Vol. 5 The Burning Sun Section 3 Land Grabbing [Outbreak of 800 Votes]
Jeju Island is only about 7oo kilometers away from Qingdao, and the transport plane transporting Liao Hanxiang and Tan Renhao landed at noon, and the four escort fighters did not land, but flew back to Qingdao after completing their mission. After more than a year of construction, Jeju Island has become the closest strategic fortress of the Tang Empire to the Japanese mainland.
When the war broke out, Jeju Island was the focus of contention between the two sides. The Japanese initially planned to capture Jeju Island after capturing Ryukyu Island and sweeping the Nam Seas region, in order to threaten the industrial towns of the eastern coast of the empire. If the Japanese captured Jeju Island, Japanese shore-based bombers could easily bomb all the eastern coastal towns of the empire, from the Liaodong Peninsula to the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region. Moreover, Japan can also provide escort for these bombers, and the fighters can easily tear through the air defense network of the imperial mainland, and can also cover the Japanese 6th Army on the Korean Peninsula.
The same Imperial bombers, if they were to leave Jeju Island, could bomb Kyushu, Shikoku, and the western part of Honshu Island, and at the same time threaten the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula. Fighter jets deployed on Jeju Island could intercept groups of bombers from the Japanese mainland to bomb the eastern cities of the empire.
After the Battle of Jeju Island, Japan has lost the ability to board 6 on Jeju Island. For more than a year, the empire has not given up the expansion work on Jeju Island, especially after the Japanese army landed on the Korean Peninsula, the imperial 6th Army aviation has established 12 airfields in the northeastern region of Jeju Island in just a few months, and deployed thousands of combat aircraft, many of which are bombers. In addition to bombing the port city on the westernmost tip of Japan's island of Kyushu and Honshu, these bombers were also tasked with bombing Japanese troops and military installations on the Korean Peninsula.
The six airports chosen by Liao Hanxiang are all located between Pyoseon-ri and Seogwipo, which is the southeastern region of Jeju Island. These six airfields were originally supposed to be built by the engineers of the 6th Army, but the engineers of the 6th Army have been concentrating on the north and east sides of the island, and there is not enough manpower to complete the construction of these six airfields. Later, the task of building these six airports fell to the 6th Combat Corps Engineers. It's just that. Later, the 6th Sentai adjusted the main direction of operations to the Ryukyu Island, so the engineers of the 6th Sentai retreated after completing the construction of the airfield, runway, and some of the most basic infrastructure. The 6th Army has also been unable to arrange personnel to come over and expand the size of the airport. These six airfields have also become emergency landing sites for the fighters of the 6th Army, and they are not the bases of the 6th Army Air Force.
"Sir......
A soldier of the 6th Army ran over, and when he saw Liao Hanxiang and Tan Renhao, the two generals, he was also taken aback: "Sir, this is ......."
"This is the airport of the Imperial ** team, go and call the highest-ranking officer here, immediately!"
Liao Hanxiang didn't give the little soldier any chance to argue at all.
"Yes. Sir! ”
Within a moment, a second lieutenant officer ran over, and he was also very surprised when he saw Liao Hanxiang and Tan Renhao, two generals who "fell from the sky".
"Gather your troops now!"
Liao Hanxiang looked the second lieutenant officer up and down: "This place is now taken over by the navy, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask your commander, if he doesn't understand, you can ask his commander again." Now gather all of your people right now. Hand over control of the airport to us! ”
"This ......"
"Ensign. Do you have any doubts about my words? ”
"No, sir!"
The second lieutenant officer immediately shouted.
"Then go and carry out the order immediately!"
"It's sir!"
Wait for the second lieutenant officer to walk away. Tan Renhao and several other officers laughed at this time. Liao Hanxiang has been in the 6th Army for several years, and he must have a good understanding of the psychology of the officers and men of the 6th Army.
"Leave a squad here, and the transport plane will arrive in about an hour and a half!"
