Glorious Mission 1937

Just as the transfer of the squadron cannot be concealed from the Japanese army, the large-scale transfer of troops by the Japanese army cannot be concealed.When receiving the news that the Tenth Division of the Japanese Army was going north, Lao Jiang, Yan Laoxi and Chen Feng had different reactions.Lao Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. The Battle of Wuhan was in full swing. He was very worried that the Second Army belonging to the North China Front Army would launch an attack from the Lanfeng area to the First Theater to contain the National Revolutionary Army in Henan.

Now that the Tenth Division had gone north, there were only two Japanese divisions left in Shandong, and it was a bit difficult to hold on to Shandong, and it was even more impossible to attack Henan, so Lao Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

On the contrary, Yan Laoxi from Shanxi gasped when he received the news. The three and a half divisions of the First Army were enough for his old man to drink a pot.Now not only the 32th Division is going north, but even the 33nd Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Handan and the [-]rd Division stationed in Tianjin are also ready to move. If these divisions all devote themselves to the Shanxi battlefield, then he is not stealing Chicken can't eat rice.If the white-eyed wolf took the opportunity to withdraw his hand, then the old man really led the wolf into the house, so Yan Laoxi gasped.

But Chen Feng just shook his head in disdain after receiving the news, and in Chen Feng's original words: "This old devil, Bin Shanyuan, has a good idea. He encircled Wei to save Zhao, and wanted to create another battlefield to force the main force of our army to come back. It was really a good fight. Abacus. But does he really think that my goal is Taiyuan? It's ridiculous!"

Chen Feng did have a reason to be disdainful, and even more powerful.Now he is working overtime at the arsenal in Baotou to catch up with the progress. The monthly production of the T34 tank factory has increased to 150, and the number of tanks delivered to Lu Hanghai has exceeded 700. The weapons and equipment of the two tank divisions are all in order. in place.After several months of training, Chen Feng's armored group finally looked decent. [

As for artillery, Chen Feng's department also developed extremely rapidly, with the help of the batch of precision machine tools Henry sent, and under the research of those Jewish technicians.The Baotou Arsenal can produce the production line of the m101 heavy howitzer by itself, and the speed is not bad.Now, in addition to the production line rewarded by the system, another production line produced by the eighth war zone has also been installed, and it will be put into production soon.

What's more, the firepower of the three artillery divisions in the eighth war zone alone has far surpassed that of the Japanese army. In addition, more than half of the fighters of the North China Front Army have been transferred to the Wuhan station, and the number of remaining aircraft is very limited.More importantly, the current strength of the eighth war zone far exceeded the Japanese army's expectations. Bin Shanyuan thought that the 3 troops on the front line were already all the troops in the eighth war zone.

But only Chen Feng knew it.Now the Eighth Theater can deploy 20 regular troops to join the battle at any time, and as long as he wants to, he can also deploy 20 reserve troops to join the battle.But as far as he knows, the Japanese army's strength in North China is no more than 10 divisions and 3 independent mixed brigades, plus some directly subordinate artillery, cavalry, and chariot troops, the total strength is no more than 38.

And these troops were scattered throughout North China. At least 8 people were restrained by Liu Guodong, Hu Haitao, La Pingfu, and Shi Jianfei's instructors in the east of Hebei; at least 10 people were restrained in the Shanxi battlefield; they were restrained in the Shandong battlefield. 10 people; plus the 4 people in the two divisions held by the Independent Seventh Division in the Beijing-Tianjin area and the defenders of hundreds of counties under the control of the Japanese army.In fact, Bin Shanyuan's available troops are very limited.

This time, the old guy mobilized 4 divisions at once regardless of life and death. This is armed with his head exposed. At that time, there will not be too many troops, and one reorganized division will be enough to make the Japanese army mess up.Besides, as long as Yang Yi and Liu Nijia's actions go smoothly, even if the little devil has 30 troops in Shimen, he won't be able to cause trouble in the Eighth War Zone.

On the night of December 12, at the junction of Fuping and Pingshan.The Fuping Independent Brigade has been assembled, with more than 10 people in the brigade ready to go. After the brigade commander Li Haiping finished the simple pre-war mobilization, he commanded the troops to move south quickly.

The task has been assigned. The task of the independent brigade this time is to cooperate with the airborne troops to take down Shimen, and the most important thing is to hold it there and prevent the Japanese reinforcements from rushing to Shanxi.

They have figured out the situation of the Japanese army near Shimen.Pingshan County, Lingshou County, and Luquan County each stationed a squadron of Japanese troops, and each also had a puppet infantry battalion to cooperate with the Japanese army.And Shimen is now stationed with an infantry brigade of the Japanese army and a group (brigades) of the puppet army, with a total strength of about 4000 people.

However, Li Haiping and others also detected that there are a large number of Japanese military companies stationed in Shimen, and each company has a security team composed of a large number of ronin. This force is not very eye-catching when scattered, but if it is used in a centralized manner, it is quite powerful. Considerable.The total strength is more than a thousand people.In addition, there is a railway troop at Shimen Station, the strength of which is about a squadron, so Shimen's defense force has been significantly weakened by the westward retreat of the No. 20 Division, but there are still five or six thousand defenders.

