But the chief of staff of the ground-air integrated command center first built by the Eighth Route Army was not Shen Quan, the commander of the third independent regiment of a team. Who else could it be?
Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan are also old comrades-in-arms.
Dabiao likes to play dumb.
Chen Quan likes to play dirty.
These two people were enemies. Zhang Dabiao believed that Shen Quan would only play dirty tricks and would not be able to get on the stage.
Shen Quan thinks that Zhang Dabiao has a stupid mind and is not suitable for command!
After this back and forth, there were more mutual quarrels, but a revolutionary friendship was born.
It's just that the two of them always like to compete.
The Independent Regiment grew rapidly under the leadership of Kong Jie. After it was expanded into the First Independent Anti-Japanese Detachment in Northwestern Shanxi, Shen Quan's position also increased and he was appointed as the leader of the Third Independent Regiment.
At this moment, Zhang Dabiao, who was just a battalion commander, was compared to him.
This time, I finally received an order from my superiors and came to this ground-air integrated command center to serve as deputy chief of staff.
Even though Zhang Dabiao was a little hesitant when he agreed and was worried that he wouldn't be able to do the job well, he was actually extremely happy.
One of them is just wondering, after this job transfer, can I finally catch up with Lao Shen?
Who would have thought, this turn of the head.
Got it!
Old Shen was directly appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Ground-Air Integrated Command Center, but he was overpowered!
Who do you want Zhang Dabiao to talk to?
Zhang Dabiao turned around and wanted to leave, but Shen Quan held him back with a smile.
"Haha, I mean, Da Biao, we old comrades haven't worked together for a long time. It's a coincidence that we can work together again!"
Chen Quan would be extremely happy. This time he heard that the headquarters had built a ground-air integrated command center, and he hadn't come to his senses yet!
Kong Jie, the old commander of the regiment, recommended to the headquarters that Shen Quan serve as the chief of staff of this ground-air integrated command center.
Speaking of which, Shen Quan is indeed talented in this area.
A team has a corresponding ground-air integrated command course.
Among the generals who took this course, Shen Quan's results have always been the best.
Although at that time, even the entire Eighth Route Army did not have a decent aircraft, let alone the aviation force that was now secretly built and could even compete with the Japanese flying force.
But Captain Kong’s vision is forward-looking.
He believed that the aviation force belonging to the Eighth Route Army would be established sooner or later, and that integrated ground-air command operations would certainly be indispensable.
Therefore, we prepared talents in advance.
This is a good tradition of the Eighth Route Army.
Yan'an even prepared pilots many years ago!
So Shen Quan took office.
But he never expected that such a good thing would happen. His deputy chief of staff turned out to be Zhang Dabiao!
Shen Quan immediately felt energetic.
……
HD Japanese Chengnan Airport.
After Captain Du's order was issued, the battle to encircle the Japanese troops into the independent first brigade began directly.
There is almost no suspense about the progress after the battle begins.
During the May Day raids, the little devils launched an unprecedented scale of raids but ended in disastrous defeat.
Since entering China, due to the constant pampering and the huge profits from business everywhere, the independents have gradually become corrupted and mixed into the first brigade. How can there be much will to fight to the death?
Especially after the confrontation between the two sides began.
News quickly came from the front, and many of the Eighth Route Army troops who appeared were even wearing steel helmets.
"General, he is a steel-helmeted soldier of the Eighth Route Army! The elite Eighth Route Army from Taihang is here!!!"
This sudden news was like a summons from the Palace of Hell. It frightened the old devil Suzuki so much that he almost subconsciously wanted to escape.
He knew exactly how tragic his brother Suzuki's death was.
After being captured by the Eighth Route Army, he was shot directly after a public trial.
He died with great shame.
When he thought of this, Major General Suzuki, who was so distraught, had no intention of fighting to the death. On the one hand, he quickly mobilized his deployment to be on guard against attacks by the Eighth Route Army troops at any time, and on the other hand, he quickly requested help from all parties.
As for the first person to ask for help, it was naturally Okamura Neji, his big backer behind Suzuki.
After the news reached the Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters.
Okamura was also surprised.
He suddenly realized that the battle around Licheng was not over. These damn Eighth Route Army seemed to want to put on a special performance at the end.
HD City is in an important location.
Chengnan Airport was used as a temporary airport this time, receiving a large number of fighter planes that were damaged in the air battle in Licheng and were forced to land nearby.
