Bright sword, I have a red police base car

Chapter 209 Transit Base
According to Zhang Shijie's order, the first team to set off was the line troops led by Ye Fan.

The 401st and 402nd companies, the 4th air defense company, and the 4th support and support company were the first to complete the assembly, while the engineering and construction units as an engineering unit were relatively slow.

The task of this force is not only to open the way as the vanguard, but also to select the base after arriving at the target location.

Moreover, this force is also responsible for the preliminary construction work before the arrival of the large force.

However, due to the urgency of the task, Zhang Shijie could only arrange the troops in the fastest time.

Subsequently, the vanguard was assembled in two hours. In order to facilitate the subsequent airport construction work, Zhang Shijie also equipped the vanguard with some engineering equipment such as loaders and road rollers.

After the troops were assembled, the vanguard took another tank platoon and began to advance towards Shandong.

For the Red Police Force, this is the first time that the construction of a transit base has been carried out.

Before the airport and highways are completed, the transportation between the transit base and the Dagushan base will inevitably be very difficult.

But after this mission is over, Zhang Shijie will continue to retain this base to strengthen the Red Police Force's ability to control the Shandong area and achieve firepower radiation to Henan, AH, and Jiangsu.

After all, this base will focus on aerial firepower projection in the later stage, so the initial airport site selection work is very important for the construction of the transit base.

In the future, in addition to the air force, Zhang Shijie will send another 3-4 battalions to garrison this area, as well as a part of the armored force.

After all, compared with Shanxi, the terrain here is flatter and more suitable for armored forces to maneuver.

In the southern Shandong area, the 115th Division also received a notification from the Eighth Route Army headquarters, and immediately assembled a regiment of troops to advance to the Heze area.

"Where is Song Xianggui?! Tell him to gather troops immediately!" After the 343rd Brigade received the order from the division headquarters, the first thing Li TY thought of was Song Xianggui's 13th Regiment.As a unit that has cooperated well with Zhang Shijie, it must be able to get the resources of Zhang Shijie.

Due to the importance of this operation by the Red Police Force, the Eighth Route Army also used the highest level of confidentiality procedures for this operation by Zhang Shijie.

Regarding this operation, apart from YA and the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the only people in the Eighth Route Army who were qualified to know were the 115th Division, 129th Division, and Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade.

Li TY, who is the acting brigade commander of the 343 brigade, is not qualified to know the goal of Zhang Shijie's operation this time.

The order Li TY received was to organize a regiment of more than 2200 people and send it to the Heze area to receive training from the Eighth Route Army's logistics support regiment.

This method is obviously a way for the Eighth Route Army to kill multiple birds with one stone. It can not only give the troops of the Eighth Route Army a reasonable reason to participate in the operations of the Red Police Force in the early stage, but also directly train the 343 brigade.

The training plan is still named 3431 plan according to the previous naming method.

Li TY is looking forward to this training. After all, he has heard about how well-equipped and abundant the firepower of the 3861 Brigade Independent Regiment implementing the 386 plan is.

And as the Lunan base area that has just been developed, it is in need of such an army as the backbone of the base area!

Li Tianyou, who didn't know Zhang Shijie's mission yet, dispatched the 13th regiment happily, and then felt that their 343rd brigade would be like the 386th brigade in the near future.

However, since the Lunan base area has just been established not long ago, the laying of telephone lines has not been in place.

Moreover, in the early stages of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army was in short supply of various equipment and materials. Even if the telephone lines were laid, they could only be set up to a few regiments with important positions, and the newly formed troops of the 13th regiment were not qualified to make telephone calls. Yes, so Li Tianyou's order can only be conveyed by the cavalry communicator at this time.

When the 13th regiment received the order, it was already a day later.

From this comparison, Zhang Shijie can assemble an army of thousands of people in a few hours, while the Eighth Route Army team needs nearly a day to deliver orders.

This shows the combat effectiveness of the Red Police Force and the importance of communication in combat.

But if you compare them horizontally, the Eighth Route Army's execution capabilities are already very strong in this era. After all, they don't have enough communication equipment, not even enough telephone lines.

