Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 398

During World War II, the Zero fighter of the Japanese Naval Air Force was a big hit, and it became the most famous Japanese fighter in World War II!Many people even can't help but collectively refer to all the fighters of the Japanese army in World War II as "Zero War".

However, the Type Zero is actually only an aircraft of the Japanese Navy, and the Japanese Army Aviation will not be equipped with Type Zero fighters. After all, the relationship between the two red deer has not been good for a long time, so the Japanese Army Aviation is naturally equipped with fighters developed by itself.

Before and after the Japanese army launched the war, the mainstream fighters equipped by the Japanese army aviation included: the Type [-] high-plane monoplane, the Type [-] biplane and the Type [-] low-plane monoplane.

Among them, after the successful test flight in 1936, the Type [-] fighter was relatively advanced in the Japanese army aviation fighter series at that time, and it has been serving as the air support mission of the Japanese ground combat troops.

After listening to Yamada Takema's introduction, Wang Yigong looked at the ten planes in front of him, and the joy on his face was beyond words.

He couldn't speak easily: "Old Gao, Lao Gao, hurry up and get someone to set up a radio station, and report to the detachment leader that Changzhi Airport has been captured, and all ten planes in the airport have been seized!"

"Haha, damn it, I used to be bombed by the little devil's planes, but this time our Eighth Route Army has our own planes!" Wang Yigong said with a smile, and then looked at Yamada Takema: "Comrade Yamada, you pilots, please work hard." , it won’t be long before the commander will issue an order, and then you will have to play!”

"Yes!" At this time, Takema Yamada had already changed into the leather jacket of a Japanese pilot.

The pilots of this period were relatively short in stature, and the Japanese pilots were even worse. It was all to reduce the weight of the aircraft and carry more ammunition.

There are ten people in the flight team, and Takema Yamada's clothes fit the body well. The four pilots trained by our side are wearing tight clothes. Only the five pilots who defected from the Northeast Army are taller than the little devils and wear small clothes. The devil pilot's leather jacket, like wearing a child's clothes, was put on with great difficulty, but the waist and ankles were leaking out.

Wang Yigong arranged the pilots, and said to several battalion and company commanders of the Fourth Regiment: "Clean up the inside and outside of the airport immediately, repair the position, build fortifications, and use the captured Japanese and puppet troops!"

"The first battalion and a heavy machine gun company are arranged on the south side, the second battalion, the third battalion and another heavy machine gun company are arranged on the other three sides, the artillery has set up positions in advance in the airport, and the little devil reinforcements may not come from anywhere! "

Wang Yigong did not elaborate on how to arrange the fortifications of the airport. The battalion and company commanders are all cadres with rich combat experience, and they have their own methods in mind.

Before the start of the battle, Zhou Weihan judged that if the Japanese army reinforces them, they will be divided into four groups according to the report of the enemy engineering department on the deployment of Japanese troops around Changzhi.

Changzhi Airport is located in the northeast of Changzhi, with Changzhi City in the southwest, Pingshun in the east, and adjacent villages and towns in the north.

Therefore, the Japanese troops stationed in Changzhi City, the Japanese troops in Pingshun and the Japanese troops in Guancun Town will all come to reinforce them.

Among them, the Japanese army in Guancun Town, which came the fastest, has been wiped out by the cavalry regiment, and the first cavalry company is driving the prisoners towards Changzhi Airport.

The Japanese army in Pingshun was supported by three guard companies led by Zhou Weiguo himself, while the Japanese army in Changzhi had Zhou Weihan leading the first and second regiments as the main force.

The Japanese army in several surrounding strongholds was dealt with by the fourth regiment itself.

Inside Changzhi City.

Ikeda Jiro, the commander of the 238th Regiment of the [-]st Division of the Japanese Army, was reporting to the adjutant.

"Your Majesty, ten minutes ago, Kamezaburo Kawamura led two infantry squadrons, a heavy machine gun squadron, an infantry artillery squadron, and a regiment of the Royal Association Army to reinforce Changzhi Airport. Pingshun also sent reinforcements to Changzhi The fortifications of the airport must be able to block the enemy's attack!" The adjutant Hui reported.