Liao Hanxiang gave an order to his adjutant: "The others follow me to the second airport!" ”
Half an hour later, Liao Hanxiang and the others arrived at another nearby airport in a vehicle that they had "snatched" from the 6th Army. As a result, after some angry scolding and intimidation, the second lieutenant of the 6th Army there also strangely handed over the command of the airport. After leaving the second shift, the group continued to the third and fourth airports...... By about four o'clock in the afternoon, the guards at the six airfields had all been replaced by naval officers. And there is at least one major officer on every airfield.
"It's half past four, it's almost time to arrive!"
Liao Hanxiang glanced at his watch and then looked at the northwest sky.
A few small black dots appeared on the top of Hallasan Mountain, and then gradually approached. It was the last transport planes to arrive, and these transport planes were carrying a company of naval officers and sailors, who would be responsible for controlling the sixth airfield.
"Damn, wait for the news to spread, Wei Boyu's bastard look must be very good-looking, right?"
Liao Hanxiang laughed, "Last time." Let him get a head start on the Korean Peninsula, and this time by the time he reacts, I'm afraid we'll already be back. ”
"Maybe he's not that slow to react!"
Tan Renhao looked at the road north of the airport, and a train was approaching, "Maybe he's coming." ”
Liao Hanxiang immediately looked over there: "It's better to come, so that he won't embarrass those officers." ”
Tan Renhao nodded. There is a reason why Liao Hanxiang deliberately kept a major at every airport. In front of the general, the lieutenant may not even have the courage to raise his head, but the colonel is different, and the colonel can still argue with the general. This point may seem to have no effect, but in fact it is very important, because the officer can not directly listen to the orders of the non-direct general, and the captain can only obey the general's orders unconditionally.
At this time, four transport planes also began to land. The naval officers and men on those transport planes must have also seen the convoy on the ground, so before the planes had completely stopped, the naval officers and men rushed out in full gear, rushed to several important points of the airport, took control of the airport's gates, towers, and other places, and also erected barricades at the gates.
"Let's go, let's go first, lest we make those officers angry!"
Liao Hanxiang threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stepped on it, and then walked towards the airport gate with an iron face.
Tan Renhao immediately followed Liao Hanxiang towards the airport gate, and it seemed that Liao Hanxiang was going to give Wei Boyu a little color this time.
The convoy stopped outside the gate, and Wei Boyu, who was sitting in the front car, jumped down angrily, and he was just about to go to the navy soldier standing by the gate when he saw Liao Hanxiang and Tan Renhao walking over. Wei Boyu spared the innocent soldier. Gritting his teeth, he walked towards Liao Hanxiang and them.
"General, if you don't have a pass, then please stop here!"
A major officer immediately went up to stop Wei Boyu, and he looked very unpolite.
"You ......"
Wei Boyu was about to be blown up.
"Major, how can you talk to General Wei like that?"
Liao Hanxiang laughed and walked over: "How can I say that General Wei is also a guest." We in the Navy are all polite, do we know what politeness is? ”
"Yes. Sir! ”
The major officer immediately puffed out his chest.
Liao Hanxiang waved his hand. Let the major officer step aside. Tan Renhao looked at all this curiously, he didn't have a good impression of Wei Boyu, not to mention that the last investigation incident was caused by Wei Boyu, if it weren't for the principal and a few other people, now Tan Renhao is probably still herding cattle at home!
"General Wei didn't come all the way here because I wanted to invite you to tea, right?"
Liao Hanxiang walked in front of Wei Boyu, and actually blocked Wei Boyu's way into the airport.
"Humph!"
Wei Boyu sneered, "General Liao." You've come all the way, haven't you? ”
How can you say that? I came from another airport. You're coming from the north of the island, aren't you? ”
Liao Hanxiang also sneered: "Why do you have such a good leisure today." Didn't go to the North Korean side? ”
Tan Renhao was about to laugh out loud next to him, Liao Hanxiang is indeed an old fritter, and he has been mixed at the grassroots level for so many years, so that Liao Hanxiang always has that ruffianism, which is incompatible with the nobility of the navy, but on this occasion, Liao Hanxiang's ruffian spirit is more useful.
"General Liao, you are provoking the contradiction between the two armies of the Sea 6!"
Wei Boyu's face is obviously not as thick as Liao Hanxiang's, at least on the surface.
