Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 394

On the seventeenth day.

Located in Gujiao Township, Lingchuan County, Tainan, the headquarters of the New Fifth Army.

After Jiang's order was issued, the Political Training Office of the New Fifth Army, as Jiang An's representative in Sun Dianying's department, directly showed Sun Dianying the telegrams from the attendant's room and the first theater.

Sun Dianying's relationship with the Japanese army has always been ambiguous. Near his headquarters of the New Fifth Army, he opened three guest houses to entertain the generals of the national army, the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese respectively.

Therefore, the top and bottom officers of the New Fifth Army are also inextricably linked with the Japanese army, which is why the attendant room did not directly issue combat orders to the New Fifth Army headquarters.

In the conference room of the military headquarters, the atmosphere was somewhat frozen.

Under the New Fifth Army, there are temporarily organized third divisions and fourth divisions, six regular regiments, three independent regiments, and one special mission regiment.

At this time, Wang Tianxiang, the head of the 11th regiment, was absent from the military meeting, and Sun Dianying, who was sitting at the top, looked livid.

"Military seat, those people in the political training office are really too much. On the way to the meeting, they trapped Wang Tianxiang without any explanation. This is too disrespectful to us!" Teacher Wang Tingying.

The military officers present here are well aware of why Wang Tianxiang was arrested, but in the enemy's rear, the authority of the national government is far inferior to that in the rear.

Everyone doesn't open this hole in the political training department, maybe one day the board will hit themselves.

I saw Sun Dianying smiled, the expression on his face was a little relieved, and then he said: "Who told you that Wang Tianxiang was arrested, but the people from the Political Training Office want to have an admonishing talk with him, and they will come out in two days, don't you No fuss, this matter has nothing to do with you!"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned. Wang Tianxiang had the closest relationship with the Japanese, and he was Sun Dianying's mouthpiece for the Japanese. Wang Tianxiang was passive, but Sun Dianying was actually indifferent.

The people present were astonished by the change of Sun Dianying's attitude, but they didn't know that Sun Dianying had completed the exchange of interests with Jiang, shook his head, and became a firm anti-Japanese faction.

Sun Dianying's next words caused another storm in the world.

"A few days ago, someone from Jiang's attendant room issued a combat order. Our New Fifth Army will launch a counterattack against Lingchuan. The combat tasks of each regiment will be issued by the chief of staff. After the meeting, each regiment will immediately distribute ammunition. Be sure to arrive at the designated location early this morning!" Sun Dianying said in a deep voice.

"What? Hit the Japanese?"

"Counterattack again?"

"Army seat, didn't prepare in advance, is it too hasty?" said a regiment leader present.

"What is needed in this battle is speed, and the Japanese should not have a chance to react. After you go back, some personnel must be controlled, and then the troops will be taken out in the name of training, and the accompanying staff must be kept secret!" Chief of Staff Feng Yangtian instructed.

Seeing Sun Dianying nodded, everyone responded one after another.

The combat effectiveness of the various regiments under the New Fifth Army is uneven, but a warlord like Sun Dianying has a strong control over his subordinates, and all the regiment leaders are his confidantes.

With Sun Dianying's approval, the New Five Armies quickly reached an agreement.

At the same time, Pang Bingxun's [-]th Army in Gaoping moved faster than the New Fifth Army.

General Pang Bingxun is a famous anti-Japanese general, and most of his troops are brave divisions. At this time, the Forty Army has already marched towards Gaoping and Huguan in batches.

And in Lin County.

National Zhengwei naturally did not forget the only seedling of the Central Army in Tainan. Yang Han's 281 regiment received a combat order to wipe out the Japanese and puppet troops in Lin County.

The 281st Regiment was formed from the remnants of Zhu Huaibing's Ninety-seventh Army. The regiment had more than [-] people and was a direct descendant of the Central Army. Later, it annexed several anti-Japanese armed forces in Linnan, and its military power became stronger.

The 281th Army and the New [-]th Army belonged to the Hebei-Chahar Theater, while the [-]st Regiment belonged to the First Theater, but the armed forces of the three national armies were all under the leadership of Chief Wei.

The words are divided into two parts.

The 22nd Regiment, 28th Regiment, and Xinyi Regiment, which were arranged on the Hanchang Highway according to the combat plan, arrived at the designated positions one after another. Each regiment occupied the commanding heights on both sides of the road and hurriedly built fortifications.

The independent detachment led by Zhou Weihan is still on standby in Ludongnan, and can only march towards the surrounding area of ​​Changzhi in a hurry after dark.

"Report to the detachment leader, the 86 members of the reconnaissance company have assembled!" Dong Jianghui reported.

Before the battle, Zhou Weihan assigned a special mission to the reconnaissance company. Except for protecting the soldiers of the leaders, all the reconnaissance company assembled.

