400, you must destroy your own ambition and grow the prestige of others
Airport attacked?
Miyano frowned secretly.
At first, he didn't take it seriously.
Probably the guerrillas from Tubal Road.
I don’t know which link caused the loophole. It actually allowed the Tubal guerrillas to lurk near the airport.
When I have time, I must do a thorough investigation to find out who is so negligent and negligent.
If it was the appeasement army, it would be a good time to give a lecture...
So, I didn't care.
There is a garrison brigade stationed at the airport, with 1,200 people. There are also some security forces of the aviation force. They will definitely be foolproof against the guerrillas on Tubal Road.
Those Tubal guerrillas relied entirely on men. They didn't have many guns or bullets.
So what if I touch it near the airport?
The top priority right now is to find a way to regain Baoding and Cangzhou.
Two important railway nodes were suddenly lost, and two railway arteries were cut off. The situation was extraordinary. Even the base camp was alarmed.
North China Front Army Commander Tada Shun's face was once again pressed to the ground and rubbed.
These are not two small counties.
They are two very important railway cities and transportation hubs.
Especially Baoding.
The Pinghan-Hankou Railway was cut off, and a large number of cities behind it were affected.
Especially in the direction of Taiyuan.
Tongpu Road in the north of Taiyuan has been cut off, and transportation can only rely on the Zhengtai Line.
The upstream railway connected by the Zhengtai Line is the Pinghan Railway. The Pinghan Railway is interrupted, and the Zhengtai Line is useless. Because all materials must be sent from the Pingjin area. They first pass through the Pinghan Railway before reaching the Zhengtai Line.
The situation is serious.
Taiyuan is dangerous.
A large number of divisions including the 20th, 29th, 108th, 109th, 110th, 35th, and 36th divisions downstream of Baoding were all affected.
It's just like a bunch of melons on a gourd vine. It can wither at any time.
For this reason, the base camp issued an order to recover Baoding within 24 hours. Otherwise, military law will be pursued.
Miyano had to wake up a lot.
The current situation is that he can't figure out how many people there are on Tubal Road?
The intelligence agencies in North China seem to be confused.
"Where is Yoshikawa Sadyu?"
"When does he come back?"
Shun Tada started calling him by his first name.
He was obviously very anxious inside.
This Yoshikawa Sadsuke is the head of the North China Secret Service.
Normally, he is so cool and seems to be able to do anything. But he fails at the critical moment.
Where is Tubal Road?
How many people are there on Tubal Road?
I don't know if I ask three questions.
Now I don't even see anyone.
"Report!"
Suddenly a counselor came in.
There was a familiar figure following behind. It was Yoshikawa Sadsuke.
"Yoshikawa-kun, please!"
Tada Shun's expression softened slightly.
Now that we are here, we should report some information.
"Commander, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the situation is not optimistic."
Yoshikawa Sadsuke gets right to the point.
Before the two of them could react, he continued: "The numbers of two tank regiments appeared in the Jizhong Military Region of the Eighth Route Army..."
"Nani?"
Tada Shun couldn't help but exclaimed.
Next to him, Chief of Staff Miyano was also stunned.
What?
Tank regiment?
two?
Tubal Road has actually developed a tank regiment?
How can it be……
"Yoshikawa-kun..."
"Chief of Staff, my information is very accurate. The tank regiment on Tubal Road has just been formed. It has not yet realized the importance of confidentiality. Therefore, my people easily obtained the relevant information. These two tank regiments,
They are all equipped with about 20 tanks and 60 to 70 vehicles."
"Twenty vehicles..."
Both Tada Shun and Miyano breathed a sigh of relief.
fine.
That doesn't sound like a lot.
Although the North China Front is not the main force, it does have two to three hundred tanks.
"Commander."
"chief of staff."
"I said the situation is not optimistic. The tanks equipped on Tubal Road weigh more than 20 tons. They are twice the weight of our Type 97 tanks. Both their attack capabilities and protective capabilities are quite strong. If the tanks engage in battle
, our army may not have a chance of winning."
Yoshikawa Sadsuke especially emphasized.
You must destroy your own ambition and gain the prestige of others.
Otherwise, how can you show that your information is important? How can you show that you are capable?
