Chapter 557 Do you dare to live and die with me?
Nanchuan County, Shenlong Gorge.
After the jeep stopped, Zhang Anping got out of the car - it was a pity that he was not wearing sunglasses or a military uniform, otherwise he could have replicated Zheng Yaoxian's handsome look when he got out of the car that year.
"District Chief, you are here."
The person who said this was Wu Jingzhong.
At this moment, Wu Jingzhong did not act like a senior when facing Zhang Anping during the Guanwang Temple period, nor did he look reserved and condescending when facing Zhang Anping after the Shanghai District was first changed to Shanghai Station. His attitude was very humble, and he greeted Zhang Anping completely like a subordinate.
After the merger of the two districts and one station, Wu Jingzhong, as the deputy district chief of Special District 1, automatically became the deputy district chief of Shanghai District. Although Xu Baichuan was the district chief of Shanghai District at that time, the real person in charge was Zhang Anping. Zhang Anping never hesitated to strike back at his opponents, and Old Wu was directly in a retirement state at that time.
After overcoming the psychological gap, Old Wu behaved very calmly. Seeing that he was "tamed", Zhang Anping gave him freedom after the trip to Chongqing and sent him to Chongqing - Wu Jingzhong was able to start a new life.
This time, the entire escort of this batch of air defense equipment was obviously a signal that Lao Dai had reactivated him.
"Old Wu, you are being too polite..." Zhang Anping smiled brightly, and held Wu Jingzhong's hand with one hand. After Wu Jingzhong quickly stretched out his other hand, he stretched out his other hand and patted his hand, and then said:
"We are old comrades. It is so exciting to be able to fight side by side again this time!"
"Old Wu, come on, take me to see this empty city of ours!"
The empty city refers to this bluffing camp.
Literally, all the arriving American equipment will be stored here, and then various units will take turns to change their equipment and familiarize themselves with the equipment here to ensure that there will be no gaps in Chongqing's air defense during the familiarization period.
But in reality, this is an empty campsite.
But it was such an empty camp that successfully fooled the observation team sent by the Chongqing Air Defense Command yesterday.
In fact, Wu Jingzhong's operation was very simple. He leaked out a small number of real things, and put a large number of models in transportation status - the observation team never thought that they would be fooled by their own people in this way, and they were just crippled.
Because it had been a day since the observation group left, a large number of "anti-aircraft equipment" had appeared in the Shenlong Gorge camp. These American-made anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, searchlights, etc. were neatly arranged in the camp. If there were spies observing from a distance with a telescope, they would definitely be shocked by the number.
The convoy is still moving back and forth, and the equipment inside is still increasing.
Accompanied by Wu Jingzhong in a humble manner, Zhang Anping walked around the camp that was destined to be ravaged by Japanese bombs, and finally rushed to the topic of today:
Shenlongxia air defense position group.
Zhang Anping's air defense staff officer Yu Yongqing and the head of the air defense regiment had been waiting for their superiors' inspection. After Zhang Anping arrived, Yu Yongqing immediately led them to the headquarters and used a sand table to describe the situation of the entire air defense position group to Zhang Anping:
"Commander Zhang, we have deployed a total of 18 large and small anti-aircraft positions based on the surrounding environment. These positions surround the Shenlong Gorge camp in an irregular circle. Once all are activated, multiple cross-aircraft firepower will be formed within a three-kilometer radius with the Shenlong Gorge camp as the center. Within this range, it can be guaranteed that every enemy aircraft group will face firepower attacks from at least three anti-aircraft positions."
"The problem of insufficient anti-aircraft guns that you worried about before has been greatly improved. The four anti-aircraft battalions transferred from Chongqing are all equipped with anti-aircraft guns. In addition, Commander Wu made the decision to transfer a batch of searchlights and American anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, which greatly strengthened our anti-aircraft firepower."
"With our current anti-aircraft firepower, if the enemy planes come over, we can conservatively estimate that we can destroy half of them!"
