Chapter 311: The Thought of Throwing X Comes up, and the World Becomes Wider
With the development of science and technology, various weapons and equipment have an increasingly greater impact on war.
In the early days of the full-scale war of resistance, the devils gave a bloody lesson to the major war zones. They used several victories to make the commanders of the preserved fruit realize one thing again:
People are no longer the only decisive factor affecting victory or defeat.
However, in the current battlefield of North China, the situation between the enemy and us has already reversed.
In this battle, the Marine Corps 1st Regiment returned the above concept intact for the thousands of people on the land of China.
With more advanced weapons and well-trained soldiers, the Eighth Route Army solved the entire battle without much effort, and eliminated the 14th Cavalry Regiment and the 71st Tank Regiment, which had a numerical advantage.
Those waves of suicide squads who took medicine did not even have the opportunity to approach the combat mobile company.
After more than an hour of fighting, the 24 Cicada tanks were almost unscathed, and only one had its track blown off due to operational errors.
······
Humans do not share the same joys and sorrows. Looking at the Marine Corps 1, which was summarizing its combat experience, Chen Jieshan said with a worried look on his face:
"From the battle just now, the Eighth Route Army's war potential is definitely far beyond our expectations. Whether it is the existing equipment or the speed of scientific research, it has come ahead of Guosu. I dare not imagine the scene of being an enemy with it."
"Just talking about the armored forces, those soldiers are very skilled in driving, and the coordinated operations of each vehicle crew and infantry are also tacit. It is obvious that they have undergone long-term training."
"The Eighth War Zone borders their territory. Once the other party establishes a mechanized army in the future, what right do we have to fight them?"
"Alas, the chairman is really biased. It is obvious that the terrain of Suiyuan is more suitable for armored warfare, but the 35th Army does not even have a CV33, and advanced tanks like T26 are even more out of reach."
Hearing the analysis and complaints of their own superiors, the three division commanders on the side nodded one after another.
Although the Eighth War Zone and the Eighth Route Army are now friendly forces, they obviously have the idea of recovering the entire Suiyuan area. Once there is a conflict between the two sides, these people will be at the forefront.
When the four senior generals thought of the mobility of the Marine Corps, they felt a chill in their backs. After all, the Japanese had already used their lives to show them the fate of being attacked by Yunlong.
As for the armored forces, Chen Jieshan and others have been resentful for a long time.
According to their combat experience, heavy armored equipment is more suitable for deployment in the north.
After all, the terrain in the south is mainly mountainous and hilly, and it is also necessary to consider the intricate water network and bridges. In this way, tanks over ten tons may not be able to travel unimpeded.
Facts have proved that the four people's ideas are absolutely correct.
Even eighty years later, the two major war zones in the east and south that needed combat were unable to completely replace the 50-ton main battle tanks. The main reason was that they were too heavy.
After thinking for a while, Division Commander Dong said tentatively:
"Instead of waiting for the armored forces to be allocated in Shancheng, it is better to expect our commander to make some deals with the Eighth Route Army."
"The Eighth War Zone asked the Chairman for help first this time, but he sent a telegram to block the retreat of the entire war zone. If it were not for the help of the friendly forces, maybe no one in the 35th Army would be able to escape."
"The days ahead will be difficult."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present understood what the other party meant.
It's just that changing camps requires caution, not to mention that their immediate superiors are still in a coma, and they are not the ones who can make the final decision.
Seeing his colleagues shrinking, Division Commander Dong felt a nameless anger in his heart.
In theory, a general like him who has participated in the Northern Expedition, the Great Wall War of Resistance, the Xinkou Campaign, the Taiyuan Campaign, the Baotou Campaign, the Suixi Campaign, and the Wuyuan Campaign is a sought-after talent in any force.
Is this resume and combat experience weaker than the iron wall of the Holy Land?
But now, he was actually given up by the bald man, and even had to worry about his future livelihood. Such a big gap made this veteran with 17 years of military service very angry.
There is no way, who let our Huangpu River Wolf be a businessman.
To be a shareholder in the joint-stock enterprise of Guosu, qualifications, factions and personal strength are indispensable.
There is no problem with the qualifications of Master Dong, but it is a pity that he is not a graduate of Huangpu and has no relationship with the direct line.
