Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Sure enough, two days later, the Intelligence Department received information that the Japanese 19th Independent Mixed Brigade had set out from Hongmen Bay and was heading towards the island under the escort of the fleet, riding on a large number of collected fishing boats and merchant ships.

"According to the current monsoon and ocean currents, using sails, the Japanese 19th Independent Mixed Brigade will arrive near our coast in two days!" After Ah Gui finished speaking the intelligence, he gave an approximate time for the enemy's arrival.

Zhang Yunhe stood in front of the map, his finger moving to the north of the boundary river. "Based on the 51st Division's marching speed, they'll arrive north of the boundary river tomorrow. They'll have a day to rest and recuperate, and they'll likely launch an attack at the same time as the 19th Independent Mixed Brigade arrives!"

"Yes!" Ah Gui nodded.

Zhang Yunhe picked up the phone and called the secretary's office, "Secretary Gao, notify the commanders of all units to come to the headquarters for a meeting in two hours!"

"Also, notify the Director of the Road Administration Department that all bridges blown up by the Japanese spies must be repaired and reopened to traffic before dark tomorrow. If they can't be repaired and reopened to traffic before dark tomorrow, they will be subject to military court. Tell him this is a military order!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Agui, you also need to attend the military meeting in two hours!" Zhang Yunhe said to Agui after hanging up the phone.

"Yes, sir!"

meeting room.

The military chiefs of each unit were already sitting upright at the conference table. Zhang Yunhe sat in the main seat, and Ah Gui stood behind him holding a folder.

Zhang Yunhe looked at the officers and said, "Let me inform you of the military situation first, Ah Gui!"

"Yes!"

Ah Gui walked forward, opened the folder, glanced at the officers, and said, "The Japanese 51st Division has arrived in Songgang and should be able to reach the north of the boundary river before noon tomorrow. The Japanese 19th Independent Mixed Brigade is already sailing towards our island under the escort of the fleet and is expected to reach our island's offshore waters in two days."

Zhang Yunhe glanced at everyone and asked, "Everyone, how should we fight this battle? Should we defend ourselves against the enemy with our troops or take the initiative?"

No one said anything. After a few seconds, Deputy Chief of Staff Gao Shang said, "Sir, can I have a word?"

Zhang Yunhe raised his hand: "Speak!"

"Ahem!" Gao Shang cleared his throat and immediately expressed his thoughts: "Commander, everyone, the training of those foreign devils and Indians is not yet complete. Although the 5000-man reserve force has been strengthened, these people are only reserves and cannot be easily moved!"

"Aside from the troops needed to defend the beaches of the various islands, the forces dedicated to defending the boundary river are actually only one regiment and one battalion. With such a small force, they are only capable of holding their ground, and have essentially no offensive capabilities. Therefore, my opinion is to wait and see!"

After listening to this, Zhang Yunhe looked at the others and asked, "Does anyone have any different ideas or opinions?"

The officers looked at each other, and the commander of the First Regiment, Yang Xiong, stood up and said, "Sir, I have an idea."

"Tell me about it!" Zhang Yunhe raised his hand and said.

Yang Xiong said, "I've observed that the Japanese troops across the river are at their most relaxed these past few days. I think we can launch a surprise attack before the 51st Division arrives and capture the Japanese frontier positions. As long as our firepower is strong enough and our advance speed is fast enough, we might even be able to catch the 104th Division off guard!"

"If we can capture the hills north of the Boundary River, such as Phoenix Mountain, Ping Mountain, Tai Mountain, Yin Mountain, and Wutong Mountain, we can use these hills to rebuild a line of defense and increase the depth of our defense!"

The combat staff immediately walked to the map and used a pen to mark the locations of the hills that Yang Xiong had just mentioned.

Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think Captain Yang's idea is feasible?"

The military commanders of various departments began to discuss among themselves in low voices.

At this time, Deputy Chief of Staff Gao Shang said: "Captain Yang, the opposing positions have the strength of an entire infantry regiment. We only have 3000 people on the front lines. At least 1000 people should be left behind. The maximum number of people who can actually be used for the attack is only 2000."

"Using 2000 men to attack a defensive line held by a Japanese infantry regiment, are you sure?"

Yang Xiong said in a deep voice, "Of course I'm not mistaken. Who said there are only 2000 people? Aren't the 5000 reserves we just deployed human beings? Isn't it too early to deploy them behind the defensive positions now? We can use these 8000 people to launch a blitzkrieg. As long as we can transfer them back before the Japanese 19th Independent Mixed Brigade arrives, we'll be fine!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhang Yunhe became interested after listening to this and said to Yang Xiong, "Captain Yang, tell me your detailed ideas!"

Yang Xiong immediately turned around, walked over to the map, and said to everyone, "We will launch an airstrike this evening. Send three flight formations to Songgang before dark to bomb the 51st Division three times! Before dark, the enemy's 51st Division will definitely set up camp. Once camped, the enemy will be relatively concentrated. If we bomb and strafe, we can greatly increase casualties!"

"This way, tomorrow the 51st Division will definitely count their casualties, reorganize their forces, and boost morale! We will launch a surprise attack tomorrow morning, just as the Japanese on the 104th Division's front lines have just woken up and are gathering for lunch. We will attack from Lake Field, first covering them with artillery fire, and then using the armored tank regiment as a vanguard."

"Instead of launching a full-scale attack, it is better to concentrate our forces to attack one point. After breaking through the lake field head-on, each unit will immediately penetrate deep and horizontally to cut off the communication between the various Japanese units, and then annihilate them separately."

"During this period, in addition to using tanks to clear the way, we also dispatched fighter planes and bombers to conduct back-and-forth strafing and bombing, doing our utmost to kill as many enemy troops as possible, thus safeguarding our army's deep penetration and horizontal cutting tactics!"

"And the hilltops I mentioned earlier. The Japanese didn't expect us to be able to launch a counterattack, so they didn't build any fortifications on them. If our troops advance quickly enough, we can seize these hilltops before the Japanese are defeated. As long as we occupy these hilltops, we can consolidate our victory and even stop the counterattack of the other two infantry regiments of the 104th Division!"

After Yang Xiong finished speaking, the conference room fell silent.

It took more than ten seconds for everyone to digest the plan.

Zhang Yunhe asked, "What do you think of Yang Xiong's battle plan?"

Chief of Staff Tian Tao spoke first: "Sir, I think Yang Xiong's plan is very feasible. I have also observed that the Japanese front-line positions have indeed relaxed a lot in recent days. They probably don't think we have the courage to launch a counterattack."

"However, I propose to advance the attack by an hour, starting before dawn. We will first use artillery fire for half an hour, then use the armored tank regiment as the vanguard to break through the Lake Field defense line, and then the infantry will follow behind the tanks."