"Dong Jiang, whether our Eighth Route Army can successfully capture Changzhi City depends entirely on your reconnaissance company!" Zhou Weihan instructed patiently.

"Detachment Captain, don't worry, our reconnaissance company promises to complete the mission!"

After Zhou Weihan heard this, he looked at He Wensheng, the chief of the enemy engineering department, and saw He Wensheng say: "Detachment leader, I have made it clear to Takema Yamada that the puppet army at Changzhi Airport also has our own strength to develop, and we will definitely not Something went wrong!"

Zhou Weihan nodded, and finally looked at Takema Yamada, who joined the Anti-War Alliance in the Eighth Route Army.

"Yamada-kun, please be safe on this trip!"

"I understand, I guarantee with the honor of a party member that this trip will definitely complete the task!" At this time, wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, Takema Yamada solemnly paid a military salute.

If the Eighth Route Army wanted to take Changzhi, the first target to attack was Guancun Airport on the outskirts of Changzhi. Otherwise, once Zhou Weihan led his troops to launch an offensive against Changzhi City, planes from Guancun Airport would be able to bomb the troops at any time.

Therefore, Zhou Weihan had already made a plan, and the reconnaissance company sneaked into Guancun Airport in advance.

On the Hanchang Highway, a small group of Japanese troops suddenly appeared on the road in Lucheng,

On the Hanchang Highway, which had just experienced the war, it was extremely weird that such a Japanese army with less than a hundred soldiers dared to appear on the highway in a few trucks in a blatant manner.

These Japanese troops marched all the way to Changzhi, and when they reached the stronghold on the outskirts of Lucheng, the puppet troops in the stronghold stopped them.

I saw Dong Jiang, dressed in the military uniform of a second lieutenant of the Japanese Gendarmerie, jumping off the first truck.

Several puppet soldiers at the checkpoint saw the Japanese officers in the car approaching the checkpoint angrily, they couldn't help trembling in their hearts, and they all took a few steps back.

"Taijun!" The leading puppet army was about to say something.

"Baga!" Dong Jiang went up and slapped the leader of the puppet army with two slaps, his legs went limp, and he slumped on the ground.

"You dare to intercept the military vehicle of the Imperial Japanese Army, you are dead!" Dong Jiang directly pulled out his saber and put it on the neck of the puppet army leader.

At this moment, a Japanese commander Cao in the stronghold came out in a hurry, and when he saw Dong Jiang ignored the leader of the puppet army sitting on the ground, he respectfully saluted him.

The reason is very simple. Dong Jiang's gendarmerie uniform is so scary that the Japanese commander Cao dare not suspect that someone is pretending to be a gendarmerie of the Imperial Japanese Army.

"Sir, please make amends. The Eighth Route Army in the surrounding area has had rampant interactions recently. Captain Oda's garrison has ordered that all passing vehicles be strictly inspected. Please forgive me!" The Japanese commander Cao lowered his once proud head again.

"Then, soldier, let's check!" Dong Jiang pointed to the truck behind.

"No problem, quickly open the checkpoint, sir, please pass!" The Japanese commander Cao didn't even intend to check, and let the puppet army let it go.

In general county gendarmerie, most of the leaders are Chief Cao. Sergeants and ordinary gendarmerie soldiers are not qualified to wear gendarmerie uniforms. They will only wear a protective band on their arms to show the difference from the general Japanese army.

This kind of military police is a temporary expansion of non-staff personnel, without a formal establishment, the official establishment of the military police will be on the roster of the Gendarmerie Command, starting with the rank of second lieutenant.

And Dong Jiang's attire, coupled with the rank of lieutenant on his epaulets, really made the little devil in front of him terrified.

"Baga, you, you actually neglected your duty. Don't you forget what your duty is?" Dong Jiang slapped the Japanese commander Cao in front of him involuntarily, and then took out his gendarmerie certificate from his pocket.

After being beaten, Chief Cao of the Japanese army was even more respectful. He took a peek at the ID and quickly handed it back. Then he pretended to patrol the truck team and saw that the co-pilot of the second truck was actually sitting there. A major officer, another military salute.

"Sir, there is no problem, I have wasted your time, please pass!"

"Yo Xi!" Dong Jiang nodded in satisfaction.

After the truck team left, the Japanese commander Cao couldn't help touching his swollen face, and hurriedly reported the group of colleagues from Handan to the Lucheng garrison.

"Hey, they're fucking Japanese, they usually yell at our brothers, why are you so cowardly!"

"You don't understand, the prince just now is the real military police. We saw all the fakes in the past, who specialize in dealing with these Japanese, why don't you be afraid?" The leader of the puppet army said quite proudly, It seems that it is honorable to be slapped twice.

