The father of the sword is Kong Jie

An air battle that attracted attention from all directions has temporarily come to an end.

Both sides seemed to die down.

The seemingly peaceful situation is darkly turbulent, and a new war may break out at any time.

Before that, the Japanese army was like animals licking their wounds, and it probably took a long time to recuperate and re-accumulate the strength to fight against the Eighth Route Army troops.

I don't know.

The devils thought that their planes came and went quickly, and when their flying troops withdrew, the battle was over.

Actually.

The follow-up of the Eighth Route Army's counterattack is still long!
Eighth Route Army Hebei Military Region.

Commander Chen's number one soldier staying behind in the southern Hebei base area - Captain Du Zhi, commander of the first reorganized field detachment, suddenly received an order from Commander Chen.

Commander Du was asked to immediately mobilize his troops, and with the assistance of a mobile artillery unit, launch a surprise attack plan against the Japanese army at Seongnam Airport in HD.

When he received the order, Captain Du was still regretting that he could not go to Licheng to watch the first air-to-air combat of the Eighth Route Army Air Force.

Who would have thought that the commander would then give a surprise!
If the Devil's Chengnan Airport can be brought down, maybe our Southern Hebei Military Region can also form its own aviation unit.

Thinking of the flying troops fighting in the sky, Captain Du felt full of excitement.

Regarding the situation at the Japanese HD Chengnan Airport, Captain Du had a large number of intelligence lines at hand.

After all, the abnormal situation at this airport was discovered by the secret observation post they stayed at the headquarters.

After Captain Du received the order, he immediately organized an enlarged meeting before the war, and began to secretly mobilize troops and collect front-line intelligence.

As soon as the long-wave radio station was turned on, information from all over the world was delivered like snowflakes.

There are several pieces of information that are critical.

One is the news received by the Northern Bureau: The Devil's Beiping Aviation Reserve Warehouse was suddenly opened, and a large amount of materials were transported to the airport, some of which were transported by rail.

The intelligence personnel found out that these items were used for the combat operation of the "Ying" brand, and where the specific materials were transported through the airport and railways has not yet been detected.

The Southern Bureau also reported relevant information: a large amount of aviation supplies have been put into use through the large war preparation warehouses in Wuhan and Nanjing, and the airport transportation is very busy.

The information given by the Yan'an headquarters is: The devils transferred a batch of construction machinery and steel structure accessories from SJZ and Jinan to HD by train. After tracking, they finally found that the destination had already arrived at HD.

The Southern Hebei Military Region has collected information: the HD devil garrison was independently mixed into the first brigade, the HD garrison, the No.12 mixed brigade of the North China Security Force, and the motley traitor armed forces suddenly imposed martial law in the middle of the night on August 8, and began to martial law at the airport in the south of the city , Construction began in the middle of the night.

"It seems that the little devil is planning to expand the airport at night! Perhaps the commander and Lao Kong are right in their judgment. This HD Chengnan Airport is really a little devil. The air battle in Licheng was damaged, and the planes that had to make an emergency landing nearby were temporarily disabled. , The site used for maintenance.”

When the analysis came to this point, Captain Du became more and more excited.

"In this way, there may be a large number of Japanese fighter planes parked at HD Chengnan Airport right now! Haha, comrades, our detachment is going to make a fortune this time!"

After making up his mind, Captain Du immediately ordered the elite mechanized mobile force and the reorganized field detachment to assemble urgently and move in ahead of time.

At this time, a 120mm assault gun company and a 120mm self-propelled mortar company are resting at the junction of the Central Hebei region and the southern Hebei region, and the Iron Triangle battle group numbered 95 formed by the 97 Light War and the 18 Medium War .

This is exactly the reinforcement force that Kong Jie promised Commander Chen.

In addition, there is also a combat group numbered 772 composed of the Combat Engineer Battalion of Commander Xu of the 11 Regiment and the Street Fighting Assault Battalion who are resting nearby, and they can launch coordinated operations at any time.

According to the plan formulated by the command.

These troops will not start until after dark, secretly moving towards HD.

Regarding this reinforcement operation, Ding Wei also put forward his own views.

Ding Wei also explored the conclusions from the experience of the Eighth Route Army's several large-scale interspersed battles and achieved fruitful results.

He believes that according to the original plan of the headquarters, the strong first drives the strong, and now the troops in the Taihang area have driven the friendly forces in the nearby base areas to develop.

But everyone has different guys and troop composition.

If we can make up for their shortcomings, can we create more opportunities?