However, Zhang Shijie's Red Police Force can conduct all wireless communications during combat, and any order issued by Zhang Shijie can be conveyed to every soldier's ears within 10 minutes.

This kind of battlefield communication ability is unmatched by any army in this era.

While Song Xianggui was still gathering troops, the 343 Brigade's supplementary troops for the 13th Regiment were also gathering towards the 13th Regiment.

At this time, the frontline troops of the Red Police Force had already arrived at the predetermined position.

The 20-kilometer journey took less than [-] hours in the case of a fully motorized march by the Red Police Force.

But the next step requires a long-distance journey of nearly 500 kilometers.

After Ye Fan led the troops to the predetermined location, he immediately arranged for the troops to conduct a location survey.All the soldiers in the vanguard were exhausted after nearly 20 hours of exhaustion. However, due to the tight schedule and heavy tasks, all the Red Police soldiers did not have any objections, and immediately started the location survey.

What they have to do is to complete the location survey before the follow-up troops arrive, and to carry out the preliminary construction work as much as possible.

And because the vanguard also had two brigades of engineering construction militias, the speed of the infrastructure madman began to exert its power in the Shandong area in 1939.

Compared with the engineering construction militia of the Red Police Force, the American miracle is simply weak!

The vanguard took one day to finally determine the location suitable for the establishment of the transfer base, and Ye Fan immediately ordered the radio troops to send a telegram to the Dagushan base.

While receiving the news from the leading troops, Dagushan's telecommunications detection unit also accurately positioned the location Ye Fan selected according to the radio transmission situation.

After Zhang Shijie got the news, he strengthened the follow-up troops going to the transit base according to the actual situation.

On the basis of the original troops, an engineering construction detachment and a double 37mm anti-aircraft artillery company were added again.

Then, Wang Yu, the deputy head of the regiment, led the Second Battalion and the rest of the troops to the Shandong transit base of the Red Police Force. At the same time, the troops led by Wang Yu also carried a large amount of supply oil and power generation devices.

Under the extremely efficient execution of the Red Police Force, the follow-up troops originally scheduled to depart on the 23rd arrived at the target area at noon on the 22nd to begin their mission.

The efficiency of the Red Police Force is not only in the assembly and speed of the troops.

After the arrival of all the troops, the Red Police fighters completed the three links and one leveling of the site and the construction of the airstrip in only two days.

Although the current quality is very crude compared to the airport in the Dagushan base area, it can already take off and land the J-[-] and Qiang-[-] currently equipped by the Red Police Force.

However, the current project quality still has not reached Zhang Shijie's command standard.

The demand standard set by Zhang Shijie is to be able to take off and land such a large transport aircraft!But now this airstrip cannot even take off and land mosquito bombers safely, which requires the soldiers of the Red Police Force to continue to reinforce the runway at home.

Fortunately, the militia troops carried enough perforated steel plates. The construction of the airstrip is expected to be officially completed in 2 days, and then it can be put into use.

At this time, the 13th regiment of the Eighth Route Army had just arrived
Ye Fan looked at the troops of the Eighth Route Army who arrived late, and couldn't help but said to Wang Yu: "Old Wang, let's talk about it later, and give the Eighth Route Army some transportation resources."

Wang Yu heard the words: "The chief has long wanted to give it, but now how many people can drive the car you give to the Eighth Route Army? Who can provide them with fuel guarantee?"

Hearing Wang Yu's words, Ye Fan didn't say anything else. He was in logistics and was very clear about the current support capabilities of the Eighth Route Army.

"Comrade, you are the troops of the Eighth Route Army Logistics Support Regiment, right? I am Song Xianggui, commander of the 343th Regiment of the 13rd Brigade of the Eighth Route Army!" Song Xianggui led the team to greet Ye Fan and Wang Yu first.

"Deputy Commander of the Eighth Route Army Logistics Support Regiment, Wang Yu."

"Deputy head of the logistics support regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Ye Fan."

The three shook hands respectively and made brief self-introductions. Afterwards, Song Xianggui asked the two of them, "Comrade, we have been ordered to accept the training task. How should we arrange it next?"

For this regiment of the Eighth Route Army, apart from involving the Eighth Route Army, Zhang Shijie's most important task when they came here was to assist the Red Police Force in the construction of the airport and the security of the base after the Red Police Force was dispatched.

