Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 497: Predicting things like a god!

"A surprise attack on Dagu Town Airport?"

Zhang Dabiao's face changed, and he asked hurriedly with some disbelief:

"Commander, how did the Japanese attack the airport? With just a few dozen planes?"

Li Yunlong said with a stern expression.

"If I'm not wrong."

"These are the Japanese transport planes, and the transport planes are loaded with Japanese paratroopers."

"The Japanese plan to use airborne troops to launch a surprise attack on the Dagu Town Airport."

"Then use the airport to transport troops to Ping'an County, capture our Ping'an County, and seize and rob our logistics warehouse."

Because Li Yunlong had read theoretical books on airplanes and airborne troops, he quickly guessed the Japanese's strategic intentions.

"Our airport defense is impregnable. The Japanese don't have heavy weapons, so what can they use to attack?" Zhang Dabiao didn't believe that the Japanese could capture the airport. After all, the defense of Dagu Town Airport was second only to the three defense groups and Ping'an County. It had bunkers and small air defense towers, 40mm anti-aircraft guns and 20mm machine guns, which could shoot down both planes and infantry.

With the combat effectiveness of the Japanese, it would be difficult to defeat them even if they sent out an infantry regiment.

The 40 Japanese transport planes could carry at most a thousand people.

With only a thousand men and no heavy weapons, attacking the Dagu Town Airport would be tantamount to seeking death.

"What if the Japanese are wearing our Eighth Route Army's clothes?" Li Yunlong said.

"That's possible!" Zhang Dabiao broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this. It was obvious that the Japanese knew from aerial reconnaissance that the defense of Dagu Town Airport was abnormal, so they would not send paratroopers to fight head-on, and they must have made some preparations.

It was the dead of night and the Japanese were wearing the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army. If they managed to sneak into the airport, we would be in big trouble.

Zhang Dabiao said, "Captain, I've been telling you. The Japanese reconnaissance planes frequently fly over northwest Shanxi. It's impossible that they haven't discovered our Daguzhen Airport. They've even bombed Ping'an County several times, but they didn't bomb the airport. There must be something fishy going on here."

Li Yunlong's eyes were sharp as knives, and he immediately ordered: "Damn it, I was wondering why my right eyelid has been twitching these past few days. It seems the Japanese are planning to attack the airport. If we didn't have air defense radar, they might have succeeded."

"Da Biao, call Ping'an County and the airport immediately and issue an order to stop all logistical transportation immediately."

"The Japanese paratroopers are likely to be operating in our uniforms. If they are discovered, they must be eliminated immediately."

"Yes." Zhang Dabiao accepted the order and said, "If you find the Japanese paratroopers, immediately send the tanks to encircle and destroy them."

Then, Zhang Dabiao quickly called Ping'an County and Dagu Town Airport.

As soon as Zhang Dabiao gave the order, the communications staff sent a telegram.

"Commander, Chief of Staff, a telegram came from headquarters: half an hour ago, the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army launched an attack on the New Army."

"Damn it, this Yan Laoxi!"

Although Li Yunlong had anticipated Yan Laoxi's actions, he was still a little angry when Yan Laoxi really started stabbing him in the back.

What I am guarding against is friendly forces.

"Dabiao!"

"Order the independent brigade to take action immediately. This time, I will definitely teach Yan Laoxi a lesson!"

Li Yunlong's expression became serious.

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao looked sharp and immediately drafted a telegram, which Li Yunlong signed and sent to the independent battalion.

……

Luliang Mountains.

At the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment's Independent Battalion, which had been lurking for several days, Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and Political Commissar Luo Yi were awakened by Sun Ming.

After reading the telegram sent by the regiment headquarters, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong's faces suddenly darkened.

The worst happened.

"Just as headquarters expected, Commander Yan is still fighting among his own troops even at this time." "If Commander Yan is willing to send troops to help the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, we will definitely be able to recapture Linfen and Taiyuan."

"It's even possible that this battle could drive the Japanese army out of Shanxi."

The speaker was Fang Ligong, who had once been a die-hard supporter of Yan Xishan of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. But now, looking at what Commander Yan had done, he couldn't help but sigh.

Luo Yi nodded and said, "Yan Laoxi and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army made great contributions to the Battle of Taiyuan."

"After the Battle of Taiyuan, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army suffered heavy losses, so it's understandable that Yan Laoxi was passive in resisting the war."

"But what Yan Laoxi should never have done was stab our anti-Japanese troops in the back while we were fighting the Japanese."

"This move is tantamount to destroying the national united front!"

"This is so heartbreaking!" Chu Yunfei shouted, "Pass on my order. According to the original plan, the independent battalion, the 9th Infantry Battalion, the cavalry battalion, and the tank company will immediately surround Luliang. The mountain artillery battalion and the 105mm artillery battalion will provide cover artillery fire on the enemy positions in Luliang!"

Before the Battle of Northwest Shanxi began, Chu Yunfei secretly moved to the Luliang area according to Li Yunlong's orders.

Although the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had been operating in the Luliang area for many years, its main force was recently transferred away, which gave the main force of the New 1st Regiment an opportunity to infiltrate.

Although Chu Yunfei currently has only about 10,000 troops, his firepower is quite strong. He has heavy artillery and tanks, and his combat effectiveness can easily defeat an army of the National Army.

"Yes!" Speed ​​is of the essence in war, and Fang Ligong quickly went to convey the order.

Looking at Fang Ligong's back and the busy staff, Chu Yunfei stared at the map on the wall.

He knew very well that the reason why Li Yunlong sent Chu Yunfei to Luliang instead of sending anyone else was mainly because he was afraid that others would accidentally kill Yan Laoxi.

There is still some friendship between Chu Yunfei and Yan Laoxi. Chu Yunfei will teach Yan Laoxi a lesson, but will not take his life.

After this incident, the relationship between me, Chu Yunfei, and Yan Laoxi will be completely over!

……

at the same time.

Northwest Shanxi.

An area about 15 kilometers north of the airport in Dagu Town, Ping'an County.

The parachuting Japanese troops quickly assembled through the fire on the top of the mountain, carrying the landed weapons and equipment.

Yoshida Kyoji put away the map and glanced around vigilantly.

"from now on!"

"All paratroopers who don't speak Chinese are not allowed to speak!"

"Target, Dagu Town Airport!"

"set off!"

"Haaagu!"

As Major Yoshida gave the order, the Japanese soldiers lined up in neat rows and marched quickly towards the Dagu Town Airport.

Although there were Eighth Route Army checkpoints on the road, the Japanese reconnaissance planes had already detected the locations of the checkpoints and marked them on the map.

It took the Japanese about three hours to finally arrive near the airport in Dagu Town.

In the second half of the night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Looking at the brightly lit Dagu Town Airport in the distance, Yoshida Kyoji looked at his watch in the faint moonlight. It was already four o'clock in the morning, and it would be dawn in about two hours. They had to capture Dagu Town Airport within an hour.

Once they capture the Dagu Town Airport, at dawn, a transport plane formation will depart from the Peking Airport, carrying an infantry battalion, and land at the Dagu Town Airport in front of them.

Otherwise, when the Eighth Route Army reacted, they would dispatch an artillery unit to blow up the airport runway.

Not only will the airborne plan fail, but this elite paratrooper unit will also be surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.
