Although Dingzhou is quite far away from Changping, the air battle that took place over Dingzhou was still nervously watched by the top officials of both sides fighting in Changping. The Second Great Wall War of Resistance had been going on for half a month, and the Japanese side dispatched more than 10,000 troops. The first time, there were much more people. However, those with a discerning eye will find that the aviation force, which played a decisive role in the first growing resistance war, has not been dispatched. The reason why Terauchi Juichi remained calm even as he gradually fell into a passive situation. , in the final analysis, they were just waiting for the results of the Dingzhou air raid. Ever since they learned that the Xuebing Army actually had a sizable air force, except for a few reconnaissance planes, the Japanese fighter planes collectively lost their voices. Undoubtedly, it gave the Xuebing Army an opportunity to take advantage of. With its small arms far ahead of its opponents, whether it was Xifengkou, Tiemenguan, or Lijia Village, the Xuebing Army had several large-scale confrontations. The victory was achieved in both countries. At this time, senior Japanese officials such as Juichi Terauchi were eager to use air power to break this situation. However, since the destruction of Chengde Airport, the Japanese army wanted to use air force that could play a decisive role. , can only rely on distant airports, which is problematic. Because of the existence of more than a hundred fighter planes in the Dingzhou base, the Japanese are afraid that such long-distance attacks will outweigh the gains. After all, the number of fighters and bombers equipped for the Japanese aviation force is far greater. There are far more fighter jets, and without enough fighter jets to escort them, who knows if they will be intercepted by the Cadet Army Air Force. In that case, wouldn't it be a waste of money?
The air battle that took place in the southeastern suburbs of Dingzhou lasted only more than an hour. At ten o'clock in the morning, Ouyang Yun first received the results report and learned that he had won the victory and the results were considerable. The excited junior officer immediately convened a meeting. A press conference was held to inform the press about the victory, and then a televised speech was held to award the Dingzhou Base collective first-class merit, the Air Force's collective special merit, and a group of individuals who performed outstandingly in this battle. ,
Around twelve o'clock, Juichi Terauchi also received a war briefing from the Imperial Navy. What was puzzling was that the Japanese actually claimed victory in the "June 14th" air battle and called it a battle. It shot down more than thirty Chinese fighter planes and blew up more than a hundred fighter planes at the airport. In addition, it completely destroyed the air defense force of the Dingzhou base.
Turning our attention to the Changping front line, at about one o'clock that afternoon, in Wangjiawei, a firefight broke out between a brigade of the 20th Division, the vanguard of the First Army of the Japanese North China Front, and the defenders of the Xuebing Army. Both sides suffered casualties. Then, The Japanese army made a strategic retreat and began to wait for the main force to assemble.
The Japanese First Army has three heavy artillery brigades under its jurisdiction, which is what Ouyang Yun is most taboo about. Originally, the Xuebing Army had already ascertained the establishment of part of the Japanese army through Hu Tong. However, with the arrival of Feng Yuanxiu, the establishment of the Japanese army was as follows Xuebingjun was fully aware that Ouyang Yun was now considering how to eradicate the most threatening force of the Japanese army first.
The air power with Tielin Fei as the core is something Ouyang Yun must rely on. He had planned to use it at the critical moment of the decisive battle between the two sides. Therefore, he had always hoped to keep this secret from the Japanese army. As Dingzhou After the air battle ended, he believed that since the Japanese had mastered this information, there was no need to be secretive. At about three o'clock in the afternoon that day, the first fuselage was marked with the cadet army flag. The reconnaissance plane appeared in the northwest suburbs of Changping, followed by five I-16 fighter jets. These five fighter jets came to drive away the Japanese reconnaissance plane. After the Japanese reconnaissance plane was driven away, at around 9 o'clock that night, via Peiping, the reconnaissance plane The self-propelled artillery brigade from Miyun rushed to the eastern suburbs of Changping City.
At around three o'clock in the morning the next day, the lights at the Dingzhou base airport were brightly lit. Under the command of Tielin Fei and Liu Dakai, the air crews were busy refueling the planes and attaching bombs.
The combat mission was transmitted from Wangjiawu in Changping at around nine o'clock last night. After all, Ouyang Yun was still uneasy about facing the front line of Wangjiawu, the main force of the Japanese army, so he held a small pre-war meeting in Changping. After making relevant arrangements, he had dinner. Not eating, he immediately rushed to Wangjiawei. It was in Wangjiawei that he issued a series of orders. First, he transferred the self-propelled artillery brigade directly under the general, and then ordered the air force to prepare to attack the First Army's subordinates tomorrow morning. Three heavy artillery brigades carried out the raid,
Half an hour later, under the command of the ground crew, including the 001 "Hawker" III fighter piloted by Tielin Fei, a total of 109 fighter jets in the base that could fly took off and rushed to Changping.
From the moment the First Army arrived near Changping, the decisive battle between the Xuebing Army and the Japanese Army had already begun. Ouyang Yun could guess without using his brain that what awaited him and the Xuebing Army after dawn would be an unprecedented battle. hard fight,
After issuing a series of orders, Ouyang Yun asked for a dedicated line with Zhang Zizhong through Ren Qiu's landline.
