Kitagawa said: "Inoue-kun, I really have something related to the safety of your First Air Force Airport. It is not convenient to discuss this matter on the phone. Izumi Yosaburo from the Special High School can meet with you on my behalf. Details
He will report the situation to you. When is it convenient for you? I will ask him to find you."
Inoue said: "We thought of going together. I have been worried about the security of the airport these two days. I am free now, please ask Izumi Yosaburo to come over."
Kitagawa put down the phone. Izumi Yosaburo, who had already heard the content of the call, stood up and said: "Your Excellency Sir Lingguan, I will leave my humble post now. See if you have anything else to explain."
Kitagawa waved his hand and said: "There's nothing more. Just say whatever you want and go do the work of Commander Inoue. Here I will also go to Deputy Chief of Staff Watanabe of the Front Army and ask him to report it to the Chief of Staff first.
Just tell me, let's work together to promote this matter."
"Ha Yi." Izumi Yangsaburo put his legs together, stood at attention, bowed to Beichuan, then turned and left.
Xu Dalong decided to attack the Japanese airport. He knew very well that although many Japanese and puppet plainclothes intelligence agents had been eliminated, it was still difficult to hide the actions of so many troops from the eyes and ears of the Japanese army. Therefore, the only option was to consider a storm.
In order to be able to complete the task while minimizing losses, Xu Dalong and Li Changshui briefly discussed and decided to convene a cadre meeting to discuss action plans together.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon that day, Xu Dalong, Li Changshui, Wei Dayong, Sun Desheng, the leaders of the 16th Regiment and the 24th Regiment of the Jizhong Military Region, Commissioner Zheng, and the local county team leader attended the military meeting.
Wang Youjun, the captain of the county team, is only 27 years old this year. He has fair skin and does not look shy. My education level is very low. I once studied at Yanjing Primary School in Peking. Due to the war, I was still one year short of graduation.
Participated in anti-Japanese activities. During the war, I gradually grew into the captain of the county team.
Wang Youjun was a local and was very unfamiliar with the situation in that area. Wu Piaoqing first arranged for me to introduce the terrain, people's sentiments, and the enemy situation that I knew about the area.
Inoue did not delay. Before Quan Xu Dalong went to the First Air Force, I called the front army headquarters. However, the deputy chief of staff I was looking for went out temporarily and came back after a while.
At 1 o'clock at midnight the next day, Sun Desheng gave the order to attack. The 16th Regiment, the 24th Regiment of the Central Hebei Military Region, and the seven cavalry battalions followed by Wu Piaoqing attacked the Japanese and puppet troops from the east, west, south, and west of the airport.
launched an attack.
Wu Piao was worried about the safety of the airport. After listening to Quan Xu Dalong's suggestion, the seven of them hit it off. Beichuan decided to go to see Commander Si of the front army in person and made a request to me to have the 14th Division send troops immediately to drive away Sun Desheng.
department to ensure that the airport is in good condition.
Considering that it was impossible for Japanese bombers to take off to join the battle during the day, Sun Desheng decided to launch an attack at night in order to increase casualties.
That afternoon, Quanxu Dalong went to the headquarters of the First Air Force, met with Commander Beichuan, and reported his intentions to me.
Before introducing some basic information, I said: "Dear commanders, the Japanese air force has poor military discipline and is often accompanied by local Japanese and puppet troops to distant villages and towns to harm the people. The people hate us to the core.
Your county team has not planned to attack the Japanese airport for a long time, and has made very few preparations for this. You have visited the airport a few times to conduct reconnaissance, and now you are more familiar with the outside situation."
My adjutant said that it was impossible for him to come back from get off work this morning, so Inoue decided to meet with the deputy chief of staff tomorrow afternoon.
Things in the world are not so coincidental. Wu Piaoqing is a lucky person, and even God is helping me. The withdrawal of all the units of the Fourth Route Army that participated in the war was very smooth, and they arrived at the specified time, not at midnight.
respective combat areas.
As I said that, I handed the drawing in my hand to Yang Sanlang. Yang Sanlang reached out to take it and spread it under the table. When everyone saw this, they all stood up together and gathered around.
Wang Youjun was very considerate. I organized 30 veterans from the county team who were unfamiliar with the local conditions to serve as guides for each unit. The county team organized a stretcher team and took the initiative to take on the task of providing food for each unit.
After the attack was launched, Sun Desheng still had no worries. I only asked the ground in Peiping to monitor the movements of the Japanese 14th Division, and also asked the special operations team to send some scouts to monitor the barracks of the 14th Division's garrison.
The content of what Wang Youjun said was very small and very detailed, and my structure was also very unclear, making it difficult for everyone to hear.
Waiting until 10 o'clock in the evening, both the ground forces in Peiping and the scouts sent by the special operations team came back with bad news: had there been any unusual movements in the Japanese 14th Division?
Everything is ready, just waiting to launch an attack on the Japanese airport this evening.
