The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 1039
Doi Yuan is a spy chief, and the new Minister of the Army is the real commander of the Japanese army.He started as a junior officer and climbed up step by step. He has rich combat experience. When it comes to commanding operations, he is much better than Tu Feiyuan.

He carefully analyzed the situation of the previous Tai'an campaigns, and found that every time the Japanese army launched the Tai'an campaign, the troops of the Lunan Military Region would retreat to the southwest of Shandong, thus preserving their strength.After they recuperate and recover their strength, they will make a comeback with the cooperation of the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas.

He thinks that Gao Jiu is not the real threat to Tai'an, because after all, Gao Jiu's troops are limited. Without the cooperation of the troops from the Southern Shandong Military Region, it is impossible to control Tai'an City with only the Peach Blossom Mountain guerrillas.

Therefore, the Minister of the Army believes that if the Japanese army wants to launch a new Tai'an campaign, it must cut off the way for the troops of the Lunan Military Region to retreat to the southwest of Shandong.What he has to do is to first encircle and annihilate the main force of the Lunan Military Region troops.

Gao Jiu's Taohuashan guerrillas could only harass the Jinpu Railway at best, and could not completely cut it off.

The Minister of the Army discussed his thoughts with the senior generals of the Central China Front Army and the North China Front Army, and everyone agreed with him.He believes that the next Tai'an campaign is not just to capture Tai'an City, but to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Lunan Military Region as the primary combat goal.

After discussion, it was decided that the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army would join forces to attack Tai'an City.They believe that the Taohuashan guerrillas and the troops of the Southern Shandong Military Region will focus on the Japanese army in the direction of Shandong. Therefore, after the start of this battle, the Japanese army in the direction of Shandong will still attack Tai'an City from the front, and the troops of the Central China Front will attack Tai'an City from the direction of Xuzhou. To pinch.

At the same time, the Central China Front Army secretly mobilized heavy troops, interspersed between Tai'an City and Southwest Shandong, and cut off the retreat of the troops of the Southern Shandong Military Region.

The commander of the Central China Front Army has made up his mind to launch the Tai'an Campaign together with the North China Front Army.He knew that once the battle started, Gao Jiu would definitely help the troops of the Lunan Military Region.Therefore, for him, the actual main opponent in this Tai'an battle is Gao Jiu.He focused on dealing with Gao Jiu.

He believes that the number of Gao Jiu's guerrillas is limited after all, and the biggest threat is the air force of the Taohuashan guerrillas.He discussed with the Minister of the Army that he would secretly replace the commanders of the Sixth and Seventh Air Forces under the Central China Front Army, cut off the connection between them, and then secretly send fighters and bombers from the Seventh Air Force to fly to the Sixth Air Force. The airfields of the army, mainly Xiangyang Airport, are used to deal with the air force of the guerrillas.

The Secretary of the Army accepted his suggestion, and immediately flew back to the island country to discuss with the upper echelons of the base camp.

The base camp knew the seriousness of the matter. In order to avoid being hindered when they adjusted the commanders of the Sixth Air Force and the Seventh Air Force, they simply replaced the Minister of the Air Force and others.Then all the commanders of the air forces in the country were replaced.

The first mission of the commander was to deal with the air force of the Taohuashan guerrillas. The air force of the Central China Front Army was responsible for dealing with the air forces of the Taohuashan guerrillas at various airports in Henan and Shandong.The Eighth and Ninth Air Forces of the Air Force of the South China Front were responsible for cutting off the Taohuashan guerrillas' air passage from the Golden Triangle to Nanyang, and cutting off the Taohuashan guerrillas' supplies of weapons, ammunition and other supplies from the Golden Triangle.

In order to confuse Gao Jiu, the Central China Front Army also specially sent people to Nanyang City with the profits they obtained from the Jiangxi mines that they jointly operated with Gao Jiu, and sent a letter to Gao Jiu, saying that they would continue to maintain close relations with Gao Jiu The relationship between the two parties does not violate each other.

Since the Central China Front Army has maintained a tacit relationship with Gao Jiu for a long time, Gao Jiu has not noticed this series of big moves yet.He devoted his main attention to dealing with the Japanese army in Shandong.

The North China Front Army was not idle either. They also knew that if they wanted to reoccupy Tai'an City and open up the Jinpu Railway, they had to deal with the powerful air force of the Taohuashan guerrillas.Therefore, the North China Front Army must have a strong air force again.

