Chapter 536 Take action
The bargaining chip of the "E-Japan Neutrality Treaty" is our China.
Before the treaty was signed, the Axis powers were "at their peak". Germany launched a blitzkrieg against Western Europe, and the news of victory continued to come. Seeing the defeat of Britain and France, the Japanese sought to advance southward and plunder the colonies of Britain and France in Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
The Japanese hoped that China, after being occupied, could become their "rear base".
Therefore, the Japanese urgently asked Country E to stop its aid to China.
Country E was also having a hard time. After the Great Purge, people's livelihood was in decline. Germany was reporting successive victories. The "E-German Non-Aggression Treaty" was just a piece of torn paper in Country E's hands.
Although they did not believe that Germany would attack them before occupying Britain, they believed that Germany would attack them sooner or later.
So, the pressure is also very high.
In order to ensure the security of the Far East, we also agreed to the Japanese initiative and signed the "Neutrality Treaty".
Since then, aid from Country E has been suspended, and they issued some kind of joint statement recognizing each other's Manchukuo and Outer Mongolia?
Wang Meng spoke this long paragraph in a torrent of words, his mouth was dry, then he picked up the teacup and took two gulps of water.
"Old Zhao, now you understand, Country E doesn't consider us brothers at all, they just treat us as bargaining chips!"
Li Yunlong was so angry that he slammed the table.
"It seems that the Russians are not good people either! Did you understand, Lao Zhao?"
"Old Li, you understood it all, how could I not understand it?"
Li Yunlong touched his nose. It seemed like he was cursing someone. But it was fine as long as Lao Zhao could understand it.
"Mengzi, how do you know so much about this?"
"Well, Shubing told me that. He knows a lot. He also told me that there will be small-scale battles on the border between China and E in the future.
In short, I think we should resolutely solve the problems that can be solved now, and not leave the pressure to our next generation!"
Zhao Gang's mind is very confused now, but he believes in the characters of Wang Meng and Lin Shubing, and they would never lie to him.
"Okay, I agree with your plan, but I have to inform the Eighth Route Army about the situation first. After all, this is not just our business!"
Now we have finally reached the crux of the matter.
"Lao Zhao, what are you going to tell the boss?"
"It's very simple. We will just say that we are going to deal with the Japanese invaders in Mongolia. If they cross over to Outer Mongolia, we may have to fight them and make them understand!
However, we are just informing them. As for the attitude of the CEO, and whether or not to talk to Country E and Outer Mongolia, that depends on their own wishes!"
Wang Meng nodded in his heart and gave the Eighth Route Army a heads-up in advance, but not everything. He just informed them to avoid being accused of being impolite later.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's express our stance?"
The three of them raised their hands at the same time, and thus, a secret combat operation was about to begin.
Zhao Gang still followed the old routine and continued to contact the Eighth Route Army, and prepared to draw elite mobile regiments or mobile divisions from various places to take over Inner Mongolia.
Li Yunlong was responsible for overall command, directing the First Army to attack directly and the Second Army to advance and exert pressure.
Wang Meng was responsible for formulating the combat plan and directly commanding the First Army.
Following Lin Shubing's suggestion, Wang Meng still attacked according to the principle of the First Army to the left, the Second Army to the north, and the Third Army to the right.
Of course, in order to paralyze the enemy, he chose the excuse of having the troops conduct military training at the same time and march to the designated locations at the same time.
The Japanese forces in Outer Mongolia were mainly composed of the puppet Mongolian army, and a large battalion of the Japanese were stationed in a few important cities.
According to the current firepower configuration of the independent column, it is entirely possible to capture the target in a one-to-one ratio.
Moreover, Mongolian cities do not have strong fortifications like the cities in the Central Plains, so it would be easier to fight them.
So, after Wang Meng formulated the general direction, he gave the order to the First Army, ordering Wang Huaibao to summon Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and two others to hold a meeting in Hohhot two days later.
Within these two days, countless ammunition and weapons and equipment were transported to Datong by military trains, and then transported to Baotou, Hohhot and Ulanqab respectively.
Wang Meng also took the opportunity to find Wei Dayong, the now promoted commander of the 201st Airborne Brigade.
"Monk, what are you doing now? Why don't you go to the training ground?"
"Chief of Staff, I am now a brigade commander after all. I can't just practice tactics, I also need to practice command. These days, I have been consulting Principal Lin Shubing and the instructors of the National Defense University day and night. All my allowance has been used to buy cigarettes, alcohol and gifts!"
"Oh, you're so studious? How are you learning now?"
Monk Wei put away his playful smile and answered seriously:
"Airborne combat is really a science. It's not just about landing on the ground and then randomly attacking. You have to hit the enemy's vital points.
Moreover, the main goal cannot be to directly kill the enemy, but to disrupt the overall layout of the Japanese, causing them strategic confusion and destroying their strategic goals to the greatest extent possible! "
"Monk, you have grown up!"
"Hey, Chief of Staff, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Wang Meng took out a document with the red stamp of the Independent Corps and slapped it in front of Monk Wei.
"According to the decision of the Independent Column Headquarters, you will be temporarily in charge of the 202nd Airborne Regiment."
Monk Wei was so shocked that his jaw dropped. Why did this order come out suddenly? He hadn't heard any news about it before.
"Chief of Staff, can I ask what happened to Duan Peng? Did he make a mistake? Is it a problem with his lifestyle?"
Wang Meng looked at Monk Wei's expression and didn't expect him to be so gossipy. After returning to secular life, he had all the seven emotions and six desires?
"If I tell Duan Peng what you said, I think he will want to fight you!"
Monk Wei gasped when he recalled the last time he had a fighting match with Duan Peng and was hit by two punches.
"Forget it, forget it, I was just talking casually!"
"Look at you! Duan Peng is still in charge of the Liangshan Special Operations Team, but now the Liangshan Special Operations Team will be separated from the 202nd Airborne Regiment and include the second and third teams.
They, together with the Mandrill Special Forces, are directly under the name of our independent column headquarters.
By the way, don’t bully Duan Peng. Let me tell you, although the Liangshan Special Forces and the Mandrill Special Forces are small in number, they are brigade-level units, and they are also one level higher. Take it easy, kid!"
Monk Wei pursed his lips. He didn't dare to underestimate Duan Peng. That kid's fists were not to be trifled with.
After observing for such a period of time, Duan Peng is indeed more suitable for commanding special operations on the front line.
In battle, he is brave, calm, and even a little cruel. He also has a strong fighting spirit and will not give up until he achieves his goal!
"I dare not provoke him!"
"Okay, let's do this for now. You should familiarize yourself with the team as soon as possible. I guess there will be a military operation soon. If you can't command well, you will be held accountable!"