Two divisions of Zhang Zizhong's 57th Army had already left Shanhaiguan and entered Rehe to cooperate with the Jewish Independence Brigade's recovery plan in Puppet Manchuria. However, what frustrated him was that the Japanese army gave up resistance and retreated all the way, leaving most of them behind. All Rehes have been surrendered. So far, the 57th Army has not encountered any real resistance. This unusual move by the Japanese army aroused the suspicion of Commander Zhang Zizhong. He didn’t know what kind of medicine the little devil was selling in his gourd. , because of the fear of being plotted, the 57th Army became timid in its actions.
The encounters of the Jewish Independence Brigade in Jehol were similar to those of the 57th Army. However, when they attacked Chengde, they encountered stubborn resistance from the Japanese army. Because they lacked enough infantry and the tanks they equipped were not suitable for street fighting, after opening up Chengde After the South Gate, the Independent Brigade did not enter the city, but turned to the direction of the Nantianmen of the Great Wall. Stern's idea was very simple. To capture the Nantianmen would create a psychological illusion for the Japanese army to be surrounded. Chahar, who was born in Ji Xingwen, The Anti-Japanese War also included the decisive battle commanded by Ouyang Yun to attract the attention of the Japanese army and share their pressure.
In response to the provocative behavior of the Jews, Juichi Terauchi was not fooled. The Japanese troops stationed at Nantianmen only defended but did not attack. They bullied the independent brigade because they did not have enough infantry, and the chariots they equipped were not conducive to attacking fortresses. They only relied on the strength of about a regiment. , so he resisted the Independent Brigade on the outside of the Great Wall. When Stern saw that his plan failed, he made another plan. Of course, he asked Ouyang Yun for instructions. He turned and continued northward, making the Japanese army confused about his movements. In fact, Taking aim at the tail of Hideki Tojo,
Ouyang Yun communicated with Zhang Zizhong because he wanted to play a big game with him and Qin Dechun. After the victory in the Dingzhou air battle, he concluded that he could gain air supremacy, so he slightly changed his previous purpose of defeating and driving away the Japanese army. Encircle and annihilate the First Army as much as possible,
He went straight to the point and explained what he meant to Zhang Zizhong. After hearing this, the chief did not say anything for a long time. After a while, he said: "Ouyang, are you kidding me?"
It really sounds like a joke. When I think of the scene during the first Great Wall War of Resistance, the national army was driven away, surrounded and annihilated by the little devils. Ouyang Yun's plan sounds a bit like a fairy tale.
Ouyang Yun said: "Brother Zhang, I am serious. If the 29th Army can defeat the Japanese army in Huairou, it can threaten the rear flank of the First Army and cut off its contact with the enemies in Yanqing and Chicheng. In that case, the temple Shouyi will definitely give up the Chahar combat plan and attack the 29th Army instead. The 29th Army plus our troops in Chahar are not enough to compete with the Japanese army. However, with your joining, the result will definitely be It's different. As long as we can take the passes of the Great Wall into our hands, the Japanese army will become a turtle in the urn. I admit that this turtle is a bit big and may even kill me as a fisherman. However, I think it is completely possible to take a big gamble. Once, Brother Zhang, after the victory in the Dingzhou air battle, I thought that the addition of our air force was enough to change the balance of victory in this decisive battle."
Zhang Zizhong pondered again, and then expressed his worries: "According to your analysis, in this battle, we can definitely compete with the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield, but I must remind you that the Japanese are a nation of dogs. , the thing really made it anxious, and the dog's last bite would kill someone. At that time, Ouyang, have you ever thought about whether you would make a wedding dress for others. "
Ouyang Yun is not a military genius. His advantage is actually the unique ability of a time traveler to understand history. Apart from anything else, many of the orders he has issued so far have been proven wrong. The good thing is that he is constantly improving. Continuous learning, continuous growth, and continuous improvement, thus, the current situation has emerged,
He knew that what General Zhang Zizhong said was not alarmist. If the First Army was really surrounded, even if it could get a chance to encircle and annihilate it, then with the nature of the little devil, this bite before death would not kill the Xuebing Army. , can also be maimed, and there are many people in the country who are worried about the Xuebing Army. By that time, it is really difficult to guarantee that they will take the opportunity to get involved. In that case, even if Ouyang Yun can survive the disaster, , then everything he created through hard work will also become the fruit in other people's pockets.
Ouyang Yun smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhang, thank you for the reminder. To be honest, I really didn't expect these twists and turns." After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "But don't you think this is good for North China and our country? Is this an extremely rare opportunity? If we can really inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army, then we can at least maintain the current situation in North China and make Japan's so-called North China Offensive a joke. No matter what, Brother Zhang, I want to bet A handful."
Zhang Zizhong smiled: "Brother, well done. Since you young people dare to gamble, what can I not dare to do? I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman and gamble."
