Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

Chapter 213 Let the little devil see what a real elite is

Xinxiang Airport, in front of the ammunition depot.

Daping Xinding, a ground crew member, was pushing a trolley. He carefully removed the aerial bombs and machine gun bullets and put them on the trolley.

This is not a good job. If you don't follow the rules, your life may be in danger.What's more, it is difficult for those pilots to speak, and they will embarrass themselves every time before departure.

While he was working conscientiously, he was suddenly awakened by a noise.

The honest man finally couldn't bear the anger in his heart, lowered his head and began to curse in a low voice. Almost all the ground crews didn't like those arrogant army pilots.

When he raised his head to look for the source of the sound, four planes never seen before flew over the airport at an extremely low altitude.

"Baga! Doesn't it take time to prepare and reload? Why did you come back so quickly?"

"Is this a new type of aircraft from the Kwantung Army? It looks very advanced. I wonder if I will have a chance to get in touch with them later."

As soon as the words fell, one plane after another screamed and passed them at low altitude.

A sharp-eyed ground crew finally noticed the difference. He stood up and pointed to the wing and reminded loudly: "Look! That's not our plane! It doesn't have an emblem!"

At the same time, harsh air defense sirens rang through the sky.

On the way to Xinxiang, Captain Wang Hai was still worried about whether he would encounter the army aviation fleet of devils flying all over the sky.After all, the First Air Division was delayed on the road, giving the enemy plenty of time to prepare.

The main reason is that they had an unexpected harvest and discovered the enemy's cavalry brigade.

In a sense, this type of arm is a greater threat to the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain, and must be dealt with first, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

But it turns out that all worries are unnecessary.

When the huge airport appeared in front of everyone, all the pilots were shocked, because there was not a single Japanese plane that took off and intercepted in the sky over Xinxiang.

When the attack was about to start, the radio silence was lifted, and the communication channel was immediately filled with everyone's surprised voices.

"Captain, what's the situation? Not only are there no enemy planes, but even the air defense alarm just sounded? Didn't those dive bombers return?"

Wang Hai was also a little dazed, he had already prepared for the battle, did he think it would be a tough fight?

But never expected that Xinxiang Airport was not prepared at all.

This is mainly because the devils did not expect that the Republic of China actually had an air force, and they were not even equipped with anti-aircraft guns.The so-called garrison troops are only defending against guerrillas.

As for those [-] single light?They knew very well that the enemy plane would not give up on Xinxiang Airport, so they had already made a detour to land elsewhere.

"All crews! Free to attack! At least one-third of the bullets in the aviation machine guns must be left, and all will retreat in 10 minutes!"

Following Captain Wang Hai's order, the entire formation began to attack in groups of four, with flames gushing out from under the wings of the fighter jets.

Ammunition depots, oil storage areas, and all active devils are targets. Under the rain of bullets of various calibers, the entire airport is like a purgatory on earth.

In the hangar there were several neatly parked Type [-] fighter jets. Dozens of devils bravely rushed out of the dormitory, intending to drive the fighter planes to take off to meet the enemy.

But they were taken care of by Wang Tianbao, and all the remaining Western artillery bullets were given to these brainwashed enemies.

Moments later, the entire road was covered in red debris, full of stumps and broken arms.

The soldiers of the First Air Division completely destroyed Xinxiang Airport in just 5 minutes.

Because of the explosion of the oil storage area and the ammunition depot, not only a raging fire ignited here, but even the runway and some unimportant buildings were destroyed.

After the battle, Captain Wang Hai looked at the scene and shook his head dissatisfied.

"It would be nice to have Mosquito B or Lancaster. Compared with tactical/strategic bombers, the ground attack capability of fighter jets is almost meaningless."

"All crews, retreat! We have run out of fuel and ammunition!"

"Target, the southeast Shanxi base."

······
On the evening of May 1941, 5, the Second Theater Command in Ji County, Shanxi Province.

Although it was time for dinner, the combat meeting room was still busy, and no one left their posts.

Staff officers, big and small, ran around the room, racing against time to sort out the information sent back from the front.

Since the ability to counter espionage has been strengthened, the intelligence network of the Jin faction is not weaker than any organization.

Yan Laoxi knew about the devil's troop mobilization.After all, the joint operations of the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army are very dynamic, and it is impossible to hide it from others.

