The headquarters of the 1st Guards Division is next to Wanzhou Airport.
At this time, most of the 1st Guards Division had already set out for the battlefield.
The divisional bunker-style building became the combat command post of Prince Montenegro.
There is a large map hanging in the conference room.
There is also a sand table of the entire Haixi province at a realistic scale, with mountains, rivers, plains and hills, and the overall topography can be clearly seen.
The busy people in the conference room were the military advisers of the Military Committee under the Privy Council of Prince of Blackberg.
Lu Ming paced in front of the sand table.
The Montenegrin Legion launched attacks on the Haixi and Japanese people from three directions.
In the direction of Beiheishan, the 2nd Infantry Division of the Heishan Corps (15,000 troops of the Beiheishan Infantry Division), three militia columns temporarily reorganized by the militia organization (5,000 troops), and the Longbei Third Front Army (30,000 troops) launched an attack on the 12th Japanese Division (27,000 troops) under the control of the new Japanese.
In addition, there is the Black Sparrow Unit, which has been separated from the Bureau of Secrets and has now become the 2nd Regiment of the Palace Air Service, with about 2,000 special operations forces cooperating.
On the battlefield in the New Riyue Territory, our own troops actually have the advantage.
Because except for the 12th Division of Japan, the rest of the puppet troops in the new Japanese territory have just been formed and their combat effectiveness should not be high.
But similarly, the Second Infantry Division of the Black Mountain Corps was established not long ago. It mainly recruits old troops from Anshan, as well as militia and the Longbei Army, whose combat effectiveness is also not very high. It may not have an overwhelming advantage.
The second attack direction of the Montenegro Principality was from Shengjing. The First Mechanized Division of the Montenegro Corps, with the cooperation of the First Longbei Front Army, broke through the southwest defense line of Haixi from Shengjing.
It was a devastating defeat. The battle report had already arrived, and the Minjiang Guard Brigade led by Liu Kui, the brigade commander of the Haixi Minjiang Road, which was adjacent to Shengjing, suffered a devastating blow.
Liu Kui had also been captured.
Lu Ming became furious when he thought of him. The Special Work Department of the Bureau of Secrets had once given him 100,000 yuan, but they had not benefited from him yet.
A representative figure of the old bureaucracy who eats people without spitting out bones and does not do anything.
It’s a good thing this guy is not dead, otherwise it would be even more infuriating.
The third attack direction of the Principality of Montenegro was to attack the southern border of Haixi from Wanzhou Road.
This is the main offensive direction of the Principality of Montenegro.
The 1st Guards Division, the 1st Infantry Division, the 3rd Infantry Division (Zhenjiang Infantry Division) and the Montenegro Mountain Brigade, together with a total of approximately 55,000 troops, all the resources of the Principality of Montenegro were deployed.
As for Haixi, with a population of 50 to 60 million, it has an army of more than 300,000.
Of course, Liu Bangchang's main force consisted of only a few hundred thousand men, and the rest were miscellaneous troops and local armed forces.
In addition, there is the 15th Division of Japan, also known as the Okuoshimichi Division.
What Lu Ming was most concerned about was the war on the northern front, or the war on the southern front in the eyes of Liu Bangchang's Haixi Group.
On the sand table, several red flags are facing the area marked "Jianzhou" from south to north and are in a closed position.
The Jianzhou area is crossed by railways from east to west, south to north, and is surrounded by high mountains. It is obviously the hub and throat of the southwestern Haixi region.
The small blue flags representing Liu Bangchang's army and the green flags representing the 15th Division of Japan were also piled up densely in the Jianzhou area.
Apparently, the Japanese and Liu Bangchang believed that their military force was strong and were preparing to engage in a decisive battle with their main forces in Jianzhou.
In fact, not only did Longbei Province declare war on Haixi Province an hour after the Heishan Principality declared war on Haixi Province.
Just a few days ago, the Northern Frontier Province also officially declared war on the Haixi Province.
But news soon came that Ma Quanyou's tribe on the grassland had rebelled, and the Northern Frontier Province had to send its main forces north to prepare to quell the rebellion first.
After all, Ma Quanyou's troops are fierce and difficult to defeat. If we don't use the main force, let alone suppress the rebellion, we may be invaded by this grassland overlord in the hinterland of northern Xinjiang at any time.
"Master!" A fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged confidential secretary in a green military uniform hurried to Lu Ming's side. It was Qing'e Thirteen, and she delivered a secret telegram.
