The 5th march into northern Jiangxi (2)

Zhang Fei replied loudly: "Yes!" Then the entire helicopter formation was ordered: "Attention the whole team, take off, complete the formation in the air, and then follow me and fly to northern Jiangxi." ”

Zhang Fei's No. 01 helicopter began to take off, first increasing the throttle, and the propeller began to rotate slowly. The dust and dead leaves under the helicopter propeller began to stir again, forming a huge pressure, and then the propeller blades turned faster and faster, and the blades of the aircraft generated a huge wind force to compete with the weight of the helicopter. When a certain amount of strength is reached, the helicopter begins to slowly ascend.

At the same time, there is also a small blade on the tail, which maintains the balance of the helicopter.

Helicopters full of special operators circled in the air and waited for all 12 helicopters to take off. All helicopter throttle one plus, in the upward height, after rising to a height of 4000 meters, only to lower the head, tail pouting, under the leadership of the navigator, lined up in a long snake formation, towards the direction of the east of northern Jiangxi.

The maximum flight speed of the Z-8 helicopter is 315 kilometers per hour, the general flight speed is 266 kilometers per hour, its maximum range is 830 kilometers, and the maximum flight speed is 6,000 meters.

Han Xing told the helicopter to keep flying at an altitude of 4,000 meters, and the higher it flew, the safer the helicopter was, but the air in the high altitude was thin, and the soldiers were afraid that they would not be able to stand it.

The helicopter's night lights are all on, and they are also red on the left, green on the right, and white on the tail. The helicopter behind judges its position based on the lights, and if all three lights are seen, it will be about the same. If you really see the green light, it will be to the right side of the plane in front of you, and quickly adjust the direction.

If it flew low, it would be impossible for the Japanese planes to surprise them, because the Japanese fighters did not have the ability to fly at night. But being accidentally injured by the Chinese army is terrible, I really can't figure out which blind one, seeing a light on the head, flying a plane, shooting at you, or hitting a machine gun for a while, hitting the plane by mistake, that is Xiucai encountering soldiers, there is reason to ignore it!

Each helicopter is equipped with two 12.7 mm heavy machine guns on both sides of the door for self-defense. Han Xing had already given an order, if anyone dared to fire at the helicopter, then resolutely return fire and kill.

In times of war, there is no reason to talk about it.

Since the guard company was all out of the special operations battalion and had been strictly trained by paratroopers to paratrooper airborne, they were on a relatively stable helicopter, and the soldiers of the guard company did not feel anything particularly uncomfortable.

And Han Xing's mind was spinning rapidly, where should the helicopter fall, and where should the first battle be fought?

At this time, the 32nd Army of the National Army had withdrawn from Gao'an in order to avoid being surrounded and suppressed by the enemy. And Pan Xiaoan had already received news that after Xue Yue learned that Gao'an was lost, he strictly ordered the 32nd Army to recapture the place, and at the same time sent the 74th Army to reinforce it.

Han Xing formed a preliminary battle plan in his mind, whether he would assist the 32nd Army to recapture Gao'an, if Gao'an was withdrawn, a sharp knife would be formed behind the enemy's flank, threatening the safety of the Japanese 106th Division at all times.

Han Xing immediately asked Zhang Fei's communication equipment on the plane to contact the Southern Expeditionary Army Headquarters, and asked the headquarters to try to get in touch with the 32nd Army and assist them in counterattacking Gao'an.

Han Xing had studied the main forces of the Kuomintang in the past, and now he quickly made a movie about the 32nd Army.

The predecessor of the army was the first part of the Jin army. In January 1931, after the Central Plains War, the Shang Zhen Department of the 1st Army of the Jin Army accepted the reorganization of Zhang Xueliang, and reorganized the Northeast Army into the 32nd Army according to the order of the Central Army, with Shang Zhen as the commander. Subordinate: 66th Division, Yang Xiaoou as division commander; In the 67th Division, Feng Pengzhuo served as the division commander.

In July 1937, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the army was subordinate to the 20th Group Army and participated in the anti-Japanese war along the northern section of the Pinghan Road and the defense of the Yellow River. In October 1938, Shang Zhen was promoted to commander-in-chief and commander of the 20th Group Army, and Li Jingrong served as deputy commander, under the jurisdiction of: 139th Division, Li Zhaoying served as division commander; the 141st Division, Tang Yongliang served as the division commander; The 142nd Division, Fu Liping served as the division commander.

