???????Although it was expected, the battle started suddenly one night.
???????Just after twelve o'clock that night, Wang Xuexin was still reading the training report under the oil lamp in the dormitory... The training at Liyuan Airport was no easier than that of other troops. They had to train the "La 5" fighter jets
They also need to train in the driving and combat of the "La 5" fighter plane.
Parachuting originally requires some skills and experience and is not so easy to accomplish.
????????Because bullets are relatively sensitive to collisions, if they are being transported normally, it will be fine, but if they are dropped from a high altitude and hit violently, they are likely to detonate, even if they are not detonated under a huge impact.
Transformation and other things will also bring a lot of uncertainty to the battlefield.
????????But this problem is nothing to the bear... At this time, the bear is even trying to airdrop tanks.
To be precise, it is not an airdrop of a tank. With the airdrop technology at this time, it is almost impossible to ensure that the tank is intact after being airdropped.
Mao Xiong creatively installed a light tank on a glider so that it could take off and land, but the idea was abandoned after only one test flight because the risk was too high and it was deemed not worth doing.
Air-dropping ammunition is naturally a trivial matter to them, so they immediately imported a batch of parachutes for air-dropping from Mao Xiong.
What troubles Wang Xuexin is that because the "La 5" is made of wood, its load-bearing capacity is low, and it can only carry 150 kilograms of bombs under the wings... Worry about being too heavy?
The wings will break under the influence of wind resistance.
The weight of ak47 single bullet is 7.9 grams.
????????150 kilograms means less than 19,000 rounds of ammunition.
????????This sounds like a lot, more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition, but you must know that it is an AK47... Taking 120 rounds (4 magazines) for a soldier as a base calculation, these 19,000 rounds of ammunition are only enough
158 soldiers fight a battle, which is only enough for one reinforced company.
Based on this calculation, if there are more than 7,000 people in the three regiments, a random battle would require 44 "La 5" aircraft to airdrop a batch of ammunition, and this is to ensure that every airdrop can be delivered in place.
????????This efficiency is a bit low, especially the "Pull 5" used... This does not mean that the Eighth Route Army cannot afford "Pull 5", but that it cannot afford pilots.
???????So Wang Xuexin considered a question: Should it be time to import some transport aircraft from Mao Xiong, but... Mao Xiong himself was short of transport aircraft, and they also changed bombers into transport aircraft. This situation changed from theirs
Is it inappropriate to import transport aircraft?
?????????Just when Wang Xuexin was in trouble, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door. Zhang Zongping reported outside: "Captain, the Japanese have begun to attack!"
????????Wang Xuexin was startled, at this moment?
????????? He was confused in his heart but he was not slow in his hands. He took off the armed belt from the wall and buckled it on before walking out the door. When he saw Zhang Zongping head-on, he asked: "Is it a big fight or a small fight?"
"Big fight!" Zhang Zongping replied as he walked: "From Luliang Mountain to Zhongtiao Mountain, the first batch of troops to be invested will include at least two divisions!"
???????Wang Xuexin was stunned again, there is no Daqingshan?
After arriving at the headquarters, Wang Xuexin’s doubts were indeed verified: the Japanese did not attack Daqingshan.
????????This was beyond Wang Xuexin’s expectation.
????????It should be said that it was beyond everyone’s expectations, including the headquarters.
Because there are two gaps in the Eighth Route Army's defense line, one is Yuncheng and the other is Daqingshan.
????????Obviously Daqingshan is much easier to fight than Yuncheng.
?????????But the Japanese chose Yuncheng instead of Daqingshan.
???????This also disrupted Wang Xuexin's idea: he originally wanted to wait for the Japanese to launch an attack in Daqingshan, know the weak points of the Japanese, and then launch a counterattack.
But now, the enemy in front of Daqingshan is motionless. If the mechanized troops of the Eighth Route Army attack rashly, they are likely to plunge into the Japanese encirclement and be eaten in two hits.
Chen Songyong analyzed: "Captain, do you think it could be... We are equipped with repeating rifles, and also have 'La 5' fighter planes. The Japanese believe that it is not easy to defeat Daqingshan, so
Just turned to Yuncheng?"
Wang Xuexin shook his head and replied: "Yuncheng also has the First Air Force of our army, not to mention... repeating rifles can be equipped with Yuncheng defenders at any time, and 'La5' can also fly to Yuncheng for reinforcements.
!”
?????????Chen Songyong has nothing to say.
????????Because this is indeed the case. If the production of repeating rifles is insufficient to equip the Yuncheng defenders, it will still be difficult, but it is only a matter of minutes for the "La 5" to fly to Yuncheng.
Zhang Zongping guessed: "Could that be... attacking from the east and attacking from the west? The Japanese are clearly targeting Yuncheng, but they actually want our army to move the 'La 5' to the south?"
This statement is more reliable, but Wang Xuexin does not think that Okamura Neji would do such a stupid thing. He knows that Wang Xuexin cannot be so easily fooled.
????????but……
?????????What made the Japanese attack Yuncheng?
???????And also uncharacteristically chose to fight at night?
?????????Just when Wang Xuexin and others couldn't figure out the Japanese's intentions, a communications soldier handed a telegram to Wang Xuexin: "Report to the head of the regiment, there's a call from headquarters!"
?????????Wang Xuexin took a look at the telegram and saw that it read: "The Japanese in the direction of Xi'an have made strange movements!"
"Xi'an?" Then Wang Xuexin understood that the Japanese were planning to bypass the Eighth Route Army's defense line and penetrate from behind.
?????????This also explains why the Japanese attacked Yuncheng instead of Daqingshan.
Xi'an is behind Yuncheng. The Japanese will penetrate from there and surround Yuncheng from the rear in a short time.
As for why the Japanese chose to start the war at night... they must have been worried that their special force in Xi'an would be discovered too early by the Eighth Route Army if they attacked during the day!
????????However, the whereabouts of the Japanese were still discovered by the Eighth Route Army.
What Wang Xuexin didn’t know was that this was not discovered by the Eighth Route Army, but by the stubborn army.
At this time, the Japanese were attacking Xi'an... During the entire Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese attacked Xi'an 6 times, but each time they returned without success.
This is because the terrain of Xi'an is very dangerous, and Shaanxi is full of high mountains and ridges that are not suitable for the transportation of heavy equipment and supplies by the Japanese. At the same time, Xi'an is the gateway to Chongqing, so the recalcitrant army must of course be heavily guarded.
This time the Japanese attack on Xi'an was a bit strange. They only built a defense line outside the city and bombed it with artillery fire and fighter planes. They did not launch a direct offensive. Even if they did, it was only symbolic.
????????The Japanese’s style of fighting even the “corrupt general” stationed in Xi’an found it strange.
????????In this case, the "corrupt general" sent intelligence personnel to inquire about the information, and the information they received was that the Japanese were secretly gathering troops to move north. It seemed that they had other intentions.
Needless to say, what else is pointed out? To the north, of course, it is aimed at the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.
"Corrupt General" was not sure at first, until I heard that the Japanese were launching a full-scale attack on the Eighth Route Army in the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain and Luliang Mountain...
????????To launch a frontal attack to attract the attention of the Eighth Route Army, and then suddenly launch a sneak attack from behind, this move is very vicious.