Okamura, who realized this, secretly said something was wrong.
Could it be that the Eighth Route Army received the intelligence and headed for the Chengnan Airport?
The bad news that came one after another made it difficult for Okamura to accept.
Not long ago, news came from Shanghai that three large military airports in the empire were raided by enemy fighter planes.
The specific damage is still being calculated, but according to the news, three large airports were severely damaged.
The enemy was very cunning. They hid their fighter planes in the returning flight groups, and very boldly and boldly went all the way to the military airport, pretended to make an emergency landing, and then directly launched a surprise attack during the emergency landing.
A large number of bombs and incendiary bombs almost flooded the entire airport.
The Shanghai side is holding Okamura's headquarters accountable, and requires the Japanese military in North China to quickly investigate and find out the specific situation. Where did this enemy plane group that sneakily attacked the large military airport in the Shanghai Empire come from.
After the news came, Okamura actually had some speculations.
But he was not willing to admit that he spent a lot of effort to deploy in the Licheng area and launch air strikes against the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit and the army stationed in Licheng.
Not only did it fail to achieve the expected combat objectives, but it caused heavy losses to various flying units. At present, even the large Imperial military airport in Shanghai may have been followed by the Eighth Route Army's secret aviation unit as the flying units returning from the Empire took the opportunity to launch an attack.
What about air strikes?
So, this takeoff was due to Okamura's command error, which caused great losses to the empire?
Under such circumstances, if HD Chengnan Airport is also lost.
Together with a large number of fighter planes from East China and Central China that were parked at the Chengnan Airport, they were all destroyed.
After repeated setbacks and humiliations, Okamura might have become a sinner of the empire.
With this in mind, Okamura, who did not dare to delay any longer, quickly passed the headquarters and, as commander-in-chief, issued combat orders to the various Japanese troops around the HD City South Airport to rush reinforcements to HD City.
Okamura also contacted the headquarters of the Japanese First Independent Mixed Brigade in HD City and expressed special comfort to Suzuki in the communication.
Indicates that reinforcements will arrive soon.
"You must defend HD City at all costs, especially the Empire's Chengnan Airport!"
Okamura gave the order almost in a roar.
Major General Suzuki had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept the order, and then while launching defense, he continued to communicate with various reinforcements.
Soon, Suzuki contacted the Northern Henan Harada Division and the Fourth Cavalry Brigade in the south.
In the news fed back by the Communications Department of the Harada Division, Harada, the old Japanese soldier, vowed: "According to the order of Your Excellency the Commander, our division is rapidly advancing towards HD City. Please rest assured, Mr. Suzuki, we will definitely provide reinforcements in time!"
The brigade commander of the 4th Cavalry Brigade basically responded in the same way.
After replying, the brigade leader immediately contacted the old Japanese Harada.
The two people have almost the same thoughts.
When Taiyuan City was besieged by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, they rushed to reinforce the city. However, they fell into the Eighth Route Army's trick and were almost annihilated by the entire army. The tragedy seems still vivid in our minds.
I'm running for reinforcements this late at night.
Are there any traps?
Could it be another trap deliberately set by the Eighth Route Army, just waiting for us to jump into it ourselves?
Lieutenant General Harada was completely frightened by the cunning Eighth Route Army. After discussing with the brigade commander of the Fourth Brigade, he finally decided.
Let’s gather together and conduct some reconnaissance first. As for reinforcing HD City, don’t be in a hurry!
Anyway, there is still the Independent First Mixed Brigade in HD City, plus a lot of troops assisting in the defense! You can’t be unable to hold on even for that moment, right?
Besides, Harada and the 4th Brigade did not send reinforcements in time, so there are always other reinforcements around who can send reinforcements in time, right?
Little did I know.
The remaining Japanese troops who received Okamura's order and rushed to reinforce HD City basically agreed with Harada.
For example, the Iinuma Guard SJZ Division in the north has just recaptured Jingxing and is dividing its forces to restore the Shota Line and the Shide Line and deploy defenses. Where can they dare to act rashly?
Also reinforce HD City?
You're talking nonsense!
The Nagaji Ishikawa Brigade in the west and Texas Colonel Tanaka in the east are directly from different factions. It would be nice not to add insult to injury. How could they go to reinforce HD?