In May of the same year, the army participated in the operation in the border area of Henan, Lu and Anhui, and served as the river defense task between the ancestral grain village and the iron bridge of the Yellow River. In June, he participated in the Battle of Wuhan and served as the garrison of Dongxiang, Jinxian, Liangjiadu, Wuxi City, and Qiao City in the northern Jiangxi region.

In March 1939, the army participated in the Battle of Nanchang and assumed the task of garrisoning Nanchang. After the loss of Nanchang, the 142nd Division was ordered to be transferred to northern Anhui and transferred to the 92nd Army. At this point, the army was under the jurisdiction of the 139th and 141st divisions. In September of the same year, he participated in the first Battle of Changsha.

The 32nd Army couldn't help but mention the commander Shang Zhen, and Han Xing had a movie about Shang Zhen again.

Shang Zhen was born on September 21, 1888, his ancestral home is Shaoxing, Zhejiang. Born in Baoding, Hebei Province, he joined the China League in his early years.

In 1909, he returned to Changchun under the instructions of the League, and under the cover of teaching, he engaged in revolutionary propaganda work (mainly for the "horse thief" revolution in the green forest). After his identity was exposed, he fled to Jinzhou, Liaoning.

At the beginning of 1911, Shang Zhen graduated from the camp school of a certain unit of the New Army stationed in Jinzhou with excellent results. Immediately, he was escorted to the army lecture hall of the three eastern provinces of Shenyang, and was assigned to the front team of the cadet battalion with Peng Jiazhen (a revolutionary) as an officer. Through Peng Jiazhen, Shang Zhen met Zhang Shaozeng, the commander of the twentieth town of the New Army and one of the leaders of the Northeast Alliance, and participated in the "Martial Arts Research Association" founded by Feng Yuxiang and Shi Congyun.

After the Wuchang Uprising, Shang Zhen returned to Liaoyang, the land of his old travel, to launch an uprising.

At the beginning of 1912, Shang Zhen was publicly elected as the "Commander-in-Chief of the People's Army outside the Guan", and led more than 300 people to land in Yantai. Soon, the North and the South reached an agreement, Yuan Shikai was appointed as the provisional president, and the 24-year-old Shang Zhen was awarded the fictitious post of "senior adviser" to the Ministry of War and was "idle" in Beiping.

In 1913, after the failure of the "Second Revolution", Shang Zhen was convicted of his participation and was detained by the "Gyeonggi Military and Political Law Enforcement Department" and became a prisoner of Lu Jianzhang. Although Shang Zhen was only 25 years old at this time, he had already experienced eight years of ups and downs, mature, capable, brave and strategic. And because of this, it attracted the attention of law enforcement officer Lu Jianzhang. After Feng Yuxiang and others tried to ensure their freedom, Shang Zhen, who was eager to find a way out, switched to Lu Jianzhang.

In 1915, Shang Zhen served as the battalion commander and went to Shaanxi with the land department to participate in the suppression of the "Bailang Uprising", and was later promoted to regiment commander. Lu entered Shaanxi, Bai Lang was expelled, and Lu Jianzhang took Shaanxi as his own governor. At the end of the year, the country raised troops to fight against Yuan, Hu Jingyi and others brewed an uprising.

At the beginning of 1916, he succeeded in supporting Chen Shufan as the governor of Shaanxi and expelling Lu Jianzhang. At the time of the Shang earthquake, Suide, which was stationed across the river from Shanxi, was unable to gain a foothold in Shaanxi, so he led most of the people of the regiment to cross the Yellow River and take refuge in Shanxi.

When Shang Zhen arrived in Shanxi, it was at a time when Yuan Shikai's imperial system caused a nationwide anti-Yuan storm, and Yan Xishan was expected to get rid of the fetters and regain his strength, so Shang Zhen was welcomed and courteous. Originally, the formation of one regiment remained unchanged, and Shang Zhen was still the head of the regiment, and Yang Aiyuan's battalion was added to it, thinking that it was substantial, and of course there was also an element of surveillance.

Shang Zhen also lived up to Yan Xishan's high expectations and made extraordinary moves. Coincidentally, in July 1917, there was a sensational restoration of Zhang Xun. In June, after Yuan Shikai's death, Yan Xishan weighed the pros and cons and chose to support Duan Qirui's position. On July 1, the Restoration Scandal was staged.

