But the chief of staff of the ground-air integrated command center first built by the Eighth Route Army was not Shen Quan, the commander of the third independent regiment of a team. Who else could it be?

Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan are also old comrades-in-arms.

Dabiao likes to play dumb.

Chen Quan likes to play dirty.

These two people were enemies. Zhang Dabiao believed that Shen Quan would only play dirty tricks and would not be able to get on the stage.

Shen Quan thinks that Zhang Dabiao has a stupid mind and is not suitable for command!

After this back and forth, there were more mutual quarrels, but a revolutionary friendship was born.

It's just that the two of them always like to compete.

The Independent Regiment grew rapidly under the leadership of Kong Jie. After it was expanded into the First Independent Anti-Japanese Detachment in Northwestern Shanxi, Shen Quan's position also increased and he was appointed as the leader of the Third Independent Regiment.

At this moment, Zhang Dabiao, who was just a battalion commander, was compared to him.

This time, I finally received an order from my superiors and came to this ground-air integrated command center to serve as deputy chief of staff.

Even though Zhang Dabiao was a little hesitant when he agreed and was worried that he wouldn't be able to do the job well, he was actually extremely happy.

One of them is just wondering, after this job transfer, can I finally catch up with Lao Shen?

Who would have thought, this turn of the head.

Got it!

Old Shen was directly appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Ground-Air Integrated Command Center, but he was overpowered!

Who do you want Zhang Dabiao to talk to?

Zhang Dabiao turned around and wanted to leave, but Shen Quan held him back with a smile.

"Haha, I mean, Da Biao, we old comrades haven't worked together for a long time. It's a coincidence that we can work together again!"

Chen Quan would be extremely happy. This time he heard that the headquarters had built a ground-air integrated command center, and he hadn't come to his senses yet!

Kong Jie, the old commander of the regiment, recommended to the headquarters that Shen Quan serve as the chief of staff of this ground-air integrated command center.

Speaking of which, Shen Quan is indeed talented in this area.

A team has a corresponding ground-air integrated command course.

Among the generals who took this course, Shen Quan's results have always been the best.

Although at that time, even the entire Eighth Route Army did not have a decent aircraft, let alone the aviation force that was now secretly built and could even compete with the Japanese flying force.

But Captain Kong’s vision is forward-looking.

He believed that the aviation force belonging to the Eighth Route Army would be established sooner or later, and that integrated ground-air command operations would certainly be indispensable.

Therefore, we prepared talents in advance.

This is a good tradition of the Eighth Route Army.

Yan'an even prepared pilots many years ago!

So Shen Quan took office.

But he never expected that such a good thing would happen. His deputy chief of staff turned out to be Zhang Dabiao!

Shen Quan immediately felt energetic.

……

HD Japanese Chengnan Airport.

After Captain Du's order was issued, the battle to encircle the Japanese troops into the independent first brigade began directly.

There is almost no suspense about the progress after the battle begins.

During the May Day raids, the little devils launched an unprecedented scale of raids but ended in disastrous defeat.

Since entering China, due to the constant pampering and the huge profits from business everywhere, the independents have gradually become corrupted and mixed into the first brigade. How can there be much will to fight to the death?

Especially after the confrontation between the two sides began.

News quickly came from the front, and many of the Eighth Route Army troops who appeared were even wearing steel helmets.

"General, he is a steel-helmeted soldier of the Eighth Route Army! The elite Eighth Route Army from Taihang is here!!!"

This sudden news was like a summons from the Palace of Hell. It frightened the old devil Suzuki so much that he almost subconsciously wanted to escape.

He knew exactly how tragic his brother Suzuki's death was.

After being captured by the Eighth Route Army, he was shot directly after a public trial.

He died with great shame.

When he thought of this, Major General Suzuki, who was so distraught, had no intention of fighting to the death. On the one hand, he quickly mobilized his deployment to be on guard against attacks by the Eighth Route Army troops at any time, and on the other hand, he quickly requested help from all parties.

As for the first person to ask for help, it was naturally Okamura Neji, his big backer behind Suzuki.

After the news reached the Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters.