Lu Ming looked at him and frowned slightly.
It was top-secret intelligence from the Military Intelligence Department, which said that Jiangnan Province's Governor Wang Qiande, Finance Minister Hu Dingjin, and Border Defense Division Commander Wang Taishan had reached a secret agreement with the Japanese envoy, and that they were planning to attack Black Mountain Fort while the main forces of the Black Mountain Corps were fighting in Jiangbei.
The fact that they were able to reach such an agreement with the Japanese secret envoy clearly showed that Wang Qiande and other powerful people in the south of the Yangtze River believed that the Principality of Montenegro would inevitably lose this battle.
After all, there are 300,000 elite and invincible Kansai troops in Japan.
No matter how you look at it, the Principality of Montenegro and the Kingdom of Japan are not on the same level. As long as the main force of the Kansai Army is deployed to the northern battlefield, it will be easy to defeat the Principality of Montenegro and its coalition forces.
On the Japanese side, a large number of ships have been recruited.
Looking at the telegram, a cold light flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.
Wang Qiande treated me very well at first. Of course, that was just to help me fight against the Hu family. What he wanted to gain in the end must be the most favorable political interests for him.
"Send a telegram in my name to all the security forces on the mainland border, urging them to prepare for battle, display their fearless spirit, block the enemy from entering our territory, and resolutely defeat the enemy!" He added: "Send a rapid combat team from the Air Service to support our weak points. Tell Zheng Yibiao and Heitou to deal with the enemy as much as possible and try to hold out until the Japanese reinforcements and supplies are shipped across the sea in large quantities. This will be beneficial to us. If we can't hold out until then, we will have to use our secret weapons in advance!"
"Yes!" Qing'e Thirteen agreed crisply, turned around and hurried away.
…
When Lu Ming opened his eyes again, he was already at the front-line command post in Sanming County, Beiheishan.
When we arrived at the military intelligence room, the staff officers were also busy.
What is similar is that there is a huge sand table in the military intelligence room, which is a sand table scaled down to the actual scale of the new Japanese territory.
Although the battle in the New Japanese Territory paralyzed Japan's military command system from the beginning, the artillery fire and infantry raids caused huge casualties to the 1st Regiment of the 12th Division of Japan, and even seized the 1st Regiment's flag.
But the Japanese reacted quickly and organized a powerful counterattack.
There were even airships to bomb their own positions.
Now we can only endure it.
The combat effectiveness of the Longbei Army was really worrying. Two main brigades, with nearly 10,000 people, were trying to attack the position of an enemy regiment of 3,000 people. Not only did they suffer heavy losses and fail to take the position, but they were also counterattacked by the enemy and were defeated, forcing them to retreat hundreds of miles.
Even the puppet army defense line led by the new Japan fought back and forth with the Longbei Army.
It's just unbearable to watch.
Therefore, the first phase of the raid did not achieve any real strategic purpose.
Moreover, in the New Japanese territory, it was not just the Montenegrin Infantry Division and the Longbei Army that fought against the Japanese.
Even the Miao Baifeng regime, which was lingering in the Anshan City area, joined in the fun and declared war on the Xinri Territory and Haixi Province, and sent out an expeditionary division, but it was the Anshan Division, with only five to six thousand troops.
But it was obvious that they were here to cause trouble. Before the expeditionary force arrived at the front line, scandals of internal strife broke out.
Lu Ming paced back and forth, looking at the various flags on the sand table. His mind raced, with all kinds of thoughts surging in his mind as he pondered.
"Commander-in-chief, please take a nap. There should be nothing to worry about now!" A general nearby reminded cautiously.
As soon as the war began, "Governor Zhang" was granted the position of commander-in-chief of the North Black Mountain Front Command.
Lu Mingqi asked, "Do I look tired?"
From just before the war began to more than a month ago, Lu Ming has been working non-stop for 24 hours a day.
When he opened his eyes, he was in his true identity to have an overview of the overall situation. When he opened his eyes again, he was Commander-in-Chief Zhang directing the battle in Beiheishan.
Lu Ming didn't feel tired, but it probably wouldn't work for a long time.
"No! Of course not!" The general beside him said with a smile: "You have always been full of energy, but you eat and sleep at the headquarters, so you must not have had enough rest. Everyone is worried that you have exhausted yourself."
Lu Ming nodded and said with a smile, "It's okay." His eyes turned to the huge sand table again.
