Chapter 84 Participate in the protection of U.S. bombers
Zhang Lei and Lynch shot a total of 21 Japanese devils for several days, scaring the Japanese devils in Kangqiao Town so much that they no longer dared to show up at night. The Japanese puppet soldiers in the turret were the most afraid, and they did not even dare to leave the turret during the day.
The best trick to kill the Japanese devils across the Grand Canal is that the Japanese devils were shot, and it is not known who and where they were shot.
Wang Ba secretly rejoiced, thanks to helping Zhang Lei do things, otherwise Zhang Lei would definitely kill him, and only Wang Ba knew that Zhang Lei did this in the entire Kangqiao Town.
Zhang Lei does not kill the puppet army, only kills the Japanese devils, Zhang Lei does not want to waste bullets on the puppet army.
From then on, Zhang Lei asked the members of the special task force to go out in pairs to shoot cold shots at the Japanese devils, expanding the scope of the cold shots to the left and right ten miles, and sometimes shooting at the Japanese devils on the gunboats in the Grand Canal during the day.
Kangqiao Town Dazuo was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could only do it in a hurry, and he had nowhere to go.
The Japanese have been more strict about the people who pass by the bridge, but because Zhang Lei and Lynch have good citizen certificates, and Wang Ba often provides cover, it is very convenient for the two of them to enter and exit Kangqiao Town.
The Japanese devils and puppet soldiers who were in charge of patrolling the streets no longer dared to walk in the middle of the road, but only dared to walk against the wall, and they would inevitably look around with every step, very worried that a bullet would fly out of somewhere and kill their dogs.
Zhang Lei and Zhang Yuhe often meet, and Zhang Yuhe's feelings for Zhang Lei have deepened a lot. The more terrifying the atmosphere in Kangqiao Town, the more Zhang Yuhe admired Zhang Lei. Zhang Yuhe was very worried that something would happen to Zhang Lei, in her heart, Zhang Lei's life was more important than her life, and Zhang Yuhe was praying for Zhang Lei all the time.
That night, Wang Yueying took a telegram to Zhang Lei, which said that she hoped that Zhang Lei would go to eastern Zhejiang to protect the landing of US bombers on the Japanese mainland at the eastern Zhejiang airport.
Early the next morning, Zhang Lei went to Zhang Yuhe's house to say goodbye to Zhang Yuhe, and then took the special task force all the way south to Yixing, and took the national army car from the west side of Taihu Lake to Zhedong Airport.
At an airport in eastern Zhejiang, Zhang Lei and his entourage were warmly welcomed by the head of the garrison regiment.
After listening to the situation of the head of the group, all the team members were very happy.
The task of Zhang Lei and others was to stay at the airport, and once the bombers were attacked by Japanese devils after landing, they would cooperate with the garrison to counterattack and protect the safety of the planes and pilots.
On that day, 16 B25 medium bombers of the US Special Flying Squadron led by Doolittle took off from the USS Hornet, escorted by the 16th Task Force, bombed Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, and other places in Japan, and then flew to Zhedong Airport to land. After 16 planes landed at multiple airports, everything was fine. After filling the bomber with fuel, the bomber flew away.
After the US plane flew away, Regiment Commander Wang said to Zhang Lei: "Your mission has been completed and you can return." ”
Zhang Lei sighed heavily and said, "Hurry up and find a way to protect the airport!" The Japanese devils are about to launch a full-scale attack here. ”
Captain Wang asked in surprise: "What's the matter?" Where did you get the news from? ”
Zhang Lei is a modern special forces soldier and has a certain impression of the Battle of Zhejiang-Jiangxi, although he does not remember the day when the Japanese devils launched the attack, but he can guarantee that the war broke out shortly after the United States bombed the Japanese mainland. The scale was very large, with 300,000 troops on both sides, 70,000 Chinese casualties, and 36,000 Japanese casualties, and both sides considered victory.
Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater of Operations, was the commander-in-chief of the Chinese side, and Shunroku Hata was the commander of the Japanese theater.
Zhang Lei can't tell Commander Wang that Zhang Lei has a certain understanding of the battle? It can only be vaguely said that it is a guess.
Zhang Lei was not ready to leave, he decided to participate in this battle. Zhang Lei knew that this battle would last for a long time, and it would rain heavily at that time, and there would be battlefields everywhere. If Wu Siyu stayed by his side, it would be extremely dangerous, so he decided to send Wu Siyu back to Suzhou City.
