Chapter 158: Chu Jingming asks for help

(additional updates to the leader of Dahai Xiaoxi)

Time passed, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye. After nearly a month of full-speed repairs, the Longshan Airport, which covers an area of ​​more than 300 acres, was finally completed three days ago.

That night, Qiao Anbang took out a hundred BF109s, thirty He111 medium bombers and twenty Skatu dive bombers from the aircraft.

Since Qiao Anbang sent people to martial law to the entire airport after the completion of the airport, it was not until a few days later that the recruited pilots and ground crews were allowed to enter, so when they entered the airport, they saw a neatly arranged fighter plane, except for excitement and shock, they did not doubt the origin of the plane.

Even if someone suspects occasionally, he can only think secretly in his heart. No one knows what's going on, no one will tell them why people have to do about the plane, and they dare not inquire everywhere. The less people in the army know, the better.

During the days when the airport was established, there were also young intellectuals from all over the North China provinces who came to join the army. Qiao Anbang selected more than 500 qualified people from them and prepared to train them into the first batch of pilots of the National Salvation Army.

Qiao Anbang was patrolling the airport with Yali and others, and suddenly a tricycle with a blue sky and white sun flag flying from outside the airport was driven.

Seeing the soldiers on the motorcycle look hurried, the guards guarding at the entrance of the airport immediately let go. The person driving the tricycle was nothing but Jiang Jun, the deputy commander of the guard regiment. The person sitting in the bucket was a hunched officer with a dirty face. This person was Wang Baoshan, deputy deputy of the lieutenant colonel of the Chu Jingming Security Regiment.

The tricycle crossed the checkpoint and rushed inward along the airport road.

After inspecting hundreds of various fighter jets parked on the apron, Qiao Anbang and others were planning to give lectures to the pilots when they heard the roar from the motorcycle engine.

Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw a tricycle racing towards this side in the distance.

Liang Jiahan, who had been following Qiao Anbang, subconsciously stepped forward, and his fair jade hand quietly touched the gun around his waist, observing the motorcycle that was gradually approaching with a vigilant look.

At this time, Liang Jiahan had already changed into a brand new military uniform. The originally ordinary military uniform immediately became extraordinary when worn on her. Her perky buttocks and her proudly towering breasts were about to stretch out the military uniform. Such an infuriating figure made people feel distracted.

Soon, Bian Sanlun rushed to Qiao Anbang from a distance. Before Jiang Jun could stop the car, Wang Baoshan, who was sitting in the side of the fight, jumped down excitedly and almost fell to the ground.

Qiao Anbang recognized Wang Baoshan, and a trace of ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart. He immediately supported Wang Baoshan and asked with concern: "Deputy Commander Wang, what's wrong? What happened? Didn't you follow my elder brother to fight against Japan?"

"Brigit Commander Qiao, please send troops to reinforce my security regiment. If it's too late, I'm afraid the regiment and all the brothers will be gone." Wang Baoshan grabbed Qiao Anbang's arms with a crying look. He didn't know that Qiao Anbang had formed a national rescue army now, so he thought Qiao Anbang was the brigade commander of the Huben Brigade.

"What the hell is going on?" Qiao Anbang was shocked and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, tell me what happened."

Wang Baoshan immediately told Qiao Anbang about the experiences of Chu Jingming's troops over the past few months.

It turned out that this was the case. Chu Jingming led his security regiment to the north to fight against Japan. After the troops arrived in Xuzhou, the Fifth War Zone was established. His security regiment was incorporated into the Third Division of the Eighth Army and was affiliated with Li Pinxian's 11th Army.

At the end of the Nanjing Defense War, the Japanese army in North China had already crossed the Yellow River and advanced to the land of Qilu. General Li Zongren, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth War Zone, dispatched troops and generals to fight. The defense of the 11th Army where Chu Jingming was located was the southern section of the Jinpu Road and along the Huai River. Therefore, until the end of the Nanjing Defense War, their regiment did not have any war.

Until more than two months ago, the Japanese Central China dispatched troops crossed the Yangtze River and headed northward, and the 11th Army and the 21st Army and other units entered combat readiness.

At this time, the progress of history was slightly deviated from the original history. First of all, the beginning of the Battle of Xuzhou was more than a month later than the original history.

The more than 100,000 troops withdrawn from the Nanjing battlefield were not used in the Fifth War Zone. Chairman Jiang transferred his most elite 88th Division, 87th Division, 36th Division and other troops into Henan and the First War Zone. Only 304 divisions were left to participate in the Battle of Xuzhou, less than 50,000 people.

The result of Qiao Anbang's original vision was slightly different. From this we can see how unsightly Chairman Jiang's strategic vision was. The war was about to be imminent, and he still wanted to preserve his own direct divisions. If these direct divisions could be used on the battlefield in Xuzhou, he would not dare to say that they could turn the tide and create miracles. At least they could greatly strengthen the available troops in Li Zongren's hands, which would be extremely conducive to his command of this large-scale battle.

As we all know, when a commander formulates strategies and tactics, he often needs to consider the overall situation. In the meantime, the troops, logistics, reserves, etc. of both sides are all very important elements.

If the battle enters a white-hot stalemate stage, even if one more division is added, the balance of victory may be tilted.

However, from Chairman Jiang's standpoint, it was expected that he deliberately preserved his several direct troops. After the Battle of Songhu, Chairman Jiang's elite Central Army suffered two of them. The Battle of Nanjing was really forced to defend. Now these direct troops have finally been preserved. Chairman Jiang's actions in order to preserve his direct troops for him were reasonable.

