The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

Datong, No.30 Sixth Army Headquarters.

Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the general staff, is reporting to Zhang Yunfei on the situation at the front.

"Commander-in-Chief! The troops on the front line have sent back a series of telegrams one after another. Our three columns attacking Nanjing have reached the front line of the Laoshan Mountains. The column is also passing through the west side of the Laoshan Mountains, and the progress of the 8th column is a bit slow because it is a frontal breakthrough."

After listening to Zuo Qingquan's report, Zhang Yunfei walked to the map in person and looked at the positions of the various troops. Then, Zhang Yunfei said happily: "Old Zuo, according to this progress, it is estimated that our troops will approach the Yangtze River tomorrow morning." North Shore."

"Well! My opinion is similar to that of the commander-in-chief." Comrade Zuo Qingquan, the chief of the general staff, nodded, "However, the situation around Nanjing is more complicated now, and many Japanese troops are coming one after another, and it seems that they are also planning to attack Nanjing. The little devils on the periphery.”[

"Oh! There is such a thing." Zhang Yunfei thought for a while, and then said: "Send a report to our troops. We welcome these independent troops. If necessary, we can provide some help."

Deng Wenping, the director of the General Political Department next to him, also said: "These gangsters are also our anti-Japanese forces in China. They come together to fight the devils. We still have to help what we should help."

"Commander-in-Chief! There is another situation that needs to be reported to you."

"Old Zuo! Tell me!"

Comrade Zuo Qingquan, chief of the general staff, immediately said seriously: "According to a series of telegrams sent back by our three columns, we can see that there are a lot of puppet troops near Nanjing. How should we deal with these puppet troops?"

The puppet army is also from China, and every time it is dealt with, it is more difficult. Many puppet troops used to be Communist troops, but later they surrendered to the little devils and became puppet troops.

The Wang puppet regime is in Nanjing, and there are as many puppet troops in the vicinity of Nanjing. Not only are there more puppet troops near Nanjing, but in the whole of Jiangnan, the number of puppet troops has reached hundreds of thousands, which may not be less than the little devils in number. How many.

Zhang Yunfei thought for a while, and decided to take a propaganda offensive. Zhang Yunfei decided: "Notify the 'Datong Radio Station', at least three times a day, to publicize the crimes of the Wang puppet regime to the whole country, and persuade the puppet troops across the country to surrender. If they do not surrender voluntarily, We will punish severely."

"At the same time, the "Datong Ri Bao" has been doing a lot of publicity during this period of time, launching a psychological offensive against all the puppet troops, explaining that the little devils are no longer good and will be wiped out by us soon. The puppet soldiers must see the direction clearly and immediately Set things right anyway..."

Regarding the propaganda, Zhang Yunfei made careful arrangements, and immediately, the 'Datong Radio Station' immediately started a massive propaganda offensive, as did the "Datong Daily".

The large-scale propaganda of the No.30 Sixth Army immediately became visible. Many puppet troops voluntarily surrendered, and some even defected before the battle and launched an attack on the little devils. Of course, this is a later thing.

At this time, the 10th Column was carrying out a large-scale shelling of the little devil's position.

Cannonballs exploded on the little devil's position one after another. The movement was very loud, and the dense explosions could be heard clearly from a distance of more than ten kilometers.

The mechanized infantry regiments, tank regiments, infantry regiments, and even some independent troops that will participate in the attack have all entered the designated positions as planned. Once the sound of the artillery stops, everyone will conduct a large-scale charge.

*********** Nanjing, the headquarters of the Little Devil's Central China Front Army.

The little devil commander Matsui Iwane is convening a group of little devil officers to discuss countermeasures.

Now, a large number of heavy artillery from the No. 30 Sixth Army are bombarding the little devils' positions. Obviously, the little devils can't stay still and are ready to discuss countermeasures.

Matsui Iwane looked at all the little devil officers present, his face was not good-looking at all, the situation on the front line of the little devils was not good, and Matsui Iwane's mood was not much better.

Just now, Matsui Iwane had finished his opening remarks and explained the situation, and then all the little devil officers will express their opinions, and everyone will discuss countermeasures together. [

A young devil said little, "Your Excellency, Commander, several heavy artillery groups of the No.30 Sixth Army are currently bombarding our defense line fiercely. We can't be beaten in vain without returning fire. I suggest that our plane take off immediately. , Destroy the heavy artillery groups of the No.30 Sixth Army."

Several little devil officers around also nodded slightly. As long as they can destroy the heavy artillery group of the No. 30 Sixth Army, the little devils think that the next battle will be much easier.

