The attack on Yuncheng Airport happened too suddenly. Although the Japanese army in Yuncheng had already carried out clearing operations in the surrounding areas, because the Japanese army focused their main energy on dealing with the local rebels and the Shanxi-Sui Army at that time, they relatively relaxed their response.
The attention of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, to say the least, they simply looked down upon the poor combat effectiveness of the Tubal Army.
Moreover, even if the Japanese army was determined to improve public security in this generation, it was powerless at that time. Most of the Japanese 37th Division, the largest Japanese garrison stationed in Yuncheng, had been transferred to Hebei to suppress the guerrilla columns. The only remaining troops on the Yuncheng front line were puppet troops and
The Japanese army was only a squadron in size. If it were not for the airport in Yuncheng, I am afraid that Yeshan would not have a Japanese army in a brigade.
The Japanese army always has only one way to deal with the anti-Japanese armed forces, which is to encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese armed forces with superior force to force the anti-Japanese armed forces to move outward or break out. If the Japanese army has sufficient troops, they will also set up several blockades on the periphery. Now the Japanese soldiers on the remote front line only have
So a dozen scattered around
The squadron with the largest number is a large group of Japanese troops and more than 800 Imperial Army troops stationed in Yuncheng and the airport controlled by Yeshan. Now the airport has been attacked by the Chinese twice in a row. The troops in his hands have been stretched to the point of being stretched.
If self-protection is not enough, how can we talk about quelling chaos?
However, Yeshan still sent troops to pursue Tang Lei and the others for a while. Not to mention the appearance of such a powerful anti-Japanese armed force in their own jurisdiction, which made Yeshan sleepless and uneasy, let's talk about the airport.
If Yeshan didn't have someone to explain such a big thing as being destroyed,
Fa, the eating thing on his neck, it is impossible to say that he is really going to move. The Japanese squadrons and Imperial Army troops stationed on the front line of Yuncheng have received instructions from Yeshan, asking them to launch a new round of suppression in their jurisdictions
, try to compress the living space of the anti-Japanese armed forces on the front line of Yuncheng as much as possible.
But the destruction of the airport is a big deal, and it cannot be concealed. After all, Yuncheng Airport is one of the bridgeheads for the Japanese air force’s air raids on Chongqing. Now it is a bit difficult to rely on Hanzhong Airport alone. For this reason, for Ye Shan’s dereliction of duty,
No
Not only the military headquarters in Taiyuan, but also the Japanese base camp issued severe reprimands. Fortunately, Ye Shan still had some upper-level connections in the base camp, and he also had a brilliant record. In the end, Ye Shan ended up being transferred back to his hometown and retired early.
deal with.
The candidate to replace Ye Shan was a lieutenant colonel who was temporarily transferred from Taiyuan. Accompanying him to Yuncheng was a Japanese engineering brigade. Their main task was to restore the use of Yuncheng Airport as soon as possible. The Japanese army originally planned to start the Yuncheng Airport at the end of March.
A group of fighter planes were mobilized elsewhere to transfer to Yuncheng, but now it seems that this will not be possible in the short term. The current condition of the airport is not suitable for the landing and daily maintenance of fighter planes, so they continue to rebuild the airport to provide a bridgehead for the Japanese aviation forces to continue bombing Chongqing.
Tang Lei, who was recuperating in a small mountain village, did not know about the replacement of the Japanese commander in Yuncheng and the stationing of the engineering brigade. Zhao Zhi, who was far away in Zhangwu County, also did not know. The Japanese army did not know until there were Chinese intelligence agents among the civilians in Yuncheng.
This time the airport was attacked because someone had obtained the airport's floor plan in advance, otherwise those attacks would have
The attackers would not just blow up places like oil depots, weapons depots and hangars. So this time the engineering brigade stationed at the airport did not pass through Yuncheng at all, but went directly over the mountain road dozens of miles away from Yuncheng.
Entering Yuncheng Airport directly from other places, the military special agents lurking in Yuncheng did not know the news at all.
"Mr. Zhao, there is not much food in the city. There are more and more people in Zhangwu County. If we don't find a way to get some food back, I'm afraid some people will go hungry." Early in the morning, Zhang Lan asked Zhao
Zhi was stuck in the barracks in the west of the city. Zhang Lan couldn't see Zhao Zhi for several days. If it had been half an hour later today, Zhao Zhi would have taken people to the airport construction site in Qinglongping again.
Food has always been a problem for Zhang Lan. As the temperature rises, more and more people come to Zhangwu County to request to join the base. The little food he saved earlier is about to be eaten up. The only solution is
It was Zhao Zhi who was responsible for this, so Zhang Lan came to Zhao Zhi early in the morning to find a way. Those outside the city
The people who clamored to fight the Japanese all day long gave Zhao Zhi a huge headache. The few weapons produced by the Kunming base arsenal were not enough for Zhao Zhi to arm so many troops. Especially now, Zhao Zhi simply looked down on those who had just laid down their hoes.
Ordinary people, giving guns to such people is simply a waste of resources.
"Hey, does your Eighth Route Army need people? Do you think it would be better if we arranged for these common people to go to your base area? There are tens of thousands of people. Can't your Eighth Route Army expand its troops?" Looking at Zhang Lan, who was holding the car door,
Zhao Zhi, who was sitting in the jeep, looked playful and cynical.