Therefore, Wang Yu said to Song Xianggui: "Commander Song, take your troops to get the equipment first, and then take the troops to participate in the construction work."

"Yes! Deputy Commander Wang!" Afterwards, Song Xianggui went down to receive the equipment led by a staff officer.

Although the current scene is very magical, a deputy head gives orders to a head, but anyone who has known the Eighth Route Army logistics support regiment knows that this regiment is not a regiment-level force in the conventional sense.And brigade commander Li TY of the 343rd Brigade repeatedly emphasized that after joining the Red Police Force, all actions will obey the command of the Red Police Force.

In this way, the 13th regiment received the training equipment first, but because there was no time to train the 13th regiment, Ye Fan just finished reorganizing the establishment of the 13th regiment first, and issued light weapons.

After all, they don't know how to use heavy weapons.

With the addition of the 13th regiment, the personnel assembly work of the Shandong transit base of the Red Police Force has officially ended, and the next task is the construction of the airport.

As the transfer base for this mission, the airport is definitely the top priority of the entire transfer base!

The three main models currently equipped by the Red Police Force are the J-51 (P10), Qiang-[-] (Il-[-]) and H-[-] (Mosquito), and the newly improved Yun-eight P gunboat is also participating in additional missions. and improved electronic warfare aircraft.

The Dagushan base is nearly 900 kilometers away from Nanjing. The combat radius of the J-10 and H-[-] is not bad, but the range of the original Il-[-] is only [-] kilometers!

It can be said that if it were not for the improvement of the 2018 world, Ilten would not be able to conduct a one-way attack on this voyage.

There are two main reasons for the lack of range of the original Il-2. One is that Maozi’s engine technology was not very good at that time, and the other is because whether it is Il-10 or Il-[-], these two aircrafts are too heavy!

Due to the needs of performing missions, these two sister attack aircraft have strong armor protection capabilities.

But powerful armor also means an increase in dead weight, and it also means a shortened voyage.

Fortunately, the aircraft equipped by the Red Police Force was not imported from Maozi in the early years, but was re-improved based on the original drawings and the rabbit in 2018.

With the progress of the times, Rabbit further improved the engine for Qiangyi, and also used some composite materials from 85 years ago, which greatly reduced the weight of the Qiangyi attack aircraft.

Therefore, the combat radius of the attack aircraft equipped by the Red Police Force has reached more than 600 kilometers.

As a very important node in ground support operations, the ground support capability of attack aircraft cannot even be replaced by gunship aircraft!

In addition to shortening the action time of the ground forces, the transit airport is also responsible for the take-off and landing tasks of the aviation forces.

At this time, Zhang Shijie, who was in the Dagushan base area, also received a telegram that the construction of the transfer base had begun. With the current construction progress, the entire transfer base could be officially put into use before the 27th.

At the same time, the intelligence units dispatched to Nanjing in the early stage also carried out intelligence work with the assistance of the underground party of the Eighth Route Army.

While the transit base was under construction, a small group of troops was also dispatched to conduct detailed surveys on the road from Heze to Nanjing.

For special operations, the importance of intelligence work is beyond doubt.

This intelligence work not only includes direct intelligence such as the enemy's forces, equipment, and garrisons, but also geographic and route information along the way.

Zhang Shijie didn't play with a one-shot deal. In Zhang Shijie's mind, the retreat of the troops after completing the mission was more important than the offensive mission. It was impossible for Zhang Shijie to bury these Red Police soldiers on the battlefield after completing the mission.

Before the recruitment, these Red Police troops may be just a string of numbers on the base's funds, but after the recruitment is completed, these Red Police soldiers are Zhang Shijie's brothers, heroes who can die generously for this country and nation without hesitation!
Therefore, Zhang Shijie attaches great importance to the retreat of the troops.

The big deal is to deduct all the funds, and earn slowly in the future!
During this period of time, Zhang Shijie invested all the newly added funds every day in the recruitment of pilots and aviation ground staff.

Looking at the map, Zhang Shijie smiled and said to himself thinking about the size of the Red Police force,
"Wang Jingwei, I'm ready, are you ready?"