However, there was still a little devil who was a little worried, "Everyone, the No.30 Sixth Army has built a large airfield in Chuzhou. Our planes bombed their heavy artillery group. Their planes are very fast. will come over.”

Hearing this, several little devil officers agreed with this little devil lieutenant general.

Even if the little devils dispatch planes to attack, there is very little time for the little devils. Maybe, the little devils' plane will be entangled by the No. 30 Sixth Army's Mustang fighter jets.

Matsui Iwane's expression was also quite grim, thinking that this was just a bad idea. Matsui Iwane knew that once his fleet encountered the No. 30 Sixth Army's fleet, the chances of winning would be very small.

Now, the best way is to destroy the Chuzhou airfield of the No.30 Sixth Army.

Thinking of the No.30 Sixth Army's Chuzhou Airport, Matsui Iwane couldn't help turning his head and asked the little devil's chief of staff, "Send a report to the 72nd Wing, where are they?"

Seeing his commander ask, the little devil's chief of staff immediately said respectfully: "An hour ago, the 72nd Wing sent a telegram, and their location is about ten kilometers away from Chuzhou Airport."

"Yoshi!" Seeing that the distance was only ten kilometers away, Matsui Iwane's face brightened immediately, "Hurry up and send a report to the 72nd Regiment, march quickly, and quickly destroy the No.30 Sixth Army's Chuzhou Airport."

Since the completion of Chuzhou Airport, Chuzhou Airport has become a thorn in Matsui Iwane's eye, a thorn in his flesh, making Matsui Iwane restless.

Last time, after sending planes to bomb Chuzhou Airport failed, Matsui Iwane thought of another way. Two days ago, he dispatched a small devil field infantry regiment, all wearing the gray cloth uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, and went around all the way, with the goal of destroying Chuzhou Airport. .

Seeing that this field infantry unit, the 72nd unit, was only ten kilometers away from Chuzhou Airport, Matsui Iwane was naturally very happy.

Even a group of little devil officers looked good, and even a few little devil officers secretly admired Iwane Matsui, thinking in their hearts, Your Excellency, Commander, is really a good plan, and such a good method can be thought of.

Immediately, several little devils flattered.

Hearing the flattery of several little devil officers, Matsui Iwane was in a good mood and began to make a decision, "Order the 72nd Regiment to march quickly, destroy Chuzhou Airport and report immediately, and then order Nanjing Airport to send all the planes to hit No. .30 troops of the Sixth Army."

Matsui Iwane believes that as long as the No.30 Sixth Army's Chuzhou Airport is destroyed, his planes can safely attack the units of the No.30 Sixth Army. late.

Matsui Iwane's order was immediately sent to the 72nd Regiment.

*********** Less than ten kilometers east of Chuzhou Airport, patches of small forests began to appear, and some small hills began to appear. If you walk into these forests, you may find that several forests here are full of the Eighth Route Army , A large group of the Eighth Route Army.

This is an army of several thousand people, all of which are brand-new uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, all Japanese weapons, and even brought more than a dozen 60mm mortars and a large number of shells.

This is the 72nd Regiment of the Little Devils. The 72nd Regiment of the Little Devils is all disguised as the Eighth Route Army. After a rest, the little devils are finally approaching their destination.

These little devils all dressed up as the Eighth Route Army, and the little devils became more and more cunning. [

The little devil's captain of the Zuolian also dressed up as a commander of the Eighth Route Army, but the black beard in the middle of the little devil's lips still looked a bit conspicuous.

Even though he was disguised as the Eighth Route Army, the little devil commander was still reluctant to shave off his beard, not only the captain of the little devil, but also many little devil officers, with a black beard in the center of their lips.

The little devils marched fearfully all night last night, advanced dozens of kilometers, and are now resting here.

A little devil messenger walked over quickly and reported loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, call us and order us to march quickly and destroy the No.30 Sixth Army's Chuzhou Airport as quickly as possible."

This group of little devils has been on standby here. The little devils know that the longer they stay here, the greater the danger. There will be patrols from the No. 30 Sixth Army here at any time.

It is dangerous if the target is exposed.

After receiving the order, the leader of the little devils felt relieved, and immediately waved his hand, ordering the little devils to march quickly, and the target was Chuzhou Airport, which was about 10 kilometers away.

The little devils are all lightly armed, and the only heavy weapon is the dozens of mortars. For the sake of marching, the little devils didn't even carry the cumbersome Type [-] heavy machine gun, but carried a much lighter crooked handle sub machine gun.

As for these mortars, the little devils were used to bombard Chuzhou Airport, so the little devils had to take them with them.

After receiving the order, the little devils came out of the woods one after another and began to trot all the way, with the goal of Chuzhou Airport.