After all, he is also a human being, and he is also a person in power, so he is naturally selfish.

From Wang Baoshan's narrative, Qiao Anbang learned that the Japanese vanguard troops had captured Hefei, Chuzhou and other places half a month ago, and the troops were directly aimed at the Huai River.

This time, after nearly a month of rest, the Japanese Central China dispatched troops came in full force. In addition to the 18th Division, which suffered a great damage in the Nanjing Defense War, the Guoqi Detachment and the 3rd Division, some direct-level troops of the dispatched troops were responsible for defending the captured land, their main forces exceeded 100,000, all crossed the Yangtze River north and began to march towards the Central Plains.

As the Japanese invaders approached, Chu Jingming's troops stationed in Huaiyuan and several other regiments were deployed in Fengyang County on the south bank of the Huai River. Under the rotation of nearly 10,000 Japanese troops, Chu Jingming's troops and his troops suffered heavy casualties, and the 11th Army Command was forced to abandon the South Bank position.

Since Chu Jingming's troops were not direct descendants and were just local militias, they were ordered by the 11th Army Command to hold the rear. To put it bluntly, they were cannon fodder, which won time for the retreat of other direct descendants of the 11th Army.

Chu Jingming, who could not disobey the military order, led all the officers and soldiers of the regiment to fight bloody battles in Fengyang Gorge north of Fengyang. During the battle, the radio station donated by Qiao Anbang was blown up by Japanese planes and the confidential officer died. In order to avoid the entire army being wiped out, Chu Jingming remembered to ask Qiao Anbang for help.

So the deputy commander Wang Baoshan broke through at night and rode Chu Jingming's fast horse to Zhiheji for help.

Because the war horses were rushing to the ground and died as soon as they arrived at Zhiji, Jiang Jun drove a motorcycle to send Wang Baoshan to the airport in a hurry.

"Brig Commander Qiao, please be sure to save our regiment and all the brothers. Now they have fallen into the Japanese encirclement and are still struggling to persevere. Please send troops to reinforce as soon as possible. I'm afraid it will be too late..." Wang Baoshan said anxiously.

"Don't worry, Deputy Commander Wang, your regiment is my sworn brother. Even if I go up to the mountain and go to the sea of ​​fire, I will definitely save you." Qiao Anbang comforted Wang Baoshan, then turned to Jiang Jun beside him and said, "Jiang Jun, go back first, and immediately notify the commanders of each division, tank and armored brigade and other directly under the command, and immediately gather the troops and prepare to rush to Fengyang."

When Jiang Jun heard that it was about to fight, he was so tired that he had been idle these days. He immediately stood up and responded loudly: "Yes", after saying that, he turned around and turned around and turned around and left quickly.

"General, the new recruits from each division have not been completed yet, so I'm going to the battlefield now. I'm worried that it would be too early?" Xie Jinyuan, who was standing beside him, said with some concern.

Since Qiao Anbang privately adapted the Huben Brigade into the National Salvation Army, it was not authorized by the National Government and Chairman Jiang, so this was irregular and unlawful. Therefore, Xie Jinyuan politely declined Qiao Anbang's request to be the commander of the Second Division. He now stayed in the National Salvation Army as an advisor to assist Qiao Anbang in training new recruits.

"Brother, you have been thinking too much. You can't train real soldiers on the training ground. The battlefield is the best training ground. Only after experiencing the baptism of actual combat can the recruits quickly grow into a qualified veteran, and the combat effectiveness of this army will undergo a qualitative transformation." Qiao Anbang said confidently.

"But... in this way, the losses of the recruits may be very serious," Xie Jinyuan continued frowning.

"There is no immortal in war. As long as the troops can quickly form combat effectiveness, some necessary sacrifices are worth it," Qiao Anbang said calmly.

In fact, he didn't think he would bring the troops that had not been trained for three months to the front line now, but the situation was so urgent that he could no longer help. Even without Chu Jingming being surrounded, the 100,000 Japanese army approached the Huaihe River defense line and the battlefield in the southern section of Xuzhou was in crisis, Qiao Anbang had to stand up and lead his army to join the war.

If the battlefield on the southern front of Xuzhou will be defeated, it will directly affect General Li Zongren's careful deployment on the northern front. In the end, the result of the battle in Xuzhou will only end in failure.

So Qiao Anbang had no choice. In order not to let the Battle of Xuzhou end in failure, and to avoid the disaster of the Huayuankou breaking again, he had no choice but to lead his army to join the war.

"Let's go back to the military camp." Qiao Anbang waved his hand and took the lead in walking towards the car not far away. Xie Jinyuan and others hurriedly followed.

ps: The third update is here, and the brothers' recommendation votes are very powerful. Lao Zuo's chrysanthemum was stabbed by the bayonet of our empire. Thank you for your support, Qiu Feng was very moved and full of motivation.

Yuechu originally wanted to get a thousand full attendance, and updated three or four chapters every day, but since I had no full attendance some time ago, my update has become negative. I am sorry for everyone and my promise at the beginning of the month. After learning from my mistakes, I decided to cheer up again and write diligently every day. Regardless of whether I have full attendance or not, even if I only earn a thousand yuan a month, as long as I have the support and love of my brothers, it is a very happy thing.

If nothing unexpected happens, I will update at least two chapters a day, and at most three or four chapters, which will be updated stably. Thank you for your support and love.:
