Chapter 669: Ambush
I saw this colonel running in front of Wei Lihuang and said loudly: "Report to the commander, Colonel Yue Jingyuan, the commander of the 10th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the ZJ Provincial National Guard Army, has been ordered to lead his troops to assist your unit in recovering Zhongtiao Mountain, please instruct the commander!" β
Wei Lihuang nodded, returned the salute casually and asked, "Captain Yue, have you all arrived?" β
"Nope!" Yue Jingyuan shook his head, "The transport plane we take can only transport two platoons at a time, that is, more than eighty soldiers, so we can only transport forty platoons of troops at a time, and according to the calculation of twenty planes going back and forth twice a day, we can only transport the strength of one regiment a day, so it will take us at least a week to transport all the soldiers and equipment of our garrison division and heavy artillery brigade." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Everyone calculated in their hearts and found that if they were calculated according to what the regiment commander said, this garrison division would have at least 12,000 troops, and they would use planes to transport soldiers, and this time Su Jin could be described as a big deal. However, although Yue Jingyuan and the others knew at a glance that they were well-trained elites, the attention of the generals behind Wei Lihuang was focused on his last sentence just now.
"Head Yue, what did you just say? You even have a heavy artillery brigade? Tian Zongmou on the side immediately interjected and asked.
"yes, what's the problem?" Yue Jingyuan's face was dazed, and he didn't know why this commander was so excited when he heard the name Heavy Artillery Brigade.
In fact, what Yue Jingyuan didn't know was how much impact he had on the hearts of the generals, including Wei Lihuang, when he said the name of the Heavy Artillery Brigade.
The brigade-level establishment looks very inconspicuous and ordinary, after all, the lowest level of these officers present is also a general, and a brigade-level unit should not just be in their eyes, but if this brigade-level unit is artillery, it will be completely different. They know too well what the heavy artillery brigade means, take the Chinese army as an example, although the national army nominally has more than 400 artillery pieces, most of them are 70 mm or 75 mm light mountain artillery and field artillery, and there are less than 90 artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 100 mm, and they have to be distributed among millions of **** across the country. Moreover, it is necessary to have a considerable number of heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 millimeters, and according to this algorithm, it is necessary to concentrate all the heavy artillery of the national army in order to make up a brigade, which shows the embarrassing situation of the national army in terms of heavy firepower.
Seeing Yue Jingyuan's affirmative tone, even Wei Lihuang couldn't bear it anymore, and he hurriedly asked, "Commander Yue, how many artillery pieces does your heavy artillery brigade have?" β
Yue Jingyuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Report to Chief Wei, this rank has really not been carefully counted, but there are hundreds of doors, let alone a hundred doors." β
"Is there any heavy artillery?" Another general asked.
Yue Jingyuan replied without hesitation: "This is naturally there!" β
"Great!" Hearing this, a green light appeared in the eyes of almost all the generals, the task of this counterattack on Zhongtiao Mountain is very heavy, and everyone's hearts are like pressing a big stone, after all, the gap between the weapons and equipment of China and Japan and the quality of soldiers is there, coupled with the rush of time, the generals are not too confident in this counteroffensive, but if there is heavy artillery to support this battle, it will be much easier to fight.
Wei Lihuang glanced at the generals, how did he not know the thoughts of the generals, but this heavy artillery brigade was transported from ZJ thousands of miles away, and it was definitely not here to carry forward the style and be a good person, of course, people should give priority to supporting their own people, and the small abacus in the hearts of those generals under his command may have failed.
In this way, Wei Lihuang watched with mixed feelings as the twenty bombers and some of the fighters restarted their engines and flew towards the sky, which would surely become the busiest place in Xi'an in the coming days......
Just when Wei Lihuang was intensively preparing for the recovery of Zhongtiao Mountain, Lieutenant General Yoshio Suzuka, commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Taiyuan, was looking at a telegram in his hand. This telegram was sent by the Third Flying Brigade, and the report said that the two Type 1 fighters that had been on a routine patrol and reconnaissance mission had not returned today, and that they were suspected to have been attacked by the Chinese air defense artillery.