It's just that his think tanks didn't expect that the Japanese army was going to cross the Yellow River westward to attack Baili Qinchuan on the surface, but in fact they were going eastward and westward to eat the preserved fruits of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Even if the two sides were hostile, Yan Laoxi had to admit that Okamura Ningji's move was powerful enough to deceive almost everyone.

Although the Guofu troops have defended the defense line of Zhongtiao Mountain for more than three years, they even repelled the enemy's [-] attacks.

But he is still not optimistic about the current situation, thinking that the defenders are in danger.After all, the devils were so fierce that they dispatched six divisions.

However, this battle also made Yan Laoxi feel a sense of crisis. Without the 20 candied fruit troops, the entire Jin Province would be changed drastically.

At that time, it will be difficult for the Eighth Route Army alone to withstand the four divisions of the First Army with full firepower.

This means that once the devil successfully captured Zhongtiao Mountain, he would have to surrender if he didn't want to. Who knows if his policy will change.

Perhaps after the surrender, Taiyuan, which he had been thinking about day and night, could be taken back, but that was a charity given to him in his childhood.And it means that he will become a puppet of others, which is not the future he wants.

While Yan Laoxi was thinking hard, a staff officer hurried into the combat conference room with a telegram in his hand.He looked so anxious that he even forgot the military salute.

"President, there is an urgent call from the southwest capital!"

As soon as the words fell, his own parents snatched the telegram and began to read it.During this process, Yan Laoxi was full of sadness, as if he had encountered some difficulties.

"If I knew why it was today, but if the bald head hadn't put the commander of the first theater under house arrest, and hadn't transferred the Fourth Army, Zhongtiaoshan wouldn't have fallen into the current passive situation."

"Let me send troops? I want to help too! But I only have 5 people!"

"What can this little force do? It's not enough for Yoshio Iwamatsu to squeeze his teeth. What can I use to support him!"

After venting his feeling of powerlessness, Yan Laoxi walked to the strategic situation map and began to think about ways to break the situation.

He used to dance on three eggs, and he couldn't break any of them.

But now an egg is about to be pinched and exploded, an egg has an unclear attitude towards him, and an egg is about to abandon him.

Reminiscent of the last negotiation, when Hua Gu was talking about hand-to-hand comparisons and pretending to be no one else, Yan Laoxi made a thorough decision, he wanted to fight for a future for the Jin family.

However, in principle, we still have to drive away tigers and wolves. After all, my family background is too shallow, and rashly sending troops may lose everything.

But at this moment, two more staff officers came in, and they brought different choices to Yan Laoxi.

"Report to the president! Good news from the front line!"

"According to the news from the Zhongtiaoshan garrison, the Eighth Route Army Air Force used more than 300 fighter jets to defeat the devil's army aviation across the board, and also destroyed two airports in Jincheng and Xinxiang."

"Now the enemy has lost the air supremacy on the Zhongtiao Shandong, West, and Northeast lines. Except for the main battlefield on the west line, all ministries have stabilized their positions."

After listening to the report, Yan Laoxi took a deep breath.Playing football, why haven't I seen the Air Force in a few months, this development speed is too fast.

As someone who has worked in the Air Force, he naturally knows how difficult it is.Not to mention anything else, just the aircraft and fuel have baffled [-]% of the forces.

After reading the first report, the staff officer directly read the second report.

"President, the devil sent an envoy. Inform us to take over some counties in the province. You see how to deal with this matter."

This news was a bit unexpected, Yan Laoxi thought that Yoshio Iwamatsu had completely given up the idea of ​​negotiating peace with him.

However, after careful inspection, he found that the geographical locations of these counties were not very good.Either it borders on the northwest of Shanxi, or it is close to the base of the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi.

The devil's idea is very simple, nothing more than using these awkwardly located occupied areas to buy himself off.

Now the First Army has mobilized a large number of troops, and the entire province relies on two independent mixed brigades to take care of the house.Once the Eighth Route Army starts to make trouble in the rear, they will definitely not be able to hold on.

After accepting these counties, both the Central Army and the Eighth Route Army will be suspicious of the Jinsui Army.

What's more, the final ownership of these sites does not depend on the faces of the Japanese.If you don't be a dog to the devils, you will still spit it out no matter how much you eat.

Seeing the hesitation of the head of the family, the staff at the side suddenly became a little anxious: "President, do you think we should accept or not accept these county towns?"

