped the table and said, "This is what the higher-ups asked us to do. I can't do anything about it."
"Please stop being so sectarian."
"Oh!"
Li Yunlong nodded aggrievedly, like a bullied young wife.
"Don't be sad, this happened for a reason!"
The domineering man felt soft-hearted when he saw Li Yunlong looking aggrieved, and he comforted him.
"The higher-ups want to send a troop to conquer the Liaodong Peninsula and recapture Tonghua to cut off the retreat of the Kwantung Army when they attack the Northeast."
"In order to successfully capture the Liaodong Peninsula, the central government plans to use an airborne division to land in Gaizhou City and Zhuanghe City to cut off the retreat of the Japanese defenders on the Liaodong Peninsula and force them to surrender!"
“Gaizhou City, Zhuanghe City!”
Li Yunlong recalled the map of Liaodong Peninsula and said, "The coastal defense fortifications at Lushun Port are not easy to deal with. If a troop can really get in behind the enemy, the Japanese in Liaodong Peninsula will probably be very anxious!"
"Got it!"
"So I agree to the central government's order to transfer your airborne regiment to Tianjin to form an air force division!"
The domineering man took out a letter of appointment and said, "But you haven't lost anything. The higher-ups have agreed to reorganize your motorized infantry brigade into a light armored division, and will give you a tank regiment!"
"Tank Regiment!"
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong is no longer sleepy. Although it is difficult to say whether the exchange of the airborne regiment for the tank regiment is a loss or a profit, in Li Yunlong's view, at least there is something to gain, isn't it?
In the past, the brigade commander took equipment from him, but never received any compensation.
"Commander, the airborne regiment has been transferred. What about the airships, helicopters and other equipment?"
Suddenly Li Yunlong thought of something and asked cautiously.
"Of course I'll go along!"
The domineering man smiled and said, "But don't worry, I know you still have a special forces company. I will equip you with 10 helicopters and two military airships!"
(Military airship, equipped with weapons and radar systems.)
"That's okay too!"
Li Yunlong nodded.
.........
A week later, Tianjin.
"Long time no see, Commander Xiao!"
Zhao Tianyang and his men greeted Commander Xiao!
"Minister Zhao!"
Commander Xiao's eyes lit up: "You're finally back, you still owe me a meeting!"
"I'm here to pay it back!"
Zhao Tianyang pointed at the two people following him and said, "Sa Benxin is a shipbuilding expert. He used to be the deputy director and chief engineer of Liuzhou Xijiang Shipyard."
"Lin Zhun, the great-nephew of the national hero Lin Zexu, learned submarine technology in Germany!"
"I'm here this time to hold a meeting on naval equipment construction and military branch construction."
"Great, I'll go get someone right away!"
Soon, several key naval personnel who remained in Tianjin were called back.
"Based on our current situation, forget about aircraft carriers!"
At the front of the conference room, Zhao Tianyang took out some information and distributed it to everyone: "I just got some information about U-boats from Germany. We should use submarines as the core and form a fleet with the purpose of defense as the core!"
"Defense?"
Commander Xiao was a little reluctant: "Can't we take the initiative to attack?"
"sure!"
Zhao Tianyang simply said: "Of course we can take the initiative to attack, but attacking is not our goal. Our navy is still very weak, and we will easily suffer losses if we take the initiative to attack."
"At most, we will form a submarine force and learn wolf pack tactics from the Germans."
"also!"
Commander Xiao nodded: "It's good that you can fight back."
"The most important thing for us now is to protect our coastline."
"Use cruisers to patrol the coast. If you find enemy ships, you don't have to attack them. You just need to report the target and call in shore-based missiles or coastal defense bombers."
"This will preserve our naval seeds to the greatest extent possible and also protect our coastline!"
After the meeting, Zhao Tianyang handed the submarine information and another warship blueprint to Sa Benxin and Lin Zhun, and appointed them as the director and deputy director of Tianjin Shipyard.
"Minister Zhao, would you like to see our navy's training?"
Commander Xiao stopped Zhao Tianyang who was about to escape after finishing his job.
"what!"
Zhao Tianyang scratched his head: "Okay, let's take a look!"
Tianjin Port.
"Baga, you can't even clean the deck and you want to drive a warship?"
The newly appointed chief naval instructor, Ichiro Tengda, was shouting at a group of naval cadets.
"In order to make you remember this incident, Instructor Murai will take your men on a ten-kilometer run to teach them a profound lesson!"
"what!"
Murai, former captain of the Tianjin garrison and current naval instructor, was confused. How come they can't clean the deck and we have to run ten kilometers?
We are instructors, not students!
"Ah for what!"
Ichiro Tengtian scolded, "It's because you didn't teach them well that they can't learn. Letting you run away will be a lesson for both of you!"
"Fuck you!"
Murai's fists were clenched, but Ichiro Tengda had chosen such a good reason, so he could only suppress his resentment and run with the garrison team.
"Okay, did you see that?"
"If you don't study hard, this is what will happen to you!"
Seeing that Murai had surrendered and started running ten kilometers with his men, Ichiro Tengda pretended to speak a few words of truth, then took the students on the warship to start a new round of teaching.
"Sigh~~"
Zhao Tianyang looked at what had just happened, took a deep breath, and looked at Commander Xiao beside him: "Is it okay for them to do this?"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"
Commander Xiao waved his hand and said, "You don't understand. Now the garrison troops are responsible for taking the beatings, and the Japanese navy is afraid that the garrison troops will complain, so they can only teach us the real stuff."
"After more than ten days of training, our trainees can operate warships!"
"Amazing!"
Zhao Tianyang said in surprise.
