"Yes! The headquarters has a very special task for you."
"Speaking."
Zhang Chu listened carefully.
A very special task? Or was it assigned by the headquarters?
curious……
"Attack on Taiyuan Airport."
"real?"
Zhang Chu was suddenly pleasantly surprised.
This has always been what he wanted to do, but it never happened.
He had planned several times before and wanted to find time to attack Taiyuan Airport. But he never had the chance.
I've been going round and round, and now I've forgotten about it.
Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong actually took the initiative to say it.
"The secret order from the headquarters. Only you and I know it. Even Political Commissar Zhao doesn't know it."
"clear."
"Taiyuan Airport poses too great a threat to us. It must be paralyzed as much as possible. Otherwise, it will seriously affect our next military operations."
"clear!"
Zhang Chu replied solemnly.
He was very happy with this task.
Because the Japanese planes are very valuable. One plane is worth 5 million. Ten planes are worth 50 million.
If it is doubled, it is a small goal.
As for Taiyuan Airport, how many planes are there? It is estimated that there are a hundred.
Although the Japanese aviation force is relatively shabby, it is still invincible in the East Asian battlefield. Having a hundred aircraft at such an important airport is not too much.
After all, it is also the capital of Shanxi Province...
The current Japanese First Army basically relies on aircraft to survive.
If there were no aircraft to assist in the battle, the Japanese invaders would hardly be able to move forward. If one mistake was made, the entire army might be annihilated.
In the previous battle at Cangyunling, the Japanese aircraft just couldn't catch up. As a result, the two regiments were completely wiped out. The same was true for the Kasahara regiment later. Without aircraft to assist in the battle, there was only a dead end.
"Headquarters wants you to launch an attack at night."
"clear."
Zhang Chu nodded.
Why night?
Because the Japanese plane cannot take off at night.
In this era, there is no all-weather aircraft. They cannot fly at night.
If it were daytime, the Japanese invaders' planes might take off as soon as the guns were fired. Then there would be nothing they could do. Even if the airport was destroyed, they would move on.
But at night, the plane couldn't take off at all. It could only stay on the ground and get beaten in vain.
The same goes for pilots.
If it's daytime and the pilot successfully gets into the sky, that would be awesome.
As long as the Japanese aircraft did not swoop down and entangle them, there were almost no weapons on the ground that could threaten them.
The shooting height of the Deshka anti-aircraft machine gun is only 1,500 meters at most.
Japanese aircraft can generally fly more than three thousand meters. Therefore, there is no threat at all.
However, if it were on the ground, the Japanese invaders' precious pilots were not as good as a large soldier!
Catch them all in one go!
"I'm going now! Bring the commandos!"
"No! Wait!"
"yes!"
"You act alone. Don't bring anyone with you. You also need to change into civilian clothes. Go south secretly."
"Why?"
"Confidentiality."
"clear!"
Zhang Chu nodded.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you take someone with you or not.
Anyway, when we get there, all we need is support. There should be support, right?
If there is no one to support you, then figure it out yourself.
"this is for you!"
"We'll take it apart when we get near Taiyuan."
Li Yunlong solemnly took out an envelope.
The envelope has a lacquer seal and the words "Top Secret" on it.
"clear!"
Zhang Chu took the envelope and put it in his arms.
It seems that the superiors have made arrangements. When I get to the ground, I can start taking action immediately.
"Go and come back quickly!"
"If the task is too difficult, you can choose to give up."
"Don't force it."
Li Yunlong warned again.
Zhang Chu nodded.
If the mission does not go smoothly, he will definitely not act recklessly.
but……
Is it really that difficult?
"Change into casual clothes!"
"yes!"
"Go for it!"
"yes!"
Zhang Chu left the headquarters.
Find a place to change into casual clothes. Then quickly go south.
The journey was uneventful.
There are almost no enemies along the way.
Because the main force of the Japanese invaders was concentrated.
Many strongholds have been abandoned. They are empty. There is not a single Japanese invader.
I did encounter some local guerrillas.
Zhang Chu did not meet them. Instead, he quietly left some weapons and ammunition for them, and then continued south.
Arrive outside Taiyuan safely.
Turning on the recovery radar, I found that it was less than thirty kilometers away from Taiyuan.