The Japanese army in Changzhi City responded very quickly. After receiving the report from the Japanese army in Guancun Town, Jiro Ikeda immediately ordered the reinforcements to set off, but at this time Jiro Ikeda did not have the slightest joy on his face.

Ikeda Jiro looked at the young adjutant in front of him, shook his head, and just said: "I hope the reinforcements don't meet the Eighth Route Army on the way, otherwise I'm worried."

During the three years of war between the Japanese Army and the Eighth Route Army in North China, they have clearly grasped the Eighth Route Army's best tactics of encircling and attacking reinforcements.

However, the tactic of besieging and attacking aid is high because it is a conspiracy, attacking you will save you.

Surrounding the point to fight for reinforcements, sometimes the focus of the attack is on the point, and sometimes the focus of the attack is on its reinforcements.

However, the strength of the independent detachment is too strong, there are nearly [-] people in just three infantry regiments, and Zhou Weihan wants both.

"Your Excellency, since that's the case, why don't you send more reinforcements?"

After hearing this, Jiro Ikeda looked at the young adjutant in front of him, and thoughtfully said: "The Eighth Route Army that fought with the division commander before disappeared near Lucheng, and no trace of them has been detected so far. The Guancun stronghold reported the attack on Changzhi Airport. The armed forces have artillery, so it is likely to be an independent detachment of the Eighth Route Army!

"Changzhi Airport has lost contact with the city so far. I'm afraid it's very rare. It's just that the airport is too important. Even if there is a glimmer of hope, we must rescue it!"

"Hi!" The adjutant bowed his head in response.

Then he thought of the main force of the division headquarters that had been wiped out in Lucheng, and couldn't help but shudder.

"Miyajima-kun, immediately order the defenders at the west and south strongholds of Changzhi City to shrink their forces and quickly approach Changzhi City. When retreating, the defenders from all directions gather in one place before retreating. At the same time, pay attention to the movements of the Eighth Route Army!"

"In addition, order the defenders in Gaoping, Huguan, Linxian, Lingchuan and other places in the south of Changzhi to urgently deploy some troops to garrison Changzhi City!"

Jiro Ikeda thought for a while and felt that with the appetite of the independent detachment of the Eighth Route Army, Changzhi Airport might not be able to satisfy his appetite.

At the same time, the situation in the southern area of ​​Changzhi did not develop as planned.

The first is Sun Dianying's New Fifth Army. The troops were concealed outside several strongholds in the Lingchuan area, but they did not launch an attack.

In the headquarters of the New Fifth Army, Deputy Commander Xing Tang glanced at the time, it was already [-]:[-], and he couldn't help feeling extremely anxious.

"Military seat, Chief Wei's attack time is set at five o'clock in the battle plan, and it has already passed twenty-five minutes. Do you want all the regiments to launch an offensive against Lingchuan?" Xing Tang said in a calm tone as much as possible.

Sun Dianying smiled, and then looked at the director of the political training department who was supervising the battle: "Director Wang, can our department launch an attack?"

Faced with Sun Dianying's behavior of dumping the pot, the director of the political training department sneered. Although the two had a tacit understanding in their hearts, they did not leave the slightest hint between their words: "The military seat is the military chief of the new fifth army, and the combat order How can you listen to me, the director of the political training department, and it would be ridiculous to spread the word!"

Sun Dianying wanted to preserve his strength, while the director of the political training department aimed to consume the strength of the Eighth Route Army. The two hit it off.

"Okay, pass my order, and the regiments will attack the intended target!"

The New Fifth Army has a large number of troops, and they are deployed in various places in Lingchuan. Not all the subordinate regiments are equipped with radio stations, but two or three nearby regiments share a radio station.

After the military radio station contacts the next-level radio station, a correspondent is sent to notify the combat troops, and the subordinate troops are afraid of fighting.

With such an ink mark, it is impossible to launch an effective offensive without an hour.

The Fortieth Army, which was responsible for attacking Gaoping and Huguan, was generally similar to the New Fifth Army.

On the contrary, the Yang Han Division of the 281st Regiment of the Central Army stationed in the south of Lin County actively launched an offensive, forming a north-south pincer attack with the anti-Japanese armed forces of Zhang Hao and Guo Huaiwu in the north of Lin County.