“Where did the tanks on Tubal Road come from?”
"It's not clear yet. What is certain is that it is closely related to a person named Zhang Chu."
"Zhang Chu?"
"Yes! It's him again. His current identity is that he is a staff officer at the Eighth Route Army Headquarters."
"Sou Ga..."
Tada Shun frowned.
It's Zhang Chu again. I don't want to hear this name.
Every time this name appears, it means something bad has happened. No, Tubal Road has two more tank regiments.
"Can you determine the location? Send out the aviation force..."
"It's near Li County. Tubal Road is not well covered up. But it has strong anti-aircraft firepower."
"How strong?"
"Each regiment has one hundred anti-aircraft machine guns."
"Nani?"
Miyano frowned again.
Is one hundred anti-aircraft machine guns a lot? Not many.
To be fair, the chance of victory between an airplane and an anti-aircraft machine gun is very high. After all, it is a weapon of the new era.
The question is how much losses the aviation force can sustain.
The anti-aircraft machine guns on Tubal Road have been shot down, and they may be able to replenish them soon.
Firearms are not worth anything.
However, if the Japanese aircraft are lost, it will not be easy to replenish them. The current domestic production of aircraft is not fast.
It is said that there is a lack of sufficient raw materials, especially aluminum. It is very scarce.
In the past, aluminum was imported from the United States in the name of scrap metal. But now the United States has tightened the export of scrap metal, including aluminum.
It doesn't matter if you lose eight out of ten. But if you lose twenty or thirty at a time, it will be more troublesome.
Now, in the direction of Central China, there is a Soviet aviation volunteer team, wearing the uniforms of the Chinese army, flying the aircraft given to the Chinese by the Soviets, fighting with the Japanese aircraft. The Japanese aircraft also suffered some losses. Because that is the direction of the main battle.
Therefore, aircraft produced domestically must be given priority to supplement Central China.
The aircraft lost in North China have not been replenished yet!
"Tomorrow, order the aviation force to dispatch!"
"Tie!"
Miyano agreed.
Suddenly I remembered something. The airport seemed to be under attack? I don’t know what it was.
However, since there is no follow-up report, it should be fine, right?
Well, early tomorrow morning, the aviation force will be dispatched to conduct an intensive attack on the tank troops on Tubal Road.
Suddenly I saw a staff officer flash his head.
"idiot!"
"Come in!"
Miyano shouted.
The staff officer came in quickly.
"What's up?"
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff..."
"explain!"
Miyano frowned.
The staff officer still hesitated.
"explain!"
Tada Shun spoke.
That staff officer never dared to neglect him again.
"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the airport was attacked and the damage was serious. However, the aviation force blocked the information and did not allow it to be transmitted outside..."
"Nani?"
"Nani?"
"Nani?"
Three people screamed at the same time.
Tada Shun even stood up suddenly and moved quickly.
Serious losses?
How serious is it?
“Call the airport immediately!”
"Tie!"
"I want to speak to Chief of Staff Suzuki."
"Tie!"
The staff officer hurried to answer the phone.
Will be connected soon.
Miyano picked up the phone.
"Is this Suzuki-kun?"
"Ah, you are not Suzuki-kun. Where is Suzuki-kun?"
"Isn't it convenient for him to answer the phone now?"
"what sound?"
"what sound?"
Miyano asked many questions in succession. As a result, there was no answer.
Then, the call was hung up.
No matter how Miyano called, there was no response.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the airport has been disconnected."
"idiot……"
Miyano cursed slowly.
not angry.
But my heart keeps sinking.
His call was not answered at the airport. Chief of Staff Suzuki was not there either.
What is he doing?
Could it be...
The situation at the airport has become serious enough that Tadayasu Suzuki needs to personally take action?
idiot!
Something is wrong!
"Your Excellency Commander..."
"Order the 144th Infantry Regiment to immediately reinforce the airport."
"Tie!"
Miyano hurriedly went to deliver the order.
The airport is in a critical situation. Don’t dare to neglect it.
But I had temporarily forgotten that the 144th Infantry Regiment was the last organic regiment stationed in Peiping.
After this wing was transferred, the remaining units were some auxiliary units. Basically, they were organized into squadron units.
However, how could Miyano think of so much at this moment?
