If Kong Jie were here, he would be no stranger to the so-called sticky tactics proposed by this old devil Tanabe.
Isn’t it just a flexible application of the so-called magnetic tactics invented by the American general Xiao Lizi a few years later!
And just when the Japanese were studying how to use so-called sticky tactics to carry out large-scale raids in the combat environment of the Eighth Route Army base area.
On the other side, Zhejiang, Quzhou area.
According to the rescue mission secretly given by Kong Jie, Duan Peng, the commander-in-chief of a commando team, and Ye Min, the deputy commander-in-chief, personally led a total of more than 40 members of the most elite commando team directly under the detachment to arrive near Tianmushan Town in secret.
Based on the information collected before leaving, plus some clues picked up along the way.
Duan Peng and Ye Min are already convinced that the target of the commando's rescue, that is, the members of the US military flight team that attacked Tokyo should have made an emergency landing in this area.
It seems that the little devils have also obtained the intelligence. In the past few days, they have also sent out a large number of search troops to hunt down these American pilots who made an emergency landing.
Japanese Army North China Dispatch Army Headquarters.
As early as two weeks ago, when the news of the US air strike on Tokyo came.
The old Japanese soldier Okamura's face turned livid with anger, and then he cursed the United States for being despicable and arrogant for daring to directly attack Kyoto, the Empire of Japan.
Due to the huge impact of this air raid, it soon became an international breaking news. The Japanese military government was furious about this. The people in Kyoto were affected by the disaster and accused the military of incompetence. In addition, the international public opinion direction
,The Japanese military is under great pressure.
In the end, the military determined that the US military pilots who had carried out the air raid on Tokyo had escaped from the plane and made an emergency landing in China, and then locked it in the Zhejiang area.
An order was immediately issued, requiring all parties in China to dispatch troops to join forces to capture all these audacious American pilots.
This time, in order to retaliate against the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States sent a flying team to attack Tokyo and succeeded. This was a loud slap in the face to the Japanese army.
For the Japanese army, if they cannot completely eliminate this flying team and capture these pilots, Japan's international status will definitely suffer a serious blow.
For this reason, the old Japanese man Okamura was furious and immediately mobilized all forces to launch a search and arrest in the Quzhou area and issued an absolute order:
"According to intelligence, there are at least dozens of US pilots who fell into China this time. We must find them all and see them alive and their bodies dead!"
... Duan Peng and Ye Min set out very early. After John found Kong Jie, Kong Jie reported to his superiors and sent a commando team to launch the rescue operation.
Even so, when the commando team rushed to the Quzhou area based on the intelligence given by Kong Jie, and with the cooperation of the local New Fourth Army troops, they searched everywhere for information, and finally arrived at the Tianmushan Town area.
The Japanese army has launched a layer-by-layer blockade outside this area in order to hunt down the US military pilots.
Although the commando members were originally elite and well-equipped, trying to find the scattered American pilots who had made an emergency landing in Quzhou, Ruoda with just over 40 people was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, there was help from the local New Fourth Army guerrilla troops.
The intelligence of these comrades can be said to be widespread, with people from all walks of life and identities throughout the southern region.
In the entire area, no matter what the disturbance is, it cannot escape their ears.
In the end, with the help of comrades from the New Fourth Army, the commando team secretly passed through the Japanese blockades one after another, successfully rushed to the Tianmu Mountain Town area, and successfully found the American pilot who was hidden and protected by the local people.
When the two sides met, because the commandos were well-equipped and equipped with American-style equipment, several Americans were frightened and immediately drew their guns, thinking that Japanese spies had found this place.
Fortunately, local people and comrades from the New Fourth Army came to explain, which made a few Americans lose their guard.
It’s time for introductions from both parties.
One of the Americans was in his 40s, with sparse hair and an unattractive beard. He enthusiastically shook hands with Duan Peng and Ye Min who were leading the team, and then introduced himself:
"Hello, I am Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle of the U.S. Army Aviation Corps. Thank you very much for your rescue this time!"
There was someone in the Yankee team who knew Chinese, and perhaps because he was considering an emergency landing in China, he translated what Doolittle said into English.
Finally we saw the target of this rescue operation.
..."Remember, Doolittle is an absolute talent. He is not only the commander of the US military flying force, but also a senior engineer in aviation.