Suzuki exploited many of their caravans in the name of the two, and they had already settled a grudge.
That's it.
The reinforcements from all walks of life seemed to have been discussed in advance. After Okamura's order was issued, they fully agreed to reinforce HD City. When they contacted Major General Suzuki, they constantly assured that the reinforcements were advancing rapidly, and soon
You can reach HD.
But in fact, it’s thunder but no rain.
Since suffering repeated setbacks at the hands of the Eighth Route Army until the disastrous defeat in the May Day raids, Okamura, as the commander-in-chief of the North China Front, had lost his original majesty.
The Japanese officers here are all very smart and have great ability to assess the situation.
How could one not know that the Commander-in-Chief may not be able to stay in this position for long.
When we follow orders, we begin to compromise, and even feel a little bit obedient.
Everyone responded verbally and gathered troops directly, but no one rushed to reinforce.
When contacting each other, the excuses used are flawless.
"The Eighth Route Army is so cunning. Who knows how many traps there are along the way? Only after reconnaissance to ensure that there is no danger along the way can we advance reinforcements!"
The Rintaro mixed brigade in the western Shandong area was ready to actively rescue, but found that the surrounding troops did not move, so he called Tanaka.
Tanaka told him that if the enemy's situation was unclear, he should not go deep alone.
His words were even more sincere: "Suzuki has always ignored us because he is a direct descendant of the Commander-in-Chief. Now we are giving him the chance to make meritorious deeds. Do you also want to get involved and make meritorious deeds? Follow Gang."
Return to the country and transfer to reserve service?"
These words immediately confused Lin Tailang.
Lin Tailang immediately decided to advance and retreat together with the reinforcements from all walks of life. Since you don't save me, then I won't save him either. I can't be the one who stands out, right?
Besides, if his troops rush over recklessly for reinforcements, aren’t they just sending food to the Eighth Route Army!
These Japanese officers are very courageous, and they seem to understand that the law does not punish the public. With so many reinforcements, no one goes to reinforce them, as if they have a tacit understanding with each other. Even your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief,
You can’t punish everyone, right?
The strength of the Eighth Route Army is obvious to all.
Didn’t your Excellency, Commander, also fight one big defeat after another?
……
HD city.
News of the battle situation ahead came one after another. He learned that the Eighth Route Army was attacking from all sides and almost surrounded his entire mixed brigade. The old Japanese Suzuki was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and kept walking back and forth at the headquarters.<
/p>
"Where are the reinforcements? Where are my reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements?"
"Quickly, contact the reinforcements from all walks of life immediately and urge them to hurry up and advance. Say that HD City is in urgent need of 100,000 yuan. I, Suzuki, have asked them!"
After one communication after another was passed on, the correspondent told Suzuki that the reinforcements from all walks of life were advancing rapidly and would arrive at HD City soon.
But this reply comes again and again.
But after all, no reinforcements were seen around HD City.
At this point, Suzuki still doesn't understand that these guys with their own agendas are clearly determined to avoid saving their lives!
"Bastards, these damn bastards, sooner or later the empire's great cause will be destroyed in their hands!" Major General Suzuki roared angrily, but there was nothing he could do.
After the encirclement operation planned by Captain Du was launched.
Reinforcements did not arrive in time.
How dare the old Japanese Suzuki fight to the death! During the confrontation between the two sides, they were forced to retreat step by step. Soon, the Japanese army was like a driven duck. According to Captain Du Zhi’s plan, they were driven to HD by various surrounding troops.
The cargo yard area in the north of the city.
The mausoleum without reinforcements was isolated and helpless, and he could only lead his team to rely on defenses to defend. As for the various military bases in HD City and the airport in the south of the city, he couldn't care about anything!
As for the commander's order to defend the Chengnan Airport at all costs, let him go to hell!
This is exactly the purpose of Captain Du Zhi.
This battle was originally started to seize the materials stored by the Japanese army in HD City, especially the resources and fighter planes at the airport south of the city.
"The aviation force of our Southern Hebei Military Region is all about this time!"
Successfully compressed all the Japanese troops stationed in HD City, mainly the Japanese First Independent Mixed Brigade, to the cargo yard in the north of the city.
The soldiers attacked from all directions and quickly defeated the remaining Japanese defenders. Then they occupied HD City and the Japanese airport south of the city, and began to seize supplies and transport them quickly...
