After lunch, Gao Hongming, who was busy taking a break, came to take a rest in the shade of a tree not far from the headquarters, escorted by Dabao and four guards.
In a daze, Gao Hongming vaguely heard Dabao talking to someone.
"Sir Huang, the young master has not had a good night's sleep for a week, and now he finally takes a nap.
If you have nothing urgent, please come back in an hour."
A familiar voice immediately sounded: "Major Gao, if this matter wasn't urgent, do you think I would disturb the commander at this time?"
"But the young master is really too tired. For half an hour... can you please let the young master sleep well for half an hour? I, Gao Dabao, beg you."
"Then...okay..."
Gao Hongming, who was in a daze, ignored the conversation between the two. Just like Dabao said, he was too tired.
He hasn't had a good sleep for a week in a row. Even though he has a good physique, he can't stand it. Who cares, let's get a good sleep first.
I don't know how long it took before Dabao woke him up.
"Master, Chief Yang has been waiting for you for more than half an hour."
Gao Hongming yawned loudly, stretched again, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and then said: "Let him come over."
Soon, Huang Huaimin appeared in front of him.
Gao Hongming pointed to the cigarette on the ammunition box nearby and motioned for him to take one, "I heard Dabao said that you have been waiting for me for more than half an hour. What's going on?"
Huang Huaimin shook his head with a smile, took out a telegram from his pocket and handed it to him: "Sir, a telegram from my hometown. Chief Yan of the World War II Zone sent us a telegram yesterday.
According to the investigation, the First Army in Shanxi has been mobilized frequently recently, and there are suspected signs of attacking Taiyuan again. Commander Yan hopes that we can be prepared."
"be prepared?"
Gao Hongming was stunned for a while. He took the telegram and read it at a glance, with a strange expression on his face.
"What preparations should we make? The Japanese want to attack Taiyuan, not our Liantai.
Commander Yan said this as if I was the commander-in-chief of the World War II area.
Besides, Taiyuan is now garrisoned by five divisions of the Jin-Sui Army, so what is he afraid of?"
"Sir, you still don't understand."
Seeing Gao Hongming's confused look, Huang Huaimin sighed: "Just the day before yesterday, you just airlifted the 4th and 5th battalions stationed near Niangziguan to Myanmar. Also came to Myanmar with the battalion.
The Second Artillery Battalion at Niangziguan.
In this extraordinary period, can Chief Yan not think too much?"
"So that's what happened." Gao Hongming couldn't help but dumbfounded after hearing this, "What on earth did Commander Yan think? It's only three battalions. For the Jinsui Army, which has a big family and a big business, this amount of troops can't be said to be a drop in the bucket.
, but it’s nothing to the entire Taiyuan defense circle, right?”
"Sir, why don't you understand yet?"
Huang Huaimin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Is Chief Yan worried about those three battalions? He is worried about your change in attitude towards the Jinsui Army.
Don’t forget, how long has it been since you last returned to Liantai County and how long have you not met with Chief Sun Chu and Chief Yang Aiyuan?”
"So this is ah."
Gao Hongming suddenly realized.
He touched his chin, and after recalling it, he was shocked to realize that he had been particularly busy since he went to the Pacific Islands at the beginning of the year to visit Chi Yaohui and the dispatch team who fought bloody battles with the Japanese army on Guadalcanal.
A few days after returning from Guadalcanal, I was coaxed by Chiang Kai-shek to go to Burma, and my contact with the Shanxi-Sui Army was indeed much less.
Now that the troops who originally assisted in the defense of Taiyuan have been transferred away, this move will definitely make Yan Laoxi think of many bad things. This telegram is just a test.
Thinking of this, Gao Hongming felt helpless. It was really tiring to deal with these old foxes. These people were too ill-intentioned.
"Old Huang, you will send a telegram back to Yan Laoxi later and tell him that we can send a fighter squadron and a B-25 bomber squadron to temporarily station at Taiyuan Airport, but they will have to pay for the garrison of this brigade. You see
How about it?"
"High...it's really high!"
Huang Huaimin slapped his thigh, "I can guarantee that as soon as our plane arrives at Taiyuan Airport, let alone asking Chief Yan to pay for the military expenses, even if he is asked to pay a hard-earned fee, he will definitely pay for it immediately without saying anything."
Huang Huaimin's words were not purely flattering, but he knew how much the combat effectiveness of the Shanxi-Sui Army would be improved once the two squadrons were stationed at Taiyuan Airport.
Let's put it this way, if these two squadrons were replaced by two brigades, Yan Xishan would probably dare to command his troops to regain Datong.
There is no way, having a powerful air force is so awesome.
The Yankees are the best example.
Why did the American soldiers of later generations dare to show off their power and stir up trouble all over the world?
Do you really think the U.S. Army soldiers are so powerful?
wrong……
What Americans are really proud of is their air power.
If you watch movies and TV shows, you will know that their army is adhering to the principle that when trouble comes, the air force will come to help.
Once you encounter a tough nut, call the air force immediately.
And they can always get support from the air force in the shortest possible time, which gives the American soldiers the confidence to attack whoever they want.
After getting the answer, Huang Huaimin ran away with satisfaction, but Gao Hongming suddenly remembered something and called Huang Huaimin back after he had just taken a few steps.
"Old Huang, the new 22nd Division and the temporary 55th Division have been fighting the Japanese 55th Division for several days, but they still haven't been able to defeat it.
Didn't I ask you to support them more, but why is the progress still so slow? Is it because you have no intention?"
"Sir, you have wronged the department."
Huang Huaimin quickly explained, "In the past three days, the bombs we dropped on the head of the Wufifteenth Division alone were no less than four to five hundred tons, and some positions were flattened by one or two meters.
According to statistics, the casualties of the 55th Division have already exceeded half, but they refused to retreat. Now Commander Gan Lichu is so anxious that he has moved the headquarters to the headquarters of the newly formed 22nd Division.
Division commander Liao Yaoxiang even personally went to the regiment headquarters to take command.
Now both sides are furious. Chen Mianwu was hit by a stray bullet yesterday and his entire arm was almost scrapped. However, he still insists on commanding. Can you say that we are not careful?"
Gao Hongming was speechless for a moment. He was silent for a moment and then asked: "If we add more air support, can we defeat the 55th Division as soon as possible?"
Huang Huaimin pondered for a moment, "According to the reports of the troops participating in the war, the 55th Division has now learned the lesson. They have dug relatively complete anti-gun holes and air-raid shelters, and they are very well concealed. It is difficult for heavy bombs to hit directly.
destroy."
Gao Hongming's mouth showed a trace of cruelty, "Then don't use high-explosive bombs, use white phosphorus bombs and napalm bombs instead.
Since they don’t plan to come out, they can stay in the turtle shell and be bastards forever!”