Since the beginning of the war of aggression against China, the First Army has been fighting in the SX area for a long time, and their combat opponents are generally the troops of the second and first theaters. Since the full-scale war between China and Japan, Huaxia's air power has been quickly depleted, and even ZQ, a companion, is visited by Japanese planes every day, let alone SX. But today, he suddenly received a report that two fighter planes on routine patrols had suddenly disappeared, which immediately sounded the alarm in Yoshio Suzuka's heart.
After only muttering for less than a minute, Yoshio Suzuka immediately pressed a blue button on the table, and soon a young orderly immediately pushed the door and walked in, and Yoshio Suzuka immediately commanded.
"Call the head of the intelligence section, Jizaburo Kondo, to me immediately!"
"Hay!"
Soon, a middle-aged Osa with a thin body and gloomy eyes walked in, and he first saluted Yoshio Suzuka before saying in a gloomy voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, what do you command?" β
Yoshio Suzuka asked in a deep voice: "Kondo-kun, is there any information on the arrival of the Shina Air Force in the Jinnan or Jinxi region?" β
Jizaburo Kondo shook his head and said, "No, since the Shina Air Force was disabled by the Imperial Air Force, the Shina Air Force no longer has a decent air power that can pose a threat to the Imperial Air Force." Otherwise, ZQ would not have been patronized by the aviation of the Reich every day. However, since the Chinese government obtained a batch of American P-40 fighters the year before last, their air power has been greatly enhanced, but due to the limited number of their aircraft, they can only guard the sky around ZQ, and have no time to take care of the area around SX. β
Yoshio Suzuka shook his head and said, "Kondo-kun, what you said is the old yellow calendar, this is the information just sent by the Third Flying Brigade today, you can take a look." β
Jizaburo Kondo showed a look of surprise on his face after reading the telegram, he thought for a while before saying: "Your Excellency Commander, the disappearance of these two fighters does not mean anything, they may be destroyed by the anti-aircraft fire of the Chinese people, and there may be air ...... of the Chinese people" Speaking of this, Kondo Jizaburo shook his head again, neither of these possibilities is very likely.
After thinking for a while, Jizaburo Kondo said, "Your Excellency Commander, please give me a little time, and I will send someone to investigate the matter in the shortest possible time." β
Yoshio Suzuka nodded: "In that case, please Kondo-kun, but I thought about it for a while just now, do you think that the disappearance of these two fighters will have something to do with the recent counterattack on Nakajo Mountain?" β
"It's possible!" Jizaburo Kondo agreed, but he immediately raised another possibility: "If it is related to the counterattack of the Shina people on Mt. Nakajo, I think there is another possibility, that is, in order to support the First Theater of Operations, will the Chinese government send the air force originally stationed in the ZQ area to support the First Theater?" β
"Yo Xi!" Yoshio Suzuka nodded repeatedly, "Kondo-kun is right, in this case, I will immediately give the 3rd Flying Brigade an order to increase patrols in the Nakajo Mountain area and the entire Jinnan and Jinxi areas from tomorrow, and we will get information as soon as we find that there is an enemy situation." β
Soon, Yoshio Suzuka ordered to strengthen the patrol of the Nakajo Mountain area, and Kondo Jizaburo also sent a large number of agents to the Nakajo Mountain area to investigate, and three days later, the information began to feed back to Yoshio Suzuka's desk, and one of the pieces of information shocked Yoshio Suzuka so much that he almost jumped up from his chair.
"Nani, a division of the Third Army in China has been airlifted to Xi'an, and it will soon participate in the counterattack on Zhongtiao Mountain?"
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander, this is the information we just sent from our agents lurking in Xi'an! It is said that a unit of the Third Army called the 3rd Division of the National People's Militia came. β
"The 3rd Division of the National Guard? What kind of troops is this? Yoshio Suzuka looked at Jizaburo Kondo with some confusion.
Kondo hesitated for a moment before saying, "It is said that this is a force responsible for maintaining local law and order, and its nature is similar to that of the local security forces or militia groups in Shina!" β
"Yaga Yalu!"
As soon as Yoshio Suzuka heard Kondo's explanation, his originally panicked mood immediately turned into humiliation and anger.
"The people of China are really too deceitful!"
