Chapter 443 Secret arrival in Chongqing
Chapter 443: Secret arrival in Chongqing
In the 27th year of the Republic of China and 1938 AD, it was destined to be an unusual year for China and the whole world.
Just as the war against the enemy in the third war zone in China was in full swing, in Europe, Germany had already opened his hideous minions...
After Germany annexed Austria, it pointed its finger at Czechoslovakia.
The Czech Republic is located in the heart of Europe, with rich resources and developed industries, and has been coveted by Germany for a long time.
In April 1938, Hitler instructed the Germans to "autonomous" in the Sudeten area of the Czech Republic to "autonomous" the Sudeten area, the most important industrial area of the Czech Republic, to Germany.
With the firm opposition of the Czech government and the support of the Soviet Union, the Czech government decisively suppressed the rebellion of pro-German elements and put 35 well-equipped active divisions and 400,000 reserve troops on guard.
Nazi Germany, which was not yet prepared, had to temporarily retreat and instead put diplomatic pressure on Britain and France, attempting to annex the Czech Republic by diplomatic means.
On September 29, 1938, the heads of Germany, Italy, Britain and France signed the Munich Agreement behind the Czech government and sold the Sudetenland region to Germany.
The Czech government, which has always regarded Britain and France as "protection gods", was forced to accept the Munich Agreement within a limited time of Germany. After Hitler annexed Sudeten, he stepped up the invasion of Czechoslovakia.
On March 15, the German army occupied Prague, the Czech capital. On March 16, Hitler announced that the Czech Republic would be included in the German territory.
After Germany occupied the entire Czech Republic, it mastered the central area of Europe and connected it with Italy to the north and south, greatly improving Germany's momentum and significantly enhancing Germany's military power.
The pace of the world war is getting closer and closer, which will be a huge and rare opportunity for China, which is struggling to fight...
The plane landed secretly at Chongqing Airport and the cabin door opened.
Zheng Yong, a second-level general of the National Revolutionary Army, walked out of the plane slowly.
In order to prevent the island army from intercepting the air after learning that Zheng Yong had returned to Chongqing, Zheng Yong's operation was carried out in secret. Few people in Chongqing knew that the famous anti-Japanese war hero "God of War" Zheng Yong had arrived in Chongqing.
The person who came to the airport in person was He Yingqin, the Chief of Staff of the Military Commission.
After the outbreak of the "Xi'an Incident", Zheng Yong personally directed the 111th Division to threaten He Yingqin and support his wife, forcing He Yingqin to undergo a major change in his attitude towards the "Xi'an Incident". Logically speaking, the relationship between the two was not very harmonious, but He Yingqin, who appeared in front of Zheng Yong at this time, could not see any dissatisfaction.
"Brother Zheng is famous and has been severely damaged by the island army, and is famous all over the country." He Yingqin welcomed Zheng Yong into the car with a smile on his face and ordered the commander to launch it. He said mysteriously.
"Originally, the president was going to greet you in person, but several Russian Russians were coming. The president and Russian Russians were discussing some things. Brother Zheng, do you know if the air strike? An air strike on Taipei?"
Zheng Yong's heart moved and suddenly thought of something: "'Hero Plan'?"
The obvious He Yingqin was stunned for a moment: "How could you know so quickly?"
After the establishment of the Third War Zone, the Chinese army attacked the Japanese invaders head-on. As for the Soviet Union, it was to let the island countries consume all their strength in China and then attack the island countries. Then, aid to China before this was essential.
The brave battle in the third war zone gave the Soviet Union even more confidence.
In order to cooperate with the Chinese army's operations, a plan began to form.
Soviet military advisers received intelligence from the Chinese side. The island army built a large air force base near Taipei and deployed a large number of new aircraft. After negotiations between China and the Soviet Union, they formulated a bold plan and decided to command 12 bombers to carry out raids on the base.
Since the island army's air base is far away from the mainland, the island army has always felt that it is very safe here, and they would never have expected to be attacked.
In order to confuse the enemy and reduce the danger of being discovered, Soviet military advisers decided not to send fighter jets to escort the bomber.
This means that once the action is discovered, the pilots will be in an extremely dangerous situation.
To ensure the successful bombing, China and the Soviet Union took strict confidentiality measures, and even the ground crew at the airport were kept in the dark.
On the day the plan began, the pilots got up early, and they conducted a last inspection of the plane and determined the flight route and the target.
But the weather made them a little worried because Taiwan Island was shrouded in dense clouds that day. However, the Soviet military adviser still decided to act as planned.
