Chapter 127: The Second Day of the War (4)

After a long talk, Sun Xiaolan and Hu Wenkai changed Hu Wenkai's battle plan, using the Jiangsu Brigade and part of the Second Brigade stationed in Zhenjiang to set out from Pukou and pass through Chuzhou and then directly penetrate Hefei, the Third Brigade set out from Xuzhou and went directly to Bengbu through Suxian, the Jiangsu Brigade was used to clear the direction of Hefei and Anqing, and the Third Brigade used heavy equipment to clear northern Anhui (Bengbu, Fuyang, Huainan, and Huaibei).

The most important thing was to paralyze the command system of Anhui and Anhui, and Sun Xiaolan used an aircraft to tow a glider to send troops to launch a surprise attack outside Bengbu. The plan was to use the special forces to infiltrate Bengbu in advance and pick up two companies of mortars and heavy machine guns that arrived at the Bengbu railway station in trailers. The key is to get the time right, the freight train arrives at Bengbu station at four o'clock in the afternoon, and the gliders and paratroopers must assemble outside Bengbu before four o'clock.

The wooden gliding mechanism makes this particularly inexpensive, one-time use, and after simple training, the average soldier can be a competent operator. Hu Wenkai made a large number of wooden gliders with 30 people in Xuzhou in preparation for a surprise attack on Mukden, and now they are pushed out of the hangar and attached to the tow rope and tied to the sparrow plane.

After the Xuzhou Railway Station reported by telephone that the two carriages had been hung on the freight train, Sun Xiaolan boarded the first transport plane with a communications staff officer carrying an umbrella bag and ordered to take off, and the transport plane took off after accelerating on the runway, and the glider followed the transport plane like a tail to Bengbu.

The soldier sitting on the glider sits with his hands on his knees bent and sits in accordance with the operating specifications on the glider. All the soldiers were riding on the glider for the first time, and looking out of the fuselage window were the wheat fields like chessboards, the river was like a belt, and beside the plane were white clouds. The timid closed his eyes and did not dare to look again, and the bold head squeezed to the window and watched greedily.

Although it was late May, the air temperature of the glider was much lower than that on the ground at an altitude of several thousand meters, and it didn't take long to feel cold, and the collar was pulled up and huddled together to keep warm, and the operator operating the glider shouted loudly.

"You sit apart, keep the center of gravity of the plane balanced, and then this will crash."

As soon as the words fell, the glider tilted sharply to the side, so frightened that the soldiers hurriedly sat back in their designated positions. Touching his chest, he prayed in his heart that no moths would come out.

Diao Yuanjun, the leader of the flight team, asked his deputy to inform Sun Xiaolan that he had arrived in the sky above Guzhen and was still 34 kilometers away from Bengbu, and the transport plane was about to untie the tow rope of the glider, and the following was completely operated by the glider itself.

The tow rope hooked on the transport plane was untied, and the glider operator stared closely at the transport plane in front of him, holding the rudder tightly, and muttered: "Everyone has almost arrived at the landing area, keep the landing posture, please pay attention to the landing light in the tailstock, and pull the wrench to release the parachute immediately when the red light is on." ”

The air in the cabin immediately tensed, and one by one they curled their bodies and stopped talking and laughing.

"Pay attention to the fact that I am going to lower the altitude, ten kilometers ahead is the landing zone, pay attention to everyone."

Everyone knows that landing is the most dangerous, the glider does not have any power to rely on air braking, and the speed must be reduced to less than 50 kilometers per hour before landing. The glider operator saw the wheat field outside the nose of the plane and decisively pressed the button, the red light flashed at the tail of the plane, and the two soldiers pulled down the wrench together, and a huge parachute was released, and the glider fell from a height of ten meters as if pulled back by a big hand, and the nose of the plane was raised high. The glider glided through the wheat field for dozens of meters before crashing into the ridge in front of it, breaking its wings and stopping.

"Hurry! Open the hatches, each with his own weapons, the first squad will carry the mortars, the second squad will carry the shells, and the third squad will bring machine guns. The officer in the cabin stood up and instructed the soldiers to carry their weapons.

"Be smart when you go down, don't hit the glider behind, hurry up, be quick with your hands and feet."

Sun Xiaolan saw the red light of the parachute light in the cabin, walked to the cabin door, patted the communication staff officer on the shoulder, and made a gesture to tell the other party that he jumped first, jumped out of the cabin door, and the wind was so strong that it seemed to be able to pierce the eardrum. He opened his arms and imagined he was flying. A parachute was released. I felt my chest tightened, and for a moment I felt like I was being pulled up. After that, the landing speed became extremely slow, fiddling the parachute, controlling the direction and speed to float towards the intended landing, legs stretched forward, and gently sat on the ground.

After packing up the umbrellas, begin to collect the soldiers who have landed. Sun Xiaolan lamented that the quality of the soldiers is really fucking good, and from time to time there are gliders making forced landings behind them, and this side has already begun to assemble. The landing took about 20 minutes, except for a glider that crashed into a tree on the side of the road and broke off in the middle, injuring five soldiers.

Time is life when it is directly airborne outside Bengbu, and the airborne troops were immediately ordered to forcibly advance into Bengbu. As soon as they cleared out a few unsuspecting gatekeepers from outside Bengbu and poured into the city, the freight train had just stopped at Bengbu Station, and a team of heavily armed soldiers from two wagons quickly took control of the railway station with the assistance of the station's special agents. An armoured car pulled out of the carriage and collapsed the wall next to the platform and appeared on the railway station square.