Yoshio Suzuka, who had just captured Nakajo Mountain, was in high spirits at this time, and even Nakajo Mountain, known as the Eastern Maginot Line, was taken by himself, and which other troops in Huaxia were his opponents. He was really shocked when he first heard that the Third Army also sent troops to participate in the war, after all, this army is now the most powerful force in China, since his debut, many invincible Japanese generals have fallen at his feet, and the Fukuoka incident has made him no different from the devil in the hearts of the RB people, at first glance, when he heard that the Third Army also sent troops to participate in the battle to recover Nakajo Mountain, even Yoshio Suzuka couldn't help but start worrying, It was only later that when he heard that the troops sent by Su Jin turned out to be just a local security force similar to the security forces, Yoshio Suzuka's sensitive self-esteem immediately couldn't stand it.
"Immediately order the 33rd, 36th, and 37th Divisions to immediately strengthen their alert from now on to prevent a surprise attack by the Chinese army, and also order the 3rd Flying Brigade to immediately go out with all its might. Aren't the people of China mobilizing their troops to prepare for an attack, then let the Imperial planes tell them to be careful when walking. By the way, I told the Third Army in China that it was dangerous to use planes to transport troops and supplies. β
Yoshio Suzuka's words were filled with a cold chill, but also a sense of anger, he wanted to tell the Huaxia people in this way that this was his territory, and even if the Third Army came here, he had to be careful......
"Buzz...... Buzz ......"
The roar of engines was heard in the blue sky, and as the sound of engines got closer and closer, a group of fighters painted green camouflage emerged from the clouds.
This is an ambush squadron composed of a flying squadron under the 3rd Flying Brigade, which was roamed in the sky near Chang'an at the request of Yoshio Suzuka, waiting for the arrival of the transport planes of the Third Army to ambush him. In Yoshio Suzuka's opinion, since the Third Army was going to use transport planes to transport troops and supplies, it would be too stupid for him not to take advantage of such a good opportunity. As long as the ambush is used to attack this group of transport planes, those transport planes will not be able to withstand the attack of the fighters.
The commander of the Japanese air formation, An Tengli Yuzhong, couldn't help but look around, he had led the group of planes to circle here for more than half an hour, but not to mention the plane, he didn't even see a single hair.
"Isn't the Chi man's plane coming today?" An Teng Liyou swelled up in his heart, today's first ambush mission but waited, this is not a small blow to the morale of the pilot, for a moment An Teng Liyou wanted to simply order the flight formation to turn around and find the bad luck of the airport in Xi'an, but finally he was still a little sensible, knowing that the other party's airport must have deployed a lot of anti-aircraft artillery, and because he was carrying out a sneak attack mission, the plane did not even carry a bomb, It's a joke to attack the other side's airfield with those machine guns on the plane.
I glanced at the fuel gauge at the bottom right, and the original full pointer was not far from the red cordon. He decided to circle for another ten minutes, and if the opposing fleet did not come again, he would give the order to return.
Just when An Teng Liyou was a little anxious, a fighter plane located on the far right wing of Bianzui suddenly flashed its wings desperately, and An Teng Liyou's eyes immediately looked to the right, and immediately saw a group of black dots flying towards the west at an altitude of about six thousand meters below the right.
"Yo Xi, it's finally here."
Seeing the group of aircraft below, Anteng Liyou's original anxious mood was immediately swept away, followed by full of excitement and joy. He didn't have time to think about it, he flapped his wings in the fighter plane to signal that the fighter behind him was following him, and then swooped down.
It's just that when An Teng Liyou rushed to a distance of less than a thousand meters away from that group of planes and saw those transport planes protected by more than twenty fighters in the middle, he couldn't help but gasp. These transport planes are also too large, and a rough visual inspection of this transport aircraft alone is worth the size of several first-class fighters. But what followed was a burst of excitement and ecstasy, such a large transport plane must have a lot of goods and soldiers in it, as long as one can be shot down, it is enough to make those Chinese people feel distressed for half a year.
Because the time was too urgent, Anteng Liyou, who didn't have time to think about it, quickly approached the transport plane at the top, and when he was about six hundred meters away from the transport plane, he pressed the fire button on the joystick, and three orange tongues of fire shot towards the transport plane......