When Zhang Lei was thinking about how to send Wu Siyu back to Suzhou City, Boss Dai and Gu Wei suddenly came, and Zhang Lei hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
Boss Dai held Zhang Lei's hand and said: "Zhang Lei, you have to leave quickly, I got the news that the Japanese are sending a large army to attack here, and General Gu Zhutong is also transferring troops to prepare for a big battle with the Japanese, and the whole Zhejiang will be in the flames of war." The Einsatzgruppen is a national treasure, more important than a legion, and cannot be involved in this war and make unnecessary sacrifices. Your specialty is special operations, and general warfare is a meat grinder. Wang Yueying reported to me that you wanted to participate in this war, and I knew that no one could persuade you, so I came here. ”
Zhang Lei smiled and said: "I won't fight the Japanese head-on, you can rest assured." I want to contribute to the national army in key battles. ”
Boss Dai said: "You have to understand that the airport cannot be guarded, and there is no value in guarding. The airfield is just a tarmac, there is not a single plane, even if it is blown up, it can be repaired again. The Japanese made a big mistake and actually targeted the airfield. General Gu Zhutong will not defend the airfield, but will only take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army attacked the airfield to effectively kill and injure the Japanese army. It's very dangerous for you to stay here, and the Japanese bombing targets will be the first choice here. We went to Gucun together and used Gucun as our headquarters behind enemy lines to support the national army's anti-Japanese war. I will personally sit in charge, and the military commanders and the Loyal National Salvation Army will participate. ”
After thinking about it, Zhang Lei nodded and said, "Okay!" Then we will immediately withdraw from the village, and within a few days, the Japanese devils will attack. ”
Gu Yutong's family immediately became the headquarters of the forces behind enemy lines that supported the Nationalist army in resisting the Japanese attack in Zhejiang.
Two days after Boss Dai arrived, the two columns of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army, and the leaders of the military commanders in Su Xichang and Shanghai, also arrived one after another.
Zhang Lei sent a report to invite Wang Qiang, now Wang Qiang is the detachment leader and political commissar, Liu Changhou is the deputy detachment leader, and Wang Qiang's level is higher than Liu Changhou. After Wang Qiang came, the troops were handed over to Liu Changhou to take full responsibility.
Although Boss Dai is a major general, he has the power to deploy lieutenant generals.
A number of Eight Immortal Tables were placed in the ancestral hall, and white cloth was spread on the Eight Immortal Tables, which were transformed into operational headquarters.
A huge map hangs on the wall.
The officers all lived in Gu Yutong's house, and the guard work was entrusted to the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army.
The military commander brought in a generator, and the ancestral hall and Gu Yutong's house were temporarily electrified and installed with electric lights.
Boss Dai presided over the meeting, and various system leaders, including Wang Qiang, the head of the New Fourth Army, attended.
Zhang Lei wore a major general's uniform and sat in the nearest seat of Boss Dai. Since the New Fourth Army is an ally, although Wang Qiang has no rank, after serving as the detachment leader, he is equivalent to the rank of brigade commander or above. Boss Dai asked Wang Qiang to sit opposite Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei sat next to Gu Wei, and Gu Wei was a colonel. After everyone sat down, Boss Dai began to talk about the situation.
Boss Dai stressed that this battle is of great significance, and if it fails, it will not only lose Zhejiang, but also Anhui and Jiangxi, and the Japanese devils will be able to attack Changsha and Wuhan from the north and south, and China's interior will be in extreme danger. Therefore, the president ordered to hold Zhejiang at all costs, and to defend Zhejiang is to guard the gate south of the Yangtze River.
Boss Dai said that the commander-in-chief of the Chinese side of this battle was Gu Zhutong, commander of the Third Theater of Operations, and he was dispatching troops to decide to fight to the death against the Japanese devils in the entire region of Zhejiang and Jiangxi.
Boss Dai said: "The task of our forces behind enemy lines is to cooperate with frontal operations, destroy the logistics supply lines of the Japanese army, attack and harass the Japanese army, and blow up the strategic targets of the Japanese army. ”
After Boss Dai finished speaking, a column leader pointed to the map with a long wooden stick and asked everyone to report the location. Then, he pointed out with a wooden root and told the approximate location of the Japanese army and the national army.
It's not a combat map, it's just a topographical map. The reason is simple, the combat map is only available to combat units and belongs to the top secret level. Boss Dai has the ability to get the battle map, but it's useless to get it, because the position of the army on the battle map is always changing, and he can't be like Gu Zhutong, who can let the staff draw a map every moment.
The meeting has been held for a long time, and today's meeting is mainly to understand the situation and unify ideological understanding, and no arrangements have been made for how to support frontal battlefield operations.
Zhang Lei did not speak at the meeting.
After returning to the courtyard of the special task force, Zhang Lei convened everyone in the courtyard for a short meeting to inform them of the spirit of the meeting. In the courtyard hangs an incandescent lamp of several hundred watts, which illuminates everyone's room.
After the meeting, Zhang Lei returned to the room, and the two of them, such as the flower beauty Wu Siyu and Xiaohua, served Zhang Lei to wash his feet and face.
Zhang Lei lay on the bed, hugged the beautiful Wu Siyu, and whispered: "The big war is coming, I think it's better to send you back to the city." ”
Wu Siyu pouted and said, "No! I'm going to be with you, you're about to fight, I should be with you even more, I can't go to war, but I can accompany you and make you happy. ”
Zhang Lei said: "Once you carry out the mission, you may not be able to come back for a long time, what will you do then?" How can I rest assured of leaving you here alone. ”
Wu Siyu whispered, "Then I'll wait for you here." No matter where you go? I want you to know that I am waiting for you to return safely. ”
Two days later, in the morning, Boss Dai personally came to Zhang Lei's room and said to Zhang Lei: "General Gu Zhutong wants to know the Japanese army's offensive intentions and troop deployment, but how can we possibly know? Gu Zhutong thought we were immortals! I'm. ”
After Zhang Lei thought about it, he whispered: "I'll figure out a way, I'll let Zhang Yuhe go to Sakai Naoji and eavesdrop on the information." ”