They created a special mobile group, attacking everywhere, not fixed in one place, completely avoiding the defense zones divided by the devils according to the occupied areas.

The defense line that the little devil spent a lot of effort on was useless in the end.

The combat groups composed of these expatriate technical arms were dispersed one by one. The targets were less wasted and the logistics pressure was less. However, although the sparrows were small, they had all internal organs, and they always played a role in all directions.

This time the Eighth Route Army troops in the Taihang area reinforced the Southern Hebei Military Region and attacked the Japanese HD Chengnan Airport, which can be understood as a tentative operation of this type of mobile group.

the other side.

The devils are also quickly dealing with matters after the air battle in Licheng.

Not long ago, with the escalation of the air battle in Licheng, the HD temporary airport started to take off and land in formations of fighter jets and bombers one after another, very frequently.

Especially in the afternoon, the entire airport is full of planes waiting for maintenance.

The Japanese officers who were in charge of guarding the HD airport were all stunned.

Never before has the Empire's air force seen so many fighters traumatized in such a short period of time.

There are quite a few fighter planes that made a hasty forced landing, even with tail flames, and they looked like they were about to crash.

From this, one can imagine how fierce the confrontation between the imperial flying troops and the Eighth Route Army was in the area above Licheng.

In the air attack on Licheng, the Japanese army mobilized North China, Central China, East China and even the naval air force to participate. Loss.

But the little devil has always been that pee, and he likes dead ducks with a hard mouth.

Fleeing after losing a battle can be described as a strategic transfer.

Not to mention the air battle with Licheng that everyone is looking forward to this time!

In foreign reports and propaganda, the Japanese army said that they were in high spirits:

"The strategic purpose of the Empire of Japan's air raid on Licheng has been successfully achieved. It has successfully destroyed the Eighth Route Army troops and various defenses and anti-air fortifications built by the Eighth Route Army in Licheng. The arrogant attempt to hold a military parade in Licheng..."

After all, it is not a loss!

Right now, the Japanese army is rushing to deal with these fighter planes that were severely damaged in the air battle in Licheng and are in urgent need of repair.

This HD Chengnan Airport, as a temporary transit and maintenance airport, had already undergone an expansion by the Japanese army, which could accommodate many additional aircraft.

However, the Japanese army still did not expect the air battle in Licheng to be so tragic. The number of fighter planes forced to land nearby due to the damage to the empire was far more than expected.

So much so that the originally spacious Chengnan Airport was not enough.

In desperation, the Japanese army had no choice but to mobilize troops, including the puppet army, as well as the labor force drawn from everywhere, to expand and repair the airport overnight.

Engineers from the First Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army and employees from the HD Branch of the Japanese Army North China Co., Ltd. also rushed to participate in the construction and completed the main work. The runway was built with asphalt, and other facilities were all steel structures. As soon as they arrived at the site, they were assembled immediately. , ready to use right away.

Such as tower, long-wave station, communication station, etc., with these ready-made steel structures, they can be built quickly.

In this way, the Japanese army built five asphalt runways of more than 1000 meters in one go at an alarming speed in a very short period of time.

In order to ensure the safety of the expanded Seongnam Airport, the Japanese security forces extended an additional nearly five kilometers.

When the news collected from the front line was delivered to the headquarters of the Southern Hebei Military Region, Captain Du was dumbfounded.

The simplest soil airport in my impression is not so fast, right?
This is an airport that can accommodate large long-range bombers to take off and land. This was completed almost overnight?

Captain Du was shocked and couldn't help cursing a few words, "This little son of a bitch really has some amazing tricks!"

At this time, the head of a martial arts corps who happened to be doing business with the No. 12 mixed brigade of the North China Security Army near HD found relevant news.

After he found out the relevant information from the devil, he immediately passed the information to the Jinan Military Region.

In the intelligence report, he said: "Chengnan Airport was built by the puppet army and workers forced by the Japanese army to build the foundation. Later, professional Japanese engineers took over. All mechanized operations were carried out, and new asphalt was used, which greatly shortened the runway operation time.

Therefore, the Japanese army completed the expansion of Chengnan Airport in a very short period of time. "

This is also the epitome of the development of Japanese military industry.

After hearing the news, Captain Du made up his mind even more. No matter how good your industrial level is, you kid, or how fast the airport is expanding, I will still beat you down, so that all your efforts will be in vain.

However, it is said that it is the first independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army who is responsible for the construction and defense of the Chengnan Airport at this time.