In addition, the Seventh Route and a Half has lost its own territory, and the Thirty-fifth Army, which made its fortune, has also suffered heavy losses. The days to come will definitely be difficult.
Looking at his colleagues pretending to be confused, Master Dong sighed deeply. He first shot a Japanese soldier who was not dead yet, and then said to everyone:
"Surrender to the Communist Party. When the commander wakes up, I will confront him."
"If you surrender now, you may have a chance to return to Suiyuan in the future. After all, we still have a certain mass base in the local area, and we can also contribute to the construction work."
"I am from Shanxi. Even if I can't lead troops to fight, it's not bad to do something practical for my fellow villagers in the province. Since you have concerns, I will be the first to do it."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Jieshan and others felt that the world was wide. After all, if I can't stay here, there will be other places for me.
In fact, they had the above idea a long time ago, but they didn't mention it actively because of their big brother/commander's face. Now that someone is taking the lead, they will naturally follow the tide.
What's more, the political commissar Zhao with thick eyebrows and big eyes has given them many hints with his eyes.
"Okay, let's go together."
"We are here to create a wonderful future for our brothers in the 35th Army. I am sure the commander will understand our thoughts."
······
After dealing with all the Japs, Chen Jieshan and his party immediately returned to the field command post.
"Captain Li, the battlefield has been cleaned up. I'm sorry to cause you any trouble. We killed those Japanese who were still alive. If your superiors pursue the case, please be sure to pass all the blame on me."
"These are a few Zuoguan knives that were just captured on the battlefield. Please accept them."
The friendly army's work style made Li Yunlong directly reveal his iconic big white teeth.
Only dead Japs are good Japs. Strictly speaking, the Thirty-fifth Army is not a systematic unit with the Marine Regiment.
No matter how great his reputation is, he still has no right or ability to restrain friendly forces.
Captain Li first took the spoils with his own hands, and then said enthusiastically:
"Hey, Commander Chen, thank you for your hard work."
"The plane to pick up Commander Fu will be here soon. Please wait a moment. Our cooking team has prepared lunch. Remember to bring the soldiers to eat some braised pork and stew later."
At this moment, the squad leader of the communications squad arrived at the field command post. After entering, the comrade said straight to the point:
"Captain, Captain Wang Hai is calling."
"There is a certain chance that the enemy will dispatch ground aviation. The escort formation will request an immediate landing for safety reasons."
Before the battle officially started, Zentaro Kawasaki and Isamu Yokoyama applied to their generals for air support from a flying squadron. What's more, before his death, the former reported to the headquarters the information that the 1st Marine Regiment had tanks.
Considering Captain Li's ability to attract hatred, Captain Wang Hai decided to set off early to avoid long nights and nightmares.
"good!"
"If you reply now, it means that our group is ready to respond."
"yes!"
Five minutes later, the landing point is scheduled.
Building a temporary field airport is one of the training projects of the Eighth Route Army Airborne Forces. The First Marine Regiment will plan the retreat route and recovery method before each mission.
TG is not a big dog like Maozi. Even if he becomes rich, he will not throw paratroopers around.
The runway prepared for Captain Wang Hai was built by the engineer platoon directly under the regiment headquarters and the 101st Division before the war. Although the current conditions are not comparable to those at Yeongbi Airport, it is more than enough to complete a landing.
The scene before them moved all the officers and soldiers of the 35th Army.
At this stage, Guoju still has a very small number of aircraft. After all, its chairman likes to airdrop military warrants when he has nothing to do. It is precisely because of scarcity that the Air Force cherishes every aircraft.
With the broken ground in front of them, it is absolutely impossible for them to land unless they are about to fall or there is really no other way.
But in order to save their commander, the Eighth Route Army was actually willing to make an emergency landing at considerable risk. This level of attention moved them from the bottom of their hearts.
Seeing a twin-engine fighter jet gradually lowering its altitude and speed, and lowering its landing gear, Chen Jieshan said with emotion:
"The only fighter of the same type that I know about is the P38. It is said that the price of that thing is as high as 140,000 US dollars. I guess the price of the aircraft in front of me will not be cheap either."
"If it is replaced with a Czech light machine gun, it can definitely be equipped with a division of the 35th Army. This does not include the cost of training a pilot."