The direction of the railway station in the north of Bengbu and the direction of the east gate are in a mess, a team of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and steel helmets are running for their lives, people on the street are fleeing in all directions, Anhui overseer Zhang Wensheng received a call from the police station saying that the unknown armed force has entered Bengbu City and is rushing to the overseer's house and the provincial government, Zhang Wensheng thought that Gao Shi, the commander of the Fourth Mixed Brigade, read out the moth and entered the city, and it is not right to think about it, and he has not treated the Fourth Mixed Brigade with the full amount of military salaries, so he quickly ordered someone to send a telegram to ask Gao Shiyu.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang at the gate, and through the window, he saw an iron cart knocking down the gate and driving into the courtyard, soldiers wearing steel helmets, colorful clothes, and rifles poured in, and his own guards hurriedly resisted but were suppressed by the machine guns on the iron carts, and the soldiers on the other side threw grenades on the iron carts, and the sound of explosions rang out one after another, and the glass of the room shattered.

Zhang Wensheng turned around and took out a pistol from the drawer and pushed the door out, there was a shouting outside the door, and the staff officers and entourage each found a place they thought was safe to hide.

"Pick up guns and give me to resist, they will be less and our reinforcements will arrive in a while."

The gunfire stopped, and his adjutant opened his mouth and looked at him with a pale face, and the soldiers on the other side had already climbed to the second floor and pointed their guns at him.

Sun Xiaolan set up a radio station to ask Han Xiaojun where the Third Brigade had arrived, and if Han Xiaojun could not arrive on time, he would have to use more than 1,000 infantry to rely on Bengbu City to resist the attack of the Fourth Mixed Brigade. Han Xiaojun still had 40 kilometers to arrive, and Sun Xiaolan ordered that no one in Bengbu City should be allowed to leave, and that a blocking position should be set up relying on the favorable terrain.

Aerial raid on Bengbu Gao Shiyu didn't think about it, how could a traditional military general think that this would happen, Sun Xiaolan immediately sent someone to control the telegraph office after entering Bengbu, what happened in Bengbu City, Gao Shiyu knew from the mouth of the police who escaped from Bengbu after two hours, but he still didn't believe it, it was a fantasy.

However, he still gathered his troops and marched in the direction of Bengbu, and he kept asking his staff officers along the way: "Staff Officer Liu, do you think this is possible?" Thousands of people flew over from the sky to catch Zhang Wensheng. ”

"The brigade commander better be careful, in case it really gets into trouble."

"Thousands of people, I am a mixed brigade of tens of thousands of people who are afraid of him."

It was already dark, and there was an explosion in front of us.

"The artillery battalion immediately set up an artillery position, and the guard battalion quickly stepped forward to support."

Gao Shiyu's expression became serious, and it seemed that the other party came prepared, and set up an ambush on the way to his rescue.

"Brigade commander, the regiment in front has already collapsed, and the opponent's firepower is too fierce to stop." The six gods of the staff are on horseback.

"What firepower?"

"It's all chariots, dozens of chariots, and our regiment didn't block each other for ten minutes before retreating."

Gao Shiyu hurriedly said: "Order the artillery battalion to immediately prepare for covering the shooting." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the shells exploded not far from him, and the shrapnel that flew him off his horse knocked him to the ground. In his remaining consciousness, he saw tanks speeding over, followed by groups of soldiers wearing steel helmets in camouflage uniforms, and the Jiangsu soldiers finally came up with a definite answer.

Han Xiaojun rushed forward with a gun and followed the back of the chariot, but was pulled by the political commissar: "Han Xiaojun, I warn you, if you leave the command headquarters like this and lead the charge privately, I will report to Chief Hu immediately." ”

"Damn, you're fucking verbose, and finally got a chance to have a good time. Alright, okay, I'll go back to Command. Han Xiaojun scolded and followed the political commissar to leave the front line.

Sun Xiaolan learned Hu Wenkai's signature moves, holding the M1911 in his hand and putting on a steel helmet with the muzzle of the gun. He looked around proudly and beckoned the communications staff officer to his side.

"Send a telegram to Chief Hu, our department has conquered Bengbu at 7 o'clock on the 21st, captured Zhang Wensheng, the overseer of Anhui Province, and completely annihilated 8,000 men and horses of the Fourth Mixed Brigade, killing the brigade commander Gao Shiyu."

When Hu Wenkai received the telegram, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, and he was repeating the conversation with Lu Yongxiang with Liang Qichao, Wu Hongxia, and Li Congshan in the office of Tianxing Town. Liang Qichao was very surprised by Lu Yongxiang's change, and Lu Yongxiang also counted how it was possible for contemporary heroes to switch to the concept of re-entering the party in a short period of time.

"The teacher will do this precisely because he is not an ordinary person, and he is counted as a hero."

"Wen Kai, analyze it for me."

"The armed forces that Lu Yongxiang relied on have been completely annihilated by me, and almost all counties in Zhejiang Province have already taken refuge in us, so what capital does he have to negotiate with me. I have already threatened him to disobey me, and I will judge him like I will judge Qi Xieyuan. When the time comes, he will be in prison with nothing, and I will give him a certain position to keep his property. Teacher, do you say he agrees or disagrees? ”

Liang Qichao nodded and said, "Alas! They are all spineless people, and I can see through them. The last Qi Xieyuan, this Lu Yongxiang. ”