The head of the Suzuki Brigade, who was independently mixed into the First Brigade, was a leader of the Okamura faction.

This time Okamura was defeated, the old devil Suzuki knew that he was going to be transferred away, so he desperately searched for the people in the HD area, squeezed passing caravans, imposed heavy taxes on industry and commerce, and engaged in secret agent rule to arrest progressives wantonly , confiscated their property, and spread the plague everywhere, the plague.

They also broke dikes, massacred villages, destroyed base areas for disaster relief, and drove refugees to the Eighth Route Army base area in southern Hebei.

They also forced farmers in the occupied areas to grow opium and engage in the opium business.

Anyway, it is full of five poisons!
The Southern Hebei Military Region has long wanted to kill this poisonous snake and eliminate the harm for the common people.

This is because this little devil has always been very cautious and timid. During the May [-]st sweep, the little devil who was ordered to sweep up was even more shrewd. Whenever there was a turmoil, he immediately retreated and let other field troops go to fight with the Southern Hebei Military Region.

After the sweep was over, they kept their strength and started jumping up and down again, attacking everywhere.

This time, Yuanjia Road is also narrow.

That old devil Suzuki probably didn't expect that he would finally get the task of guarding HD Chengnan Airport after all his hard work in making connections.

Originally, I wanted to make more money in the rear, but it was much more comfortable than fighting to the death with those desperate Eighth Route Army on the front line.

Who would have imagined that the Chengnan Airport would also be targeted by the Eighth Route Army!

This time, this independent mixed first brigade is responsible for stationing and expanding the Chengnan Airport to cover the damaged fighter planes returning from the air battle in Licheng.

The old devil Suzuki divided the troops into three parts.

A part guards the county seat and traffic arteries in the HD area, a part guards the HD city, and a part goes to the airport in the south of the city.

As a result, the troops were greatly dispersed.

After analyzing the scattered situation of the first independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army.

Captain Du immediately decided to encircle the Japanese army on all sides, and drove the Japanese army into the first brigade independently to the north of the city to encircle them.

The covering force transferred materials from HD City and Chengnan Airport.

At this time, good news came. The head of the 385th brigade in the Taihang area happened to lead the troops through the vicinity. After hearing the news, he immediately decided to lead the field troops to assist in the battle.

After a group of people perfected the battle plan.

In the evening, the air transport team of a team was dispatched. Zhang Dabiao and Captain Richard, the transport aircraft liaison officer, rushed to establish the frontline air team headquarters in advance.

According to the plan that Kong Jie made with Commander Chen at the beginning.

In order to better rob supplies from the Japanese army's Nancheng Airport and HD city.

The blatant transportation of troops through the ground may not be easy to carry out under the heavy guard of the Japanese army.

Just go straight to air freight.

Once the HD airport is successfully captured, an airlift will be organized immediately, and the materials will be transported to the Southern Hebei Military Region by transport plane.

to this end.

Zhang Dabiao was officially promoted to the first deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army's tentatively built ground-air integrated command center.

Da Biao didn’t dare to take on this burden at first, but the deputy commander said: “The joint command of the ground and air, the Soviets, the Americans, and even the devils, but will they teach you?

Would you like me to contact Okamura for you, and let you take two bottles of wine and a roast chicken to apprentice and let his assistant officer teach you?

No, we can learn, but if we don't learn, we never will! "

An iron man, Zhang Dabiao didn't refuse when he heard the deputy commander-in-chief say so.

The head of the regiment, Li Yunlong, even caught Zhang Dabiao and cursed: "Damn it, it's not my turn to do this good thing, it's your turn to Zhang Dabiao.

I said, Da Biao, you are addicted to commanding ground-air coordination operations, you have to come back and tell me about it later, our Lao Li still wants to do this job! "

Just like that, Zhang Dabiao happily rushed to the headquarters to take up his post.

On the way, he was still thinking about this ground-air integrated command center.

Listen, what a new word, if you didn't even think about it before, our Eighth Route Army has never had such a command center!
But after thinking about it, he was a little confused again. The deputy chief of staff is me Zhang Dabiao, so who is the chief of staff of this ground-air integrated command center?
After finally arriving at the place, Da Biao raised his eyes and saw the familiar figure in the command center waving calmly.

He looked up and saw Da Biao, and immediately showed a smile all over his face: "Haha, my deputy chief of staff, you are finally here!"

Zhang Dabiao's eyeballs were instantly rounded, "Old, old Shen?"
