In the final analysis, Wang Lushui was still worried that not only would the arms and materials not be able to transport to the Yellow River, but also the troops would suffer heavy losses!

This kind of worry is not only Wang Lushui, but also Hu Qingyun, Zheng Xiuchuan, including Huang Hua and Huo Cheng who are crossing the ferry in Guantai!

Xiao Siming said: "After we destroy the Shijiazhuang airport, it is impossible for the Japanese army to replenish it in a short period of time. Not to mention aircraft, ammunition, and fuel, but the transfer of pilots and ground crews takes a certain amount of time. Moreover, the Provisional Air Corps of the North China Front Army has been exclusively under the command of the Central China Dispatch Army, and the main force has been transferred to the Yangtze River, and there are very few Japanese planes left in North China, so it is impossible for a large group of planes to come and bomb us! ”

As soon as he said this, Hu Qingyun asked, "How do you know?" ”

Yes, how does Xiao Siming know? This is all a secret of the Japanese army, how can Xiao Siming know?

Xiao Siming was silent, took out a cigarette and took a few puffs, and then said: "Didn't the radio, the radio and the telegram at the headquarters say it?" The Japanese army had already captured Anqing, the capital of Anhui Province, and the Potian Detachment and the 6th Division were attacking along the Yangtze River. The Chinese Air Force and the Japanese Army were fighting desperately over the Yangtze River, fighting fiercely one after another. If you think about it, the largest flying group of the Japanese army invading China in Guannai was the Temporary Air Regiment of the North China Front. Who else are fighting with the Chinese Air Force over the Yangtze River and bombing cities and key points along the Yangtze River? In such a large-scale battle, the little devils will not be less than four or five hundred planes, and we have destroyed 48 planes at the Shijiazhuang airport at once, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the planes that the Japanese army plans to deploy. Can the little devil still keep a large fleet in North China? If the Japanese army had a large aircraft group in North China, I am afraid that today would have been hovering and flying above our heads a long time ago! As a matter of fact, today and one day, weren't there just a few Japanese reconnaissance planes that appeared above us? If they dare to come, our anti-aircraft artillery battalions, heavy machine gun battalions are vegetarians? ”

Wang Lushui was moved by this, but he still said: "Anyang, Handan, and Kaifeng all have Japanese military airfields, and the distance is so close, so come and go." You can't just make a decision based on analysis and speculation! But we don't have accurate information about Anyang Airport, Handan Airport, and Kaifeng Airport, so we still have to be careful! ”

This is also true, if you don't watch out, you have to suffer!

Xiao Siming said: "In a moment, I will draft a telegram and send it to the headquarters, so that the headquarters can relay it to the First War Zone, use the fighters at Luoyang Airport, and sneak attack the Kaifeng, Anyang, and Handan airports early tomorrow morning, divert the attention of the Japanese air force, and muddy the waters!" ”

That's more thoughtful!

Wang Lushui, Hu Qingyun, and Zheng Xiuchuan all breathed a sigh of relief, but Wang Lushui still reminded: "In case it is discovered by Japanese planes, the Fifth Division does not need to think about it, and it will not be able to rush here for a while." But the Japanese army on the Weihe line to the north was far from here, and the infantry marched and arrived within a day. When the time comes, we will have to transfer supplies and meet the Japanese army, acting on both sides, and we may be very passive! ”

Xiao Siming laughed: "Political commissar, I just want the Japanese reconnaissance plane to appear on us, otherwise, how can the independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army in the north go south?" How can we possibly beat it in sports? It's just that we must complete the transfer of arms and materials before the big war, so that the main force can completely travel lightly! ”

Hu Qingyun's brows that had just stretched out furrowed again, and he said, "Commander, you can't be hot-headed!" This is a heavy group of Japanese troops, as long as we are stuck by little devils, we can't get out! I suggest not to fight the Japanese army to the death! Or hurry up and transfer supplies, and then move covertly! ”

Xiao Siming asked rhetorically: "We have two artillery brigades of artillery, and the full number of shells has become a burden, you say, will Lao Tzu be afraid of him as an independent mixed brigade?" ”

Yes, since the establishment of the Nanchang Uprising and the Autumn Harvest Uprising, when has our army ever had such equipment as the eastward advance detachment? With field artillery, mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and archery artillery, and tanks and armored vehicles, there are many shells and bullets that can be fought vigorously, are you afraid that there are only four infantry brigades left in the independent mixed fourth brigade?

Hu Qingyun figured out for a while, jumped so high, and shouted loudly: "Fight!" Lao Tzu is afraid of a bird! ”

Zheng Xiuchuan followed and shouted: "Lao Hu is right, from the Soviet area to the Jilu border and to Puyang, who have you been afraid of?" When there were only three bullets in the gun, Lao Tzu dared to ambush and charge, let alone now? ”

Wang Lushui is not afraid of the Japanese army, he is afraid of the loss of munitions, materials and troops!

