Heroes of the War of Resistance

"Your Excellency, the garrison of Wocheng City sent a telegram earlier. When the garrison officer of Wocheng City learned that the reinforcements had been attacked outside the city, he dispatched more than [-] troops to help. Soon after, we lost contact with Wocheng City. Already!"

"Baga! Why did you go out of the city to rescue? Nakazuo Oda, damn it! Immediately send a telegram to the Mengcheng side, strictly ordering the Mengcheng defenders not to send troops to rescue without the permission of the garrison headquarters. The Chinese army is best at besieging the city and fighting for aid!"

Thinking that Wocheng might be recovered, the garrison commander soon became worried about the safety of Mengcheng.If Mengcheng is also recovered, their situation will become very passive.Thinking of this possibility, he could only issue an order not to rescue without authorization.

Although such an order sounds embarrassing, the garrison troops in each city are currently insufficient.If the city is defended, the Japanese army has a better chance of winning.If you really want to go out and be ambushed, then the garrison is more likely to be ambushed.

At least from the current situation, the Japanese army has basically judged that in order to recover Haozhou City and Wocheng City, the Fifth Theater has mobilized at least one division.It is difficult to gain battlefield advantage unless the troops of a wing are used.

However, if the garrison command wants to assemble the elite of a regiment, it must draw troops from the surrounding cities.In this way, the defensive power of each city will drop rapidly.Once all of them are broken, the situation will only get worse.

After issuing the order, the garrison commander said again: "Send a report to Bengbu Airport and ask it to send a fighter jet team to Wucheng to carry out reconnaissance. If the main force of the Chinese army is found, an air strike will be carried out immediately."

"Hi!"

"Send a report to the Super High School and ask them to deploy elite personnel to immediately investigate the Chinese army that attacked Haozhou and Wocheng. We lost two counties in a row. We don't even know who the enemy commander is. This is a dereliction of duty. ,Understand?"

"Hi!"

After a series of orders were conveyed, the garrison commander discussed with his subordinates again if the control situation deteriorated further.Everything must be one and the same, if you really want to sit back and watch the anti-Japanese troops counterattack and ignore it, then the garrison commander will also be in trouble.

Even if the garrison command is severely understrength right now, but the city that the Japanese army occupied at a high cost is lost, the higher-ups will definitely hold the garrison commander accountable for his negligence.Thinking of this possibility, the garrison commander naturally needs to take it seriously.

When the Japanese army aviation unit stationed in Bengbu sent planes to the battlefield, they only saw the remaining traces of the battle in the ambush battlefield.As for the so-called main force of the Anti-Japanese War, these little devil pilots didn't find much.

Hu Biao and his party, who were rushing to Mengcheng, also saw the little devil fighter plane flying overhead.Seeing these fighter planes, Hu Biao quickly said, "Mengcheng should not be far from Bengbu, right? The little devil is over there and built an airport?"

"Detachment Captain, do you want to get the idea of ​​the little devil's airport?"

"Isn't it possible? If we take this airport away, I believe it will reduce the pressure on the surrounding anti-Japanese troops, right? Without the threat of fighter planes, many troops will have more confidence if they only rely on the army to fight against it?"

It is clear that during this period, the anti-Japanese troops did not have much resistance to Japanese fighter planes.The Japanese fighter planes have also become a nightmare in the hearts of many anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.If it can be destroyed, it can also boost the confidence and morale of the surrounding anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians.

Thinking of this, Hu Biao even quickly sent an urgent coded telegram to Bai Chongxi and Dai Li.As for whether the temporary airport built by the Japanese army in Bengbu can be taken down, Hu Biao thinks that it will not be too difficult to make a good plan!

Looking at the Japanese fighter planes that dropped a few strings of bombs, they finally had no choice but to fly away from the sky above Wocheng.The soldiers and civilians of Wocheng, who had made air defense preparations in advance, also breathed a sigh of relief.Zhao Chengwu, who walked out of the hideout, also ordered to put out the fire and save people.

Thinking of Hu Biao's confession before leaving, Zhao Chengwu sighed more and more for Hu Biao's foresight.Compared with the previous planes flying over the defense zone, this time the troops defending the city had already received the news in advance, and quickly organized the people to covertly prevent air strikes.

