Chapter 432: War Begins! The Vanguard Army of the Southern Military Region!
Two days later, in Huizhou, the headquarters of the Southern Military Region, Jia Chengxun, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region, sat at the head of the operations conference room. On his right sat Lin Zhengkai, the chief of staff of the Southern Military Region, and Lian Cheng, the former governor of Jiangzhou and now the deputy commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region.
Dozens of Southern District military generals present sat upright with solemn expressions.
Jia Chengxun pointed at the huge map hanging on the wall and said in a sonorous voice: "The president has officially issued an order to the Southern Military Region. Our army will launch an attack from Bizhou in two days and directly take Huzhou under the jurisdiction of the Southern Kingdom. Since the Bai family of Huzhou was blocked by the Skeleton Division during the Northern Expedition and was annihilated, the Bai family has completely declined. Now, the one who has been officially appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Baizhou Security Army is Huang Guangtai's confidant, Hu Tiannan, a graduate of the second phase of the Nanpu Army Officer Academy!"
"This man is known for his strict military discipline and outstanding command and response capabilities. He is a true military strategy expert. He controls three military forces, including the Baizhou First Security Corps, the Baizhou Second Group, and the Baizhou Security Corps. Among them, the combat effectiveness of the Baizhou First Security Corps is the most outstanding, with a troop size of 80,000 people..."
"Hu Tiannan has two ace divisions under his command, which are said to be the best in the Southern Government. They are the 9th Armored Division of the 125th Army of the First Security Corps, and the 126th German-equipped Division. The soldiers under these two ace divisions are made up of the best soldiers in the entire Baizhou Army. In addition, their large-scale modernized armored forces have combat capabilities and military qualities that far exceed those of ordinary troops. They will become our toughest nuts to crack!"
He was 29 years old at the time, looked tall, with facial features as if carved by a knife, and was full of the aura of an iron-blooded soldier. As Jia Chengxun talked, the generals present gradually learned detailed information about the Baizhou Army's troop distribution, troop equipment and firepower allocation, etc.
After Jia Chengxun finished speaking, Hong Jing, the commander of the 1th Army of the 14st Group Army in the Southern Region, was the first to stand up. After saluting Jia Chengxun, he said in a resounding voice: "Commander, our 14th Army fights the elite! The Baizhou Jingbo City, which is guarded by the 125,126th and 14th Divisions under Hu Tiannan, will be handed over to our th Army to deal with. If you fail to take Jingbo City within seven days, I, Hong Jing, am willing to accept military punishment!"
The 14th Army, as an elite force in the southern region, has unparalleled combat effectiveness and military quality. It includes multiple division-level units and special forces, and each unit is an elite force that has been strictly selected and trained.
The 141st Infantry Division is an important force in the 14th Army.
Their soldiers are all elites in infantry tactics, good at fighting in various complex terrains and harsh environments. They not only have excellent tactical qualities, but also have strong physical fitness and willpower, and can persist in fighting at the most difficult moments.
The 142nd Armored Division is the best among the armored forces in the Southern Military Region. The advanced armored vehicles and firepower systems they are equipped with give them an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield. Their armored vehicles are not only well protected, but also extremely powerful in firepower, capable of destroying the enemy's defenses in a short time.
In addition, the 143rd Infantry Division and the 109th Special Operations Brigade are also elite forces in the 14th Army. The 143rd Infantry Division is known for its strong infantry combat capabilities. Their soldiers are good at using various infantry weapons and tactics, and can quickly adapt to various changes on the battlefield. The 109th Special Operations Brigade is a well-trained and fast-responding special forces unit. They are good at performing various difficult special operations tasks and are an important assault force in the 14th Army.
Army Commander Hong Jing is a military commander known for his toughness and hard work. He is upright and always unambiguous in his tasks and gives his all. He has great confidence in his troops and believes that they can exert strong combat effectiveness on any battlefield. This time, he took the initiative to take on this important task, which showed his absolute trust in his troops and his firm determination.
"Okay! There is no joking in the army. I, Hong Jing, hereby sign a military order!" Hong Jing shouted loudly, his voice full of determination and confidence. He stared directly at Jia Chengxun, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region in front of him, without any fear.
At this moment, Jia Chengxun's brows were furrowed and his eyes were sharp, and he was obviously seriously considering Hong Jing's request to fight.
"Jingbo City and its surrounding areas are an important defense line of the enemy. Taking it down is crucial to the entire battle situation. If your 14th Army can complete this task within seven days, I will personally recommend credit for you!" Jia Chengxun said in a deep voice, his voice revealing his seriousness and expectation for this battle.
"Please rest assured, Commander. Our 14th Army will live up to its mission and will capture Jingbo City within seven days!" Hong Jing answered without hesitation. His voice was firm and powerful, full of confidence and determination.
"There is no joking in the army, Crazy Hong, if you can't take Jingbo City within seven days, I want your head!" Jia Chengxun shouted in a deep voice, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes. Although his words were harsh, they were full of trust and expectations for Hong Jing.
Hong Jing did not back down. He looked directly into Jia Chengxun's eyes without fear and said loudly, "Yes! Commander, I, Hong Jing, guarantee with my life that I will not let you down!"
At dawn two days later, the sky was just turning pale, and the city of Jingbo on the northeastern border of Baizhou was already filled with smoke and flames. The 14th Army of the First Group Army of the Southern Military Region, led by Hong Jing, was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, pointing directly at the defense line of the First Security Corps of the Baizhou Army under Hu Tiannan. The total strength of both sides was nearly . On this ancient land, iron and blood intertwined with glory, and an unprecedented contest unfolded.
Jingbo City, the ancient city known as the gateway to the northern border of Baizhou, has now become the focus of the war. On the city walls, flames are blazing and bullets are raining down, but the soldiers defending the city still hold their ground, using their flesh and blood to build a strong line of defense. Under the city, the soldiers of the 14th Army are like tigers descending from the mountains, unstoppable, and every charge is accompanied by earth-shaking shouts and dense gunfire.
Xiuyun Mountain, adjacent to Jingbo City, stands majestically, as if silently witnessing the war. The Nanyue Pass, thirty miles north of the city, has become the focus of contention between the two sides. This historic pass, a relic of the Ming Empire, has now become a battleground for both armies. The military defense positions carefully constructed by the 131st and 137th Divisions behind the Nanyue Pass are now facing a powerful offensive by the 14th Army.
In the war, the commanders of both sides showed their superb military talents and firm determination. Hong Jing personally commanded the attack of the 14th Army. Every decision he made was accurate and decisive. His figure was unusually tall in the war. Hu Tiannan was not to be outdone. He mobilized the forces of the Baizhou Army and tried his best to defend his line of defense.
In this unprecedented battle, the soldiers on both sides showed their tenacious fighting spirit and unyielding will to fight. They were willing to sacrifice their lives for their respective positions and wrote magnificent war songs with their courage and blood.