On July 3, Duan Qirui swore to "rebel" in the horse factory. On July 5, Yan Xishan immediately sent Shang Zhen to lead his troops from Shijiazhuang to the north to participate in the "rebellion" military. As soon as Shang Zhenbu entered the Jin army, he sent troops, and the discerning people understood at a glance that Yan Xishan intended to test, "It is a mule or a horse, pull it out for a walk."

Shang Zhen undoubtedly knew this better, so he didn't dare to have the slightest ambiguity, and after receiving the order, he set off in full gear and went all the way north. Under the joint efforts of all armies, Zhang Xun was defeated and retreated. On July 8, Zhang Xun's troops were defeated on the outskirts of the capital, and Zhang Xun stuck to the city gate.

On July 12, the rebel army ordered a general attack. Shang Zhen was appointed as the commander of the fifth column of the West Road of the rebel army, and was ordered to cooperate in the siege of the city. After the general attack was launched, the armies of all routes entered the city one after another, and took advantage of the victory to clear the strongholds. However, there was still stubborn resistance from the restoration army in Tiananmen Square and other places, and the artillery fire was very fierce.

After Shang Zhen arrived, he hurriedly dispatched mountain artillery to attack. Under the blazing artillery fire, the remnants of Zhang Xun had to disarm and surrender, and the rebel army won the final victory. Shang Zhen also handed in a satisfactory answer to Yan Xishan.

After completing the task of rebellion, Shang Zhen led the department to return to the province. In August, after Yan Xishan recovered the military power of the side, he carried out the first expansion of the army, merging and expanding the original 12th Mixed Brigade and the garrison reorganized from the Shanxi Patrol Battalion into four mixed brigades, each with two infantry regiments and one artillery battalion. Shang Zhen won Yan Xishan's appreciation with his own strength and was promoted to the commander of the First Mixed Brigade.

In September 1917, Liu Jianfan, the envoy of Lingling Town, Hunan Province, declared independence, united with the Gui army, and overthrew Fu Liangzuo (Hunan Governor). Duan Qirui telegraphed to Yan Xishan and ordered him to send troops to Hunan to aid Fu in the war.

After receiving the telegram, Yan Xishan ordered Shang Zhen to lead two regiments of the First Mixed Brigade, plus an artillery battalion of Zhou Jue, and then set out and sent troops to Hunan. Just as Shang Zhen was fighting bravely in front of the lake and living up to his expectations, Wang Ruxian and Fan Guozhang issued a telegram in Changsha, advocating an armistice and withdrawing troops, and Fu Liangzuo fled. The Shang Zhen Department is isolated in Yongfeng, and the situation is critical. Under the circumstance that the overall situation was unclear, Shang Zhen led his troops to withdraw from the battle, passed through Xiangxiang, and after retreating into Xiangtan County, they were surrounded and disarmed by the Hunan army.

When Shang Zhen set out, he promised Yan Xishan that he would return to the camp victoriously, but he unexpectedly ended up with a "bold general in the southern expedition, and he surrendered his gun without a receipt", and he felt that he "had no shame to see the Jiangdong fathers"; In addition, Wang Zhanyuan, the overseer of Hubei, intended to recruit, which made Shang Zhen undecided. It turned out that after disarming in Xiangtan, officers at all levels below Shang Zhen were dismissed from Wugang and detained in the YMCA. Fortunately, Shang Zhen was fluent in English, and with the help of a Western priest, he fled to Hankou and began to contain the old department.

After Yan Xishan learned of this news, he sent his adjutant Li Demao to Hankou day and night, where he met Shang Zhen and persuaded him politely. Inspired by Yan Xishan's sincerity, Shang Zhen resolutely eliminated distracting thoughts and returned to Taiyuan.

When Shang Zhen saw Yan Xishan, his face was ashamed, and he took the initiative to ask for guilt. Yan Xishan said silently: "Victory and defeat are the norm of soldiers", tried his best to comfort, and set up a special banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust.

Shang Zhen felt the grace of Yan Xishan's acquaintance and decided to serve in the Jin army with all his heart; Yan Xishan exchanged the price of a mixed brigade for a capable general.