Although military and civilian casualties are still unavoidable, the losses this time are very small compared to the wanton massacres of the people and defenders in the city by the little devil fighter planes in the past.Through this air defense, Zhao Chengwu finally learned how to effectively reduce casualties.

Through a cooperative battle, Zhao Chengwu also knew very well that it was indeed his luck to get the opportunity to lead the troops this time.Even if Bai Chongxi knew that the recovery of Wocheng was not the credit of Zhao Chengwu's department.But this credit will still go to Zhao Chengwu.

Regardless of the recovery of only two small counties, it was a feat worthy of publicity for the national army and the national government.With this kind of credit for regaining the lost ground, Zhao Chengwu's development in the army in the future will be improved to a higher level in the future.

With this kind of understanding, Zhao Chengwu also sighed and said: "General Feihu really deserves his reputation! No wonder Chief Bai said that dealing with him will bring a lot of benefits in the future. It seems that in the future, we really need to deal with him well. Just do it!"

Before some things are proven, it will make people feel a little suspicious.Now that he has personally experienced Hu Biao's strength and mystery, Zhao Chengwu has no doubts about Hu Biao's ability and strength, knowing that he is really lucky this time.

Even when cooperating in combat, as long as it is an order issued by Hu Biao, he will confess to his subordinates to strictly implement it.If they had suspected that Hu Biao would deceive people earlier, then after this battle, all the subordinates were convinced of Hu Biao.

Of the three main groups brought in, the remaining one has been sent out of Mengcheng by Zhao Chengwu, ready to take over Mengcheng at any time.Considering that the situation here has basically opened up, Zhao Chengwu also sent a report to Bai Chongxi, hoping that the theater could send more troops over.

By regaining the two counties occupied by the little devils, Zhao Chengwu also saw that the Japanese army's strength in the surrounding counties was insufficient.If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to recover a few more counties, it will be difficult to find this opportunity when the little devil reacts.

Moreover, Zhao Chengwu also knew that as long as a few more counties were recovered, even if the little devils launched a counterattack in the future, they could rely on these recovered counties to stop the Japanese army steadily.Through this kind of blocking, the strength of the Japanese army was continuously consumed.

When receiving the telegram from Zhao Chengwu, Bai Chongxi, who was supervising the battle at the rear, looked at the secret telegram sent by Hu Biao earlier, stared at the map hanging on the wall and said: "General Feihu's courage is really extraordinary. ah!"

"Sir, compared to places like Mengcheng, the little devil has gathered a lot of troops in Bengbu. If we really want to attack the little devil's airport, it might turn into a big battle. With our current strength, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Deal with the little devil's counterattack."

Knowing that Hu Biao planned to raid the airport built by the Japanese army in Bengbu, Bai Chongxi was really surprised.But he also knew that if the Japanese airport could be taken away, the anti-Japanese troops in the surrounding areas would not have to be wary of Japanese air strikes in a short time.

In addition, Bai Chongxi also knows that the Wuhan battlefield is now in a stalemate.But judging from the overall situation on the battlefield, it should be a matter of time before Wuhan falls.No matter how defeated this battle is, it will greatly affect the morale of the resistance.

If a round of recovery offensive can be launched around Xuzhou, it may also be able to reverse some people's skeptical and disappointed attitudes towards the confrontation.Although the risk is not small, once it succeeds, the benefits and political gains will be very considerable.

Thinking of this, Bai Chongxi quickly said: "Send a telegram to Chief Li and ask for his opinion. Personally, I think this is a very good opportunity. We don't have many troops deployed here, but the little devil has more troops than We are less.

Right now, the little devils are advancing layer by layer, trying to encircle and suppress our main force in Wuhan.If we can re-open a new battlefield here and recover the lost land occupied by the Japanese army earlier, what do you think the people will think of us? "

The military officers who are qualified to know the cooperation between Hu Biao and Li and Bai are undoubtedly Li and Bai's confidantes.They are also very clear that the political gains that Bai Chongxi mentioned are also related to the future political status of the Guangxi Clan in the country.

The Anti-Japanese War has been going on until now, and the people are eager for news of victory.Whoever can turn the tide is the hero in the eyes of the people.For today's Guangxi generals, both Li and Bai aspire to have more prestige in the army and the government.