Originally, the North China Front Army had the First, Second, and Third Air Forces. The Second Air Force stationed in Henan and the Third Air Force stationed in Shandong were all disabled by Gao Jiu and never recovered.The main one in North China is the First Air Force headquartered in Beiping.

This time the Japanese army went down the snow and restored the Second Air Force and the Third Air Force.In order to confuse Gao Jiu, they did not publicly reveal the designations of the two air teams, but only let them participate in operations under the name of the First Air Force.

In order to be able to directly attack the airports of the Taohuashan guerrillas in Henan and Shandong, the Japanese Second Air Force and Third Air Force secretly built airstrips in the mountains near Jinan City and LY respectively.

In order to confuse the troops of Gao Jiu and the Lunan Military Region, the Japanese army held back their temper this time. Before the air force was deployed, the ground troops of the North China Front Army and the Central China Front Army did not mobilize, but quietly called a meeting of senior generals to let They secretly carried out pre-war preparations for the Battle of Tai'an in their respective resident.

These days, Gao Jiu spends most of his time by Ai Jiabao's side. In order to relieve her boredom, Gao Jiu either tells her jokes or reads to her.

Ai Jiabao saw her heroic husband so tender and tender, and she was completely surrounded by happiness.

She believes in God, and when she prays to God every day, she first asks God to grant her husband peace.She cherishes every minute and every second by her husband's side, and only hopes that the days can be so peaceful and warm.

Jia Liu is a very competent secretary. He collects a lot of information every day and helps Gao Jiu handle a lot of complicated official affairs.As long as he could handle it, he would not bother Master Jiu under normal circumstances.

Jia Liu saw that Lord Jiu cherished Ai Jiabao so much. He thought that Master Jiu was not only an indomitable and all-powerful hero, but also that he attached great importance to family and love.

Comparing with Master Jiu's performance, Jia Liu is also examining himself, whether he has neglected the feelings of his wife and children in his life.

Jia Liu handled all the telegrams of the Taohuashan guerrillas. Now he found that the backbone of the Taohuashan guerrillas hardly had the habit of reporting safety to their families. They were already used to this kind of fighting life.

Jia Liu believes that without violating the principle of communication, the backbone of the guerrillas should be arranged to report the safety of the family every once in a while, so that relatives who stay in the Golden Triangle can feel at ease.

After Jia Liu had this idea, he couldn't bear to disturb Master Jiu, so he went to Zhang Quan and Wang Zhankui first, reported his thoughts to them, and asked for their opinions.

Zhang Quan directly objected after listening, and Wang Zhankui also disagreed.They all believed that if they did so, it would increase the psychological burden on the soldiers on the front line.Guerrillas are on the front line, so they shouldn't be mothers-in-law, and don't have so many messy thoughts.

Not only that, but if the time for reporting peace to the hometown is fixed, in case of tense wars, the relatives in the Golden Triangle will not receive the telegrams from the front line to report the safety of the hometown, and they will be even more anxious. It will lead to panic and serious problems will arise.Even if they can report safety on time, those relatives will worry about it in advance when this day arrives, which will have a great impact on their lives.

Hearing what the two heads of the family said, Jia Liu thought about it carefully and thought what they said made sense.

Jia Liu said with emotion: "This damn war, let's end it quickly. If there is no war, the family will live together, and there will be no need to live such a life of fear."

Under the operation of the new Minister of the Army, great changes have taken place within the Japanese army, and the commander of the air force has been quietly replaced.Gao Jiu has not yet grasped the relevant information, and the work arrangement of the guerrillas is still deployed according to the previous enemy situation.

This morning, six transport planes took off from the Golden Triangle, loaded with a large amount of weapons and ammunition.After refueling in Kunming, they flew to Nanyang Airport.

When these transport planes passed through Yichang, they received a report from the Guojun Air Force, saying that they had spotted the Japanese fleet flying towards them, and they were likely to be intercepted.

The pilots of the transport planes have been flying from the Golden Triangle to Henan and Shandong, and have not been intercepted by Japanese fighter jets. Therefore, after they received the news, they also thought that the Japanese army would not dare to provoke the air force of the Taohuashan guerrillas, so they did not care too much. , still maintain the original course to fly to Nanyang Airport.

