All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 173, the army presses the border

Chapter 170 three, soldiers suppressed the situation
The airport was built after the Japanese army occupied SJZ. In the past month or so, the expansion of the airport has more than doubled.

On a sunny afternoon, the ground staff at the airport are constantly busy.

They were doing final checks on the fifty transport planes that were about to take off, and they had filled twenty bombers with aerial bombs.

To put it bluntly, the Japanese army spent a lot of money in order to deal with the Eight Route Army.

"This is the airborne force pioneered by our Empire of Japan, right? It looks really mighty!"

Maeda Yuki, who came to be in charge of communication, glanced at the elite soldiers preparing to line up, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

In his opinion,

The paratroopers carrying parachutes and submachine guns are almost the same as Kazuki Yamamoto's special forces.

At least in terms of weapons and equipment is good.

Coupled with the combination of airplanes and airborne, it is even more powerful than the special forces assaulting by trucks.

Hmm... this is Yuki Maeda's subjective opinion.

There is a strong personal emotion in it.

Who asked Kazuki Yamamoto to fight and knocked out ten of his bombers!

Enmity is forged, and I will never forget it in this life.

"My airborne wing is directly under the headquarters of the dispatched army, and the soldiers under it are all elites selected from veterans.

Don't compare the second-line garrison with us.

Even the first-class divisions are slightly inferior to ours in terms of weapons and equipment. "

The middle-aged man with a proud tone is the captain of the Airborne Wing, Colonel Ichiro Kitamura.

He does have the capital to be proud of.

The Paratrooper Airborne Wing was a counterfeit product that the Japanese army imitated after seeing the excellent record achieved by the German airborne troops.

In order to make it effective in future battlefields, the Japanese army spent a lot of money.

The paratrooper airborne wing of 2000 people has been cultivated at a price no less than that of the same number of special forces.

First of all, imitate that all the Germans are equipped with submachine guns, so that the paratroopers have powerful firepower.

For ground operations after landing, there is a certain guarantee.

Secondly, it is the key airborne training.

A paratrooper who can't skydive is not a paratrooper.

A transport plane can carry [-] soldiers for parachute training in the transport plane.

Qualified airborne skills cannot be trained once or twice.

The consumption of aviation fuel alone is a lot of money.

A total of 1000 transport planes were used to deliver an airborne brigade of [-] people, plus mortars, infantry guns and other combat materials.

This is sixty planes!

Which army can get such a large-scale aircraft support?

What's more, there are [-] bombers taking off together to carry out high-altitude bombing on the Eighth Route.

Create chaos to cover the parachute operation of the Airborne Forces.

Kitamura Ichiro can shout arrogantly:
"Who else?!"

Compared with the treatment of Kazuki Yamamoto's special team, they are all younger brothers.

Maeda Yuki greatly appreciated the elite of the airborne troops, said some compliments, and held Kitamura Ichiro in his arms.

Although both of them have the same rank of Colonel, the gold content of the same rank is different.

There is absolutely no comparison between a lieutenant general who holds real power and has a lot of room for improvement.

Maeda Yuki lost half of the planes of the flying team he commanded.

Now that he has the rank of chief officer for nothing, he is actually reduced to a liaison officer.

I heard that the current airborne troops are still in the experimental nature, and several experimental battles have been carried out.

Wait for the effect to be fully determined.

Let alone the size of an airborne brigade.

The airborne troops are highly professional, and other laymen cannot lead them.

At that time, they can only be promoted internally... Isn't the result obvious?

Maeda Yuki's solicitation at this time is for the purpose of burning cold water.

He was also very enthusiastic about this operation, and said with concern:
"Balu has no anti-aircraft artillery, and the only decent anti-aircraft firepower is the portable anti-aircraft missile.

But you airborne troops don't need to worry.

Our transport aircraft will fly 3000 meters above the ground.Because that thing can hit a height of up to 3000 meters, no matter how high it is, it is useless. "

Ichiro Kitamura had contempt in his eyes, is he asking for credit?

It is also the credit of the intelligence department.

Without knowing it before, the First Army lost more than a dozen aircraft, and the airspace of the Eighth Route Army became a taboo.

It is shameless to talk about the height of 3000 meters now.

Ichiro Kitamura thought to himself: "Fortunately, the skydiving altitude of 3000 meters is acceptable for the airborne troops.

If the altitude is 6000 meters, then my airborne troops will not participate in the war, they will freeze to death directly at high altitude. "

Generally, 500 meters for skydiving is the minimum safe parachute opening height, and the highest safe height is 5000 meters.

