The subsequent development was as Wang Xuexin estimated, that is, the actual situation was much more tragic than Wang Xuexin imagined... The main reason was that it was difficult for the stubborn army to fight hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese. In this regard, both in terms of momentum and technology, they were far behind the Japanese.
Devils, so more people and longer time are needed.
The battle to retake Zhengzhou started three days later.
The reason why we only prepare for three days is because we consider two aspects:
First, the shorter the time, the shorter the preparation time for the Japanese. Especially at this time, the Japanese had only taken Zhengzhou for a few days. They were only focused on burning, killing and looting and were completely unprepared. Once the Japanese had looted and killed enough, they would feel at ease.
The city is garrisoned.
Second, the shorter the time, the more people can be saved. At the same time, the Twelve Army will get more support from the people after they attack the city.
Therefore, although the Twelfth Army was not fully prepared in three days, the commander still gritted his teeth and set the time for the attack.
Then they sent intelligence agents to sneak into the city, organize death squads, etc., and they were very busy.
All this was hidden from the corrupt commander, because the military commander did not want anything to go wrong.
The preparations for the Eighth Route Army were very simple, which was to prepare a batch of rockets, then follow the report sent by the army commander to allocate and identify the positions, and took off all thirty rocket fighters in the early morning of the attack.
Okamura Neji's side could actually see the Eighth Route Army fighter planes taking off, and night fighters were also sent to intercept them.
But Okamura Neiji miscalculated again this time: He always thought that the Eighth Route Army would take off its fighter planes at this early morning, and its destination would be Biyuan and Lingye airports. Unexpectedly, the Eighth Route Army's fighter planes would turn around halfway and head straight for Zhengzhou.
.
Only then did Neji Okamura realize that he had been deceived. The Eighth Route Army's target was Zhengzhou, and it was very likely that he had negotiated with the stubborn army to cooperate in attacking Zhengzhou.
Okamura Neiji immediately called Osana Nomura who was stationed in Zhengzhou and asked: "Are you ready to meet the enemy? The enemy is about to counterattack!"
"Ready!" Colonel Nomura stepped forward and replied.
But in fact, Colonel Nomura had no preparation at all. Not long ago, he was practicing sword skills with ordinary people for fun. He was not from a samurai family and yearned for the glory of a samurai. He could not achieve it in ordinary times, so he could only rely on the unarmed people of Zhengzhou.
Get addicted to your object.
Neji Okamura immediately knew that Nomura's answer was just perfunctory, so he cursed: "Asshole, do you think I'm kidding? The Eighth Route Army's plane is on its way to Zhengzhou and will fly over your head in a few minutes.
In addition, tens of thousands of stubborn troops may have been ambushed outside the city, and they will launch a fatal blow at you after bombing!"
Nomura was so scolded by Okamura Neji that he broke into a cold sweat on the spot... Plane bombing? Is there an ambush outside the city?
Nomura didn't think much and immediately shouted to the adjutant: "Get ready for battle! Everyone get into position..."
Before he finished speaking, Nomura suddenly noticed several piles of flames lighting up in the darkness.
Nomura immediately understood that it was to guide the aircraft in the sky, and immediately changed the order: "Extinguish the fire immediately!"
But it was already too late. As soon as the adjutant stepped forward, the sound of the aircraft's engine was faintly heard in the air.
Then there was a chaotic "whoosh" sound, and the sound of fire and explosions resounded inside and outside the city wall. The Japanese barracks, warehouses, bus stations, etc. were bombed into a mess.
In fact, these are not the more troublesome things.
Most of the houses in this era were wooden houses, and a considerable number of the more than thirty fighter planes of the Eighth Route Army used incendiary bombs. Once the incendiary bombs exploded, they immediately caused fires everywhere in the city, and they had the potential to spread.
At this time, the Japanese troops stationed in the city were in a dilemma: should they put out the fire or organize a defense?
Put out the fire, it will definitely be difficult to transport troops and ammunition to the city.
If you organize a defense, you can only let the fire destroy ammunition and warehouses, and even burn down cars and tanks.
No matter which one you choose, it seems to be a dead end.
What's worse is that with the fire and the shouts of killing outside the city, the people in the city who had long been unable to bear the persecution immediately broke into revolt... Anyway, everyone on the left and right was dead, so it was better to fight with the devils and win.
There is still a glimmer of hope.
Therefore, the outcome of this battle was decided from the beginning.
But the Japanese's strength is hard to imagine, or it can be said that the stubborn army's combat effectiveness is hard to compliment...
This battle lasted from early morning to nine o'clock in the evening, and the Japanese army was finally driven out of the city. It lasted for fifteen hours.
Moreover, it was the army commander who sent reinforcements over and over again, giving orders over and over again: "Only advance, no retreat!", and finally succeeded in recovering.
However, this battle also surprised Wang Xuexin.
It takes such a long time for the stubborn army to regain Zhengzhou when the overall situation is decided. This is a problem of quality and combat effectiveness. Of course, it is also due to street fighting... Street fighting itself is also a problem, unless it is a reconnaissance company that has been specially trained in street fighting.
But no matter what, this is a minus point.
But under such circumstances, the stubborn army was able to maintain a continuous offensive posture for fifteen hours without collapsing. The morale and fighting spirit of this army should not be underestimated.
Later, Wang Xuexin learned that the reason for this was that many soldiers of the Twelfth Army were recruited from Zhengzhou, which meant that the people massacred by the Japanese in the city were their fellow villagers and even their relatives.
Under the stimulation of this kind of national hatred and family feud, who can't help but burst out with some blood?
The moment Zhengzhou was recaptured, a burst of cheers erupted at Wanxian Airport, and the soldiers hugged each other in celebration.
This is a very rare scene. The stubborn army won the battle and the Eighth Route Army also celebrated, but originally this should be the norm.
Wang Xuexin didn't care much about this. The recovery of Zhengzhou was within his expectation, and it would be strange if it was not recovered.
What he needs to consider more is the future.
So far, it has bought some time for Yuncheng.
But it may not be easy for Wang Xuexin to integrate the first-generation missile during this period of time.
Wang Xuexin thought about it for a while and found that the most difficult problem may not be the technical issue.
Because from a technical perspective, the first-generation missile is actually not difficult...it actually uses rocket engines as thrust, combined with aircraft flight technology.
If there's any difficulty, it's that it's an unmanned aircraft.
The realization of driverless driving relies on the perception of gyroscopes to respond accordingly.
But the difficulty lies in... how much reaction does the gyroscope have to make after sensing the flight status?
For example, if the missile is blown off course by the wind, the gyroscope senses the status and responds by changing its flight attitude and returning to its original route.
What is the amount of change?
What is the angle?
It can't be too big or too small. If it exceeds even one cent, it may be "overcorrected."
And this requires a set of precise data to be compiled through experiments again and again, which is not something that can be achieved in the short term.