At this time, Wang Lushui was also infected: "Okay! Commander, make up your mind! ”

Xiao Siming pointed to the map and said to Wang Lushui and others: "The Japanese army's big net has been completed, and our army has many vehicles and heavy equipment, and it is impossible to secretly transfer it." The only way to go is to tear the hole on the Japanese blockade line and highlight it! Therefore, I decided to build a pontoon bridge at the Guantai Ferry to transfer supplies and let the troops meet the enemy lightly! In view of the fact that the 4th Brigade of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade is located directly north of Puyang, which is the closest to Puyang, and has just lost a brigade and the materials guarded, and the psychology of eagerness for revenge is the strongest, and it is most likely to advance alone, we have determined the combat target on the 4th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade! In this battle, we must make careful arrangements and completely defeat the Fourth Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade head-on with a decisive attitude! ”

Hu Qingyun's mind was lively, and he immediately made a further explanation: "As long as we completely defeat the independent mixed fourth brigade, we can deter the Japanese army, so that they will no longer dare to pursue and intercept our army quickly with the size of a brigade, a wing, and a brigade!" In this way, we will have the opportunity to stand out from the encirclement of the Japanese heavy army group, so that the little devils will follow our ass and eat farts and become ants again! ”

Wang Lushui didn't hesitate anymore, and slapped his hand on the table: "Hit!" Develop a battle plan along these lines. Lao Tzu wants to see if his little devil's knife is fast, or the knife of my eastward advance detachment! ”

The consensus was reached, Xiao Siming immediately asked Zheng Xiuchuan to organize the troops to collect wooden rafters, planks, bed boards, and door panels in Puyang City, including scrap car tires, bicycle tires, hoists, wire ropes, big ropes, iron nails, pulleys, and boatmen, carpenters, and blacksmiths, and go to the ferry to help build a pontoon bridge, let Wang Lushui report to the Suluyu detachment, let Hu Qingyun lead the staff officers to formulate a battle plan, and he also sat down to draft a telegram to the headquarters to the headquarters of the commander of the First Theater of Operations.

In this telegram, Xiao Siming wrote very carefully, and introduced the actions taken by the eastward advance detachment in order to cooperate with the battle of Xuzhou and the battle of Lanfeng, and then turned the pen around, saying that the Japanese army was now mobilizing the 5th Division, the 16th Division, the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, the 21st Division, the 3rd Mixed Brigade, and the 4th Brigade, and set up two blockade lines from Handan to Daimyo, Fanxian, and up to the Yellow River, and from Handan to Anyang, Xinxiang, and the Yellow River. To the north were heavy Japanese groups, and to the south and east were the impassable moats of the Yellow River, and the situation was very critical.

After talking about the crisis he was facing, Xiao Siming said that the scale of the eastward advance detachment was small, and it could be transferred to the Taihang Mountains in concealment, so that the Japanese army could be encircled and emptied. However, considering that after the Japanese Fifth Division and the 16th Division were encircled and encircled, they might organize a river crossing on the spot and cooperate with the Japanese 14th Division in Kaifeng to capture Zhengzhou, and even make a detour to the west, cross the river to outflank Luoyang, and encircle the main force of the First Theater into the encirclement, which would bring great danger to the Central Plains War Situation, and also considering that after the Japanese army captured Zhengzhou, it could move south along the Pinghan Road to attack Wuhan, resulting in the rapid fall of Wuhan, the eastward advance detachment was determined to abandon the plan to withdraw to Taihang Mountain and carry out the orders of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and the First Theater Commander's Headquarters. Continue to mobilize the Japanese army, leading the Japanese army by the nose to circle in North China.

Xiao Siming even wrote in the telegram that although he knew that he was facing great danger, in the face of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species, as an anti-Japanese soldier, he did not have to have the belief of sacrifice. It is worth sacrificing a unit of the eastward advance detachment in exchange for the stability of the war situation in the Central Plains and the extension of the time to defend Wuhan, and it is also the choice of the eastward advance detachment of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army without hesitation!

After some extremely tragic explanations and statements, Xiao Siming pointed out in the telegram that the greatest impact on the eastward advance detachment was the Japanese planes, which buzzed overhead every day, bombed and strafed from time to time, causing heavy losses to the troops. Therefore, the First Theater of Operations is requested to dispatch planes to bomb Kaifeng, Anyang, and Handan airfields at 5 a.m. tomorrow in three batches and destroy the Japanese airfields.

Probably considering that the Chinese Air Force suffered heavy losses and that there were not many planes at Luoyang Airport, Xiao Siming specially reminded that this move was not about destroying how many Japanese planes, but about letting the Japanese army understand that the Chinese Air Force fighters were monitoring the movements of the Japanese fighters on the side, and could take off at any time to intercept the Japanese planes, ambush the Japanese planes, reduce the frequency of the activities of the Japanese planes, divert the attention of the Japanese air forces, and create conditions for the eastward advance detachment to break through the encirclement.

Worried that the headquarters of the commander of the First Theater would be reluctant to send extremely valuable fighters to help in the war, Xiao Siming said in a telegram that the eastward advance detachment destroyed Taiyuan Airport and Shijiazhuang Airport, destroying a total of 96 Japanese planes. The most valuable thing about these two battles was that they not only destroyed Japanese planes and airfield facilities, but also completely annihilated Japanese pilots and ground crews. It was easy to replenish the aircraft, ammunition, and fuel of the Japanese army, but it was not easy to replenish the pilots. The combat effectiveness of the Provisional Aviation Corps of the Japanese North China Front has been greatly weakened. Judging from the recent operational situation, the main force of the Provisional Air Corps of the Japanese North China Front may have been transferred to the Yangtze River to support the Wuhan operation, and the number of Japanese planes in North China is now numbered. Otherwise, during the day today, the Japanese planes would have bombed Chenqiao into ruins. The current situation is that our troops are safe and sound at Chenqiao, and the Japanese planes have not carried out large-scale bombing of Chenqiao. This shows that most of the Japanese planes have been transferred to the Yangtze River, and the anti-aircraft fire at the airfield will also be weakened.

At the end of writing, Xiao Siming actually wrote Yue Fei's Man Jianghong:

"Angry crown, by the place, Xiaoxiao rain rest. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, and be fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad.

Jing Kang is ashamed, and the courtiers hate it, when will it be destroyed. Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky. ”

Save the world, resist Japan and kill the enemy, serve the country loyally, a piece of sincerity jumps on the paper!