Below 500 meters, there is not much reaction time left, and it is easy to fold the paratroopers into it.

It should not be higher than 5000 meters, because the human body has a limit to withstand atmospheric pressure.The higher the altitude, the thinner the air, the lower the air pressure and the lower the temperature, which cannot be tolerated by human physiology.

The paratrooper manual obtained from Germany stipulates that the best jumping height is between 700 meters and 3000 meters.

Maeda Yuki made fun of him in front of him, consciously put a hot face on his cold ass, and reduced the discussion.

The two walked half a circle at the airport and turned back. The plane was all ready.

Kitamura Ichiro gave an encouraging speech to the [-]st Airborne Group that was about to board the plane.

"You are all the elites of the empire. This battle is very important, and it is about the honor of the empire..."

Honor to the country, glory to the paratroopers...

Stimulating morale with a sense of honor, coupled with the material incentives promised after the war, made the blood of thousands of people boil.

"Long live!"

"Long live!"

The soldiers shouted in unison.

They see the war of aggression as a chance for glory.

See it as an opportunity to realize your own value.

The instigator, Kitamura Ichiro, was also inspired by the excited voice of his subordinates.

He waved his arms vigorously:
"Warriors of the Empire, board the plane and fight for the Empire!"

"You will get the honor you deserve!"

The soldiers of the entire airborne brigade completely forgot the cruelty of war and ignored the difficulty of airborne to the enemy's rear and besieged by the enemy.

Thousands of them, led by grassroots commanders, quickly and orderly dispersed and boarded the transport plane.

Immediately afterwards, the planes drove onto the runway, accelerated and then took off.

When launching an attack with an aircraft carrier, the take-off preparations are exactly the same.

It can be said that this is an aircraft carrier on land launching an attack.

at the same time.

In Jingxing County, all the large troops of the Sixth Division were dispatched.

Infantry No.13 Wing has 800 people, all marching on mobilized trucks.

One truck carries 40 people, and hundreds of trucks are used for the whole transportation.

The mighty team formed a long snake on the road.And the combat power of this greedy snake should not be underestimated, it can definitely swallow the prey along the way.

On the road ahead of the Infantry No.13 Regiment is the Japanese tank teaching brigade.

Nearly a hundred tanks and chariots have already set off first.

On the border of Shanxi, even when the Japanese came over, they didn't use this terrifying posture.

Yan Xishan is not worthy!

It is worth fighting the Eighth Route Army.

After experiencing painful lessons, the Japanese army completely regarded the Eighth Route Army as a strong enemy.

It can be said that this is not the case, it is not enough to deal with the eight roads.

In the field outside Jingxing County, an intelligence team was sent to monitor the Japanese army.

They saw the mighty marching team on the road through the binoculars, and the dust they raised formed an earth dragon, and they were shocked and trembled all over.

"Hurry up, send the report quickly, the Japanese army in Jingxing County has come out and headed north!"

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters in Yangshuwan.

Thanks to the communication speed of the telegram, the Japanese army got the news not long after it was dispatched.

The staff quickly worked on the map based on the information.

The boss turned his hands behind his back and frowned, thinking about where the Japanese soldiers would attack.
Except for those county towns, in the rural bases of the Eighth Route Army, there were no worthy targets.

Mr. Liu, holding a pen in his hand, expressed his opinion:
"I think our countermeasures should have worked. The establishment of such a large arsenal would be surprising if the Japanese could sit still."

Through the traitors who were lured into the water by the Japanese army, they further disclosed the information about the arsenal to the Japanese army.

Including the number of machinery, the number of installation engineers, the number of workers to be recruited and so on.

All this shows that the arsenal does exist.

And it's being built.

The deputy chief of staff quite agreed: "In addition, including our headquarters, when the Japanese army invades, we can quickly retreat to avoid its edge.

The purpose of the Japanese army is obvious, it is definitely an arsenal!After all, it is not easy to carry so many machines away. "

"That's right, there is at least an [-]% probability." The boss thought so too.

Just out of a cautious attitude, he still thought about it for a while and ruled out other possibilities one by one.

The news about the arsenal was revealed by them from passive to proactive.

The headquarters is naturally prepared to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army around the arsenal.

Only the Japanese army was hurt and scared.

From now on, there will be no troubles coming to the arsenal if there is nothing to do.

For workers to produce weapons, they need a stable environment.