Yu Yongqing's state was completely different from before. At this moment, he looked very excited, as if he was a dragon entering the sea or a tiger entering the mountains. He patted his chest to make a promise and looked particularly energetic.
Zhang Anping looked at the commander of the air defense regiment, who nodded quickly in agreement.
Seeing this, Zhang Anping felt relieved and asked:
"Is there any problem in the communication between the departments?"
Yu Yongqing replied: "No problem, we have set up two telephone lines."
After hearing this, Zhang Anping thought for a moment and said, "I am an outsider in air defense. I will not interfere in this area, but I think the telephone lines may not be enough. How about this? I will approve the funds and prepare two more telephone lines in case of emergency."
"At worst, we can just assume that our preparations were in vain, but it's better than not being able to contact you at the critical moment - do you think that's ok?"
Zhang Anping thought that the air defense positions relied on coordination to deal with aircraft. These air defense forces came from various divisions and there was certainly no tacit understanding between them, so the phone call was of utmost importance, which was why he made this "suggestion".
Everyone present was surprised by Zhang Anping's attitude. Most of them - or it should be said that almost all of the generals - would never admit to others that they were laymen in any area.
Those who can pretend to give instructions are considered good generals. What is worrying is that some people pretend to know but insist on giving blind orders, such as moving the anti-aircraft gun a certain number of meters, moving the machine gun position a certain number of meters...
Where is Zhang Anping?
He only understood the layout of the air defense positions but did not interfere. The only instruction he gave was over the telephone line, which involved multiple rounds of funding.
Is this the commander?
No, this is a living Buddha!
After this meeting, Zhang Anping stayed there, but he was not idle. In the following time, he visited every air defense position. Although he did not interfere with the command of the air defense forces, he dealt with some common things in the national army that everyone was accustomed to but violated military discipline. He also personally approved funds to improve the food of the air defense forces in various positions.
In short, he did not interfere with the command, but tried his best to play the role of logistics steward.
Three days passed like this. As the air defense forces were waiting eagerly, an early warning message came from the air defense surveillance post east of Chongqing:
A group of enemy planes was spotted, numbering about fifty!
Because of the Japanese's large-scale bombing of Chongqing, the Nationalist government established a large number of air defense surveillance posts within a 200-kilometer radius around Chongqing, using this artificial method to provide early warning of air raids.
When the news came, the Shenlong Gorge air defense positions immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and each unit was ready to wait for Japanese planes to arrive.
There is a saying in the air defense force:
Air defense, air defense, nine out of ten defenses are air defense!
The reason for this is that the sky is too vast, the space for aircraft operations is too large, and the radiation range of an air defense position is ultimately limited. Shooting down an aircraft depends largely on luck.
And this is the place where enemy planes must bomb. The air defense forces, which have been sighing at the enemy planes all along, have long understood the situation. Now they are just waiting for the enemy planes to come to their doorstep and be massacred in their dense air defense network.
But no matter how long they waited, there was still no sign of the enemy plane.
Command.
Zhang Anping closed his eyes and waited for the air raid sirens to sound, but as time passed, the roar of planes and the shrill sound of air raid sirens never sounded.
Jingle Bell
The phone rang urgently, Wu Jingzhong stepped forward to answer the phone, and then his face gradually became serious.
He put down the phone and walked over to Zhang Anping to report:
"District Commander, Chongqing was bombed by enemy planes."
Zhang Anping suddenly opened his eyes and looked directly at Wu Jingzhong, as if asking if it was true.
Wu Jingzhong nodded to confirm what he had just said.
The enemy planes...are actually heading towards Chongqing?
Zhang Anping was a little confused. Why were the enemy planes heading towards Chongqing?
Although he failed to find the spy from the air defense command, everything was going according to his script.
But now, the enemy planes that are coming with great momentum are heading towards Chongqing?
This is tantamount to denying Zhang Anping's script from the root.
He even made an absurd guess:
There are no spies in the Chongqing Air Defense Command, and I have always been throwing my seductive eyes to a blind man.