"Your department is willing to spend such a high price for rescue. I would like to thank you in advance on behalf of my eldest brother."
At this moment, Chen Jieshan felt that changing camps was a very wise choice.
If this matter were to be taken seriously, it is estimated that the bald man would never send a plane to rescue them, let alone send airborne troops to help them deal with the pursuers.
Compared with the Eighth Route Army, those people in the mountain city really have no humanity at all.
After hearing the sentiments of the friendly troops, Li Yunlong's face was full of pride. He waved his hand casually first, and then said to Chen Jieshan beside him:
"Commander Chen, what you said is not auspicious. The person piloting the plane in front of you is the most outstanding ace pilot of our Eighth Route Army Air Force."
"He has a record of shooting down dozens of aircraft. A landing mission at a field airport is not difficult for him at all. How come he feels like he has to sacrifice himself here."
"Bah, bah, bah, it's me who has the crow's mouth and I'm ignorant. Captain Li, don't think too much."
After showing off the strength of his comrades, Commander Li told the correspondent beside him: "Let the soldiers and the medical team be prepared! In case there is an accident."
······
"Attention, all planes, I will carry out the mission alone next."
"Before I come back, the position of the lead aircraft will be taken over by the No. 2 aircraft, and you will continue to hover in the air."
After arranging the work, Captain Wang Hai put down the communicator in his hand and prepared to land.
Because the Republic of China was so large, the First Air Division often had to perform missions across provinces, and landing at field airports had become commonplace.
What's more, he is an ace pilot, so this kind of thing is definitely a piece of cake. After aligning the direction in the air, Captain Wang Hai began to land without hesitation.
"Stab it!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Blenheim's landing gear landed smoothly, and the fighter began to slow down and taxi on the runway. The propellers kicked up a lot of dust, making the venue look a little messy.
Just when it was about to reach the end, the entire plane suddenly experienced an imperceptible turbulence, which made Captain Wang Hai frown slightly.
After the fighter plane stopped, the soldiers of the Marine Corps immediately surrounded it.
After seeing the entire crew come out one after another, everyone, including Li Yunlong, breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Captain Wang Hai first greeted his comrades, and then came to the left side of the landing gear to observe carefully.
"Captain Wang? What happened?"
"Did the fuselage have a problem during the landing just now? Can it take off now?"
"If it doesn't work, think of a new way. The mission can be completed by other means. Your safety is the most important thing."
Hearing the concerned inquiry, Captain Wang Hai waved his hand to signal Li Yunlong not to worry.
Because the field airport was a product of temporary rush work, there are inevitably some potholes on the runway.
Just when landing, the captain controlled the fighter with his excellent skills, but the left landing gear was still slightly damaged.
Fortunately, the Blenheim emptied the bombs before landing and consumed a small amount of fuel, otherwise there might really be a safety accident just now.
"It's okay. This minor injury won't affect takeoff and landing."
"Even if something really happens, we can make an emergency landing when we return to the border area. Don't worry, there is a permanent airport over there with complete facilities. I can definitely get the people there safely."
Although Captain Wang Hai said it lightly, Li Yunlong was still very worried about the other party's safety.
If his request caused any trouble to his comrades, he would definitely live in regret and remorse for the rest of his life.
Fortunately, the current Captain Li is no longer a rough man. After a long period of study, he has become familiar with the principles and basic driving methods of various vehicles.
If Zhao Gang hadn't stopped him, Lao Li might have really had fun with a primary training aircraft.
"How about this? When you are ready to take off, we will tie Blenheim's butt with the landing cable."
"When the time comes, you just push the oil, and I will lead a platoon of soldiers to pull behind. When the piston engine runs to a certain frequency, we will let go, so that the acceleration time of the aircraft on the runway can be shortened as much as possible."
"With less taxiing time, the landing gear can naturally be used longer."
After this, Captain Wang Hai looked at Li Yunlong with a strange look. He never expected that the other party could come up with such a method.
However, the above plan is not nonsense. As long as both parties can communicate in real time, they can really achieve the goal. After all, there are such cases in history.
"That's fine, but you have to prepare more people."
"The power output of a twin-engine fighter is not small, and a platoon of soldiers is a bit unsafe."
I will continue to write and try to post two chapters at 23.59 tomorrow