Shortly after the takeoff, the pilots saw the gleaming Taiwan Strait. However, the sky above the eastern part of Taiwan Island was covered with dark clouds, with only a few peaks exposed. In order to avoid the clouds, the bomber group had to climb to 5,500 meters. Due to the thin air at high altitude and the lack of oxygen equipment on the plane, the pilot could only rely on his will and body to resist the discomfort caused by lack of oxygen.
Since the ground reference was not found, the pilots could only estimate whether they had reached the attack area by time. Fortunately, when they reached the target, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the crack of the clouds. The bomber group immediately passed through the crack of the clouds and found that the Japanese invaders' airport was below.
The island army did not realize the upcoming catastrophe. They regarded Soviet bombers as their planes, and anti-aircraft guns did not fire at all.
Soviet pilots poured all the bombs onto the Japanese aircraft. The Japanese airport was suddenly shrouded in thick smoke. After completing the mission, all the bombers returned safely. It was found that the attack destroyed a total of 40 Japanese aircraft and three-year aviation fuel reserves, blowing up the Japanese aircraft hangar, and dealing a fatal blow to the Japanese Air Force in Taiwan...
Zheng Yong found some excuses to make a perfunctory excuse, but he was moved in his heart.
The relationship with the Soviet Union is always about cooperation, no matter how to cooperate, no matter how to cooperate...
In fact, no matter what attitude is adopted, countries are all about using each other, and there is no morality or kindness.
When you still have value in use, both sides will be intimate. Once each other is damaged by their own interests, those agreements and alliances will be thrown away without a trace in an instant...
The so-called "alliance" relationship between countries is worthless than a sack.
But this may not be China, nor is it an opportunity that you can take advantage of.
Germany's aid has been cut off, and the United States' aid is still invisible. Then China's neighbor Soviet Union appeared in front of itself at this time.
The car stopped slowly. When Zheng Yong got out of the car, he saw the faces of the officers and soldiers who were greeting and protecting him.
The "God of War" is standing in front of them! This person is full of legendary colors and written with various legendary stories.
"salute!"
With the loud voice of an officer, all the soldiers raised their hands properly...
"Report to the President, Zheng Yong is ordered to come!"
This voice made the chairman stand up from his position. He walked to Zheng Yong, looked at him carefully for a long time, and then gently patted his shoulder.
"Hengyuan, you've lost weight, you've lost weight..."
"I dare not. The president wants to lead the whole country and work hard. That's really hard. Zheng Yong is just doing what a soldier should do. There is nothing to show off!"
Zheng Yong's words made the Chairman smile slightly, and he asked Zheng Yong to sit down.
"You asked you to run to me as soon as you get off the plane. My wife blamed me hard for this yesterday, but there was no way. The war is urgent now. You are my man, so I can only use you to death."
Zheng Yong nodded. He could fully understand the Chairman's current thoughts. The Third War Zone is the top priority. The whole country's attention is now focused. How long can the Third War Zone last, it will affect the hearts of the people across the country...
"Okay, since you have come, I won't say much to you if you are polite." The chairman returned to his seat and sat down: "I have carefully looked at the plan you sent. Do you have to give up this third war zone?"
"Yes, President."
After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Yong said.
"If you want to continue to stick to it, you can hold on for a while, but now the enemy and our forces are changing. Continuing to stick to it will only seriously weaken my vitality. From the perspective of the long-term anti-Japanese war, it is time for the third zone of the active defense zone..."
He glanced at the Chairman quietly, but couldn't see any expression. He seemed to be listening to his report very carefully, and then calmed down and continued.
"Our main divisions suffered heavy casualties in the battles, and a large number of soldiers were killed. It is time to adjust and supplement. President, retreat is not a failure. Moreover, while we retreat, we will continue to persist in Nanjing for a long time..."
"If you want to blame, you can only blame you for your good fight before." A smile suddenly appeared on the chairman's face, and then he smiled and put it away.
"I have discussed your combat plan with the people below. There is a lot of debate and the pressure is also great. Some people even say that you can't see any signs of failure in the third war zone, but now you are asking for a retreat. Those people say that you, Zheng Yong, are you afraid? Do you want to preserve your strength?"
"President!" Zheng Yong stood up with a "wow".
"Zheng Yong only knows loyalty to the country, the president, and strives to kill the enemy. He never thought about preserving his strength. If Zheng Yong's life can be exchanged for victory in the War of Resistance, Zheng Yong would not have hesitated at all!"
"Sit down, sit down." The chairman waved his hand and sighed softly, as if he was thinking about something. After that, his eyes were on Zheng Yong again.