Moreover, Bai Chongxi believes that in view of the current unfavorable situation of the War of Resistance, Lao Jiang should be more eager to win than him.No matter how much Chiang emphasized "trading space for time", in the eyes of many ordinary people, being unable to stop the Japanese army was Chiang's failure.

After listening to Bai Chongxi's words, an officer soon suggested, "Sir, if General Flying Fox can really get rid of the little devil's airport in Bengbu, can we take this opportunity and send some pilots there?"

"In terms of time, I'm afraid it's too late!"

"If it's just to bring the plane back, I don't think it's a big problem. In our army, there are actually quite a few officers who were flight cadets. They all learned to fly planes earlier and are familiar with the performance of Japanese fighter jets."

As several well-known local warlords in the country, the Gui Army also formed its own air force, and even opened an aviation school and purchased aircraft.It's just that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it was difficult for the Guangxi air force to use it.

This time Hu Biao suddenly thought of raiding the Japanese airport in Bengbu, and Hu Biao had a bold idea, that is, to find an opportunity to raid the airport and at the same time drive the Japanese fighter planes parked at the airport back to a safe area behind.

If this can be achieved, Hu Biao may also find an opportunity to negotiate some conditions with Bai Chongxi or Dai Li, and organize an air force directly under his own when necessary.With such a force, it should be able to play a greater role.

As for the construction of the airport, Hu Biao thinks it is not a big problem.The airports these days are different from those of later generations. They only need a flat and firm ground for fighter planes to take off and land.As long as the camouflage is done well, hiding a few fighter planes should not be a big problem.

Even after sending telegrams to Bai Chongxi and Dai Li, Hu Biao ordered the troops stationed at Maling Mountain to build a temporary airport in the mountain.The scale does not need to be too large, as long as the aircraft can take off and land normally, and there is a place to hide the aircraft.

In this way, if Hu Biao fights against the Japanese army in Jiangsu Province in the future, as long as the arrangements are made properly, the air force can also be occasionally deployed to support.At this moment, the area around Maling Mountain is already under the control of Hu Biao's subordinates, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by the Japanese army in a short time.

The reason is simple, Hu Biao never thought of modifying the little devil's fighter.At the moment, air supremacy is basically controlled by the Japanese army.Occasionally seeing a few domestic fighter planes appearing at high altitudes, the little devil would not suspect that these were not their planes.

Correspondingly, as far as Bai Chongxi is concerned, he naturally hopes to have an air force under his command at his disposal.Compared with the time it took for the national government to send pilots over, the time needed to select some experienced pilots from the army was undoubtedly shorter.

After listening to the staff officer's suggestion, Bai Chongxi also nodded approvingly and said: "You will be responsible for this matter. After the list is out, select officers with relatively rich flying experience from them, and report to the headquarters immediately."

"Yes, sir!"

After the same information was sent to Dai Li, although Dai Li was a little moved, he knew that the long-distance water could not quench the near-thirst.In addition, Lao Jiang attaches great importance to the air force, and the air force in the mountain city is the apex of Lao Jiang's heart.

Compared with the cost of training infantry and artillery, the cost of pilot training is undoubtedly more expensive.Sending these pilots to the front line to perform an unreliable mission, Dai Li felt that it was still very risky.

Seeing the successive replies from Bai Chongxi and Dai Li, Hu Biao also sighed: "Whether it is the air force or the infantry, only by conducting actual combat can you become an elite. How can the air force, which is training in the rear, defend the airspace?"

I can understand Dai Li's difficulties, but Hu Biao still doesn't approve of Dai Li's approach.Of course, Dai Li also said in the letter that he did not make this decision, but after asking Lao Jiang for instructions, Lao Jiang did not agree, and only confessed that he must destroy those enemy planes.

In fact, most of the pilots trained by the national government today are fighter planes aided by the Soviet Union.The performance of these fighters still has certain advantages compared with the fighters of the Japanese army.But the air combat experience is far inferior to that of the Japanese army.

It's just that Hu Biao is very clear that as the Japanese army's new fighter jets begin to enter service, the Soviet fighter jets that the national army regards as treasures will soon be eliminated.This also means that it is difficult for the air force trained by the national government to play its due role.

In contrast, the approach of the US military in the later period was different from that of the Soviet army.In addition to assisting fighter planes and trainer planes, the national government also dispatched air force pilots with rich air combat experience to cooperate with the national army's air force to fight against the Japanese army.