But Li Haiping also knew.The five or six thousand defenders of the Japanese army seem huge, but God knows how much combat power they actually have.Not to mention the infantry group of the puppet army. It has been established for less than 3 months, and it is okay to fight against the wind. If the Japanese army expects them to defend the city, I am afraid it will not work.In addition, this puppet army has already been infiltrated by the independent brigade. Although it has not penetrated to the top level, the strength of a battalion can still play a huge role at critical times.

Although the security teams of those companies have good individual combat capabilities, they are not regular troops after all. In addition, according to the information collected during this period, it seems that the security teams of those companies are not used to using guns. Guys with samurai swords seem to prefer to use katanas when fighting, and they are not very threatening to the siege troops.

That railway troop was a little troublesome, and the intelligence personnel spoke highly of this troop. It was said that the weapons and equipment of this Devil Squadron were better than ordinary field troops.But their main task is to protect the safety of the railway line, and they generally do not participate in battles.However, Yang Yi learned that the Japanese army had accumulated a large amount of munitions at Shimen Railway Station. He hoped that the Independent Brigade could get the supplies in good condition, but with the existence of this railway troop, this task would not be easy to complete.

Three o'clock in the morning is the time when people's biological clocks are most inclined to rest, and the troops who attacked Shimen set the time for the general attack at this time.I heard that the headquarters will send airborne troops to fight with them tonight, which made everyone's eyes widened, including Li Haiping.

They had also participated in the Battle of Pingjin before, and had also seen Japanese airborne troops.I still remember how frightened they were when they saw those guys falling from the sky for the first time, they all thought they were demon soldiers, and tens of thousands of them were scared away by less than [-] devil paratroopers.Unexpectedly, they also have their own paratroopers now, but they don't know how the paratroopers created by the chief executive compare with the Japanese paratroopers.

In fact, what Li Haiping didn't know was that the airborne troops in the eighth war zone were not a little bit stronger than the half-baked Japanese airborne troops.The airborne troops in the eighth war zone were trained by Chen Feng himself. It is normal to say that Chen Feng cannot guide the cavalry or the navy.But airborne is a compulsory subject for special forces of later generations.Moreover, airborne combat is one of the main methods of special forces combat, and Chen Feng is very familiar with it.The number of airborne troops in the eighth theater is small, only two regiments, which are combined into an airborne brigade.However, unlike ordinary infantry brigades, the airborne brigade has no heavy firepower and logistics establishment, so there are only more than 4000 people in the whole brigade.

But these more than 4000 people were drawn by Chen Feng from more than 30 regular troops in the eighth theater.At the time of the selection of troops, it was Chen Feng himself who was in command. If he was selected, the original unit had to be released, even if it involved special forces, so there were a small number of special forces members in the airborne brigade.

With good instructors, the quality of the team members is strong enough, but one of the most important factors affecting the combat capability of airborne troops is equipment.This equipment allowed Chen Feng to put in great effort.Now whether it is German equipment or American Soviet equipment, in Chen Feng's opinion, they are not very good.If you want to train an airborne force that you are satisfied with, such equipment is not enough.So Chen Feng personally brought a few military experts to design the airborne equipment, from the parachute to the combat uniform to the personal weapons, all of which were handled by Chen Feng single-handedly.

Since Chen Feng himself is an extremely good airborne soldier, he has an extraordinary understanding and knowledge of the airborne combat theories and combat equipment of later generations. The equipment of the air force paratroopers is in order.After half a year of training and several bandit suppression operations, the airborne brigade has initially formed its combat capability.But like this time, the whole brigade was dispatched to attack a heavy city stationed by the Japanese army, which was the first time.

The war hawk roared across the clouds.Over Shimen, the Soviet-made Li-2 transport plane slowly lowered its altitude until it was less than 600 meters from the ground, and umbrella flowers spit out from the huge "belly" of the transport plane.Although the night sky is dark, the white umbrella flowers are still very soft. [

This airborne operation was personally commanded by Qin Wuyang, the brigade commander of the airborne brigade. After more than half a year of training, Qin Wuyang, the former small warlord of the Sichuan Army, has transformed into a qualified officer.And he stood out in all airborne arms, plus he was a major general brigade commander before, so he was soon promoted to the current brigade by the deputy commander of the airborne brigade, the commander of the airborne brigade, the head of the first airborne regiment, and the deputy brigade commander of the airborne brigade. long.

Originally, Chen Feng did not want Qin Wuyang to participate this time.After all, he is a major general and brigade commander, and airborne operations are really going deep into the tiger's den. Once the landing soldiers cannot be assembled in time, he, the major general and brigade commander, is likely to become a spoil of war for the Japanese.

But Qin Wuyang insisted on commanding this battle, the reason he also told Chen Feng, how could Qin Wuyang, as the supreme commander of a new branch of airborne troops, not conduct actual combat.Without participating in actual combat, it is impossible to discover the shortcomings of airborne operations, and it is impossible to improve the combat capabilities of airborne troops.

As for the danger, that's normal. If the earthen pot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die before the battle. There are undead in war. Since the Sino-Japanese war, there are many generals who have died in battle, let alone him. Major General, so he must participate in this battle.If he died in battle, let him be buried with his airborne brothers. In addition, his wife and children who are far away in Xikang will be taken care of by the army.

Seeing that the Sichuan barbarian was determined, no further persuasion would be effective, and what Qin Wuyang said was also reasonable, so Chen Feng agreed to let him personally command the airborne operation.