【is that so? 】
Zhang Anping closed his eyes and thought for a long time. Afterwards, he slammed the table, startling everyone in the command center.
He waved his hands, signaling everyone to ignore him.
[This bombing was a smokescreen. The Japanese were telling me in this way: I didn’t find Shenlong Gorge…]
He thought about it again and again and confirmed this guess.
The atmosphere in the headquarters was a little heavy - mainly because it did not meet their expectations.
From the beginning, their understanding or expectation was:
The enemy’s next bombing will definitely be directed at Shenlong Gorge!
But the reality was that the enemy aircraft ignored Shenlong Gorge and instead carried out a show of force bombing in Chongqing before leaving.
This made them wonder:
Could it be that... all my work here was in vain?
Zhang Anping was a smart man, so he naturally noticed the expressions of the people in the headquarters. He suddenly laughed and said:
"The Japanese devils are actually trying to play military tactics with me." "Oh, when it comes to playing military tactics, we are the ancestors - get ready! The next time the Japanese bomb, this will be the main target. I guess our peaceful life will be over in a few days at most."
He paused and then said:
"When we get to make dumplings with the Japs' planes, don't complain that there are too many dumplings!"
This sentence made all the officers in the headquarters burst into laughter. Before, they had been extremely resistant to Zhang Anping, but now many of them followed his words and there was constant laughter in the headquarters for a while.
Wu Jingzhong glanced at Zhang Anping silently and thought:
You sound nice, but I'm afraid that your trick will end up like you winking at a blind man!
His emotions towards Zhang Anping were too complicated, but at this moment, he did not want Zhang Anping's plan to fail - but why did he feel so comfortable when he thought about Zhang Anping's plan failing and Zhang Shihao's myth being shattered?
Amidst the laughter and joy of the crowd, Zhang Anping left the command center.
Staring at the sky, he didn't know what he was thinking.
……
In fact, according to Takasu Hiroki's earliest plan, after this air raid, they would pass through Nanchuan during the retreat, and at that time they would take the opportunity to conduct aerial photography to determine the specific location.
But surprisingly, Hawkeye joined the observation group of the air defense headquarters and went personally to the camp where the air defense equipment was stored - this way, there was no need for the reconnaissance plane to make a special trip.
The Japanese command planned to carry out direct bombing.
However, Takasu Hiroki suggested in a telegram that a wave of bombings should be carried out on Chongqing first to paralyze the enemy. After the enemy is paralyzed, the aircraft should be concentrated to carry out a large-scale bombing.
The Shenlong Gorge in Nanchuan can be "erased" along the way.
This suggestion was approved by the command, and thus this small-scale bombing operation was carried out.
But this is just a superficial reason.
In fact, Takasu Hiroki deliberately made this suggestion to the headquarters after learning that Zhang Shihao was in charge of the intelligence security of the Shenlongxia camp.
The purpose was simple. They used a larger-scale bombing to defeat Zhang Shihao's "lie" that he had wiped out the Great Bandit Intelligence Group. They also used the fact that the Shenlong Gorge camp was completely bombed into ashes to send a message to the Chinese and Japanese intelligence communities:
I, Takasu Hiroki, am a man who has completely defeated God!
Yes, this is Takasu Hiroki’s ambition.
However, he didn't know that because of his ambition, he almost thought he was a rival to "God" and fell into self-doubt.
Fortunately, Zhang Anping was resolute and stuck to his own judgment.
……
Time came two days later.
In the evening, the phone rang urgently.
Wu Jingzhong picked up the phone and after hearing the urgent voice on the other end of the phone, he immediately pressed the air raid alarm.
The shrill alarm sounded throughout the Shenlong Gorge, and everyone's nerves were immediately tense.
Zhang Anping appeared at the command center as soon as possible.
"what happened?"