Yu Dazhi's people have discovered more than once that people with the appearance of the Eighth Route Army are making small moves among the common people. Zhao Zhi's current focus is to complete the construction of Qinglongping Airport and transport the supplies from the Kunming base as soon as possible. As long as the Eighth Route Army's hands are not there yet
When Zhao Zhi reached into his training camp, he just pretended not to see him.
"How can that be done? There is no extra food in the base area." After the Japanese army entered Shanxi, production has been reduced year after year. The little food in the people's homes is only enough for them to maintain their own livelihood. Since the Eighth Route Army left Shaanxi and marched into Shanxi and the Japanese army fought, since
A lot of private donations have been raised
of military rations, but this was still not enough for the main three divisions of the Eighth Route Army. For this reason, Yan'an had to mobilize food from the northern Shaanxi base area to the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, Zhao Zhi said that the tens of thousands of people outside the city should be moved to the base area. Then
It simply cost the base area its life.
Looking at Zhang Lan's annoyed eyes, Zhao Zhi suddenly felt that teasing such a woman was a bit boring, "Don't worry, I will mobilize some of the military rations for you. In 10 days, your confusion will be solved." Zhao Zhi left
Yes, I went to the Qinglongping Airport construction site, but
Zhang Lan was still standing there without moving. What Zhao Zhi just said was a bit ambiguous, but with sharp wit and clever thinking, Zhang Lan heard that there was something in Zhao Zhi's words, but she just couldn't figure out what Zhao Zhi said would be resolved in 10 days.
What can he do about the food problem?
What Zhao Zhi said was not a big lie. The Qinglongping Airport has been basically completed. In addition to the hangars, infrastructure such as oil depots are still under construction. The runways and towers have been completed. The newly arrived large transport aircraft and bombers may need to be built again.
Wait a few days, those P40 fighter jets can land at Qinglongping Airport at any time
After retaking Zhangwu County, Zhao Zhi knew that he would face this problem one day, so he prepared a battle plan to mobilize Jewish legions to move to Suiyuan after Qinglongping Airport was put into use.
If there is no food, then grab it from the Japanese and puppet troops. This is Zhao Zhi's way of dealing with it.
The action time Zhao Zhi gave Tang Lei ends this afternoon. There are 20,000 Jewish soldiers and tens of thousands of soldiers in the military camp, and a large amount of supplies are consumed every day. Even if Zhao Zhi has money, he will not
Maybe you can conjure up so many supplies with bare hands, and it will take time to transport them even if you spend money to sell them.
Not in Wu County. The most scarce thing for Zhao Zhi now is time. He can't afford to wait. "As soon as we arrive at the airport, you will arrange for someone to send a report to Tang Lei and the others to inquire about the progress of the operation." Tang Lei and the others have been gone for 6 days.
Zhao Zhi has not yet contacted Zhangwu County proactively, and Zhao Zhi feels a little worried.
"I know, I'll do it when we get to the airport." Yu Dazhi, who was sitting in the front seat of the jeep, nodded. He was afraid that Tang Lei and the others would not be allowed to send the report casually for fear of being exposed. This was an order given by Zhao Zhi himself, but it suddenly changed again.
Yu Dazhi knew that Zhao Zhi was worried about Tang Lei and the others. To be honest, Tang Lei was only given 40 people to attack Yuncheng Airport. Yu Dazhi also felt that the number was a bit small, but what Zhangwu County could do
The total number of mercenaries is
More than 0, the newcomers in the training camp are not yet strong enough to travel long distances, so my husband made the decision because he had no other choice.
"Sir, there is a telegram from Tang Lei. The operation has ended. All the targets set in advance have been blown up. More than half of the team has suffered casualties, with 9 people killed and 12 seriously injured. They asked about the next action plan." Zhao Zhi's
The jeep has just arrived at Qinglongping Airport, stay here
Ye Kong from the village greeted him. The first thing Tang Lei did when he returned to the village was to send a telegram to Zhao Zhi, but Zhao Zhi had already left the county. Luo Lin, who received the telegram, had to forward the telegram to Qinglongping. Ye Kong
I had just received the telegram and saw Zhao Zhi's car arriving.
"Half of the people were killed or injured. It seems that Tang Lei and the others had a narrow escape from death." The mercenaries Tang Lei took away were not all elites, but they were not comparable to ordinary soldiers. As their commander
, Zhao Zhi knew very well how powerful they were and how capable they were of hurting
Half of the people were killed, and I’m afraid the remaining half will also be injured. "I called Tang Lei back, and there was no next step. He asked them to stay put and recover from their injuries first. The ashes of the brothers who died in the battle were to be brought back.
, one less, I skinned him Tang Lei."
"Sir, the message sent by Tang Lei only mentioned the oil depot, hangar, weapons depot and tower, but did not mention the destruction of the airport runway. Do you think you should check with him about the destruction of the target?
"Ye Kong lowered his voice deliberately. Ye Kong was educated in a German military academy. He knew that during wartime,
As long as the pilots are given a flat place to land the fighter planes, and as long as the fighter planes can land safely, it doesn't matter whether there are hangars or oil depots. As long as the Japanese have an airport runway, they will store oil in the open air.
It can also ensure that the fighter planes take off, but Tang Lei's message did not mention the runway.
"No, I've already made arrangements for this. Just let Tang Lei and the others recover." Zhao Zhi looked at the dozens of P40s parked on the runway of the airport, a cunning look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and an idea flashed in his mind.