The combat staff officer finished the homework on the map, stood up and solemnly reported:

"Reporting to the chief, according to the speed at which the vanguard of the Japanese army is advancing by truck, they will reach the periphery of the arsenal by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Speed ​​is the most important thing in battle, and speed is very important in most battles.

When they heard that the Japanese army would arrive tomorrow morning, the three chiefs couldn't help but frowned.

The Japanese army reacted too quickly after receiving the information, and the speed of this rush was also unexpected, several times faster than the previous infantry advance.

The other combat troops mobilized by the headquarters are still on the way and have not arrived at the scheduled location.

At this time, if the Japanese army rushed to the destination quickly, then this battle would be difficult to fight.

The boss said slowly: "We must send someone to stop the enemy and delay the time until the day after tomorrow."

Master Liu immediately gave a plan: "Immediately send the guerrilla county brigade along the highway to blow up the bridges along the way.

Mines placed on the road.

It is necessary to send a main regiment to occupy a dangerous position to fight a blocking battle, delaying the time and defeating the spirit of the Japanese army. "

Blowing up bridges and laying mines along the way can cause a lot of trouble to the Japanese army on the way.

It also gave the Eighth Route Army time to mobilize troops.

It is also necessary insurance to send the main force to fight a blocking war.

Control the time when the Japanese army finally arrived on the battlefield in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.Take the initiative in war to a certain extent.

The deputy chief of staff frowned and said very pessimistically: "

The Sixth Division of the Japanese Army is a Type A division, an infantry unit transported by hundreds of trucks, and its combat effectiveness must not be underestimated.

We have to send out tried and tested troops. "

The full infantry regiment of Type A division has 800 people, which can easily defeat the two divisions of the Central Army.

The Eighth Route Army infantry regiment before the change of clothes is a dish in front of such an enemy.

That is to say, now that they have new weapons and their backs are hardened, they dare to touch them.

The boss was thinking about a suitable partner in his mind, and suddenly asked, "Has the [-]nd Regiment arrived yet?"

"They are still close, they should have arrived." Mr. Liu replied.

"Immediately let the 27nd Regiment prepare for the blocking mission. As for their original positions, let the [-]th Regiment of the Desperate Column be on top."

The boss gave the order solemnly.

Someone copied it down and sent it to the telegraph office.

The deputy chief of staff suggested reporting the situation to Yan'an, but it didn't mean that Yan'an's opinion could be consulted before fighting, but such a large-scale battle still needs to be said.

The boss agreed, and he went to the telegraph room to write a telegram to Yan'an.

The command room returned to the previous state, and everyone was busy with their best.

The boss who made the decision and gave the order stood by the map, staring at the arrows on the map, and deduced the calculation in his mind.

He always looks like this in every war.

When asking others to make suggestions, he just checks for omissions and fills in vacancies. Before that, he thought everything up by himself.

Treat the arsenal as a bait, and arrange the troops into a pocket formation.

Wait for the enemy to attack the arsenal to dampen their vigor, then go up to divide and encircle them, and annihilate them in the wild.

Such a plan sounds simple.

In fact, it is necessary to mobilize tens of thousands of troops in specific operations.

There will be all kinds of things, accidents, and it's not easy to coordinate.

To achieve the ultimate goal without distorting the entire plan requires superb command art.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the deputy chief of staff hurried in.

"The latest information shows that a large number of Japanese aircraft are found in the southeast direction, flying towards me."

"How many planes are there?" The boss who recovered from his thoughts frowned. He had to ask for the exact number.

The deputy chief of staff had a bitter face: "About sixty to one hundred, the intelligence personnel there discovered the situation suddenly, and did not count the specific number.

I have already notified other intelligence teams, and any findings will be reported immediately. "

From sixty to one hundred planes, the boss took a deep breath.

This scale is unprecedented, and it is enough to see that the Japanese army is bound to win.

There are two key points.

Information on portable anti-aircraft missiles has been leaked, and Japanese aircraft will take targeted measures. As long as the bombing is not less than 3000 meters, the enemy will be helpless.

The location of the headquarters is estimated to have been exposed by the traitors, and it is very likely to become the target of the bombing.

Facing Master Liu's gaze, the boss said in a deep voice, "The headquarters must be moved immediately to prevent it from being bombed by the Japanese army."

Master Liu echoed his agreement, and dozens of planes were enough for carpet bombing.

Accuracy is not necessary, the bomb density is strong enough, you can only wait to die in Yangshuwan.