"Enemy planes are coming!" Wu Jingzhong's voice was a little distorted: "The news reported by the air defense surveillance post in Longshan three minutes ago - more than 130 Japanese bombers are flying towards Chongqing!"
Zhang Anping, who always had sharp hearing, asked in shock: "How much?"
"More than one hundred and thirty!"
When the officers who arrived heard this number, they all gasped.
Since the Japanese began bombing Chongqing, bombings with less than 20 planes were considered small-scale bombings, and bombings with 30 to 40 planes were considered medium-scale bombings.
If there are more than fifty of them, it would be a large-scale bombing.
Chongqing has experienced many bombings by Japanese aircraft since the first one in February 1938, but there has never been a bombing of more than 2 scales!
And this time, the Japanese army dispatched... 130 planes!
Note, this is a bomber, not a fighter.
The Japanese army was equipped with two main types of bombers, the G3M bomber and the Type 20 bomber. The former had a bomb load of kilograms, and the latter had a bomb load of kilograms. If they were equipped with -kilogram small bombs, the former could carry bombs and the latter could carry as many as bombs!
Although the weight of the bomb is not equal to the weight of the explosives, the amount of explosives inside the bomb is extremely high. The destructive power caused by the explosion of more than ten kilograms of explosives is enough to be called earth-shattering destruction.
How many bombs do 130 bombers carry?
Moreover, the bombers are equipped with multiple machine guns and a machine cannon. A machine gun on the battlefield can suppress countless soldiers and make them unable to raise their heads. 130 bombers mean at least 390 machine guns and 130 powerful machine cannons!
One officer couldn't help cursing, "Damn it! Are the Japanese crazy? So many planes against us?"
Zhang Anping said quietly, "They are not just targeting us. They will bomb Chongqing and us at the same time."
Even though Zhang Anping said this, everyone still felt a chill down their spine.
This number is really shocking!
But at this time, Zhang Anping was thinking about the worst tragedy in the Chongqing bombing - the Japanese army at that time was probably of this scale, and in that bombing known as the June 6 Tunnel Massacre, about three thousand people died in Chongqing, and the number of injured... was countless!
The image of Chongqing burning in flames flashed before his eyes, and he clenched his fists.
After taking a deep breath, Zhang Anping said, "Everyone, I have a... bold plan!"
"If you succeed, you will all be heroes of the Chinese nation."
"If you lose, the people of Chongqing will remember you in their hearts!"
"I will stand on the front line and die with you all..."
He swept his eyes across the faces of all the officers in the headquarters and said word by word, "Do you dare to...live and die with me?"
In ancient times, when a general charged into battle, the soldiers would swear to serve until their death.
In modern warfare, red-eyed commanders will move their headquarters forward and use actions to tell the fighting soldiers:
Either life or death!
At this time, although Zhang Anping did not tell everyone his daring plan, his words "I will stand on the front line until death, and live and die with you" made these officers excited.
Your precious Zhang Shihao is not afraid of death, so how can we... be afraid of death!
"Dare! Why dare not?"
"Ever since I was a kid, I never thought about going home alive!"
"Commander Zhang, we will do whatever you say. Today, we will live and die with you!"
The officers spoke out passionately.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army really were not afraid of death. From the Lugou Bridge in Peking to the meat grinder in Songhu, from Nanjing to Wuhan, on every inch of land across the country, they really were not afraid of death.
They have never let the country down. Instead, it is the corrupt and incompetent Nationalist government that has always let them down.
When a leading officer is willing to fight to the death, they are willing to accompany him with all their passion!
Wu Jingzhong, who knew Zhang Anping very well, had only one thought in his mind at this time:
Oh my god, he, he, he wouldn't want to take all the Japanese planes...
[Impossible, he is crazy, but he can never be this crazy! ]
Wu Jingzhong frantically dispelled the thoughts in his mind. Those were 130 bombers, not 130 fighter jets!
He looked at Zhang Anping and saw absolute calmness and suffocating madness in Zhang Anping's eyes.
His eyes darkened, and he thought:
It's over!
