The Chenjiazhuang Airport Prevention and Control Headquarters should be, to be precise, the former enemy headquarters of the 6th Army Division of the Yizhong Army.
In order to better direct this air defense battle and take down more Japanese planes, Kong Jie directly moved the divisional headquarters here.
Not only can you see the frontline battle situation at the first time, make adjustments to the frontline participating troops as quickly as possible, but you can also learn about other battlefield conditions through the radio at the first time, killing two birds with one stone.
"Report to Commander, Deputy Chief of Staff, urgent call from headquarters..." The operator suddenly appeared behind Kong Jie and Huang Yu, reporting seriously.
"Didn't the telegram from the chief asking us to let go of the fight against the Japanese just arrive? Why is there another telegram?" Kong Jie frowned and asked, but still quickly accepted the telegram.
"It should be that the intelligence personnel monitoring the major airports of the surrounding Japs have news..." Huang Yu suddenly remembered that he had asked the headquarters to help monitor the major Japanese airports, and answered thoughtfully.
Kong Jie quickly glanced at the contents of the telegram, then showed a surprised expression on his face. He handed it to Huang Yu and said with emotion: "You really guessed it right."
"Headquarters forwards intelligence department telegram..."
"All the lights at the Xiaoguizi Airport around us are brightly lit, and the Xiaoguizi ground staff are making final preparations for the plane to take off..."
"Beiping Airport is also very busy, and there seem to be planes taking off after dawn."
"The deputy commander reminded us."
"The Japanese planes that attacked Chenjiazhuang Airport are likely to far exceed our expectations. Let us be mentally prepared in advance."
"It's really impossible to do anything. The troops participating in the war must withdraw from the battle immediately. Don't fight head-on with the Japanese aviation force."
"You can keep the green hills and you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."
"As long as we keep our troops, we will have plenty of opportunities to deal with the Japanese aviation force in the future."
"Maybe we can achieve another great victory no less than conquering Taiyuan Airport."
When he said the last few words, Kong Jie's tone became obviously solemn.
According to previous analysis, Okamura Neiji mobilized at most more than 20 aircraft to attack Chenjiazhuang Airport.
The air defense position in front of us is also arranged according to the standard of more than 20 aircraft.
If Peking Airport also mobilized aircraft to participate in the war, the number of Little Japanese aircraft attacking Chenjiazhuang Airport would probably exceed forty, and maybe even fifty.
Peiping is not only the location of the Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters, but also the location of the North China Japanese Air Force Headquarters.
Half of the aircraft equipped by the Japanese army in North China were parked at Peking Airport.
An aviation group can be dispatched at will to reinforce the battlefield.
By then, the pressure faced by the air defense forces will more than double than before, and the casualties and losses of the troops in battle will definitely increase exponentially.
Air strikes are different from other attacks.
An aerial bomb fell, killing dozens of soldiers instantly.
As the commander of the 6th Yizhong Army Division, Kong Jie will definitely find ways to reduce the losses of the troops as much as possible when the troops in the base area suffer heavy casualties.
When he thought of the huge casualties that the participating troops might face, he couldn't help but hesitate.
He immediately reminded Huang Yu: "Xiao Huang..."
"As soon as the Little Japanese Air Force stationed at Peiping Airport joins the war, the pressure on prevention and control we face will increase."
"I suggest that the next air defense combat units should withdraw as soon as they are good, and withdraw from the battle after achieving some results. They must not fight to the end with the Japanese aviation forces."
Huang Yu frowned and didn't answer.
After reading the telegram forwarded from the headquarters, I fell into deep thought. It took a full two minutes before I spoke: "No..."
"Commander..."
"Even if we pay a huge price in the battle..."
"We must also fight to the death with the Japanese aviation forces and take down as many aircraft as possible through this air defense battle."
Kong Jie's brows immediately furrowed into a big "Sichuan" sign, and he asked with confusion on his face: "Would it be a bit unreasonable to fight like this?"
"The combat principle of our Eighth Route Army is to use guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare to destroy the enemy and try to avoid fighting the enemy desperately."
"The troops paid a huge price just to take down a few Japs. I always feel it's a bit uneconomical."
"If these planes do not take off and are parked at their respective airports, and we have another chance to get close to the airport, a salvo of dozens of artillery guns can blow all these planes into scrap metal without sacrificing a single soldier."
Huang Yu shook his head and explained with a serious face: "Commander..."
"Through air defense warfare and fighting Japanese aircraft to the end, on the surface it seems that we are indeed suffering a lot, and even a bit outweighing the gains."
"After all, the Japs' plane is in the sky and we are on the ground."
"The anti-aircraft firepower may not be able to hit the Japanese aircraft at high altitude, but the aerial bombs dropped by the Japanese aircraft are very likely to hit us. No matter how you look at it, it will be a tough battle with heavy losses."
"But in the long run."
"The more aircraft we kill in this air defense battle, the greater the benefits will be in the future. Huge gains and benefits are definitely not something that can be obtained by sacrificing hundreds of soldiers."
Kong Jie is not a fool. As soon as Huang Yu said these words, he turned his attention to the Tianjin Pier on the map and subconsciously asked: "You mean the raid on the Tianjin Pier."
Huang Yu nodded: "Aircraft are different from infantry, and also different from other weapons and ammunition. It is difficult to obtain replenishment."
"Even the little devils with perfect military-industrial systems regard airplanes as treasures."
"Even if there are aircraft, priority will be given to replenishing the Pacific battlefield, the southern battlefield and the battlefield outside the customs, and finally the North China battlefield will be considered."
"As long as we can severely damage the Japanese North China Air Force, the little Japanese North China Front will have no aircraft available for a long time in the future."
"In the future, when we raid the Tianjin Pier, we will also take down the Peking Airport. From the Tianjin Pier to our base in the wing, the little Japanese on such a large battlefield will be in a dangerous situation without aircraft."
"Our troops can both fight during the day and transport loot during the day, clearing the Tianjin dock in the shortest time and ending the battle."
Kong Jie completely understood Huang Yu's thoughts, and then focused his eyes on the map in front of him.
A very serious analysis: "The Japanese North China Front only has so many aircraft. After being severely damaged by us, the remaining aircraft will definitely give priority to protecting Peiping and stationed at Peiping Airport. Then there will be no aircraft at the few Japanese airports around us."
"When we raided the Tianjin pier and captured the Peiping Airport, the air threat faced by the troops was gone."
"When the time comes, you can fight however you want."
"The baggage troops can also transport loot to the base area day and night, completely emptying the Tianjin dock."
"The casualties that will be reduced by the participating troops due to the loss of air threats will definitely be several times greater than the price we paid in this air defense war."
"I agree to fight to the death with the Little Japanese Air Force. If we can take down one more plane, we will take down one more..."