Just after they flew over Yichang, a dozen Japanese Zero fighters suddenly appeared in the sky, and they directly attacked the transport aircraft group of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

The guerrillas were too careless. This time they did not send fighter jets to escort them. How could transport planes be the opponents of fighter jets?Not long after, all six transport planes were shot down by the Japanese army, and all 30 crew members were killed.

On the morning of the same day, Gao Jiu decided to send Ai Jiabao back to the Golden Triangle.Although Ai Jiabao was reluctant to let go, she agreed to Gao Jiu's request in order not to distract her husband and command the battle at the front with peace of mind.

Gao Jiu personally sent Ai Jiabao to the plane, and watched her transport plane disappear into the distance.He was about to return to Zhengzhou City, and the commander at the airport reported to Jia Liu with a wireless announcement machine. After receiving the report, Jia Liu was shocked and hurriedly reported to Gao Jiu.

When Gao Jiu heard that six transport planes taking off from the Golden Triangle were shot down by the Japanese army, he knew that the tacit understanding between the Taohuashan guerrillas and the Japanese air force had been broken, and the two sides would be at war in the future, and any flight would be in great danger.

He hurriedly called the transport plane and ordered them to return immediately.

Fortunately, Ai Jiabao's transport plane hadn't flown far yet, and he returned immediately after receiving the order.Seeing Ai Jiabao who got off the plane, Gao Jiu's heart was relieved.

Ai Jiabao heard that the air force of the Peach Blossom Mountain Guerrilla had started a war with the Japanese air force, and it was impossible for her to return to the Golden Triangle in the short term. Instead of worrying, she was happy. Her reward for being by her husband's side.

Ai Jiabao can think so as a woman, but Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui, Zhang Quan and other Taohuashan guerrilla generals feel that the situation is serious, because it means that the Golden Triangle and the Taohuashan guerrillas in Henan and Shandong will be killed in the air. Contact has been interrupted, and future operations will encounter great difficulties.

Not only that, but now all the main generals of the Taohuashan guerrillas have left the Golden Triangle, and there is only Geng Hua who can take the lead there. If the Japanese army concentrates and attacks the Golden Triangle with heavy troops, I am afraid that he will not be able to defend the safety of the Golden Triangle.

After urgent consultations, Gao Jiu and others decided to send Guo Hengming and Wang Guimin to take the risk of flying back to the Golden Triangle to be responsible for the security of the Golden Triangle.

Now that the original route has been cut off by the Japanese army, Gao Jiu and others discussed with the air force commanders and decided to open a new route, flying directly from Henan to the airport of the underground party in northern Shaanxi to land, and then flying from northern Shaanxi to Kunming.

Jia Liu immediately sent a telegram to the person in charge of the underground party, asking him to contact the northern Shaanxi side.

Soon the head of the underground party sent a telegram, saying that the underground party had already made preparations in northern Shaanxi, and the air force of the Taohuashan guerrillas could land there in the future, and they were responsible for providing fuel.

In order to ensure the safety of Guo Hengming and Wang Guimin, Gao Jiu dispatched 12 fighter jets to escort their transport plane. The escort fleet of Heng Ming and others provided relevant information about the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu and the others have now realized that the enemy's situation has undergone major changes. He immediately notified the underground party and asked them to collect relevant information.

At the same time, Zhou Mingshan also got in touch with Xu Zhongming and others, asking them to investigate the latest military deployment of the Japanese army.

At this time, Gao Jiu was very disturbed, because he guessed that something might have happened to Yoshihiro Hamada, otherwise, as the chief of staff of the North China Front Army, he held a high position, so it was impossible for him not to know about the changes in the Japanese Air Force.Hamada Yoshito didn't inform him in advance, which made Gao Jiu worry about his safety.Therefore, Gao Jiu did not send a telegram to Yoshihiro Hamada to reduce his chances of exposure.

Three days later, Yoshito Hamada finally sent a telegram, not from himself, but from someone entrusted by his adjutant.

The telegram stated that Hamada Yoshihito has not revealed his identity so far, but including Commander Komura, the main senior generals of the North China Front Army have been secretly monitored from the base camp, and even his close aides are also secretly monitored. Tian Yizhi managed to find an opportunity to ask the adjutant to send this news to Gao Jiu.

The telegram stated that the Japanese army had replaced the Minister of the Army, and the Minister of the Army secretly flew to Peiping to deploy a new Tai'an campaign.The Minister of the Army later went to the headquarters of the Central China Front Army and the South China Front Army, asking them to fully cooperate with the North China Front Army and launch a new Tai'an campaign.