"Take it! Why not take it! There is no reason not to eat the meat that is brought to your mouth."

Thinking of the scene of being humiliated that day, Yan Laoxi became very angry.

"Pass my order! While taking over the county, the troops must be ready to fight. If the Japanese want to ask, they will say that we must strictly guard against the Eighth Route Army!"

"Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, our relationship is not very good."

"Let your subordinates keep an eye on it! Once the devil appears to be on the decline! Let's press it up immediately! I, Yan Baichuan! Not only do I want revenge! I also want to avenge myself!"

After everyone left, Yan Laoxi clenched his fists.

Now the situation in North China is very chaotic, this is the only chance to regain the lost ground.If you don't grasp it, it is estimated that you will not be able to infect Shanxi in the future.

······
For this Zhongtiaoshan battle, the deputy commander-in-chief made a lot of arrangements.

On the one hand, it was naturally a sabotage operation. The enemy not only used six divisions, but also dispatched a lot of armored troops.If such troops cannot keep up with supplies, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

In the plan of the deputy commander-in-chief, he planned to use the base regiment, militia and the masses to destroy the Baijin line, Zhengtai line, Tongpu line, Pinghan line and Pingsui line.

Since the deputy commander-in-chief was preparing to launch a major operation in Jin Province before the devils aggressively attacked Zhongtiao Mountain, there was no difficulty in personnel scheduling.

Coupled with the fact that the raid operation is actually a smaller version of the Hundred Regiments War, it can be said that comrades are very familiar with it.

On the other hand, it is natural to send the main force to support the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain. Such a military operation is much more difficult than attacking from the rear.

Neiji Okamura and Yoshio Iwamatsu can certainly think of things that their own side can think of.

The 36th and 37th Divisions, in addition to attacking the west line of Zhongtiao Mountain, also had the purpose of strictly preventing the Eighth Route Army from going south to support.

Once something unexpected happens, these two divisions may stop attacking at any time, and cooperate with the 41st Division on the east side to eat any troops who come to support.

Considering that the next battle will be very difficult, the deputy commander can only wait until the troops are fully assembled before giving the order to attack.

······
Let's move our perspective to southeast Shanxi, the training base of the Eighth Route Army's airborne troops.

"Regimental Commander! When will our First Marine Regiment be dispatched? Aren't the transport planes and gliders parked in the base? When will it be our turn?"

"Is it possible to let people eat meat, and the troops directly under our headquarters are standing there stupidly? Half of the [-]th Division has been dispatched. Isn't this making the brother troops laugh at us?"

"What are you afraid of? Why don't you dare to fight with the deputy commander in chief?"

Looking at the anxious monk and Duan Peng, Li Yunlong put down the book in his hand, and spread his hands helplessly towards the two.

Although he is also anxious, after all, the Marine Regiment occupies the best resources of the entire army, and it can't be justified if it doesn't achieve some results.However, the parachute operation requires a lot of intelligence support, and it is nothing to dispatch rashly.

"What are you doing? Everyone's eyes are staring like cow eggs. Why are you staring at me? I'm disorganized and disciplined!"

"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry. The superior must have his own considerations, and good steel must be used wisely. How bad it is for the comrades to hear you two complaining like this."

"I can understand your emotions. If you really can't, find a place where there is no one and hit your head against the wall."

Just then, the phone in the base rang.

Li Datuan, who was still pointing the country, immediately jumped up from the stool, and he directly picked up the receiver in a few strides.

"Li Yunlong! You kid must be swearing again"

The words are not finished yet.The brigade commander at the other end suddenly remembered something.My love will no longer be the jerk it used to be, and now it can barely be regarded as an obedient child who loves to learn.

After the two sides were silent for a few seconds, Li Yunlong bowed his head and said tentatively: "Which bastard beat me up?"

"Hahaha! Alright, don't talk nonsense with me here. You can start to make preparations before departure. The deputy commander is making your regiment's attack plan."

"Listen up, kid! Although you went out to do it alone, as long as you fight well, my face will be bright!"

"Be careful! I wish you the best of luck!"

Li Yunlong was very moved by the concerned tone on the other end of the phone. He adjusted his mood and replied loudly: "Brigade Commander! Just watch it! I will lead my regiment! Let the little devils see what a real elite is!"

　I wish you all a happy May Day holiday!