You must bring this old guy back to me. If he doesn’t come, even if he is kidnapped, you have to kidnap him back to me!”
Before leaving, Kong Jie’s words of apology still ring in my ears.
The monk who was also on the side at that time was still a little confused and asked, "The leader is just an American. Is it such an exaggeration?"
Kong Jie said solemnly: "It's no exaggeration at all. Our Eighth Route Army is almost a blank slate in terms of aviation now. Aviation engineer talents like Doolittle are really scarce.
If you can trick this old guy, no, please come and help us develop our aviation industry.
The effect it can play is no less than that of three divisions.
So you should understand, right?"
Back to the present moment, remembering Kong Jie's instructions, Ye Min saluted Doolittle with a military salute and immediately prepared to introduce himself.
"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel, we are eight..."
"We are the special rescue operation team of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army, which regards you US military pilots as our closest friends. My name is Duan Peng, and I am the captain of the special rescue operation team."
"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Du!"
Duan Peng said his final greeting in English, which surprised Doolittle.
"Captain Duan, do you know English?"
"I know a little bit." Duan Peng replied, muttering in his heart that the English he had spent so much hard work to learn finally came in handy.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
I remember that when Kong Jie asked the elite commando members to learn English, some of them still didn’t understand.
On the one hand, they think that the biggest enemy right now is the Japanese army, and learning Japanese is enough. Why should we learn English?
Kong Jie’s explanation for this is:
"More skills don't overwhelm you, and the enemy is never static. Who knows if we are little devils today and will become a bunch of English-speaking bastards tomorrow?"
This explanation may not be easy for everyone to understand.
After all, the current relationship between English-speaking and Chinese-speaking people is still a military alliance.
Kong Jie went on to explain: "The most widely used language in the world right now is English, and many valuable military and civilian materials are written in English.
If we don’t learn English well, we will be deceived by others and help others sell money!
Besides, we are now cooperating with Americans in many channels, so we can’t even understand English, right?”
Just like that, the team members began the arduous journey of learning English.
Kong Jie also specially invited some Americans and British men as gentlemen.
After a period of study, although Duan Peng and his party could not become proficient in English, their daily communication was basically no problem.
In the subsequent exchange, Doolittle said that many of them were still hiding in the village. They were currently in the Japanese blockade and were having a headache on how to break out.
In addition, there are many teammates who completely lost contact during the emergency landing and may be in desperate situations.
Duan Peng immediately said that he would do his best to help rescue the American pilots, for which Doolittle was deeply grateful.
After avoiding Doolittle, Ye Min asked in private, "Old Duan, why didn't you tell this Yankee that we are the Eighth Route Army?"
Duan Peng smiled and said: "Old Ye, why are you so honest?
In the eyes of these Americans, the Central Army is obviously more trustworthy than us. It is well-equipped, rich, and a regular army.
If we say that we are the Eighth Route Army, maybe this Yankee will refuse to leave with us, and maybe we will really have to kidnap him.
It would be inconvenient to walk on the road.
Besides, we already belong to the National Revolutionary Army, so there’s nothing wrong with introducing us like this!"
Ye Min suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "So that's what happened, Lao Duan, you have learned so badly!"
"Haha, if you are really bad at it, you should have learned it from the detachment leader!" Duan Peng said.
Now that we have successfully found these US military pilots, we have also found the most important US military Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle among the target persons.
After Duan Peng and Ye Min discussed it, they found Doolittle and said that the current situation was long nights and many dreams, and the action team was ready to take all pilots, including the wounded, to set off immediately to break out of the Japanese blockade.
Doolittle said that he and his team members can all be incorporated into the battle order and fight with Duan Peng and his party.
The old man was very stubborn about this, "Although we are pilots, we are not unable to fight without leaving the plane. We are all elites when we fight on land."
Duan Peng did not refuse, but specially arranged some team members to take special care of these US military pilots. It is necessary to send many of the talents mentioned by these detachment leaders back to the base area.
When preparing to set off at night, the villagers who helped cover Doolittle and his party came to say goodbye.
Doolittle hugged and shook hands with the villagers one by one, bursting into tears.
Before leaving, Doolittle and his party said that there was no other way to express their gratitude, so they left some of the equipment and supplies they brought with them to the local people.
Not only as a gift, but also as a souvenir.