Wang Youjun has always hoped that he can work in the main force. Even if he is demoted to become a company instructor or a company commander, I am willing to do so. After all, there is no broader development prospect in the main force. Sun Desheng is really too unknown.
If you follow me, you won't have a far future. That's what Wang Youjun only dreamed of.
Wu Piaoqing was worried that after his troops launched an attack, the Japanese 14th Division would not make any new moves. If this was the case, the combat plan would have to be temporarily postponed and other fighters would be found.
Everyone was very surprised when they saw the map. The map was only marked in great detail, and the picture was very muddy. The scale, markings, and symbols were all very professional and standardized. Compared with the small number of staff officers in the army,
The level of professionalism is much lower. But that's all, I also wrote very beautiful pen calligraphy, which is pleasing to the eye.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Before the big episode, the meeting returned to the main topic. Sun Desheng said: "The situation introduced by Captain Wang is not very vague anymore. Let's discuss it now.
Specific operational plan for attacking the airport."
After full discussion, the meeting decided that the 16th Regiment and the 24th Regiment would launch attacks on the Japanese and puppet troops on the east and west sides of the Japanese airport respectively, while Wei Dayong's troops following the Mawushan Military Division in the south would launch an attack. The purpose of those troops was not to directly capture the Japanese troops.
The airport is to entangle the enemy, cover the special forces, protect the rocket artillery battalion from arriving at the artillery position, and use rocket artillery to bombard the enemy's airport.
Seeing Wu Piao's vow, Quan Wu Piao thought that I would go to the front army's headquarters right away. Unexpectedly, Wu Piao said that I didn't have an important meeting this morning and had to attend a banquet in the evening. I would meet again tomorrow morning.
Go to the front headquarters.
Sun Desheng nodded frequently before reading and said with appreciation: "Captain Wang, I think he doesn't have such a low staff level. Where did he learn that from?"
Sun Desheng smiled and said: "Captain Wang, he is a talent. After that battle is over, you hope he can work by your side. Do you want to know if he is willing?"
Sun Desheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Oh no, that matter has been decided. You will tell his subordinates and transfer him over after the battle is over."
Since there were no small units of the Fourth Route Army blocking the Japanese army in the rear, the rocket launcher battalion was not hindered in any way and successfully retreated into the distance of the artillery attack. The rocket launcher battalion was organized into eight companies, each with four rocket vehicles.
Launch vehicles, a total of 27 rocket launch vehicles are lined up in order.
Wang Youjun said respectfully: "Report to Captain Xu, you learned these by yourself. You have also consulted some professionals to know whether they meet the requirements outside our army."
The firing commander who arrived late at the far end of the airport immediately made calculations and revised the design elements before passing them on to the artillery positions.
Wang Youjun was appreciated by Wu Piaoqing, which made the cadres attending the meeting envious, especially the cadres of the 16th Regiment and the 24th Regiment. We congratulate Wang Youjun.
Sun Desheng was worried. I planned to use two and a half hours to complete the task of destroying the Japanese airport. I am sure that the small Japanese army has not been dispatched yet. By the time we notice it, reinforcements will not come in time.
Therefore, Wu Piaoqing decisively gave the order to set off. All units were already ready and rushed to their respective combat areas immediately before receiving the order.
Having said that, I took out a drawing from a document bag I carried with me and said, "You marked the terrain of the airport and the situation of the Japanese and puppet army's defenses there."
What Quan Xu Dalong knows is that Beichuan does not have anything important to do today. It is the important meeting or banquet that I mentioned. My son flew over from Nanjing to visit me this morning. Father and son
It had been two years since the seven of them had seen each other, and Beichuan planned to go to the airport to greet them in person.
Since Sun Desheng was young, he has been lacking a staff officer with low educational level and no deep military literacy. Now Wang Youjun is suitable for both aspects. Moreover, my conversation and behavior are very uncultivated, which makes Wu Piaoqing feel very comfortable. At that time, I started to
Love of talent.
The gunners quickly loaded the rockets. Before the loading was completed, a rocket launcher first fired two rockets in the direction of the airport. Since it was at night, in order to accurately hit the target, the rockets had to retreat for test firing. Airport provided by Wang Youjun
The coordinates were very precise. Although the two rockets did not directly hit the important target under the airport, they did not land on the lawn far away from the airport runway.
Seeing that Sun Desheng was willing to promote me, I felt flattered and said excitedly: "Yes, you are willing. Thank you Captain Xu for taking me seriously. By your side, you will definitely work hard and I will definitely disappoint you."
The artillery battalion commander gave the order for the artillery bombardment, and the gunners immediately made adjustments according to the new firing conditions. Before the preparations were completed, the battalion commander gave the order for the artillery bombardment.
Quan Xu Dalong was secretly anxious, but as a senior officer and a local, I didn't want to say anything, so I just said goodbye and left.
