Chapter 290: Ambush the Devil (17)
Hearing Chen Cheng's words, Bai Chongxi shook his head and said, "Now the question is whether the remaining troops of the new 1st Division have been replenished, can they still be like Chaohu again!" If it is still so fierce, there will be no problems in the battle of Wuhan! However, if the combat strength of the new division decreases, we must prepare at least six divisions to replace or assist the new division in defense! ”
He Yingqin heard Chen Cheng and Bai Chongxi's words, thought for a while and said, "This is not the place to say this!" We'll talk about it in the office! After speaking, He Yingqin took the lead and walked to his office. Back in the office, He Yingqin said to his secretary: "Call the new 1st Division immediately and tell Zhang Cheng that we have agreed to have them in charge of the palace, and let them find a way to get rid of the encirclement of the Japanese army now." Shrink your forces and prepare for the affairs of the palace! At the same time, let them send us the battle plan of the queen as soon as possible! ”
"Yes!" As he spoke, the secretary walked out of He Yingqin's office quickly. Twenty minutes later, Zhang Cheng received a call back from Wuhan Xingying. Looking at the telegram, Zhang Cheng frowned and thought for a while and said, "Old Gao, how many troops do we have now?" Gao Zhisong was stunned when he heard Zhang Cheng's words. After a while, Gao Zhisong, who came back to his senses, replied seriously: "We only have one brigade in our hands now!" Chen Qingshan and Hu Rongda's two brigades are now put together, and there are only three regiments and two battalions! ”
Hearing Gao Zhisong's words, Zhang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Now it seems that we can only let go and fight!" I hope that the special operations battalion will be able to pull out the devil's airfield within three days! That way we have a better chance of winning! ”
Before you know it, it's getting dark. Looking at the dark sky, Song Hu said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that God would help us too!" Saying that, Song Hu called the four captains together and said: "After entering the airport, the first squadron is responsible for the Japanese machine gun positions around it; The 2nd Squadron was responsible for the barracks of the Japanese airfield garrison brigade; The third squadron was responsible for blowing up Japanese aircraft and ammunition depots; The fourth squadron was responsible for solving the Japanese aircraft pilots and the tower command center! ”
Hearing Song Hu's words, after the four captains looked at each other, they heard Song Hu continue: "If there is no objection, all departments will start preparing immediately!" Depart in half an hour! ”
"Yes!" The four captains stood up and said in unison: "Guarantee to complete the task!" After saying that, the four captains split up and left. Half an hour later, Song Hu led the reconnaissance battalion into the Japanese airfield from the minefield north of the airfield. Looking at the Japanese patrols coming and going, Song Hu immediately ordered: "According to the predetermined plan, separate actions!" ”
With Song Hu's order issued, the special combat team began to act. Liu Liang led a squadron of soldiers to quietly solve the Japanese machine gun positions around the airport. While occupying the machine gun position, the second captain Xu Wei led the second squadron to quietly enter the camp of the Japanese airport garrison brigade.
After finishing all the Japanese soldiers, when they were about to walk towards the headquarters of the garrison brigade, the Japanese officers who came out of the brigade headquarters and were preparing to patrol the night found Xu Wei. Xu Wei knew that the action was leaking, and immediately pulled the trigger in his hand and ordered loudly: "Fight quickly!" ”
Hearing Xu Wei's words, the soldiers of the second team threw more than a dozen grenades at the office of the Japanese airfield garrison brigade. Song Hu, who was commanding the troops to attack not far away, heard the explosion and immediately said to the herald beside him: "Hit two red signal flares!" ”
"Bang, bang!" With the launch of two red signal flares, Zhao Zitai, who saw the signal flares, immediately turned the muzzles of all the machine guns on the machine gun position and aimed them at the barracks of the Japanese plane pilot. More than ten minutes later, the Japanese troops at the airport who reacted suddenly exploded.
Just when the Japanese airfield was in chaos, Li Kezhong led three teams to quickly drop bundles of cluster bombs into the airfield of the Japanese plane. After about two hours of busy work, Song Hu and his guards withdrew from the Japanese airfield by the same route. After withdrawing from the airport, Zhao Zitai, the fourth captain, said to Song Hu: "Captain! What a pleasure tonight! ”
Hearing Zhao Zitai's words, Song Hu looked at his watch and said, "Tell the brothers to speed up the march and strive to reach Dangtu before dawn!" After walking for about two hours, Jiang Bin walked to Song Hu's side and said, "Captain! Do you want to take a break in place? ”
Song Hu thought for a while and said, "Okay! Rest in place for 10 minutes! After speaking, Song Hu walked to the telegraph soldier and said, "Send a telegram to the division immediately!" Our unit has successfully destroyed the airfield of the Japanese army in Nanjing! Now I am preparing to cross the river from Dangtu back to Chaohu! ”
After receiving Song Hu's telegram, Gao Zhisong happily walked in front of Zhang Cheng and said, "Sit! Tomorrow the little devil's plane will be dumb! Hearing Gao Zhisong's words, Zhang Cheng took the telegram and looked at it seriously and said, "It's really good!" So that our casualties will be much smaller! ”
Just when Zhang Cheng was elated, after receiving the news of the destruction of the airport, the commander of the dispatch army shouted angrily: "Which branch of the army did the Nanjing airport?" Hearing Shunroku Hatata's words, Chief of Staff Tsukada Ken frowned and said, "Your Excellency Commander! I suspect it was the New Fourth Army! ”
When Shunroku Hata heard Tsukada's words, he thought for a while and said, "I want the west!" Tsukada-kun, your analysis is very accurate! The *** troops of China will not be able to defeat the Imperial Army of our Great Japanese Empire at all! Only the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army is still strong! Saying that, Shunroku Hata walked to the map, looked at it and said, "Tsukada-kun, you and the staff will come up with a sweeping plan as soon as possible!" Be sure to consolidate the occupied territories! ”
Just as Shunroku Hata was talking to Tsukada Tsukasa, Jiro Ono, the head of the special high Komei Agency, walked up to Shunroku Hata and said, "Your Excellency Commander! My men just finished surveying the site! They reported to me that it was the new 1st Division of the Chinese Army that attacked the airfield! ”
Hearing Ono Jiro's words, Shunroku Hata looked at Ono Jiro in disbelief and said, "Ono-kun! Is there any basis for your words? As far as I know, now the new 1st Division of the Shina Army is besieged in Chaohu by the Imperial Army of our Great Japanese Empire! So could you please tell me where the troops who attacked the airfield came from? ”
Jiro Ono took out a telegram and said, "Your Excellency, Commander! Please see, this is what we sent back about what happened tonight! Shunroku Hata took the telegram, looked at it seriously, and said: "Immediately inform the commander of the Ninth Division, Hara Mamoru, and ask him to destroy all the new divisions of the Shina Army at all costs!" ”
"Hey!" Chief of Staff Tsukada Tsukada sent Shunroku Hatata's order by telegram to the headquarters of the 9th Division without hesitation. In Chaohu, the original guard was called out by the chief of staff Nakagawa Hirodo in his sleep and said: "Your Excellency the division commander! The Central China Dispatch Army Headquarters sent an urgent telegram! ”