The truck drove along the road for another twenty minutes, and as far as the eye could see, the outline of Lucheng County could already be seen.

The task was urgent, Dong Jiang didn't intend to enter the city, but planned to go around directly from outside the city.

Unexpectedly, at the fork outside the city, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were scattered around, and a Japanese officer was sitting on the side three rounds.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance company driving the car immediately became alert, put the gear on their right hand, and prepared to rush over.

"Hey, it's okay, stay normal!" Dong Jiang waved his hand to stop the driver's behavior.

Dong Jiang got out of the car for another exchange, this time the atmosphere of the exchange was much more amiable, this guy Dong Jiang was also watching people order dishes, after all, the little devil in front of him was a major and was on his territory.

"Yajima-kun, I didn't expect you to come from Handan, did you encounter any attacks from the Eighth Route Army along the way?" Lucheng garrison captain Oda Jiro said suspiciously.

"In order to ensure that the fighter jets of the Imperial Japanese Army continue to soar in the sky, the head of the Terauchi brigade mobilized some elites from the gendarmerie and infantry to form a mobile small unit, which is responsible for transporting aviation gasoline to the airport!"

"With all due respect, Mr. Xiaotian, you are making too much of a fuss. In the defense zone of our 104th Brigade along the way, the soldiers maintained a normal order, but in Lucheng, what I saw was strict defense. Are you being forced by the soil? Balu is scared out of his wits!" Dong Jiang said arrogantly.

Oda Jiro's face sank after hearing this, but he was helpless. Who made the 104st Division just experience a disastrous defeat, and the [-]th Brigade had an outstanding record, and then turned around and left.

After Dong Jiang got into the car, he asked the driver to deliberately slow down the speed. In this way, after four o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy finally arrived at the outskirts of Changzhi.

Dong Jiang was sitting in the car, and through the car window, he could see a circle of barbed wire surrounding the Japanese military airport, surrounded by several blockhouses and gun towers built with strips of stone, and several watchtowers standing inside the barbed wire. The inside is surrounded by a tall fence, which is full of shooting holes, and it is impossible to see clearly what is inside the airport from the outside.

When Dong Jiang saw the deployment of the Japanese military airport, he couldn't help but gasped: "This is just a one-sided arrangement. No wonder the four regiments attacked Changzhi Airport last time and sacrificed so many soldiers!"

After a while, the defenders of the blockhouse outside the airport trotted over. When they learned that they were transporting aviation gasoline to the airport, they immediately reported to their superiors through the phone in the blockhouse.

Afterwards, the captain of the Changzhi Airport Security Team came out to greet Dong Jiang in person. When he saw Dong Jiang, his face was filled with a smile, and he let his subordinates let him go.

Dong Jiang jumped out of the car, walked into the airport together with the captain of the defense team, and carefully observed the surrounding layout.

Dong Jiang and his party came under the pretext of transporting aviation gasoline to Changzhi Airport from Handan. Terauchiyong knew that there was a squadron in Changzhi Airport, but arranged firepower inside and outside the airport, so Zhou Weihan asked Dong Jiang to sneak into the airport in advance.

"Yajima-kun, thank you for taking the risk to bring aviation gasoline. You came too timely. The gasoline in reserve can't support the combat needs for a few days. Those guys in the sky are urging me on this every day!" Captain Takeshi Ikawa complained.

"Baga, these guys are so arrogant, without our army, they are nothing!" Dong Jiang cursed pretendingly angrily.

As soon as these words came out, Takeshi Igawa immediately resonated, and the two began to complain.

As we all know, the Japanese army has an army and a navy, but they don't have an air force. They only have army aviation and naval aviation.

The two elder brothers disliked each other, but suppressed the younger brother to death.

The Japanese army aviation fighters are basically organized into squads, with 2 aircraft organized into detachments, 4 aircraft organized into a squadron, three squadrons organized into a squadron (12 aircraft), and three squadrons organized into a team.

The number of establishments of other flight divisions is different. The Japanese army's light explosives, heavy explosives, reconnaissance, and transport aircraft are organized into a squadron, three squadrons are organized into a squadron, and two to three squadrons are organized into a team. The number of heavy explosive, reconnaissance, and transport flight teams varies between 3 and 9 aircraft.

The flying team is the basic organizational unit of the Imperial Japanese Army Aviation. The commander's rank is generally major, sometimes middle or large. Two or more teams are organized into a flying regiment. The commander's rank is generally between the middle commander and the major general. Two or more flight regiments are organized into flight groups or combat flight groups, and a commander with the rank of lieutenant general is set up.

The commander of the flying squadron at Changzhi Airport has the rank of major, which is at the same level as the captain of the guard, but the treatment between the two is very different.