"Really? And what about the North Korean side? And. You're doing this to the detriment of the Empire, don't you know what kind of clothes you're wearing right now? ”
Liao Hanxiang was also immediately unwelcome: "As the emperor, we are all fighting for the empire, what are you still dividing the two armies of the sea 6, you are obviously the view of the portal, or will we go to the prime minister to reason?" ”
"You ......"
Wei Boyu clenched his fists, and the subordinates on both sides immediately tensed. After a while. Wei Boyu calmed down and asked his men to retreat first. "General Liao, you are encroaching on the airport without permission, and this is harming the interests of the empire."
"Haha......"
Liao Hanxiang suddenly laughed, and then approached Wei Boyu: "Privately occupied? Do you think I want these airports to raise cattle? I'm requisitioning these airfields on behalf of the Imperial Navy, don't think I'm going to sue you for defamation and framing if we've known each other for years. What else is harming the interests of the empire, those who occupy the pit and do not are harming the interests of the empire. How long has the airport been under construction? Have there been 6 ground planes here in the past few months? General Wei: Before you say the next sentence, you'd better think about it, don't think that you can open your mouth and fart if there are no witnesses here! ”
Wei Boyu trembled all over, fortunately he didn't have high blood pressure, heart disease or anything, otherwise he would definitely have been angry and burst his blood vessels.
"General Wei, in fact, if you have any questions, why don't you ask your superiors for instructions?"
Tan Renhao walked over: "At least we are all reasonable, and we are not playing tricks behind others, what are you going to say, let's put it out, right?" ”
Liao Hanxiang immediately laughed, and talked about Renhao's words even more detrimentally.
"Okay, you're amazing, then we'll see!"
"Be careful not to fall down!"
Liao Hanxiang also roared in the back.
After Wei Boyu left with his men, the two laughed.
"Major immediately contact Qingdao to arrange a battalion of garrisons for each airport for me tonight, and build all the nearby defense facilities, no one is allowed to enter the airport without a navy pass!"
"It's the general!"
Liao Hanxiang nodded at the major, and then took Tan Renhao into the airport. "This time, Wei Boyu was about to be blown up, and he also helped you out of his bad breath. But that old bastard is a chicken-hearted chicken, and he'll definitely find a way to deal with us. ”
"What do you want to do so much now? If he really has the ability, go to the principal to make trouble, and see what kind of fame he can make. ”
Tan Renhao sneered.
"By the way, we still have to say hello to the Navy Command!"
Liao Hanxiang immediately reacted: "Let the marshal, they get ready." If Wei Boyu finds Marshal Yan Dingyu, then he will definitely reflect the matter to Marshal Nie Renfeng, and when the time comes, maybe he will have to make trouble with the prime minister, so let's take more precautions! ”
"This matter must be dealt with immediately."
Immediately, Liao Hanxiang called the major officer over and asked him to contact Wu Xianyu, and then Wu Xianyu, in his capacity as the commander of the Western Pacific Theater, submitted a report to the Navy Command on the official requisition of these six airfields. Of course, there has to be some scrupulous timing in the submission of the report. This will be up to Tan Renhao to contact Gan Yongxing and ask Chief of Staff Gan Yongxing to do some cooperation. In this way, even if someone on it is checked, the report will be written first, and then the land will be requisitioned, and the airport procedures will be perfected, and Wei Boyu will not be famous.
"In fact, the most important thing is that we must deploy combat aircraft here as soon as possible, otherwise, the 6th Air Force can completely ask us to give up the airport!"
"I think ......"
Tan Renhao hesitated slightly: "Let the test flight of the new bomber be carried out here, and then there will be nothing to say about the 6th flight!" ”
Liao Hanxiang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed. "Or you kid, your brain is turning fast, and it is indeed a good idea to control the airport in the name of test flight. In addition, I will contact the engineering troops, and then build the infrastructure here in advance as a test flight, so that as long as the bombers are officially put into service, we can launch strategic bombing on the Japanese mainland. ”
Tan Renhao nodded again and again, which also shortened the preparation time before the strategic bombing and allowed the bomber unit to adapt to the situation of the new base as soon as possible. It can be said that this is a double thing.