Okamura was also surprised.

He suddenly realized that the battle around Licheng was not over. These damn Eighth Route Army seemed to want to put on a special performance at the end.

HD City is in an important location.

Chengnan Airport was used as a temporary airport this time, receiving a large number of fighter planes that were damaged in the air battle in Licheng and were forced to land nearby.

Okamura, who realized this, secretly said something was wrong.

Could it be that the Eighth Route Army received the intelligence and headed for the Chengnan Airport?

The bad news that came one after another made it difficult for Okamura to accept.

Not long ago, news came from Shanghai that three large military airports in the empire were raided by enemy fighter planes.

The specific damage is still being calculated, but according to the news, three large airports were severely damaged.

The enemy was very cunning. They hid their fighter planes in the returning flight groups, and very boldly and boldly went all the way to the military airport, pretended to make an emergency landing, and then directly launched a surprise attack during the emergency landing.

A large number of bombs and incendiary bombs almost flooded the entire airport.

The Shanghai side is holding Okamura's headquarters accountable, and requires the Japanese military in North China to quickly investigate and find out the specific situation. Where did this enemy plane group that sneakily attacked the large military airport in the Shanghai Empire come from.

After the news came, Okamura actually had some speculations.

But he was not willing to admit that he spent a lot of effort to deploy in the Licheng area and launch air strikes against the Eighth Route Army's aviation unit and the army stationed in Licheng.

Not only did it fail to achieve the expected combat objectives, but it caused heavy losses to various flying units. At present, even the large Imperial military airport in Shanghai may have been followed by the Eighth Route Army's secret aviation unit as the flying units returning from the Empire took the opportunity to launch an attack.

What about air strikes?

So, this takeoff was due to Okamura's command error, which caused great losses to the empire?

Under such circumstances, if HD Chengnan Airport is also lost.

Together with a large number of fighter planes from East China and Central China that were parked at the Chengnan Airport, they were all destroyed.

After repeated setbacks and humiliations, Okamura might have become a sinner of the empire.

With this in mind, Okamura, who did not dare to delay any longer, quickly passed the headquarters and, as commander-in-chief, issued combat orders to the various Japanese troops around the HD City South Airport to rush reinforcements to HD City.

Okamura also contacted the headquarters of the Japanese First Independent Mixed Brigade in HD City and expressed special comfort to Suzuki in the communication.

Indicates that reinforcements will arrive soon.

"You must defend HD City at all costs, especially the Empire's Chengnan Airport!"

Okamura gave the order almost in a roar.

Major General Suzuki had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept the order, and then while launching defense, he continued to communicate with various reinforcements.

Soon, Suzuki contacted the Northern Henan Harada Division and the Fourth Cavalry Brigade in the south.

In the news fed back by the Communications Department of the Harada Division, Harada, the old Japanese soldier, vowed: "According to the order of Your Excellency the Commander, our division is rapidly advancing towards HD City. Please rest assured, Mr. Suzuki, we will definitely provide reinforcements in time!"

The brigade commander of the 4th Cavalry Brigade basically responded in the same way.

After replying, the brigade leader immediately contacted the old Japanese Harada.

The two people have almost the same thoughts.

When Taiyuan City was besieged by the main force of the Eighth Route Army, they rushed to reinforce the city. However, they fell into the Eighth Route Army's trick and were almost annihilated by the entire army. The tragedy seems still vivid in our minds.

I'm running for reinforcements this late at night.

Are there any traps?

Could it be another trap deliberately set by the Eighth Route Army, just waiting for us to jump into it ourselves?

Lieutenant General Harada was completely frightened by the cunning Eighth Route Army. After discussing with the brigade commander of the Fourth Brigade, he finally decided.

Let’s gather together and conduct some reconnaissance first. As for reinforcing HD City, don’t be in a hurry!

Anyway, there is still the Independent First Mixed Brigade in HD City, plus a lot of troops assisting in the defense! You can’t be unable to hold on even for that moment, right?

Besides, Harada and the 4th Brigade did not send reinforcements in time, so there are always other reinforcements around who can send reinforcements in time, right?
To be continued...