In the center area of the map, a small purple dot appeared. It was judged that it might be the commander of the Japanese First Army, Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshio, the commander of the army.
Colonel 10 million...
Major General 30 million...
But lieutenant generals are divided into several levels.
Among them, the lieutenant general division commander has 1 billion. The lieutenant general commander has 3 billion. The lieutenant general commander of the front army has 1 billion. The lieutenant general commander of the dispatched army has 3 billion.
How much is the general? 10 billion!
In fact, the Japanese invaders sometimes had confusion among their military ranks, especially those of lieutenant generals.
The division commander is a lieutenant general. The corps commander is a lieutenant general. The front army commander is also a lieutenant general. The rank of a lieutenant general spans several levels.
It's no wonder that some division commanders don't like their superiors at all. They are simply too senior.
For example, later Mutaguchi Renya, as the commander of the army, suffered a rebellion from the commanders of three divisions under his command.
The Kwantung Army has a large number of lieutenant generals. The commander Yoshijiro Umezu is also a lieutenant general. I wonder how many people he can command?
Take out the envelope.
Peel off the sealing paint.
There is only one address in it. There are also some connector passwords.
Keep in mind.
Then burn the envelopes and paper.
We quietly found the meeting place. It was a very ordinary village.
There were actually puppet troops stationed outside the village.
Hey……
puppet army?
Want to go in there yourself?
A bit unexpected.
Unexpectedly, the person who contacted me was actually in the puppet army.
what to do?
Had to find a way.
Walk over as if nothing happened.
"stop!"
"do what?"
He was immediately stopped by the puppet troops.
These puppet soldiers seem to be having a hard time and are listless.
Not only are the equipment poor, but the clothes are also dirty. They are also sallow and thin. Do you think the food is worse than that of the Eighth Route Army?
Alas, what kind of puppet army is this!
Doing this as a puppet army is also a failure...
"I'm from Yingkou. I'm visiting relatives. I'm looking for Uncle Bei..."
"Does Uncle Bei know you?"
"I know you. I know you. Please tell me that Long Xiaoer is here to see him."
"Long Xiaoer..."
One of the puppet soldiers turned around and left.
Soon after, a puppet army captain came out.
He looked Zhang Chu up and down and waved to Zhang Chu to follow him in.
"Thanks!"
"Thanks!"
Zhang Chu trotted up.
search.
Naturally, there is nothing.
Release.
Follow the puppet army captain and walk inside.
I saw some puppet troops from time to time. I felt that there were quite a lot of them.
It just looks like a group of beggars. Everyone is listless and dying.
Turned a corner.
The puppet captain suddenly stopped and asked, "Where are you at Yingkou?"
"Duozhuang."
"There is no place like this in Yingkou."
"Oh, I'm talking about Duozikou. That place used to be called Duozhuang."
"Change clothes."
"Um?"
Zhang Chu was stunned.
Immediately, the puppet captain threw over a military uniform.
It's old, dirty, and smells of sweat. Looking at the military rank insignia, it's a private first class or a top soldier.
Zhang Chu:???
"Follow us and go on duty near the airport at night." the puppet army captain said.
"Ah?" Zhang Chu's eyes suddenly widened.
Going to the airport?
On duty?
Isn’t this too easy? Just blend into the airport?
impossible!
How could the Japanese let the Chinese near the airport?
They don’t trust the Chinese at all…
"Most of the airport garrison has been transferred into the city." said the puppet army captain. "We can only be arranged to guard the perimeter."
"I know." Zhang Chu was relieved.
Daqing is a disaster caused by insufficient military strength.
That's right, the devils can't help a clever woman make a meal without rice.
There are not enough troops. There are not even a few people to guard Taiyuan. We have to temporarily put the airport behind.
Of course, the Japanese must be prepared.
If Tubal Road attacks on a large scale, there must be countermeasures.
However, if it is a sudden attack...
"Who are you……"
"Call me Xu Zhou! I will be your company commander from now on!"
"good!"
Zhang Chu replied.
Put on your clothes quickly.
Later, Xu Zhou gave him an old rifle, but it had no bullets.
Zhang Chu:???
"The Japanese stipulate that you can carry guns, but not bullets."
"Unless there is an enemy attack, the Japanese will send bullets to us."