Fortunately, Duan Peng still remembered Kong Jie's instructions before leaving and quickly stopped this behavior.
"Lieutenant Colonel, you can't do this. The little devils are crazy. They are searching for you privately. If they can't find you and see the items you left behind among the people, they will probably spread their anger on the people and even carry out wanton attacks.
Massacre.
You have good intentions, but if things go wrong and you harm the people, it will be more than worth the loss."
Doolittle immediately woke up and after explaining to the villagers, both parties waved goodbye reluctantly.
Before leaving, Duan Peng also specifically told the villagers to eliminate the traces of the flight team's arrival and never let the little devils find any flaws.
During the final breakout, Duan Peng, Ye Min and other commandos left a deep impression on Doolittle and his party with their superb military qualities and special coordination tactics.
After the battle broke out under unavoidable circumstances, the combat effectiveness displayed by these Chinese commandos even amazed these Americans.
So much so that the team broke through the three lines of defense of the Japanese army in one breath. After being temporarily safe, Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle said with sincere emotion:
"So, are all your Chinese soldiers so good?"
Then there was doubt, "Then why did I hear that your Anti-Japanese War was extremely difficult, and you often lost battles, and your land area was lost again and again?"
Duan Peng smiled and said nothing, he couldn't explain this.
Anyway, the whole blame falls on Jiang Jun.
A straight-tempered American said, "Lieutenant Colonel, I heard that the Chinese army has first-rate soldiers, second-rate generals, and third-rate commanders.
Perhaps it was for this reason that they fought so hard against Japan."
Doolittle nodded thoughtfully and did not continue the topic.
Three days later.
Under the protection of Duan Peng, Ye Min and the commando team members, a total of more than 40 US military pilots were rescued, and they successfully escaped from the daily blockade and arrived at a safer area.
The process was fairly smooth, and there were a few near misses.
Under the leadership of Duan Peng and Ye Min, everyone traveled day and night, pretending all the way. When they encountered a small group of Japanese troops, they directly eliminated them, so they quickly evacuated after setting up a suspicious formation.
The battle ended so quickly that the Japanese reinforcements could not catch up in time.
At night, a commando team took the lead in touching down the Japanese troops on the position, straddling the position, and even climbing over the city wall using climbing ropes overnight.
The whole process is like a magic weapon.
Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle exclaimed: "If we, the pilots, were able to attack Tokyo by relying on thorough intelligence, excellent fighter jets and combat equipment, we can be regarded as aerial warriors.
Captain Duan, then you are the ace soldiers of the Chinese Army."
One time, it was necessary to break through the Japanese fortifications stuck in the pass at night.
The commando members fired a volley of rocket launchers, directly blowing up the Japanese stronghold and gun towers, and forced a breakthrough.
Coupled with the American equipment, Doolittle sighed that their country's equipment support to the Chinese army was not wasted.
Duan Peng just smiled and still didn't explain anything.
On the fourth day, Duan Peng said to Doolittle: "Lieutenant Colonel, now you and my deputy captain will move to our stable defense area.
I have also received information that some of your team members have fallen into the hands of the Japanese army. I will find a way to rescue them.
Next, we divided into two groups, and now we are leaving!"
After hearing what Duo Peng said, Doolittle said without hesitation:
"Duan, let us go with you! After all, we are here to save our companions!"
Duan Peng refused: "Lieutenant Colonel, this is my mission, you just follow my deputy captain to evacuate. Don't worry, I will definitely save your other pilots from the Japanese. Besides, you also have
Wounded."
"No, the wounded can stay, but others must participate in the battle!" Doolittle insisted, "As soldiers, when we decided to participate in this air raid, we no longer considered life and death! We did not even consider whether we could
Survive."
"Lieutenant Colonel, when you say this, do you think we Chinese soldiers are afraid of death?
In order to win this anti-aggression war, we don’t know how many lives we have paid. We are not afraid of death, but we are afraid that there will be no hope in the end.
The mission I received this time is to rescue all of you Lieutenant Colonels one by one. In the future, if you stay with us, you will be able to play a greater role, instead of taking risks in the next operations!" p>
Looking at the extremely determined young man in front of him, Doolittle was shaken.
He was shocked and admired by the Chinese soldiers with firm eyes in front of him.
He finally nodded and agreed to evacuate with Ye Min and his party...
